BASTOVER WRECK. cgro Tramps Badly Battered?Kiii lirt* Toms Creek Trestle Demolish? ed. it was learned hers Thursday thai the wreck, to A. C. L. freight train, No. 221, going from Columbia to Charleston, which occurred Wed? nesday morning, at Toms Creek tres? tle, near Kastover, was caused by the flange of one of the coal cars mount? ing the rail, and Anally jumping the track, and running along on the ties to tin- trestle until it iandgd at the bottom of the trestle, the entire tres? tle structure being demolished. The trestle is about lOO feet long. Fourteen cars of the train were de? railed, and piled high In tbe air, a mass of wreckage. In one car, loaded with machinery, was a stationary boiler smoke stack; and a negro tramp beating his way from Columbia to this city, and bound for Mar's Bluff, had crawled in the smoke stack to hide from the conductor. When the smash-up occurred, this ?tack was thrown 60 feet from the track, out into a field, and the "hobo" w Ith it. When the noise had subsided, the negro crawled out, and was found bleeding and severely battered, but still far from being "out of the light." lie was sent to a hospital in Columbia to have his wounds dress? ed. According to the negro's statement, there was a white tramp aboard the train when it left Columbia, but he has not yet been found, and it is feared that, if he was on the train at the time the wreck occurred, he was caught under the wreckage In the trestle. Immediately after the wreck oc? curred, a wrecking train was dis? patched to the scene, from Florence, to clear the main line, but it was found to be such a bad wreck, that the wrecking train from South Rocky Mount was also sent down to assist in the work. The wreckage has been sufficiently cleared away for the main line to be used again, and traffic over the road was resumed Thursday. WANTED?About 50 goats. Any number taken.
