Ono of the most disastrous wrecks on the Mountain division occurred in the neigh borhood of Meacbam Thursday afternoon at about 1 :10 o'clock. No. 8, tho east going freight, was late, nml with a double InAuler attached was tolling up tho iuounl;iins at tho rate of fifteen miles an hour. Shortly after the leading engino had passed through the tunnel a short distance this side of Mcaeh nm station, Ungincer Uarnluirt glanced out of tho cab window and saw tho engino of No. 10, the west bound freight, coming at a ten milo gait, fifty yards away. Ho ex claimed, "My tiod!" and his lireiuau, Krunk McConnell, eviiHntly not under standing iiiln, glanced up uiipiirlugly while in tho uet of scooping up a shovelful of coal, just as tho two engines struck. I'oor Krunk ; ho was caught iu tho crush of the crowding f ngines and killed instantly. In tho collision tho two opposing engines were wedged i lovely together, while tho sec ond engine on No. 8 crowded forward, pushed the tender in trout to one side, and reared truant on top of the boiler of tho loading engino. In the reaction it rolled to olio side, ami this freed Darnhart. who hud been caught in his cub liko a mouse inn trap by the. crush, nml narrowly es caped his lh ennui's fate. There was scarcely room to jump.
