The head engmeman, too late, saw the cpen target. .He applied the meter- •gn.cy air, threw his engine over,. and whistled the alarm. The migithest efforts of a dozen ongineseevould have, been powerless to check the heavy ithia. On the quarry track stood three fllat cars loaded with granite blocks for the abutments of the new Smoky Creek Bridge. On a eanded track, rolling at thirty miles an hour and screaming in the clutches of the burning brakes*, the heavy engines struck the switch like an andel-who; reared upon the granite laden lats. and with forty.loads of cattle plunged into the caramel below; not a car re- mained. ,on the rails. The head brake- man; riding in the seconnd 'cab, was instantly killed, and the engine crews, who jumped were badly hurt. The whole operating aepartment of, the road was stirred: What in.o.de the. affair more dreadful was. that it had occurred on the time of Number Six, the eaz-bound paesenger train, held that morning at Sleepy Cat by an engine failure.
