A Freight Dashes at Full Speed Into
a Passenger Train-

Chicago, 0-t. 11. A terrible accident
occurred on the Cliii iio & Atlantic rail
road last niilit ut Kout.3, a small station
about fifty-Jive miles east of Chicago.
Passenger train No. 12, which left here
at 7:43 p. in., stopped just this side of
Ivouts at D:-10 to make some repairs. Tlie
fust freight train No. 4S, which should
follow on instructions, received a clear
bill ut Boone Grove, six miles we-t of
Ivouts, and had got up a good speed
when it crashed iuto the rear of the halt
etl passenger irain. ine nigni was
dark and the scene during the next half
hour was dreadful. The rear coaches of
the passenger train were smashed and
telescoped so that the three occupied less
space than on No one in the Pulln ..
sleepers wis injured. Tli-3 conductor
tlen-i'! " 1 ' ' ' "'"vvi--- h -'C tht all
scipod bo. ..- . .. . : i ' car
ami none were injured in ihe collision.
General Manager liroughton, witli all the
clerks and others who could be of any
use at the scene, left as soon as he heard
f the accident this morning.
Upon the arrival of the wrecked train
it the water tank, the scene of the acci
dent, the engineer discovered a portion
of the engine out of gear and a stop was
made to iix it. A signal is said to have
been sent back to stop the next train
ihould it come along while the passenger
was still at the water tank, but for some
reason this signal was ignored, if sent,
ind themeat express, which ruus at a
nigh rate of speed, crashed into the train.
flie entire passenger train, consisting of
live cars, was completely wrecked. Amid
a pandemonium of crnshiug timbers and
human shrieks and toppling fragments
of the wreck the horror wus tripled when
he confused mass of splintered and
broken wood was discovered to be on
fire. Those who miraculously escaped
uninjured immediately turned their at
tention to those imprisoned in the wreck,
mil all but about twenty, it is now
thought, were rescued.
V PASSENGER'S IIAKKOIUNO N A UK ATI VK.
One gentleman, a passnger from Taun-
U.n, Mass., who was on his way home,
vas sitting in the first car asleep, with
hi hind on his satchel. "The first I
kn 'W," said lie, "I heard a frightful crash
iud the cur seemed shattered and the
piece were Hying past me. The next I
new I found myself almost buried in
the ruins and they seemed to keep piling
up. I tried to extricate myself and found
was near a window. It was very dark
ind all around me were yells and groans
ind the blackness, made it fearful. I
lidn't seem to be hurt bey ml being
Jiakpn up, so I called for help out of the
window. Some man -I dn't know who
helped me out, and I then turned in
md helped to get others out. A little
while after I got out, though, the whole
thing took fire, and we were forced to
;:ve up working on it, bit by bit, and
iet it burn with the horrible cries of those
insido in our ears. At one place there
were two or three women, apparently all
ogether, and we tried to get them out.
They vere shrieking all the time in a
manner to freeze one's blood, for the fire
was cominti nearer to them all the time.
Wo worked as long as we could, but could
not get them out, and the fire came ail
iround them and finally silenced their
-creams, lo near tneir tiesperaie cries.
is the fire came nearer and nearer, and
finally reached them, was simply ap
palhog." FIRS ADDS TO TUB HOItROn.
The wreck burned to the trucks, no
facilities being at hand to extinguish the
iire. A car load of the injured was taken
astward from the wreck Jthis forenoon.
They were maimed, bruised and burned,
some quite badly.
A PATHETIC INCIDENT
A pathetic iucident of the wreck is re
lated by the station agent. Is is of a
young lady from Ohio, wliose name
could not be .remembered. She was one i
of the passe ngers ou tha ill-fated train,
and wfcen the crash came, with presenco
of mind and energy worth a strong mind
ed masculine, she seized an axe from its
resting placo on the bide of the car aid
hewed her way through to the window.
Her own safety assured, her thoughts
turned to the liolplcs3 unfortunate ones
t - -i
whose cries for assistance eounueci ueuinu
l..-p. Thev did not call in vain, for the
...... j .
tinn of the cries ami
Tiersonally aided those poor eouls from
the wreck. To use her own language:
"I did all I could, and would have con
Perry crying
and moaning pileous.y that hi feet tre
burning. Then my strength aT0 way,
and I was compelled to desist and seek
assistance mi'self."

company, composed of men. women and
children, dance to the music of a peculiar
kind of drain, which to accompanied by the
singing and shouting of the dancers.
The first day is occupied in feasting and
tho night is taken up with a dance. Tha
second day is used as a fast, In which they

There is no choosing partners and no flirta

Mexican Waterspouts
A dispatch from the City of Mexico says
that recent serious damage done by wash
out- on the northern section of tha Mexican
Central road was due to waterspouts bursting
on the track, and that it Is a curious fact that
waterspouts seem to be attracted by the Iron
track and telegraph wires. Recently In build
ing the Guadalajara branch of the Mexican
Central railway, it has been noticed by engi
neers that as fast as the construction advances
rain follows, and they bold that this is due to
the large quantity of steel rails on flat cars,
which are carried forward as fast as the work
of construction permits. The most notiwable
fact is that the country is dry in advance of
the construction trains and also behind them
for many miles. Rams beat stewn, as de
scribed, in bucketfuls just where the steel
rails are, but only in cireles a few n-ilea in
diameter. Rochester Democrat.

The Hnca Landed Seashore.
The cities of the seaboard are like heated

but then, the seashore to only a Uttle better
than the oven. The dead glare of the sua on
the level and blistered eea; the rank smells of
the marsh bogs, and the ooay Cats steaming
stenchful under the hot rays warn the side to
out; the night fogs, the ehilly dank mornings;
the soppy mists which roll their wetness even
into your sleeping chamber; and then the dis

seaweed and all the trees drip dismally 1 Ob
