Mn.wAtncni : . Oct. 28. The limited passen
ger train on the Chicago , Milwaukee & St.
r.uilralltoad which left bete last nlcht at
10 , was del ailed at Ilio when about three
houis out and thrown Into nn old stone
quarry. The particulars are hard to net , but
It Is admitted nt the Rcneral olllceot the com
pany in tills city that ono coach and tlneo
( sleepers were wrecked aitdllvuor six persons
killed. I'hjblcl.uis left tins city on tlto oaily
tinln for the scene of the disaster.
It Is repotted that out of ten persons
who occupied ono of the passenger coaches
se.ven weio killed. A gentleman irom
Chicago and two clilldien from Wlnonawcro
the only ones saved from Ihe passenger
coach. None of the occupants of the sleepers
wcio Injured. Nothing h'as yet been leained
In regard to the number wounded , limrl-
neer Searle. at first lepoited killed , was only
slightly hint. it. Lawenbach , a job printer
of this city , who was on thewiccked train ,
savs tlie passenger ciach which contained
between llfteen and twenty persons was tele
scoped at both ends and the Ilio that envel
oped the wreck prevented the Imprisoned
mid Injuied patbenpeis iiom escaping * 1'as-
senders fioi'i the slcepcis gathered around
the bla/.lnc cars , but wen1 powerless to ren
der assistance. Men and women could
bo H'on tearing their hair in the
ngony of the moment and frightful screams
issued from the death trap. One heavy
woman in paitlctilar , he says , tore up one of
the heals and endeavored to bieak her way
out , but her streiutli failed anil she tell to
tlio Moor und met witli a horrible death. Only
tluco persons Oic.tped fiom the passenger
coach. Lawunbach says a man and two
clilldien foict'd thmnselvcs out thiouu'h the
ventilators to the top of tlio car , with all
clothing from the waist down burned oil' his
body , and the llcsh loasted and bleeding
fiom cuts inlllcled by bioken glass. Lveiy
oniiol the w recked c.us weie consumed , with
the execution ot the last .sleeper , which was
cut away fiom the burning vvivek. All
the bodies of the victims wore burned In the
wieck.
The Kvenlnp Wisconsin's special from

ditched at Kast Itlo Siding , u small station
about thlileen miles east ol this city on tlie

to attend to the switch. Ono icpoit
says tlie icar brakeman , whoso bus- !
lie's it was to cloio the switch after
Iho tialn , tor some leasoii neglected
altogether to do so. The other nnd moie
ptobib'e story Is that ho started back to

fc > . the limited , which does not stop ill any ex
cept latge places , came loiring down guide
at lifty miles an hour and left the Kills at the

Many others wcic inju ed by a seveie cliak-

tlio exception of ono s'eeper ' was
burned up. Superintendent Colllow" was on

was waiting at tlie station , tour miles tills

fioon on the hcene. The wreckIng -
Ing tiain with surgeons went from Ihlscity

The Globe has Ilio following statement
from Bishop Whlpplo in iclation to tlie acci
dent : "A ireluht tiain reached Ulo about
twenty minutes beloro tlio limited train
which was wrecked , and tlio switch had been
left open. Our tialn was colng at the rate of
foity-llvo miles an hour , so the tiain oltlcials
sail ) , and tlio courage and bravery of the
engineer cannot bo praised too highly. Ho
slaved with the engine , and 1 never knew an
ait brake to be set so quickly and strotmly as
that one was. Our train was composed ot an
engine , nmil and haKgago car , day co.ich ,
and tlueti sleepers , and all except the slcopcis
went elf the tiucK and look lire immediately.
I was in Ihe hi"t sleeper and hail a berth fn
tlie end next the day coach. Mi. McCinnh ,
of .Moilis1 , was in Ihebcith opposite me. The
instant of thu shock ho .sprang liom the
berth and tan to the liont end ot the car , but
it was impossible to get out at Hint end. lor
that end had telescoped. Hu lushed
back and cilcd out : ' 'Come and help
mo savu these people who aio
being binned to death. " I had been awake
but a lew minutes butoie , and had looked at
my watch. It was 12:30 : o'clock. I had fol
lowed Mctiinnls in my sUwkluir led. He ran
faster than 1 , and when I came to the uuin-
ing coach he hi it taken two childion trom a
woman near the rear of thi * concli. She said
her iiatim was Sbeier , of Winona , and asked
him to save hoi cliildieii , tor their lather was

"We both tiled to lift the woman from the
car , but we could not , tor she was wedged In
beneath the bioken t-eat. A moment aftct

that most of Ihoso vrho perished weio killed

Not the lenht of the losses which the

seems likelv lo sustain is the litiiul in

danglilt-r of Fredeiiek William , crown
pi-moo of the German umpire , The
render who cures for romance need looK
no farther than thix case for what ho
seeks. It is an old story now , the story
of tlu > lirst meeting between these two ,
the subsequent ulVcction which both con
fessed anil the onposition ol the stern
German prince nml his still flternrr slro ,
the cinpuror. ConsUlRnitioiis of stnto
could not admit of tlio mnrrfaga
of this dark brewed prince to
the descendant of HO powerful n
hoiiso so long , nl toast , us tumoro nm-
bilions union was not improbable. Tiie.n.
cnnie the .Survo-Hnl ariiin vvur. however ,
itiul the handsome Hallcnbcrg went to
the front to win the admiration of the
world nnd lo further endear himself to
tlm wistful heart of the waiting prlncosa.
When ) ieicu : came upon honorable terms
to him the amiouiiwmjnt wns made that
the opposition of both tlio emperor nnd
crown prince had yielded lo tlio o I on mint
arguments of the Imndsoino hero ol tlio

it was said , under Iho happy supervision
of the prospective bride and her equally
Impp.y mnthor , the crown princess , who
hud secretly approved of iho match. The
unforced abdication of Alexander at the
instance of the c/.nr ilisiiTiui : es nil these
delightful plans und the n n noun coin nnt
now camuH that the two are to bo forced
