When the collision occurred the shrieks

dying filled the air for many minutes , and as
each novT corpse was dragged from the shat

from thousands
"I > ord have mercy on my poor soul , " cried
ono poor follow whoso life was ebbing out.
"Good Jesus , care forTommv , " ejaculated
a woman who was dj ing with a child at nor

A woman , whoso name Is unknown , lay on
thnsldoof the track suffering untold mental

All the undoitakers , phjslclnns and assist

Engineer Bill Whalcn , who lives hero and
was running the last section , explains the
accident thus. " 1 saw the signal on the

All the dead and injured have been taken

In an interview D S. Southcilanddistrict
superintendent of the Michigan Central

weather. As far as Mr. Soutlicrland had
hoard , only ten or twelve were killed and
about the same number injured.
All the wounded wcio taken to the com
pany's hospital at Jackson and were being
given all the euro and attention possible.
The wrecked trains were sections of the
Delaware Larkuwnnna & Westein , the ' 'Os-
yvego special , " loaded with people fromoities
along that lino'bound for Chicago. They
wore to have leached their destination at
4 oMock this afternoon.
Mr. Southetland received the following
message from the engineer at Jackson soon
after the wreck occurred : "Dr. North ,
Michigan Central surgeon says he know of
cloven killed and fourteen wounded. The
latter vvcro taken to the hospital. He did
not know how many moro there were , but
should say 11 vo or six. "
As soon ns possible Picsident Ledyard nnd
Henry Russell , general attorney , left for
Jackson on the regular train to direct affairs

The uninjuicd coaches of the first train
and the second train , with nil the passengers
who wcro unhurt and w ished to continue
the Journoj' , and some whose injuries were

William Whalon , the engineer of the en

to see an Associated Proas reporter toujght ,
to whom ho gave the following account of
the accident :
"Just cast of Jaelison Junction I turned on
the air brakes , and tlnding they worked all

found they did net work on the train al

HIGHLANDS OP NnvrtniVK. Oct. 13. Lord
Dunravon's earnest pr.ajcrs for a strong
blow have at lust been answered , and as the
icsult of today's race It must bo conceded
that his claim that his boat could win in u
wind was not welt founded
Since the failure to mnko a race on
Wednesday Iho earl had increased the
Yalkvrlo's ballast by placing an extra ton of
lead In her amidships. This had extended
the yacht's load line forty-slx-hundrcdths
of a foot , making her racing
length PI B7 feet with the losult that whereas -
as the Vigilant In previous races had allowed
her otic minute nml forty-eight seconds , to
day , with the additional weight and lower
sitting In the water she oulj allowed hcroue
minute and thirteen seconds
From .an c irlj her this morning there was
overv idcnco \ that vv hat every ono had been
wishing for would at last bo granted At
H.15 the wind at Sandy Hook was blowing at
the rat" of eighteen miles an hour , nnd bj'
11 o'clock it hnd increased to thlrtj miles
At the advertised time for tlio start , 11-25 ,
the YalKyrlo was not near thn lightships
and it was understood she had tnot with
seine accident The Judge's bjat signaled
that the race had been dclnvcd picsutnably
to allow the Valkyrie to tlx herself up
Fimtllv the starting gun \vns Hied ntlU 09
The Vigilant crossed the Hue about
a minute ahead of her ilvul. Both
jnehts started on the port tack
and a dead beat to windward. There
was a choppy o.i. Both bo its
weto sending spraj over their decks ,
but the Vnlkj tie did not appear to be as wet
as the American vessel The Vigilant for .1
time seemed to bo Incieastng her lead , and
then the two vessels went into the haze , the
Vigilant about an eighth of a milo ahead.
The wind was then about thirty miles an
hour from the southeast and freshening
every minute
At 1It ) , when they were next seen , the
Valkyi io led by about 200 yards They were
getting a good wind and stood
UP about allko. The cap continued
to gtow larger and at 2 8'1 thoVnlkyilo

CHICAGO , Oct 13 The Hall of Columbus
in the Art institute was crowded last oven'
ing with an audience eager to see and listen
to the words of Dr. Parkhurst , the eminent
Now York minister who cieated such a
fui ore some time ago in that city , lleiead
n compiuhenslvu paper on the subject of
"Tho Church and Municipal Govetnment , "
in whicli ho siid :
'Tho largo cities are the gangliac centers
of modem civilisation. Convert Chicago and
you will have all Illinois on the anxious seat
We say of cattle that they are tcregaiious ;
wo say of men that they have an urbann in
stinct. In these cities is whore the devil
makes his abiding place. If Christians and
the churches are not equal to the task of
routing the devil out of the cities there is no
use In pi.lying 'Thy kingdom come'on the
Fourth of July.
"You call it the problem of the devil. Now
every man who watches these tilings knows
that the man who speaks iirst is the political
manager , or tlio heeler , or the picsiding
genius of the groggery or the dive. The
saloon Is his citj- church and his munlcii > .i [
Sunday school. The church of Christ is no-
wheio and the city missionary gets loft
every blessed time. The uollticiau cares
moie for nis vote than ho cares for his soul.
"I have thought sometimes that if you
could taku one ot these seasoned old ward
politicians , thoroughly convert him to Jesus
Chi 1st , then establish a chair in ono of our
theological seminaries , ripping out some of
thu BtufT that is there now , a chair whoso
function It would be to teach unlledgod di
vines in methods of gaining an evangelical
gi ip on the community and then put your re-
geneiated and sanctified waul politician in
the chair , jou would bo on the verge of re
sults that would fleotiifj the countrj ,
"Kfllciont political method means every
man looked after. That is the way Tain-
manp wins , and 1 admiio her for it. Thcio
is no lumping in politics There aio no
masses to tlio man who la running for alder
man. The managing do not oiect their ren
dezvous on the backbone of the town , meet
at solemn and stated Intervals to pruy that
light may break upon the benighted citizens
ot the downtown vvaids. They do not pray
for the light to break ; they go und break it.
Kvery man is In the field to bo tilled.
"Now , If the church is going to fulfill its
obligations in this matter of a clean govqrn-
inent , it has got to go to work on these prin
ciples. Theie Is no fancy method and no
shortcut , It has got to como , too ; man lias
got to meet man. In older to accomplish
this reform wo shall bo obliged to push to
the fiont the muscular us well us the nerve
sldo of Christianity

Now Yoric In his vest pocket , A Chicago
audience docs not need to bo told that not u
gt eat while ago the governor of the state
pardoned a brace of criminals that hud been
convicted by due process ol law , and tnus
thrust ut the very vitals and existence of
government men who were convicted without -
out any peradventure or mistake. That is
to say the stale , through its ofllclal
head , informed the woild that there was
no difference worth remarking between wh'ut
is light and what U not right , between
loyalty and treason. Now that position is
Iho very own mother of all anarchy ; the
bread that anarchy fattens on. In New

"Men are afraid to try nnd bettor our
proxent evils. They have uot the courage
to stand boldly forth and denounce tbe
wrongs. If u man butts tits head against the
wall he may be able to do .something toward
weakening the wall , but it will bo certain to
give htm the headache. What is wanted U
tbo evangelized robustness that shall qualify
a man to face existing conditions ; to ex

The opening session was dinotcd to the
address of welcome on the pirt of the
Onmha union , and the response In bclulf of
the state oigntiization. Preceding those
were the dovotlon.il uMjrcises under the di
rection of HuvV Oliver of Heaver Ulty ,
Neb The address of welcome was de
livered by Hev. T. K Cr.unblet , pastor of
the First Clulstmn chinch of this city
After a few words of cordial fjipetlug
Hov. Ciamblel called attention to the
earnest work of the nine Omah.i
joung men who compose the committee
of 'I ) . ) , and to whoso untiring efforts
was largely duo the success of the conven
tion. It had been to them from the Hn > t .1
labor of love , and in their belulf ho bid them
welcome Ho also spoke of the encourage
ment and support which the society afforded
to ovoty pastor , and on beh-ilf of the pastors
of the city ho added another and a heaity
welcome. Continuing , the speaker said that
the twcnty-llvo societies in the local city
union oxpeoted trie.it things Irotn thcso dajs
of Christian fellowship , and thov desired to
welcome the convention because of the en
thusiasm which tiioy bcllovcd it would
create.
"We are glad to see jou , " ho cordlnllv.con-
Untied , "and to look Into jour faces'and '
think of jou as one united host. Ours is an
rfgo of co opeiation amt > wo are fast finding
out that this not only saves the power that
has herotofoio been lost bv faction , but at
the same time the capacity and power in
other lines are inci eased. Youri , is an or
ganization exemplifying the Chmtly spirit
in fellowship , in unity , in love. You pre
sent to us n forcible object lesson of how to
live in the spiiit of our Loid's prajor lor
unity in faith and def trine. It Is thrillingly
inspiring to look into your faces nnd know
that iour heaits am lojal to tlio same Lord ,
that.\ou aic true to. the same pledge , nnd
that under a common , iiaine , standing for all
that is puio and good , jou PIIJOV in the bonds
of Christian endeavor the most delightful
fellowship. " '
Mr. Scutt Itenpnmlod.
Rov. Harry Omtrr Scott of Hastings re
sponded on behalf of tilio delegates He said ,
in part , tli.it they u era delighted to bo the
recipients of such bountiful hospitality. Ho
hoped that the hospitality which would bo
extended to the < ipn > ention would consist
moj-o in the warmt/i / and grace of the ncait
than the more extravagant kind.
The afternoon meeting closed with a "free
pvrliameut , " Jed by President Alurc.li , on
"What Did You Con.o For } " s
The uvunniR session was.caHccl to order by
Rev. I * . P. Imc dun.of .Lincoln , who opened
with a brief song service anil praver by Uov.
Muchman of Grand IslanU. , The secretary
road a letter from the Piesbyterian sjnod of
Nooraska congratulating the union on the
occasion nnd proffering many good wishes
for its continued success ana pi asperity.
At this point a diversion oicuired which
was not down on the program. President
Murch had engaged Sit. Thomas Wainwright -
wright of Chicago , state superintendent of
Juniors for Illinois , to give an addiess on
Sunday afternoon. Mr. W.iinvv right had in
formed the picsident that his engagements
would prevent him from coming unless lie
loft Saturdaj' night and retinned to Chicago
immediately after the close of the meeting
Sunday afternoon. Ho at length consented
to come and his name was included iit the
printed list of .speakers.
Objected to Sunday Hides.
After the devotional service last night
C. 1C Powell of Lincoln called attention to
the mutter and offered a resolution that the
seei clary bo dliccted to telegraph Mr.
\Vainwright that if 1m could not attend the
convention without traveling on the Lord's
day they would dispense with his services.
A member Immediately proposed to lav the
resolution on the table , but it was defeated
bj' : i vote of 100 to 74 After some dtscm-
sion Mr. Powell's tcsolution was carried by
a large majority and Mr. Wainvvright's address -
dross will not bo lead before the Omaha
convention.
The address of the evening was to have
been delivered by llev. Sherman Kirk of
Fairbury , but ho was unable to bo present
and Rev. D. K. Duncan , president of the
Cotner university of Lincoln , was prevailed
upon to take his placo. The subject was ,
' Watchman , What of the Night ? " and this
Dr. Duncan made the theme of a most Inter
esting address.
"XV.Uclmmn , U'lmt of the Nlclit ? "
In introducing his subject the speaker said
there vveio two wajs of looking at every
subject. Ace was disposed to see the darker
colors , while .vouth usually looked at the
blighter aspect. Ho should try to take the
middle path and try and paint at once the
hopes and feats that presented themselves
to hU vision. It was as imperative to under
stand the enemy vVith whom they
had to contend as to know the
strength of their own foices. The
increase of the liquor traflle was one of the
greatest enemies tlfov had to contend with.
In spite of the fight Christianity was mak
ing , the amount of liquor used was con
stantly inci easing. Uiimu seemed to the
reader of the dally papers to bo dally glow
ing and vice was ciceplng into society
in a way scarcely to bo observed , but
nevertheless menacing , 1'oiltics , the party
nnd Individual scnrmbllng- position , was
one of the evils ttliyjt ) anust bo mot. 'Iho
dayhadcomo wiian'llib moral interests of
the rising generation , tlio betiorlnir of man
kind , must be regarded as moro important
than carrj Ing any man's party to success.
A stop must on put to tfto practice of tilling
the legislature witlrnfiai who did not know
enough to ahow ffCtac unless they had a
string tied to It. < ' * *
The ptoachers canfe.Jii for a share of the
speaker's criticism. MCJjoy were inclined to
bo vreitk and willowy where right nnd
wrong was conuoruwtoTliey were anxious
to to considered llbcc ud bioad-inindcd and
so catch the oar of tVu\multituJo at the ox-
pensoof their spirltttalvjiovolopniont.
In concluding Dr cQuucan spoke of the
soasous for hope nftofoh wore ptecvnt to
counterbalance the ? JwWs which hovered on
the spli itual liorW-cm.'i & 'lio spirit of educa
tion , which was cmflUntly gaining force
was one of the grcate B grounds for hope
In proportion , as J3 ' intellect was culti
vated , the mind rulcxPuio body and morality
succeeded bestially. Another ( glimpse oi
sunshine vva * the fact thut there was now
more ulblo reading than ever before ,
Such nicotines as the ono now In ptoijrcss
wore never heard ofthirty joarsago Re
vivals were partaking moro of tlio Pen
tecostal nature and there was a potent In
fluencjB at work which gave reason for hope
and rejoicing.
Will Unlto to rifflit Satan.
The increasing union sentiment also bodec
well for the advance of Christianity. Four
fifths of "the power" of the churches was
now wasted In sectailunism. The time was
coming when this would all bo done away
with and the denominations would unite to
fight the devil. "AH thU makes mo thin !
that I was born fifty j earn too soon , but
thank God that when I have laid down tin
sword , vou will still bo left , that vou wil
carry on the work and llvo to see it a sue
cess In your homos "
Ai the close of tba regular meeting the
