There was a heafl-cnd collision between
two freight trains , one an extra anil the
other a regular , on the Chicago , Rock Inland
& Pacific railroad near the old Chautauqua
grounds , about three miles east of Council
Bluffs at 6:30 : Tuesday morning. It resulted
In the killing of three persons , one engineer
and two firemen. The dead are :
J. W. TAYLOU , engineer on extra freight
train.
JOHN STONE , flreman onextra freight
train.
JOHN CALDWBL/L , flreman on regular
freight train , No. EC.
All three of the men killed lived at Val
ley Junction. The wreck occuned about
125 yards west of the Rock Island switch ,
where the extra freight which was In charge
of Conductor J. Hanlfen should have side
tracked to allow the regular freight going
cast to pass. The extra freight through
sorao mistake or neglect of train orders
failed to sidetrack , and the result
was that the two trains como
together , with terrible force. The cxtrfc
freight being the her.vler of the two , forced
the regular back a'oout forty or fifty yards.
Neither of the two engines left the track ,
but the tenders of both Tvore forced back
on the cars behind and the cabs forced
beneath the tenders. Doth engines wcro
badly wrecked and two box cars of the reg
ular freight were thrown from their trucks
Into the ditch.
Johnion Snvc III * Life.
The regular freight was In charge of
Conductor M. Drew and Engineer Murray
Johnson. Johnson , when ho saw that a col
lision was inevitable , after reversing his
engine , jumped from the loft side of the
cab and managed to escape with but a few
slight brulsoi. His flreman , John Caldwell ,
also jumped , but In some manner was
etruok by one of the cars of hla own train
and his neek was broken.
Engineer Taylor of the extra was pinned
down In his cab under tbo tender. He was
badly < mished about the abdomen and lower
portion's of the body ; he was also somewhat
scalded about the upper portions of his
body. It was a couple of hours before he
could bo extricated.
John Stone , the flreman , was wedged In
between the cab and the tender. His head
was badly crushed end his right cheek was
torn open. His loft arm was torn off at the
shoulder and In addition to being badly
scalded , bis left thigh was almost cut off.
His death was evidently Instantaneous.
The Rock Island passenger No. 5 came
In over the Milwaukee tracks. j
Forwot Abont the Order * . 1
Engineer Taylor , although terribly I
crushed and mangled about the lower por- '
tlon of hla body , rcalned consciousness until .
ho was taken out , but died before he could
bo placed In the car to be taken to Council
Bluffs. His Injuries had evidently numbed
the lower limbs and he did not realize how
badly he was hurt. In answer to questions
of those Nho were working to extricate
htm , he replied that he guessed he was
all right , that only one of his legs seemed
injured ; he thought ho would pull through
all right. To some of the men working
round him ho Is said to have stated that
the blame for the collision was hie ; that
he had order * to look out for all , regular
train * , but bad forgotten all about No. 56.
Taylor was a married man , 35 years of age
and leaves a wife and daughter , & years
of ago.
Fireman Caldwell of the regular freight
was 24 years of age and leaves a wife and
child.
a 4-year-old
Fireman John Stone of the extra freight
had only been with the road about two
months and little Is known about him at
this end of the line.
Head Brakeman Bert Reynolds of the
regular freight had a narrow escape. He
was on the top of the forward car of his
train and went with It Into the ditch , but
as It turned over ho was thrown out of the
way and managed to escape with nothing
tnoro serious than a few bruises.
Charles Gould , one of the brakeman on
the extra , was thrown through a window
of the cab and received Injuries to his
boulders , which , however , are not serious.
Coroner Treynor Impaneled th * follow
ing Jury : Frank Levlne , H. O. McOeo nnd
W. S. Homer. The Inquest will bo held
this morning at 9 o'clock. .
Local officials * of the Rock Island say
that the regular freight train castbound
had the right of way and that the extra
should have sidetracked at the Chautauqua
switch. Conductor Hanlfen , who was In
charge of the extra , could not bo seen
afle'r the collision.
GROUND FOR FREIGHT DEPOT
llllnoltt Central llnllrond Company
Acquire * n tllnck of Grantid
Formerly Occupied l > > - Cixly.
For pome tlmo past Robert Stuart of Chicago
cage has been , buying up property in block
13 , Kouutzo & Ruth's addition. It is in
this block that the Cady Lumber company's
> ards are and In December the site occupied
by the yards was bought by Mr. Stuart.
The purpose of his purchases has now been
made public.
A well known business man , who hat
been on the Insideof the deal , admitted
that Stuart has been merely the instrument
through which iho Illinois Central Railroad
company It rapidly acquiring the block.
Practically the Cady Lumber company Is
authority for this itself. Little by little
the block has been acquired until only a
third of it remains.
Since the purchase of the Cady com
pany's tract , consisting of the southern
twelve lots , the railroad company has
bought six of the sixteen lots north of the
lumber yards , 'they are lots 1 , 5 , 8 , 9 , 13
nd 16 and. as can be seen , arc more or
les scattered.
It Is understood that the object of buying
this property Is to secure a site for a
freight depot and yards. The Illinois Cen
tral will use the Union Pacific depot for Its
passenger business , but needs a 'block ' of
real estate for Ita-frelght business.
The streets bounding the block mentioned
are Mason , , Eighteenth-Pierce and Seven
teenth. The Union Pacific tracks run
along the southeast corner.
SALE OF THE ALTON HOAD IS OFF.
Wonld-Be Seller * tlnnlilc to Deliver a
Controlling Interest.
CHICAGO , Jan. 10. The Post today says :
The latest deal In connection with the much
talked of sale ot the Alton road has fallen
through. Under ( he terms arranged with the
Vanderbllt-Rockefeller syndicate tbo time al
lowed for the delivery of the majority of the
stock has expired , but the would-bo sellers
failed to secure .control of a majority and
were therefore unable to make delivery.
The road Is not sold and Is not likely to be.
The offer mode by the syndicate for a ma
jority ot the stock was a tempting one. It
was 175 for common and 2JO ( for preferred ,

The City Passenger association held its
regular meeting .and the usual amount of
routine business was transacted. The mem
bers seem 'to ' be living In peace and unity at
present , and * ( or that reason there were no
charges of wrongdoing laid at the doors of
any of the city offices. i
President Hurt and General Solicitor

\o Double Wedding Ceremony.
GRAFTON. Neb. . Jan. 10. To the Editor
of The Bee : In an article contained in The
Sunday Bee under the heading ot "Connubl-
1 alltles" it Is stated , relative to Madame
Pattl's approaching marriage , that a double
I religious ceremonial is to be conducted. I
was very much surprised at the statement
and wondered exceedingly how such a thing
I could be under the laws ot the Catholic
church. I find that the statement 1n The
Sunday Bee Is not correct , as Is evident from
the following "letter " of Right Rev. Francis
Mostyn , Catholic bishop of Menevla , to the
London Dallv News :
I "Sir Mv attention has been called to a
| statement mode in several of the London
papers to the effect that at the approaching
weddlns of Madame Pattl-Nlcollni to Baron
Cederetrom there will be a Protestant as
well as a Catholic marriage ceremony. As
bishop of the Catholic diocese in which
Madam * Pattl-Nlcollni resides may I ask
you to contradict this statement. Such
doable ceremony , being contrary to the disci
pline of the Catholic church , could not be
allowed and I am authorized by Madame
Pattl-Nlcollni to state that , as a matter of
fact , at her wedding there will be none other
than a Catholic marriage ceremony. "
By Inserting the above you will not only
much obltgo the undersigned , but relieve the
wondering minds of all Catholics who have
read the article In the Sunday Bee. I am
yours very truly. D. FITZGERALD ,
Pastor of St. Helena's Church.

The Houglitnn CHRP.
OMAHA. Jan. 10. To the Editor of The
Bee : I have felt the heavy hand ot Police
Judge Gordon and feel that some of his in
justice should be shown up.
Last September the two young children of
Bob Houarhton were playing In my yard and
swinging on the gate. I told them to get oil
or I would make them. They went home
crying and told their father I had struck
them. He came up to the. house and used
very foul language and I told him If ho
called me such name * again , I would slap
him. He at once repeated the foul epithets
nnd I started toward him with my hand up-
Hfted and he reached out and struck mo in
the mouth. The brutal coward was not sat
isfied with that , but struck me several times ,
knocking me down and beating me like n dog.
He had to be pulled away before he would
stop. Complaint was made at Judge Gor
don's court. He beard the evidence and
continued the case for thirty days. At the
end of thirty days I went to the court to see
what he was going to do , nnd he put It over
for another thirty day § and at the end of
that time I went back again to the court and
he dismissed the case. Bob Houghton Is a
eort of a ward-heeler and is under the protec
tion of some local politicians and tt was
through their effort ! ) that he was released ,

FOLLOWS ERRING DAUGHTER
Mian Holme * of Lincoln Placed In a
Home at Omahn , bnt Disappears )
Presumably llnrlng ; Left City.
The police have been working upon a cose
In which Agnes Holmes of Lincoln and
Charles Clark , a student In one ot the
universities of that city , are Interested , Miss
Holmes Is now missing and is supposed to
bavo gene to Htllsdale , where Clark has
some relatives.
The story Is short , but pathetic , because
the girl is only 16 years of ac . According
to the details related to the police , here ,
Clnrk was boarding with the Holmes in
Lincoln while alter ling school. During his
leisure hours ho assisted Mies Holmes In
getting her lessons. The parents paid lit
tle attention to them until Clark left and
went to work at the Boyd hotel. On De
cember 11 ho suddenly left the city. It
was then that the parents learned ot their
daughter's unfortunate condition. They de
sired to save her from undue notoriety , and
arranged to keep even a hint ot their trou
ble from their neighbors. Mrs. Holmes
brought her daughter to Omaha and stopped
at 318 North Fifteenth street. Suddenly
her 'daughter disappeared , however , taking
$6 in cash belonging to her mother as means
to assist her In traveling. She Is said to
have gone to Hlllsdale , and her mother fol
lowed her to that point. She Is quoted as
having stated that If Clark is found there
she will take steps to compel him , to marry
her daughter.

It's no use to fret and stew about the weather. The
weather man is doing the best ho can under the cir
cumstances. There's lots of cold weather to contend
with before the winter is over and it's your duly to
be ready when Mr. Blizzard comes to give him a kind
ly greeting. Laugh at him ho may try to cut you
cold , but never mind that. Stand up boldly and re
ceive him with open arms. Say to him "you can't
touch me , Mr. Blizzard no you can't. I'm all pre
pared for you yes , I am. I just bought a brand new
ulster overcoat. Now freeze me , Mr. Blizzard , if you
can. " They come high in the collar and low in price
you buy Nebraska ulsters is rny advice long in
length , short in price , wide in width , great ingood
ness and a wonder in worth. These are days when
clothing needs to be extra warm. Lots of ulsters and
storm coats are passing into active service. Beware
of the grip the kind that settles in your head and
the kind that some stores get on your pocketbook.
We know of stores who refuse to return money after
customers are dissatisfied. Not so here. Your
money back if some other store makes you believe he
can do better by you. Good warm overcoats start at
3.75 and up. Watch for our Saturday ad.
