The Latest Railway Disaster,

SOME TERRIBLE TALES OF SUFFERING.

Our telegraphic advices a few days ago

contained a brief account of the great rail way disaster near Kout, Indiana, as a re sult of which an entire train was wrecked, about thirty people killed and many wound- ed—some fatally. The engineer ‘of the ill-fated train tells the following story: ‘* We passed No. 49 at Boon Grove on time. No. 49 pulled out of the station in less than two minutes behind us,when it should have waited much longer. When we were well away from town we could see her lights a little way behind. We were not running very fast because we had broken an eccentric strap, and were running but One pair o! wheels, having been forced to disconnect the other pair, which were running loose. Of course the accident held the Sp ed down a little, but I had no idea the engineer of No. 49 would have any difficulty in keeping off our heels. The last time I looked behind there was ample room between us. We ped at Boon Grove water tank and were not there a minute before they struck us.

Several of the passengers have arrived at Chicago and have been interviewed by the reporters. One of them, W. A. Duncan, of Syracuse;*says that quite a nuuber » burned before his eyes. A little Bohemian bov hemmed in the wreck, saw his father, mother and two sisters roasted. The boy is dying. A doctor on the train saw his wife and daughter cremated while he was powerless to help.

One gentleman from Taunten, Mass., on his way home, says he was sitting in the first car asleep with his head ona satchel. He heard a frightful crash, and the car seemed to be shattered tu pieces. The next I knew, he says, I found myself al- most buried in the ruins. ‘They seemed to keep piling up. 1 tried to extricate myself and found | was near a window. Atl around were cries and groans. The bdlack- ness made it fearful. Ididn't seem to be hurt beyond a bad shaking up. I called for help out the window and some ma helped me out. I then helped to get others out. A little while after the whole thing took fire and we were forced to give up working bit by bit and let it burn. At one place there were two or three women al- together, and we tried to get them out. rhey were shrieking all the time in a man- ner to freeze one’s blood. | worked as long as I could, but could not get them out. |The tire came al] around them and finally | silenced their screams. To hear their des- |perate cries asthe fire came nearer and

stOp-

ere

| nearer and finally reaching them was simp- lly appalling. The wreck burned to the ‘trucks, there being no facilities to extin-

guish the fire. A carload of the injured were taken eastward in the forenoon. Among the wounded was Joseph Me- Coal, of Boston. His injuries are internal | but his recovery is possible. He says: “‘l was in the passenger coach next to the last car on the train. Just before midnight | |went into the smoker just ahead and ichatted for an hour. I came back to the }coach with a young man who sat near me. Just as I stretched myself to go to sleep, }and before | had closed my eyes, an awful ‘crash came. I could feel myself thrown violently forward to the top of the car, and then became insensible. On the way up | realized that all was confusion, canes, | valises and lamps were in the air about me.

i . . .

| I must have regained consciousness in a | ‘ y

| very short time. When I] awoke all was darkness in the car. The shrieks and

| piercing wails of agony almost deafened | one’s ears. In the end of the car from me a stove was overturned and the flames were just starting to spread. There was some sort of a new gas lamp in the car with reservoirs reaching one to the other, and the flames leaping up the sides, and in less (time than I can tell it, the gas was burning \the whole length of the car over our heads.

I was wedged in between the seats, and watched the fire slowly creep upon me. It

was a terrible sight. In the end of the coach near the fire | could see a lady caught between the seats, and as the fire crept across the car, she was soon enveloped, and then in agony burned before my eyes. Just across from iny seat I noticed shortly before the accident, a father, wife and daughter. J saw them crushed together and burned. Just as the flames were blazing a foot or two away from me, a man pulled me into | the aisle and said, ‘‘ Come to the window.” He must’ have mistaken me for some one else. Fora moment he looked closely ,at my face, and then dropped me, and hurried through the ‘window, with an expression | of disappointment. I painfully crawled | after him in safety.

The reporters have had considerable difficulty in getting at the bottom of the accident, owing to the secretiveness of the railway officials and "employes, who appear to have suddenly become deaf and dumb. i ee

The Journey of a Lunatic.

FROM ST. JOHN TO ST. STEPHEN, THENCE TO THE MIRAMICHI,

Charles Holmes, who escaped from the Lunatic Asylum a short time ago, by tear- ing up aplank in the yard and crawling out under the fence, arrived at his home on the Little Southwest about two weeks ago, says the Union Advocate. After his escape from the asylum he was tracked as far as St. Stephen, where® all traces of him were lost. Holmes lost his way and had evi- dently much difficulty in finding his way back home. He came by the Fredericton

road to Derby, where he tuok the Wil- liamstown. road for the Northwest. His methods of travel were very secret. He

would remain in the woods during the day and travel duringthe night. The only time he is reported to have been seen wason the Williamstown road in the dusk of the evening before the day on which he arrived home, when he took to the woods immedi- ately upon being observed. He seems to have been in constant dread of being recap- tured, and took every means to escape observation. While at home he remained in the house only during the night, and carried a sharp axe with him wherever he went. He would leave the house imme- diately aiter breakfast in the morning and go to the woods, where he would remain all day.

Aiter his arrival home word was sent to the authorities at the asylum, and last Wednesday keeper Cooper came up to Newcastle, and in the evening, accom- panied by two men from town, pro- ceeded up the Northwest to recapture Holmes. They went to his house early

in the morning. After a white Hoimes

made his appearance, coming down a ladder from a room above and carrying an axe with him, The men stood in waiting ready to capture him as he emerged from the door, but Holmes, who was constantly on his guard, caught sight of them sooner than they expected, and, turning quickly, re- treated up the ladder which he pulled up after him, and fastened down the hatch. wo hours elapsed before he again made bis appearance, coming down to get his breakfast, but not before being assured that no strangers were below. He © still carried the axe with him, which his brother tried to induce him to put down, but which he refused, raising it above hig head in a_ threatening manner. His brother then managed to get behind him and grab him by the arms, when the officers rushed in and seized him. fought

He was finally secured and brought to} town. On the way down a large sheath- knife was taken from his pocket. On

Friday he was taken back to the asyluin. Johi MeBride, who escaped from the asyliuni some weeks ago while at work in a fiel( convected with that institution, was tuken hick at the same time. In the asyluin tiolmes as said to be very quiet and doerle.

Pespotism. The despotism of the great powers, as manifested in their dealings with their smaller neighbors, was well illustrated in the recent altercation between Germany and Bulgaria. It will be recalled that a Rutichuk journal had charged a German vice-consul with improper conduct,to which it ascribed his recall. It appears that the statement of the newspaper was without foundation and, as soon as the real facts were known, an apology was published by the e lito Hit the German Government did not deem it advisable to let the matter end there. The scandals in connection with the vice-counsel had, itis true, been freely talked of before La Bulgarie printed them. The recantation followed as soon as they were authoratively declared to have no basis in fact. But unfortunately the newspaper was,as ifs name implies,an organ of the Bulgarian Government. It was the latter, indeed, that ordered the prompt in- sertion of the apology for the raslr indict- ment. Under ordinary circumstances,such an apology might have been thought a _ full atonement for whatever mischief might have been caused. But the German au- thorities determined to make an example of the petty state, only a few years released from serfdom,that had dared to insult their officers abroad. The German minister at Constantinople requested the Porte to allow a war ship to pass through the Dardanelles so as to insist on satisfaction from Bulgaria, In its humiliation, the Government of the principality went so far as to suppress the offending paper and prosecute the ‘editor, and Germany was only satisfied when the utmost self-abasement of which a state can be capable had been gone through by the Bulgarians. The incident makes two things clear. In the first place, it shows the utter sham of the so-called in- dependence of those small states which de- pend for their existence on the good will of the great powers. Inthe second place, it reveals the. cowardice of the latter which adopt a bullying tone towards a weak neighbor for an offence which, if committed by one of themselves, would be hardly taken notice of at all. An_ international court of appeal is needed for nothing more solely than for the protection of the smaller states. eee EE

| The Foreign Labor Question.

New York, Oct. 13.

' The Federal law against the importation

of foreign laborers under contract, is to be tested by a suit against the Church of Holy Trinity, which engaged Rev. E. Walpole Warren of England, as rector. Rev. Mr. ‘Warren came here on Sept. 25th. John 8, Kennedy, President of St. Andrews Society, is much interested in the case. A Scotch farmer named Cummings, who was not permitted to carry out in this country a contract entered into in Scotland, immedi- ately began cerrespondence with the Trea- sury Department, claiming that the legal aspects of the Cummings cases were much

alike, and arguing that action be \taken against the clergyman. Assistant- |Secretary Maynard replied that the

Secretary bad no authority to arrest and return an alien of~prohibited class who had been permitted to land, but that the Alien Act makes it the duty of the District At- torney of the district in which the Act was violated to prosecute a person, partnership company or corporation violating the same, United States District Attorney Walker therefore decided to prosecute the suit for $1,000 penalty against the Church of the Holy Trinity.
