4 shocking railroad accident took plncc to-
day at Milton Junction, about eight miles
north Of this city, on the Chicago and North
western Railroad. From the casualty two
persons were instantly killed, and several
others seriously wounded. The occurrence
took place as follows:
The powerful engine Gladiator drawing a
heavy freight train, had run out upon tho
turnout to allow the northward bound pas-
scnger t1ain to pass. The latter arrived on
time and was waiting for trains due on the
Milwaukee and Pralrie DuChien Railroad,
intersecting at that point. It was standing
on the main track, its cars directly adjoining
the freight train, when suddenly the en-
gine of the latter exploded with
terrific violence, and with q report that was
heard for miles distant. Tho consequence Of
the explosion in it's Immediate vicinity were
appalling, nearly the whole force unhappily be-
ing directed towards the adjacent passenger
train. One of the cars was bust asnnder and
the air filed with its flying fragments. When
all things ore considered, and the effects Of
this explosion noted, It seems singular TINT
so little loss Of life aud harm to passengers
took place.
The victims Of the casualty were among
the passengers in the shattered car. They
were:
K111Ep-E!izabeth Foller; man, name un-
known.
WorSpEp-Mrs. Henry Simmons and child, Fort
Atkinson, Wis. :.
Mrs. Miner, Fond du Lac, Wis.
Mrs. NcGuffcy, Rockford, ILL.,.
-Griswold, Watcrtowu, Wis.
There were numerous miraculous escapes,
and many slight bruises received. No spe-
cia1 cauecs are given for the explosion.

The appearance Of young woman, about

siderable property In the vicinity Of New

maincd there several days. Ali this time she
was suffering from neuralgia In the face, and
