Gardner Station, awaiting the passage

Gardner Station, awaiting the passage
of the express.
The onset of the rapidly approach
ing trains was entirely beyond descrip-
tion in detail. The fierce and terrible
shock of the heavy locomotives caused
the cars Immediately in their rear to
threaten to close up like mammoth
telescopes. The instantaneous and
laundering crash which followed
created great mass of broken tim
bers, windows, doors, railings, floors,
baggage and freight, scattered at some
distance on either side of the track.
1t is marvellous, indeed, that single
life was saved from the ruin.
Many passengers came forward and
kindly volunteered their services in
relieving the injured, while others, to
their shame be it said, improved the
opportunity by stealing whatever they
could lay their hands on. The fol-
lowing record of casualties is believed
to be correct:
James Branch, brakesman on the
second-class car, was on the platform
at his post of duty, and was instantly
killed. His remains were mangled
almost beyond Identification. His
body was yesterday forwarded to Ell
wood, near Joliet, Illinois, where his
wife and family reside.
At the moment of the collision,
Porter G. Hathaway, the baggage
master, had just received his lighted
cigar from Mr.. Gurnee, news agent on
the train, who had asked for a. light.
They were separated from each other
distance of less than two feet.
Hathaway had several ribs broken,
and sustained such other serious
bruises and internal injuries that he
died about 10 o'clock yesterday morn
ing. His father resides at Clinton,
Michigan, but his own home was at
Rock Island Junction. He leaves a
wife to mourn his untimely decease.
It is understood his life was insured
for S5 900. ~
Frank Wilkins, Esq, English Con-
sui, whose residence is in st. Louis,
was stepping in the front part of the
same car,and sustained severe bruises,
but his wounds are not of serious
character. u4tle4 .s .e.
George Gurnee, the news agent. who
had just Lighted cigar, as above stat
ed, escaped almost miraculously from
fatal injuries, as, if he had not stood
well on one side of the car, his death
would have been certainty. As it
was, he received several bruises all
over his face and body.
Conductor Moulton, was likewise
considerably cut by the flying debris.
There were about - passengers in
the second class car, but none were
fatally injured. They were nearly all
Norwegians, who reside in Chicago,
and were going to the southern part
of the State to work on the road.
The freight in charge of the two
express companies mentioned, was en-
tirely destroyed, as was also the safe
of the United States Express Compa-
ny, reported TO contain, (besides other
valuable property, $4,000 in money.
The safe OF the Merchants Union
was saved The last mentioned com
pany had ninety packages of freight,

SCHENCK'S SEAWEED TONIC.

This medicine, invented by DR.. J. H
SCHENCK, of Philadelphia, is intended 10 dis.
solve the food and ma Ike ii into chyme, the first
process of digestion. By leansing the sto-
mach with Schenck's Mandrake Pills, the
Tonic soon restores the appetite, and food
that could not be eaten before using it will
be easily digested.
Consumption clnno; be cured by Schcnck's
PuImonc Syrup unless the stomach and iv.
er is made healthy and the appetite restored.
hence the Tonic and Pills are required in
nearly every case OF consumption. A half
dozen bottles of the SEAWEED TONIC and
three or four boxes of the MANDRAKE
PILLS will cure any ordinary case of dys-
pepsia.
DIR. ScHEsCK makes professional visits in
New York, Boston, and at his principal Or
fee in Philadelphia every week. See daily
papers of each place, or his pamphlet on con-
sumption for his days for visitation.
