freight train collided with the South
bound express passenger train, al
most entirely wrecking the latter
killing six persons outright, and
fearfully iniuring thirty 9th
ers, many of whom will die. Mum
bers were injured by being burned
badly. Others were scalded by
hot water from the locomotive BOZ
lers. Surgeons have been sent for to
go to the wrecked train. 1t is i'm
possible to give full particulars at
present. Among those dangerous
ly injured is Hon, J. w. Smith,
Warden of the Illinois State Pen
itentiary.
A subsequent dispatch gives the
number of killed II, and wounded
30. No SOutherners among them.
The blame is said to attach to the
engineer and conductor Of the coal
train, who moved contrary to the
regulations. Both have disappear
