Ashtabula telegraph. (Ashtabula, Ohio) 1874-1880, 1874-03-07


A terrible accIdou, occdrreu On Satur-
day night last, on the Great Western road
about miles west of London, in which
no less than ten persons lost their lives
and some twenty were more or less Sc
verely injured The accident occurred
while the train was going west. A burn
| ing lamp in the water clOset at the forward
end of the car tell, setting fire to the car,
the last OF the train. The panic increased
by the fact that pulling the bell rope fail
ed to stop the train. For a distance OF
over two miles, the passengers, one after
another, jumped off, and were in many
instances badly MANNED and mutilated,
while Others escaped with comparatively
slight injuries By the time the train
stopped, it was discovered that no less
than seven charred bodies lay in the
midst of the burning remains of the
car. Several were SO badly burned
that they could not be removed to their
homes, though still alive. Others have
been crippled for life, while few are suf-
fering from internal injuries. Seized
with panic the passengers rushed to the
door at the rear of the car, and caused a
Jam rendering escape more difficult until
the smoke strangled them. A few escap-
ed by the windows, and fell by the side
of the track. The train ran al about 80
miles per hour, and went 8 miles after
the car was in blaze. The Car was al
most wholly consumed in six minutes,
burning like Under. The killed and
wounded were Canadian residents.

columns, contained an error or two which
have been corrected by Mr.. Thos. NJ.
Benham. He says that instead of arriving
in 1903, as stated, he reached Ashtabula
in 1911, and Samuel, his son, had three
sons and three daughters-One more child
than was given him by our correspond
ent-otherwise, the statement was strictly
true, in reference to the Benhams.

Wichita.

Last week NC visited Wichita, tho
wonder o. the Southwest. PIP miles
south of Atchison. Its now a plac,
OF some 5000 inhabitants; has some
good business. dwelling and banking
houses, and OF the finest hotels in the
state-and all this is the growth Of
four or five years.
Wichita stands on very level piece
of bottom land. on the north side OF
the Arkansas river. aud not more than
five or six feet above the level Of the
river. One would suppose that the
town would be in danger Of overflow
but we were told that the river never
gets out of its banks, as the soil i,
very sandy and porous, and the water
soaks through il.
Although Wichita has been advcr.
tised rs lively place. we found livery
quiet and dull, and the people were
complaining thereof. We found not SO
much stir and activity there a ha,
been here in Troy every day for &
month past And SO far a. we could
notice the towns along the road, Troy
is certainly As lively rs amy OF them.
The country along the road A., I
& >. F. from here to Wichita is very
beautiful To behold. Ii is mostly prai-
RE. too much so, IN fact and in appear
ance as fine as any we have ever seen.
Il is beautiful around Wichita. North
and cast Of town. along Chisholm creek
IL is very beautiful. ank fine farms are
being opened there. and orchards put
out. In a few years that beautiful
prairie viii be blosSoming as the rose
and amply rewarding the tolls and pri-
vations now being undergone by the
settlers. The soil is light, porous and
sandy just such as We always thought
good for iruit, corn aud wheat, aud we
were told by some that the finest corn
they had ever seen had been raised
there. Wheat is worth there now what
It is here Apples, s1.25 per bushel
Corn is toe scarce to have standard
yalue. That vicinity suffered very
much from the grasshoppers. and there
is much restitution in Wichita and vi
cinity, Those in Wichita who are able
have been doing very much by way OF
aid, but the city and county will need
help from outside. Those who desire,
can send aid to Mrs. b. II. Fisher, pre-
sident of the Wichita relief society.
If we had the room we could make
this article much longer. but we will
conclude by saving that If any of oUI
citizens get the blues over Troy and
dull times, Just let them take trip to
other places, and Wen warrent they'll
come back coutenied. That's the way
we feel when we go away and return
to Troy. It's about the best little town
we know of. and has about as much
life and stir as any of them. Our friend
Joe UT. now travelling tor house in
Atchisou. says that Troy aud Concor-
dia are the two % the best towns he
visits Tog Republican.

Relief Bill.

We have been asked a nuni5er Of
time. our understanding of the bi.l
"for the relief of certain settlers on
public lands" The first section pro-
vides that it shall be lawful for home
stead and pre-cmption settlers on the
public lands, whose crops were des-
troyed or seriously Injured by grass
hoppers in fhe year 1879, to leave and
be absent from said lands until July !.
1875. under such regulations as to
proof of the same as tho commissions
err OF the general land Office mag pre-,
scribe: and where such grasshoppers
shall reappear in 1875, to the like de-
struc,ion of the crops of the settlers.
the right 10 leave and be absent as
aforesaid shall continue TO July /, 1875
The second section provides that
during such absence no adverse rights
shall attach to such lands. but the set
tiers are allowed TO resume and per.
feet their settlements as though nc
such absence had been allowed.
The third section extends the time
for making final proof and payment
by pre-enptors, whose crops have
been destroyed or injured, for one
year after the expiration of the term
of absence provided for in the firsl
section.
And we further understand chat thi.
bill does not apply to the settlers OF
the Usage lands and the Cherokee
strip. We ihiml; it a very great mis-
take and in fact very grave one for {
great number OF our people. Yet ef
forts win be made to have it so amend
ed as to reach that class Of settler.
