scoped the forward cars OF the
passenger train into the four fore
most coaches; the fifth was not
materially damaged, and the sixth
even less. The sleeping cars were
uniniured, and some of the occu-
pants of the Grand Rapids sleepers,
which were the last in the train,
were not aware until they woke mp
at s o'clock yesterday norsing that
anything unusual had occurred.
AS the two locomotives met, the
force of the contact lifted them
upward. That of the passenger
train being the heavier and having
the more momentum, turned the
other completely round. Both en-
gines fell close together ana side
by side upon the cutting to the
north. Both lay at an acute an
gle to the track, bending northwest
and completely stripped OF their
Jackets" and every out ward at
tachment.
The freight cars became uncoupl-
ed and the force Of the collision sent
them flying down the main track
westward toward Jackson junction,
and although there was a brake
man on the cars, he could not
check their extraordinary speed
until they had arrived nearly at
the city station.
The list of killed is as follows !:

A Dreadful Collision.

We CLEAN the following from the
Free Press, in regard to the fright
full accident on the Michigan Gen.
trail near jackson, on Friday last !:
Short after o'clock yesterday
morning, or, to be exact, at about
LOS a. m, the Pacific express train
upon the Michigan Central Rail-
road, consisting Of the locomotive,
two baggage, mail and express
cars, six passengers coaches and
six sleeping cars, collided with a
switching engine and nine freight
cars near Jackson junction and o
little over two miles east of the
jackson City station. BY the sad
affair fifteen persons were killed
outright and twenty-nine were
wounded.
No. 80 had run in from Grass
Lake upon the time Of the Pacific
in accordance with the orders Of
the train dispatcher. The cars Of
No. 80, after its arrival at jackson,
are made mp into other freight
trains, which are sfterward dis
patched westward. Upon the
Eastern division Of the road the
freight trains ordinarily consist
Of thirty-five to fifty cars. The
division west of Jackson, having
heavier grades, necessitates lighter
trains, and therefore from twenty
to thirty freight cars is thought
sufficient load for the trains upon
that division.
When train No. 80 arrived a,
jackson It was placed on the
"switch track" upon the north side
} and switching engine No. %, il
, charge OF Engineer Robert r
, Jones and Yard-master Colwell
proceeded to divide it and max,
up the cars into other trains.
In obedience to the order o
Colwell, but, as he claims, agains
J his judgment, Jones coupled upoi
3 nine cars including caboose, ant
. proceeded to draw them upon tn
main track "No g." as illustrate,
!, . above. Engineer Jones, with Nc
0 20, had no more than cleared tn
9 switch with bis nine cars when b
Q saw the headlight Of the Pacifi
3 Express cleaning down upon hin
3 He had stopped, but before b
5 could back the passenger train ha
2 2 struck. Jones and bis firema
9 jumped, and by scrambling up th
q high bank to the south escaped m
y hurt.
No. so fortunate were Enginee
" Gilbert and Fireman Smith, of Oh
9 Pacific. All unconscious Of dsr
s ger, and probably thinking tn

. light, they were killed, maDgled I

cilities would admit, but Tins one
establishment proved far inadequate
to supply the demand, and the con-
sequence was that many were OBJ
liged to go hungry or make trip
to the city.

deserving much praise.
Among the business firms who
had displays, may be mentioned
Johnson Hamilton, stoves; f. 3.

etc.; Robert Stone, sewing ma

All the above firms made good
displays of their various goods.
There was one very important
item that seemed to have been en-
tirely neglected; and that was the
furnishing of drinking water for
the thirsty. There was no water
provided, and the only available
means to quench the thirst was by
visiting a spring at the bank of the
river, which soon became unpala-
table, owing to its shallowness and
frequent "stirring up"
There was also considerable fault
found with the manner in which
the tickets were issued, having
coupons instead of being good fol

SEIZURE knew it. Hayes knew it.
The writer of this article united
with others in appeals by telegraph
TO Washington for succor and re-
lief to these brave friends OF our
people, and assurances were given
that that succor should come. Carl
Schurz meant we'll. He had tried
TO do. but could not. He does not
understand the Indian question.
He is constantly deceived. These
Indian thieves would deceive Deity
himself. Matters evidently went
ON from bad to worse. The griev-
ances of the Utes were despised.
AT all events they were not re-
dressed, and on the heels OF per-
sonal visit of Mr.. Schurz to their
country, from which he returned
week or ten days ago with the
soothing words mo trouble with
the Utes, the disaster to Thorn
burg, the death of that splendid
man, and the more than possible
slaughter of his entire command,
comes to shock the whole country.
Language utterly fails us to ex-
press the sorrow and indignation
we feel over this dreadful affair in
which the blood of the brave and
the innocent stains every hand that
controls the Indian civil service.
These occurrences are so current
that the press OF the country is al
most unanimous in the condemna-
ton of the Indian policy business,
which seems to be for the express
purpose of allowing the Indians to
be robbed of their just dues, and
as a final result, when the red mel
are driven to the very brink Of
starvation, the climax is capped by
some monster calamity, such as the
disasters just reported. The Indi'
ans have been driven and robbed
by dishonest agents, until they are
now brought to q position where
they must fight or starve, and they
chose the latter. For their action
very few, if any, can blame them.

Indian Troubles.

In speaking of the late terrible
butchery by the Ute Indians, the
Omaha Herald, edited by gentle
man who has thorough knowledge
of the Indian question, comments as
follows on the last disaster:
The death of poor Thornburg is
the saddest thing which it has been
our duty to chronicle in years.
His was O brave and generous
spirit, and his death will be most
keenly lamented here, in Omaha
and the west, where he was so well
known and beloved. He fell at the
head of his troops, adding one more
to the long list of victims Of the
monstrous infamies Of Indian
wrongs and robbery. Thieves and
vagabonds torture Indians into
war, and the army, inadequate in
numbers, is ordered to become tar
gets for savagery. 1t is the old,
old story, and such is the damna-
BILE lower deep into which knavery
and imbecility have plunged the
Indian service, and such is the power
of the banded brigands, who con-
troll it, that this infamous system is
perpetuated in spite of every in
telligent protest that can be made
to arrest and overthrow it.
Let Senator Alvin Saunders read
the truth, written all over this
question in the blood Of the Thorn
burgs, to which he refused to listen
when, deaf to all appeal, he re-
fused to break up this rotten sys-
tenn of death-breading Indian bus
mess. How does it strike him Z
What devilish spirit got hold of
him that he went to the extreme
of changing his known position in
the senate and opposed the trans
fer of these Indians to the custody
of the army, the only change that
was ever possible whereby these
wrongs upon the red men and the
cruel consequences to white men
could be stoppedf
Over the remains Of tho dead
heroes at Milk river and the MEM
cries of Fetterman, the Rosebud
and Little Big Horn, we arraign
and denounce the men in congress
who labored so hard and lied so
much that these crimes upon the
country, upon the army and upon
human nature are allowed to &c
on. Let US not withhold a word
that can express the indignation
all must feel over the latest sacri.
fee of precious life that has beer
made, that thieves and villains, o.
high and low degree, may riot and
grow rich in robbing the bes'
J friends white men ever had on thes,
, borders. Such friends were tn,
, Utes. True to the fidelity at al
times, they became friendly to N
, many years ago. They never vic
lated their faith. Driven from

} were not swiDdled out of them
