Special Telegram to the Globe.
CHICAGO, Oct. 29.-At 5:45 O'Clock last
evening the outbound passenger train OF
the Chicago, Milwaukee & st. Paul met
with an accident while rushing past Ada
STREET crossing, at the other side of which
there was switch. It was only half an
inch out of the way, but that was enough
to throw the engine. baggage car and two
passenger coaches from the track. They
crashed into a stone wall, about 100 feet OF
which was thrown down. The fireman,
Mike Hogan, jumped cut among
the flying bricks and was severely
injured about the head, The passengers
were badly shaken, and quite panic en-
sued. The damages to the engine and
cars will not amount to much. The wall
was cat down as clean as if hit by cy-
clone, and the bricks were thrown dis
tance of several hundred feet, T'he rail-
way officials are unable to explain how the
switch was moved out of place.
DYNAMITE EXPLOSION.
CONFLUENCE, Pa, Oct. pa terrible
disaster occurred near Brooks tunnel on
the Baltimore G. Ohio railroad yesterday
morning about 9 O'Clock, resulting in the
instant death of five men. The railroad
company have been Strengthening and
widening the tunnel and some distance
outside magazine had been erected in
which was stored twelve hundred pounds of
dynamite to be used for blasting. About
the hour named freight train had just
passed through tbs tunnel and was side
tracked TO ALLOW passenger train over due
TO pass. Four of the crew walked back
10 the vicinity of the magazine,
and were engaged in conversation
with the watchmgn when people
living IN the vicinity were startled by
terrible conclusion. Houses for fifteen
miles around were shaken to the founda-
ton, and windows TO distance of seven
miles were shattered. Horror stricken the
people ran from the houses and on inves-
tigation it was found the dynamite had ex-
ploded with fearful effect. Everything in
the vicinity gave evidence of the terrific
force of the explosion. Trees were up
rooted, huge rocks torn asunder, and tele-
graph poles for a half mile prostratea.
Nothing remained of the magazine, while
the five men who were present were miss
ing. It is thought they have all been
killed. Portions of bodies, legs, arms,
hands and heads have been picked q o half
a mile distant, but they were SO bsdly
dIsfgured as to be unacceptable. The
rames cf only three of the victims are
known, they were Engineer George Rey-
nolds, Brakeman Tlcs and Watchman
Hammond. The cause of the explosion is
enshrouded in mystery, and as the five
men who might have thrown some
light on the. affair are dead, it is quite
probable that il will never be known. Not
far from tie accident, & gun was found,
and it Is supposed one OF the victims dis
charged it, the concus5ion causing the
dynamite to explode. An inquest was
held by the coroner to day and verdict
Of accidental death rendered. Great excite |
ment prevails here, and hundreds have
gone to the scene OF the disaster.
The names Of the unfortunate men are
as follows: George Reynolds, engineer, of
Confluence, Pa; Charles Tice, fagman,
Confluence, Pa; Robert Hammond, watch
