MISSISSIPPI RIVER IMPROVEMENT.
what senator Plumb Thinks VIII be
the Outcome OF the Present Discus

WAsHISGroN, January IL. = Senator
Plumb believes the discussion OF Missis-
sippi river improvement will finally result
in building levees, and If levees are built,
they can only be maintained in one way,
namely, by traversing them by railroad.
1t is capable of demonstration that rail-
road can be built along the bank OF the
river, and he believed that this method
will prove the only practicable one of
keeping the levees in repair. The rail-
road would, at the same time, greatly in
crease the transportation facilities OF the
Mississippi Valley.

CHICAGO, ILL, May 6.
An almost impenetrable fog prevailed
over the southern part of this city yester-
day morning. The Chicago and Eastern
Illinois suburban train left Auburn with
passengers coming into the city. A stop
was made at South Englewood.
Just as it was pulling out, a heavy loco
motive of the Grand Trunk Road, which
enters the city over the same tracks,
plunged into the rear of the passenger
train, splitting the last car and telescop-
ing the other two, pinning the passen-
gers in the broken tmbers and flooding
the interior with steam from the
engine boiler. Two persons were proba-
bly, fatally and about twenty others seri-
ously injured.
Following is list of the injured:
Henry Wilson, engineer of the passen-
ger train, cut about the breast and face,
two ribs broken.
John Carroll, Englewood, ribs broken.

about head and body.
A man named Williams, leg broken.
