A Number of Persons Injured, One Fatal
Iy, in Crush the Wabas..
ST. LOUIS, Mo-, Jan. 20.-When the
sOuth-bOund Wabash train from Toledo
was about four miles from here yesterday
morning it struck a defective rail. The
train was proceeding slowly and this pre-
vented the great loss of life which
would undoubtedly have occurred had the
train been proceeding at the usual speed.
AS it was the baggage-car and smoker
jumped the track and rolled into the
ditch fifteen feet below. Conductor Ba4lou,
Baggageman Hassett and Express MesSen-
ger j. }. Mattlock were in the baggage-caI
and were badly injured. Dir. MattlOck was
thrown against the safe, which fell on
him, and he is believed to be fatally hurt.
The sleeper was filled with passengers
and terrible panic occurred. The
sOmersault which the car described
hurled the fire from the stove
about the car, which caught fire. The
shouts and cries of the wounded could be
heard in the other coaches, and the passen-
gers turned out and formed a rescuing par
ty. The wounded were hauled out of the
wreck as fast as possible and placed in the
sleeper. The thermometer was at zero and
the suffering was intense. All we're
brought to this city and distributed in the
various hospitals.

slight earthquake shocks were reported
at various points in the Garlic Alps. Then
there wasaanxiety in Klagenfurt, not mere

ton of the mountains would start
an avalanche that might wreck the old his

shippers were on their way to the cathedral,
heavy rumbing was heard far up the
mountains. a glance upward from the city
saw the snOw-clad surface in billOwy mo
