New YORK, Jan. 30-Some time time ag:
Gen Fry, in an article for periodical, said
that Gen. Sherman had made the remark
that if Gen c. F. Smith had lived Grant
would have disappeared from history This
statement was declared by Gen
Sherman to he untrue, and he added that i,
would have been impossible for him to have
said the words Gen. Fry writes to The Post

which he says is a fac simile of the original.

CRASHED INTO THE REAR.
FrightfuI Railroad Collision in Ohio
Four Men Killed and Several Injured.

TIFFIN, Ohio, Jan 3N-At 12:45 O'Clock
Friday morning, as the west bound express
train on the Baltimore & Ohio railroad was
speeding along at the rate of about forty
miles an hour, it ran into the rear of
freight train, also west bound, about a mile
west of Chicago junction. A terrific crash
followed, and the engine of the passenger
train, the baggage car, two passenger
coaches and about dozen freight cars rolled
into the ditch. a confused mass of ruins L.
Vandelier, fireman of the passenger train,
was found under the engine, killed and
mangled almost beyond recognition; Charles
Bristol, engineer of the passenger train,
Conductor Palmer of the freight train, and
Thomas Freely, a freight train brakeman,
were dug out of the ruins in Il horribly
mangled condition, and have since died. A
number of passengers were badly injured,
and some of them will probably die. Their
names could not be learned. The Baltimore
& Ohio officials are very reticent about the
affair, and particulars arc hard to obtain
The accident was caused by the freight con
ductor's failure to display his danger signal
on the rear of the train. The loss to the
railroad company is S25,00O

JOLIET, Ills, Jan. 3O-Considerable ex-
citement prevailed here Friday over the dis
missal by the city attorney of the cases
against the members of the Salvation Army
arrested Thursday night on the charge of
violating the ordinance in relation to bois-
ferrous conduct and obstructing the streets.
They have bean repeatedly arrested,
but despite the orders of the author
tiles to stop, they appear on the streets
every night and repeat their demonstra-
tions The city attorney refuses to prose
cate the army any further, and
the Mayor has called special
meeting of the council to determine
whether he the mayor should be
sustained or the ordinance repealed The
city is Catholic, the mayor and chief of
police are Catholics, and the city attorney
is Protestant, and the feeling that the FIRE
quent arrests of the Salvation Army mem.
bers is religious persecution has grown to
some extent among the Protcstants.
