CRUSHED AND BURNED.
A st, Paul Passenger Train Thrown From
the Track by an Open switch Near
Portage, Wis.-An but Three of the
Occupants of One Gar Perish by Fire
The Names of Those Identified.

The most shocking accident which
has occurred in Wisconsin for many
years took place about 1920 O'Clock
on the morning of the 2Sth, near East
Rio. The limited express on the Chi
cago, Milwaukee & st. Paul road,
which left Milwaukee at 1o O'Clock,
ran INTO an open switch. As the en-
CINE ran of the track, Engineer Little,
who remained bravely at his post, did
not lose his presence OF mind. He
quickly put on the air brakes and
thus prevented what might have been
a much worse catastrophe. The en-
gine, mail and baggage cars and
one passenger coach ran off the
track. The front part OF the
first sleeper also left the track.
The stoves in the passenger car at
once set fire to the car, which was soon
a mass of flames, Only three OF the
passengers in that coach, man and
two children, escaped. The others
were burned to death, and their pierc-
ing shrieks, until finally hushed, were
heart-rending The charred condition
OF the remains rendered recognition
impossible, and the identity of the
victims is therefore made difficult and
conjectural. The names of some of
the dead land few of these are not
positively known to be identifed) are:
Mrs. Conrad c. Scherer, wife OF lead
ing merchant at Winona, Mimi;
Mrs. Rosina Johns, Mrs. Scher-
er's mother; Mrs. L Lowry, of
Milwaukee, Mrs. Scherer's sister;
Louis Brinker, of Columbus, Wis;
Emil Waltersdorf, also of Columbus;
both boarded TIE train at that place;
Mother Alexia, mother superior OF
convent at Winona, Mimi. (supposed;)
a sister Of charity who was accompa-
nying Mother Alexia - Dibble, a
commercial traveller, whose residence

dress found in memorandum book
on his person;) Mrs. Chas. NJ. Mari,
OF Chicago; supposed. from descrip-
ton wired by relatives, corresponding
to what is recalled by the conductor;l
Wallace Stuart, OF Columbus, Wis,
aged %, on his way to Idaho. The
injured were: Charles S. Smith, Chica-
go medical student, whose parents
live in Charles City, Ia, arm broken
and other injuries, but not fatally
hurt; Conductor l.. II. Searle, of Mil
waukee, badly cut and bruised, extent
OF injuries not yet known: Wade
Clarke, OF Oconomowoc, baggageman,
leg broken and other injuries of lesser
nature. James Phillips, OF Columbus,
brakeman, cut about the sace and Sc
verely bruised. Thomas Little, Of

to the front of the stage and accepted
the statue in behalf of the United
States.
NJ. A. Lefaivre, ministre plenipoten-
taire ct delegue extraordinaire, repre-
sentative on behalf of the Republic OF
France, was then introduced by Gen.
Schofield. M. Lefaivre made short
address.
Gilmore's band then rendered some
choice selections, and then Gen. Scho-
field announced Chauncsy NJ. Depew,
who delivered the commemorative
grafton.
When Mr.. Depew had finished his
Grafton the doxology was sung by all,
standing, after which Bishop Potter
pronounced the benediction.
The assemblage, which had patient
" sat in the rain during the long ex-
ercises, then made speed to the boats.
With the exception of the President
and his party and the French dele
gates no order of embarkation was
observed, and "high and low, rich and
poor, one with another" made their
est individual efforts to reach the
ity, which both the falling darkness
and the mist rendered invisible to the
throngs OF anxious home. seekers. The
| national salute was fired, the steam
ers as usual joining in and swelling the
general uproar. The island was quick

left on guard, the display of fireworks

cient legends say, ships passed easily.

torch in "Liberty's" uplifted hand, is

her head is Ill feet. Her hand is Is

/ the distance across one of her eyes is
2 feet. The torch is 305 feet and II
inches above low-water mark. 1t has
been fitted with five electric lamps
of 80, 30,OOO-candlepower. 1t is believed
that the light will illuminate, barring

The plan of Bartholdi's gigantic
statue was first given to the public by
the French-American union in 1874,
at time when the world was all alive
with the preparations for our centen-

France took in securing the indie

The statue cost the French people
100000 francs, and the pedestal
and foundation represent an outlay

An Express Messenger Gagged and Rob-
bed of $40, 600
Mr.. Frothingham, express meSsen-
ger on the train which left St. Louis at
S:25 O'Clock on the night OF the oath,
on the st. Louis & San Francisco
Road, was robbed of more than $40,-
600 by a man giving the name OF Cum
mings. The story of the affair is told
by Supt. Damsel, of the express COM
papy, as follows: "Mr. rockingham
saws that as he was about TO go out
on his run last night, a man came to
him with letter purpOrtIng TO be
signed by myself and Mr.. Bar
rett, instructing him to take the
bearer, Jim Cummings, on his run
as far as Pierce City, for instruc.
tions. In accordance with the sup
posed instructions, rockingham took
the stranger and set him to work
checking up. Then he began his own
work. rockingham was standing
with his back to the stranger, his coat
off and the handle of his revolver
sticking out of the pistol-pocket.
About ten or fifteen miles out OF Union
Depot he was attacked from the rear.
The stranger gripped his neck with
one hand and grasped his revolver
with the other. Before rockingham
realized what was being done he
was thrown to the floor. He strug-
gled and fought, but the stranger
overcame him and bound him hand
and foot Then he put a gag in his
mouth and tied him to the safe. Hav-
ing secured the messenger, he proceed
ed to 90 through the safe and take all
there was in it. Several pouches OF
silver he cut open, but lett them when
he found what they contained. At
Mincke, some men working in lime
kiln tagged the train on account OF an
| obstruction on the track. While 1t
was standing still some one tried TO
get into the express car, but the rob-
Der stood over rockingham with a
revolver and prevented his making
any effort to cry out.
DAT or about Pacific Station the
robber took his plunder and opening
| the front door of the car, went out on
the platform and closed the door after
him. What he did after that Froth-
ingham does not know. He lay on the
| floor of the car until the train reached
| st. Claire, when he was able to get the
gag out OF his mouth and cry out for
assistance The trainmeI, hearing
him, endeavored to get in the back
door, and finding it locked went
around to the front door, which the
robber had left open. They released
him. rockingham says the robber
was about 6 feet high, "a years OF age,
and weighed about 200 pounds. He
had dark, straight hair, cut close, a
thin, dark mustache, a low forehead,
and wore dark clothes and a dark

The Clever Scheme of Operators in Corn
How the Price Was Put Up.
On the short afternoon board at
Chicago on the 2Sth the corn pit was
electrified by Norton & Worthington
buying / 900, 900 bushels Of corn in
side OF five minutes. The buying was
done, too, in a way to advance the
price, and with no idea plainly OF buy
ing carefully. May corn WAS run up
from 42&(d 1876, and then the firm
turned about and sold Just as wildly.
The whole transaction was mystery
until the next day. 1t now turns out
that it was big Job set up on the
bucket shops and probably covered the
whole country. A clique bought corn
at Kansas City and at Chicago, New
York and elsewhere in the bucket
shops at about AZ cents for May.
They then directed Norton x Worth
ington to advance the market at CHI
cago ,undoubtedlyamply protecting the
firm with margins. The time selected
was the short afternoon board. The
price was run up a cent in five min
utes. The trades at the bucket-shops
we're all ordered closed at the top. At
Kansas City, however, next morning,
the big 'bucket-shop proprietor re-
fused to pay, and claimed that 1t was
set-up job. This is the way the

LIBERTY UNVEILED.
The Ceremonies on Bsdioe's Island, New
York HarboI.


New YORK, Oct. 29.-The scene at
Bedloe's Island was one unprecedented
in history, and one which in all proba-
bility will never be counterparted in
future history. New York harbor was
faily alive with boats and shipping,
small tugs and government cutters
darting to and fro on errands OF haste
and Importance, while the silent, solid
forms OF the men of war lay quietly at
anchor. In semi-circle to the south
Of Bedloe's Island were anchored
the seven men-of-war, Tennes-
see, Minnesota, jamestown, Sara
toga, Yantic, Portsmouth and
Lance. They were decorated with
flags of all nations, and had on their
gala dress for the occasion. The
island was surrounded all the morn
ing by rowboats, yachts, sailing ves-
sells, tugs, steamers and craft of every
propelling power imaginable, steam,
sails and oars contributing to satisfy
the national curiosity and the lauda-
ble ambition to be on this great day
within hailing distance of the great
statue. When the naval parade was
over, and the boats that participated
IN it at the end Of their journey, the
water about the island had the ap-
pearance OF a thick settlement of curl
Gus buildings, so close and compact
were their ranks. On the island itself

Late on the night OF the 29th the
body OF man was found in the street
IN Detroit. An examination showed
that he had been stabbed with q
slender dagger. A woman who goes
by the name OF Lottie Frank claimed
that the body was that of her hus-
band, and that his name was William
L. Stewart. The affair is very mys-
terious.

the French Trade.
The press throughout France has
warmly criticised the project of the
French government to suppress the
sales of foreign goods marked as
French fabrics. The contention OF NJ.
Lockroy, the minister of commerce,
that the sale OF goods with forged
trade marks ought 10 be suppressed,
IS admitted to be excellent in princi-
pie; but it is predicted that the law in
question will result In the absolute
prohibition OF the sale of German
merchandise because no French house
will dare TO sell German goods which
are known to be German. The manu-
facturers OF Germany, say the papers,
II banlshed from France, may borrow
Italian, Belgian and Russian trade
marks in order to obtain entry into
the French market; further, under the
treaty OF Frankfort, France Is forbid

Germany, and Prince Bismarck must
act as ifthat treaty becomes practical
