TERRIBLE RAILROAD ACCIDENT.
Seven out of Ten Killed.

MILWAUKEE, Wis, October 2S.-The
limited passenger train on the Chicago,
Milwaukee and st. Paul railroad, which
left here last night at 10 o'clock, was de-
rallied at Rio when about three hours out
and thrown into an old stone quarry.
Particulars are hard to get, but 1t is adj
mitted at the general office of the COM
pany in this city that one coach and three
sleepers were wrecked and five or SIX
persons killed. Physicians left this city
on an early train for the scene OF the dis
aster.
1t is now reported that out of the ten
persons who occupied the passenger
coach seven were killed. A gentleman
from Chicago and two children from WI
mona, Mimi, were the only ones saved
from the passenger coach. None OF the
occupants of the sleepers were injured;
Nothing has yet been learned in regard
to the number wounded.
LATER.
MILWAUKEE, WIS, October 2S.--Ihe
latest particulars of this mornings ter
rible railroad catastrophe are as follows:
When the open switch was struck and
the shock came, the momentum OF the
sleepers in rear of the day coach was so
great that the latter broke in two in the
centre, rearing up and forming an in
verted "V." The day car then blazed
up with fire, and the cries and struggles
of the dying inside were simply indie
scribable.
Among the passengers were Mrs Rosina
Johns. Mrs. Scherer, her daughter-in-law,
and the latters two little children, OF WI
mona. The two brave women, especially
the brave mother, succeeded by almost
superhuman efforts in pushing the little
ones through a window to the outside,
and then they perished in the flames. The
loving mother sacrificed her life for her
children.
The mail car was in charge Of John
Beaks, of Plainfeld, Wis, and five men
all of these escaped and without injuries.
They succeeded in saving most OF the
valuable mail matter. Sixty bags OF
newspapers were destroyed, but most OF
the letter-bags were saved.
The two Scherer children, of Winona,
are the only ones in the day car known
to have been saved. The rest not only
all perished, but most of them will per
haps never be identified 1t is regarded
as one of the most terrible railroad dis
asters that ever occurred in the North
west. Among the known victims are:
Mrs Rosina Johns, WinOna; Mrs. Sche-
rer, Winona; Louis Brinter, Columbus;
Emil WoltersdOff, Columbus.

as could be seen through the haze.
During the period covering the speeches
on shore the boats and ships of the fleet
bobbed on the tide and awaited the end.
1t came shortly before o'clock, when
the booming cannon announced the
PRESIDENTS DEPARTURE.
A starboard broadside was fired from
all the ships in the fleet, strong enough, as
an old mariner said, "tO sour all the milk
in creation" A quarter of an hour later
the signal for down colors" was piped
on the flagship, and the other ships called
down their bunting and ran up their stay
lights. AT the same time the nayy-yard
tug Catalpa ran alongside the Despatch
and took off the President and his party,
the Dispatch at the same time running
up her anchor light. None of the naval
vessels will leave their anchorage to-
night
When NJ. de Lesseps finished his ad-
dress there were loud cries for
BARTHOLDI,
who came forward and bowed and waved
his hat to the audience; and when the
people insisted upon a speech from the
sculptor, General Schofeld abruptly cried
out, Mr. Bartholdi has nothing to say,
so there's no use Of talking about it, and
announced Senator Evarts.
Senator Evarts then delivered the
PRESENTATION ADDRESS.
He said: "The scene upon which this
vast assemblage is collected displays a
transaction in human affairs which finds
no precedent or record in the past, nor in
the long future we may feel assured will
it ever confront its counterpart Or parallel.
The people of France contributed from
slender means and of their free will the
aggregated wealth demanded for so vast
an undertaking, all for love Of
liberty at home and love of liberty abroad,
and in hearty homage TO the friendship
of these great republics. AS with the
French people, so with our own, the
whole means of the great expenditure OF
the work has come from the free contri-
buttons of the people themselves, and thus
the common people of both nations may
Justly point to a greater, a nobler monu-
ment in aid of the history and progress
and welfare of the human race than en-
perOrs, or kings, or governments have
ever raised"
In conclusion, Senator Eyarts declared
the work surrendered to the care and
keeping of the Government and people OF
the United States.
When Mr.. Evarts mentioned the name
of Bartholdi the audience loudly cheered.
This was mistaken on the part Of those
who had charge for the conclusion of the
address, when the unveiling was to take
place. Accordingly the flag was with
drawn from the face of the statue. The
steamers and batteries Immediately began
a mighty salvo of cannonading and
whistling, amid which Mr. Evarts help
lessly took his seat. The salyO continued
fully twenty minutes.
When this had ceased, and Gilmore Is
band had played, President Cleveland
stepped to the front of the stage and
said:

rem of the French Republic the grand
