EXPLOSION OF A LOCOMOTIVE.
The Engineer Frightfully Mangled, and Two
Other Men Seriously Hurt.

CHICAGO, May 29-A locomotive exploded
this morning on the Illinois Central railroad,
near Wildwood station. The list of casualties,
so far as reported, is: Engineer Perkins, fatally
injured fireman Charles Schmeckner. severely
scalded; conductor William Lindsay, seriously
scalded. Wildwood is small station two and
half miles south of Pullman. At the hour
named, the engine, No. 119, pulled In side
track. with gravel train. Perkins, the en-
gneer, was in the cab, while the conductor and
fireman were standing or the ground near by.
Suddenly terrific explosion was heard, and
after the startled bystanders collected their
senses it was seen that the boiler of the engine
had burst and the engine lay on the track COM
plete wreck. The boiler head was blown out
and the cylinder and piston heads shattered into
fragments. The lining Of the boiler was twisted
into all conceivable shapes and the rods, wood
work and brass work bent, broken and torn into
an unrecognzable mass. The entire engine
was completely ruined The force Of the ex
plosion sent the engineers lever flying out with
resstless strength, the handle striking the en-
gineer just over the heart, tearing and laying
open horrible wound that will ultimately re-
suit in the unfortunate mans death. The es-
Gaping water and steam seriously scalded the
conductor and fireman. The injured men were
taken to St Lukes Hospital, and wreckng
train, in charge of o. J. Barrie, sent out to the
scene of the disaster.

Death and the Retired List Rapidly Claim
ing the Heroes of the Rebellion.
Special to the indianapolis Journaf.
WASHINGTON, May 29.-"It viii not he many
years." said an old army officer to-day, until all
of the men who are known as veterans in the
regular army, and who fought in the late war,
will be either dead the retired list, and the
officers who will command the army will be
fighters in theory only. Nearly all of the officers
above first lieutenant are men who experienced
lively service in the late war, and during the
next ten years the diminution of the ranks of the
veterans will be very rapid, and when these old
men are on the retired list or in their graves,
West Pointers will have full sway, and the
army will be conducted ia its detail upon the
tactics and theories taught at the national anili
tary school,"
DO you think the men who learned to fight in
the late war and in the war with Mexico are bet
ter soldiers than those who were taught at West
Point?"
No. replied the army officer, II do not think
so. West Pointers, as a general thing, are more
eager for promotion and advancement than the
veterans and their promotion is largely accel-
Grated by the records they make, and in time Of
action they are prompted to do gallant service
from motives of selHshness. 1t is a mistake to
think that the men who fill the responsible posi-
tions in the army now were all trained as sol
diers in schools The best fighting among the
Indians has been carried on by men who learned
all they knew of warfare upon the battle field,
and whose tactics partake of cunning"
do the West Point mef," inquired your cor
respondent, receive any special favor at the
hands of the War Department-favors not
granted to those who grow up from the ranks2"
"The charge which you intimate has been
made directly quite a number of times by men
who were not educated at the military school,
and has been investigated by inquiries and pub
!ic opinion, but it has never been established.
1t was alleged that, during the war; the men
who went out Of West Point to fight were given
preference over those who came from their
homes as farmers, merchants, etc., hut it was
found 20 be false, and those who came home
with the most renown were mer who knew
nothing of warfare before entering the service.
1t has been believed by West Pointers for many
years that Congress was somewhat prejudiced
against them, and that legislation intended to
benefit individuals was given largely in favor Of
men who were not educated at West Point.
This, however, has been shown to be false, and,
more than fifteen-before all the iealousieD
growing out of imaginary preference on account
of education will be behind us, and the veterans
will be on the retired list or will be with the
army beyond"

Why Laborers Work Willingly in Clearing O
Fish Reservoir.

why LaOorers work Willingly in Clearing q
Fish Reservoir.
Special to the Indianapolis journal.
WASHINGTON, May 80 Immediately in front
of the Capitol, on the west side, is large fish
reservoir 1t is probably sixty feet long, by
thirty five feet wide, on the average, and is
eighteen feet deep at the upper end and fourteen
feet deep at the lower end. 1t is shaped like an
egg. is built of stone, and catches the surplus
water from the springs beneath the Capitol which
supply the inhabitants with drinking water. An
iron spout pours the surplus water into the res
ervoir in constant stream. There is large
variety of fish IN the reservoir, and. leaning
against the rails which surround it, may be seen
at nearly all times of the day, crowd of specta-
tors for the water is SO transparent that the fish
may be seen at any depth. During the past week
a body of laborers were engaged for two or
three days cleaning out the reservoir The
water turned off and the fish taken out and
placed it vats The bottom of the reservoir is
covered with stone and cement but on top Of
that was found mucous slime of mud, moss
and leaves, probably three inches deep. The
architect of the Capitol said to your
correspondent, during the process of clean,
ing the reservoir. that although the work
was very heavy and unpleasant, none of the du-
ties about the Capitol were performed with
greater zeal and pleasure by the workmen. The
reason of this was, he said, that the men who
cleaned out the filth often found good deal OF
valuable treasure in it. Senators and Repre-
sentatives are often seen to throw their dimes
and nckels and fancy buttons and scarfpins
into the pool to see the fish dart after them.
The reservoir is cleaned out about every three
months, and there is found deposited at the botA
tom of it almost peck of these little trnkets
which are thrown into it, and occasionally the
workmen receive very valuable "tips" for their
extraordinary. labors. On one occasion it is said
diamond ring and three or four fvedollar gold
pieces were found among the valuables. They
had evidently been cast into the pool by mistake.
The gold pieces were doubtless thought to be
pennies at the time they were thrown in. Tho
fish are mostly gold and are so clean in their
habits that they never swallow any of the things
which thrown at them.
