PLUNGED INTO THE RIVER.


One OF the worst accidents that has ever
happened on the Iowa and Dakota division
Of the Chicago, Milwaukee a. St. Paul. Road
occurred Thursday morning about three
miles west of New Hampton, Iowa. The
west-bound passenger train plunged oyer'a
bridge into the wapsic River, swollen 10
fearful torrent. The engine, baggage car,
and smoker were piled together IN the river
where the water was ten feet deep, tho two
passenger cars following. Five dead bodies
have been taken from the wreck aud IL In
thought others have been lost. over twenty
were injured, many OF them severely.
The train was composed of baggage and
express car, two passengers one smoker, 'and
sleeper. The passenger coaches were but
fairly filled, but the smoker contained about
forty men, women, and children, most OF
whom were foreigners. ~n f.
The train had pulled over the first bridge
and was short distance from the main
bridge when the engine struck a large cake
OF ice that had loated down the stream and
had lodged directly across the track. The
engine left the rails and plunged down an
embankment of about six feet into the river
The tender tore loose and plunged ahead OF
the engine into the river. The smoker kept
the track until IL was thrown over on the
tender, and rolling down the embankment
was soon submerged In water The two
passenger ears left the track, but were not
badly wrecked and none Of the passengers
seriously injured. The sleeper was the only
car left on the track In less than thirty
minutes not person remained in either of
these coaches aud, strange 10 say, none was
seriously injured. Meanwhile men from
New Hampton arrived on the scene and
their attention was attracted 20 the smoking
car.
At they approache II the scene presented
was awful The car was almost entirely
submerged In water, the side being upward.
Men were soon on top, and the injured, dead.
and dying were taken out. As nearly Us the
the conductor can remember when he passed
through, there were In this car at least forty
persons. The twenty-eight who wero alive
We're lifted out and were comfortably pro-
yided for. From the bottom Of the car five
dead bodies were taken out.

The boycott on Burlington freight came TO
an end for the second time Tuesday night.
The strikes ON the ST. Paul. 1T. Wayne, and

there will be no further spread OF the

days TO demoralize the entire commercial
interests OF Chicago.
The switch engines steamed up as usual
In the various yards Wednesday morning and

ton road. This result was brought about
through the mediation OF Chief Sargent OF
tho Firemen's Brotherhood. The switch
men realized that the back bone
Of their strike was broken when the
Michigan Central men returned e
work Tuesday. Another reason why they
gave up the fight was the successful transfer
OF trains made by the ST. Paul road. The
train winch the 81. Paul company sent TO tho
stock yards In the morning was alive will
the special policemen OF the company They
guarded IL at every point and the strikers
saw that the company was In earnest. The
gage OF battle was withdrawn and the
strikers sued for peace.
shortly after the close OF the Michigan
Central strike the switchmen, frcmcn, and
engineers OF the various roads decided at Q
crowded meeting that the employees of eacl
road should Use their own Judgment about
returning 10 work. This was the signal for q
stampede TO get under the coyerof their
old places. The Fort Wayne men
asked superintendent McCrea IL they
might return in body. Mr. Me.
Crea's reply was that they would all be
taken back IL they agreed TO handle freight
without discrimination. This was agreed
TO, and the men began work "Wednesday

We have been informed of a
touching incident, and one which
testifies TO the kindness of heart
of the late Lady Brassey, in connection
with the trosseau for the approaching
marriage of the Honorable Mabelle
Brassey, her eldest daughter. 1t seems
that while on her deathbed the lament
ed lady, with that thoughtful large
heartedness which was one of her char
acteristics, made a special request to
the Hon. Mabelle Brassey that her
trosscau should be entrusted TO the
Donegal Industrial fund, No. as Wig
more street, for the benefit of the Irish
workers, and to show the interest Lady
Brassey had always felt In that under
taking. Her wishes are being fulfilled,
and the trosseau, now in course of
preparation, will consist wholly of Irish
handiwork. --London Queen
