A DOUBLE WRECK,

Terrible Destruction of Railroad Property
by a Double Wreck Near Randolph, Mis-
souri, AT Least Two Lives Lost.
KANSAS CITY, Mo-, May PA double
| wreck occurred yesterday morning at a
small creek, one mile east of the Milwau-
kee bridge, at Randolph, and five miles
from this city. The accident was caused
by the giving way of the bridge spanning
the creek. Many cars and two engines
were precirftated into the water, four
men were killed and three badly injured.
A little before three O'Clock an eastbound
freight train on the Rock Island railroad
approached the creek at a high rate Of
speed IN order to clear the way for the
eastbound freight on the Hannibal & st.
Joe railroad. The Rock Island uses the
Hannibal tt ack between Kansas City and
Cameron. Just before the engine
reached the bridge Engineer Pete Weltzer
noticed the structure sagging
nearly to the water, which was run
ming into torrent underneath.
He shouted to Fireman Snyder to jump.
Before they had time to do 80 the train
dashed on to the bridge and both Weltzer
and Snyder were thrown into the creek.
They escaped with slight injuries. Five
freight cars, loaded to their utmost capa-
city, then piled in the creek in an indis-
the cars, and throwing their contents into
the water and on the banks. The engine,
No 533, got over the bridge safely, but
was pulled back by the tender, and stands
upon end far above the debris. Y. Roy
ston, brakeman, was on top of one of
the freight cars which went into
the creek, and was instantly
killed, being mashed beyond recog-
milton. Royston was a married man,
and lived at Edgerton Junction, Kas.
Brakeman Edward G. Anderson was sent
ahead to flag the Hannibal freight. He
mistook the tracks, and walked along on
the Wabash track in the direction of the
Milwaukee bridge, and was run over and
killed by Wabash freight.
THE SECOND DISASTER.
It was just ten minutes after the wreck
ing of the Rock Island train when the
Wabash freight composed of an engine
and twelve box cars, heavily laden, came
numbering along. The wreck was not
discovered by the engineer, Benjamin Nc
Clellan. until it was too late to stop the
train. He sounded the whistle, and the
engineer, fireman and brakeman jumped
from the train. In jumping, Engineer Nc
Clellan was thrown against a pile of ties,
his scalp was torn in several places,
and one of his legs broken. At
this time the men about the
wreck heard heart-rending shrieks,
and saw two men standing on
top of the approaching train. They
were gesticulating and shouting for help.
Their cries were drowned by the horrible
crash which followed. The Wabash
bridge was parallel to that of the Hanni-
bal, and distant from it only about two
feet. They were braced together. and the
breaking of the. former DESTROYED the
braces. Instead of this bridge breaking
it turned to one side, throwing the engine
into the creek, and pulling eleven cars on
top of it. The engine is completely de-
molished, and the cars are broken into
splinters. The wreck of the Wabash
train was more disastrous than that Of
the Rock Island.
