A CRASH IN A FOG.


 Four Persons Killed and Four In- iared by a Railroad Collision at Lorenzo. II.-A Fiancee Killed and Her Betrethed Husband Seriously Injured and Grief Stricken. CHICAGO, April 1O.-One of the saddest of the innumerable railroad disasters which have occurred near Chicago took place early this morning at Lorenzo, Ill. The victims were eight in number, inclubing bride that was to be and her betrothed husband. Lo- renzs, the scene of the horror, is @ little hamlet 57 miles out on the Chicago, Santa Fe and California road. During Q fog an extra freight train ran into the rear of the regular No. 9 California passenger train east bound at 4:23 a. m., smashing to bits pri- vate coach and letting not single one of the occupants escape.
 Four people were killed and four others injured. The killed are: Henry Robert Hart, the 13 year old son of J. L. Hart of Boston, Mass.; Miss Alice Winslow of Brook lvn, Mass, niece of J. L. Hart, and the fancee of Henry W. Lamb, who was serious ly injured; Harry Herring, colored, porter, of Los Angelos, Cal; Thomas Smith, colored, cook. of Los Angeles, Cal.
 The seriously injured are: J. l.. Hart, of Boston, Mass., director of the Chicago, Kan sas and Western, branch of the Sante Fe, badly burned about the foot, legs, arms and head; Mrs. J. l.. Hart, the formers wife, whose injuries are similar; H. W. Lamb, of Brooklyn, Mass, seriously scalded about the arms and head; P. L. Palmer, brakeman of the freight train, of Brighton Park, H., seri- ously scalded.
 The passenger train was running on time and the extra freight, through some inexcus- able error of the train despatcher, was allowed to follow. At Lorenzo the grade is very steep, and the engineer of the extra saw that his train was unmanagesble just as he per ceived the tail lamps of the passenger. He whistled for brakes. It was too late. His engine crashed into the private car, driving it up on the steps of the Pullman car Santa Anna.
 Henry w. Faulkner of Detroit, passenger on the wrecked train, thus described MT. Lambs grief at hearing of the death of his betrothed:
 1T was in the sleeper Santa Anna" said Mr. Faulkner, "when I was awakened l doubled up in my berth, and I feel now like had been broken in two. I could hear 8 prodigious uproar outside and the sound of escaping steam. ' dressed fast as I could and got outside. Some of the trainmen and passengers were at work on the wreck and | had pulled out young man, whose name l | afterwards learned was Lamb. He was | grooming pitifully. I got @ mattress from
 the sleeper and we lifted Lamb to it
 where is AlIicer said he rising | up suddenly. Then two men passed with | the body of woman. Lamb caught sight of her face by the light of @ lantern. 'Oh, GodI it is Allie,' he screamed, and then he dropped back on the mattress in faint. l \ was in the car with the wounded on our way
 to the city, and every once in a while could
 hear Lamb, poor fellow, moaning the name of 'Allie.'" The train bringing the injured | came into the Dearborn street station, Chica-
 go, at 9:20. The officials of the road had prepared everything for the reception. An ambulance and three police patrol
 wagons were at the depot and as
 tenderly possible bore the four injured persons who were on the train to the | Mercy hospital Dr. Winfield Hall of the
 hospital staff says that the injuries of MT.
 and Mrs. Hart are dangerous. There is con-
 gestion of the internal organs and he faars that pneumonia, no uncommon sequence oi ! severe scalds. may set in. The case of Lamb \ is by means serious. Dr. J. J. Ran l som, the chief of the medical department of
 the Santa Fe road, takes a more hopeful
 view. He made thorough examination of
 MT. and Mrs. Hart and thinks the recovery
 of both assured unless there be unusual de-
 velopments not indicated by present condi- | tions.
