Major William Warner arrived from
Washington this morning. In an interview
he replied to the question, "Wil you accept
the position of commissioner of peDsionsl"
"No, will not"
The cases of most interest were those of
the merchants of Humbolt, Kan, charging
various western railroads with discrimina-
tion in freight rates against them in favor of
Missouri river points. The general answers
of all the roads were substantially the same,
saying the Missouri river rate is an unjust
one, but is forced upon them by ocean and
other competition.

HORRIBLE wREok IN CHICAGO.
Five People Scalded to reath--Scv-

Five People SCalded to l,eath--Scv-
eral Injured.
CHICAGO, Sept 24.-Fve innocent lives
paid the penalty of the wanton carelessness
of railroad engineer at the corner of Vim
cennes avenue and Eighty-seventh street in
this city this evening.
Tho suburban train on the Rock Island
road leaving the Chicago depot at6:ls leaves
every evening at this point the Washington
Heights coach, to be caught up by the
dummy. This evening the car was left as
usual, when the passengers were horrihed
to see, bearing down upon them at the rate
of twelve miles an hour, heavy freight
train on the same road. There was no time
for flight.
The engineer reversed his engine, but
with almost undiminished speed it plowed
into the passenger coach until the locomo-
tive was hidden entirely in the wreck.
Wild screams and groans followed, and as
the steam formed in thick cloud around
the scene the terrified spectators
realized that the ill-fated passengers
were being roasted alive. Willing
hands lent all the assistance possible, but
the engineer having failed TO shut off the
steam, the steam chest was blown out by the
shock of the collision, and the death-dealing
vapor hissed forth for nearly an hour.
Strange to say not a person was killed by
the collision. The loss of life was solely
attributable to the scaldiug steam that en-
veloped the coach.
The dead as taken out were found to be
literally scalded. The flesh dropped from
their hands and limbs, and their cleaning
eyes told the horror Of their experience.
The list of the killed is: J. McKinzie,
Fred Huebner, Mrs Kelley, Mrs. Brown
ana an unknown woman, all OF Washington
Heights.
Those most seriously wounded are: Gus.
Mulcahy, Seventy sixth and Wallace streets,
fatally hurt; Miss A. X. Steele, Anton Shu-
berg and Parker Harden, of Washington
Heights. The others hurt sustained but
slight injuries.
The wreck appears to have been entirely
due to the almost criminal carelessness of
Engineer Twombley.
The passenger train was on time, the
signals were out at the sema-
phore and yet the freight train,
regardless of time and signals plunged into
the coach, running at speed of twelve
miles an hour within the city limits
Both Twombiey and his fireman jumped
and escaped. The engineer has disappeared.
