A TERRIBLE CRASH



On the Burlington and Missouri Road
Fifty Passengers Injured.
OMAHA, Dot. ia terrible wreck &C.
Cured on the Burlington and Missouri. at
Gibson, few miles from Omaha, at 6:45
last evening. About fifty passengers were
injured. Two engines were completely de-
molished, and a chair Car and combination
car were thrown from the tracks and reduced
to atoms. Train No. 9, the local between
Lincoln and Chicago, ran into No. 9. The
former was east and the latter west bound.
Gibson is the meeting point and the place
where the crew of No. 8, which is stub
train that makes connections with the Kan
sas City express, stops to register. Both
trains are due at Gibson at 6:45 p. M, but
last night No. was slightly behind. When
the accident occurred the latter Just crossed
the spur and the engine on No. 8 struck the
enc, hurling both engines and the two coaches
from the track. The combination coach and
the chair car were both crowded with passen-
gers, all of whom were more or less in
jured, while Peter Rouland, proprietor of the
fremont House, was 80 badly hurt that he
died shortly after being taken to the hospital.
The chair car, after being overturned, caught
fire and many of the passengers were burned
in addition to their other injuries, but those
who had escaped comparatively safe aided in
the work of relieving their pain. The exact
number of the injured has not as yet been
aseertained. Isaac W. Rocks of Hartford,
Conn, was among the injured.
A Lucky ssPrint.,
PUTNAM, Conn.,, Oct. 16.-Charles L. Hull,
the son of wealthy parents of Roekport, m Y,
disappeared from home some years since and
no trace was found till recently, when he was
found in Putnam working as printer on the
Windham County Standard. His father died
recently, leaving him heir to $4,000, and
the young man left for home few days since
to receive the estate.

At the meeting the question of hardening
College street from Crown to George came
up. This is one of the old matters long pend
ing before the city government, and fruitless
efforts have been made to carry through this
| needed Improvement. The hindrance to the
accomplishment of this matter has been 9
lack of funds. Last night Councilman Lowe
made y motion, which was finally carried
| and the work was ordered done next veal
| under next years appropriation.
