Stcaln-C Cooked On 10 Chicago Suburban
Train.
Five innocent lives paid the penalty of
the wanton carclessness of a railroad en-
gineer i'll Chicago % few evenings since.
The suburban train on the Rock Island
foad, leaving the Chicago depot at G:1S,
leaves every evening at Nincennes street q
Washington Heights coach, to he caught
up by the dummy. The car was left as
usual, when n moment later the passengers
were mortified to see bearing down upon
them at IL late o. twelve miles an hour u
heavy freight train on the same road.
There was no time for flight. The cngi.
neer reversed his engine. but with almost
und,minished speed it plowed into the
passenger coach until the locomotive was
hidden entirely i'll the wreck. The terri
fed spectators realized from the es-
Gaping steam that the Inflated passen-
gers 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. aud the death deal
ing vapor Kissed forth for nearly an hour.
Strange to say. not u person was killed by
the collision, the loss of life being solely
attributable to the scalding steam that en-
veloped the coach. The dead, as taken out,
were found to be literally roasted. The
flesh dropped from their hands and limbs
and their glazing eyes told the horror of
their experience.
When q thorough search had been COM
pleted it was found that three ladies and
two gentlemen had been killed outright
and a third man was in q dying condition.
Six other persons were seriously injured.
The wreck appears to have been entirely
due to the almost criminal carelessness of
