BAD RAILROAD WRECK
A Terrific Collision on the Pan-
 handle Road.
THREE TRAIN MEN KILLED
Two Passenger Trains Running Thirty Miles an Hour Crash Together and Three Lives Are Lost Escape
 of the Passengers.

Lo6ANsPoRT, Ind, January This city terrible railroad disaster on the Panhandle, two miles west of Kokomo.
 There are two through passenger trains which leave Logansport 10 minutes apart The incoming night express, due here at 3 | 05 q. m, passes these trains at Kokomo
 Through mistake or oversight the incem- ing train pulled out of kokomo before the Louisville train had passed and while thun- dcring along Ut 3o miles per hour, the two trains collided with terrible force. Tho en- gineers and fircmen of both trains jumped for their lives
 Fireman Thomas Cummings had the top of his head crushed and death was instan- taneous
 Thomas Mccullough, engineer, was caught by broken timber and killed.
 Baggagcman Isaac Kerlin wns wedged in his car in a frightful manner and died a few moments before the arrival of his crazed wife
 The express messenger received broken ribs and other injuries.
 Mrs George w. Burrow and daughters, Dilla and Nellie of this city. were passen- gers on tho i'll -fated train. They were cn route to Florida to spend the winter. Mrs. Burrow was slightly injured, but the daughters escaped nnhurt.
 The escape of the passengers was truly miraculous. The trains were both running at about 30 miles per hour, and the terrible force of the collision can better be imagined than described

BLOODSHED IMMINENT.
Tho Dakota Boomers Arc Armed and
 Desperate and Trouble Is Feared.

PIERRE, $. Dak., December 30-The ex | citement over the attempt of boomers tc l found town site on the reservation across
 tho river from this point continues unabat- cd The boomers have been acting mystcr- iously, and it has leaked out that they are still making preparations to execute theiI
 scheme. They held secret meeting to
 night in an old building about half mile from this city. and it is claimed by some
 who ought to know that they contemplated moving over the river to night or to nor
 row night IL has also developed that 6 portion of the land which they intend squatting on Is not a portion of the reserva 1 tion, but part of the famous Mile Square
 which has heretofore been occupied by half breeds and squaw-me as part of the reser vation.
 In this case there is certainly some pro hability of their success. They have thorough organisation and are led by very shrewa men, who will not stop at anything
 to carry their point. The half breeds arc reinforcing themselves and will undouhted. y fight desperately before they will yield J. W. Shinn, former member of the Ohio
 Legislature, is the leader of the boomers
 and he has undoubtedly laid his plans well
 Dr. Brown Of this city and aparty named
 Jesse James are his seconds. They have
 q large assortment of arms, thus showing
 that they arc desperate
 Business has almost been entirely neg
 lected here to-day, everybody being busy
 cScitedly discussing the situation The
 boomers are constantly masking converts
 for their cause, and with achievements will probably be able to take possession.

PROSPECTIVE ICE FAMINE.
New England Alarmed Over the Failure
 of the Harvest

NEW HAVEN, Conn, December 30 0--Ice dealers throughout the State are beginning to be thoroughly alarmed at the prospect of ne ice harvest this winter With the ist of January and not pound of ice cut with the days of sunlight ready to increase in length rapidly, aud with not pond even skinned over with ice, the outlook is far from encouraging. Most of tho New Haven ice men entered upon the season of 1889 with comparatively small stocks. but elsewhere In the State they were helped out by the large surplus crop which came over from the cold winter of lssT-isSS Now that is all gone. All cuttings last winter were light, and thero are no reserve stocks on hand 10 speak of in Connecticut In New Haven some of the dealers have already begun to consider the making of shipping contracts in Maine and Canada which can he made more advantageouslv now than later in the season Tho Maine crop Is reported here as being rapidly cleaned up by vessels from Baltimore, Washington and Philadelphia, where the continued warm weather has resulted in Il large consumption of ice late in the season. If Maine catches good weather this winter, Co the exclusion of Lower New England and tue Hudson River ice farms, her ice ponds will prove veritable gold mines for their owners
