TRAGEDY At Il FUNERAL
A Train Dashes iuto the Mourners' Car
rIaRe, killing Ali but Ono.

CHICAGO, Jan. 23.-Frodorick Payne, six
months old, died two days ago OF pneumonia
Tho funeral took place to-day by carriages to
Rose Hill. Tho coffin was placed In little
white henrse. which rolled along after tho car
riaRe containing the pail bearers, four mere
lads, who lived near the Paynes, on Aberdeen
street. Tho third vehicle was occupied by Mr..
and Mrs. Payne, tho parents OF tho dead child ;
their daughter Oracle. 8 years old, and
Lizzie Reprogal, young woman who
was married last July. Simon Anaer-
son was tho driver The procession
reached the railroad crossing in front OF the
graveyard at 3:20 O'Clock. The tracks OF the
Northwestern road make sharp bend at this
point. Tho carriage containing tho pail boar
ers crossed tho track in safety, but the driver
heard the roar OF the Milwaukee limited OK
press in the cut north Of the station and waved
his arms irantically TO the driver behind him
to stop. The latter, however. lashed his horses,
and the hearse dashed over tho rails. Old
Simon Anderson, seeing that two OF tho
vehicles had crossed in safety. gave his horses
the lash. and they. too, plunged forward. The
animals had scarcely crossed the track when
the rushing engine crashed into the carriage.
The vehicle was crushed TO splinters and its
occupants hurled in every direction.
Mrs. Payne was found dead in q barbed wire
fence near the track Her husband, mangled
In horrible manner. lay III the ditch. His
death was instantaneous. Little Oracle had
been hurled upon the station platform. She
was covered with blood. which streamed from
her head, and when found was wrinRing her
hands and calling for her father. She soon
became insensible and Is now lying at the
point Of death. Mrs. ReproRal and old Simon
Anderson were alive. but breathing feebly.
The woman died in tho doctors ONCE before
her husband could reach her. The aged driver
died at the Emergency Hospital this evening.
Engineer Mahoney OF the train was trying to
make up lost time and was running at terrific
speed. He gave no whistle while nearing the
crossing and the company has never had flag
mon nor guards at that point, although thirty
funerals pass over the crossing every day. The
engineer was arrested tonight.
