Standing ccOmmOdatlon Train Rur
Into by n Fast-Running Passenger TraiI
Five Persons Killed and Several injured
IN the Crash.
Cincinnati (Ohio) dispatch: The fast
train on the Cincinnati. Hamilton &
Dayton road bOu nd for Chicago ran into
the Glendale acc ommodation at Winton
place recently, with the result that a
dozen lives were lost and more than a
score OF persons injured.
Tie Glendale accommodation had just
stopped TO allow the Winton place COM
muters to drop off, and the vestibule
train, running at a speed of sixty miles
an hour. plunged into the rear Of the
accommodation.
The rear car on the accommodation
was an express car, and this alone saved
at least two score lives. The big engine
on the fast line plowed half way through
the baggage car, frightfully wounding
the baggage master, Robert Stevenson,
who has since died. His assistant and
also the firemen and engineer are badly
wounded.
A red hot stove in the baggage car was
overturned, and, the car catching fire,
the flames seemed instantly to commu-
nicate with the two coaches, and they
too, with from six to twelve people, who
were wedged In by the broken seats,
were burned.
The dead are:
JOHN WILSON, superintendent OF the
Metropolitan Life Insurance Company, Gin
cinnati; residence Winton place,
j. w. NITHERBEE, conductor OF No. ~;
residence, Toledo.
JAMES STALEY, baggagemaster, died in
hospital.
WILLIAM LLAMITz, yonng man, died
in hospital.
An unknown woman.
Two of the dead bodies are in the
morgue In this city. They were all
burned to death.
The wounded are:
WILLIAM COAGLEY, engineer of No. 81, hurt
by jumping.
GEORGE MCKEE. fireman OF 81, Injured by
jumping.
At once the fire department OF Cincin.
natl was Summoned, and several patrol
wagons quickly responded to the call.
BY the time two fire engines had arrived
the two coaches were almost in ashes,
and little could be done except to clear
the 'reck so that the search for the
dead might begin. There was the smell
OF burning flesh i'm the air, and the
screams and sobs of frantic women were
heard. AS tho flames gnawed their way
into the two coaches agonizing shrieks
from the helpless victims pierced the
atmosphere and many women tainted rs
they heard the awful cries for help. The
passengers of the vestibule train, many
of whom were badly bruised by the
shock, did all in their power to aid those
in the accommodation train, who had
suffered more than they.
Glendale is fifteen miles from Cincin-
natl and one of the most aristocratic Of
its many suburbs. The bulk of those on
the accommodation were leading mer-
chants, bankers and brokers of the city,
though many Of those who got off at
Winton place were clerks. A special train
with surgeons was sent out from here,
and another special brought the most
seriously injured to the hospital in the
city.

A Fatal Rear-End Collision.

C~INCTNNATI, Jan. 1s.-At ITO last
evening as the Glendale accommoda-
ton, bound for Cinss.nati, was leaving
the station near College Hill Junction,
the Chicago vestibule train ran into tho
rear Of the accommodation. There were
three passenger cars OF the Glendale
train, containing about seyenty-ive
people. The locomotive of the Chicago
gestibule train ran half way through
the rear car Of the accommodation, pill
ing the passenger cars in a heap and
setting them on fire. At the time Of
writing four persons have been taken
out dead from the wreck. The wounded
are now on their way 20 this city, where
they will be taken to the hospital. The
number Of fatalities and injuries, con-
sidering the completeness of the wreck,
and the number OF passengers, is re-
ported to be comparatively small.
Several persons were rescued
fatally wounded. Bob Stevenson
the baggagemaster Of the vesti.
buled train, was badly hurt and died
shortly after being placed in the patrol
wagon. The body of John Wilson, SUI
~perintendent Of the Metropolitan Life
Insurance company of Cincinnati, has
been identified as one OF those burned
UP. The engineer of the vestible train
is seriously hurt.
Superintendent Nelson, who arrived
in this city from the scene Of the wreck
at midnight, says John j. Wilson, OF
Cincinnati; Conductor L. w. Witherbee
and an unknown man were the only
ones killed outright. James Staley,
baggagemaster, who was terribly
burned, and William Klemite, a passen-
ger, have died at the hospital since be-
ing brought to the city, making the
number of the fatalities five. The en-
gineer and the fireman of No. 81 were
terribly injured, as was also a boy, name
unknown, from Carthage, o. They are
in the hospital. 1t is claimed that no
other persons were seriously hurt,

The situation UNCHANGED.

HELENA, Mont, Jan. 1s.-There IS no
material change in the Legislative situa.
ton. Consideration of the joint rules
was postponed in the senate, owing to
the illness of Brown, republican.
Among several measures passed by the
republican house is an apportionment
bill, the consideration of which in the
upper house is opposed by the demo-
cratic members Of that evenly divided
body. it is believed the republican
senators, if all are present, will next
week proceed TO act on the house bills,
Notwithstanding that executive
interference might attempt to prevent
the construction of new laws. The re-
publicans hold that if the governor
vetoes a measure the act would be the
same as an approval in recognition Of
the constitutional organization of the
senate and republican house. Should
he withhold his approval the measure
would become a law after a lapse of i've
DAYS.
The democratic house remains scat
tered and an adjournment continues for
want of a quorum. The senate adj
journcd until Monday and the repub.
lican house will do the same today.
