A Railway Collision Near Cincinnati In
which the Debris Takes Fire from an
Overturned Car-Stove, and Five Pas
sengers Are Burned to Death-Severa1
Seriously wounded.
CINCINNATI, Jan. 1S.-A disastrous
railroad wreck occurred at q few min
utes past o'clock Thursday night
within the limits of the city. Tho
local accommodation on tho Cincinnati,
Hamilton & Dayton railroad left Winton
place at o'clock for this city 1t was
behind time about forty minutes.
After leaving Winton place the
railroad cuts through Spring Grove Gem
etery. The track here is on sharp
curve, and the end of the accommoda-
tion train had not yet disappeared
around the curve when the express was
heard approaching, and in a minute more
IL rushed past at a high rate of speed.
A mile further on, and directly over
the tunnel that burrows beneath tho
tracks connecting tho two parts of the
cemetery, it crashed into the rear end
of the local train. With such tremen-
dous power did the engine strike the
rear car that it plowed right under it
for half a cars length, elevating the rear
portion of the car right into the engine.
Engineer Coadly reversed his lever and
Jumped, but the speed of the train was
20 great that it ran fully quarter of a
mile before stopping. The stoves and
lamps in the local train were smashed
by the force of the collision and set fire
to the coaches. In less than five min
utes they were wrapped in flames. There
were about fifty passengers on board, and
nearly all got out safely. Five per-
sons, however, were caught and pinned
among the breaking timber and were
slowly roasted to death. The passen-
gers on the express and residents of tho
vicinity, together with the Cincinnati
fire and police departments, who were
quickly on the scene, could do nothing
for them. In quarter of an hour it
was all over. The killed are:
John Wilson, of Winton place, thrtysec-
ond degree Mason and superintendent OF the
Metropolitan Life Insurance Company OF this
city; Louis +. Kellar Of Winton place, hard
ware merchant of this city; Conductor +. w.
witherbee, OF Toledo, who was in charge of the
local train; James Staley, baggagcmaster OF
DAYTON; Will ~ Plannetts. of Carthage, o., o
plumber
The latter two died after removal to
the city hospital. The legs and arms Of
both were partly burned off. All were
bound by the broken timbers, and met
slow and agonizing death by fire.
Their bodies were all recovered but
were hardly recognizable. Engineer
Coadly and Fireman Barker, of the col
liding engine, were both badly hurt by
| jumping.

years. The first public suspicion
of the fact occurred at Oxford in
1885, In 1888 he went to Venice,
where he had an attack and broke down
mentally. Since November he has lain
In bed continuously. He refuses all ex-

Port Townsend that special messen-
ger had arrived from Washington
with instructions for the commanders
of The United States cruisers tn pro-
coed to Behring sea and seize all YES
sells found with any evidence that
they had been engaged in seal fishery
causes great Indignation. At the
same time comes the story that q
British squadron has been ordered to
rendezvous at Esquimalt.
The majority of British Columbians,
however, be,,ieve that no matter what
acts of piracy may be committed by
the Yankees the British war ships
viii not interfere. For this reason
Canadians will take the matter into
their own hands and meet force with
force on the high seas. 1t is knowo
that crews of sill vessels proceeding
10 the sealing ground were
fully armed with view of
resisting seizure, but to-day a story
leaked out that two clipper schOOners
are being secretly fitted out in Maple
bay especially to meet the Yankees.
1t is said these vessels will each carry
heavy swivel, besides two smaller
guns, and disguised as sealers viii
tempt the seizure so as 10 bring Cd an
encounter.
Regarding the story Capt. Scott, a
veteran sealer, says that toe report is,
no doubt, true, but the matter had
been kept secret for fear of British
interruption. The shippers of the
two vessels in which he was interested
had armed their crews aud before
siiling swore to 20 to the bottom
rather than submit to seizure.
