Railway Collision Near Cincinnati I'm
Which the Debris Takes Fire from an
Overturned Car-stove. aud Five Pas
sengers Are Burned to Death-severaI
Seriously Wounded.
CINcISNATI, Jan. 1s.-A disastrous
railroad wreck occurred at a few min
utes past o'clock Thursday night
within the limits of the city. The
local accommodation ON the 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-
ton train had not yet disappeared
around the curve when the express was
heard approaching, and in a minute more
il rushed past ~ a nigh rate of speed.
A mile further on, and directly over
the tunnel that burrows beneath the
tracks connecting the two rarts 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
SO great that it ran fully quarter of
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 the
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, thirty-seo
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.
Withegbee, of Toledo, who was in charge OF he
local train; James Staiey, baggagemaster Of
Dayton; William Plannetts, of Carthage o.,
plumber
The latter two died after removal to
the city hospital. The legs and arms Of
both we're partly burned off. All were
bound by the broken timbers, and met
a 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
iumping.

LONDON, Jan. 20.-John Ruskin, the

Mr.. Ruskin's mind has been grad

1856. In 1883 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-

sire to get up. He is steadily growing
weaker, and the probability is that if
he ever leaves his bed again he will
never 90 out of his house.
