DASTAROII WORK.

A Grand Rapids s. Indiana Train Wrecked
Near Kalamazoo, Enthusiastically the
Work of Williams Who Misplaced Rail
A Large Number Severely Injured.
KALAMAZOO, Mich, Aug. Ga das-
tardly and successful plot to wreck a
train was carried into execution yester-
day afternoon on the Grand Rapids 81
indiana road near Cooper, the first sta
ton north of kalamazoo. The fated
train was the through express, carry
ing the Mackinaw and Chicago sleeping
car and due here at noon. After leav-
ing Cooper, and while the train was
running 35 miles an hour, Engineer
Clark Snyder noticed what seemed to
be an open switch a short distance
ahead. He quickly applied the air
brakes, but before the train could be
stopped it ran onto the fatal spot
The engine wheels caught in the
rails and ties and stayed on the track,
but the rest of the train went over an
embankment so feet high.
There were about sixty passengers in
the train, and twelve in the Wagner
sleeping car. In the descent of the
latter to the bottom of the embankment
it rolled over twice and finally rested
right side up almost completely demol-
lshed. The trucks and wheels tore
with terrific force through the botto m
of the coach and the escape of the pas
sengers from instant death is nothing
short of a miracle.
Brakeman Conway, of Fort Wayne,
though badly injured about the head,
ran to this city for aid. A special train
bearing a corps of surgeons went out
and in an hour brought the injured to
Borgess. hospital.
While the injured were being cared
for railroad men investigated the cause
of the accident, and discovered that it
was caused by a deliberate plot to
wreck the train. What seemed to En-
gineer Snyder to be an open switch
was a rail sprung from its place by
bolts being taken out. The condition
of the nuts and bolts plainly showed
this. The ties and the spikes used in
holding down the rails bore evidence
OF having been tempered with.
The following is list of the injured:
A. Conway, Fort Wayne. head cut; N.
B. Williamson, Trenton, n. j., arm in
jured, head cut; DR.. H. B. Carried Chi
cago, back hurt; T. A. Burnham, Me-
dina, n. Z, head cut; A. o. Davids,
Chicago, badly shocked and bruised;
Charles A. Shellman, Baltimore, face
crt and head bruised; Miss Carrie Haw-
ley, Niles, Mich, badly bruised; w. S.
Pratt, Grand Rapids, shoulder dislo-
Gated; Mr.. and Mrs. J. Earl. Grand
Rapids, his shoulder dislocated
and her body badly bruised; NJ.
R. Powers, Chicago, bad cash in leg,
arm broken, head and face cut; L.
Waterman, Lowell, Mich, badly in
5ured internally; Henry G. Dykehouse,
Grand Rapids, two bad scalp wounds.
A number of other passengers We're
less seriously injured. While the rail-
road men insist that the accident was
due to a deliberate plot to wreck the
train, others believe that the spreading
of the track caused the accident

In Favor of the Merit system.

WASHINGTON, Aug. S.-Maj. Pollock,
superintendent of the free delivery
service of the post Office department.,
said yesterday that lie was in accord
with the resolutions recently adopted
by the Letter Carriers association at
Detroit, urging that all letter carriers
be placed under the civil service law.
At present, he said, the carriers at
tached to offices having less than fifty
employees were not under the protec-
ton of the law. He believed that the
merit system should govern, protecting
all letter carriers, whether belonging
to large or small offices.

CINCINNATI, Aug. 9.-About o'clock
last night Jos. j. Levi. recently en-
ployed by the Baltimore & Ohio South
western railroad, shot and almost in
stantly killed Ida kipp just as she was
entering the gate of a Fifth-street beer
garden with a gentleman friend. Levi
had been paying attentions to the girl
for some time and was jealous of her.
He saw the couple walking together
on the street and followed them
for several blocks Just as they
reached the beer garden he stepped
up and drew a revolver from his
pocket, firing four shots at her. one
taking effect in the head and another
through the left hand. He then placed
the weapon to his own head and pulled
the trigger but it missed fire. He ran
down Fifth street drawing the shells
from his revolver and trying to reload
it with the intention of ending his own
life. In his flight he stumbled and fell
to the sidewalk, discharging the revolt
yer but doing no serious damage. He
got up and tried to escape from the
crowd who were after him, but was
finally captured and lodged in the CEN
trial police station.
Levi was an applicant for position
on the police force in this city, and had
passed the examination a few DAYS ago.
