PECULIAR AND FATAL.

An OIL Car Set on Fire by Collision.
Two Burned to Death.
FARGO, N. D., Sept. 29.--A fatal
wreck has occurred on the Northern Pa.
cific at Buffalo, twenty miles west of
here. An extra freight train took siding
for stock train bound east. It pushed
along an oil car, which stood on the sid
ing, SO as to make room for the train. A
brakemaninamed Gallinger climbed upon
the oil car to stop it near the, switch,
and when it reached there he found that
he could not stop it, as the brake would
not work. Gallinger stuck to it and
signaled the oncoming stock train, but
it was only when close upon the car that
the danger was seen and the brakes set.
The engineer, John G. Curtis, and Ne
fireman, Welcome e. Dodge, jumped
before the collision. The locomotive
of the stock train split the oil car in two,
Set Fire to the Oil and Gasoline
and completely enveloped the engineer,
fireman and Brakeman Beaton in oil,
which was also ON fire. They rolled in
the grass, threw sand upon themselves
and tried in every way to put out the
flames. Charles Bailey, a stockman on
the third car from the locomotive, was
also injured by the flames. Dodge died
there, Curtis was brought here and died
just as he was being taken into his house
His wife Is insane with grief. Brakeman
Beaton was badly burned, but safely
reached the Brainerd sanitarium. Six
teen of the twenty-four cars of stocl
were burned. All trains until p. m
were sent around the wreck via James
town, La Moure and Lisbon to Fargo
Dodge's remains were sent to his ole
home at Claremont, Mimi, and those o
Curtis to Stevens Point, Wis. Boil
were burned to crisp and are almos
unrecognizable.

The President of the Big Four Contra
diets Gould.
CHICAGO, ,ept. go. A special to The
Tribune from Cincinnati says: N. e.
ingalls, president of the Big Four sys-
tenn, has been seen with reference to the
interviews of Jay Gould in which Mr..
'Iould complains that there has been a
combination of six roads to injure the
Missouri Pacific in its grain trade and to
send all the grain business by Chicago.
Mr.. Ingalls, says this is all bosh. The
only combination made by the roads to
which So,:iia. S1oo;.ia referred was to keep up
prices. Mr.. Ingalls, said that when it is
known that the grain trade of the rail
roads is only small percentage of their
total business, the assertion of Mr..
Gould is ridiculous. Regarding the
statement of Mr.. Gould that he
had ordered his brokers to
buy Big Four stock in large
amounts, Mr.. Ingalls, asserted that he
did not believe it. He remembered
meeting Gould in New York one day
when the latter told him that the ele.
waited railroads would not pay, and that
owing to the continuous travel they
would go to pieces some day and the
stockholders would lose a lot of money
on them. A few weeks after Mr.. ingalls,
was surprised to find that Gould owned
these roads. Mr.. Gould had often, told
Mr.. Ingalls, that he would send freight
over the big Four" but had failed &c
do SO. The trouble probably was Gou.

grave to cause a hurriedly called consul

No One Would Talk.
He said in answer to question as to
whether matters had assumed a serious
phase in Chilli, that he could not say
anything on the subject. To a jocular
question il war had been declared he
said, ..No." Commodore Ramsey would
say nothing about the subject Of the
conference, and Private Secretary Hal

thing out of the ordinary was going ON
in the adjoining room occupied
by the president as his Office.
