FOUR TRAINS PILED UP.

Rapid Succession of Crashes at East
Thompson, Conn.
PROVIDENCE. r. l., Dec. Am extraor-
binary accident occurred at East Thomp-
son, Conn, on the New York e. New Eng
land railroad main line early this morning.
-Four trains, two freights and two passen-
gers, were piled up in ndescribable con-
fusion within less than five minutes and
three lives were lost, while several persons
we're seriously injured. one of whom may
die. The passenger trains were the Nor
wich boat train and the Long Island and
eastern states express. Both engineer and
fireman of the Long Island express were
killed and an unknown passenger was
burned to death. A local south bridge
freight pulled out about two O'Clock
from East Thompson station, on the west
bound track. There was a heavy fog. Sud-
denly a special freight bound for Boston on
the west track crashed into the local aud a
long pile of freight cars blocked both east
and w~est-bound tracks. The train hands
had scarcely recovered from the wreck
when there was another whistle and in an
instant another terrific crash. This time it
was the Long Island express, which was be-
hind time. The engine struck the wreck
age and tipped over. Engineer Harry
Iaber n his fireman. Jerry Fitzg erald,
we're Instantly killed, Taber being beheaded.
The boat train usually goes ahead of the
express but this morning it was late and
was held at Putnam. After the
express passed it stated at a high rate
OF speed. At the scene of the wreck some of
the tralnmen snatched a flag and run back.
but the engineer of the boat train did not
see the man until within 100 feet of the
wreck. He reversed his engine, but on the
air brake, and with his fireman jumped.
The engine of the boat train went half
throught the Pullman car on the rear of
fha 1 nnnr 1 q TlI nyNrnnc rhsJ1 Ai- l--
telescoped the baggage car behind. There
were but few passengers on either train and
all but one escaped with slight injuries.
An unknown IN the Pullman car was
burned to death in the wreckage. Engineer
Wild and Fireman Boyce, of the freight
train, were seriously hurt. The other train
men, like the passengers. escaped with
slight injuries.

MOsCO WIS OPAL MINES.
A Great Industry to Develop From tho
Rich Finds.

A Great Industry to Develop From tho
Rich Finds.
8. Frankei, of New York, president OF the
North American Gem Opal company, of
this city, says the Moscow, Idaho, Star.
and one Of the heaviest dealers in precious
stones in the United States. sailed for Eu-
rope, having in his possession about 5000
carats of opals that were mined three and
one-haf miles from here, valued at from
$50 to $50 per carat, which he will dispose
OF, and will also float $4,000 worth of the
company's stock there. The opals which
he has with him are the result of the COM
pany's operations since August-pood nav
for the work. surely!
The field where the mine is located has
been prospected thoroughly, and it ali
shows up as we'll as the present prospect.
The idea, therefore, is apparently to get
the wealthiest capitalists Of the United
Stated and Europe interested and develop
the industry on a gigantic scale. II is not
at az improbable that Moscow may yet be-
come the opal mining center of the United
States-cr possibly the whole world.
