Fast Express on the Burlington Road
Wrecked While Making Fifty
Miles an Hour.
Four Persons Instantly Killed and
Fifty or More Severely Cut
and Bruised.
Little Doubt But the Wreck Was
Planned by Some One Whose Mo-
tive Was Revenge.

MONMOUTH, Ills, Oct. 22.-The Bur-
hngton Express was wrecked at this
place at 11:15 o'clock p. m. Four people
were killed, four others seriously in
jured and dozxns of others received
severe cuts and bruises. The train was
fifteen minutes late at Galesburg and
Conductor Hughes laughingly blamed
the engineer for the lost time. "All
right" said the engineer, "hold on to
your hat going through Riggsville.
But the train never reached that point.
Just east of here is a straight stretch of
track little bit down grade and the
engine was going at rate of
About Fifty Miles an Hour,
when the switch leading to the track of
the Monmouth Mining and Manufac-
turing company was reached. 1t had
been thrown by some one and left in
that position with the target light extin-
guished. When the train left the main
track and started ON to the siding Engi-
neer Emery reversed his engine and
stuck to his post, but the engine left the
track after running few feet on the
siding, and all of the seven cars with
the exception of the rear one, Pullman
sleeper, went into the ditch. Engineer
Emery, Travelling Engineer Courtney
and Fireman Peter Anderson
Went Down With the Engine.
The two engineers were killed Instantly
and the firemen is fatally injured and
cannot long survive Those in the
smoking car escaped with their lives
Standing on the steps of the next ca,
We're two students of Hsdding college
Frank L. Johnson, of Avon, and w. r
Hardin, of abingdon. They jumped
and johnson was killed by a blow OF
the head from flying timber. Sitting
| midway in TIE car was George Allen
wife and child, of Lamont, Ia. Mrs
Allen was killed instantly and the child
seriously injured. 1t is little short of /
miracle that anybody escaped alive. Th
windows were broken by the shock
There is no doubt that the wreck wa
deliberately planned by some one who's
motive was either cupidity or revenge

Cut In Sugar Prices.

New YORK, Oct. 22.-War has been
declared between the Franklyn Sugar
Refining company, of Philadelphia, and
the American Sugar Refining company,
of New York. The Philadelphia refiners
made q cut in prices last Friday, The
New York people met the cut Tuesday
and granulated declined 3-16c. Further
decline is looked for. The only reason
assigned for the cut is that holders had
big stocks and wanted to unload. The
market is demoralized.

burning Acids at Cleveland.

CLEVELAND, Oct. 22.-Fire broke out
in large four-story building at the cor

$50 a. M, and loss of 100000 re-
suited. The upper floor of the block
was occupied by the Oxidized Acid COM

this department, as the result of spon-
taneous combustion. Acids deposited
in big tanks on the top floor caused a
series of terrific explosions, and scattered
bricks, stones and timbers in all direc.
tions.
