O'Clock Saturday night on the South Car
olina railway. One man, the fireman,
named Parks, was buried under the ten

aud three passengers were seriously in

coaches, Pullman, and baggage car.
All were thrown down thirty-foot en-

the Pullman were badly wrecked.
Deliberate and Fiendish Deed.
There were upward of 200 passengers on
the train, and the light list of casualties
is regarded as miraculous. The wreck
was deliberately and skillfully planned.
One of the fish-bars joining the rails was
loosened, the bolts having been drawn,
and the spikes that held the rail were also
drawn The fish-bar and the wrench
used to remove the bolts were found ly.

points to the fact that this was the wof

AN ACCOUNT OF THE DISASTER.

The Engine of the Rear Train Flows Into
the Passenger Car.
When the engineer and fireman of the
Pere Marquette train saw that collision
was iuevitible they laid down in their
cab. The rear coach of the Lake Shore
was split in twain; the engine plowed
through until the roof of the car made
cover for the engine clear up to the cab.
The steam escaping in volumes hid the
wreck from the view of the big crowd
which had run out of the stores, saloons
and houses on the high bank along which
ran the street above. Miss Dolly Fisher,
the daug hter of Health Officer Fisher,
maddened by the pain of the scalding
steam, leaped from the window and was
cut and slightly bruised.
The Work of Rescue.
Help came Immediately, and the
wounded we're drawn out. One man,
Warren l. Potter himself slightly
scalded, attempted to pull Mrs. McCoign
from the car, and the flesh came off in
great shreds from the woman's arm. The
baby was scalded to death and taken out
of the smashed car cooked and blistered
mass of flesh, almost beyond recognition
as a human form. The engineer of the
Marquette train was new man on the
run. When found the lever was almost
perpendicular and not reversed. The
engineer could not be found, and the fire.

to the point and which strikes a
chord that will find ready re-
Spouse il the hearts of the Amer
lean people. We indorse every
word contained therein, and take
pleasure in laying before our read
ers the following extracts:
"The present time seems to be a
good one for definitely settling our
rel tons with Europe. The New
Orleans incident has been followed
by the Pennsylvania riot, in which
the surviving Italians, Hungari
ans and Slavs with one voice ap-
peal to their respective native
lands for redress against the coun-
try that has given them an asylum
and a living The tone Of Euro
peon press is arrogant and I'M
friendly. Signor D'Arco the Ital-
Under Secretary fer Foreign At
fairs, tells US that il our Constitu-
does not suit his Government we
must mend it. italian papers in
the United States, edited by men
who were born under the rule of a
swarm of despotic princelings, |
sneer at thatmarYelous instrument |
which Gladstone called the greatest
work ever struck off at any one
time by the hand and brain of man,
and under whose wise provisions
we have enjoyed liberty and order
for a hundred years.
Sat first this sort Of thing was
received with amused contempt,
but as it kept on the national feel
ing began to grow, first impatient
and then angry. 1t has reached
such a point now that the welfare
of our natualized fellow citizens
demands that they listen to some
/
eigners in the United States than
in any other country in the world
There are enough of them to con-
stitute Europeon nation of the
second class. In the strictest
sense of the term, they are enjoy
ing the hospitality Of this Govern
ment. We take them, as it were,
into our national home. We give
them work at three times the pay
they could have earned in their j
own country, and we let them take
part in the management of our af-
fair1 and the expenditure of our
taxes. We do not begrudge these
things, but we do insist that they
carry certain obligations. We
have not asked foreigners to come
ere to favor US; we allow them to
come as a favor to themselves, and
when they are here we demand
hat they shall not turn against
he country that shelters them.
The original merit Of the New
Orleans affair has now dropped quite

Which there are no divisions {

A MEETING of the Business Mems AS
ISOLATION was held at the city council
rooms on Tuesday afternoon which was
quite well attended. Considerable work
was done in the way of discussion and
outlining the future action of the Assoc
citation. 1t was the unanimous opinion
of those present that the Association
be continued and if possible interest
every one in the city in it to such an
extent as to make it a potent factor in
the advancement of the city. A commit.
tee consisting OF L. Haley, John Nagle.
NJ. H. Murphy, E.ni! Baensch and J. j.
Schneider was appointed to visit the pro-
fessional and business men in the city
and If possible secure their cooperation
and active support. The mama of the
Association was changed to that of 'sThe
Manitowoc Improvement Association"
There are several matters likely to
arise soon having relation to the future
OF the city on which it will be advisable
to have united action. 1t is not only
proper but aluloe. imperative that there
be some organization through which the
people can give expression of their vievs
in sone authoritative way. For this
reason if for no other an association OF
the kind mentioned should be supported.
