ENGINEER STANLEY KILLED
Disastrous Wreck on the Illinois Com
tral Near Gaiena.

tral Near Gaiena.
CHICAGO, June 10. "A disastrous
wreck, in which one person was killed
and the lives of several others were
imperiled, occurred near Galena, Ill,
on the Illinois Central Railroad at an
early hour this morning. Shortly
after mi night wild freight pulled
out of Freeport toward the West. The
heavy rains of the preceding hours had
swollen the streams along the route of
the Illinois Central to twice their usual
size. So great was the fall of rain IN
the vicinity of Galena that the great
embanllment that walls the railroad
at what is known as Lead Switch,
just outside Galena, gave way
and completely buried the tracks.
About p. IN. the extra train from
Freeport came laundering along at a
rapid rate. To the east of Leadswitch
is sharp curve which prevented the
engineer and fireman of the freight
train from seeing their danger With
no warning of the fate that awaited
him Engineer Stanley ran his train
around the curve and into the huge
banks Of earth.
The engine and several freight cars
were thrown from the track and turned
over as they fell. Engineer Stanley
was caught beneath the locomotive
and crushed to instant death. Fire
man Schofcld managed to save himself
from the fate that befell his companion.
The conductor and trainmen had mar
row escapes from death.

ton of acquaintances with q smile.

tilted as 10 the general disorderly reputa-
ton of Mrs. Wren's house. and Dir. +. A. }.

brought out
In few minutes after the jury retired

ters as circumstances would admit. At a
late hour Mrs. Wren had made no effort &c
pay her fine and was still in the jail.
