NkEYED WITH THE BRAKES.

eraI People.

Which Nearly Caused the Death of Sew
era1 People.
CHICAGO, July 25. A large crowd of
colored people were assembled at the
Grand Central depot this morning bound
for picnic at Columbia park. The plat
forms of the depot were jammed when a
swith engine pulled in on the western
track having in tow the
Baltjmnre and Ohio passenger train.
People who were on the platform say the
engine was running twelve miles an hour.
As he approached the end of
the track, which terminated in front
of the platform, engineer
Williams applied the air
brakes to stop the train, but for some
reason they mad no effect. He then re-
versed the engine and tried thus to stop,
but the momentum of the heavy train be-
hind carried him ahead. The train
crashed through the bumper and into the
platform, striking down number of peo-
pie.
The greatest confusion ensued, and some
of the colored men wanted to lynch En-
gineer Williams but the police rescued
him.
Nearly twenty people were more or less
seriously hurt, and two of them, Mrs.
Dina Carr and &. Young, will probably
die. Engineer Williams asserts that he
was only running six miles an hour, and
and says some one must have tempered
with the valve Of the air brakes.

ST. PAUL, Mimi, July 26.-The Town
Of Iron River, forty miles east OF West
Superior, on the Northern Pacific road,
was wiped off the face of the earth by
fire late yesterday afternoon. The en-
tire business district and depot build.
ings of the Northern Pacific and Duluth,
South Shore & Atlantic railroads were
burned, together with most of the resi-
dence district, The loss is roughly
estimated at 5000, 900. The fire origin
ated in store building two blocks
south of the Northern Pacific depot.
The big sawmills, half mile from
town, escaped.
AS soon as it became evident that the
town was doomed all efforts were di-
rected to saving personal effects. The
1,500 inha bitants are in the smoking
streets without shelter or food. A
train of freight cars was sent out by
the Northern Pacific company in which

The town was practically without
fire protection. The Superior fire de.
partment was summoned, but before
they got out of town were recalled by
q message stating that it would be too
late for service. Many Superior people
are heavy losers. The town of Iron
River was practically built this sum-
mer. It was mill town and was
growing rapidly.
A telegram was sent to the Ashland
fire department from Iron River for aid
before the wires were disabled. A
special train has been waiting at Ash
land to go to Iron River as soon as
trains coming West have reported. No
communication can now be had with
the burned city. Nothing direct has
been received since o'clock, but the
great volumes of smoke could be seen
from Ashland.
Dispatches received in a roundabou
way countermanded the order for aid
at $50 o'clock. The Northern Pacific
and also the Duluth, South Shore &
Atlantic have large forces of workmen
put to work fighting the flames. The
city was built up within the last few
months and consisted mostly of wooden
structures which burned like finder
with a strong south wind to fan them.
No trains have arrived from Duluth.
It is presumed they are held at the
burning city by the damaged track.
MARQUETTE, Mich, July 26.-Iron

At midnight the fire was under control
