SIX KILLED OUTRIGHT.
Chicago Express Runs Into Freigh
Tram at Shreve, o.

Chicago Express Runs Into a Freight
Tram at Shreve, o.
WOOSTER, O., Sept. 21.-The Chicago
express train crashed into a freight
train on the Fort Wayne road at
Shreve, o., this morning. Six were
killed outright, four are missing and
eight weae seriously injured. Others
were slightly hurt.
The Chicago express, known as train
No. s, ran into the first section of freight
train No. 70. The express was ap-
preaching at full speed when the freight,
which had been lying on a siding, sud-
denly pulled on to the main track in
front of it. Before either train could
stop, they had collided. 1t is thought
the engineer of the freight train did not
understand his orders.
Both engines were ditched and ground
into a shapeless mass. They were fol-
lowed by six cars of the express, in
"lnding the postal car, two express cars,
rhe baggage car, the smoker and o:o
coach, together with five of the freight
cars.
The express train was due in this city
at :35 AN. 1t will take nearly all day
to clear the tracks of the wreck. The
passengers on No. SWere transferred to
another train. and arrived here this after
noon. Others were transferred to the
New York, Pennsylvania & Ohio road.
The cars wrecked were five freight
cars, one postal car, two express cars,
one baggage car and two coaches. The
wrecked cars were totally destroyed by
fire. One coach and the sleeping cars
on the express train were not wrecked
nd 10 10 foo 4
the missing persons persisted in the
flames.
The force of the collision must have
been terrific, as the postal, express and
smoking cars were completely tele-
seoped. There were five clerks at
work in the postal car, and four were
instantly killed and the fifth one
was fatally injured. The fire
communicated from the fre-box of the
engine to the postal car, and in a short
time the car was blazing mass. From
the postal car the flames swept to the
two express cars, and before the
passengers succeeded in checking
the fiery element the baggage
car, the smoker and day coach were
reduced to ashes. The only cars that
escaped the flames were the three Pull
man coaches and special car which was
attached to the rear.
1t is not known whether or not any
Pullman sleeper passengers were in
jured, as the reports sent out make no
reference to Pullman passengers. The
Pullman cars were not wrecked, and it
is thought the passengers escaped.
Attached to the rear of the Pullman
cars was the Fort Wayne pay car, which
was being brought back to this city from
Chicago. There were two clerks in
charge of the car, but both escaped in
jury, though they were badly shaken
up.
The injured passengers were removed
to hastily-improvised hospitals at Woos-
ter and Shreve and were given the best
of attention. The passengers who were
able to travel were brought to Alliance
for breakfast and were brought through
to Pittsburg on a special train at 2
o'clock this afternoon.

Sjeletz, to-day made a fierce attack on
certain officials who had been sent to
the place by the order Of the govern

wild and baseless rum ors that the officials
intended to poison all patients who
were suffering from the disease, and
that in their haste to get the bodies out
Of the way they would bury the victims
before life had actually departed.
When it was learned that the dreaded

ing windows and doors, loudly threaten
ing to take the lives of the officials.
Matters grew so serious that the author
tiles were asked for help. A body of

in ejectment and was brought by Gil
more Scranton against E. S. Wheeler.
Wheeler is the superintendent of the

ton owns a good deal of land along
the ST.. Mary's River. He brought
the suit against Wheeler, claim
ing that the lighthouse pier extended
over his land, crossing his riparian
lines, and laid his damages at $50, 900.
His claim was based on the ground that
he owns to the center of the river.
The case was decided in favor of
the government by Judge Sew
erens on the ground that the
government has paramount rights
over the navigable waters of the
country; that the ST. Mary's River is q
very Important river for state and inter-
state business; that the rights of the
plaintiff are subordinate to those OF the
government, especially when the works

The Complaints of Business Men in
Proper Hands,
The editorial in the NelOS yesterday con.
cerniIg the HERALD's crusade against the
pernicious company store system in town
by which legitimate business men are made
to suffer is worthy of response in one par
ticular and only so far as it may enlighten
the public. The HERALD opened the
crusade upon the solicitation of business
men nho asked that it be done to publicly
call the attention of the p. s. r. O. & L.
Co to the matter, They stated that when
the company appointed the proper parties
to investigate they would tell all they
knew about the system. The HERALD
first satisfied itself that there was just cause
for complaint and then opened fire. What
was the result 2 Last week Superinten-
dent John Veith paid visit to town. He
called upon several of the complaining
business men to learn their grievances.
Some of them funked (the town is full Of
funkers) but there we're others more hon.
orable who stood by their declarations and
told Mr.. Veith frankly and plainly the
grounds for their complaints, as set forth in
the HERALD weeks ago. And these parties
also fulfilled their duty of honor to the
HERALD by giving the names of the
parties who left their stores, the Feasoni
they gave for leaving, and the stores tC
which they transferred their patronage Sc
the matter stands. The HERALD kept III
promise TO the legitimate business men th'
honorable complainants have placed th'
facts where they said they would when thu
proper time would arrive, and the whoi'
matter has been investigated by Mr.. Veith
There is nothing more to be said or don,
