Local freight train No. 92 was two

full stop at the crossing of the Milwau-
lSee road is considered sutfi-
cient safeguard against rear-end acci-
dents. While the local was backing up
slowly to bring freight car opposite
the depot the through freight swung
around n sharp turn and crashed into
it. The train was running 20 miles an
hour In the caboose of the local
freight were ten or twelve section men
going to their work, and also one trav-
cling man. Several others were maxi
ing their way to board the same train,
and thus narrowly escaped.
The dead as they We're taken from
the wreck and carried to the platform

were literally cut and ground to pieces
Others with great holes bored through
their bodies, while one mans heart
was exposed. Citizens assisted in the
work of rescue, but many We're too

Eleven employees from both trains
are under arrest, and will be held pend

WASHINGTON, Sept. 22.-Rain began
to fall soon after 10 o'clock yesterday
morning, not heavily, but in sufficient
volume toput a temporary damper upon
many projected features of the day.
The first incident of the day was the
parade of the Union veterans at 10
o'clock. About 1,500 vets braved the
elements, commanded by Gen. Green c.
Smith. The parade formed on Pennsyl-
vania avenue and Tenth street and
marched past the reviewing stand at the
treasury department, where the veter-
ans were reviewed by Vice President
Morton, District Commissioner Ross and
Commandcr-in-Chief Yoder and staff.
The line then broke ranks and dispersed
about the city.
The business feature of the day was
the official meetings of the national en-
campment which took place at AL
haugh's opera house. Commander-in-
Chef Palmer was escorted 10 the place
of meeting in the drizzling rain by the
Union Veteran corps and the "Old
Guard,' of Washington. At the time
the streets were filed with bedrag-
glcd crowd that in vain sought shelter
under awnings and in doorways

the encampment to order and presented

Make an Assignment. ~
BosToN, Sept. 27.-Henry Poor &
Son, leather merchants for sever
nj generations under the same
firm name, at 60 South street, have
assigned to Edward ii. Dunn,
of Dunn, Green & Co. The immediate
cause of the assignment was the burn
ing of their tannery at Winn, Me-, the
latter part of August, which delayed
their delivery of leather and made it
difficult to borrow money to
meet maturing obligations The
liabilities amount to about $275,-
600 and the assets to near
ly $5OO,OOO, consisting largely of
property in and about the tanneries
of the firm in Penobscot county, Maine.
1t is expected that an arrangement will
be made by which the firm will soon
resume business.
