FATAL SELECTING ACCIDENT.
Party Run Into by q Train-Nfne
Persons Killed and Eleven Injured


AItt VI hhc sACtihhbs
ST. LOUIS, Jan. 20.-A party of twenty
two started out little before six o'clock
last evening to enjoy the sleighing fur
nished by the recent heavy fall of snow.
The bodies of eight are now in the morgue,
and nearly all the rest are in the hospital.
The party was made up of members of the
Clover Leaf Fishing club, q social organi-
cation. They were all in one convey
ance, a large sleigh drawn by four
horses. After a two hours' drive they
went to the Delmonico, road house near
Forest Park, for luncheon, after which the
party reassembled at 1890 o'clock to return
home. Fifteen minutes after leaving the
Dslmonico, at the Sarah street crossing Of
the Wabash railroad, the accident occur
red. A special train chartered by local
Legion of Honor lodge was returning from
Ferguson, thirteen miles cut. The train, in
charge of James Blanchfeld, engineer,
and Robert Dalton, conductor, was moving
at the rate of twenty-five miles an hour,
tender first. Owing to this last fact the
engineer did not see the sleighing party
until fairly upon them. The tender
struck between the pole horse and the
sleigh, killing two of the horses and
throwing the occupants out of the sleigh
in every direction. Two of the injured
were afterwards found on top of the cab.
The train was stopped within 800 yards
of the crossing and returned to the scene,
where the Legion of Honor excursionists
aided in gathering up the dead and
wounded. By this time the mounted police
of the district were on hand. The dead
and wounded were placed upon the train
and taken to the Union depot, whence the
wounded were taken to st. Mary's infrma-
ry and the dead to the morgue.
All the dead but one have been identi-
fed. A corrected list follows: Andrew
Stephenson, colored, driver, said TO have
been ground to pieces; F. G. Schraffle,
George Edds, Albert Miller, Frederick Neu-
bert, Augustus Neubert, William Krone. E.

Tales OF Starvation-A whole Town
Waiting for Death

LONDON, Jan. 20.-The Standards cor.
respondent at ST. Petersburg says: THE
male inhabitants of Tcheliabinsk are lear-
ing by hundreds to avoid seeing their fam
lilies starve to death. The unburied
carcasses of horses and cattle lie
in every direction, together with
human bones. The only food left is dry
mixed herbs. A traveller from that local
ity says that hardly anybody appeared to
have psrtaken of food for three days be-
fore his visit and that all were expecting
death. The whole village took the last
sacrament together"

The Springside ambulance was sent after
a sick woman on Hamilton street about
o'clock yesterday afternoon. Ned HArri-

but they got hilariously drunk and could
not find their way home. The horses wan

into the woods back of it. Superintendent
Sanford notified the police at station No.
about 8 O'Clock About 10 o'clock Officer
Pickering found the horses and men in the
woods back of the old slmshouse. BE had
been sent by Sergeant Woodruff and was
about to give up the search when he found
them. The men were so stupid from cold
and liquor that it could not be learned
whether the woman had been taken from
Hamilton street, but it was learned from
another source that she had not and Was
consequently not lost as was thought.

TRAVERSE CITY, Mich, Jan. 20.-The
wells at the water-works and the electric
plants here gave out simultaneously Nom
day night. The lake shore was entirely
bare for fully 100 feet from its usual line,
and steamboat docks were high and dry on
the candy beach. The waters had fallen just
ak and q half feet, as though an earthquake
shock or great tidal wave had swept them
from the bay For fully an hour the city
was in total darkness, and many towns
people assembled at the beach and upon
the docks to view the curious phenome-
non. The waters rushed back with terrific
force.
Once before the water in the bay fell ave
and q half feet in two days. As no strong
breeze was blowing from of shore, the mys-
terry seems inexplicable.

There is always somebody who is just o
trifie too late 1t is certainly interesting Ii
not instructive to the other fellows Yet
it is an incident OF every minute in the
metropolis. where life is a daily and mo-
mentary scramble.
You see it illustrated more or less hui
morously every time you take an elevated
train, every time ferryboat leaves its slip,
every time n limited express or any other
train pulls out of = station. every time an
ocean steamer leave. her pier There is
always somebody rushing up and down at
the last moment franticaily waving hands
or yelling, just in time to be left behind.
Ask the scornful but vigilant officials.
Scarcely an elevated train leaves IA plat
form but one or more persons, male or fe-
male, dash up the stairs and fly past the
ticket window, and at the risk of life or
limb attempt to board it. And how ludi-
crously angry and disappointed they lookl
Another train is within sight, due in one
or two minutes; hut that doesn't alter the
matter-it aSgravates it, Just as your
ferryboat leaves the slip there is always
somebody who runs the gauntlet of the
man gates, comes tearing down the drive
way, with or without "A ticket. and, with Il
wild whoop, tries TO leap the rapidly yawn-
ing gulf between the bridge and the deck.
There is another boat in five or ten min
utes, but what of that? The bitterness of
being too late warrants the risk.-New
