ST. LOUIS, Jan. PA wreck which is
one Of the most appalling and disastrous
that has occurred in years occurred be-
tween Wann and Alton Junction, Ills,
this morning. The c. c. c. & st. L.
(Big Four southwestern limited passen-
ger train, consisting of an engine and
four coaches, which left here this morn
ing for the east, ran into an open switch
a half mile north of Wann and crashed
into a train consisting of seven tank cars
standing there. The result was a fire and
afterward an explosion which had already
cost the lives of six persons and fatally in
jured nineteen more, while fully fifty
more are suffering from painful burns,
and caused great property loss to the
company.
The Southwestern limited was due at
Wann at S:45. There are no side tracks
there, but about half mile beyond, at
Alton Junction. are several switches.
The tender of these switches, P. Grattan
by name, is also barber, upon whom is
laid the blame by railroad officials and
trainmen for the accident, and officers
are now searching for him as he fed dur
ing the excitement following the dual ac-
cident.
The train reached Wann twelve minutes
late and at Alton Junction was running
at the rate of forty miles per hour, the en-
gineer being DESTROYS of making up lost
time. The switch was so turned as to
send the flying train onto one of the side
tracks. On the track was seven tank
cars filed with refined lubricating oil.
The engineer called to fireman Dick
White to jump for his life.
He then reversed the air brake, but was
too late. The engine crashed entirely
through two tanks, splitting them in
half, and then forged entirely over the
others.
Oils from the wrecked tanks at once
caught fire and a sea of flames instantly
surrounded the engineer, who jumped
just as the pilot OF the engine struck the
first tank. The brave man struggled to
the embankment at one side of the track,
but as soon as he reached it he sank to
the earth crisp and blackened corpse.
The fireman escaped with slight bruises.
The engineers action in reversing the
engine and applying brakes slackened
the speed of the traiu sufficiently to pre-
vent any serious injury TO the passengers
on the train, of whom there were about
sixty. The flames spread to the other
coaches from the baggage car and all were
soon in ruins. Three oil tanks together
with the engine and tender were also con-
sumed.
Passengers and villagers crowded

THE ELECTORAL COLLEGE.
Fourteen States Have Failed to Comply
with the Law.

Fourteen States Have Failed to Comply
with the Law.
WASHINGTON, Jan. 21.-Certifcates of
all the state votes cast for president and
vice-president ought to be in the hands of
the president of the Senate by Monday
next. As matter of fact fourteen states
have failed so far to comply with the law
by sending on electoral certificates by
messengers, and many of those states
which complied with the law have done
SO in so slipshod a manner that if the late
election was in any way close, official as
certainment of the result under the con-
stitution and laws might have been made
almost impossible, and the whole gov
eminent might have been thrown into
chaos.
Many packages brought by messengers
had nothing on the outside to indicate
their contents. Two states sent their
votes to the president OF the United
States'' instead of the president of the
Secretary of State.'' 1t is marvel of
good luck that none of these packages
were torn open and thus rendered invalid.
Many states failed to indorse on these
packages what it contained. They may
contain the electoral vote, or they may
not. The president of the Senate has
only the word of the messengers to assure
him that these packages actually contain
the votes of the states as represented
Some one might have changed the pack
ages on them.
Senator Henderson of Nebraska, presi-
dent protein of the senate, in the absence
OF Vice President Morton, is the custo-
dian OF the electoral certificates He said
this afternoon, s'Ail the states have
transmitted electoral votes by mail and all
have been received by the president of the
senate. The following states have not yet
sent their electoral votes Oy messenger;

Republicans VIII be Compelled to Take
Dose of Their Own Medicine.
WASHINGTON, Jan .21.-When the NOM
nation of McComas to be district Judge
was called up in executive session OF the
Senate today rather stormy time ensued.
The debate was quite lively for time and
a number of Democratic senators admit
ted that the situation had resolved itself
into sort of political retaliation. They
recalled the fact that during the closing
days of the last administration Mr..
Cleveland nominated the present vice
president-e for the same Identical Of
fee and the Republicans held it up. This
was their opportunity to get even and
some senators were not backwards in ex-
pressing their intention OF doing so if it
was within the range OF possibilities.

tween 800 peasants and a party Of
gendarmes occurred at Termini, sea-

vacate they paid no attention to it, Upon
