DEvILIsH TRAIN wREcNNG WORE
But Miracuously No One Is Seriously Hurt
Paying a Grudge

Paying a Grudge.
BIRMINGHAM, Ala, Sept. 23.-Seveu
miles from Springvifle, this state, an Ell
press train was derailed by train wreckers
and a horror narrowly escaped. The wreck
occurred on a curve and embankment. One
end of the rail had been displaced by re-
moval Of fish-plates; near by lay tools
which had been stolen from the tool house
at Springv vile and with which the rails
had been taken up, The engine leaped
from the track down the embankment.
In so doing the engineer and fireman were
hurled away out Of all danger: The postal
and baggage cars were piled on top of the
engine and were crushed like egg shells.
The express messenger was imprisoned in
wreckage, but got out unhurt.
The train being vestibuled none of the
coaches or sleepers, of which there were
five, turned over. The train was full of
people coming from the Worlds fair, but
Of all these none was hurt. Fireman
Walter Waite had his shoulder blade
broken; Engineer Frawley, hurt in shoul-
der and eye cut; Postal Clerk j. S. Stock
ton, badly cut in head; Flagman Tom
Bailey, hurt in back; Porter Howell, cut.
Superintendent Frazer and Sheriff Nor
row are at the scene of the wreck with dogs
following the trail OF supposed wreckers.
1t is thought the wreckers had a grudge
against the road on account of some law
suits or something of the kind

THOMPSON, THE BRAKEMAN, GONE
Gets Ont of the Way When He Sees the
Result of His Mistake

Where Thompson, the brakeman who
caused the wreck, is nobody knows.
When Engineer Whitman had succeeded
in extricating himself from the debris Of
the meat car into which he had been
driven by the force Of the collision he
found Thompson on the track as pale as a
ghost and trembling in every fibre.
What have you done?" demanded the en-
gineer, whose right arm hung helpless at
his side while the blood poured from cut
in his head.
81 must have left that switch open,n
was Thompson's reply, and without an
other word he took to his heels and dis.
appeared on the side of the wreck.
Half an hour later he put in an appear
ance at the Genther farm house. two miles
south, and asked for something to eat.
saying by way of explanation that a wreck
had occurred during the night over toward
kingsbury; that be had been tagging for
hours and that he was completely worn
out The family hastened to set the table,
but after swallowing cup of coffee he
seized his hat and left the house, exclaim-
ing as he did so that he had to notify the
officials of the road. Instead of returning
toward Kingsbury, however, he took the
pike for Stillwell, five miles below that
point and through which several trains
over the Wabash, Grand Trunk and Lake
Erie and Western pass during the day.
The principal officials of the road were
very early on the scene. Superintendent
G. A. Gould, of the Wabash eastern di-
vision, said: "The accident is a deplorable
one, but at the same time it cannot be at
tributed to any lack of system or of man
agement. There is nothing to conceal; no
blame to be shelved to other shoulders. It
is simply a case of one mans error and its
consequences. 1t cannot be said that
Thompson was overworked, for his run
covered but $50 miles, or from Ashley to
Chicago. Our rules and instructions ad-
NIT of no misapprehension, and the whis-
tie signals of the first section of the express
were clearly understood by the crew of
the freight"
Fireman John Barber, of the passenger
train, who miraculously escaped serious
injury although he stuck to his post, SAYS
that he saw nothing to indicate that the
line was not clear until they were on the
switch. A few moments before he had
coaled up. and putting his head outsid.
of the cab as he passed the station he saw
the freight on the siding about six car
lengths ahead. A moment later and he
realized that they had jumped from the
main track over the switch.
The report from Peru is that several Of
the injured will die.

sshckIng compartment ana sections one

been trimmed with razor edged axe
The forward coaches were completely
wrecked and the occupants buried in the
debris
Awakened by the shock of the collision
the sleepers in the rear palace car poured out
without waiting to don the clothing they
had discarded the night before, and aided
by the trainmen and those of the passen-
gers that had escaped injury set them
selves to the task of rescuing and aiding
the injured. In the meantime the resi-
dents of the farm houses Immediately ad-
jacent to the track had been awakened,
and men and women, boys and girls, hur-
riad to the scene and lent what assistance
they could. Most of the dead and injured
were in the two forward day coaches, and
these were so completely wrecked that the
work of extricating the dead and dying
was a comparatively easy one.
One after another the lifeless forms were
brought out of the heap of timber and
placed in row on the west side of the
track, while the injured were carried to
the meadow on the east side and cared for
by the villagers. In the meantime news
of the catastrophe had been wired to La
Porte, Westville, Union Mills and Michi-
gan City and other points within a radius
of score of miles, and within a COM
paratively short time scores of buggies,
wagons and vehicles of every description
were at the scene. In these the injured
were conveyed to the farm houses and resi-
dences of the ne;ghborhood, the doors Of
which were thrown wide open by the occu-
pants, the latter devoting themselves to
the temporary relief of the sufferers pend
ir0 the arrival Of acSistanoa
Later all Of the injured were taken to
Peru on special train and cared for at the
hospital maintained by the Wabash road.
The remains of the dead were encased at
Weir's undertaking rooms at La Porte in
chestnut caskets covered with black cloth
and with elaborate oxidized silver trim
mings, and will be forwarded 10 their late
homes. The three English boys belonged
to a company known as tDr. Bernardo's
Musical Troupe, n from the London Orphan
asylum conducted by that noted phil
anthropist. They had been booked for a
concert at the headquarters of the Ep
worth league, Just outside the Worlds fail
grounds, on Friday evening.
The inquest on the remains Of the vic
Tins of the accident has been opened by
Coroner \. V. Cole, of Michigan City. A
jury composed of residents of the neigh.
borhood was impaneled, and after the
bodies had been viewed and identified by
the papers or articles found on their cloth
ing an adjournment was taken to the
! residence of H. z. Ellsworth. Here the
remains of Mr.. Roundys, of Iowa, were
identified and an adjournment was agreed
| upon until this morning. Roundys, who
was e. years old, was caught in the day
coach when it was telescoped by the bag
gage car and his head flattened on both
sides Beloy the neck he was uninjured.

What it Cost to Discover Us.

An exchange finds time to Go some
thing with these iacts: "Some one
has figured up the cost of the expedi-
ton jn which Columbus discovered
America. Queen Isabella gave 1,140,-
900 marasedis, equal 10 about 81, ,296.
1t must be remembered, however,.that
she had to sacrifice her jewels to OBJ
tain even that sum. This, we suggest,
was perhaps due to the fact that at
that period the church, and the Ro-
mans church dominated Christendom,
forbade the lending of money on in
terest, and funds could not be borrowed
then as now. Hence to raise even
small amount of cash was great
undertaking. Even as late as the
Great Armada, after Raleigh had set
tied Roanoke Island, Queen Eliza
beth had but a dozen small vessels,
the British feet that destroyed the
Armada being furnished by the trad
ing towns of the kingdom merely for
that occasion. But to return to COL
umbus' expedition, his pay was $3.50 a
year. His three captains had an an
nual salary of Sl92; his polots Sl20 to
$3.50. The doctor $3.50. While the
sailors got two dollars and half
month and their keep. Such was the
compensation of the daring mariners
who made the perilous voyage.

A COSTLY WRECK.
The Il & u. Obtain Compromise of the
Bostian Bridge Case.
From y. G.. Paper.]

All the suits against the Richmond
and Danville Railroad, growing out of
the wreck at Bostian bridge, near
Statesville, on the 9th of August, 1891,
in which 81 persons were killed and
80 wounded, have been compromised.
The Statesville Landmark says there
were Is of these cases in Iredell Supe-
rior Court and the following amounts
allowed in each case:
Death claims-J. C. Brodie, $1,000;
w. NJ. Houston, $1,000; Chas. G.Web-
er, $1,000; Miss Ophelia Polk Moore,
$1,000; Mrs. Susan Pool, 1000; Hugh
K. Linster, 81, 500; A. Davis, 81, 200;
Rev. J. NJ. Skies, 1000.
Claims for injuries-J. F. Holler,
$1,000; Mrs. Naomi Hayes Moore,
$500; Miss Louallie Pool, $500; O.
W. Lawson, 5000; G. w. Bowley,
$1,000.
There were number of suits entered
at Asheville, Salisbury and other places.
We understand that all Of these have
been compromised.
The Lexington Dispatch understands
that A. L. Sink and wife have been al
lowed $1,000. The case was in David
son Superiour Court. We have not
learned what amounts were allowed in
the other cases, but it is safe to say that
the wreck, first and last, cost the Rich
mond and Dauville Railroad at least
100000.

The Truth-Tell 1t Again.

These sensible views, quoted from an
anonymous paper, We give az our own
most decided sentiments and hereby
beseech the public to bear them in
mind:
"a local newspaper Is often accused
of bias in regard to giving personal no.
tees, commenting on the coming and
going of some and omitting others.
The accusation is very wrong and .un-
just. 1t is with the people and lot the
editor. He is always willing and even
anxious to tell who comes and goes, if
he can find out; but country paper
cannot afford to have score of sala-
ried reporters. If you have visitors, let
US know who they are and where they
came from; if anything happens in
your community, let US know all about
it; if you know anything tell US all
about it. You will find US as ready to
notice one as another, patron or other
wise, friend or foe."

JIM CROW CAB CASE.
This Time the Verdict was In Favor OF the
Railroad Company.

. -. 4aI q .ss-
NEW ORLEANS, La, April 2Z.--Judge
Theard, in the Civil District Court, de-.
iivered a decision yesterday in Jim
Crow car case. Sheriff Brousard Of.
Lafayette Parish sued the Illinois Cen--
tral Railroad for $4,000 damages for
election from one of the trains of that
company. The court decided against
him. He bought two first class tickets
for the purpose Of taking crazy negro
prisoner to the negro asylum at jack
son, La. He placed his prisoner 10.
the smoking section of the white. car,
and the sheriff, who was ill, went into
the non-smoking section. The con-
ductor told him he would have to take
his prisoner into the colored car or else.
sit with him in the smoking section,
common to both races. Brousard OBJ
jected and he and bis prisoner were
elected. The court held, with the con-
ductor, that the law did not discr;mi-
nate, except in favor of colored nurses
of white children, and as the railroad
company was subject to penalty if it
violated the law, the conductors action
was justifable. The question of con-
venience was one for the Legislature,
and the suit was dismissed.
