LAFAYETTE, ind, May S.-One of
the most horrible wrecks in the his
Try of railroading occurred on the
Big Four yesterday morning, in which
ten people were killed and many in
jnred. The train was the east-bound
passenger, leaving Chicago at 9 p. m.
The accident was caused by the failure
of the air brakes to work. The en-
ginesr undoubtedly discovered this
before reaching the cut beyond the
Wabash river. as vigorous whistling
of the engineer for brakes could be
heard when the train was stiH mile
west of the city. The engineers des-
perate effort to stop the train was
shown by the large amount OF sand
thrown by him in the bridge through
which the tram came just before the
fatal crash. The engine dashed
out of the bridge over the Wa
bash river at a speed not less than
sixty miles per hour, crashing into
the depot building and carrying por-
ton of the depot and the train sheds
several hundred feet. The engine
left the track, and the baggage car,
two postal cars and the express car
piled in one promiscuous mass, total
and promplete wreck, burying score
or more victims in the awful pile of
debris. The trucks of the first day
coach were dragged out the side of
the car was knocked into fragments,
but no passengers were injured. The
chair car and two Pullman sleepers
remained on the track The wreck
was most complete, the engine and
cars being torn in pieces and piled
together with their contents. Fire
broke out from a stove in the baggage
car. hut the fire department
speedily extinguished the flames.
Several victims of the
wreck were persons standing
in the depot waiting for the
train. The killed are: Michael

WASHINGTON. May 12.-Immigrant
Inspector Conkling in an official re
port made to the treasury department
as the violation of the alien contract
labor law, among other statements,
says: The padrone system is the
most damnable, outrageous and in
furious to American workingmeE of
any system that was ever practiced
in the United States and there is no
denying the fact that it exists in al
most every city of this country where
there is an Italian colony The re-
port details how Italian laborers are
brought to the country, coached and
instructed on the journey over, so
that when they arrive. by false swear
ing. they evade the inspectors. They
have no conscientious scruples about
periuring themselves, and will swear
to anything necessary to accomplish
their discharge, in case they are de-
tanned. These aliens, are of the very
worst element-vicious and hard to
control. dangerous to the community
near which they reside, and are semi
british in their manners and habits.

was made up they boarded it. All
were in good spirits, apparently, the
old chief smiling as he proceeded to
the coach After being seated few
minutes with his interpreter, William

up his right arm to his head, pulled
his hat over his face and at the same
time placed his left hand on his breast,
coughed lightly and expired.
