DISPLAYED TRUE HERo1sst.

Conductor Coriltas, who died coon
after being taken from the wreck, dis
played true heroism. When relief ar-
rived he entreated his rescuers to leave
him alone and save the passengers. He
was at the moment OF that utterance in
the thsoes Of death. The calamity Is
attributable to Brakeman Herbert
Thompson's carelessness. he has dis
appeared, and all efforts to find him
have thus far been in vain.
The story OF the wreck and the cause
leading to it is thus told by Wabash
official and is the only correct version
thus far published: Vestibuled limited
train No. So from Detroit to Chicago
was running in two sections, and was
due to pass this station at 4:40 a. m,
Fast freight No. 90 was lying on the sid
ing here, waiting to let No. 55 pass.
The first section Of No. 55, about thirty
five or forty minutes late, passed at sos,
and by whistle called attention to the
freight flags they carried for the other
section. The engineer of the freight re.
piled that the flag was seen, but itseems
that brakeman Thompson did not notice
either the aignal or the flag, and went
ahead to open the switch for No. 90 to
leave. He had hardly done this before
the second section of No. 55 was seen
bearing down nupon him at speed Of,
perhaps fifty miles an hour.

ahead. Under the belief that the track
was clear the switch had been turned,
and down the track to certain destruc.

which there were $50 passengers uncon-

Joy TURNED INTO MOURNING.
Kingsbury, Ind, was to have had a
ball tonight, and the country society
for miles around the little place has
beens sexpectant for days awaiting the
social event Of the season.
Many of the young men and women
from the country had heard nothing Of
the disaster and arrived tonight in
their evening costumes, ready for a
night Of mirth and enjoyment. When
they reached the hall where the enter
tainment was to be given they
found black streamers and an an-
nouncement Of a postponement upon
the doors and we're soon listening,
horror struck, to the story of the
wreck. Some Of them returned to their
homes, but by far the greater number
remained to render what assistance
they could. Fair maidens in
dainty gowns Of pink and
white, their bouquets whitening
and their programmes untouched, are
fitting about the houses where the in.
jured lie, administering to the wants Of
the uniortpnates, while their escorts
are lending willing aid to the prepare.

rnoMpsoN WAS pu,LrouNpEp.

Thompson seems to have been par
alyzed. swerving to the left the pom
derous mass of steel, drawing its
precious load, lunged heavily into the
waiting freight train with o horrible
crash. Thompson rushed up to his
engineer, wringing his hands and cry
ing hysterically.
"For Gods sake, what have you
doneP asked theNengineer.
II don't know; turned that switch" i"
said the brakeman, and then recover
ing himself he dashed hurriedly away
into the semi-darkness and disap-
peared. The result of the crash was
fearful. The terrific impetus OF the
two mighty machines drove the tank
and cab Of the freight engine back into
car load OF dressed beef, the engineer
and fireman remaining in the cab, and,
by miracle, escaping with their lives.
Engine 473 OF the passenger train was
torn to pieces, tho smoker behind 1t
forced through the tank on top ot the
engine. The splinters killed Engineer
Green, and the escaping steam badly
scalded Fireman Barber.
WHERE THE MOST DEATHS OCCURRED.
In the smoker was where most Of the
fatalities occurred, and it being the
smoker accounta Tor the majority Of the
killed having been men. The scene
that ensued was awful. Nearly all the
passengers were asleep, and the sudden
ness OF the crash so daEed the untortu.

KISGsBURY, IND, Sept. GA fright.

morning on the Wabash road. About
5o'clock the esst-bOund freight, nun.

sections on number IS, west-bound pas
senger, to pass. When the first section
Of tho passenger train had passed, the
brakeman of number 92 opened the
switch to allow the freight to proceed on
to the main track. 1t is presumed that
he overlooked the signals, and before
tine error could be- corrected the second
section Of the fast express came along
at rate of fifty miles an hour, crashing
into the engine of the freight, which
was then yet on the side track. The
passenger was fortY-fye minutes late.
Besides a fearful loss OF life and a
number injured, both engines were to.
tally wrecked and two coaches, one bag
gage car and one sleeper were smashed
and splintered. The most OF the pas
sengers hurt were in the day cars. One
sleeper alone was not derailed. Fifteen
doctors were soon at the scene Of the
wreck, which was horrible in the ex-
treme. Superintendent Gould, of the
Wabash, also arrived shortly after the
wreck.
Among the frat names of the victims
learned were those OF Engineer Green,
Of Peru, Ind, and Conductor Coulter.
They were reported in a dying condi-
tion.

ruG MINNESOTA LEGISLATIVE
Looking After the Alum aud Ammonia
Baking Powders.
Portland oregonian.)

A bill for an act in relation to the manu-
faeture and sale of baking powders, to pre-
vent fraud and preserve the public health
has been introduced in the Legislature at
st Paul. The bin is intended to prevent
the atsulteration Of baking powders with
Alum or Ammonia, imposing proper penal
ties to enforce the law
DIR o s Dinswanger. Professor Chemistry.
ETC.. medical department University of Ore
gon. made an examination some time ago
OF the baking powders found in the Portland
stores: the result of which appeared in the
Oregonian. DIR Hinswhngs.r then expressed
himself as follows:
II have just finished am analysis of the
principal baking powders sold in this mar.
ket, with the following startling results:
Hercules. : This powder contains am
monia.

found by DIR Binswanger 10 be apune cream

free from alum, ammonia or any impnrity.
Following is list of the more widely
known brands that Dr Drew, chemist for
the Minnesota State Dairy and Food Com
mission, rs well as other chemists Of high
standing. have examined and found TO
.tf
Alum and Ammonia. Many Of the Alum
and Ammonia powders are laIseled and adj
vertised as absolutely pure to mislead
the public. The condemned powder given
IN this list are sold pretty generally through
Oregon and Washington:

In addition TO the above list, there are
many brands sold with prize. Ii Is safe
to reject all baking powders sold with a
prize, as the tests show they are composed
largely Of Alum and cost but few cents n
pound. Also refuse any taking powder
sold for twenty-five cents pound. or less

Surely nothing but their cheapness eould
induce tbs public TO experiment with these
impure powders at the risk Of health.

wholesomeness Of these condemned powders.

THE cAusk,oF CRITICISM.

A correspondent ofthe DEMOCRAT asks
what is the actual cause of criticism In Gov
Pennoyer's telegram to Gresham. The
ground of criticism is in the coarse, impo-
lite manner in which the reply was made.
The telegram to the governor from Sec,e.
tary Gresham was, TO say the least, out OF
place. premature. 1t is the duty of the
goyernor of each stale to suppress all riots
within the borders of his stats. aud to that
end he is empowered to call into service tue
whole militia of his state. But when, (and
only then,I the riot or rebellion becomes so
formidable that the power Of the state can
not suppress it. then the general goverr-
ment may interfere svkea called afoa 6ylhs
goueraor 10 do so. Governor Pennoyer
bad a great opportunity to put large,
bright feather in his cap by answering the
telegram Ia polite, dignifed way, calling
attention to the fact that riots. in the FRS
instance, are TO be suppressed by the States
audn by the general government. unie.s

when the governor shall call for aid from
the general government. But tae. govern

state. The most cha,itable view to take oi
the telegram incident Is, that If any other
man In the country had beea president ex-
cept Cleveland. the governors reply would.
at least have been conched in his usually
polite language. But he hates Cleveland
