Are Numbered With the Killed and

son, Libbie Jackson, his niece, Miss
Blanche Belleson, Miss Emily Templin
and Miss Olive Patton, from Cynthiana
and vicinity, we're registered at the Par
ker House, enroute for the Worlds Fair.
They left here by the B. & o. at 2:3O in
the afternoon, full of bright anticipa.
tions.
Mr.. Jackson was a well.todo farmer,
man of probably fifty years. He was,
without question, one of the best men
OF our county, and had served the peo-
pie with perfect satisfaction in the ca
pacity of County Commissioner. He
had taken charge of the young ladies,
and was happy in promoting their en-
ioyment. Misses Templin and Belleson
we're teachers, Miss Jackson was his
niece and Miss Patton, stepdaughter
of George Enbanks, we'll known in this
city.
Tuesday morning of this week the
Cincinnati papers contained meager
references to terrible wreck which had
occurred the night before on the Big
Four road, not far this side of Chicago.
As the visitors to Chicago from this vi
cinity usually travel that road, there
was naturally considerable uneasiness.
Not long afterward, Mr.. MoCoppin, of
the Hillsboro Hardware Co., received
the following dispatch from Chicago:
Train wrecked. David Jackson killed,
Emma, Blanche and Libbie injured. l
am all right. OLIVE PATTON.
Later advices yesterday stated that
the wounded had been removed to St.
Lukes hospital in Chicago, and that
Miss Belleson had sustained injuries
about the head and spine which were
considered mortal.
The evening papers said that Miss
Patton who sent the despatch above,
was also one of the wounded.
The name of John w. Powell, of New
Vienna, was also found among the dead.
Mr.. Powell was prominent Mason, we'll
and favorably known all over the
county.
Among the injured was James W.
Brown, of Wilmington, formerly of this
city.
