REAR END COLLISION.

The Disaster Caused by the Air Brakes
Failing to WOrk-Twelve Killed and
Twenty-one Injured.
JACKSON, Mich, Oct 14.-As a direct
result of the policy of the railroads of
the country in refusing low rates to the
worlds fair at an early period, thus
forcing the people to go there in mass,
tile lives were crushed out of twelve
passengers in an instant at the depot
here and twenty-five persons were
MANNED, many of whom will either
succumb to their injuries or be Grip
pied for life.
The Oswego special on the Michigan
Central railroad was made up into two
section because of the demand of in
tending worlds fair visitors for room,
hundreds who might haye gone months
ago having delayed until this time in
the hope of securing better excursion
rates than had been offered heretofore.
The two sections were running only a
few minutes apart.
The first section of the special was
lying on the main track just east of the
depot here at $40 o'clock and the pas
sengers were either crowded into the
dining car or still asleep when the sec
ond section dashed up from be-
hind. The air brakes refused to work.
The next moment the engine of the
second section crushed with awful
force into the rear of the first section,
and before it stopped the two rear cars
had been completely destroyed and
fully seventy people in them either
killed or injured
AS soon as possible the work of relief
began.
All the undertakes and physicians
in town wers soon on the ground and
in short time every undertaken estab
lishment was a morgue. When the
wreck had been cleared away it was
found that seventeen bodies required
only burial and that fiftytwo people
We're in need of surgical attention.
Engineer Whalen, of the second sec
ton, who was badly burned and one of
whose legs was broken, said: 81 saw
the signal in the yard to keep back and
had my engine in hand, as l thought,
but when / came down near the train,
which was still, my air brake would
not work and / ran into the coaches.
The failure of the air brake made it
impossible to stop. l never had such
an experience before"

OMAHA. Neb, Oct. t4.-On a plea in
equity filed in the United States dis
trict court here Judge Dnndy APP
pointed S. h a.. Clark, E. Ellery An
derson of new York and Oliver w.
Mink of Boston receivers for the Union
Pacific Railway Co.
The application for = receiver was
| made by the executors of the Frederick
L. Ames estateAOliver Ames, second,
Samuel Carr, Edwin f. Atkins and Pc
ter b. Wyckof
The announcement of the application
and the appointing of the receivers
came simultaneously just before
o'clock p m.
The action #as complete surprise
in every way, despite the fact that
there had been hints from time to time
that the system was not in good fnan-
cial condition.
Receiver Clark at once called upon
General Manager Dickinson for posses
sion of the property and it was turned
over to him with due fofmality and
record. Thus 1900 miles of rail and
water line and the employment Of %, :
900 nen changed control
The application and order in the fed
eral court were carefully printed, show
ing previous preparation. $500.
The application was made by the ex-
ecutor of the estate of the late Frederick
L. Ames and by f. F. Atkins, heavy
stakeholder, and p. Wycoff, son-in-law
of the late Sidney Dillon, also repre-
senting large block of stock. 1t re-
cited that owing to dull times, de-
pressed business and the approaching
maturity of bonds which the road
would be consequently unable to meet
it was deemed best for the protection
of all interests that the property should
be put into the hands of the court,
where suits could not aisintegrate and
impair the value of the system as a
whole.
The proceedings were very similar,
says General-Solicitor Thurston, to
those under which the Northern Pa
cific went into receivership. 1t was
necessary to keep the system together
and prevent separating it and lessen
ing its earning power. Mr.. Anderson
represents the interest of the govern
mcnt.
The future of the road depends large
ly upon the prosperity of the country
and somewhat upon the course which
the government will pursue IN dealing
with the debt that the road owes. If
this debt is adjusted favorably it is
possible that after some years the sys-
tenn may be returned to the hands of
the owners.
This receivership, in Mr.. Thurston's
opinion, is really beneficial. The time
had come when the road must be put
into condition for winter and for in
creased business and the receivership
will not have such a depressing effect
as is usual in such proceedings.
General Manager Dickinson has no
titled all heads of departments that all
officers, agents and employees will be
retained until further notice. 1t is
stated that there are not likely to be
any important changes. Mr.. Dickinson
will stay in his place.
1t is predicted that no changes Of pay
schedules asked for by the employees
will be granted and that it is not i'm
possible that the cut of pay of schedule
men talked of in August, may be put
into force

BUFFALO, N. Y, Oct. 16.-The saddest
feature of the lake storm. which ragged
Saturday, is the loss of the stea mer
Dean Richmond on the shore near Dun
kirk. The first thing that was heard
OF this disaster was at 9 o'clock Sum
day morning, when the captain of the
Helena reported having sighted the
Dean Richmond off Long Point. where
she seemed to be la boring under diff
culties. Later Capt. Jack Tierney, OF
the steamer w. II. Stevens, reported
that he sighted the Richmond in
the middle of the lake about
miles this side of Erie. One
OF her stacks was missing and while he
was looking the other stack and spar
went by the board She was la boring
heavily in the trough, as Trough her
steering gear had become disabled.
Since then nothing bnS been seen or
heard of the vessel. 1t is thought that
she MUST have gone down with all on
board. Her cargo wa. eighty tons of
merchandise f,-,n Toledo to Buffalo.
She Leleaged to the Toledo, St Louis
* Kansas City line. Her crew consisted
of about eighteen souls.
A dispatch from Dunl1irk states that
three unknown bodies, apparently Of
sailors, have been washed ashore few
miles from that port. One of the three
bodies has since been definitely identi-
fed, upon descriptions furnished from
Buffalo, as that of John Logan, first
engineer, from Port Huron, Mich. The
signal board of the boat bearing her
name was later found, and some bar
rels of -four, which formed part of her
cargo, have also drifted to land. She
must have gone down off Light House

Frankfort gained the bluff at dark,
but even then it was too late. All the
life-savers could do was to care for
Capt Packer, who had jumped over
board and swan ashore.
All night long they patrolled the
beach with the hope that some poor
sailor might have survived and would
be thrown up by the surf, but their eff
forts were without reward. There was
nothing to indicate where the schooner
had stranded. A mass Of wreclzage,
