WHERE Is MY WIFE?
The Cry of a Dying Banker in His
DeIirium

BATTLE CREEK, Oct. 20.-Bradley,
who is manager of the Bank of Com
MERGE at Toronto, lies Ill the hospital
crying in his delirum, as we'll as lucid
moments, Have you found my wife?"
The watchers turn away i'll silent SYM
pathy, for the wife he calls for lies
mass of mangled and burned flesh in
the morgus.
Mr. Clarke, the father of the untort-
innate woman, identified the remains
by means of some shredS of clothing, as
the body was burned beyond positive
recognition. Mr.. Clarke said that Mr..
and Mrs. Bradley were on their way to
visit the worlds fair. and that they mad
left their two children with him while
they were away.
kilograms are coming from many
Eastern points from anxious friends in
curing about those supposed TO be
killed or injured. A message was re-
ceived tonight by Father Saddier from
st. Michaels college. at Toronto, asking
if Father Clark, of the Hartford diocese,
Toronto, is among the killed Or injured.
1t is inferred from this that Father
Clark was on the Inflated train, but so
far his remains have not been Identified.
General Supt. Atwater, who was on
lllC dlI
early this evening, was asked upon
whom the blame should be fixed. 'As
far as | have learned" he replied. 1.-THE
blame wholly belongs to the engineer or
conductor of the Raymond train, or
both, but l AIN not yet familiar with tie
circumstances. The representatives of
the press may have access to our train
order book at the dispatcher's Office, and
that will speak for itself. We wish to
hide nothing"
Thereupon Assistant Superintendent
A. X. Mcintyre brought the reporters to
the dispatcher'S office and the book
showed that Train No. 9, the Pacific eX-
press. received the following order:
Run to double track for Train No
g." ''ThiS gave No. 9 clear right of way
to the double track as against the other
train," said Mr.. Mcintyre, after read
ing and showing the order.
They were struck before they got
there, so that relieves them of any re-
sponsiblity,
Train No. 6, the Raymond, received
this order: -f
Garry red signals foI second section
No. 6, Engine 6l, from Battle Creek to
Durind. Meet No. 81 Engine 159, Oh
double track"
This order was given to Conductor
tion," said Mr.. Mcintyre, lat 20 a. In.
That was nineteen minutes, as near as
we can ascertain, before the collision
occurred. The order was explicit. 1t
was not ambiguous. 1t could not be
misunderstood, as the same order
is given to trains most every day.
The order was not obeyed and the
accident resulted. L can see no
eXtenuating circumstances. 1t would
appear to be a clear case of negligence
and violation of duty, principally on
the part OF the engineer. The cuSto-
mary plea i'll such eases that the men
were being overworked does not tit
here. The crew on the Raymond were
starting from Battle Greek fresh when
they got their orders. They took the
train here from the crew that brought
it from the West, and they were going
out after good, long rest"
