 ST. LOUIS, Oct. l7.-The west bound Chi caSo limited train on the Wabash road left the track one mile south of NamoCki, re sulting in tho injury of some 50 people The wreck is remarkable iu some respects and is without parallel in that no one was killed out ut 45O passengers.
 The train was in charge CT Conductor Woods and was making up 50 minutes lost time. The train wus going 40 miles an hour when it gradually slowed down and stopped. The rails spread behind the loco motive, and the cars following went over six foot CmGaukueut. The buffet cai behind the harg0Ee car swung across tLe track, and the gas tank exploded, setting fire to the first chair c;Gr and the bullet car, which were consumed. The euuiuiurgd i'm medi0tcly set to work to rescue yleiC less fortunate companions. Two physicians on the train did noble service.
 While the excitement yyss at its highest pitch a train on the Biz Four, only 80 yards away, came by at express speed and ry. fused to stop in answer to signal. Aid had been sent for to ST. Louis, but dil not N A- -A L EH train from St. Louis, with physicians and nurses, arrived and brought Inc injured ly this city,

EMMA GOLDMAN, the anarchist, was sen- fenced to one year in prison yesterday for making speeches melting to riot. Free speech in this country does not mean liberty to speak whatever one pleases, no more than liberty of action entities every one to do what he pleases. The rights of others must be regarded and the peace of the community must be maintained, and any act or speech initiating against these should be punished. Goldman might talk till she was tired. so long as she did not cite to riot or incendiary action. Those anarchist orators arc equally guilty with those whom they influence to do violent acts, and their incendiary promptings to riot are often more deserving of punish mcnt.
