CRUSHED UNDER CRUEL WHEELS.
Heartrending Accident on the Queen
& Crescent Railway.

Heartrending Accident on the Queen
& Crescent Railway.
Chattanooga, Tenn, Aug. 1O-The facts
in a most heart-rending accident, in
which two little children were mangIed
by a train on the Queen & Crescent
road, have just been received here from
Alfalfa, Ala.
Willie and Lilly Burgess, aged and g.
were sent by their mother to a neighbor-
ing farm on an errand. When the little
children were on their way back they
came to a cuIvert and got down in 1t.
Hardly had they done so when train
dashed around a curve at the rate of 40
miles an hour. Engineer Elliott saw the
head of the little boy raised above the
ties looking with helpless terror at the
approaching engine. In an instant the
engineer threw his lever back and did
all he could to stop his engine. The dis
lance, however, was too short and the
only hope of the engineer was that the
children would have presence of mind
enough to crouch down under the ties
When a short distance from the children
he saw the little boy raise from the ties;
little hand was stretched down toward
the small sister underneath, thinking to
save her and not willing to leave her
as he thought to die. Hardly had he
raised his sister from the culvert when
the engine was upon them. The pilot
passed over the body of the little girl, the
iron wheels rolled over the body, crush
ing and mangling them. The boy was
lifted high in the air, and fell bleeding
by the side of the track.

ALLEGED CASE OF RAPE
THE UNFORTUNAFE JENNIE WILL
SON FoULY DEALT WITH.
Found Unconscious in Il Commercial
Street Lodging House With Two
Men in a Compromising Position.

Another and, if possible, a sadder
chapter in the biography Of the unfor-
tunate Jennie Wilson was enacted last
night. 1t appears the woman left the
house of Officer Busby. where she was
being taken care Of about o'clock in
the afternoon. AT 1890 in the evening
she was seen walking down Main
street, and at the corner of Second
South street two men were standing
when she passed. She stopped and
spoke to them and the three walked
house, where they all stopped and
talked on the sidewalk for a minute or
two. One of the men took her by the
arm and crossed the street, the two
going north to Second South, I'D to
Commercial street and entered
O'Brien's lodging house, Nos 40 and 81.
In the meantime the other man disap-
peared.
The fact came to the knowledge of
Sergeant Ford, and he, believing the
woman was not in her right mind sent
officer Busby to the lodging house with
instructions to take the woman back
to his house in case he found her. The
proprietor of the lodging house denied
that any parties answering the descrip-
ton were there. Later in the night
Sergeant Ford and Detective Rhodes
visited the house and saw a man come
out of one Of the rooms with his dress
disarranged. On entering the room they
found the woman laying on the bed
in nude condition and another man
also nude in bed with her. The woman
was in an unconscious condition and
utterly helpless and PROSTATE. The men
were placed under arrest and taken
to the city hall and stretcher was
procured and the woman conveyed
thither also. Dr. Beer, who attended
to her on the previous evening
affects of the poison she had taken,
was quickly summoned, and after max
ing an examination pronounced it a.
clear case of rape. The unhappy wo-
man went into a fit of commissions be-
fore the doctor arrived, and it required
two strong men to hold her. She was
altogether irrational and appeared like
a maniac at times, and again subsid-
ed into a comotoSe condition The
men, whose names are Fred Colby and
Ernest Davies, were locked UP in jail.
bail being refused.
A bottle of whisky and a bottle Of
beer were found in the room.
Warrants will be sworn out, charging
them probably with rape this morning.
and they will be arraigned before Uni
ted States Commissioner Pratt Colby
is the one whom the officers met COM
ing out of the room, and Davies oc-
cupied the bed with her. The proprie-
tor of the lodging house will be called
to account for permitting such things
to occur in his house.
The woman is being cared for at
police headquarters

was thirty-eight miles. The Gloriana
was the first to cross the line at 1:20:24,
closely followed by the Queen Nab,
Wasp, Navahoe and the Idellerm, in
the order named and with a very little
difference in time. The Navahoe be-
gan to show her windward qualities at
once, rapidly passing her rivals.
The Queen Nab was a close second,
holding UP to windward well. The
Navahoe made three long legs and
rounded the first stake boat two min
utes ahead of Queen NAB which was
six minutes ahead of the Emerald.
On the second leg the Navahoe, fol-
lowed by the other yachts, set her
spinnaker and started for stake No.
2. She showed her speed here also, and
quickly opened up the space between
her and the second boat. On this leg
the schooner Emerald passed the
Wasp and secured a lead which prac-
tically gave her the prize in her class.
The Navahoe also won her race at
this point. Queen Nab made a plucky
race. however, and allowed no other
boat to pass her.
At 5:07 the Navahoe rounded the
mark at West Island and started at
race horse So ed for the finish line,
giving several of the smaller steam
yachts a good race. She finished at
5 80 amid a deafening footing of
whistles and ringing of bells.

hart, as president of the Atchison, To-
peka & Santa F'e railroad, to recover
$50, 900 damages, also to recover $500
damages. The grounds for the action
are thai President Reinhart issued a

Der 2. 1898, made another statement,

Chicago, Aug. 1O.-The Post prints
the following from Pullman:
Pullman's tenants will be evicted,
Vice-President Wickes said so today
The company claims that it must find
houses for its new employees to live in,
and as the strikers have been camping
in the Pullman flats without paying a
cent of rent for the last three months
they must get out. This move is the
very last in the big strike and it will
forever discomfit the employees. The
company's houses cover about 5000 peo-
pie at present. These 5000 consist of
the striking workmen and their fami-
lies. There are about 1000 new men
in the shops that have families and that
desire to live near their work. The
old employees must make way for the
new
'Will the company evict the ten
ants?" Mr.. Wickes was asked today.
Something of that kind must be
DONE" he replied. 1--WE must find
quarters for our new employees
"Have you taken any actual steps
in the matter yet?''
mo not yet, but we will soon do So"
"When?'
81 can't say exactly when, but very
SOON
Mr., Wickes spoke in a manner from
which one might gather that the law
yers were already looking about and
would be prepared a any minute to go
ahead with the work of eviction.
Twill it not be a troublesome pro-
cess?" ne was asked.
"Oh, don't know. I suppose it can
be done easily enough. 1t must be done,
anyhow"
The eviction is the very last thing
the people have looked for. One woman
on Fulton street said:
Surely they will not put us out.
Where would we go? We have not
money enough to buy bushel of coal.
We have no clothes, and the American
public will not stand by and see
thousand families rendered homeless"
But that is undoubtedly what must be
done, for it is necessary that the COM
pany take decisive action. The outlook
for the present population of the model
town is not full of cheer. In fact it is
desperate.

George Williamson, of the Ganymede
club of Council Bluffs, dashed up to
Captain Len Livesey, of the Omaha
Wheel club, and had transferred the
small bag to the latter, who set out at
racing speed for Benson. where he, in
turn, was relieved by another. The dis
lance from Council Bluffs to Omaha was
made in a fraction of 40 minutes. Slow
time was made from Weston to Council
Bluffs, but it was faster than the
schedules. A half hour was gam
ed between Atlantic and Omaha.
Len Livesey had the contract to
deliver the message at Benson. The mes
sage was delivered to Van Court and Cap
tain Mann, who carried it seven miles.
The seventeen miles from that relay to
Fremont were covered by Haynes and
Yates.
The message is due in Denver at noon
Tuesday, but the Nebraska riders hope it
may be delivered to Governor Waite on

into the pouch letter which had been
written by H. w Grimmes, president of
the Ganymede Bicycle club, criticising the
coolness of Cleveland's note to Waite.

Theories as to the Wreck.
There are two theories as to the
wrecking of the train, it being con-
coded that the train was deliberately
derailed by the removal of the rails
for part of the way across the tres
tie. There is plenty Of evidence to
prove this as fact A fishplate and
the bar with which it had been
wrenched loose were found near the
trestle after the wreck occurred.
Ou0 theory IS JIidI the strikers from
South Omaha did the work, believing
boarded the train at Fairbury, were
aboard. The company missed connec-
ton, however. This is not as generally
credited as the other, that the element
that has caused so much trouble in
Oklahoma, who are particularly bitter
against the Rock Island, did the job,
though why they should have come
Oh Il
might have been wrecked nearer home
is not explained.
Three well-dressed men are known
to have left north-bound freight near
the bridge late Thursday afternoon
and they took a south-bound train
later in the evening, the last train to
pass safely over the structure being
the one they boarded. The detectives
are looking for them.
Harry Foote, the injured brakeman,
is the one who advances the theory
that the train was maliciously wrecked.
According to his story, a rail was re-
moved on the bridge, and the fishplates
and a crowbar were found in the grass
near by. The evidences were plainly
there and unnistakable. Marks made
by a wrench on a loosened rail were
plainly visible, and the marks of the
crowbar on the cross-ties were there so
examine them. The wood of the ties
was deeply dented where the crowbar
had been inserted and the rails lifted
clear of the ties, and the spikes which
had been pulled out were lying loose
on the bridge
Late tonight the remains of Andrew

ty, Neb., were identified by watch.
found lying in the midst of human
bones. All or part of those mentioned
by name in the list Of killed have been
recovered.
The police have arrested a colored
man named George Davis, who is sus-
pected of wrecking the train. Shortly
after the wreck he applied to a hack
man and asked to be driven to town.
He had been on the train and lost his
coat He was seen near the place
where the wreckioccurred, it is claimed.

The police say they have evidence
sufficient to convict him. His motive
is not known.
