FIFTEEN KILLED
AND TWENTY-FIVE OTHERS BADLY
INJURED

In Roar End Collision On the Delaware,
Laokawanna and Western-One Express
Train Crashed Into Another During a
Dense Fog.
HoBoKEN, N. j., Jan. 16. About two
miles from Hoboken and few hundred
feet from the drawlridge across the
Hackensack river at 500 a. M, the
Orange accommodation crashed into tho
rear of the Dover express on the Morris
and Essex branch of the Delaware,
Lackawanna and Western railroad.
The scene of the accident was on the
long meadows through which flows the
Hackensack river. At least eleven lives
paid the penalty of some ones careless
ness and the list of known injured is ST.
some of whom will probably die. So
far as learned, one cause of the accident
was the heavy fog which. prevailed.
Both trains were well
Filled with Passengers
on their way TO their daily avocations
and it seems miracle that the death
list was not increased many fold. The
Dover express had slowed up to make
sure that the drawbridge was all right.
The Orange accommodation engineer,
who should have done likewise, failed to
take this precaution and crashed into
the rear of the preceding train. The
last car on the express was combina-
ton baggage and smoker, and into this
plunged the huge engine, cutting
through the woodwork and sending
splinters in all directions, with force
that showed the tremendous speed at
which tbs train was travelling. The
coach ahead of the smoker was teles-
coped by it, the roof torn out and the
seats
Torn and Twisted
as though they were made of paper.
The roof was thrown alSad and par
TALLY telescoped the third. For mo-
ment the passengers did not realize the
awful situation, Tut in the next the
shrieks of the wounded and dying and
the noise of escaping steam told them
that an awful calamity had occurred.
After few minutes something like
order was followed in the work of res
cue, and the victims were rapidly taken
out from amongst twisted iron and
splintered timbers. The dead were so
covered with dust and blood that it was
almost
Impossible to Identify Them.
The dead and wounded were placed on
the train and taken to Jersey City,
where many friends and relatives who
had heard of the accident had already
gathered. Ambulances were there in
readiness, and those of the wounded who
were unable to go home were taken To
the hospitals, while the dead were taken
to the different morgues to await identi-
fcation. The dead are as follows:
William Fergeson, Summit, N. j.;
William R. Adams, Summit, N. J.;
William Turner, Basking Ridge, N. J.;
Kinsey, Barnardsyille, N. j.;
John Fish, Summit, N. j.; Walter K.

Rimmer, Summit, N. j.; P. J. Ryan,
Milburn, N j.; Edwin Morell, Summit,
N. j.; James Doty, Barkerville, N. j.;
Donald Cameron, Newark. Of the in
jured six will die.

'howdy." but did not check his pace.
At tina: same cantor, and with his gaze
fastened on the group at the flour house,
the famous scout rode down the avenue
and made no halt until he reached the
group. He nodded to two or three
Indians whom he knew and then said to
Scar Faced Charlie:
81 have come after you. It is not far
and my horse will carry double
There was the man who had sworn
never to be taken alive. Around him
we're 300 friends. who had promised TO
wipe out any force sent to capture him.
Instead of POO or 100 soldiers here was
one lone man. Every one looked at him
in blank amazcment. He knew why
they had assembled and yet he had
dared take the RISKS. He had knife and
revolver, but he did not dare put a hand
10 either.
~ will not go!' replied the half-breed,
but there was indecision In his tones.
~ am sent for you. | shall take you
dead or alive. Give up your arms and
come along"
For thirty seconds every Indian seemed
TO hold his breath, and all stood rs rigid
as posts. One well aimed bullet would
have settled the scout, but not Il gun was
raised to fire it. Half a dozen of those
SlIlWutb men tOUlu rush MIN OIL lne

foot moved. A regiment would have
been attacked long ago. A company
would have been wiped out with u vol
ley. A squad would have been hacked
to pieces with ~tomahawks. But one man,
and that man Wild Bill!
Scar Faced Charlie looked to the right
and left and half raised his rifle. Then
he handed il to the mar on his right,
followed it by the revolver, cast his
knife to the ground with a curse and
stepped forward and mounted behind the
scout. The latter had entered the agency
with a smile on his face. 1t was there
as he rode up to the flour house: there as
he delivered his message: there as he
rode away with his prisoner behind him.
When they were out Of sight behind the
ridge the Indians broke up into small
groups and returned to their camps.
They had been awed and overcome by a
single man, but they feared that mar

Lulu Did Not Invite and sho Was Res

Twelve young women OF the West
Side, Chicago. started in the new year
with the l~iveliest expectations of pleas
ure. These same young women retired
Monday night with feelings of the most
bitter character toward some person or
persons, and a forvent wish that they
could get their fingers in the hair of
some person or persons, for just fivo
minutes. And the twelve young women
were excusable for entertaining these
harsh feelings. AS n of them said,
between her sobs: 1T was just too IN
uttcrably horrid for anything"
The twelve young women were going
to receive calls. They ali belong to one
of the prominent West Side churches,
attend the Sunday school, and, a few
weeks ago, while discussing plans for
the holidays, the suggestion was made
by Miss r, the prettiest n of the
twelve, hat the othars come to her
house on New Years day and they would
voted the suggestion a splendid one.
AS the shades of night began to fall
on New Years day carriage after car
riage rolled up to the home of Miss II,
and from Zach one descended q picture
of silks, satins, laces or some other be-
wildering fabric. BY & o'clock the
twelve girls were together in the space
cious p~arlors, the mandolin orchestra
was slowed away where it could be heard
and not seen. The faintest suggestion
of powder was applied to twelve bright
and eager faces and the girls were ready
for their callers.
One of Miss RS neighbors is a ply
stefan, who has two daughters, the elder
being about 10 and the other 10. Miss
Grace, the elder, felt terribly sighted
because Miss II had not invited her in
to help receive callers.
"She's q mean, stuck-up thing" said
Miss Grace, tearfully, as she saw the
young women begin TO come. Then she
gave a jump and a little shrek. ''Ill
fix her." she exclaimed.
And she did.
Next door the twelve young ladies'
were in readiness: I, s, 8, 10 o'clock
struck and not a soul had called. Car
riages could be heard rolling up, but not
once did the bell ring. The girls could
not understand it. Eleven o'clock; not q
soul had come near them. And the
girls cried from sheer modification as
they put their things on preparatory to
going home.
All this while Miss Grace stood in the
darkcned window Of her home and
watched the door of her neighbor, She
laughed, clapped her hands and fairly
screamed with Joy. Carriages would
roll up, faultlessly attired young men
walk up the steps and Immediately rush
down as If their life was at stake.
What caused this panic2
Simply u red placard ON the door that
read: SMALLPOX Here That's all.
| Miss Grace had taken her revenge. She
had put the placard where it would tell
its own story.

AT the only hotel in the town, where l
stopped, the landlord had erected a long
gas pipe, with the end bending over like
a hook, and coming within about twelve
feet of the ground. The end was where
the gas was lighted. Every evening the
landlord used to come out in front with
a box of bluehead matches in his hand,
turn on the gas, light matches and throw
up to the end of the pipe until the gas
caught. One windy evening he stood
there and lighted and threw away a
whole box of matches trying to light the
gas. The idea was a new one to me and

A SMART TRICK.

"One of the best tricks in horselesh I

horse dealer, to the GlObe-Democrat
man at the Southern, "~happened in
Indianapolis. There was a brokcn-down
horse brought into an auction room. He
was stone blind, his tongue hung from
his mouth about ten inches, the end of

said that he had just bought him for $40

WILD BILLS IRON NERVE.


Riding Singie-Ilanded Into a Hostile Camp
and Cnptnrlng His Man.
BY 0 o'clock in the morning fully 300
Indians had gathered at the agency,
says a writer in the Kansas City Times.
Every one of them was armed with rifle
or revolver, and many of them had both.
There was no drinking and but little
talking. Scar Faced Charlie had escaped
from the ~guardhouse at the fort the
night previous and sought their pro-
lection, They We're ready to fight a
whole regiment sooner than give him
up. They expected the soldiers to come
and they had planned how the attack
no uld be MADE. Scar Faced Charlie,
nm ed with a Winchester, revolver and
ant ing knife, was the center Of Il group
I tn q flour house. To reach him the
oldiers would have to ride across the
gency grounds between the lines of
indians. They would have to pass five
beds and houses behind which the In
ians could find shell ter. The excava-
ion for u new storehouse would make a
life pit for fifty redskins. AT 8 o'clock
he agent telegraphed over to the fort:
Don't come. You couldn't take him
with 800 men,
At 10 O'clock a single white man came
up the road with his mustang going at
an easy canter. While he was yet a
rifle shot away the Indians recognized
him as Wild Bill, and there was an un-
easy movement among them. Every
man was watching him as he turned TO
the left and rode into the agency. He
might have a dispatch for the agent or
he might want to make a purchase
When he did not draw rein at the store
the uneasiness was more marked. The
Indians gathered in groups and con
versed in whispers. AS the rider
reached these groups he uttered a brief
