TWO ENGINES COLLIDE.
Wreckages Strewn All About the
North-Western Railroad Yards
at kenosha.

Kenosha. Wis, Oct. 19.-ISpecial] J.
A head-end collision occurred ill the yards
of the North Western road last evening
in which many freight cars and both en-
gines were demolished and two fremen
were badly injured, one of them probably
fatally.
AS train No. 1871 ON the North Western
was going north at 10:30 O'Clock it was
struck by a special, train going south
Both trains were going at Il high rate of
speed at the time of the accident. line
special train was on the side track, but
in some manner the switch had been
turned and the engine was switched onto
the main line just as the regular train
rounded into the yards The two Ell
gines came together with terrific force
and the engine of the regular train was
thrown from the track and dumped into
the ditch. being almost buried in the sand.
Frank Palmer, the fireman on train No.
1877, was caught between the tender and
the cab and was so badly crushed that he
will in all probability die Of his inj uries.
His leg was mangled i'll such a manner
that amputation will be necessary. The
fireman on the regular, whose name is I'M
known was also caught in the wreck and
pinloned where he was scalded with escap-
ing steam from pipe that burst immedi-
ately after the collision Both men were
taken to Chicago for treatment.
Two of the freight cars were loaded
with forty Texas steers, which We're be-
ing shipped to the northern part of the
state Eighteen of the bovines were
killed outright and the remaining TWEEN
ty-two escaped and stampeded down the
main street Of the town. The below
ing of the steers and the noise of theif
hoofs on the pavement created a small
sized panic among the residents for a
time and everyone sought the shelter Of
their homes. A corps of policemen We're
soon on the scene and they succeeded in
shooting four of the animals. The rest
of the drove are still straying about the
streets and some of them have made
Nheir WAY into the country district.

DEMAND AN ACCOUNTING.
Suit to be Brought Against the Oconomo-
woo Circus Manager.


= Oconomowoc, Wis, Oct 19-Attorney
John A. Kelly of this city is preparing to
begin a suit in equity against George z.
Clifford, Jr., the manager and director
of the OconOmowoc summer circus of
August last, and the forty odd signers
of what is usually called. the guaranty
subscription to the circus fund. John
r. Bartlett is the plaintiff. Mr.. Bart
lett is both a creditor and a signer of the
guaranty subscription. The object OF
the suit seems to be to compel an &C.
counting by the manager and director
as to the moneys received and disbursed
by him, and decree against all Of the
defendants for the amount of plaintiffs
claim. Although nominally defendants,
some at least of the signers of the guar.
anty fund subscription desire such an
accounting and they refuse to pay theil
subscriptions until it is made. The
plaintiffs complaint seems to contem-
plate the appointment of a receiver, to
take possession of the effects of the
show organization and to wind up it's af-
fairs.
