FATAL WRECK.
Eight People Killed in a Frisco
Smashup Near st. Louis.
Careiessness on the Part of n Trains Crew
Causes the Loss OF Life and Prop
erty-Many Excursionists
Were on Board.

ST. LOUIS, Oct. 27.-Shortly before
ten o'clock yesterday morning two
passenger trains on the St Louis G
San Francisco railroad, going in op-
posite directions, collided near Wind
sor station, about 13 miles from this
city, instantly killing eight persons
and injuring Il more.
The collision occurred between the
second section of an excursion train
bound west and the Frisco Valley
park accommodation. From what can
be learned the accident was the result
of disobedience or neglect of orders on
the part of the excursion train crew,
who should have remained at Sprink
park for orders and to have let the ac-
commodation train through. The ex-
cursion train was the second section
of u special, bound for st. James, Mo.
According to J. d. Dishman, the
telegraph operator and station
agent at Spring park, it should have
stopped at that place for orders.
Instead of doing SO the second section
passed by the station, and soon after
met the accommodation coming down
grade at full speed. Engineer Hohl,
of the accommodation, was not aware
the second section was on the road,
and in trying to make the switch at
Kirkwood crashed into the ill-fated
train in cut, just l3 miles from the
St Louis union station. There were
only three cars, baggage car and two
coaches on Engineer Hollis train, but
the collision was terrific, both engines
being demolished and a number of the
cars telescoped. The wreckage was
piled high on the track, and above the
sound of escaping steam could be
heard the cries of the frightened and
injured passenrers.

the business of the house. The technical am
munition thus stored up is what availed him
so much later on. especially when leading the
democratic minority.
When Mr. Crisp's third term in congress be-
gan with the meeting of the Fiftieth congress,
the house realized that Georgia had an able
one to represent her. II was supposed that on
the assembling OF the Fiftieth congress in 1887
Mr.. Crisp would be appointed chairman of one
of the committees upon which he had served.
An accidental happening, however, prevented
it For the second time in the history of con-
gress the seat of the speaker was contested, and
in this case Mr.. Carlisle declined to appoint the
committee elections. After consideration
it was agreed that nine members should be
elected by the democrats and six by the repub-
licans. The democratic caucus unanimously
selected Mr.. Crisp to act as chairman OF that
committee. Could he have foreseen the OPP
portunity which was here presented to him he
would have welcomed it with delight. AS 1t
was, he accepted it duty, believing that
he had temporarily got on from the road to
distinction.
Mr.. Crisp was chosen speaker of the Fifty
Second congress after such long and rather
animated contest with nsplrants of his own
party in caucus that the election was not made
until the houses session began. When the
Fifty-Third congress convened he was re-
elected without opposition. At the time of his
death he was the choice of his party for
United States senator from Georgia to succeed
Gen. John b. Gordon.
