LOCOMOTIVE BLOWN UP
WHILE THE TRAIN WAS RUNNING
TWENTY MILES AN HOUR.
Engineer and Fireman Hurled to
Death-NOise of the Explosion Not
Heard by the Passengers.

CHICAGO, March 21.-The boiler of the
locomotive which was hauling the Chi
cago and Boston special on the Lake Shore
& Michigan Southern Railroad, blew up
this morning, instantly killing the engineer
and fireman and completely demolishing
the engine. The dead are:
ALEXANDER FRANKS, engineer, Chi
cago.
EDWARD B. SMITH. fireman, Chicago.
The engineer was hurled 200 feet into
the air, through a network of telegraph
wires that were stretched along the tracks
and had his right leg torn off. The fireman
was thrown against a cattle car with such
force that almost every bone in his body
was broken. None of the remainder O.
the train crew nor any of the passengers
were injured. The train to which the en-
gine was attached is one of the fastest on
the Lake Shore road. and leaves the Van
Buren-street depot at 1880 o'clock in the
morning. The accident occurred about IL
o'clock. as the train had just pulled out
from the Englewood depot, and was run
ming at the rate of twenty miles an hour.
A peculiar feature of the explosion was
the fact that. although the report was so
loud it was heard by residents half-mile
away, and the force so great that the en-
gine was literally blown to atoms, none of
the passengers in the rear part of the train
heard the report, and were not aware that
anything unusual had happened until they
looked out after the train had come to a
sudden stop. The train dashed along
about l50 feet after the explosion took place
and, although the stop quite sudden
none of the passengers were thrown from
their seats. and not one of the coaches was
damaged by either the explosion or the sud
den stop. The force OF the explosion was
apparently directly upward and outward.
parts of the engine were thrown into
the air 100 feet and huge pieces of the
boiler. weighing several tons. were tossed
over the telegraph wires into a swamp, a
distance of 2J0 feet, while the baggage car
directly behind the engine, was not dam
aged in any way.
1t is not known just what caused the ex-
plosion, and the officials of the road say
that it will not be determined until what
remains of the engine is taken apart and
examined. 1t was thought at first that
there was no water in the boiler, but this
theory was abandoned as IL was an out
going train and the engine had just been
taken from the roundhouse. a short time
before the explosion. Ii was rumored that
the boiler of the engine was defective in
some respects, but this was denied by the
officials OF the road The latter say the To-
comotive was in good condition in every
respect, had been in service about three
years. and was considered one of the fast
est engines on the road. The train that il
was pulling IS known as No. 10, and is a
through train from Chicago to Boston.

Monthly Receipts During lSss.-

An examination OF the above table will
show a marked effect produced upon the
revenue-producing powers OF the Mckinley
law by the meeting OF the Congress, which
was pledged to its prompt repeal, while the
study of the receipts of the Mckinley law
prior to the meeting OF that Congress, from
the very time of its enactment 10 the date
that Congress met, shows with equal clear
ness that that law was not only capable OF
producing sufficient revenue TO meet the
running expenses of the government, but
did actually meet all expenditures. and sup
piled a handsome surplus besides. Only
during the months which followed the meet
ing of the Congress pledged 10 the destruc-
ton of the Mckinley law did IL fail TO meet
the running expenses of the government.
The table which follows gives the receipts
and expedtures of the government in each
month from the enactment of the McKin-
ley law TO the beginning OF the month in
which the free-trade Congress met 20 begin
the work to which IL was pledged; the re-
peal of the protective tariff. Ii VIII be seen
that during all that period, even including
the months of depression. between the cleo
ton of Cleveland and the meeting OF that
Congress. the Mckinley law steadily and
safely met the demands for the running
expenses OF the government, and supplied
a surplus of Sl4515.4S6. These figures cover
the entire period of time in which the Nc
Kinley law operated normally and three
fourths of the entire DeriOd of its existence.
