an Exciting Cabinet Crisis.
Christian Endeavor Trains Wrecked.


The great international Christian En-
deavor convention at San Franciso and
the low rates made by the railroads at
tracted many hundreds of excursion
lists and the dates for the starting of
the trains drew such crowds into Chi
cago that the railroads had hard work
to handle them. One lar re excursion
train was sent ont from Chca 20 on the
Chicago & Northwestern in nine sec
tions carrying about 5000, and when
about 30 miles out coils on occurred
between sections and which had
started Is minutes apart. Section ;
came up behind at great SIP ed and the
shock of the collision was terrific. The
passengers i'm the two rear sleepers of
section were all in their berthS.
They received no warning and those
not killed outright awOlle to find them
selves damned in the wrecltage. Pass
engers on both trains FASTENED to the
spot and began the work of rescue. One
OF the first of the injured taken out
was Engineer Charles Courtney. of Soc
ton 5. He had struck to his post like
a hero and is so seriously injured that
he cannot live. The body of an un-
identified man, supposed to be n tramp,
was found between baggage car and
the engine crushed to death. Three
persons were found to be killed out
right and about 90 or 30 persons in
iured. The dead are: Mrs. John Good
ing, and Mrs. Il. Snipman, both of APP
pleton, Wis. and the unknown tramp,
who was riding between engine and
baggage car.

PENINSULA MATTERS
RELATED IN A BRIEF. CONCISE
MANNER.
Fire Destroys the Town OF Lake Ann,
Rendering Several Hundred People
Homeless and without Food-Deaths
Caused by the Hot Weather.
Village of Lake Ann Burned Out.

Lake Ann, village of 800 inhabit-
ants on the Manistee g. Northeastern
railroad, Is miles south of Traverse
City, was almost wiped out of existence
by fire. Seventy-five families are
homeless and as every store in the
town was destroyed there was not food
enough for even one meal for half of
them. The fire broke at p. IN. in the
mill of VIM. Habbler, presumably from
the engine room. The high wind
blowing from the southwest spread
the flames through the main portion
of the town very swiftly. The bust
ness plrt was cleaned up in an hour,
including all stocks of gooGs. The
saw mill, stave factory, cooperage
sheds. warehouses and the large stock
of lumber of VIM. lIabbler were a to al
loss. Traverse City was asked for help,
and an engine and crew were sent by
special train, but it was almost too
late. The additional help saved about
half million feet OF lumber. the coop
erage factory and "a dozen small dwell
ings on the outskirts. The burning of
the mills and factories throws the
main portion of the males out of en-
ployment The heaviest loss was sus-
tanned by VIM. lIabbIer, who will lose
about $4,000. Putnam & Burnett lose
about $4,000. Other losses on stores,
business structures and dwellings and
furniture range $3.50 up and brings the
total TO about $i25.00J. Habbler has
$500 insurance, Putnam 81 Burnett
$1,000 and scattering about So, 900 more.
Mrs. Masters, aged 80, was cremated.
She escaped once from the burning
dwelling, but returned for valuables,
when the building collapsed and all
efforts TO rescue her were unavailing.
