ONE EFFECT OF INCOMPETENCE
FRIGHTFUL ACCIDENT ON AN
OMAHA PASSENGER TRAIN.
Mike Smith, an Engineer, Was I'm
able to Stop His Engine, and Col
lision and Death Is the Result.

Omaha. Oct S.-A double-headed Ere
mont, Elkhorn & Missouri Valley
freight train ran into the rear end OF
an Omaha passenger train in the yards,
three blocks north of Locust street, at
10 o'clock this morning. The last car
on the passenger train was the dining
car Delmonica. 1t was split almost in
two lengthwise.
Killed: harry Jones, waiter, of Chi
cago Fatally wounded: Otto Home
dale, conductor of dining-car, scalded
and injured about the body; lives at
Boone, Ia Seriously injured: J.
Westerheid, Omaha, internally injured;
A. w. Brandt, engineer freight engine,
internally; Mike Smith, engineer
freight engine No. 81, internally in
jured; Frank Speck, fireman freight
engine No. 200, cut about face and
body and probably internally injured;
- Madden, fireman of freight en-
CINE No. 81, hurt about head and
shoulders; D. F. Danner, Pullman car
porter, hurt by falling glass; Otto Par
sons, waiter in dinlng-car, crushed and
scalded, will probably die, home in
Omaha.
The following walters and cooks in
the dining-car were more or less in
jured about the hands and face by
flying glass and splinters: T. G. Mad
ray, Chicago; Fred Feonard, Chicago;
Henry Jones, Chicago; Thomas Robin
son, Chicago.
The accident was due to the inability
of the engineer, Mike Smith, of the
head engine, No. 81, of the freight, to
stop his train. The freight, with en-
CINE No. 81 ahead and with the 200. in
charge OF Engineer Brandt, behind, was
just rounding curve half a mile
north of the accident. They ran a lit
tie late and were running at about a
15-mile- an-hour rate. The tracks from
the curve south to where the accident
occurred is a down grade. The sup
position was that the track was clear,
as it should have been, caused the en-
gineers to continue on around the curve
at the maintained rate of speed. En-
gineer Brandt said when the engines
passed the curve he saw the motion
less passenger train, and whistIed for
Down brakes" but before this move
could be made, the engine struck the
dining-car. AS they struck, Brandt
and his fireman jumped, as did En-
gineer Smith and his fireman. The oc-
cupants of the dining-car were totally
unaware of the approaching freight,
and until the rear end of their car was
lifted from its rear wheels and split in
two on the boiler of the big freight
engine. Jones, who was killed, was
caught between the frame of the engine
and the floor of the car and ground to
pieces

every feature connected with the trag-
edy.
Officers have been making special eff
forts TO find the weapon with which the
/ crime was committed by searching all
around the scene of the shooting, the
field through which she is said to have
walked last night, and other places she
is thought to have been, but to no avail
There is some gossip that Saxton
may have been enticed to the Althouse
residence by a decoy letter. This is
based on the statement of Mrs. Alt
house that SaXton knew she was not at
home that evening and that she did not
expect TO be and that, therefore, he had
no reason to call.
The coroner began taking testimony
this afternoon ard examined half a
dozen or more neighbors who heard the
shooting or saw the dead man. The
only DEVELOPMENT of the inquest so far
is a statement by Henry Bederman
that he saw woman in black in front
of the AlthouSe home fire several shots
at man. After the first shot she
walked away and then there came from
the man a faint call for help. She
turned abruptly, walked back and fired
several more shots and then ran away.
He could not tell who the woman was.
LEFT FOR CANTON.
Washington. Oct. 5.-President and

Hayes. The party travelled in the pri-
vate car Campania which was at
taohed to the rear of the regular west
ern express.
John Barber, nephew of the presi-
dent who was recently brought back
here from the front with a well de-
velOped case of typhoid fever and who
is now convalesoing, was brought down
from the Garfield hospital in carriage
and borne in a littre to the car.

Minneapolis, Oct. S.-The government
has notified Governor Clough that ii
has revoked the order putting the com
panies of the Fourteenth Minnesota
volunteers at Duluth and at st. Paul
under his orders. He had all prepare
tons made to send the Duluth COM
panies to the front at once to protect
the settlers, and was arranging to
mobilize the remaining companies at
st. Paul. He supposes that the revo-
cation is due to General Bacons mes
sage saying that the trouble was over.
and that there was no more danger.
He added:
81 shall pay no more attention to the
war department. If necessary 1 shall
issue call for volunteers, arm them
with such guns as 1 can pick up, and
let the government go to the devil. /
am tired of doing business with Wash
ington. There is too much red tape
about it. Orders are issued one min
ute and revoked the next. 1 am not
an alarmist, but it is the safe thing
to be prepared. 1t will reassure the
settlers and perhaps prevent an out
break
The following telegram was sent by
III. C. Corbin, Adjutant General,
Westinghouse one claims that re-
Inducements were needed at Walker. l
have not been asked for assistance
from that quarter though l do not
think that General Bacon has won the
victory he claims. The people gener-
ally say so. The Indians claim that
they have won, and that is my opin-
ion. The people all along the Fosstown
branch of the Great Northern railroad
are very much alarmed, and are ask
ing for assistance or the protection
asked of the war department. The
soldiers are here and are willing and
ready to go, but as you have revoked
your order of yesterday you can do
what you like with your soldiers. The
state of Minnesota viii try and get
along without any assistance from the
department in the future.
(Signed) IN. CLOUGH,
Governor"
Washington. Oct S.-Upon receipt Of
Governor Coughs message, General
Corbin visited the White House, and
showed it to the president. An order
was sent to General Bacon, directing
him to confer with Governor Clough.
and to station troops along the line of
the railroad, in the vicinity of the re-
cent troubles, in such number as will
prevent any danger to the people and
to allay their alarm.
Commissioner of Indian affairs Jones
left today for the scene of the Indian
trouble in Minnesota. He will have a
personal talk with the disaffected men,
and endeavor to induce them to dis
perse quickly and submit to the regu-
lar process of law.

BROKE JAIL.
Four Prisoners Eecape at Elba and Are
 Still at Large.

Special Dispatch to The Age-Hera,d
 Elba, Aug. 13.-Last night four prisoners broke out of jail here and are today at large. Hot pursuit is being made by sev- eral deputies. The escaped men are: John Bowles, white, charged with arson; Jim Freeman, charged with assault and bat tery; Sip Jackson and Marion Hughes, charged with carrying concealed pistols. The last three named are negroes.
 There were six prisoners confined in one compartment of the county jail. About [ o'clock last night the four men who es- capped broke the door to the cell, and, upon hearing Deputy Sheriff Lightner coming up, they closed the door and their work was not detected. Later in the night they secured an iron bar from one portion of r tine cage and began to loosen the bricks in the side wall until a hoie large enough to allow exit was made Betweeiiiidye,s s- 3 o'clock they made good their stolen ffeiy dom by tying blankets together to let themselves safely to the ground. The men endeavored to enlist Ed Lewis and Bob Gibson, who are now confined in jail, in threatened the lives of the two peaceful prisoners if they should give alarm. In- timidated thus, they kept their silence un- til this morning, when their story was told.
 . The evidence left by the flying jailbirds leaves no other impression as to the safe- :. ty of the Coffee county jail than that 1t Is not safe for the keeping of lawbreakers.

 The water works company have decided not to build the large reservoir on which work has already been commenced. It is said it is now their intention to build a smaller reservoir on NcAdory creek, as a reserve supply, greatly improving the pres- ent reservoir and piping the water to the pump directly from Moore's spring. This will insure the city an abundant supply of good pure water.
