ALSO CAUSED BY A WASHOUT.
Wreck Near OcIwcin in Which One
Man Is Killed.


Oelwein, Ia, May 29.-Passenger
train No. 2, the Chicago limited on tho
Chicago Great Western railway, vas
wrecked at = o'clock yesterday morn-
ing four miles north of Oelwein. The
wreck was the result of Il waShout
caused by a heavy rain which lasted
for several hours Saturday night. The
train consisted of a baggage and
buffet car, three sleepers and two
chair cars. 1t was coming down grade
at Il speed of about sixty miles an
hour. The water bad washed out the
bridge, but the rails remained and to
the engineer the track looked clear.
The train struck tie washOut and
the engine, FOLLOWED by five cars,
jumped over il and piled up on the
other side. The engine broke loose
and plunged down an embankment.
The cars which followed it were tele-
scoped on the roadbed, and were tie
mass of kindling wood. The engineer
and fremen jumped and sustained Sc
we're injuries, not necessarily fatal.
The dead:
JOHN MANNING, colored porter,
head crushed; residence, Minneapolis.
The injured:
f. Bishop, engineer, Minneapolis.
+. Fuller, fireman, Minneapolis.
{. Grciginger, conductor, Minncapo-
lis.
Baggageman Miller, Minneapolis.
Mrs. Brandyberry, Montpelier, O.
Mr.. Necsc, express messenger, badly
hurt, st. Paul.
The chances are that all will recover.
The engineer and fireman are burned
from escaping steam. Conductor
Greigingcr is cut about the head. Mrs.
Brandyberry is injured internally, and
also in the back and spine. The inju-
rics Of these persons, while not ncccS-
sarily serious, are very painful. With
the possible exception of the engineer
and Mrs. Brandyberry all will recover.
The dead porter leaves a wife and
three children.
Wrecking crews were Immediately
put at work and trains were running
over the line by means Of Il sidetrack
Sunday night.
A great amount Of damage has been
done to the baggage Of the passengers.
The officials of the road arrived at
the wreck from st. Paul early i'm the
morning. They sought out all the in
jured passengers and have arranged
settlement of most of the claims. The
estimated loss in property to the Great
Western is over 500, 900.

Favorite Story ofJoseph Jefrerson's

Favorite Story of Joseph Jcfferson's
Chicago Record: There is n story OF
Joseph Jefferson, which, although il is
not entirely new, the actor himself is
fond of repeating. He was asked
some ten years ago, to spend a week
with a Scotch peer. Among the guests
was a naughty and brilliant lady, who
was the daughter of an earl.

there must have been a homespur
flavor in my American manner that

first, and answered some of her absurd
questions about America quite limo.

"She kept her c~ountenance SO well
that L might never have discovered

for the idiotic grin on the smooth face
of one of her boyish admirers. And
then / felt, for the honor of my coun.
try, that if she ever made another
thrust at me I would parry it if
could. ] had not long to wait, for, EN-.
boldened by her success, she turned
upon me and said:

latelyT
"No, madam / replied with perfect
seriousness, Il vas out when her ma
jesty called upon me-
"She colored slightly, and then
turned away and never spoke to me
again. But L was revenged."

1t was several hours before the
bodies were taken out.
Death Insuead Of a Wedding.
One of the saddest cases was that Of
r. III. Schweppe, of Alton, Ill. lie was
cut about the head and his wounds,
both external and internal, were bleed
ing freely when he was taken from the
wreck. To a physician he confided
that he was on his way to Minneapolis
to get married. He expected to reach
there Sunday morning, and the cere.
mony was to be performed at once. He
asked n physician to telegraph his
father and his sweetheart. Tell her."
he gasped, that ] have been detained
by a wreck, and cannot keep the APP
pointment on time. Don't say more"
He expected to get better, but
breathed his last at S:15 o'clock.
The dispatch he dictated was sent,
and it is hoped it partly prepared his
sweetheart for the message that fol-
lowed an hour later.
An elderly lady sat i'm the smoking
apartment of one sleeping ear bending
over the form of a young man.
a doctor entered and as he placed
his hand on the cold brow the woman
with sorrow pictured upon her face,
waited hopefully for Il word which
might remove her fears. But they
came not. The man was dead. With
choking voice she said: "Ilc was my
boy, my darling boy" Your SOM"
NO; my son died two years ago, but,
this n said he would take his place
If no could, end he was to marry my
daughter next week. Oh. but ii will
kill her. The woman was Mrs. j..
Morganstern, of st. Paul, and the dead
man was David J.. Halo, of Minneap-
oils. The daughter, Miss Laura Nor
ganstern, is said to be n niece Of Ad-
miral Schloy.
The scenes about the disaster are too
horrible to depict with any degree of
accuracy. Especially were the occur
rences heartrending when the bodies
of the killed and injured were being
carried out.
The darkness was so intense that tha
identity of the inanimate forms could
not be told. Mothers were searching
for their children, there having been
a number on the train, and strange
as il may seem, none of the children
received fatal injuries.
+. j. Day, of Allison, Ia, "A passenger,
said:
THE train was running at good
speed, and at a point about three or
four miles from Waterloo it left the
track. The engine and baggage car
were thrown about ten feet. The cngi-
neer evidently had his engine under
excellent control, as ] never saw such
a sudden stop. The smoker, where
sat, telescoped the baggage car, and |
found myself, with the brakeman, on
