View Of the Wreck Shortly After 1t Occurred.

WRITTEN FOR THE SUNDAY SEPrRItC.
This is what happens when freight train
going at the rate Of forty miles an hour
and a passenger train going at the rate or
seventy miles an hour try "a pass each 9TH
er On the same track. The picture is from u
photograph of the Chicago ana Alton wreck
near Mitchell, ILL.,. on the morning of Octo-
ber 80. when the midnight mail train from
Chicago met a fast special freight from st.
Louis.
Several things are shown by study Of
the picture. The trucks under the big steel
freight car are not those which belong to
that car; they are the trucks that had been
supporting the tender Of the freight engine,
and the body of the tender may be seen on
top OF the freight car. The steel car acted
as a wedge when the tender was thrust
back against 1t and ciaeved the tender in
half.
Practically the same thing was done by
the tender OF the fast mail train when It
