Disastrous Train Wreck

Logansport, Ind, June 26.-The Wa
bash fast passenger train from Buffalo
due here last night at IL o'clock ran into
wssh-out four miles east OF here early
this morning while running 60 miles 40
hour to make up for lost time, causing
a heavy loss of life and Injury to about
80 persons. The engine and six cars
went over a high embsnkment. The
baggage aud express cars were tele.
scoped and rolled to toe bottom, follow
ed by the emigrsnt and the day coaches.
The cars were splintered and piled up
in a tangled macs; the sleepers and
private cars stayed on the rails. Es-
Inmates of the dead run from II to 80,
most of them Italians. Fourteen
bodies of dead have been recovered but
many more are thought to be under the
wreckage. 1t may not be known how
many emigrants were killed until the
debris has been cleared away, "a the
conductor has lost ell of his tickets and
papers. The escape of the engineer and
fireman from instant death Ia q miracle.
The engine rolled over and over In its
plunge down the embankment and
landed 10 heap at the bottom.
A severe storm that swept across the
country two hours before the wreck
caused the washout.

THE WASHINGTON FERRY.-The
plan for the bstterment of terry facili-
ties between this city and Washington
il said to be gradually crystsllzing, and
the ideas set forth in this column day
or two ago, are, 1t is believed, destined
to be put into practical operation. An
effort is being made to make the ferry
an Alexandria institution, and with this
end 10 view Alderman J. nj. Hill has
recently been hard at work. Parties
with whom he is associated have an
option on the property, and Mr.. Hill is
ready to take one fourth OF the stock
provided the merchants of this city will
subscribe reasonable amount. Those
who patronlze the ferry in the ship
ment OF goods will be called upon to
subscribe small amounts which will not
be burdeDsome upon any single per-
son. but the sum in the aggregate will
be more than sufficient to run the ferry
at reduced fares and In satisfactory
manner to the travelling public. 1t is
also the purpose of the originator to
have an Alexsndrian az president and
some OF our merchants on the board Of
directors. They hope by such means
to realize the benefits portrayed by the
Gazette recently, and thereby make 1t
more desirable for people who work In
Washington to live in Alexandria.
