Rock Island Argus. (Rock Island, Ill.) 1893-1920, 1901-11-29

Detroit. Nov. 29.-When night fell
over'the scene of Wednesday evenings
awful calamity ON tine Wabash rail
road near Seneca. Mich. those who had
been investigating the disaster had
found nothing to alter the estimate Of
about eighty lives lost as a result of
the collision. Superintendent George
NJ. Burns. of the division on which the
wreck occurred. insists that the csti-
mates are too high. Il do not consid-
err" said he, that the total death list
will exceed twenty" However. in
support of the larger estimate it is
pointed out that there are now four
teen passengers known to DE dead.
The bodies OF eight Of these have been
recovered. and it is considered. that the
fragments of other bodies now in the
mOrgue at Adrian will account for
many more than the twelve dead nee
eSsary to make up superintendent
Burns estimate of twenty.
Number of EmigrantS i'm Dispute.
In addition TO the comparatively few
fragments recovered and sent to the
mOrguc those who were early on the
scene say that many more pieces were
discovered which crumbled to powder
while they were being removed Su-
perintendent Burns said TO the AssOci-
ated Press that he thought there We're
not more than fifty Italian emigrants
on board No. 13. Passengers on the
train and a number of those who We're
early on the scene say the number was
nearer eighty. Ticket Collector Eames.
OF train No. 13. probably knows nearer
than any one else the number. Engi-
neer Strong. Superintendent Burns
says. is responsible for the collision
and holocaust.
Order That Was DisreEarded.
Considerable light was thrown on
tho cause-of the disaster by the orders
which the conductor showed as his an
thOrity for proceeding past Sand Creek.
The order which was delivered to the
train at Holloway read as follows:
NO 1. engine No. 600. will meet No.
Is at Seneca. and No. 3. engine No.
623. Sand Greek. Engines Nos. SS and
151 will double-head No. 13.'' 1t is
understood that the engineer and con-
ductor of No. & received a similar order
at Montpelier. o.. but If so these or
ders were disregarded. II it develops
that the orders issued to both trains
were to the same end il is considered
that the responsibility for the disaster
rests wholly with the engineer and
conductor of the east-bOund COntinen-
tai limited.

New York, January GA meeting of
the grain export trade represented on
the New York Produce Exchange has
been held to consider the question OF
excluding Montreal and Portland Me-,
from contracts wherein shipment Is re-
stricted to Atlantic port or ports" The
matter was brought to the attention OF

posed addition to the trades rules provid-
ing that atlantic port or ports' shall
be understood to include the following
ports upon the Atlantic seaboard: Bos-
ton, New York, Philadelphia, Baltimore,
Newport News and Norfolk.
There were present. f. E. Craig. presi
dent of the Montreal Corn Exchange
association, and A. +. Reeves, foreign
freight agent o. the Grand Trunk rail-
way.
A communication was read from grain

practical grain inspections system had
Just been established and asking that
the discrimination against Portland be
therefore removed MIR. Reeves suppo rt-
ed this statement.
1t was finally decided by the meeting
to defer the action on the proposed rui

inspection department and place 1t on a
proper business basis.
