Logansport. Ind, June 26 The st
Louis fast express on the Wabash rail
road, due in LOgsnsport at IL O'Clock
last night, was wrecked at point
about seven miles east of Logsnsport
at midnight last night, the entire train
consisting of nine cars, with the excep-
tion of the three sleepers and the pri-
yate car of w. NJ. Carter, general super.
intendent of the Iron Mountain X
Southern railroad, going down thirty
foot embsnkment into the ditch.

whom will probably die of the injuries
received.
ing Peru and was running to make up
time when the accident occurred. and
the only wonder is that the list of killed
is not larger than it is, for from the
terrible destruction which the scene of
the accident showed it is almost incon-
ceivable that any person in The almost
totally demolished cars lying on the
side of the high embsnkment ever
came out of the pile of debris, splin-
tered timbers and twisted irons alive.
The engine left the track and plunged
down the north side of the embank-
ment, turning completely over, while
the express car and baggage car imme-
distely following we're telescOped. The
next car, the smoker, went down the
embsnkment end first, and was fol
lowed by an emigrant car filled with
Italian emigrsnts, and the two cars lay
side by side on the south side of the
embankment, one end of each in the
ditch and the other standing up to the
tracks. These two cars were nothing
but mass of broken iron and wood
and in these the terrible destruction to
life and limb occurred.
The dead are:

FANNIE MUHLGIE, of New Y ork
city.
Two Italian men, migrants. Not
identified.
Five Italian women Not identified
Two Italian babies. Not identified.

Thomas Roberts, who went to Hunts
vile, Tenn, two weeks ago, has re-
turned home. He went there to see q
farm which he traded for without see

of it and it was represented to him as
being covered with huge timber. Mr..
Roberts had great expectations of bis

He ives told that there was town of
600 inhabitants near his farm, but there
are only about thirty people there, he
says. Furthermore, instead of being
timbered land, sll the timber has been
taken off of it. He was also supposed
to get property numbered 4062S on the
record, but when the deed came it was
numbered 40,728.
Mr.. Thomas now comes back upon
Frank Hawk, of whom he purchased
the property, and demands the return of
his money because of misrepresenta.
tion. Hawk, who sold the property to
Thomas, had never seen it either, hav-
ing purchased it upon representation of
his son-in law, who had traded g farm
in Union township for IL to Wesley
Rhinehart, the barber, employed at

say that they will commence legal pro-
ceedings against Mr.. Rhinehart.

Some Pitiful scenes.
Some of those killed outright were

while others were covered with the dirt
and CRIME of the wreckage until 1t was
impossible TO tell at a glance whether
they were white or black, American or
foreign.
One of the most pathetic and pitiable
sights witnessed was that Of q man, an
Italian. who with his wife and little
boy were on their way to possibly some
western home that they hoped TO make
in the new country. The father wac
badly injured, but the little boy. a
pretty little fellow of some four years,
had had his little life crushed out by
the cruel timbers of the splintered car.
The father thought not once of his
own hurts, he never felt the pain In
body or limb, bot the pain was all In
the heart as he would tenderly and
tesrfully lift the lifeless form of his be
loved little one in his arms and pressing
it to his breast wept and murmured In
his native tongue, my little boy; my
poor little boy" Many a stout heart
fsltered and many strong man turned
away his face to hide the tears that
would come as he witnessed the grief
of this stricken father.

which, by the way, are few in number,
are laying particular stress upon the
fact that American railroads are buy
ing rails this year cheaper than any
other country in the world. They
point cut that in England the prices
are about SIS higher than the rate de-
cided upon her. They also lay stress
upon the fact that the Continental
roads will pay about IS more than
what American roads will pay. 1t is
now claimed by the steel companies
that the railroads are satisfied $26 a
ton will be maintained.
Last year." said the representative
Of one of the large concerns, I'VE made
a price which was agreed to in most
of the large contracts. When the prices
of others materials advanced, and
manufacturers were warranted in in
creasing their prices they did not do
so. On the other hand, when the
prices fell, and the manufacturers
were justified in reducing it was decid-
ed that such a course would be unfair
to the purchasers who had banked on
prices being kept up. fYou will find"
he continued, that the railroads of the
country will place their orders right
along at the rate determined upon. AS
a matter Of fact it costs more to
manufacture rails now that it did
some years ago. The trains are heav-
Ter and better rails are required"
A canvass of the offices of the rail
manufacturing companies in Pittsburg
showed that, while some contracts
have been taken, none of the large
consumers has placed orders. It is
pointed out that it is early yet. Some

and that altogether a tonnage of L.

pared with 1000, 900 last year. An Of
fetal of the New York Central was
quoted by a news agency as saying it
was the intention of that company to
pay $26 a ton for rails.
