Four Persons Killed and TWen-
 t-Nine As Injured
PASSENGER COACHES BURN
One of the Trains Was the Omaha Flyer and Was Loaded With Passengers-Wrecko Occur
 red at Malta Siding.

Chicago, Ill. December 29.--Four per sons were killed and twenty7nine more or less seriously injured in the shock or by the scalding steam that enveloped the wrecked coaches in a collision on the Chicago & Northwestern Railroad today at Malta, Illinois, sixty miles west of Chicago. The trains in collision were "The Omaha Flyer" an eastbound pas senger train and an east bound freight train. The wreck caught fire and two passenger coaches, one sleeping car and eight freight cars were burned and sleeping car was partly burned. The dead:
 George w. Rudio, Western agent Kirk Soap Company, residence 137 North 32d Avenue, Omaha.
 Mrs. George W. Rudio Omaha,
 D. o. Nichols, Council Bluffs, Iowa.
 F. B. Duncan, sleeping car porter, Chicago.
 With the exception of three employees of the road, Curran, Larrabee and O'Neil, who were seriously hurt, the injured are suffering from bruises and cuts from falling glass. All were attended immediate ly by surgeons from Rochelle and De- Kalb and later were removed to St. Luke's hospital in Chicago by special train.
 Freight Train Had Taken Siding.
 The freight train had taken a siding at Malta but the train was longer than the siding and the freight locomotive pro- truded upon the main track beyond the side tarck The incoming train from the west was not stopped until the two locomotives "cornered' at the switch, the ditch, several coaches piling upon the wreck. The cars caught fire from the locomotive. Officials of the railroad say the switch at the east end of the sid ing was opened through mistake and that the responsibility probably lies with some Duncan, the sleeping car porter, was the only person killed outright. MT. and Mrs. Rudio and MT. Nichols died from their injuries while being brought to Chi cago.
 | George w. Rudio in the rear Pullman from Omaha with his wife was fearfully burned by steam and in spite of all medi- cal aid died half an hour after the acci- dent in great agony. Mrs. Rudio, who was brought to Chicago on the relief train was so badly burned that she died a few | minutes after her arrival at St. Lukes | hospital

CARS PLUNGE INTO THE RIVER
An Accident to the Long Island
Railways Floating Equipment.

NEW YORK. March 12-Seventeen
loaded freight cars, in transit from Jersey
City on a car-fioat belonging to the Long
Island Railroad, We're tipped into the
East River off Grand Street early this
morning by an accident to the float, sup
posedly in collision with an unknown yes
sci. The captain of the tug Peter Mel
son, forty-seven years old, of l6l Hunter
Avenue. Long Island City, the only per-
son who could be expected to know why
the accident occurred. has not been seen
since and is believed to be drowned.
The cars were loaded with coal, and
went Immediately to the bottom. tipping
out the coal as they went. Each car
held twenty-five tons, making in all Il
loss of 1000 which cannot be recovered.
The cars can be taken from the river.
In capsizing they tore away the upper
works of the tug Syosset. which was do
ing the towing. and damaged her TO the
extent of 5000.
Very few accidents of this sort have oC-
CURED in the port, and sufficient mystery
surrounds this one to make the railroad
officials uncertain as to the cause. Not
the least mark which would indicate Il
collision, either with another vessel or
with an obstruction in the bottom of the
river is visible on the float, which now
lies bottom up at the piers Of the rail-
road company. A float of this sort car
ries eighteen cars. Consequently it could
not have been improperly loaded with
seventeen cars
The Long Island Railroad tug SyOsset was
taking the big railroad float to the yards
of the road at Long Island City some time
before daylight. When off Grand Street
some unknown vessel Is believed suddenly
to have bumped into the port side of the
float. She could not be seen by the tug
pilot, who was on the starbOard side, but
She gave the float big list to starboard
and things began to look interesting Tor
the tug Lest the tug should be pulled
under. the pilot had her cut loose at once.
and the tug drfted away from the float.
Immediately afterward the float turned
quite upside down, and the freight cars
were precipitated into the river. The
smokestack of tnS Syosset had been
knocked off before she got free, and it lay
across the bottom of the float as II
drlfted down the stream. The pilot house
of the tug was also smashed, and the
machinery somewhat damaged. An Oiler
on the tug was thrown into the water
where he was picked up by tug of the
Consolidated Railroad.
The aimless drifting of the big railroad
float and the tug down the stream at
tracted the attention of boatmen, and
when off the Battery some Long Island
Railroad tugs headed by the tug Leader
hitched to the float and towed II up the
East River to the piers of the railroad
company. The Long Island tug Montauk
went to the rescue of the Syosset and
took her to the same place.
The superintendent of the floating
equipment of the Long Island Railroad
went out to make an investigation

RECRUITS IN PLENTY.
No Trouble to Fill the Ranks of the
New Army.

War Department officials are greatly
pleased with the work of recruiting for
the new army. 1t was thought some
months ago that there would be difficulty
in securing recruits, owing to the lack Of
military enthusiasm and the absence of
any active fighting.
Reports from recruiting officers. how
ever. show that the number of enlist
ments has steadily increased since the
new recruiting Offices were opened. The
returns FOR the first week. ending Febrl-

week ending February Is, 426 men were
enlisted the third week showed 5g9 en-
listments. and the next week $50. For
the week ending last Friday 7S6 men were
enlisted
This is regarded as particularly encour-
aging because of the high standard re-
quired of each recruit. Not only is the
legal standard strictly upheld but re-
cruiting officers have been directed also
to enquire carefully into the antecedents
of the applicant and accept only men Of
