TALK WITH JUSTIN KEITH.
His Graphic Description of the Wreck
On the Wabash.

One night during the last national cam
paign, when the country was in a fever of
excitement over the different issues and
business men were making every effort to
combat Organism, a Journal reporter
walked into the lobby of the Denison Hotel
in search of news. Presently he ran across
a jolly looking commercial traveller who
was a Republican of the uncOmpromising
sort. In an interview which the reporter
had with the travelling man the latter pre-
dicted the reelection of President McKin-
ley and also painted a rosy financial future
in the event his first prediction proved cor
rect.
Last night in the lobby of the Denison
the reporter and the travelling man met
again. 1t was their first meeting since the
interview mentioned. Il predicted to you"
said Mr.. Justin Keith, that if Mr.. Bryan
was elected there would follow the most
known, and that If Mr. Mckinley was re-
elected there would be a continuation of
prosperous times and we would see the
country in a condition such as it had never
before experienced in mercantile business.
That prediction has been proved in more
ways than one, for in all of my twenty-five
years on the road l have never had so
prosperous year as the one just closing.
and the indications are that these times
will remain with US. l see no reason why
good times should not continue"
Mr.. keith, VINO represents large new
York firm, was in the Wabash Railway
wreck that occurred the night before
Thanksgiving in Michigan, where many
people were killed. Mr.. Keith wrote a let
ter to his firm, in which he said: This
day do l give thanks to the Giver of all
good and perfect gifts that l am yet with
you in the flesh, but pray my God that L
may never again be called upon to witness
or be in such a horrible wreck as / was
in last night while en- route home over the
Wabash road from Detroit to Chicago. 1
am living to tell the tale, but have lost all
my belongings, which were burned in the
fire after the wreck. / thank God, too,
that l was able to assist eleven persons
from the horrible fate of being burned to
death in the fire which followed Immediate
ly after the wreck. Never while memory
lasts can the horrors of last night be eff
faced from my mind; and to hear the
pteous cries of those children calling
Mamma, help me- Mamma, save me-!
Take me out!' with no possible means of
rendering any assistance. absolutely
beyond human aid, made the stout heart
pale within me, and scores of humanity
persisted within that human rat trap.
Mothers, fathers and children calling for
aid and assistance and no human power
able to give it makes the scene one never
to be forgotten"
