Third Disaster Caused BY
Spreading Rails.

A special from Rockford, ILL.,, says:
Failure on the part OF conductor to
obey orders is supposed to have been
the cause of head-end collision on
the Illinois Central between Irene and
Perryville early Sunday morning which
resulted in six dead, two missing and
eleven hurt. The two trains were the
eastbound passenger No. 4 and q
through freight from Chicago going
west.
The trains met in short bend IN the
track, both running at full speed. The
smoking, express and baggage cars.
were piled on the locomotives, pinning
in the occupants of the smoker, which
took fire. Only three Of the half dozen
in that car escaped. The others, II not
instantly killed, were roasted to death
and their bodies, along with those OF
the engine crew, were consumed.
ALI efforts Of the survivors TO reach
the victims were unavailing. The
flames drove them back at every point.
The temperature was 20 degrees below
zero and an icy wind was blowing
across the prairie, the point where the
wreck occurred being In shallow cut,
affording no protection. The injured;
were without hats and wraps and sufs
fered terribly. By the united efforts
of the urvivors one car was pushed
back from the wreckage to escape the
flames and the wounded were placed:
on the hunks inside. Two hours
elapsed before any relief was at hand.
