WRECK i0F A TRAIN.
Cars Pilsd One on the. Other in
an lnex'rlcable Mass.
SIXTEEN PERSONS KILLED.
The Accident Occurredin a Lone.
ly County at Midnight.
Hours Bsfore Wounded
Were Treated.

Sixteen persons were killed and
about so were seriously injured in
wreck Of train No. 8. the west bound
Wabash limited, nine miles west Of
Porea, Ind, at 1890 a. M, Wednes-
day. The dead are all Italian. emigsnts
en- route to Colorado, whose names are
unknown. Two sections Of train No.
8, one coming from Detroit snd the
other from Toledo were consolidated in
this city into train Of eleven cars,
making up the flyer for its journey to
St. Louis. It consisted Of combina-
ton baggage and express, combination
baggage and smoker, day coach, emi-
grant coach, three chair cars, three
sleepers and the private car Of General
Superintendent Jotter Of the Iron
Mountain railway. Having left this
city one hour late the train was speed
ing westward at high rate when at .
point nine miles west the engine
plunged through trestle which had
been undermined by the recent heavy
rains. The embankment on both sides
Of the little stream dropped at sharp
degree distance Of forty feet. Owing
to the momentum Of the train the en-
gine appeared to leap nearly across the
embankment, plunged into the soft
earth on the opposite side and fell back
to the bottom. Engineer Butler and
Fireman Adams were thrown from the
cab but not seriously hurt. The ex-
press cay and the first chair car were
telescoped. The emigrant Car followed
BY tWo chair cars went down on the
left side Of the track and the first
sleeper pitched forward upon the mass
OF debris. Its windows and trucks
were broken, but zone Of the oecg-
pants we're Injured. The remaining
cars also left their trucks, but were not
badly damaged. It was IN the eni-
grant and day coaches that most Of tae
deaths and injuries occurred.
There was absolutely no means by
which the engine crew could see the
impending danger; in fact, the engine
ran out upon the trestle before the
etIoSGO1o gave way
The night was intensely dark. For
q few minutes after the fatal plunge
and dreadful roar of crashing timbers,
a deathly stiffness prevailed, which
was only broken by the cries Of the In
jured. Trainueo caught up their Ian
terms and rushed to the neignboring
farm houses FOR assistance. The farm
ers, with their wives and children,
bearing torches, hsstened to the scene.
All efforts were bent to giving first
aid to the injured. Telephone mes
sages we're dispatched to this city and
every physician was hurriediy taken
to special train which carried them
to the scene. The injured we're placed
about on cots and everything possible
done to amelicrate their condition.
For time after the rescurers reach.
ed the scene Of the wreck little could
be done in the way Of moving the
dead. Hundred Of tons Of twisted iron
and broken timbers rested upon the
car where the unfortunate emigants
were crushed.
By means of Wrecking derricks the
mass was gradually opened and BY
daylight nearly all the dead had been
removed to the oitv.

Attorney General Douglas has taken
steps to dissolve the American Mining
investment company, and yesterday af-
ternoon Sheriff Megaarden served an or
der upon w s. Brill, president of the
company, directing him to appear before
the district court June II, and show cause
why the charter of the corporation
should not be revoked.
The company was organized Nov 22
1899, and since that time has occupied
luxurious Offices At present 1t is located
on the sixth floor of the Andrus building
IN Minneapolis, where a large office force
is maintained
The company. has done large business
but the attorney general claims that it
has been in violation of law.
It's business has been the promotion
OF mining, but under the terms of its
revised charter it could engage in man
ufacturing, transportation, and almost
anything it might choose. One purpose,
according to it's articles of Incorporation,
was to borrow and raise money"
This it is claimed it did, but the state
says its methods were not above susp:-
cion. 1t has paid dividends regularis-,
but the attorney general asserts the
money was not earned by the mines, but
came from the sale of stock, of which 1t
has an ineXhaustible quantity, one COM
pany being capitalized for half a billion
dollars.
The business of tho COMPANY, it is as
serted, is TO sell the stock of. the ket-
tie Curlew Mining company, capitalized
at S25, 900, GOO; of the boundary Camp
Mining Ard Milling company. capitalized
at $25,00O0O0. and the Queen Bee Mining
and Mtlliag company, eapitai7ed at

tional Mtnmg From 3tion company, the

pany is charged with selling the
stock of the Union Consolidat-
ed Mining company, which has

Attorney General Douglas was seen
yesterday AFTERNOON, and while ne tacit-
ly admitted that he had made some in
vestigatiOn of the affairs of the COM
pany, he would not make any detailed
statemnt for publication, his refusal be-
ing based on the ground that it would
be premature at that time. None of the

JOY OF THEOSOPHY.
IT'S ADVOCATES TELL OF THE
SOIAACE IT GIVES.

A regular meeting of the ST. Paul
Theosophical society, was held last night
in Room 537, Endicott building, Mrs. G.
B. Grave, the president, presided. The
subject for discussion was 'Reincarna-
tiOn." Several interesting papers were
read, after which a general discussion
ensued and a number of objections were
refuted by the president. In a paper
vanced that retncarnation is universal
principle in nature, and not a, circum-
stance wholly pertaining to man. The
speaker held that at MO time in the
worlds s history has the theory Of incar-
nation been SO largely discussed as at
the present time, when the intellectual
growth of the people refuses to be satis-
fid with unsubstantiated conjecture and
speculation. In this connection the speak
err held that if our future is to be a
state of progression, it would be incon-
sistent to believe that mortals would
leave this planet, never to return, when
there are vast resources still undiscover-
ed and obligations unfulfilled
Then there is that piteous cry" the
speaker said, "that wells up from many
human hearts when it is realized that the
life journey is nearly spent-if 1 only
could live my life over again, how diff
ferent I would do; if 1 only had another
chance to atone for the past, how happy
I would be-" To this cry reincarnation
says: 'Be comfOrted, you will have an
other chance; you may come back again
and live to make good the errors and
wrong doing Of your present life"
