|DUE 70 THE DENSE FOG.
Chicago Enveloped In the Densest
Fog Ever Experienced in
That City.
WAS CAUSE OF NUMEROUS COLLISIONS.
one Man Killed, Two Fatally Injured
and Fifteen Others Seriously
Hurt, Principally by Rear-End
Collisions ON the Elevated Rail-
roads.

Chicago, Nov. 20.-The thickest fog
ever experienced in Chicago caused
numerous collisions between trains
early Tuesday morning. In these col
lisions one man was killed, two were
so badly injured that they will prob
ably die, and IS others were seriously
ly hurt. Scores of others, the police
say, were injured in minor accidents
due to the fog, but as they were able
to assist themselves no official re-
ports were made. Every ambulance
in the city was kept busy from $3.50
a. m. to 1880 a. m. in carrying the in
jured to their homes or hospitals.
The more serious accidents occurred
on the Metropolitan and the Lake
Street elevated roads. There were
two collisions on the Lake street H."
two on the South Side H." one on
the Northwestern - and one be-
tween suburban trains of the Rock
Island and Lake Shore roads. Colli-
sions between vehicles and surface
cars were frequent, but while great
number of people were injured by
them, none of the injuries incapaci-
tated them, and the damage was
chiefly to the colliding objects them
selves. The record of deaths and in
injuries follows:
On Metropolitan Elevated.
Thomas Meeny, standing on rear
platform; crushed to death.
Fred Jones, both legs severed; will
die.
William Upton, serious internal in
juries.
Harry Twohey, internal injuries.
Chas. Gallagher, foot crushed, in
ternal injuries.
Adolph Goldberger, toes crushed,
knee fractured.
Fred S. Islip, left arm and leg
broken.
A. U. Baumgart, badly cut and
bruised.
Louis Davis, injured internally.
Fred Schweil, foot crushed.
Peter Anderson, cut and bruised
about head and body.

The Fog Was Very Dense.

The fog at early morning was so
thick that persons standing on the
sidewalk could scarcely distinguish
street cars passing within a few feet
of them, and motormen kept their
gongs changing a constant warning.
The collision on the Metropolitan
was between trains going the same
way, as was the case in other acci-
dents. Both trains were crowded,
many passengers standing on the rear
platforms. On the first train these
were almost the only ones to suffer.
The motorman slowed up going round
curve, and while waiting for sig
nal to increase speed, the Humboldt
Park express train crashed into the
rear. That was almost the only warn
ing the passengers on the rear plat
form had of the approaching express.

Business Changes.

By an arrangement entered into be
tween several of the mercantile firms
of the city the business of the King.
man Mercantile Company is taken over
by the other firms, each taking some
certain part of the stock. Messrs.
Lovin and Withers takes the groceries,
Gaddis & Perry Company the hard
ware, ana The Taggart Mercantile Com
pany the crockery and part of some
other lines. Messrs. Lovin & Withers
will at once move into the store room
now occupied by the Kingman Mer-
camille Company and this company
will move its stock of dry goods, shoes
aud gents furnishings into the store
vacated by Lovin & Withers. In this
way Lovin & Withers will succeed to
the grocery business and Mr.. Bowers
of the Mercantile Com psny will con-
time in the furnishing and dry goods
lines. The new move is good one for
the mercantile firms and we might say
for all concerned in the transaction.

We understand that the White Hill s
Mining Company has closed down all
OF iis works at White Hills. The canse
OF the shutdown Is unknown as Is the
future intentions Of the company. The
mines of White Hills have been wonder
fully rich 10 both gold and silver, but
the former arrangements of the COM
pany were grossly negligent OF its well
fare. Vast sums of money were spent
In useless Improvements and reck'
lessly squandered. We hope that the
company will at least sink prospect
shaft TO exploit the mines at depth
OF 1000 feet, as the ore bodies so far
encountered would lead TO The belief
that there are better bodies and as
good grade ores deep down as on the
surface. Should the mines be turned
over to tributers the old silver camp
will become one OF the most prosper.

Kansas Gold ShaIes Don't Pan Out.

A week ago the syndicate in which
W. II. Gushing is interested purchased
the Gage mill and on their own ac.
count made test of the Trego county
shales. Three tons of the shales we're
run and but two and one half cents ob.
tained. Gage claimed to own a new
process by which gold could be ex.
tracted from the shales that fire assay
could not obtain. He apparently OBJ
tanned from six to thirty dollars from
these shales, while assayers obtained
but trace at most In the manipu-
lation of the mill he hoodwinked many
people in Topeka and other parts of
Kansas and the shales along the
Smokey Hills river were gobbed up by
the thousands of acres at good figures.
These lands are worthless for other
purposes aud the poor dupes have to
pocket large losses. Prof. Fahrig, of
Philadelphia, claims that he is able TO
obtain large results by an electrolytic
process from these deposits, but he
will probably be allowed to make his
experiments at his own expense.
Colin Timmons, formerly of this coun.
ty, visited the deposits aud made a
thorough test of the material, but ob.
tanned no results.
In Denver there is another of these
takers who claims that he can obtain
from tailings showing but trace by
fire assay more than zoos by his pro.
cess, and there are people who profess
to believe him.
