THE ARCHITECTS AT WORK.
At n Meeting in New York the Cen
eral Plans Were Discussed.

Tuesday night, Isaac S. Taylor, of
st. Louis; John NJ. Carrere, Thomas
Hastings and Cass Gilbert, of this
city, and j. Howard Walker, of Bos-
ton, had a dinner at the Metropolitan
club and talked informally over their
plans for the exposition buildings. All
are members of the architects COM
mission of the exposition. They met
j. Knox Taylor, supervising architect
of the United States treasury depart
ment, Wednesday. He will design the
government buildings and at the
meeting the general plans of the ex-
position were discussed. They have
been practically completed by Isaac S.
Taylor. There will be cascades, wa
terfalls, lakes and geysers, most of
them artificial. There will be no
court of honor.
Twelve million dollars will eventu-
ally be spent on buildings and $685.
100000 on the whole exposition, it is
said, instead of the $16,000,O00 now
said to be available. The general
style of architecture will be a free
treatment of the renaissance. Mr..
Taylor has asked members of the ar
chitects' commission to make plans
for buildings. The plans will probably
be completed in the early autumn.
There will be fourteen main build
ings.

treatment of American heroes is sug-
gested by the reminder that whereas
Lord Roberts gets 100000 and an
earldom for his South African serv-

longer Il popular idol; Schley and
Sampson are engaged in a controversy
and Hobson gets a reward wholly in
commensurate. Joe Wheeler, who led
his command on an army cot, gets
only the half pay of his retired rank,
and the Tenth legion" that saved the
day at San Juan is-where are those
brave black fellows, anyway?

Jacksonville, ILL.,, Aug. 21.-At 1920
Wednesday morning the Alton Hum
mer,'' which left Chicago at $3.50
Tuesday night crashed into way
freight No. 10 in the yards at Prem
tice, a siding ~ miles north of here.
1t was a head end collision and five
men we're killed and six injured.
The Killed.
Con Sheehan, engineer passenger

John Adams, fireman passenger

Three unknown men on tender.
The Injured.
Robert Kiley, Jacksonville; leg
broken. internal injuries.

VIM. Mason, Stuttgart, Ark, ribs

Passenger Escaped.
All passengers escaped with only a
few of them being even bruised.
When the crash came all lights on
the train were dashed out in a second
The smoker rolled over on it's side
and the dozen or more men with rare
presence of mind climbed from the
windows without confusion.
The two engines were completely
wrecked. as were the tenders, the
smoker and one freight car. The ten

scoped into the smoker.
A Relief Train.
S. d. Reeve, Alton passenger trans
portation master, was on the Hum
mer' and Immediately took relief
measures. A special train was or.
dered from Jacksonville and arrived
at 1:45 with Doctors Carl Z. Black
Edward Bowe, II. C. Campbell and L
+. Baker.
The debris could be seen by the
light of bonfires and on the track lay
the dead, covered with white, and the
wounded, who lay groaning neal
them.
All that surgeons could do wa.
done promptly for the injured and il
was not very long until the relic
train was on it's way to Jacksonvill,
with its burden of dead and injured.
Accident Unexplained.
just how the accident occurred will
perhaps never be known. One theory
is that the freight, which had beer
waiting on the Prentice siding, grad
ually slipped down upon the mair
track, while the trainmen wer,
drowsy. 1t is remarkable, consider
ing the great speed of the passenger
train and the violent crash, that nj
passengers were injured.
The Hummer included tire,
sleepers, one chair car, the combina
ton smoker and baggage. Most o
the passengers only felt a jar, not o
sufficient violence to throw them from
their seats.

So great was the destruction
wrought by the explosion that it will
probably be weeks before the damage
can he repaired and the bodies of the
unfortunate workmen recovered.
James Williams, who lost his life in
the accident, was one of the men who
so heroically entered the tunnel after
the accident of last week at Crib No.
2, in search of victims of that disas-
ter. Plummer Jones, who at that
time descended into the shaft with
Williams, was overcome with gas and
died in the tunnel.

Mayor johnson visited the scene of
the accident, and Immediately upon

the city was now justified in taking
the work out of the hands of the con-
tractors, and that if possible this
would be done.

men were engaged in digging a tun-
mel in the direction of No. . crib,
when the fatal explosion occurred.
The Shaft Shattered.
The heavy casing of the shaft was
shattered by the terrific force of the
explosion and an immense volume of
water from the lake rushed in upon
the unfortunate workmen at the bot
tom. Two men who were at work on
staging at the top of the shaft were
blown high into the air, but alighted
on the crib, and beyond being
stunned. were not seriously injured.
Night of Vain Signaling.
The accident occurred early Tues
day night, but nothing was known of
it on shore until Wednesday norm
ing. For some uneNplainable reason
no boats are kept at the cribs. Thir-
~ men who were on the crib spent
the night vaily signaling for as
%sistance. 1t was long after daylight
before a tug reached them.
Supposedly struck n Vein of Gas.
1t is supposed hat the men digging
struck a vein of gas which was ignit-
ed by a spark made by a workman's
pick.
Heavy iron girders and machinery
weighing more than a hundred tons
were forced out of the shaft by the
explosion. The crib was wrecked.
Death must have been instantaneous
to the workmen in the tunnel, for
their comrades above heard no out
cry.
