A GREAT COLLISION.
Smashup at the Junction Sunday Morning. No
One Injured.

At three o'clock Sunday morning. pas
sengGr train No. So On the Milwaukee
road and sOuth-bound freight on the
Chicago and Northwestern railway.
smashed together at the Junction.
Several ears and an engine were demOl-
lshed. The wreck was one Of the worst
seen here fer a long time. No one was
hurt. Passenger train No. IS was in
charge Of Conductor Arthur Moulding,
with DANES Carroll as engineer. When
approaching the crossing, the engineer
tried t0 work the air brakes but they did
not work. He Whistled for the brakes to
make the stop, but the train being a
heavy enc and going down hill, it was
impossible to stop it. In the mean time
a south bound freight on the Chicago
and Northwestern railway was passing
over the crossing at the Junction and the
passenger train on the Milwaukee road
dashed into it. The engineer Of the
freight train hearing the signal for
brakes, brought his train nearly to
standstill and then jumped off. In that
way not near as much damage was done
as If the train been going at full
speed.
The engine Of the passenger train and
a baggage and mail car were badly
wrecked. Two freight cars loaded with
ties were totally destroyed.
Most Of the passengers were asleep
when the accident happened and did not
feel the shock Of the collision anu none
OF them were injured. The engineer and
fireman on the passenger engine jumped
when few feet from the crossing. A
tramp who was stealing a ride on the
baggage car jumped just in time to save
his life.
Wrecking crews from Milwaukee and
We~e called to clear the track,
the crossing being cleared at 9 a. IN. but
the Milwaukee road track was not
cleared until almost noon. The fast mail
went ever the cid line and traffic was
deayed considerable.
After the Milwaukee read track had
been cleared freight train from the
east attempted to go through but the
rails were little loose and spread as
they were going over and ten freight
cars were deraiied. It took some time
before the cars were put On the track
again and it was near noon before the
line was open.

GEN. CORBlN BACK HOME.
He Makes Glowing Report of Con-
ditiOns In Philippines.

Washington, Sept. 25.-Maj. Gen.
Corbin, the adjutaet general Of the
army, returned from the Philippines
to-day. While he declined to submit
to a formal interview. he talked freely
of the condition of affairs in the Phil
ippines, particularly of the work ac-
complished by Gems. Sternberg, Wes-
ton and Greely.
General Corbin is greatly pleased
with the conditions existing in the
Philippines and was particularly graf
flied to find the health of the army so
excellent, and to see himself evidence
of the good feeling among the officers
and soldiers. Gen. Corbin is of the
opinion that the work of the heads of
the staff departments in the Philip
pines has been of great benefit in the
administration of military matters.
1t happens that with the authority
back of him and the full cooperation
of Gen. Chaffee, commander of the d.
vision OF the Philippines, what would
have been recommendations by Gen.
Corbin already have been put into OPP
Grafton, so that the report which he
will submit to the Secretary Of War.
will be rather in the nature of a state
ment of things accomplished. Large
economies have been effected In near
ly every branch of the military SER
vice in the Philippines.
