SIXTEEN KILLED in WRECK
Fifty Persons Seriously Injured in
Indiana Disaster.
VICTIMS WERE ALL ITALIANS.
Emigrants on Their Way West--Plunged Into
Washout Caused by Heavy Rains--ln-
lured Taken to Peru Hospital.

| Peru, Ind, June a. Sixteen per-
sons were killed and about fifty ,seri-
ously injured in wreck of train No.
| 3, the west bound Limited, nine miles
west of this city, at ~ 80 a. m. yes
terday. The dead are all Italian
emigrants enroute to Colorado. Many
of the injured will undoubtedly die.
Two sections Of train No. 3--one
coming from Detroit and the other
from Toledo. were consolidated IN this
city into train of eleven cars, this
making up the flyer for its journey to
st. Louis. 1t consisted of combina-
ton baggage and express; combina
tionn baggage and smoker, day couch,
emigrant coach, three chair cars,
three sleepers, and the private car of
General Superintendent William Got
ten, of the Iron Mountain Railway.
Having left this city one hour late
the train was speeding westward at a
high rate. When at point nine miles
west. the engine plunged through
trestle which had been undermined
by the recent heavy rains. The en-
bankment on both sides of the little
stream dropped at a sharp degree a
distance of forty feet. Owing to the
momentum of the train the engine
appeared to leap nearly across the
abyss, 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 express
car and the first chair car were tele-
scoped. The emigrant, 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 none of its occupants
were injured. The remaining cars
also left their trucks, but were not
badly damaged.
1t was in the emigrant's day coach
that most of the deaths and injuries
occurred.

THE P0CAH0NTAS REGION.
Section i'm Which the CIoudburst
Wrought Its Worst Havoc


The Pocahontas coal field is located
in basin, with high mountain
ranges on either side. and Elkhorn
creek flowing through the center of
the basin, which ranges from quar-
fer to one mile in width.
From Ennis to Vivian Yard, w.
Va, about 10 miles, the country is
dotted with miners cabins, the coal
company commissaries and coke
plants. Elkhorn creek, being fed by
numerous small streams coming from
the mountain sides rises very rapidly
in storms. The little town of Key
stone, which has a population of
about 1900, seems the greatest suff
erer, as practically the entire town
was washed away. This town, being
the principal one in the Porahontas
coal field and located near its center,
was to great extent the headquar-
tiers from which the mining people
purchased supplies, and was also the
only place in the field where whiskey
could be purchased At this place
there was large number of saloons.
The dam at Johnstown broke at
3 D. IN. May 81. 1889, and in three
quarters of an hour the three miles of
water behind it, about 4S0 600, 600
cubic feet in all, had drained ont and
was precipitated upon Johnstown. A
swath of 900 feet was cut through
the iron works and the principal bust
ness and residence portion of the town
by the water, which rose to height
of 30 or 40 feet. In three quarters of
an hour between 5000 and G000 had
persisted and about $4,000, 0o0 damage
had been done.
Following is a list of a few of the
notable floods and cyclone disasters
of the past decade;
September Is, 1915 - Galveston,
Texas, was swept by a flood and
scores of lives were lost, beside
about $3.50, 600 worth of property.
June 20, 1892 Breaking dams flood
ed Titusville and Oil City, Pa. Oil
and gasoline tanks hurst and the flood
became a seething mass of flames, in
which 800 persons lost their lives.
