A TRAIN WRECKED.
Excursionists Meet with an Acct.
dent At Black River.
one Nan KILLED AND OTHERS HURT


Alpena, Mich, June S.-An excur-
sion train on the Detroit and Macki-
nav railroad which left here yester-
day morning for Saginaw, consisting
OF an engine and twelve coaches and
carrying over 500 people, was
wrecked at Black river, while run
ming 40 miles an hour. One man was
instantly killed, three were proba-
bly, fatally injured, and nearly so
others received injuries Of various
degrees of severity, ranging from
bruises and cuts to broken limbs.
The excursion was under the aus
pices of the German Aid society of
Alpena. When the train reached
Black river the tender jumped the
track. Engineer Hopper instantly
set the air brakes and reversed his
engine. The sudden stop threw the
first three coaches of the train off
the track and into the ditch. The
first car was thrown half around,
and the next coaches plowed through
it and cut it in two. August Grosin-
ski, the only person killed, was seat
ed in this coach with 40 other excur-
sionists. His body was terribly
crushed and death was instan-
taneous.
The escape Of the others in the
car was well nigh miraculous. Gros-
inski's little son occupied the same
seat with him, but the lad was unin-
jured. The three wrecked coaches
were piled up in heap and 200 feet
Of The track was torn up. Az soon
rs the occupants Of the uniniursd
coaches recovered from the shock
and surprise they rushed to the
wrecked cars and began aiding the
injured. They were sxtricatsd frsn
tho wreck with frantic haste and
yivsn oil possible relief, pending the
arrival Of the relief train. This train
brought eight surgeons from Alpena.
After temporary dressings had been
made Of the most serious wounds all
he injured were brought back to
Ibis city, where the surgeons worked
'vsr them until late at night

SANITARIUM BURNED.
The St. Luke's Institution in Chi.
easo Destroyed.
TEN PERSONS At LEAST PERISHED.
Thirty Other Persons Injured and Many
Besides Reported Misslng- Many VIC
Tins Strapped to Their beds and
Could Not Be Rescued.

Chicago, June 10.-Nine men ant
one woman were killed and about
80 persons were injured in a fire
which yesterday afternoon destroyed
the sanitarium conducted by the st.
Luke's society at Wabash avenue
and Twenty-frst street. The society
occupied the building which was
long known as the Hotel Woodruff
and for brief period as the Hotel
Lancaster. BY far the greater por-
ton OF the patients received in the
institution were those seeking cure
from the drink habit and those who
were addicted to the use Of drugs.
When the fire broke out there were
on the fifth floor number Of pa
tients suffering from delirium
tremens and some who were de-
ranged by drugs. Several Of these
were strapped to their beds and it
was found it was impossible to save
them, so rapidly did the fire spread
through the building. The fire orig
mated in the basement Of the
building and spread rapidly to the
upper stories through the elevator
shaft.
The fire department was on the
scene within few minutes and as
the windows were filled with people
shrieking for help the fremen de-
voted their first efforts to save the
lives and allowed the fire to burn.
While this was the means Of saving
large number Of people, who were
carried down ladders by the fremen,
II gave the fire such headway that
there was almost no chance for
these on the upper floors Of the
building to make their escape, and
such Of them as were not suffocated
were killed or badly injured by leap
ing from the windows.
After midnight the officials Of the
gave out list Of missing. |
It Is not known that they are dead,
but neither their friends nor the po-
lice have been able to locate them
and 1t Is known that they were in
the building when the fire broke out.
Late last night the police placed
under arrest 0. E. Miller, the presi-
lent Of the institutions; William
sterner, the engineer of the build
ng, and several others.
The burned building had a front
II 40 feet on Wabash avenue and
extended back 10 feet to an alley.
I was Of brick, five stories high and
vas valued at 100000. 1t was in
'ured for half that amount. There

MADE THEIR ESCAPE
Convicts Take Desperate Means to
Get Out Of Peni,entiary.
THREE OF The GUARDS are KILLED
The Fugitives Seen In the Woods and
Scores Of Men Are on the Way to
Ron the Murdersrs Down-A
Reward Offered,

Salem, Ore, June 1o.--Two desper
ate prisoners, Harry Tracy, sentenced
to 20 years, and David Merrill, 8
13-year man, both serving sentences
for assault and robbery from Null
tonomah county, escaped from the
penitentiary yesterday after killing
three guards, Frank Ferrell, shop
guard; S. r. Jones and Ben Tiffany,
fcncemen. Prisoners employed in the
foundry were marched to work at
seven o'clock and had entered the
molding room with Shop Guard Fer
rell inside and Guard Stapleton in an
adjoining room. Suddenly, without
warning, Tracy and Merrill appeared
with rifles. Tracy aimed at Ferrell,
when Ingram, life prisoner, at
tempted to reach and disarm Tracy.
Instantly Merrill shot Ingram and
Tracy shot Ferrell, the latter dying
almost instantly. Tracy and Merrill
scaled the wall near the northeast
corner stockade by means of lad
der. When outside the wall Guard
Jones was shot twice and killed. TIT
fany was also shot and he dropped
of the fence, engaging the fugitives
in fight. His gun was soon empty
and he was taken by the convicts and
used as a shield while they made for
the timber. When out Of range of
the prison they stopped and deliber-
ately killed Tiffany, escaping into the
timber Immediately. They had taken
Tihany's gun, but finding it was
empty, threw it away. Duncan Ross,
a new guard, was on the fence near
Tiffany, having been ordered up to
relieve the latter at his post. Ross
was unarmed and the convicts shot
at him, one bullet striking him in
the forehead, inAicting slight scalp
wound.
A large force Of men are now out
searching for the fugitives, who are
known to be in the timber between
the prison and reform school, and
as they are desperate battle is ex-
pected before they are secured. The
prison authorities offer $1,000 reward
for the capture of the prisoners.
The three guards killed have fami-
lies. Great excitement prevails in
his city and scores of men are leav-
ng for the woods, armed and deter
mined to run the murderers down.

A DISASTROUS FLOOD.
now and Many Farms Are Submerged
and Crops Devastated.

Emporia, Kan, June 1.-THE over.
flowing Of the Neosho and Cotton.
wood rivers, which caused disas.
trous food all over lowlands in the
county, continued yesterday. Both
rivers are standstill, though re-
ports from towns above here say
theyNare both falling rapidly. East
OF here, where the Cottonwood Joins
the Neosho, farms for miles around
are completely submerged in from
one to six feet of water. No loss Of
life is reported yet, though loss Of
property will amount to hundreds
OF thousands Of dollars. Standing
on a hill in the north part of town
one can see waste of water ex-
tending four miles north and east.
In several places currents, which are
swift and mighty rivers in them
selves, leave the main course and
cut across the country, devastating
hundreds of acres of corn and wheat
in paths. South Of here a swift cur
rent leaves the main course Of the
Cottonwood and joins Dry creek,
about three miles south, surrounding
a territory OF several square miles
with deep running water. In some
of the homes near the river bottoms
families have been rescued in boats.
The Santa Fe is now running trains
out of here. A few light ones are
allowed to 60 over the main line,
which for two miles is covered with
water. Heavy traffic is handled over
the Ottawa branch.

received the following message from
Lord Kitchener under yesterday
date: "The disarmament Of the Beers

the men who surrendered to the
British authorities at Balmoral, Cape
Colony, were four Americans, who
will be granted free passage to Della
