The collision occurred in deep cut
at the beginning Of sharp curve.
neither train being visible to the crew
Of the other until they were within

set the brakes, sounded the whistles
and then leaped. The trains struck

train exploded, throwing heavy iron
bars and timbers 200 feet
Conductor ]. W. Jude, Of Indianapo-
lis, who had charge Of the freight
train, received orders at Urbana, 1t
is said, to wait at Mackinaw for the
work train. The freight train did not
stop. The engineer Of the work train,
George Becker, had orders, 1t is said,
to pass the freight at Mackinaw and
was on his way. The work train was
about FIVE minutes late and was run
ming at full speed in order to make up
time. When about two miles from
Ninert and entering cut both engi-
neers saw the approaching trains and,
realizing that II was impossible to
stop, they threw on the emergency
brakes, whistled twice and then
leaped from their cabs. The collision
was seen by Russell Noonan, who
fastened to q nearby house and tele-
phoned to fremont
A special train with four physicians
was made up in few minutes and In
less than half an hour was at the
wreck. At the same time another
train arrived from Pel1in, bearing Su-
perintendent @. H. Bernard, Of che
Big Four, and three physicians. The
second train bore a lot Of Turkish rugs
and these were utilized to carry out the
mangled corpses Of the victims. After
working two hours the bodies Of 26
men were taken out and laid on an
embankment near the side Of the
track. The injured were taken to the
two cabooses Of the relief trains, where
hospitals were improvised. One ca
boose was taken to Morton, while the
other was taken to fremont The
dead lay on the bank all night, await
ing the arrival of the coroner Of Taze-
we'll county. Widows and orphans
thronged around the wreck last night
asking for information. Out Of 35 men,
who constituted the crew Of the work
train, only four are living and two Of
these are seriously injured. Wreck
age is strewH along the track for 200
feet and 1t will be "a hours before It

Little Change Noted 10 the Situation ~
ChicAso-a Ikiot Qusiied By
the Police.

Chicago, Nov. 20.--Despite the
united efforts yesterday Of Mayor Har-
rison and the aldermahic mediation
committee to bring about peaceable
adjustment Of the Chicago City rail-
way strike, there was little change In
The situation last night. After an all
day session OF the board Of directors
of the company, at which the proposal
submitted by the strikers to Mayor
Harrison, stating the terms on which
they would settle. was considered,
counter proposal was prepared BY the
officers of the railway company and
sent to the mayor at night As soon
as the document was received at the
city hall the executive committee OF
the strikers union was sent for, but
as only half the members of the COM
mittee put in an appearance no &C
ton could be taken on the answer OF
the company until to-day.
Mayor Harrison said that some
slight notifications had been made by
the company's officers in their original
answer to the demands Of the men.
What these notifications were the
mayor declined to say.
A serious riot occurred yesterday
evening at Thirty-eighth street and
Wentworth avenue. It was quelled by
the vigorous work Of the police. They
were compelled TO charge the mob and
to use their clubs freely. The trouble
began when wrecking wagon, manned
by a non-union crew and guarded by
six special policemen, passed Thirty
eighth street and Wentworth avenue.
A crowd quickly gathered and followed
It. When Thirty-eighth street was
reached 200 men were around the
wagon, which they threatened to de-
stroy, and then offered violence to the
men. Just In the nick OF time two
cars, carrying IS policemen, came up.
The crowd drew back and allowed the
wagon to pass. Soon after the wagon
and car carrying the officers had left
Thirty-elghth street two cars came up
from the opposite direction. AS they
were crossing Thirty-eighth street the
mob let fly a shower Of stones, de-
the car windows and caus-
Ing four passengers on the first car
to flee. The mob then swarmed on
the cars and had begun to beat the
train crews when the two cars with
the policemen and the crew Of the
wrecking wagon came hurrying back.
The mob, which had greatly in
creased by this time, was in an ugly
temper and refused to move. The po-
lice drew their revolvers and clubs
and charged. The mob used stones
and curses, while the police swung
their clubs with vlgor. There was
warm fight which lasted about two
minutes and then the mob broke and
fed In all directions. A number Of
those engaged In the rioting were ar.
rested.
