A SHARP Curve
Thirty-One Killed and Others In
jured In a Collision Near
fremont, Ill


Peoria, ILL.,, Nov. 2O.-Thtrty-One men
we're killed and at least is injured in a
head-end collision between west
bound freight and work train on the
Big -Four railroad between Mackinaw
and fremont at 2:45 o'clock yesterday
afternoon. So far IL only have been
identified, the remaining being unrecog-
nizable even by those who knew them
and are aware of the fact that they are
among the dead. All the dead and most
Of the injured were members of the
work train, the crews of both engines
jumping in time to save their lives.
Met I'm Deep Cut.
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
50 feet. The engineers set the brakes.
sounded the whistles and then leaped
from their cabs, the two trains striking
with such force that the sound was
heard for miles around. A second after
the collision the boiler of the work
train exploded with terrific force,
throwing heavy iron bars and splinters
Of wood to a distance Of 200 feet.
Failed to Obey Orders.
Conductor John w. Judge, of Indian
apolis, who had charge of the freight
train, received orders at Urbanas to
wait at Mackinaw for the work train
which was due there at 2:4O p: m. In
stead Of doing this he failed to stop.
The engineer Of the work train, George
Becker, had also received orders to
pass the freight at Mackinaw and was
on the way to that station. The work
train was perhaps I'VE minutes late and
was running at full speed in order to
make up time.
Sad scenes.
The workmen had been engaged in
laying steel rails at different points
along the track and three of the freight
cars were heavily loaded. The dead
men were residents Of neighborfng
towns and the scenes about the wreck
were beyond description. Wives and
children of men who were missing
thronged around, asking If their hus-
bands and fathers had been killed. Out
of 35 men who constituted the crew of
the work train only four are living and
two OF these are seriously injured.
Wreckage Is strewn along the track for
. distance Of nearly 2OOsfeet.
Only Twenty Reported Killed.
Another report from the scene Of the
wreck reports the wreckage as entire
y cleared away and trains again run
ming over the Big Four tracks. The
list of casualties has been considerably
exaggerated. A total of Is bodies were
recovered, many of them in. a horri-
bly, mangled condition. OF these lis iii

CONE OUT TOMORROW
Every Water Storage Nan Should At
tend the Big Meeting.

That Saturdays water storage meet
ing will be an occasion long to remem-
Der is now a settled fact. 1t will not
be as novel as a circus nor as noisy
as the Fourth of July, but it will be a
meeting that stands alone in a class by
itself: one Of the kind seldom seen in a
generation and therefore one of the
kind everybody wants to attend.
The board of trade made out a large
list of names of gentlemen it de-
sired to act as vice presidents of the
meeting. They viii not all of them

speak, but a good looking man on the

Gently come here from Montreal. Cana
da- They moved into the house last
Sunday. One of the little girls of the
family filled a lamp with gasoline in
stead of coal oil and as soon as il. was
lighted there was an explosion which
was heard all over the neighborhood,
and at first was thought to be a pistol
shot. Mr.. LIE Claire, who was standing
in the doorway. was blown out into the
seriously injured.
An alarm was turned in from Seventh
avenue and Washington street, but be-
fore the department reached the place
the fire had been put out and the event
was registered as a false alarm.
A little after o'clock an alarm came
from the same box and the light of the
burning building guided the depart
ment to the same house. 1t was far be-
yond saving.
The family was in bed at the time of
the second outbreak. 1t was first dis
covered by a little girl of the family,
who aroused her mother and father and
they had time only to get out and grab
what they could in going. Very little
of their clothing was saved. They
could not take out even their trunks.
Every article of furniture. which was
new, having been put in the day be-
fore. and including 4 piano. was lost.
There had been no time to take out
any Insurance. The house itself was
brick structure and was worth prob
ably 81 ,2UO, and it was partially in
sured.
There is a natural supposition that
the last fire was a sequel of the first,
but that is entirely conjectural. 1t
would be equally natural to suppose
that the scare inspired by the first one
would lead TO its certain extinguish-
ment. and the members of the depart
ment were sure that there was nothing
left of il when they went away.

When the Poor Buy Crepe.

From the Washington Times.
 Whenever a great calamity occurs or a noted parsonage dies" remarked the gray-haired clerk, T am always interest- ed in the class of people who buy mourn ing materials" He folded up sleazy piece of purple silk and tucked it on the shelf Did you notice the bent little woman who just left here with a pack age in her hands? She bought purple and black silk with which to drape a cheap chromo of the late pope. You na- turally would suppose that she would have made her purchase on the day his death was announced. Well, we do not know how hard it has been for her to scrape up the money to buy silk, and nothing short of silk would do.
 T have noticed that the poor. the class to whom religion means everything or nothing, are the ones who take the death of high church dignitary to heart The very rich contribute to fund to have the church in their parish magnifcently draped and consider their duty done.

ONE DRINK THAT FAILS HERE.
Slight Demand for Arrack, the Fav
 orite Liquor of East Indians.

From the New York Sun.
 If arrack, the favorite drink of East Indians, Justified one-half of the praise of poets and travellers 1t would not be selling in the New York market. as 1t ls for $l a quart, and the demand for 1t would long ago have been sufficient to make arrack drinking a fad Few wines or liquors have been so often, so long or so generously extolled as arrack, but though described as the drink of kings and princes, of fairies and magicians, of warriors and wanderers, 1t somehow does not seem to take hold" in this country and practically the only use found for 1t is as a foundation for punch.
 The belief is general, but. though gen eral, erroneous, that arrack is formed from the fermentation of cocoanuts and 1t has gained therefore. the name of CO., coanut wine AS matter of fact arrack is produced from the areca nut, or the ar rack tree. The word is of Indian origin and the term Is applied in most parts of India and the East Indies to designate any sort of spirituous liquor. Arrack is distinguished from other ardent spirits by its stimulating and narcotic properties; its flavor is peculiar and it differs con- sderaby in consequence of the various articles of which 1t Is prepared, and the unequal care taken in its manufacture
 Batavia or Java arrack is consideie ed the best; it is obtained by dstillation from rice and molasses, with only small mixture of cocoanut toddy. Cey lon arrack is invariably made from the vegetable juice toddy. which flows by in- cision from the cocoanut tree; after the juice is fermented it is distilled and rec tified; some are of the opinion that 1t is equal to the Batavia.
 Arrack is white and transparent. Pine apples steeped in it impart an exquisite flavor to the spirit. and by age becomes unrivaled for making punch. Several thousand gallons are sold In this coun- try for that purpose each year. but as q steady drink it has attained no success.

New York. September 19.--Thes Steel Trust has resumed it's interrupted in- vasion of the markets of the old world.
 The giant combination is showing It's hand in Great Britain and on the con tinent and has formally although qmetiy' entered upon a war with foreign manu- facturers in their own territory. This IS in accordance with the original program and is one of the reasons why the trust managers have been accomplishing an enormous working capital, larger than there seems to be any real use for It IS also noted in the trade that the huge Steel Trust is putting the screws on rivals in the domestic field More than A year ago the policy was decided upon of marking up the prices of raw mater ial on competitors who were obliged to obtain their supplies from the pig con cern. At the time this policy was oe- cided upon there was business enough for everybody and stronger opposition to the adoption of the plan developed among tbe insiders on the board of directors and in the executive committee. Seh'i- mentalists in the management Ieareo 'he criticism which might follow the discoV- cry of a premeditated attempt to place rivals at a disadvantage by taxing them for raw materials of which the trust hao obtained a practical monopoly. The harder headed element prevailed, how ever. and now independent concerns in the iron and steel trade are confront ed with the unpleasant necessity or pay ing top prices to the trust for materials entering into competitive production This is precisely the situation the trust management had looked forward to- and it enables them to undersell opposition at every point. There are only few in- dependents with complete supplies or raw materials, and these institutions are not of first importance in the general traoe' being engaged in the manufacture or spe-

THE VALUE OF CHARCOAL. Few People Know How Useful 1t Is In Preserving Health and Beauty.

Nearly everybody knows that charcoal
 is the safest and most efficient disenfect- ant and purifier in nature, but few real- ize it's value when taken into the human system for the same cleansing purpose. Charcoal is a remedy that the more you take of 1t the better; 1t is not drug at all. but simply absorbs the gases and i'm | purities always present in the stomach and intestines and carries them out of the system. Charcoal sweetens the bi .ath after | smoking. drinking or after eating onions | and other odorous vegetables.
 | Charcoal effectually clears and improves | the complexion, 1t whitens the teeth and | further acts as natural and eminently l safe cathartic.
 It absorbs the injurious gases which col- | lect in the stomach and bowels; it disin- fects the mouth and throat from the poison of catarrh.
 All druggists sell charcoal in one form | or another, but probably the best char | coal and the most for the money is in Stuart's Absorbent Lozenges; they are composed of the finest powdered Willow charcoal, and other harmless antiseptics | in tablet form or rather in the form of large, pleasant tasting lozenges, the | charcoal being mixed with honey. The daily use of these lozenges will soon tell in a much improved condition | of the general health. better complexion | sweeter breath and purer blood and the | beauty of 1t is, that no possible harm can result from their continued use, but on the contrary great benefit. A Buffalo physician in speaking of the | benefits of charcoal. says: "I advise Stu arts Absorbent Lozenges to all patients suffering from gas in stomach and bow | els and to clear the complexion and puri- | fy the breath, mouth and throat; I also | believe the liver Is greatly benefited by | the daily use of them; they cost but twen- | ty-five cents box at drig stores and al- | though in some sense ss patent prepara- tion. yet believe I get more and better
