DEADNUMBERTHIRTY
EIGHTEEN OTHERS INJURED IN A
RAILROAD DISASTER At
KENIWooD, IA.
All the vietime Except One Are Ne
sroes, Most Of Them Being Section
Hands in the Employ Of the Railroad
company-one Coach Completely
Demolished and Many Of ltt occu-
pants Crushed to Death.

New Orleans, Nov. 17.-Thirty per-
sons are dead and eighteen injured as
the result of rear-end collision on
the Illinois Central railroad at Kent
wood, La Twenty-nine Of the dead
are negroes. One white man was ia.
tally injured and died later.
The collision was between the Ma
comb City accommodation train and
the Northern express, bound for Chi
cago. a
The Macomb City train should have
sidetracked to let the express pass,
but it lost time in reaching Kentwood.
Near Kentwood the express ran down
the accommodation. The rear coach
of the accommodation, filled with ne
groes, many Of them section hands,
was completely demolished. y
The responsibility for the accident
will be hard to figure out. The first
train was forty-five minutes late and
the last five minutes behind and the
two trains were virtually running on
each others time. The engineer of the
last train claimed that he had orders
for clear track to Chatawa, while
the operator at Tangipapo claims that
he signaled the train to stop, intend
ing to hold it ten minutes, out it went
on and struck the train ahead.

Probably Mentally Unbalanced.

The Marcy sisters, of whom mention
has been made as being insane at Min.
neapolis, were residents of Mandan and
vicinity up to the middle of last week,
when they left there hurriedly. They
told neighbors that some one had at
tempted to chloroform them, and also
unfolded plst they said was on foot to
kill Judge Winchester and other promi-
nent citizens.
One Of the Marcy sisters made appli.
cation for school in Stark county two
years ago. She had many queer ways
and had great deal to say about the
county superintendent of Morton county
for whom she seemed to have great
dislike.
This week the Marcy sisters were
taken back to Mandan. They will likely
be sent to the asylum.
