WE'RE KILLED
A HEAD-oN COLLISION BETWEEN
PASSENGER TRAINS NEAR
MAuD'S STATION, ILL.
ONE PASSENGER AND
SIX EMPLOYEES DEAD.
Both Locomotives and Four Coaches
Were Destroyed-A Telegraph
Operators Blunder Caused
the Disaster.

Louisville, KY, Dec. 26.-The pas
senger train which left st. Louis at 8
o'clock Saturday night on the South
ern railway collided head-on with the
passenger train leaving Louisville

tion, ILL.,, yesterday. One passenger
and six employees were killed and two

slightly injured.

gers in these four cars was injured.
Both engines were badly damaged and
four coaches destroyed.
The collision occurred between
Mount Carmel, ILL.,, and Princeton.
Ind, and. according to the Southern
railway officials, was caused by the
failure of the operator at Browns, ILL.,,
to deliver the eastbound train an or
der naming a meeting point for the
trains.
All of the employees with the excep-
tion of the trainmen were in the COM
bination baggage and smoking car.
Engineer Buchanan and Fireman
Taggart escaped by jumping. Nothing
was found of Fireman Hutt's body but
some charred bones which were iden-
titled by a watch and ring near them.
The bones were gathered into water
bucket by the rescuers. Only the
trunk of the body of Engineer Bowen
was discovered and it was found
pinned beneath the burning tender.
The limbs were burned off and the
head had been burned from the trunk.
The body was identified by means Of

SHERIFF BARRY MUST WAIT,
Extraditon Papers for the Arrest OF
DR.. Chadwick Defective.

Albany, N. Y, Dec. 27.-Sheriff
Barry, of Cleveland, who expects to
arrest DR.. Leroy S. Chadwick, husband
of Mrs. Chadwick, when he lands in
New York, on the charge of forging
the name of Andrew Carnegie, met a
check in his plans Monday when he
failed to obtain from Gov. Odell the
requisition papers necessary to permit
the transportation of DR.. Chadwick to
Ohio for trial.
He called. at the executive chamber
in the capitol, but was informed by
Judge John T. Joyce, the governors
pardon and requisition clerk, that his
papers were defective in that they
failed to prove that Dr. Chadwick was
in Ohio on March, 5, 1903, when the al
legged forgery was committed. Sheriff
Barry decided not to try to correct his
papers now, but to go on to New York
and arrest Dr. Chadwick and arrange
for his requisition afterwards.
The Ohio sheriff left Immediately
afterward for New York, where he
will wait for DR.. Chadwick's steamer
which is expected Wednesday. He
will consult with New York City au-
thorities regarding the best course of
procedure.
New York, Dec. 27.-Sheriff Barry,
of Cleveland, reached New York Mon
day afternoon from Albany and went
to the Hoffman house, where he will
remain until the arrival of the steam
ship Pretoria, which is bringing to
this country DR.. Chadwick and his
daughter, Miss Mary Chadwick.

FOUR MEN SUFFocATED.
Philadelphia Was the Scene of Fires
Early Christmas Morning.

Philadelphia Dec. 26.-Four men
were suffocated and eight other per-
sons were rescued from fire in three
different parts Of the city early Sun
day. At a boarding house at 1545
Wood street Charles McCusker, aged
A years; James Merry, As years, and
Joseph McGill, "a years, died in a trap
made by themselves. Against the
wishes and knowledge of their board
ing house keeper the three men took a
quantity of whisky to their room. They
placed one Of the two beds in the
apartment against the door to prevent
interference by the boarding house
keeper.
After the men had retired lighted
candle fell from a mantle on the
greasy working clothes of one of the
boarders. The clothing was ignited
and the room was soon filled with a
thick smoke. McGiH was awakened
by the smoke, but was unable to re-
move the bed from the door and fell to
the floor unconscious. The boarding
house keeper discovered the smoke
and when the room was broken into
McCusker and Merry were found dead.
McGill died soon after being removed
to hospital.
At 1136 Fairmount avenue, Edward
Rathtine, aged about 25 years and be-
lieved to be resident of New Jersey,
was also suffocated. 1t is believed he
set bed clothes on fire with lighted
cigar and in trying to leave the room
crawled into a closet by mistake,
where he was found dead. His face
was slightly burned.

Paper Makers.

st. Paul, Mimi, Dec. 2S.-Attorney
General Moody for the United States,
through United States District At
torney Haupt and Frank B. Kellogg,
and James M, Beck, special assistant

A SEVERE
BLIZZARD
RACED THROUGH TERRITORY LY-
ING BETWEEN ROCKY NOUN
TAlNS AND GREAT LAKES.
RAILROADS AND TELEGRAPH
LINES SEVERELY DAMAGED
Street Railways in the cities of Kan
sas, Iowa, Nebraska and Missouri
Forced to Suspend Operations
Because of Snow Drifts.

Chicago, Dec 2S.-One of the most
severe storms of recent years has
ragged through the territory lying be-
tween the Rocky Mountains and the
Great Lakes since early Tuesday
morning and caused much trouble to
street cars, railroads and telegraph
companies.
The latter were the greatest suffer
erers, for the blizzard which swept
through the west and northwest dur
ing the last "a hours was preceded by
heavy fog and drizzling rain which
made the wires almost unavoidable.
Railroad trains were badly delayed all
through the west.
In it's extent the storm was the most
widespread of any during the last 10
years. Counting the fog as a compo-
nent part of the storm, it stretched
clear from the Rocky Mountains to
New York, and from Winnipeg to New
Orleans. The fatalities reported as
due to the storm were three men
killed.
At 10 o'clock last night the storm
was reported as subsiding at Kansas
City and at other points on north
and south line from that city.
The storm extended from the middle
of Missouri as far south as Indian
Territory and was accompanied by
high winds and snow which on the
level would have been about one foot
in depth. 1t was drifted so badly by
the gale, however, that in nearly all
the cities of Nebraska, Kansas and
western Missouri street car traffic
was at standstill by noon.
The storm reached eastern Missouri
by noon and the temperature in St.
Louis went down 20 degrees in two
hours, while the wind piled the snow
up in the streets in great drifts.
At Omaha and Des Moines similar
conditions were reported. All through
western Iowa the storm ragged with
great fury In the northwest the storm
was even more violent than in Mis-
souri, and Iowa.
The storm struck Chicago shortly
after noon and increased until it had
assumed hurricane violence at $50
o'clock, when the wind tore through
the streets at the rate of 70 miles an
hour. 1t fell away after that and by
o'clock had dropped to so miles an
hour, where it remained through the
night, with occasional gusts that
would bawl through the streets with
the force of a cyclone, tearing down
signs, smashing in plate glass win
dows and in many sections of the
down town district hurting pedestrians
from their feet and overturning
wagons.
Reports from Wisconsin are that
the storm was the most severe ever
known in that section of the country
Damage in the city of Madison is esti-
mated at 100000.
In Indiana the damage was especi-
ally heavy in the oil fields, where fully
500 derricks were blown down and all
operations suspended.

Judge Wing Resigns.

Cleveland, Dec. 2S.-Judge Francis;
]. Wing stated yesterday that he had
forwarded to the president his resig-
nation of the Office of United States
district Judge for the Northern district
of Ohio, and that he had been assured
that it would take effect on February
/. His reason for this course, Judge,
Wing said, related to the larger oppor--
tunities which the practice of his pro-
fession offers. Upon leaving the bench
his intention is to Immediately resume,
practice. Judge Wing was appointed
to the federal bench four years ago as
the associate Of Judge Ricks.
