Are Preparing for the Worst.

thousand bricklayers and laborers and
about 1000 iron workers are on a

around this on the southbound track
a freight train was backing from the
Southbound to the northbound track.
1t was partly on both tracks, and no
train could have passed it in either
direction. The bend is so sharp that
the engineer of the picnic train did
not see the freight until he was al
most on it 1t. was too late to do any
thing but to set the brakes, but before
they could take effect the passenger
train smashed into the freight at full
speed. The locomotive and the bag
gage car of the passenger train went
through the freight and were piled up
in heap of wreckage, on the further
side of the switch track.
Where the Loss OF Life Occurred.
The first coach of the picnic train
plunged into the wreckage and buried
itself in a mass of kindling wood.
Nearly all of the passengers inthe first
coach were thrown beneath the mass
of debris, and it was here that the
loss of life occurred. The people in
the rear coaches were hurled from
their seats and many of them were
bruised, but all of the serious casual
ties occurred in the first car. The
uninjured passengers and trainmen at
once fastened to the relief of those
who were pinned under the wreck
age. The wreck was two miles from
anywhere, and much delay ensued
before some of the injured, who were
held down by heavy timbers, could be
extricated. Nothing could be done
for them until lifting machinery came
from Chicago Heights. The first train
to arrive at the wreck came from
Chicago Heights, and it carried six
physicians. A short time afterward
a second train arrived from Glenwood,
bringing additional physicians and a
number of nurses. Darkness had
fallen and rescue went on by the light
of bOn-ffreS.
A regular relief train was made up
at Glenwood and it brought the dead
and wounded to Chicago.

Glenwood, Ills, twenty-three miles
south of Chicago.
The collision occurred between a
picnic train from Chicago which was
returning from Momence, Ills, and a
freight train. into the rear end of
which the excursion train dashed at
high speed. The picnic train was COM
ing north and the freight was on the
scuthbound track A misplaced switch
threw the picnic train over on the
southbound track. and before the en-
gineer could apply the brakes it ran
at forty miles an hour into the rear
of the freight. The locomotive. the
baggage car and the first coach of the
picnic train were demolished and all
of the killed and injured were on the
locomotive and in the two cars.
The picnic was the annual outing of
the members of Doremus church,
formerly Chapel of Plymouth Congre-
gational Church. After spending
the day on the picnic grounds
at Momence, the train load started on
the return trip, running in as the sec

train which is due in Chicago at 1925

When the picnic train reached
Chicago Heights, four miles beyond
Glenwood, where the accident took
place, it was switched to the regular
southbound track, and although it
was coming north it was given a clear
track by the operator at Chicago
Heights until it should reach Glen
wood, four miles away. The train, after
leaving Chicago Heights gradually
increased it's speed, and when half
the distance between the two stations
had been covered it was plunging
along at the rate of forty miles an
hour.
