three cities accompanying the train,
on which the injured were brought to
the hospital here.
Limited Under Full Speed.
No. II is one of the limited trains
on the Rock Island. leaving Chicago at
Cos O'Clock. Engine No. 1909 was
pulling No. II. Engineer Ed Cropper.
one of the veterans of the road, and a
former resident of Rock Island was
al the throttle. having Thomas Harmon
as his fireman. Both live in Chica-
go. The 1909 was wide open, carrying
the train along at a rate OF 60 miles
an hour when the wreck occurred.
There is a double track all the way
between this city and Chicago on the
Rock Island. and there is little danger
of collisions of the character of the
one last night. \ freight on the east
bound track broke in two on the curve
half mile outside Tiskilwa as No. II
approached westbound.
Cars Thrown Across Track.
The engineer of the freight slowed
down to gather up the portion of the
train that had gotten away from him
and the two sections came together,
the force of the impact showing sew
eral Of the cars over across the west
bound track
Engineer Chopper was not aware of
his peril until he was right into the
middle of the cars that were blocking
his right of way. his locomotive
ploughing through two of them before
it was brought to a standstill, keeling
over into a ditch of a cornfield.
Neither the engineer nor the fireman
had time TO jump, even if they wished
to do so and there is no telling what
the human impulses will be when con-
frOnted with such a tragic aspect as
doomed up before those two men in the
cab of 1909 when they were tearing
into the .IliaTn If TI.kil,.1 In the
darkness of last night at a clip of q
milo 2 minute.
Unconscious Beside His Engine.
When Engineer Chopper came to-
having been rendered unconscious. he
was lying at the side Of his old faith
FIJI iron stecd. and was in the act of
crawling over her boiler when he was
discovered by those who were search
ing the wreckage for the injured. Fire
man Harmon hit the dirt. face down,
but did not receive a scratch.
The train consisted of baggage car.
smoker. day coach and two sIcepers.
All were deraiIed with the exception
of the last sleeper. the front trucks
of the fore sleeper having left the
track.
There was a mass Of twisted iron
and wrcckaGc standing IN the air at
a height fully of thirty feet. Tho west
bound track was not cleared so as TO
permit the passage of trains until
1890 this morning. The castbound
track was cleared at noon.
Three Men UnaccOunted for.
Three men who were passengers on
the train are missing. James MCken-
ma. formerly a pitcher on the Daven-
port baseball team, is one of them.
The names OF the other two are not
known. The three men were seen on

Miraculous Escape.
J. B. Cornell, of Chicago, who board
ed the train at La Sale, bound for Mo-
| line. said: Il was sitting in the smok-
| ing car. and when this side Of Tiskil-
wa we were suddenly stopped with a
! terrible jar The next second the
smoking car was a mass OF splinterS.
! | received a slight sprain to my right
ankle. but that | did not get killed is
| a miracle | don't see how ii happened
! that many more were not killed and
| in jured. Passengers were buried I'M
der the wreckage of the smoking,
chair and baggage cars, the three cars
that were completely demolished. The
three sleepers of the train stood on
| the track. the first one having been
destroyed partly in front. Its front
trucks were standing on the wrecked
chair car. The engine was picked up
and thrown into a cornfeld. When a
short distance this side of Tislilwa we
were rounding the curve under full
speed. 1t was then that the crash
came An eastbound freight train, |
understand. had broken in two, and its
rear section jumped in front Of the
passenger train without a moments
warning.
THE collision that followed was
awful. The engine, with one bound.
| jumped into the cornfield, while the
three coaches following were smashed
as though they were made of fragile
pine loosely thrown together. Passen-
gers were nailed down under the tim
| bers. Some time was consumed in
releasing those pinioned down. and all
were not taken from the wreck when
! we left over the special train that was
sent from here to take some of the in
jured to the hospital in this city. 1t was
sight that would strike terror to the
most case-hardcned. Frantic passen-
gers, some with their clothes almost
! torn from their person, were scream
ing in frightful manner. Those still
under the wrcckage were begging for
| help"

by a severe jolt. In flash the car
was torn into splinters. Passengers
were pinned down TO their seats, l
among them, and il was some time
before we were released. l hardly
know how we were spared. l was not
injured in the slightest. My husband
and child were also unscathed. A
young lady who was sitting with me
received a slight scratch on one side
of her face. 1t is truly marvellous that
everyone in the car was not killed or
injured badly. Passengers could be
seen limping, half clad. about the field.
Others who had escaped injury began
work of rescuing those less fortunate.
Shortly after o'clock a special train
from Rock Island. carrying road Off
Gals and physicians from this city,
Moline and Davenport, arrived. Hasty
examinations were made and the in
jured attended. Then the train took
partial list of the injured TO this city.
The others who had been released from
the debris were at that time taken to
a hotel in Tiskilwa. l could not give
description that would be vivid enough
to impress you with the full horror of
the wreck. 1t was frightful.'
Discrepancies in Names.
Comparison with the names of the
injured given out at st. AnthOny's hos
pital with those secured ut the scene
of the accident shows a wide diScrep-
ancy. Frequently assumed names are
given by people injured in wrecks in
order to spare their folks in other
towns anguish, and this may account
for the differences in the names in
this instance. The list obtained at the
hospital this afternoon is as follows:
Miss Victoria Venllnears. Chicago;
sprained ankle.
Mrs. James Crandall, New York
City; bruises about the chest.
Frank Baseworth, Marseilles, H.;
injury to left foot.
Ernest Johnson. Chicago; bruises
about the chest; may be internally in
jured.
Il. w. Bennett, Fort Collins, Colo;
injury to spine.
Dennis W. Mccarthy. Cincinnati. o.;
bruised about body; palm of left hand
badly cut.
Nicholas Bossa. Pella, Ia; lacera-
tiOns about the head ana face; col
lar bone broken.
Fred Woltmann, of this city, was
taken to the hospital here this morn
ing but was later removed TO his home
on Fifth avenue.
Those who went from this city on
the special train last night to the scene
of the wreck to assist in the care of
the injured were Drs. S. b. Hall, Jos
eph DeSilva, F. II. First, e NJ. Sala
and w. II. Ludewig.
