The Democratic Nominee.

The endorsement OF Mr. Hearst
by the Democrats in the Islands is
in line with good, sound business
senee. Judge Parker may be a good
man but he knows nothing OF the
Territory, except in general way,
nor does he care, except in the same
general way. Mr. Hearst, on the
other hand, was born in California
and most naturally feels a keen in
terest in the prosperity OF Hawaii.
Should he receive the nomination at
st Louis, which he most probably
will, the endorsement OF the local
Democracy ahead OF the convention
and it's possibilities would undoubt-
eddy be a matter OF special gistifisA-
ton.

Steam Roller On The Move.

Some few days ago, it was sight
to the residents of that portion OF
one Of the city's suburbs at the west
base OF the old Punohbowl hill,
above School aud Punchbowl streets
where excavations had been going
on to lay in sewer pipes, to see a
large steam roller get loose and run
away up there. An old resident in
the vicinity says that none had been
seen up that way for twelve yeare.
What got into the. authorities to
think OF such a place 7 Somh think
that had it not been for the electric
car line running up that incline,
none would have got loose there for
another twelve years. II not that,

will be paid for the remainder, which
Sexton has arranged to acquire for

BY vote of the board of directors of

$4,000. OF this sum fifth is cash

CAUSE OF THE WRECK
Egregious BIunder Brought on
the Terrible Disaster on the
c.. land Ell. Road.
FREIGHTaTRAIN CREW BLAMED
On Track Where They Had Abso.
Iutely No Right To Be-Correct
List of the Dead.

Chicago, July July 15.-The wreck
on the Chicago and Eastern Illinois.
in which a Sunday school excursion
train collided with a freight train,
killed eighteen persons, principally
boys and gilrs. AS far as now known
it was the result of a blunder COM
mitted by the crew CT the freight
train-a blunder so egregious that if
the coroner finds it as it is now stated
the law is likely to come down heavi-
~ on those responsible therefor. BY
this blunder a train load-more than
6O0-of men, women and children was
dashed against heavy freight train,
and with hymn on their lips eighteen
persons were hurried to eternity,
and more than 100 wounded, of whom
two-thirds suffered broken limbs and
other serious injuries.
Official Investigation Made.
An official investigation has been
made by Division Superintendent Russ
and Assistant Roadmaster Buchanan,
of the Chicago and Eastern Illinois,
and this is the story it tells: Extra
No. IA, in charge of Conductor Coop
er and Engineer Hoxey, was north
bound and consisted of train of
about fifty cars. Going up an incline
near Chicago Heights the train part
ed, knuckle or drawbar being out
of order or defective. This permitted
fifteen coal cars to drop behind while
the engine and forward or head end
of the train went on, with the crew
unaware of the accident. When it was
discovered it was too late for the en-
CINE to back up as there was steep
incline.
Where the Blunder Was Committed.
"Hoxey pulled his train into Thorn
ton, H., five miles north Of Chicago
Heights where the cars on the head
end should lave been set out. Here
is where the blunder was committed
Hoxey had Conductor Cooper with
him and Brakeman Wright. Under
the circumstances as we find them
Cooper must share equally with Hox-
ey the blame. Hoxey was on the east
track which is used for north-bound
trains. Here he should have remained,
for his rights under the rules gave
him sole possession of that track clear
to his lost cars, and all trains would
have been forced to wait for him. In
stead Hoxey sent his engine and the
head-end of the train which he should
have set out at Thornton over onto
tie west track, which is used by the
south-bound trains and started his
train back from Thornton to Chica-
go Heights for his lost cars"

OF these last two only the mangled

thought that they may belong to some
of the identified bodies, which would
reduce the number of dead to sixteen.
Five of the injured may die, and many
have two limbs broken.

HAD NO RIGHT ON THAT TRACK

Should Never Have Left Thornton With
out orders. Says the Report.
The statement thenproceeds: "HoAey
should never have left Thornton with
out orders and under no circum-
stances should ne have taken the
south bound track, as he had abso-
lutely no right or authority on that
track. This act made it well-nigh inn
possible for Conductor Cooper to sig
nal for him to stop, as the signal
could not be properly given. At Crete,
ILL.,, the dispatcher notified the con-
ductor on the north-bound excursion
train of the broken coal train at Chica-
60 Heights, and as the broken train
was on the north bound track, which was
for trains bound for Chicago, the dis
patcher's order was for the excursion
train to cross over to the west tracks,
used by the trains bound out of Chi
cago.
Engineer Downey, on the excursion
train, obeyed the order and as ne did
so his train pulled into the arms Of
death as dealt by Engineer Hoxey's
mistake or neglect. Meanwhile Station
Agent Smoot, at GlenwOod, who is
the operator also and who was not on
duty at the time, heard the message
go through his ticker for the excur-
sion train to leave the north-bOund
track for the south-bound. A minute
1o+o,, 70 hoo M n ,-,,Y,,J1Io f,.o,,, tho por+h
and looking up the track he saw Hox-
ey's engine with it's broken train of
coal cars leave the nOrth-bOund track
and cross over to the track the ex-
cursion train was ordered on.
1.-THE danger of the passengers on
the picnic train flashed through his
brain instantly and for a moment he
was almost paralyzed. Then he shook
off the feeling of dread, and copying
the message as he heard it ran to the
platform and tried to signal Hoxey's
train. The coal train went past him
at a good clip and only the brake
man seemed to understand that Smoot
was signaling to stop. He gave the
signal to Hoxey and Smoot ran up
screaming to him to back up his en-
CINE. Just then the excursion train
hove in sight and Hoxey reversed his
engine just as he reached the curve
south of Glenwood.
This was too late, however, for En-
gineer Downey to stop the excursion
train, as his view of Hoxey's coal
train was hidden by trees inside the
curve. Just as Hoxey's coal train
started to back the engine pulling the
excursion train hit the rear coal car.
That tells the story. What will be
done with Hoxey and Cooper rests
with the coroner's jury"
Following is correct list Of those
who lost their lives in the crash: John
Bierlinger 10 years old; Mrs. G. Ger
