Twenty-four Persons Killed and Seven

Twenty-four women and children wers
killed and seventy-two injured, forty Sc
riouslys In a collision between an excur-
sion train loaded to the platforms with
Sunday school ~picnickers from Doremus
Congregational Church, Chicago, and a
freight train near Glenwood, ILL.,, at $40
o'clock Wednesday night
The wreck was the result of a misun-
Outstanding Of orders. The excursion
train was coming north on the south
bound track Of the Chicago and Eastern
illinois Railroad when at a curve half a
mile south of Glenwood it crashed into
the rear end Of a coal train. The bag
gage car was telescoped and the first
coach completely demolished. Both cars
were filed with children and old WON
en-.
The party Of 750 picnickers was re-
turning from Island Park, Momence. For
the most Fart the passengers were hap
by children and their mothers. Some
were singing and some were asleep when
the wreck came.
At the crash those in the rear cars OF
the eleven-coach train rushed for the
doors or jumped through the windows,
many being injured. In 'front.', the first
two cars, crushed like egg shells, were
crowded with dead and injured.
The baggage car had been filed with
romping children. The roof OF the first
passenger was rammed clear through IL,
pushing the cruelty crushed mass of hui
mainly through the breaks in the walls.
The first passenger car was torn to splin-
tiers.
Word was sent to Chicago Heights and
Glenwood and relief parties reached the
spot fifteen minutes later. The scene
was a most fearful thing. Struggling
masses OF bodies could be seen through
the openings in the cars. The dead and
injured were packed in together.
The dead were terribly, horribly man
gled, heads and limbs having been sew
cred, and in the midst were the MANNED
and injured living. 1t was fifteen min
utes before the first body was taken out.
There was no screaming or wailing.
The picnickers came to the aid of the
workers who had arrived in large num-
bers. Eight physicians were soon on the
scene.
The enormity Of the catastrophe did
not become apparent until they started
to take the bodies out The passengers
in two cars which were smashed were
mostly mothers and their children. Fam
lilies had stayed together. Few in the
other coaches had relatives among those
killed.
Fires We're built to heat water. 1he
farmers brought water in milk cans The
field hospital was operating among the
piles of dead until s o'clock, when the
last bodies which could be found were
taken out and placed on a special train
for Chicago.

Chicago, where Grovers cleveland was
nominated as the rising sun broke
through the scattering storm clouds.
Again the Democracy, after twelve
years, nominated its standard bearer
in the late hours of the morning, and
the other circumstances surrounding
the nomination of Alton B.. Parker, as
well as the physical environment, were
much the same as those on the wild
night Of 1892.
The convention adopted without dis
sent q platform Of which not ) per
cent of the whole convention heard q
single paragraph read. All that the
delegates and the crowd heard with
any distinctness was the declaration OF
Senator Daniel, of Virginia. who read
the creed that had kept the commit
tee on resolutions out of bed for a
straight thirty-six hours, that the plat.
form had the unanimous support OF
the committee.
There were two big demonstrations
in connection with the event that a

day Of the convention. One Of them
followed the speech Of Martin w. Lit
Teton. of New York, presenting to the
convention the name of Judge Alton Is.
Parker, Of the Empire State Supreme
Court, and the other followed the
speech Of D. NJ. Delmas, of California,
placing In nomination William RAN
dolph Hearst.
A convention hall like an oven could
not diminish the interest Of the thou
sands Of men and women. Women
hundreds of them-stood for hours
among persons of all types whom they
knew not The hall was ~suffocating,
but no one thought of moving until
the big event had been brought to its
close.
Time after time the chairman-Sen-
ator Bailey, of Texas, acting part OF
the time for Champ Clark-threat'
ened to clear the galleries If disturb
ances did not cease. When orators
were nominating or seconding the nom-
nation Of Hearst, p%artisans here and
there were loudly shouting Parker"
and when Parker orators had the stage
the crowds would shout for Hearst
and Bryan.
The Parker and Hearst nominating
speeches came early in the long nights
session, and while they furnished the
wild excitement, it remained for the
presentation OF Senator Cockrell's
name by Champ Clark at nearly
o'clock in the morning to bring about
the prettisst spectacle of a wonderful
convention session. Thousands Of those

ton to make the vote unanimous. and
the motion was carried with a whoop.
The vote for vice presidential can
didates was as follows:
Davis ....... GAG Williams -. l66

The motion to make the vote unani-

Davis vas almost up to the vote on
Parker, his being eos before any dele

After a few moments of loud talking
by Chairman Clark, that was not heard

WOULD AVOID DIPPING CATTLE
Delegation Petitions President and
Secretary Of Agriculture.

By an order promulgated in March By
the Secretary of Agriculture, it is re-
quired that all cattle west Of the Missis-
sippi river intended for shipment should
be dipped in a preparation prescribed
by the department for the purpose OF abb
solutely exterminating the skin disorder
known az the mango, which has existed
to a limited extent for many years in
that section.
As 1t has been found impossible to
make necessary preparations and round
up and dip the cattle within the limited
time allowed, numerous petitions have
reached the department praying for a
relaxation of the order. The other day 3
delegation appeared before the Secretary
OF Agriculture. and later called on the
President, requesting that the order be
20 modified as to obviate the dipping Of
beef cattle before shipment and In lieu
thereof to institute rigid government In

the cattle are loaded OF the cars

possible issue in this campaign, and only

SOME DEMOCRATS acknowledge that Presi-
dent Roosevelt's letter Of acceptance is what
the New York World calls "a Mastery Politi-
cal Pamphlet.p The sterling personality Of
the man who wrote it is in it and no one can
read It without feeling the warmth of its ut
terances and the nervous strength Of his logic.
Already the Democrats are advising and warn
ing Judge Parker to put ginger" in his sor-
NAL letter Of acceptance. His speech Of &C.
ceptance had a chilling effect and his address
to the editors only added more ice to former
utterances. A Democrat unable to shout and
be demonstrative is only half alive. Vermont
and Maine are icicles on Democratic enthu-
siasm and now If the party is to be again
treated to cold court deliverance on academic
ideas it will be frozen altogether and the Re
publicans will win the campaign before it is
fairly begun.

OEK OF the finest political meetings ever
seen in Baltimore was that held in Music Hall
on Tuesday night to greet Hon. Charles War
rem Fairbanks, Republican nominee for Vice
President. q. s. Senator McComas, of Mary
land, presided and hundreds Of prominent
Republicans from different sections Of the
State we're either on the platform or in the
audience. The attendance was SO large that it
crowded the immense hall to the doors and an
overflow meeting had to be held for those who
could not gain admission. OF course Senator
Fairbanks was the star speaker Of the evening
and he made an address that reflected much
credit upon himself as well as upon his party.
The greatest enthusiasm and good feeling pre-
vailed throughout the meeting and that 1t ao-
compIished much good all admitted. Senator
Fairbanks is fine speaker and his command
ing presence added very much to the force of

OK MONDAY last, at the meeting of the Afri-

"What stand should the colored voter take in
the approaching State, National and City cleo
tions2" Among other things he said: IF
the managers in Baltimore city and the State
are not careful Of their treatment of the intel
ligent and capable negroes. Isay it will happen
here as It happened in New York. There the
Republican managers refused to act fairly with
the colored man and at the next election the
negro voted with Tammany and the Republic
cans were defeated. Tammany as result gave
the negroes important positions, from clerk
ship of 81. 800 up to tax collector at 81. 500.
The time has come for the colored man to
centralize himself by organization and play
politics like others play it."

The Democratic orator is apt to say in hu-
morous or satirical way that the Republicans
claim they are responsible for the good har-
vests. Of course, this will do by way Of jest,
but it is no joke for the Republicans to claim
that they have created conditions, through the
policy Of protection, which have made the far
mer's crops profitable. In the old days the
pillow bad to depend upon the ship for its profit
that is, upon exports of grain. The Repub-
lican policy has created q home market. The
farm is close to the mill and shop, so now we
raise for home consumption, and it is ques-
ton If this year we will have enough wheat to
60 around. Free trade would have made rs
purely an agricultural country, depending upon
the vicissitudes of climate, bad crops and for
eign demand for our profits. Such was the
condition of the South before the war, making
cotton its king. With increasing manufacto-
ries have come the extension of the farming
area and the necessity of opening new lands by
irrigation. Every place the shop follows the
plow, and in consequence the farmer in all
sections is happy.
