TRAIN BLOWN FROM
TRACK IN ILLINOIS
Tornado Wrecks Three Coaches on
Chicago, Peoria and St. Louis Ry.

Springfield, ILL.,: While running
from Peoria to Springfield, train No.
Z, on the Chicago, Peoria and st.
Louis railroad was blown from the
track by a tornado Tuesday evening
at $40 o'clock, one and one-half miles
north of Kilbourne, a small station
in Mason county, fourteen miles from
Havana. The train consisted of the
engine, baggage car and three coach
es. The engine remained on the track
but the baggage car and coaches were
hurled from the rails and two of the
coaches turned completely over three
times.
1t was the third time the engineer
had felt that his train was going to
be lifted by the tornado.
Baggagemaster Thomas Wiley of
Springfield was instantly killed and
jured. 1t is thought that one or two
of the injured may die.
The train left Peoria at AIS and
was due in Springfield at 7:15 p. m.
From Havana to Kilbourne the train
maintained a speed of about thirty-fve
miles an hour. Rain was falling in
torrents. Just as it was approaching
the 2OO-foot bridge over Pecan Run
creek there came a veritable water
spout of rain and with it the tornado.
An accurate idea of the intensity of
the storm may 'be had from the fol-
lowing story of Engineer Sherman
Martin:
I'VE were ploughing through sheets
of rain at q rate of about thirty-fve
miles an hour. The engine was hit
by a pop of wind, and l thought that
it had cut Fireman Schwarzberg's
head off, for he had his head out the
cab window at the time slapped on
the air brakes and turning, saw the
fireman was all right, and that the
wind had blown all the windows out
of the cab. We were just at the end
of the 200-foot trestle over Pecan
Run creek, when l brought the engine
to a dead stop by throwing on the
air.
81 waited a moment Then, think
Ing the WOTSI Ol the SJOILu udu pdooGub
started up again. l fought with the
storm to get my head out of the cab
window, and, looking back, saw the
coaches turning over in the ditch.
A large barn, with straw and grain
flying from 1t, was passing over the
engine. 1 again stopped the engine,
and found that had run ahead of the
train, every coach and baggage car
being in the ditch. Fireman SchwarZ-
berg and / then left the engine and
aided in the rescue work. The storm
was terrific for a time, and finally
passed"
A courier was dispatched to Kill
bourne and kilograms sent TO Spring
field and Havana for special trains
and physicians. The specials were
sent from both cities.
Thomas Wiley, the dead baggage
master, was So years Of age. He re-
sided in Peoria until recently.
Among the seriously injured was W,
H. Gridley, general superintendent Of
the Chicago, Peoria and st. Louis.
He was a passenger on the train. The
coach in which he was riding was
turned completely over. His left arm
was broken and he was otherwise
bodily bruised.

SEVERE BATTLE BEGUN
NEAR LIA0-YANG
Japanese Torpedo-Roat Destroyers
Reported Lost.

LOnQOns Inc Lao anB COTTeSpOu-
dent of the Daily Telegraph, in a
dispatch, dated July Z, at l a. m,
says:
"a battle is proceeding twenty
FIVE miles from here.
Numbers Of wounded are being
brought in from the mountains.
Evidently the engagement is a
severe one
1T is believed that the Japanese
are continuing their advance, with
the object of cutting off Mukden."
Tien-Tsin: Advices here have been
received that at 8 p. m. on last Sun
day four Japanese destroyers made a
determined attempt to enter Port
Arthur and attack the Russian fleet.
The destroyers were discovered by
the shore batteries. One of the de-
stroyers was sunk, under Golden Hill,
another under shore battery No. %
and a third one had its funnel shot
away. The fourth one succeeded in
effecting a retreat.
The reckless bravery of the Japan
csc in going to almost certain destruc-
ton eXcites nothing but admiration
The channel of Port Arthur is so tor
tuous and strewn with wrecks with
out that evidently it was regarded as
unnecessary to use a BOOM
On account of the difficulty of get
ting into the harbor, the feat is con-
sidered fully as daring as that Of the
japanese at Wei-Hai-Wei. where jap
anese torpedo-boats in a storm and
covered with ice were jumped over
the booms protecting the harbor,, and
destroyed Chinese warships.
On last Saturday, it is reported,
that fifty japanese spies were cap
tured at a place the name of which is
not given. Trains are reported to be
running both in and out Of Port Ar
thur for a distance of sixteen miles.
The Russian torpedo destroyer Lieu
tenant BurukofP, which successfully
ran the blocade at Port Arthur and
reached Niuchwang June 29, with ad-
vices for st. Petersburg from the be-
leagured fortress, has returned safely
to Port Arthpr.
The British gunboat Espiegle ar
rived at Niuchwang last Tuesday.
1t is reported that many Cossaclls,
while marching through the Tang. Chi
gorge, were drowned by floods.

graphed to the interior department
Wednesday that the total registrations
at the four offices in the Rosebud land
district on July was 1850. There
are only 24O0 claims of 160 acres each
to be disposed of, so that the number
of applicants filed was nearly twice as

Temporary Organization.

Enthusiastic cheering greeted the
chairmans announcement that he was
directed by the national committee
to appoint John Sharp Williams of
Mississippi temporary chairman, G. A.
Walsh temporary secretary and John
l. Martin temporary sergeant-at-arms.
Col. ]. NJ. Guffey of Pennsylvania and
NJ. F. Tarney of California were cho-
sen to escort Mr.. Williams to the
chair.
Mr.. Williams was attired in a light
gray suit and white waistcoat. He
delivered his address calmly and
without gestures. Several cries of
Louder! Louder" interrupted Mr..
Williams as he began, his clear but
not powerful voice at first failing to
reach all parts of the hall. AS he
proceeded his voice increased in vol
ume and the delegates listened at
tentively.
The convention appeared consider

whose thunder, the speaker said the
Republicans had tried to steal, was
seized upon by some of the Tammany
delegates as the opportunity to start
a demonstration for Cleveland. The
demonstration lasted several minutes.
A great part of Mr.. Williams
speech was delivered under great diff
flculties for the speaker and those
who were supposed to be most directly
interested in his remarks. The aisles
leading past the delegates were pack
ed by dense throngs who kept up a
constant hum of conversation that
smothered Mr.. Williams voice.

confirming previous report of the re-
pulse of the japanese attack on Port

ended September %. The fighting was

Glory Thanks to God! Glory to

The volunteers referred to by Gen.
Stoessel in the proclamation which ha
issued after the desperate fighting that
took place between September i9 ana

on to take a high hill which had been
captured by the Japanese.
From Semi-offlcial sources 1t is learn-
ed that the attack began on the 18th
along the whole line and lasted four
days, various positions changing hands
many times.
The high hill mentioned was a very
important position to the Russians.
The Japanese attacked repeatedly, DAN
and night. finally occupying the posi-
ton on the night of September %. at
ter suffering very severe losses. The
attempt to retake the hill being ex-
tremely hazardous, General Stoessel
refused to issue the order. but called
for volunteers. Everybody called upon
responded, whereupon a requisite num-
Der of men were selected, Lieutenant
Poggorsky and Captain Sychaff leading
them. Soldiers, and officers alike car
ried grenades (expIosive shells weigh
ing from two to six pounds which are
thrown by hand) and with these they
f1cations and drove the latter from all
of their positions. Several mines were
exploded during the general battle,
causing severe losses. The Russians
for the four days fighting reached 20,-
600 men.
No Damage to the OrieI.
ST. Petersburg, Oct. 3, 12:46 D. m.-.
Lieut.. Gen. Kleigels, governor general
of Kieff, has been granted leave OF
absence, and there is strong reason to
believe that this is preliminary to his
supersession, as he belongs distinctly
to the Won Plehve regime. He for
merly was prefect of police of st.
Petersburg.
The recent report that the battle
ship Oriel was damaged turns out to
be untrue. She touched a sandbar.
but got off under her own steam. The
admiralty says that not even a plate
was injured.
