TORNADO bitches TRAIN.
ONE DEAD; SEVERAL HURT
Engineer Has Race zcith the Storm
IN Illinois.

Petersburg. H.. July 5.-An accommodation
passenger train on the Chicago. Peoria and st.
Louis Railroad was blown from the track at
Oakford ILL.,. twelve miles north of Peters
burg. early this evening and one train man was
killed and several were injured.
The train consisted of two coaches a baggage
car and the engine. and all except the engine
were hurled from the track down a seven foot
embankment. turning over twice In the descent
and landing in a splintered mass of debris. The
accident occurred just few rods from the
bridge over the Benjamin River The work OF
relief began Immediately. owing to the
markable escape of nearly all of the small num-
Der of passengers aboard those who ir-
jured and pinioned in the debris we're speedily
rescued Relief trains were hurried from Spring
field and Havana and the more seriously injured
taken TO hospitals
The engineer, who escaped injury, said he
watched the gathering storm closely as his train
sped along. he feared from the appearance
OF the clouds that tornado might result. AS
the train approached Oakford the clouds sud
denly seemed to concentrate and drop. appar-
emily coming directly towards the train Real
iziug that the train would encounter the tor
nado II IT proceeded. the engineer quickly shut
off steam and came to halt. The approac hing
tornado. when about a mile away TO the south
west and coming northeast. suddenly swerved
further towards the north. and the train was
directly in its path. In an instant the engineer
opened the throttle in wild endeavOr TO rush
beyond the zone Of danger. and again the tor
nado swerved and headed directly for the flying
train. The roar heard plainly above the
rattle of the train. Steam was crowded on. and
ike a rocket the light accommodation. jumping
and pounding on the rails, rushed ahead In an
endeavor to cross before the cyclone and pass
in safety. Suddenly with a crash that was heard
above the rumble and roar Of the tornado the
train was struck broadside. the coaches torn
from the engine and lifted into the air and
hurled from the embankment into the ditch
seven feet below
The wrecked cars took fire but the flames were
extinguished before any headway had been
made As soon as possible the injured were
placed aboard the relief train and taken TO
Springfield and Havana. and those whose inju-
ries were of a serious nature were placed in
hospitals General Manager II. W. Ciriaiey. who

[RY TELEGRAPH TO THE TRIBUNE ]

Tuxedo Park. n. Y, July 5.-The beautiful
villa known the Cammack Cottage. owned by
Mrs Bernard T. Steinman. in Tuxedo Park, was
destroyed by fire tonight. The local fire COM
pany could do nothing, the fire had gained
too much headway when the fremen arrived at
the cottage, which is situated on a high point
overlooking the Wee Wah Lake The water
pressure was insufficient and the wind was
blowing strong from the southwest. rendering
IL difficult to check the flames, which

All the antique furniture was lost and Mrs
Steinman's jewels. which were in the safe will
probably be total loss.
The fire started about 1:30 o'clock in Mrs
Steinman's room while she was at the club
house. The blaze probably due 70 some
defect in the electric fixtures.
The cottage vas built about seven years ago
by the late Addison Cammack and was one of
the finest in Tuxedo Park. With its contents

The summer crowd now at Tuxedo all turned

Tuxedo colonists have ever witnessed They did
what they could to aid the fremen in their
work. Mr. ana Mrs. Steinman have been in
their villa only about four weeks having Just
arrived from abroad. When the building COL

HE FEARS BEST'S PLAN.
DANGER TO THE PARK.
"Disgracefm Occupation Says c.
T'OmpkinS.

The Municipal Art Society of this city is
strongly opposed 10 the plan OF Bridge Commits
sioner Best extending the Manhattan terminal
of the Brooklyn Bridge into the City Hall Park.
Calvin Tompkns, president of the society and
chairman of its committee city plan. said
yesterday that counsel for the society had been
directed to make formal protest TO the Board
Of Estimate and Apportionment against the plan
of Commissioner Best being in effect a big
stride in the direction of park spoliation.
Nobody need believe" said Mr.. Tonlpkns,
that the terminal extension into City Hall Park
would be temporary. even if Mr.. Best gave
promise TO Park Commissioner Pallas to have
tie structure removed in eighteen months. The
structure would be used by the Brooklyn Rapid
Transit Company and would pass under its con-
troll. and instead Of being temporary struct-
ure ii would stand as Disagreement Of the
park for an indefinite time. IL not permanently.
There IS no need for such a disgraceful ocCupa-
tion of the park. because the terminal changes
necessary to relieve congestion could be made
without trespassing park territory"
The committee IF which Mr., Tompkins is
chairman has suggested plan for relieving con-
gAstion at the Manhattan terminal of the bridge
by means Of a subway loop for the cars crossing
the bridge. Such a loop. the committee thinks.
should extend from the bridge in descending

would distribute 10 stations along its line many
thousands of persons who now have to walk
nearly a mile 10 the bridge terminal every even
ing and tho same distance from the terminal -
their places of business every morning. The
loop would cross the surface and elevated lines
on the West Side, enabling many thousands
more TO make connections with those lines with
out walking far and without getting into the
crush the Manhattan terminal of the bridge.
The loop would seem 10 be the rational solution
