PRIEST HEROES AT A WRECK.
Amid Binding Snowstorm They Toll
Administering to Victims.

A writer in the current, Catholic
Columbian presents q graphic ac-
count OF the heroic aabors Of two
priests at the recent terrible railroad
wreck near Woodville, Indiana. II
will be remembered that a freight
train crashed into a passenger on
which were a large number Of inl1ni-
grants from Germany, Bohemia, and
Poland, bound for Chicago. After de-
scribing the crash the writer says:
1t was 4:20 in the morning and
murky dark, tho storm still ragged and
the snow fell in binding sheets. At
Chesterton, two miles north, lives
Father Herman Jerascheck, at whose
church the Forty Hours devotion was
in progress, and he was being as

whom was Father John Berg Of Whit

Baltimore and Ohio, and that the cars
were burning the human beings per-

called Father Berg, ordered his horse,
secured the Holy Eucharist, sprang
into his buggy, lashed his horse into
mad gallop and rushed through the
binding storm to the scene Of the
wreck, arriving there twenty-five min
utes after the crash.
When the two priests arrived the
air was filled with the screams and
groans Of the wounded and dying,

Priest Hero Dead.

The news OF tho death Of another
priest hero, another Father Damien,

Dutch Guina. Father Lenmens.
chaplain Of the life colony at Para
maribo, recently died Of leprosy.
Born at Maestricht, Holland, on July
%, 1850, Father Lemmens entered the
Dutch army as an officer at an early
period of his life. In that capacity he
went to surinam, Dutch Guiana, in
1873. Four years later he abandoned
the military life at the age Of 30, ex-
changing the uniform Of a military
oficer for the habit Of a Redemptorist
missionary. In 1886 he was ordained
a priest and Immediately devoted him
self to the work Of attending to the

could be only one result Of this devo-
tion. The anticipated took place.

was stricken with ieprosy.- He there
upon voluntarily isolated himself and
became the chaplain to a. hospital Cor

Dutch Guiana. And so cut of from
all society except that of lepers, ne
worked on patiently, bravely, heroi-
cally. for four years, till his Divine
Master called him to his eternal re-
ward.

answered by scores Of suffering men

prayerbooks and rosaries. He was
instantly among them, giving absolu-

The fire gained on the crew and
the heroic farmers who rushed to
the rescue from the neighboring farm

crept onward, those upon the scene

gray dawn settled slowly down upon
