freight SO at Edelstein. As the passen-
ger pulled into the station freight

without Stacking it's speed percep-

way, meeting the freight just on the
edge of hill one-haf mile west of
Fdelstein. The freight was double
heading into the station and was to
drop the extra engine at that place
All three of the engines were reduced
to scrap iron. Engineer Shea OF the
passenger was almost instantly killed.
The fireman on NO. Jumped
and though saving his life was badly
bruised Brakeman Hottie, of the
freight, was standing between the
tender of the extra engine and the
regular engine, preparatory to un-
coupling when the two trains met.
The trains of both passenger and
freight stood the impact well. But
one car of freight was wrecked, while
three of the express cars We're con
sumed by flames which broke out
shortly after the collision occurred.
/ The remaining coaches of No. 6 We're
undamaged and remained on the
track.
The track was torn up in the vicin-
ity of the wreck, but by 1870 it had
been sufficiently repaired to allow q
resumption of the regular schedule
During the interval trains were de-
toured by way OF the Rock Island
tracks between Chillicothe, No, and

THE MISSING MAN
By p. HATCH

CopyrS by and Shepard

"All this makes it evident that
Lenora expected to meet her husband,
but rot in Grovedale. for she was
surprised when she thought she saw
him coming. This argues a strong re-
semblance on the part of the twin
brothers. and which we know existed.
When Mr., Hamilton recognized her,
as he did by her emerald hair. he
asked her if he might talk with her,
and mentioned that he was intending
to take the next train for Portland.
The woman appeared puzzled, but
replied readily enough that she would
talk with him on the train.
What does this prove but that she
still supposed he was her husband,
and that from prudent motives he did
not wish her to recognize him on
the street? shall prove to you that
her husband, Victor Hamilton. other
wise Ashley. was fugitive from jus
tice, and his wife's caution was need
full not to bring detection upon her
husband. whom unexpectedly she sup
posed she had met in Grovedale when
she thought he was safe in Canada.
In her first excitement she forgot her
caution, but from that time was pru-
dent In proof Of this wrong conclu-
sion regarding the identity of her hus-
band she took the train south instead
of the one north Why did she do
this? Simply to travel with her hus-
band, as she supposed him to be, and
learn his plans
My client remembers vaguely that
he saw her on the train and talked
with her, but recollects nothing that
was said. for it was at this time that
his mind became eclipsed. What fol
lowed. The woman, doubtless con
virced of her mistake, left the train
at Mechanic Falls and went north to
join her husband at Coaticoke. Mr..
Hamilton went on his way to Port.
land Conductor Libby testities that
he saw him at the Portland depot, but
after that lost sight of him.
Now comes ip the testimony Of a
