Four Box Cars Of q Freight Train
Piled up at Beach Stop
all Traffic
TRAINS SENT OVER WEST LINE
New Line Of North western is Given its
First Trial Test as Result of
Wreck Property Loss Said
to be Very Small

Just after 8o'clock friday morning a
freight train on the Northwestern
road was wrecked just north Of Beach
station and south Of Zion city and for
more than three hours all traffic on
the road was interfered with. How
ever the trains were not all three hours
late as after the facts in connection
with the wreck became known two
trains from the south and one from
the north were sent over the new line
Of the company and they reached Ke-
nosha by way Of Ranney. These
three trains were the first passenger
trains run over the new line.
The trains from the south were sent
west at Waukegan, and the run from
Waukegan to Kenosha by way Of
Ranney was made In schedule time.
The trains from the north left the main
line at Kenosha and were taken over
to the west line by way of the Chi
cago and Rockford division. It is
claimed that the trains lost less than
half an hour as result of the change
from one road to the other.
Several of the officials of the com
pany were on the trains and they
expressed themselves as well pleased
with the condition of the new line.
Many of the passengers on the trains
did not know that the change had
been made. With the west line it will
be an easy matter for the company to
keep traffic open regardless of wrecks
along the road as it will be possible to
send trains out TO the west line from
any station between Chicago and
Milwaukee. TIE new line will prove
great help to the managers of the
company in keeping the traffic open
during the work of cleaning away
wrecks.
The freight train, which was
wrecked at Beach, was an extra
freight which had passed through
Kenosha just after half past seven
O'Clock. twas going south and was
to have made Waukegan IN order to
allow the passenger trains to pass.
Just before the Beach station vas
reached the fange on one of the car
wheels broke and four cars were piled
across the tracks. Both the north and
south tracks were blocked. The en-
CINE did not leave the track and none
of the members of the crew were in
jured. A brakeman, who was on one
Of the cars derailed, had narrow es-
cape but he jumped to the ground and
escaped without scratch. The cars
were piled in such manner that both
tracks were blocked and wrecking
crews were sent out from both Chica-
go and Milwaukee to clear away the
wreck. The crews made record break
ing time, for the train from the south
reaching Kenosha at 1910, came in
over the main line half hour late.
BY eleven O'Clock the wrecking crews
had returned from the scene of the
wreck bringing the broken cars with
them. 1t is reported at the Office of
the company that the property loss as
result of the wreck will be small.
The cars derailed were all empty.

Racine Men Claim Evidence That
Chicago & Milwaukee and C.
N. & St. Paul Will Merge
COMP ANY DENIES STATEMENT
New Line to Racine to be Opened Early
in septem ber-C Council Committee
Not to Meet President A. C.
Frost This Evening

The old story of the connection be-
tween the Chicago and Milwaukee
Electric Railway company and the
Chlcago, Milwaukee and st. Paul
company have been revived and tele-
grams being sent out from Racine
state that the men in charge Of build
ing the electric line near that city
have placed rails for switch con-
nection with the steam road. This
!, IS undoubtedly true, but it is stated
10y men who have been connected
with the company that this switch is
/ to be built simply to aid the Electric
Railway company in securing materi-
ais for the completion of the line be-
tween Racine and Milwaukee.
Since the first rail was laid for the
building of the Chicago and Milwau-
kee road it has been alleged that the
road was ia time to be a part of the
Chicago, Milwaukee and ST. Paul
system, but this statement has been
repeatedly and vigorously denied by
the officials of the Electric Railway
company, who have held from the
first that the line was independent in
every way.
The men who claim to see the union
cite IN this connection that locomo-
tives belonging to the steam road were
used in the construction of the cleo
I trio line, and the further fact that the
electric line will tap territory which
tho Cb;ca rr aod M;1wa,,1-ae l..e 1o..a-
sought to enter.
If the lines are to be connected no
one in Kenosha will raise an obiec-
ton as such union would bring to
the city competitive freight line. 1t
would have the same effect in Wau-
kegan. 1t is claimed that there is
nothing in the charter under which
the Chicago and Milwaukee is work
ing to prevent its being used as
steam road.
The work on the line to Racine is
now all but completed, and it is stated
by the managers of the.company that
the opening OF that branch will take
place on either Sept. 8 or IL, and the
plans for the opening are now being
l -
completed. It is planned to hold the
usual banquet and covers will be laid
for more than six hundred.
It was expected that the common
council committee would meet with
A. G. Frost tonight in an effort to
reach, some agreement in regard to
the extension of the lines of the Ke-
nosha Electric Railway company, but
the meeting has been postponed again
on account of the fact that G. F.
Stemm, one of the members of the
committee, is in Minneapolis attend
| ing the reunion Of the Grand Army.
1t is probable that the meeting will
be held some time next week.
| President Frost will have a new
proposition to make to the committee,
and it is hinted that the committee
will have some suggestions to make
in regard to lower fares for the use of
the working people of the city. This
plan was proposed to the officials of
the road several months ago, but at
that time President Frost stated that
| it would be impossible for the COM
pany to consider such a proposition.

OOA RuAG - (@MSMA GA
The coroner's jury, called to inves-
tigate into the death of Schroeder,
who was killed at the North
Western depot on Thursday, fin
ished its work. Friday morning, and
the verdict is something of surprise
in that it places some liza bility on the
contractors in charge of the con-
struction of the depot. All of the
men employed at the work were called
as witnesses before the jury, and
after hearing their stories of the ac-
cident, the jury returned the follow
ing verdict:
THAT the said Frederick Schroeder
came to his death by being knocked
off the roof of the C. & N. w. Railway
freight depot under course of con-
struction by the William Adams Com
pany, contractors, AS La Sale street,
Chicago, by derrick, used for hoist
ing materials, which fell as result of
its not being properly secured, one
guy rope being unfastened."
The evidence of the several wit
bNSSOS ShOW GU COuCluSlVGly IudI the
derrick while perfect in construction
in all other ways, was improperly Sc
! cured, and Schroeder had been in
danger of injury all the time he was
working near the derrick.
Under the finding of the jury the
liability for the death of Schroeder is
in measure placed upon the con-
tractor in charge of the work, but the
jury was unwilling to put into the
verdict clause showing criminal
negligence on the part of the con-
tractors. AS one of the jurors put it,
the facts in regard to the case were
incorporated in the verdict without
comment.
Schroeder is survived by widow,
and it is possible that she will seek
damages from the company, and
should she institute such a suit the
verdict of the coroner's jury would be
a great aid to her.
The funeral was held from the
Hansen undertaking parlors on Sun
day afternoon. The dead man
was member of the Kenosha chap
ter of the Danish Brotherhood and the
Brotherhood had charge OF the
funeral. Intermept was at the
city cemetery.

Fred Schroeder a Northwestern
Freight Office Employee is
Crushed BY q Derrick
SKULL is FRACTURED BY FAIL !,
Man Fell Twenty Feet From Freight
Depot and Heavy Derrick Fell on
Top of Him. Death Followed At
ter at the Kenosha Hospital

Frederick Schroeder, aged thirty
two years, a laborer residing at Sol
Bond street, met an awful death on
he was crushed uuder falling der
rick at the freight depot Of the Chi
cago and Northwestern station. He
died at the Kenosha hospital an hour
after the accident.
Schroeder had been employed IS a
mason helper and was assisting che
masons in building fire wall on the
roof of the new depot. He was en-
gagged in hauling mortar from plat
form to the wall at the time of the ac-
cident. In order to raise the brick
and mortar from the ground derrick
had been erected and it was held in
place by a number of ropes. A pail of
mortar had just been pulled up and
Schroeder had loaded it in a wheel
barrow on the platform at the top Of
the derrick. He had just turned TO
take the mortar to the workn1en when
one Of the ropes holding the derrick
broke. Schroeder reached out. and
got hold of the derrick, thinking that
he could hold it until the rope could
be repaired, but with crash the
timbers shattered and fell, burying
the unfortunate workman under the
debris. AS rapidly as possible the
debris was removed and the injured
man taken out. He had been terribly
crushed. Hisshead was all but split
open and the skull was fractured III
several places. Nearly all of the
bones in the q lrer. part of his body
were broken,
AS soonsas possible the ambulance
was called and he was removed to the
Kenosha hospital. DR.. H. A. Robin
son, the surgeon of the railway COM
pany, wasscalled to attend the injured
man, but he.saw at once that the man
was past human aid. The wife was
hurriedly summoned to the hospital
and she reached the bedside of her
husband.a few minutes'before he died.
Schroeder, however, never regained
consciousness.
but had resided in Kenosfa for some
time AID was we'll known among the
Danish people ofEthe city. He was
married last Aprilsand the young wife
is Frustrated on account Of the acct
dent.
Men who were working near Schroe-
der at the time of the accident, claim
that he would have escaped unhnrt
had it not been for the fact that he
attempted to save the derrick from
falling. The fatal accident caused
the suspension of work on the building
for the remainder of the day. Schroe-
der had been employed at the depot
since the work of rebuilding started
and he was asgreat favorite with the
workmen.

DUN'S REVIEW.

New York. November Or. G. Dun &
Co.'S weekly review of trade tomorrow
will say:
Business experienced the customary in
terruption during election week. but
more permanent, retardng influence was
the inadequate supply of freight cars and
labor. Many Industries are severely handi-
capped by traffic delays. In other cases,
there is idle machinery because hands
cannot be secured despite the high wages
offered
This difficulty threatens to reduce the
lumber cut materially. Several strikes
are threatened and one railway system
alone has advanced wages to the extent
of a million dollars monthly. Retail trade
is well maintained by lower temperature
in some sections of the country and the
full employment of labor at all points,
while wholesale business in holiday goods
is very heavy. Standard steel rails are
held steady but light rails have again
advanced Several large pipe contracts
are pending yet the mills have so much
business on hand that there is not the
customary sharp competition to get new
business. More advances have occurred
in pig iron and new ore season has
opened with a rise of from 80 to 70 cents
a ton. Less interest is shown in the prl-
mary market for cotton goods although
there is fair volume of business in
progress. The persistent reaction in raw
materials has had it's influence at last,
buyers now believing that concessions
must follow a period of Indifference on
their part. Little export buying is report
ed, stocks at Shanghai preventing Chi
nese business, and other foreign custo-
mers complaining of high prices. Better
conditions are noted in wooden goods.
Leather is very firm. especially sole. and
efforts to force reduction from the re-
cent advance have proved unsuccessful.
Interrupted movement of grain to pr
mary markets and the consequent re-
stricton of foreign business as well as
activity of northwestern flour mills.
checked the upward tendency of quota
tions and caused some reaction. Phenomi-
nally heavy port receipts of cotton car
ried prices still lower, although there
was the support of exports well above
last years. Speculative interest dimin-
ished as the time for publication of the
ginning report approached. most esti-
mates promising a large increase over
last years figure despite the fact that
a loss was shown by the statement two
weeks earlier. Liabilities of commercial
failures thus far reported for November
amounted to Sl22l,132, of which S537,7S0
was in manufacturing; $672 ,537 in trading
and $10S15 in other commercial lines

HAS FINE RECORD.
One of Joe Wheeler's Cavalrymen Is
CuItivatng His Own Farm.

Athens, November Extraordinarily
years of age and actively engaged IN
farming, is the record of an old hero who,
for four years, rode the cavalry led by the
fearless and intrepid Joe Wheeler, whose
name is C. Allison. and who lives with

He is nearly blind, but is hale and
