On the B. & O. Road AZ
Lives Were Lost.
BURNED TO DEATH
An Immigrant Train Crashed Into a
Freight and the Passenger Cars
We're Destroyed by Fire.

Chicago, Ill.-More than half the
on the Baltimore & Ohio road were
killed and injured in a collision Mon
day between the passenger train and
freight near Woodville, Ind.
One hundred and sixty-five passen-
gers were on the train. OF these AZ
were either killed outright or were
burned to death in a fire that broke
out in the wreckags Immediately af-
ter the collision. The names of all the
dead will probably never be known, as
40 of the bodies were consumed In the
flames or were so badly burned that
Identification will be out of the ques-
ton. Thirty-eisht people were injur-
ed and several of these will die.
The disaster was caused by blum
der of some employe Of the railroad
company, but Just where the blame
lies has not been determined. The
passenger train, which was loaded
with Russian Jews, Servians and
Poles, all of them recent arrivals in
this country and bound for Chicago or
places in the northwest, was the Sec
ond section of through train from
lu6 tu6lnCCI iCi6uI
train No. SO on instructions received
at McCool, Ind, waited at siding at
Babcock, Ind, to allow the immigrant
train to pass.
One report is that the engineer Of
the freight train had not been IN
formed that the passenger train was
running in two sections; the other is
that the first section of the passenger
train carried no lights or signals In
| dicating that the second section was
close behind. AS soon as the first Sec
tion of the immigrant train had passed
the switch at Babcock, the freight
train in charge of Engineer Burke and
Conductor Moste started eastward.
A light snow was falling, which in.
creased the darkness of the early
morning and as the freight was round
ing a sharp curve, just west of Wood.
Vile, the second section of the immi
grant train came in sight short dis
tance away, tearing toward Chicago at
the rate of 40 miles an hour. The two
trains came together with unslack
ened speed and in the crash six pas
senger coaches and several freight
cars were knocked into kindling wood
and, together with the locomotives
went rolling down the ten-foot EN-
| bankment.
Fire broke out almost Immediately
in the wreckage and although mum
Der of the injured were saved by the
desperate efforts of the train crew anG
surviving passengers, the greater par
of those who were pinned down in the
debris were burned to death. The
flames spread through the wreckage
so rapidly that it was impossible tt
save a number of people who were
only slightly hurt, but were held fas
by timbers that weighted them down

"Iv coorse," said Policeman Flynn,
and he was very thoughtful as he left
home He wanted to ask for details,
but he deemed 1t wise not to do SO.
Mrs. Flynn is exceptionally sarcastic
when she gets the idea that she is do

has a tendency to induce the patrol
man to solve problems in his own
original way. However, there was the
light of victory in his eyes when he
went on duty that night, and almost
the first thing he did was to interview
Casey.

time. Never before had he left the

stage entrance SO entirely alone, for

but, as Policeman Flynn had said,
they were nuisances-although OF a
kind numerous in every large city
and in this instance the stage entrance
was so arranged that it was difficult
to keep 1t clear of them.
Finally, when the assembled crowd
was large enough to suit him, the pa
trolman made his sally. Out OF the
alley went the youths and In at the
front door of Casey's saloon, with the
officer in close, pursuit. This time he
knew where to go when he emerged
on the street, and he found in Casey's
back room as panic-stricken a crowd

was locked and exit that way was i'm

THE TRUE GOLDEN AGE.
It Is Good to Be Young, But Better
TO Be Wise-Wisdom Really the
Only True Wealth.

It is common frailty of the spirit
to deplore our accumulating years and
look with envy on the luxuriant care
lessness of youth, as If experience
and culture and the enrichment OF
memory were not almost the only
true wealth. 1t is good to be young,
but it is better to be wise; for youth
is often sad. and wisdom's chief con-
Germ, after all, is happiness.
l have known persons, two or three.
OF SO rare a character that time did
not seem to touch them as 1t passed.
By some blessed miracle of nature
they appeared immune from all de-
terioration or impairment, undis-
traught by difficulties, unimbittered
by distress. unarrested by any calami-
ty or toll. Sorrow could not break
their singing spirits, nor misfortune
cast them down for long. They had
fine balance of disposition, which is
the chiefest Of blessings. They could
be counted upon to confront any enig-
ma Of existence with an eager, Impair
tial intelligence, always looking for
new truth and always abiding by the
truth already found; their instinct
for beauty was too keen and too great
to suffer either safety or perversion;
and their fund of love too profound
to be depleted. If natural grief came
to them or they were overtaken in
some irrational disaster they bowed
before the wind OF destiny and sor-
rowed nightly, as great hearts must,
but came up again out OF the dust,
plant and undestroyed; unshaken in
faith as before and lovelier than ever
in the gentleness of their regard.
You could not guess their years, you
could only say they seemed to live
by some perennial charm in state
where all evil was incongruous and
decrepitude could never come. And
with all their maturity of mind, their
magnificent qualities of strength and
sympathy, there was always about
them touch Of the child, breath of
perpetual innocence and wonder. as
