Four Men Lose Their Lives, and IL
May Be Made Six.
Indianapolis, Oct. 29.-In a head-on
collision of two freight trains west Of
Springfield, O., on the Big Four rail-
road four Indianapolis men lost their
lives. while fifth is not expected to
recover. Fred Oren, a fireman, of Ur-
bana, ILL.,, is missing and is believed
to have been killed. The dead: Frank
Cook, engineer; Charles Thompson,
fireman: David f. Wallace. conductor,
and Roy Welsh, brakeman, all of Indi-
annapolis; Alonzo Weaver, an engineer,
perhaps fatally injured.
The cause Of the wreck has not been
definitely determined, but it is thought
that failure of an operator to deliver
a train order to one OF the trains
caused the collision. The trains came
together with a frightful crash and
the engines were totally demolished.

BRAKEMAN WOOD A HERO
Held the Car Door Open-Motorman
Sticks to His Post.

E1SiO the Oar OOOF Open-MOtOrIn6n
Sticks to His Post.
When the rear car of the train caught
on the abutment of the bridge where
it hung, poised for minute, there was
frantic rush of the passengers for
tic rear door. Probably 81 score or
more got out, and as the car plunged
over the edge others leaped into the
water Motornan Scott stuck to his
post. and went down with his train.
Conductor Curtis also persisted
The third trainman, Brakeman
Wood. proved himself a hero. When
the train left the rails and was bump
ing over the ties Wood ran to the rear
door Of the last car threw it wide
open and held it for the passengers to
escape. He held the door open until
the car slid off the bridge and went
into the water with it. He then swan
to the shore. His action in holding
the door open probably saved many
lives.
When the third car dropped into the
water Henry Roemer was in the act
OF crawling from window. Freeing
himself with an effort and being a
strong swimmer Roemer set about to
help others. Swimming along the side
of the fast sinking car he kicked out
the glass and thus gave several pas
sengers an opportunity to escape. One
man was caught in a window and was
drowned before he could extricate him
self.
The accident was witnessed by many
| people. and rescue work was prompt.
Strong swimmers endeavored to dive
TO the submerged cars in search Of
| bodies. but so strong was the tide that
they were forced to desist. Profess
sional divers were then secured, who
douned their armor and went down.
But even they were unable to do any
thing against the tide that swirled
around the sunken coaches.
An italian named Marco Bona was
rescued from the third car. bit died
from his injuries. Boats soon swarmed
about the spot whore the cars went
down, their location being marked by
the tops OF their trolley poles.

Atlantic City, n. J., Oct. CA rail-
road accident that was even worse
than the Meadow wreck of July 30,
1896. has sent about eighty people TO
a sudden death, catching them like
rats in a trap. The cars Of an cleo
trio train of the West Jersey and Sea-
shore railroad lines Jumped the track
on the trestle bridge over the Thor
oIghfare. and before any one could
get out they were buried in a watery
grave. The trestle is about fifteen feet
above the water. The accident was
due to a rail turning in
Rail Was Out of Plumb.
It appears that the rail, which was
an outside one on the right hand side
coming down, must have been out OF
plumb about an eighth Of an inch. The
sharp flangs of the electric train
caught this and twisted 1t inwards.
Had it spread instead of twisting in
wards the accident never would have
happened This twist threw the first
car oft the track and into the water
The result was that the second and
third cars were dragged with it, and
while the third car was descending
the rear portion struck a piece Of the
abutment, hung for a short time, and
then slid into tne water.
Stop Saved Several Lives.
But this brief stop saved several
lives. \ number Of men and a few
women leaped out windows and the
rear door. either into the water. or
caught hold of post. and were res
cued. 1t was stated that fully eighty
to 100 passengers were aboard, most
ly 1il crowded into the first and sec
ond cars. These were engulfed. Among
the passengers We're twenty men Of the
Royal Artillery band on their way here
from Philadelphia. One or two bodies
of the bandsmen were recovered.

 Mr Burkett had as an opponent in his race for the senate no less a dis tinguished character than William Jennings Bryan. The latter had the united support of the democrats nopu- lists and free silver republicans. There was red-hot f@ht for the election of members of the legislature. and Bryan took advantage of every mistake the republicans had made since they had fe2ained control If Nebraska and spoke in every district in the state. His fight was anavaiiins. however, and Mr. Bafkett found al the end Of the campaign of 1901 that he had ma iority of the legislature with him
 Elmer BHrkett as he is familiarly known among his old friends of the house, WAS one Of Speaker Cannon's boys He served six years in the house and four of these as a member of the great appropriations committee, where Uncle Joe had immediate charge of him. The training he had received under that veteran statesman vas good one. and had not the Ne, hraska legislature sent him to the sen ate. the chances are that lie would have succeeded Mir Hemenway as chairman of the big money committee of the house.
