Trouble on Rock Island is Most Serious
In Years.
Waterloo Aug. 19.-Chicago, Rock
Island and Pacific trains, which have
been detoured by way of the Chicago
Great Western between Waterloo and
Reinbeck were not expected to use
their own tracks between Waterloo and
Cedar Rapids before tonight and pos
sibly later. because of the washing
away of nearly a half mile of track
near Mt. Auburn and the removal of a
bridge about seventy feet in length. 1t
is the most serious washout that the
company has encountered in years.
Owing to the removal of culverts and
the roadbed to considerable depth 1t
Is impossible for the track men to lay
the rails substantially enough to permit
the pile driver to cross them. This is
what is causing the delay. Ordinarily,
it is possible for the pile driver to be
| transported to the point where 1t is
needed, but the flood of Thursday even
ing was too great for the solid and
seemingly impregnable grades Of the
company to withstand.
A force of men as large as can, be
worked to advantage has been engaged
in repairing the damage. Day and night
shifts are employed as it is serious
matter for a great railway system like
the Rock Island to be tied up and its
train schedules disarranged. The work
of repair went on Sunday the same is a
week day. and there will be no relenting
in energy until the tracks are restored.

work and that they will contribute
literally to our strike fund.

North Darlington, Mass, Aug. ls,-
Three persons were. killed and two Sc

which they were riding was struck by
the New York -Pittsfeld express at
Ashley Falls crossing near here.
The dead-Charles ]. Root, manu-

Mrs. Joel Root. mother Of Charles j.
Miss -. Roberts. sister of Mrs.
Root; died from injuries while being
taken to Pittsfield.

Miss Katherine Root, daughter Of
Charles j., knocked unconscious and
internally injured.
It is not known how the accident oc-
Cured, but 1t is supposed that the
party had no warning of the approach
ing train, as all except the child,
Katherine, were deaf. Those on the
train, however, say Root could hardly
have missed seeing the train, and they
think that he was not aware that the
road turned so sharply across the
tracks.

railway half a mile east Of Keystone a
few minutes before o'clock this NOR
ming, when passenger train No. 8,
west-bound, ran into handcar at a
switch. All but three Of the cars left
the track
The disaster took place on a grad de
twenty feet high. The fact that the
engine remained on the grade was all
that saved wholesale slaughter Of
the passengers. The handcar, which
caused the trouble, it is said had no
business on the track. The section
boss, who was hard Of hearing, had
a number of foreigners with him. Ital-
ians, it is understood. They saw the
passenger train coming. but thought
they could reach a side-track in plenty
of time But in. this they failed and
when one of the wheels on the hand
car got cought in the frog, the entire
gang got scared and ran for their lives,
