Near Springfield.

Springfield, ILL.,, Oct. 6.-One pas
senger was killed outright and 35
persons injured, four probably IA
tally, in a collision last night between
the state fair special taking home
several hundred excursionists who
had been attending the state fair in
this city and Il regular passenger
train on the Illinois Central at Par
nell, miles south of Farmer City.
Dead and Injured.
The dead:
Miss Clara Watson of Farmer City.
Probably fatally injured:
Mrs. Thomas Bateman, Farmer
City.
B. f. Barnes, Farmer City, frac-
tured skull.
Jacob Ross, Gibson City.
Daniel Hollowell, Farmer City.
The seriously injured:

Engineer McCue of the regular

Frank Mckinley of Farmer City.
The Misses McCord. Dewitt
Frank Hansey, Farmer City.
Darius Waters, Farmer City.
Thomas Batman, Farmer City.
On sharp Curve.
The wreck occurred at a sharp
curve while the trains were running
at very high rate of speed and the
two engines came together with a
terrific force. Four coaches of the
special were smashed. A special
train brought physicians from Clin-
ton and the injured were given at
tention.
Conductor Told story.
1t was II O'Clock before news of
the accident reached Farmer City,
when Conductor Duncan of the spec
ial. himself seriously injured, limped
into town and told of the wreck.
Word was sent to Clinton and in a
few minutes a special carrying ply
sicians was on the way to the scene.
The body of Miss Watson was seen
beneath the wreckage but it was
pinned down so that rescue was diff
fcult.
Did Not Take Fire.
The fact that the wreckage did not
catch fire is responsible for the num-
ber of dead and injured being Sc
small. as many of the injured were
pinned down for some time under
the debris.
BIamcs borrowed watch.
Conductor Duncan of the special
gives his version of cause of the
wreck. His own watch was being
repaired and he was using his sons
watch, he says. The dial of the sons
watch was not in the same position
as on his own, and when he looked
at it he thought he had IA minutes
in which to run to the Farmer City
siding, miles from the scene of the
accident
Engineer Clark of the special OF
rounding the curve saw the head |
light of the southbound passenger
train, shut off steam and reversed
the engine.
