Belle PLANE. Oct. 20.-By the ex.
ilosicn Of a locomotive boiler on a
coal train at Hartwick, twelve miles
south of Belle PLANE late yesterday
on the south branch, Ed holman, en-
gineer, and Frank Debates, fireman, are
dead, and Frank F'ivola, brakeman
was fatally injured. All flived in Belle
PLANE. The train was coming north
to Belle Plaine Just what caused the
accident will probably never be known
as all three men on the engine were
either killed outright or are now un-
conscious The engine and dead en-
gineer were torn to fragments and
scattered over a large space. The dead
engineer leaves a wife and family
Fireman Debates lived until after mid
night. He was severely scalded
Running Thirty Miles Per Hour.
1t seems when the train left Hart
wick going north, nothing unusual
about the engine was noticed An I'M
verified report is that "she was foam
ing which means the heated water
and oil were being thrown out of the
escapes. The track north of Hartwi lex
is down grade and while the train was
moving probably at thirty miles an
hour the explosion occurred, which lit
orally blew the engineer to pieces. His
head and upper parts of the body were
found and taken to Belle Plaine on the
relief train. Brakeman Frank Fivola
and Fireman Debates were in the cab
when the explosion occurred and for
a wonder escaped instant death.
Engine Total Wreck.
The engine now lies thirty feet east
Of the track and is nothing but brok-
en- boiler. All Of the top works We're
stripped as clean as tho shaved Off All
Of the lower running gear, wheels,
trucks, ETC., are almost on the rails
under wreckage Of seven coal cars.
The fire box was blown into hundreds
of pieces and this heavy iron was brok-
en- as if cardboard. Evidently the
force Of the explosion was downward,
as a hole three or four feet deep is
filled with the broken running gear,
and car Wreckage.
The boiler was blown clean of every
attachment Some pieces of iron weigh
ing three or four hundred pounds are
seen 500 feet from the right Of way.
1t appears as tho the whole train of
loaded coal cars stopped instantly, and
remarkable as it is, seven cars and the
caboose in9the rear of the train stayed
on the rails and were hauled back to
Hartwick uninjured The cause prob
ably will neyersbe known.

1t seems that the slipshod manner in
which national bank examiners have
been performing their duties is
responsible for many failures which
could have been averted, and this de-
cided the controller of the currency to
remove twenty of these men to other
points. Instead of merely shifting
them to other places they should have
been fred bodily from the service.
Anent the situation Controller Murray
says: "In almost every case of a
national bank failure since I have
been controller the insolvency could
have been averted had the examiners
determined the true condition and re-
ported his findings in time for me to
force correction in the administra.

have suffered in this state for lack of

sufficient funds to put our roads into

more than ever the necessity of all

Evidently the national conservation
congress did not prove as great a
success as anticipated and many are
of opinion that the benefits which will
ensue therefrom will be of little sig.
nifcance. For one thing politics was
infused into the sessions, which re-
suited in disgraceful factional fights.
This was largely due to the Pinchot
contingent which was evidently i'm.
