Fort Wayne, Indiana.-Two people
were killed, two were reported miss
ing and 80 were injured at the west
ern limits OF this city in the second
wreck within a week on the Pennsyl-
vania railroads Chicago-New York
1S-hour train.
Pulled at top speed by double
header locomotives, the heavy train
ran into a temporary switch that was
too weak to stand the terrifice strain.
The rails of the switch were swept
aside, the engines of the flyer ca
reened crafty and sideswiped the en-
CINE OF a freight train on a sidetrack.
Engines and passenger coaches, a SEQ
end later, were piled on their sides.
In the panic of passengers which
followed the piling up of the fast
train, men fought women to escape.
and scores were trampled and beaten.
The police department, the fire de-
partment, and every ambulance in the
city were called to the scene of the
accident. At least fifty doctors were
on the scene within a half hour of
NNN ILL lbS IiulllO IdIlS lOSclL6T dIu
within a short time thousands of peo-
pie had collected about the wreck.
Two passenger engines, with the
freight engine, were piled up in a
mass of bent and twisted from. The
baggage ear, smoker, buffet and two
sleepers turned over in the ditch.
Most of the injured were seated in

dent occurred. The main track and
the track on which the freight train
was located We're torn up for a dis
lance of 200 yards.
The two engines of the fier were
torn from the trucks and thrown
down the embankment to the park,
while the engine of the freight reared
up in the air over the trucks of the
fier's engines. The all-steel cars of
the fiier were put to the first actual
wreck test they have ever undergone,
and proved to be all that has been
claimed for them by their designers.
Only the first two cars of the heavy
nine-car train were much smashed.
Passengers on the seven rear cars
escaped with only cuts and bruises,
whereas, it is declared by railroad
men, if the cars had been of the DID
fashioned wood construction the dam
age would have been frightful.
1t will take a day or more for the
wreck trains to clear away the debris.
as the cars are extremely heavy. The
wrecking crew from Fort Wayne ar
rived at the scene within a half hour
of the time it occurred, while the
wrecking trains from Crestline and
Chicago arrived later in the evening.
Thirty or more passengers, all badly
bruised and cut, are at the Anthony
hotel.
The body of Fred Zimmerman, who
died in Milwaukee, and which was
being brought here for burial, was
recovered from the baggage car. One
of the cars caught fire and was burn
ing by the time the fire department
arrived.

Total Production Great.

The condition of the crop at this
time indicates a yield, per acre, small
er than in any year since 1901, al.
though the indicated total production
has been exceeded in only five years
In the history of the country. 1t is
pointed out that the deterioration in
the corn crop was checked somewhat
by the rains during the latter part of
July. Experts incline to the opinion
that the crop may be further improved
by the generous rains of the past
week.
The weather during July caused a
fall in the condition of corn which in
dicates a loss of 1861 O0, 900 bushels
from the estimated total productions
OF the previous month.
While the crops in many instances
probably will be short in the yield per
acre and in the total production, they
will not be small, as shown by the fol-
lowing estimates of the yields of the
standard crops:
Corn, 2,62O,221, 900; winter wheat,
455,149,000 bushels; spring wheat, 2O9,.
$4,000 bushels; oats, S17, $780, 900 bush
els; barley, 139,352, 900 bushels; pota-
toes, 249,S $685. 900 bushels; tobacco, Co.,
5SS,OOO pounds, and hay, 40, 900
tons.
