The freight traffic over all the rail­ roads is simply immense this fall, and taxes the capacity of the Roads to the utmost. The large crop of cereals throughout the Northwest, anil espec­ ially on the lines to Dakota. Minnesota and elsewhere, is the great cause of the demand for cars. The Northwestern Road will have forty new engines by the first of January, and forty more soon after, and a corresponding increase" in freight and stock cars, to meet the increased demand over its various lines. Other Roads reaching westward are making increase of their facilities to meet the demands of the times.

The GenevaLjike express train, due here at 10 o'clock in the morning Was rim into at Cary, four and a half miles this side of Crystal Lake. Saturday, by the Janesville and Fond Du Lac* Pas­ senger Train. The accident was at­ tended by all the horrors possible, the cars being smashed and taking fire, but no one \\as killed outright,- and, al­ though one lady is now in a very criti­ cal coudtion, it i$,ti> be hoped no fatal result will ensue. The two trains mentioned are due in this city at the same hour, and on the way reach Crys­ tal Lake together at 8:45 o'clock.-- From that point they run on the same track, hut the Geneva train, making the better time, takes the lead, and Is supposed to make no stop. Notwith­ standing this, on Saturday morning, Frank Steward, enginverof the Geneva train, while crossing the bridge over the Fox River.jcouuneticed to "slow no" his train. This attracted the atten­ tion of Conductor Brooks, who, sur­ prised at such a proceeding, knowing the other train was .-thundering *along just in rear of them, ran and asked the engineer what had happened, Stewart said he had broken a spring. Brooks at once sent a brakeinaii with a red flag to the rear of the train and himself ran to the passe-iger coach, lie had just readied the door'when - the collision occurred, and scenes of horror ensued. The cow-catcher of the iyur train lift­ ed the hindmost passenger coach of the Geneva train almost on end, and then the coach sank down, demolishing the smokestack of the engine. The crowd­ ed cars ot^the Geneva train at ot^e took fire,and it seems miraculous that out of the twenty passengers no one was killed outright.
