IN A CARELESS NEGLECT OF OROERS BY AN ENGINEER this time crouches affrighted like a hunted animal in a prison cell--ted to the greatest railroad holocaust in the history of Michigan, and twenty-aix human lives have paid the penalty of the moment's Two trains, both laden with met in a direct head-on col­ on the Grand Trunk railroad at 8:45 *. m. in the suburbs of this city, and that the number of dead and injured was not four fold greater is due to the for* tunate fact that the collision occurred in the suburbs of a city instead of in the open country where toth trains would have been running at fujl speed. As it is, twenty-six charred, disfigured and un­ recognizable bodies lie in the morgue, and twenty-seven maimed and bleeding vic­ tims are groaning in agony in the charity Seath-Roll Likely To Be Irfirger. bow many of these wounded may be in the death list none can tell, for the in­ juries in many cases are internal and quite unfathomable to the only superficial medical examination that is possible now. All that surgical science can do is being done, and the officials of the Chicago and Grand Trunk railway are doing all that to possible to alleviate the condition of the •offering and care lor the needs of the vic­ tims of the dreadful disaster. The two trains which met face to regular trains, althougl •Blderably behind time. One was a Ray­ mond and Whitcomb special train return­ ing from the World's fair and bound for New York and Boston, and the other was the regular Pacific express westbound train. ' The Raymond and Whitcomb was run­ ning as an extra section of a regular train and was therefore a "regular" in the phraseology of the railroad men. The en­ gineer of the latter train had positive or­ ders to side-track for the express at a sid­ ing a mile east of this city. He ignored these orders and 600 feet beyond this Bid­ ing he met the eastbound train full on. Both trains were wrecked and half the train of the Pacific express was demol­ ished and burned. The Raymond and Whitcomb train, being composed almost entirely of heavy sleepers, escaped serious injury. The engineers and firemen of both trains jumped in time to save their lives. It was on the Pacific express that the hor­ rors took place. The day coaches in the front part of this train were telescoped and burned, and "of the twenty-six human corpses recovered conjectures only can be made as to the Identity of six. Twenty remain entirely unidentified. Those identified by letters or articles in their clothing or by other means are as follows: C. C. Van Dusen, of Sproutbrook, N. Y., died at the hopital; MI's. C. C. Van Dusen, of Sproutbrook, N. Y., burned to death after the wreck and before she could be extricated; W. W. Henry, of Woonsocket, R. I., burned to crisp; Mrs. F. R. McKenzie, of Middletown, Conn., burned to crisp; T. A. McGarvey, of Ontario, Canada, mangled and burned to death; J. W. Beardsiey, of Watkins, N. ' Y., burned and mangled. The coroner has numbered each of the bodies now in the morgue consecutively and noted the articles that have been found on each body that might lead to identification. Feople Taken to the Hospital. ; jThe injured were conveyed to the Nicholas Memorial hospital in this city. The following is the complete list: W. A. Ryerse, Port Dover, Ont., leg and shoulder hurt; Mrs. Henry Bushnell, Brockport, Monroe county, N. Y., badly bruised about body; F. H. Smith, Fort Plain, N.

A list of the injured who have gone to their homes is: John C. Stewart, wife and daughters, of Dalton, Ills.; T. J. Mon­ roe and George Shackleton, of Auburn, N. Y.; J. S. Archbell, of Evanstou, Ills.; W. A. Ryerse, of Port Dover, Ont., and C. F. Adams, of Buffalo, N. Y. Archbell and William L. Wilson, both of Evanston, Ills., were supposed to be dead and so reported, but both are alive and only slightly wounded. They are probably the only passengers in that oar who escaped. Another victim has been found--W. Williams, of Ontario, Canada. He was taken to a private house badly in­ jured in the back. Albert H. Bradley, of Toronto, Ont., an­ other of the injured, is dead. He was cashier in the Bank of Commerce in that city and his demise swells the number of deaths to twenty-eight. All the other in­ jured are doing well except Mrs. Henry Vanee, who will probably die. Thqre are now fourteen unidentified bodies, but it is known that Mrs. A. K. Warner, of Brock­ port, N. Y , and Mrs. J. Wood, of Odessa, N. Y., are among the number. The Brotherhood of Locomotive Engi­ neers hustled until they found a bonds­ man for Wooley, and he has been released. Public sentiment is very strong against him and railway men attribute the horror to his inexplicable conductor. Conductor John Burke, of the wrecked train, puts the entire blame on Wooley. Burke had a close call for his own life and is severely hurt. He is very positive the fault lays with Wooley. at Battle Creek. BATTLE CREEK, Mich., Oct. 24.--Seven more bodies have been identified of the victims of the Grand Trunk wreck. They are those of Mr. and Mrs. Charles Saxe, of New York city; Mr. and Mrs. Oliver Do- land, Tilsonburg, Ont.; J. J. Brown, of Strathroy, Ont.; Marcus Reis, of Kansas City, and J. M. Sloes, of Chicago. The in­ quest has begun. The only testimony of interest was that of Seth Cornell, train dispatcher, who swore he gave Conductor Scott his orders to stop at the siding and wait for No 9. Scott signed the orders and Wooley read them. TWENTY-THREE WERE HURT. Bom* Seriously, bat They Will All Proba­ bly Get Well. PITTSBURG, Oct. 24.--The collision be­ tween the Columbian express and the east- bound passenger train on the Fort Wayne at Monroeville, Ind., was attended with worse results than at first reported. In­ stead of but six injured there were twen­ ty-three hurt. They will all get well, it is thought, though some of them are very seriously injured. The list of the in­ jured is as follows: Brakeman Frederick Hunt, badly crushed--may not re­ cover; Baggagemaster Stephens, seri­ ously crushed; Fireman Dailey, hurt in­ ternally; Engineer K. Cowan, scalded badly; Adam Long, left leg bruised; Ed­ ward Bender, Canton, O., back severely injured; Maggie Delp, Canton, O., pain­ fully cut, having been thrown through a window; Nora Lohler, Alliance, O., badly bruised; W.

The injured passengers were attended to at Monroeville by physicians, and all were able to continue their journey later. £ A ^ EIGHT INJURED ALTOGETHER* Facts Regarding the Disaster oa the Illi­ nois Central. CHICAGO, Oct. 21.--There was no one killed in the wreck at Otto Junction on the Illinois Central. Eight were wounded, and all the passenger cars were thrown off the track and on their sides. The cars were crowded with passengers and it is a miracle the casualty roll is not both long and terrible. The injured were brought to this city and five taken to St. Luke's hospital. Only two were severely hurt and they, the physician's say, have about an even chance. Following is the list of hnrt, the first two being the serious cases: J. D. Davis, Fiippen, Ga., head cut, legs bruised and back injured; L, B. Saffer, Fisher, Ills., back hurt and internal injuries; Mss. R. B. Stayton, Wichita Falls, Tex., head bruised and left hip badly bruised; Mrs. T. F. Brown. Newton, Ills., left hip bruised and ankle cut; C. E. Little, Chi­ cago, scalp wounds, right hip bruised and leg crushed; J. W. Brown, baggageman, hip bruised and left ankle badly sprained; J. M.

She was often threatened with mob violence for her speeches in the interest of free­ dom. In 18f>5 she was marri€8 to Henry B. Blackweli, a hardware merchant of Cin­ cinnati. She regarded the loss of a wife's* name at marriage as a symbol of the loss of her individuality. Eminent lawyers told her there was no law requiring a wife to take her husband's name; it was only a custom. Accordingly she decided, with her husband's full approval, to keep her own name. Mr. Blackweli often appeared on the lecture platforin with his wife. He subordinated his own public career to his wife's. v PROBABLY THE RIVERSIDE. XMseovery of a Sunken Vessel In the Lake Near Cleveland. CLEVELAND, Oct. 23.--A large vessel, evi­ dently a steamer, ban gone to the bottom of Lake Erie. Captain Joseph Single of the fishing tug R. T. Roy made the startling discovery. He was running out to lift his nets when he saw the Bpars of a sunken vessel protruding from the water. There were three single stick spars, with white painted tops, each ornamented with gilt spheres. About thirty-five feet were exposed. The vessel is twenty-three miles from this port. J. M. Jones of the firm of J. M. Jones & Bro., vessel agents, said that the found­ ered boat was undoubtedly his schooner, the Riverside. She has been missing since the big storm of the 13th ai^ no tidings have bean gleaned from her since tuat time. The Riverside was commanded by Captain David G. Farrington of Detroit, and his wife was cook on the boat. She carried live other persons, all of whom are undoubtedly lost. The only names that could be learned of the missing ones are Joseph Hargreaves, mate; his son John Hargreaves, and John Paige, both sea* men "Lucky" Baldwin Retire's. Saw FRANCISCO, Oct. 23.--"Lucky" Bald­ win has publicly announced that he - will retire from the turf and has notified Dow Williams, his trainer, to seek another en­ gagement. Baldwin says he will hereafter be known to the turf only ag a breeder. Xake Steamer Breaks the Record. ST. PAUL, Oct. 23.--The new steel ship Centurion, launched in August, has ar­ rived at Duluth and broken the great lakes record for speed. She made the run from Buffalo in less than Bixty-eight hours, or 14.7 miles per hour. Thieves Rob a Parsonage. ST. JOSEPH, Mo., Oct. 24.--The parsonage of St. Patrick's cathedral was entered by thieves during the absence of Rev.

Claret was [his beverage, which he -drank out of a tumbler, keep­ ing the bottle before him. He conversed the whole of rtinwwr time, confining his conversation principally to the admiral, with whom he talied dver the whole of the Russian campaign and attributed the failure of it in the first instance to the burning of Moscow, in the next to the frost setting in much sooner than was expected. He said he meant only to have refreshed his troops for four or five days, and then to have poshed on for St. Petersburg, but find­ ing all his plans frustrated by the burn­ ing of Moscow, and his army likely to- perish, he hurried back to Paris, setting out with a chosen bodyguard, one-half of which were frozen to death the first night. He said nothing could be more horri­ ble than the retreat from Moscow, and indeed the whole of the Russian cam­ paign; that for several days together it appeared to him as if he were marching through a sea of fire, owing to the con­ stant succession of villages in flames, which arose in every direction as far as the eye could reach. He said the bnrn- ing of these villages as well as of Mos­ cow was attributed to his troops, but that it was invariably done by the na­ tives. After dinner he #id not drink wine, but he took a glass of noyau after his coffee, previous to rising from the table. After dinner he walked the deck, con­ versing principally with the admiral, to whom he said, during this conver­ sation, that previous to his going to Elba he had made preparations for hav­ ing a navy of a hundred sail of the line; that he had established a conscription for the navy, and that the Toulon fleet was entirely manned and brought for­ ward by people of this description; that he had ordered them x>ositively to get under way and maneuver every day the • weather would permit, and to occasion­ ally exchange long shots with our ships; that this had been remonstrated against by those about him, and it had cost Mm much money to repair the accidents which occurred from the want of mari­ time knowledge, such as ships getting foul of each other, splitting their sails, springing their masts, etc., but he found this tended to improve the crews, and he determined to persevere in his plan. After walking for some time he pro­ posed a round game at cards, in compli­ ance with which the admiral, Sir George Bingham", Captain Ross and myself as­ sembled with General Bonaparte and his followers in the after cabin, where we played at ving-tun (sic), which was the game chosen by the ex-emperor, till nearly 11 o'clock, when we all retired to our beds.--Century. Animal Fertilizers. A dead animal of any kind, fish, fowl or beast, buried near the roots of a fruit or other tree, will cause a wonderful growth. The animal substance does not pass into the vegetable, but being a nat­ ural and a powerful generator of elec­ tricity increases the current that passes from the atmosphere to the earth, and thereby a larger quantity of sup­ port is drawn from the atmosphere. You can grow a good crop of potatoes on a brick pavement if moisture is retained and the potato vines are connected with moist earth by copper wires. Commercial fertilizers do not enrich the soil--do not add anything to it that is of value. The object sought in these fertilizers is to put the soil into a condi­ tion that will enable it to conduct elec­ tricity. The electrical current passes into the vegetable through its leaves, carrying with it the gross matter that goes to build up the vegetable cells, and after that matter is deposited in the veg­ etable the electric current must have a conductor through which to pass to the earth. Worn out soils are poor conductors, and the acids used in the commercial fer­ tilizers, which are little more than acids and sand, pulverize the dead soil and en­ liven it for a short time.--Foster's Weath­ er Bureau. Governor Turney's Detail. Before Tennessee had seceded Peter Turney had organized a brigade and gone to the front. Once, while in win­ ter quarters with a Georgia brigade, a religious revival broke out among the soldiers. After a few days Turney asked how things were progressing and was informed that 12 Georgians had been converted. "And how many Tennesseeans?" in­ quired the governor. "Not one," was the reply. "What, 12 Georgians and not a Ten- nesseean? Never shall it be said, if I am able to prevent it, that Georgia has excelled Tennessee.
