CAGO, 1'ec. 14.--The Illinois Central Raili vad son. ;«auy has filed with the gov* ernoA of i ue state of Illinois the statement of gross receipts for the sis months end­ ing Oct. SI, 1893, amounting to 16,481,090. This revenue is derived from traffic ovat the original lines of the Illinois Central railroad within the state of Illinois. The 7 per cent, payable to the state is 1450,176. The amount paid for the previous six months is |SO2.«90, making a total for the year 18»3 of $753,087. This is the largest anuual payment ever yet made by the Illinois Central Railroad company; it is more than double the amount paid in the year 1868, when it was $300,394. This statement shows clearly that the state of IUiuoiH has profited directly and largely by the increase of the 7 per cent, paid it by the Illinois Central railroad, owing to the tair having l>*»t»n held in Chicago^ Vaccination Not an Experiment.

Statistics are given showing that in Germany in 1890 there were but fifty-eight cases in the year; and, to answer the objection that vaccination is dangerous it is stated that out of 2,485,486 pennons vaccinated in Ger many in 1*4)0 there was not a single fatal case.

HURLED TO ETERNITY. MANY PEOPLE KILLED BY THE CCFP LAPSE OF A BRIDGE. « Caafht In the Tangle of Crashing Timbett and Bending Iron They Are Carried late tbe ley Water* of the Ohio and lhawiiS In tk* Wreckage. LOUISVILLE, Dec. 16 --Tho false work end that part of the mfddle span of the Louisville and Jefferaocville Bridge com- p.tpv in place, with all the workmen, hav* bees jjrecipitated 110 feet Into the watef below. There was but a moment's warn* ing, and those who escaped going down with the mass of iron and timber started for the piers after the first trembling thai Indicated tbe giving way ot the false work. The accident was a horrible one. and is tbe last of a long list of catastrophes that have marked the construction of this bridge. The foreman in beginning work noticed that during the night the "traveler." which had been put in place the night be* fore, had been worked loose by the wind. An order to draw it back into place was given, aud the men and engines started. £ Plity-one Men on tbe Bridge. The wind was high at the time and Si gentle sway ot the false work gradually forced the traveler off of the piles on which it was resting. When the end slipped the whole work trembled, and the men, realis­ ing their danger, started for the piers. Al luck would have it the central bent was the fir«t to give way and the men on this bent went down to be covered by tbe mass of iron and tin.ber of the other bents, which fell almost immediately carrying with them the other workmen who failed to reach the piers. The north bent, or the one attached to the Indiana pier, did not. fall for fifteen minutes after the other parts went down. As near as can be as­ certain eu there were fifty one uim» on iu« bridge when the alarm was given by th* engineer in charge of the work. * , M:sa? Bodies Covered with Wreekag#.? Of this number several succeeded ttt reaching the pier*. Of those who went down some were covered by a mass of timber from beneath which it will be days before their bodies are recovered. The first crash when the center bent gave way was at 10:&» aud it was then that the great number of fatalities occurred. A few minutes latter a bent on which there was but a little of the bridge proper gave way on the Indiana side. In this it lis believed but one unknown man was killed. He was caught by a rope and dragged be­ neath the water. The crash attracted the attention of those on tbe shore and many turned away their eyes as* they saw the men struggling in midair in their mad efforts to climb dut of danger. | Scene Following the Great Crash. _ »j When the mass of material struck the water all were concealed for an instant by the spray that was thrown high into the » air. As the water subsided, here and there could lie seen men struggling dee* perately to climb upon the timbers that thrust their ends above the water. A few succeeded iu'clinging to the pieces in safe­ ty and were quickly rescued by boats that put out from the shores. Others"struggled desperately aud were carried off by the current to sink almost as re»cue was at hand. A few minutes after the accident the news was sent to all parts of the city. Near the bridge live the wives and children of many of the work­ men. These were soon on the river ;; hank. Many were wild with grief and rushed frantically about wringing their hands and tearing their hair. Half au hour after the accident there were at least 8.000 people on the bank and as the news spread they still poured in a steady stream • toward the place ot the accident.
