Engineer Mallon aw aomething blark
on the track, which he presently made
out aa a locomotive. He aaye the head
light waa not lighted. IoaUntly he
threw on the air and reversed the engine
but ia another tcone, and while both
he and Fireman J a met Hume were at
their ponta, the engine came together.
The boi of the bagitage-car behind the
engine waa torn from it platform and
telrcoed over the tender, aa if It were
built there. The occupant of the car

were conducting an Ice-cream buaineaa,

moving pile of wreckage. Mr. Boll wa
thrown acroea the car and wyerely
bruited. John Laraen, who was on the
platform, wa burled against the hand
hold and received a severe gash in the
! month.
All through the train, pawners were
thrown from their eeata and frightened
into a panic, and for a time the scene
was one of tremendous excitement.
Fortuntely, however, none of the car
left the track, and oon a number of
quick-wilted people were hurrying for
ward tj help the Injured, while the rest
hudJted along the embankment on
which the train stood, and viewed the
wreck with sensations bordering on a
nervous chill.
Kngiueer Jennings and Fireman
Mslim.of the Northern Pacific train.
saw that it would be fatal to stay in
their cab, and jumped juBt before the
engines struck. A second later and the
cab was iplintered to kindling-wood, the
tender plunged in a slough west of the
track, and a cattle car, shivered to
piece, piled over the wreck of the en
gine, while the ill-fated beauts that occu
piei it went tumbling down the em
bankment, to be drowned in the slough
or killed by the wreckage that foil about
tlllMll.
The heads of the two engine came
squarely together, each flattened out and
"buckled." All about were piled mass
es of tangled timber from the shattered
hamrain and cattle cars, but the main
body of each train stood on the track un
harmed. Might Have Beon Much Worse.
The two engineers had seen the danger
in time to check most of their headway.
The excursion train, which was runniug
30 mile an hour had slackened to less
than 15, and the freight train wa nearly
at a standstill. To this circumstance the
passenger owe their lives, lor had the
train come together with ' just a nine
more momentum, tne passenger cars
would have rolled down the embank
ment, and on either side were sloughs
which the swollen Willamette had filled
to a depth of from eight to 20 feet.
Conductor Clough, of the freight train,
went immediately to Llnnton and tele
phoned for assistance to Portland. Ed
Lyons, manager of the Terminal Com
pany, soon had a special relief train
ready, and Ire. J. J. Panton, C. W.
Cornelius, H. B. Drake and D. II. Rand
were summoned to go to the scene of the
accident. The passenger were speedily
loaded on the relief train while the
! physician attended the Injured. Dr. J
B. Morris, of Lewiston, who was a pas-
aengnr on the regular Astoria train
which had fallowed the excursion, an
and wis hut half an hour behind whei
the accident occurred, wa on the scene
and had superintended the removal of
the inj'ired lo one of the cost-he, where
he had eased their suffering with mor
phine. The Portland physician at
tanded to their iiifurie, and they were
win transferred lo the relief train,
which, in the meantime, had been
boarded by a aw arm of excuisionist
and passenger on the regular train W
bir.d. When all were on board the
train was backed into Portland, and the
ifferer were sent to Good Samaritan
hospital.
Conductor Low.'l Mtmtinat.
Conductor 51. A.Lowe, wbowasin
charge of the excursion train, made the
following statement to an Oregonian
man who went to the scene of the disas
ter on th relief train.
"Engine 17 wa running extra on fol
lowing schedule, with right over North
ern Pacific freight No. 64, due at Llnnton
at 8 :W p.m. At 85 we atruck North

east of Llnnton. The engineer and con
ductor of the freight say that they read
the order to meet at Holbrook' itation,

at 6 o'clock, at which lime the Ameri

Engineer Mallon, of tne excursion en
gine, laid:
"I had just pulled out of Holbrook
tation, and wa running about 30 miles
an hour. Sudden) I law something
black on the track, which I at first look
to be a water tank, but a moment later
I aw hand lamps shining out at each
ide. Then In a minute I knew what it
was, and exclaimed to my fireman : 'My
God, it's a train on the mainline!' I
put on the air and reversed the engine,
but in another second the crash came."
Mallon got an ugly cut in the leg, and
wai quite faint from loss of blood, but
be will probably be all right in a lew

hi coolness and daring in standing at

certain death they owe their live, and
were loud in hi praise.

Northern Pacific engine. 834, which
pulled the freight train, ia one of the old
est men in the service of the company,
and considered as one of the best. In 16
years of service this is hi first accident.
Story of Mr. Koberta.
Mrs. C. 8. Roberts, mother-in-law of
Dirling, waa in the bsggage car when
the accident happened. Bell and
Roberta had made that their headquar
ters, and were sending out from it boy
selling ice cretin, etc.
"The first I knew, "said Mr. Roberta,
"the air brake were put on suddenly,
and we were all thrown off our feet.
Then the sraa'h-tip came. Mr. Bell,
who waa washing dishes in the front end
of the car, was covered up with timber,
and I did not see him again alive. I
beard Mr. Darling calling for help, but
could not reach him, and Miss Pitman,
who was sitting on a box across the car
from me, was also calling for assistance,
to one of the candy boys and I went to
her, and after half an hour' hard work,
we liberatod her. Mrs. Bell was thrown
across the car and badly bruised. It til
came so quickly that there are nooe of
us who really know much about it."
Mrs. Bell's condition was pitiable
when she teamed of her husband's
death, and added to much to the severity
of her injuries that the physicians were
unable to learn of their exact extent.
Her two email son accompanied her.
Tho Newt In Portland.
A crowd gathered at the depot to
meet the excursion, and when the
special train went out, the news of its
errand in some way got abroad. There
was a wild rush for places on the train,
and it was only by the exercise of great
tact and patience that Manager Lyons
was able to keep it clear. A great num
ber of anxious faces peered through the
bars on the depot when the relief train
finally rolled in, and many were the ex
clamationsof relief when relatives and
friend turned up unharmed.

General Nelson A. Mile at the Waldorf
Astoria last night. "I know nothing
concerning the story thattbe wsr depart
ment is (oppressing the new from Ma

Loxdok, June 19. The 8t. James'

plan of campaigo wbicb will be followed

los. and blow up tbe DeBeers diamond
mine. Simultaneously, it is added, tbe
railroad from Cape Town to Bulawace
will be destroyed by Boer sympathizers,
and agents in Cpe Colony will deetruy

Bloemfontein, to prevent British troops
from using it.
Finally, immediately after Khxberlev
