A RAILWAY WBECK
Frightful Accident to an
Eicarsion Train.
FIFTY TO A HU5DRED KILLED.
A Lare Somber WoanlJ--Seenw of
Horror that Btgr?ar Description
KeHef Trains Sent Out.
Chicago, Aug. 11. Dispatches from
Peoria say that an excursion train of fif
teen ears en route to Niagara Falls on the
. Ontario and Western Railway went
through a bridge at Chatsworth daring
the night and orer 100 people were killed
and injured.' A relief train of twenty
foor cars has gone to the scene of the
disaster, from Peoria.
A dispatch from Chats worth says the
train left Blootnington last night for Ni
agara Falls, on the Illinois Central, the
intention being to go by that road as far
' as Chatsworth, and from there by way of
Toledo, Peoria, anl Warsaw. The change
was made at Chatsworth, Livingston
county. Hoon afterward, as the train
neared Piper City, a small town in Ford
county, the bridge crowring the Vermill
ion river gave way, plnnginc the engine
and several cars down the steep embank
ment into the stream. The cars caught
fire from the lamp, and a fearful panic
ensued. On investigation, it was. tonnd
that nearly 100 excnrsipniuts were killed.
CACHED BY A COLLISION.
The conductor of a Chicago and Alton
passenger train, which has just arrived
in Chicago from Eloomington, where the
Toledo, Peoria, and Warsaw, and Chica
go and Alton railways connect, learned
from one of the conductors of the first
named road that the accident occurred
near Ilper City, a small station eat of
Chatsworth ; ttie excursion train while
oa the bridge near Pi;ie City came in
collision with another, train going in an
opposite direction. The cars of the ex
cursion train were piled Bp on each other
in frightful confusion, and from the
shock of the collision the bridge gave
way, and several cars were precipitated
into the stream. The conductor says the
killed and injured number more than
150. The accident occurred some time
between midnight and 4 a. m. A relief
train with physicians was sent from Peo
ria this morning.
ANOTHKR ACCOUNT.
Chatuworth, 111., Ang. 11. The Ni
agara Falls excursion train on the P. & W.
railway, connisting of two engines, sev
enteen coaches and sleepers crowded
with passengers from Peoria and points
along the lines, was wrecked two and a
half miles east of Chatsworth by running
into a burning culvert. The engines were
completely wrecked, together with ten
coaches and a baggage car. Engineer
IfcClintock was instantly killed. The
two firemen and the other engineer es
caped with serious injuries. The ten
cars were piled on top of the two engines,
being telescoped and piled across and on
top of each other. It is miraculous how
anyone escaped, as the coaches and en
gines do not occupy two car-lengths of
the track. In one coach not a person
eecaped. In another, only a lady. Sev
enty dead bodies have been taken out uji
to this time, and 100 wounded are now in
Chatsworth town hall, school house, de
pot, etc. At llper City there are a large
number of injured over fifty. The dead
are estimated at over 100. The cars
caught fire, but were put out by train
men and passengers. A heavy rain set
in about two hours after the wreck, be
fore the wounded could te taken away,
continuing two hours. The people are
doing all they can for the wounded.
Chatsworth, 111., Aug. 12. Sensa
tional features were developed this morn
ing as to the cause of the Chatsworth
wreck. Rumors were afloat last night
that it was due to robbers, alio fired the
bridge, but little credence were given
them. This morning new facts apjor
ently showing the c atastrophe to be the
work of an organized band, have come to
light, and the company find them worthy
of serious investigation. Superintendent
Armstrong said to an associated re re
porter that the more he investigated the
more it appeared to. him that the l ii.!
had been set on fire. lie had oicrvid
many thieves at work and had M(.,.il
them while despoiling the wreck of
property : and many instances of robbing
of the dead were being brought to ids at
tention. The excursion had been ex-
tetwvely advertised, and the time it
would pass over the bridge was known.
CUisens say a gang of suspicious
fellows have been loitering around Chats
worth for some dajs. Many of these
were found early at the wreck, tying
more attention to relieving the bodies of
valuables than to caring for them. The
train men and passengers had frequent
contentions with the vandals. In one
instance Superintendent Armstrongfound
a well known thief in the depot room
where the property taken from the wreck
was stored.
. While the people of the town have
done all in their power for the sufferers,
there is a horde of tramps and thieves in
the vicinity who do nothing but carry off
anything they can lay their hands on.
StCKCXIXU BCEXES.
The horrors of the Chatsworth w reck
seem deepening this morning instead of
lessening. Add to the pitiable spectacle
of the dead and the miseries f the"
dying, a stench sickening, and foul was
wooing from all the numerous place
, where the corpses were. No picture of
the horrible occurrence immediately su
ceeding the accident could equal in
revolting details the scene at the depot
Jiere to-day. The west end of the struc
ture U a coal bouse and lumber room,
where promiscuously outstretched on the
goor in the coal and rubbish are seven
unidentified bodies. Blood stained
bedraggled sheets and blankets are
thrown loosely over each, but affrd little
protection from the swarms of fiiea con
t.Tsoaliy hovering over them. The awful
eonaing from tin bodies kept the
room clear of alt bat the hardiest of the
rA lingering curious or anxious crowd.
T"1" women, and the
t l ot their faces was one never to be
i jrfottem - -
-it 7 o'clock Master Mechanic Warren,
with a wrecking train and a large force of
men, was at work, confident the back
would be clear by noon, and certain that
all the bodies bad been removed from
the wreck. President Leonard, Sup't
Armstrong, and other officials, were seen
this mornug. They have given devoted
attention to the relief of the injured and
the care of the dead. Both show signs
of the terrible shock which the accident
has been to them.
Mr. Leonard said : "So far aa the road
officials could estimate, there were about
80 killed and 100 seriously wounded.
There are many who were slightly in
jured of whom no record has been ob
tained." Leonard said, as near aa cook!
be ascertained the train was making
about thirty miles an hoar at the time of
the accident, not an excessive rate of
speed, as the track was in good condi
tion. The bridge, an ordinary 15-foot
wooden structure, was all right at 5 in
the afternoon when a train passed over
it, and half an boor later the section
men inspected it. It was then all right.
MORE EVIDENCE.
The Coroner's Inqaeat Brings Out Iatrrest
Ing Testimony.
Chatsworth, Aug. 12. At the morn
ing session of the coroner's jury some
decidedly significant testimony was giv
en. Timothy Cough lan, section fore
man, testified that be had four men
helping him on his six and a half miles.
He received orders Wednesday to go
over his section and that the bridges
and track were all right. Cough lan went
to the east end of the section and burned
the grass along the track for half a mile.
I le burned a piece a little over half a
mile from the wreck, and put the fire out.
lie examined the bridge about 5 o'clock
and found no smoke about it, and it was
otherwise all right. About three weeks
ago the grass under the bridge had been
cut away for ten feet from the bridge
timbers, and he had no idea 'how the
bridge could have caught fire. Christo
pher Ennis, roadmaster for the line, said
he went over the road from Fairbury to
(iilman. He went over the fatal bridge
just before 1 o'clock p.m.; be was on
the rear end of the car, and saw that the
bridge was all right. Ennis said : "My
opinion is that the bridge was set on fire
by some one. About three years ago
two attempts were made to ditch the
10 o'clock passenger train at that bridge,
and we kept a watchman there for six
weeks. Obstructions were piled on the
track. It is a very lonesome place, and
far from any house. '
Chicaoo, Aug. 13. A special from
Chatsworth to-day to the Chicago News,
says: Although up to the present, the
dead, including a body recovered from
the wreck last night, number not more
than seventy-five, there is reasonable
room for the belief that there have been
other deaths, perhaps half a dozen, re
sulting from the tragedy, which cannot
be definitely reported, owing to the con
fusion and lack of system when the
bodies were being taken away. Neither
can a full list be presented to the public,
for scores, whose injuries were light
enough to permit it, took trains at Chats
worth or Piper City at the first opportu
nity and went home. The official list of
the wounded who have been taken care
of here and at Piper City does not at
present show any more than 100 victims,
but there is no doubt whatever many
more than that were injured. The cor
oner's inquest to-day adjourned till
Tuesday afternoon after one witness had
been examined. He was W. O. Messier,
a grain dealer at Chatsworth. The only
thing notable about his evidence was the
statement that although he was one of
the first at work and remained there
until the arrival of the first relief train,
he saw no interference by any body with
the valaables of the victims.
-JIOTING SHAKKSPBABH.
Admiral Luc Kwltn a Passage. I'pon
His Krceat Rebake,
Halifax, Aug. 11. An apparently well
founded rumor is current that Admiral
Luce has requested to be relieved of the
North Atlantic t-tat ion, and that Commo
dore I'-enham, at present in charge of
the third lighthouse district, will relieve
him. Admiral Luce and (apt. Scott met
by accident in Consul General Phelan's
otlice yesterday, and the commander of
the fisheries rotection service extended
cyiTipathy to the admiral for the rebuke
he hail received from the United States
navy department. Luce received the
condolence in the spirit in which it was
tendered, and the trio had half an hour's
pleasant conversation on the general sit
uation. The meeting was unintentional,
as Luce is not holding any more formal
conferences with the fisheries authorities.
Lnce vm asked if he was surprised to
find Secretary Whitney's din patch in the
press, and be replied that he was never
more astounded in his life. On being
asked what he thought of his treatment,
he expressed a decision not to speak
about it, dismissing the subject by re
peating the Shakespearean remaik:
"Behold the great image of authority a
dog's obeyed in office."

New York, Aug. 12. The condition of
Jacob Sharp this morning was worse
than at any time since his incarceration
in the Ludlow street jail. When he
awoke to-day he was unable to move and
lay on the bed like one in a trance. His
moaning could lie heard all through the
vast prison.
THE PITTSBIRO FIRE.
Originated from a Smoker's Car!!
Low a Millioa IIUr.
I'ittmh ru, Aug. 1.1. The big fire of
last night was entirely under control at
3: 30 this morning, but at 10 clock the
engines are still playing on the ruins.
Shortly after Italf 2 the flames got a
fresh start in the Masonic temple, and
for a time the entire block was again in
danger, but by almost superhuman efforts
the firemen kept the flames within the
bounds of the burnt district. The build
ings entirely ltnveJ were the Masonic
temple, the Hamilton Mock. Campbell A
lack's carpet wantion and a number of
tenement hone on Virginia alley. The
opter floor of .S-hmed Jt Friday's mag
nificent nine-tory m t'i'e were gutted;
and tiie balance of tiie building is waU-r-soaked.
The Dispatch and Penny Prew
buildings are badly damaged by water.
Nothing definite about the loss is yet
known, bat it is believed that last night's
estimate of $1,000,000 is not exaggera
ted. The latest investigation shows that the
fire originated in the carpet store of II.
Hohxman, located in the cellar of the
Masonic temple and underneath the dry
goods store of Campbell & Dick. It is
said a small party of gentlemen were sit
ting in the upholstring department of
Hoitzman's establishment, when one of
the number lighted a cigar and thought
lessly threw the match into a waste pa
per basket. The contents of the basket
were of an inflammable character, and
in a few seconds the entire room was in a
blaze. Efforts were made to extinguish
Hie flames, bat the light materials burned
so rapidly that the fire was soon beyond
control. ,
THE PHOENIX.

Albany, N. Y., Aog. 13. Superinten
dent of Insurance Maxwell reports that
the examination of the condition and
business of the Phoenix Insurance com
pany, of Brooklyn, on which his examin
ers have been engaged for over five
months, shows that the company's capi
ta) of $1,000,000 was on December 31st
last impaired $97,959 and Jane 30th it
was impaired $436,562. In consequence
Superintendent Maxwell has directed the
officers of the company to make a requi
sition on the stockholders to pay in the
amount of the deficiency or to call the
board of directors together to take im
mediate steps for a redaction of the capi
tal to $500,000. It is understood the com
pany will at once reduce its capital to the
amount stated.

A Cans; of Tooths Likely to Suffer for
Ttaer Crimes.
Drraorr, Aug. 13. A gang of roughs
and pickpockets, who terrorized the pas
sengers on the steamer Alaska on the way
from Put-in bay last Wednesday night,
will not escape so easily as they might if
the same crimes had been committed on
shore. Only two questions stand between
these men and capital punishment. One
is whether they can be convicted of rob
bery, and the other is, whether the term
"high seas" will apply to these inland
waters, which do not directly communi
cate with the ocean. Asst. U. S. Attor
ney Wilkins thinks it does, and proceeds
under that interpretation of the law
against at least six of the gang.
AFTER BIG GAME.
A Possibility That tbo Paclfle Railroads
People Will be Prosecuted.
New York. Aug. 13. A Washington
special to the World says : A statement
in detail of the affairs of the Pacific rail
roads is being prepared by Major Red
dington with a view to the prosecution of
these companies and the recovery of
$75,000,000, out of which they are said to
have swindled the government. The in
dications are that the administration will
push the prosecution.
"HOT 5DFF'ER YEK?"
"Dy't lady, Roderick," quoth Sir Ru
pert, wiping a bucket of sweat from his
pale brow with his mantle, "but this is
most unusually weather." "Thou art
right, Sir Rupert; yet, beshrew me but I
could stand it an' it were not for the foul
swine herds who eternally accost me
asking if it is not hot enough for me. A
Molison rest upon them." "Odds death,
thou art right, Roderick. And thy
speech remindest me that erstwhile a
bonneted knight asked me the same
question and I cove him to the jaws with
my good sword." "By mehailidom! I
myself have slain four gawks for the
same offense since the streak of dawn."
Owce upon a mid-day broiling, while
I labored, roasting, beiling, writing up
some rot to publish, as I'd often done
before; while I sat there, steaming,
fretting, all except- the heat forgetting,
with my comrades round me sweating,
till they dampened all the floor; sudden
ly a stranger entered, one on whom our
gazes centered, for his face was so a pall
ing as to freeze a mortal's gore; chunks
of ice were strung like manna, on the
dark folds of his banner ; "Pilgrim from
some far Savannah," said I, as he
closed the door, "tell me, prince of
ghastly legions, wanderer in these torrid
regions, is this hot enottjrh to suit yon?"
Quoth the stranger: "Never more."
Startled at the stillness broken, by reply
so strangely spoken, "Spectre," said I,
"you are likely wandered from some
Arctic shore, where the Hind, keen as
an arrow, froze so bard your blood
and marrow, that this heat can
scarcely harrow, boil or bubble op your
gore ; don't you feel a sense of roasting,
baking, frying, cooking, toasting; don't
your blood feel like a cauldron ?" Quoth
the stranger, "Nevermore." Be that
word your sign of going, fiend," 1 cried,
the inkstand throwing, "get a move on
you and wander to your frozen native
shore; go and seek the regions polar,
where there is no brightness solar, where
you whet each hungry molar, with some
frozen seal galore ; take your traps and
take your banner, take your scowl and
ugly manner, leave ns to our heat and
anguish " Said the stranger, "Never
more." Silent as an autumn morning,
all onr prayers, entreaties scorning,
straight he wheeled a silver-mounted
sofa near the office door; and his eyes
had all the seeming, of a weather prophet
dreaming, and the sunlight o'er him
streaming, failed to melt the ice he wore.
And when people, tanned like leather,
came in asking "Is this weather plenty
hot enough to suit you," said the spectre,
"Nevermore." Still the stranger, never
flitting, in the Journal den is sitting, a
thermometer before him and an ice chest
on the floor ; and when some perspiring
hero, glancing at this sombre Nero, sees
mercury at zero, flops he with expiring
roar; while the people still are baking,
and I lie snn a record making, still he sits
with ice apon him, chanting softlv,

Portland, Or., Aug. II. Dr. A. J.
Giesy to-day inquired into the mental
condition of Pat O'Brien, arrested on the
street last night, who has been a resident
of this city four days only. At the exam
ination the fact was developed that the
patient had been an inmate of the Wash
ington territory asylum. He is about 35
years of age, a laborer by occupation and
a native of Ireland. He has the peculiar
notion that times are hard and that the
moonlight affects his mind. His skull
had been fractured at some time, and
now he imagines that it has been ecwed
together.

DAMMING CUAKUES.
The San Franelaeo Chronicle Still After
Beerher.
San Francisco, Aug. 12. The Chroni
cle this morning announces in a long ar
ticle that one of its representatives has
spent several weeks at Port Townsend,
Victoria and other placeson Puget sound,
investigating the charges against Port
Townsend officials, of the high-handed
smuggling exposed in papers left by the
late Abner Blake. It says that it will be
able, during a series of articles which are
in preparation, to show that adaptability
to crime, and willingness to become a
tool for the securing of plunder, are
gauges of fitness for office under the pres
ent collector of the Puget sound district,
and If. F. Beecher; the new appointees
buy their places unblushingly,nd are at
once initiated by a sort of easy Ollendorf
system into the science of perjury and
petty speculation; that vouchers are
signed in blank by wholesale, and that
the figures eventually appearing upon
their faces have no relation w hatever to
amounts actually and originally paid on
them, and that In some cases they pre
tend to represent large sums, where no
value whatever has passed ; that officials
traveling on passes, or apon government
conveyances, have charged full fares ap
on regular trains and boats with meals
and sleeping accommodations, have
sworn to the troth of their charges, and
readily obtained Beecher's sworn certifi
cate of the accuracy of the vouchers, and
the argent necessity of the expenditures.
It will be shown that a gang has plun
dered the government with one hand and
the public with the other, and feeling so
sore of the protection of the administra
tion, that little care in some cases, ami
none at all in others, have been taken to
hide the earmarks of crime.
