A TKBBIBLE DIIASTKB.

KnrorauBY, Ind., $|pt S3.—Every bouse In the town Is elfner a morgue or a hospital. Two trains came together on the Wabash siding just after daybreak Friday. The freight train, with twenty-two loaded cars, stood on the aide track and was headed east For more than an hour it had waited for the second section of the No. 55 passenger train, west bound. All the passenger trains hare been going in aeotions because of the heavy world's fair traffic. After the first section went by at 4:40 o'clock all the trainmen knew that another section was coming Herbert Thompson was head brakeman. It was his work to look after the east switch. No man ean tell why Thompson went and turned the switch after the first train had passed. It was the act of a crazy man—so say the railroad men. But he did It. Thompson cannot tell, for no one has seen him since the dead and dying were thrown high iu the air with the shattered fragmenta Thompson ran away. Some one §aw him an hour later sitting on the iron bridge in the deep timber Country to the east. He had his head between his hands and was looking down into the water. The second section came at 6:40. The switch was open, but the signals did not say so. The trains met In one instant of crash and explosion two engines and three coaches were heaped in a mountain of splinters. There followed all the scenes of blood and suffering known to railroad wrecks. ..........

Injured internally and head cut Miss Annie Hill, Summersworth, N. H., slight wound MISB N. & Kelly, Boston, severe scalp wound.

Thompeoa Turned the Switch.

The trtta which carried the passengers to thsli death was known as the second section of No. 55. When the first section went by Kingsbury at 4:40 a. m. the freight train had been waiting fifteen minutes. The engine in the first section gave a long whistle and two short ones, which meant that the signals, were set for another train following. Every trainman is supposed to know these signals. Engineer John Whitman on the cab of freight engine No. 83 heard them and settled back on his seat for a little doze. Trainmaster Timewell, who was riding in the first section, heard the whistles and so did the men of the freight crew. Thompson must have heard them or else he lost his senses, for he went ahead unnoticed by the others and turned the switch. Just at that moment the second section of the express came along at a high rate of spe«d. Before the brakeman had time to throw back the switch the heavy engine of the passenger train had dashed into the siding. A moment later the trains met with terrific force.

Engine Boiler Blew lip.

To add to the horrors of the terrible collision the boiler blew up, scattering human bodies and car wreckage in all directions. The Toronto and Montreal express does not stop at this station. The freight train lay here on a side track to allow the express to pass. Ten minutes later the accident had occurred and the most frightful scenes were transpiring. The passenger engine struck the freight locomotive at full speed and the two machines lay jammed together, their boilers meeting end to end. The force of the collision drove the freight engine back against the boxcars, completely demolishing the first three. The passenger engine was partially stopped by the collision and the baggage car, smoker, day coach and one sleeper were telescoped. The rest were piled up on top of each other in a tangled mass of wood and iron, and the passengers, who were nearly all asleep, swoke'to meet an awful death, serious injuries, or witness the indescribable auffering of their less fortunate companions.

The boiler of the passenger engine exploded and hurled debris in every direction. A pair of trucks were torn apart and each half sent flying in opposite directions. One of the great pieces of iron

"rr CR AWFORDS VILLE, INDIANA, SATURDAY, SEPTEMBER 23, 1893.

was hurled several hundred yards away, where it crashed through a farmer's barn. Its mate was thrown clear across a 20-acre field on the south side of the traok. The steam escaped, scalding the Injured who were not able to crawl to a place of safety.

Awful Seaaa of Wreckage.

When the two trains came together the heavy freight train crushed the passenger by its tremendous weight The cars in front were filled with dressed beef. Two of these cars were demolished and the beef carcasses were thrown among the human bodies. The two engines telescoped so completely that they seemed like one shattered locomotive with twelve driving wheela The two forward day coaches plunged forward and broke all to pieces. The third day coach, by some strange Chanse, was swung sldewlse. The rear truck was thrown high into the air and alighted in a pasture M0 feet from the tracka This third car, lying across the rails at right angles, crushed in the front of the first sleeper, killing the two young women from Boston and Wring a half dozen passengers underrates of wood and broken glass. The two engines and the three cars were thus jamgaed together in hardly more than S cal^s length.

Out from this tangled mass of wreckage, through whloh clouds of steam were pouring, oame the injured, while here and there could be seen the arm, leg or head of some unfortunate out of whom all life had been crushed. The first assistance camd from those who escaped injury. Within a half-hour the awakened townspeople oame running to the aeene. By 0 o'clock special trains had arrived with surgeons from Ashley, Peru, Wolcottsvllle, North Liberty and Westville. The work of binding un wounds, recovering the dead and ftentifylng the bodies continued until late In (he afternoon.

Tralnmea KlUed.

Conductor Joseph

E.

Coulter, of De­

troit, was well known among railroad man. His body was found with those of Birke and MoKenna under the torn pieces of the smoking car. Afterward his coat was found lying on the hill, but a considerable sum of money which he was known to carry could not be found. Both engineers remained at their posts. John Oreen, the passenger engineer, evidently had no time either to jump or reverse his engine. The flying train simply leaped into the siding as quick "its lightning, and it was all over. Green must have been sitting at his window looking ahead. The body had been pitched forward and they found it crushed against the great drive wheels. The fireman was on the other side of the engine. Both bodieB were scalded and crushed. Death must have been instantaneous.

Explosion Prevented Fire.

The railroad men say that if it had not been for the boiler explosion the loss of life would have been larger. The escaping water and steam extinguished the fires, otherwise the wreck would have burned and the people who were penned under the debris for a half-hour or more would have burned to death.

SENATE PROCEEDINGS.

Senator Piatt's Role for Closure the Subject of Debate. WASHINGTON, Sept. US.—Inthe setfate during the morning hour Senator Allen (pop., Neb.) introduced a bill making the dollar (which may be coined of 412% grains of silver or 25 8-10 grains of gold) the unit of value. The bill also repeals the

Sherman

act, and provides that owners of silver bullion may deposit in the mint, and such silver, less 30 per cent (to be deducted for seignorage and oolned into silver dollars and put in the treasury), shall be coined into standard dollars for his benefit.

The resolution of Senator Piatt (rep., Conn.) for closure rule in the senate, was then taken up, and Senator Wolcott (rep., Col.) addressed the sennate. Although he said that he would vote against the resolution he declared that no faotious opposition would be made to it, and that a vote upon it could be reached much sooner than a vote upon the repeal bill could be. If the senate desired a vote' on the closure resolution it could have it without much debate. He would not interpose the slightest pbjection. If there was a failure to press it to a vote then criticism cm the senators opposing the repeal bill would have to cease. The debate on the repeal bill could be stifled by the closure rule, but it could not be stifled otherwise.

Senator Teller (rep., Col declared that he would resist by every method, obstructive and otherwise, the adoption of rule in the senate which would limit or restrict debate. The resolution then went oyer till Saturday, when Senator Turpie (dem., Ind.) is to speak upon it

WORK REVIEWED.

What Has Been Accomplished by the Pension Bureau. ....

COMMISSIONER LOCHREN REPORTS.

It Tells of Reform! Iniucumted During %hm Vrar-The HOIIH Contain 966,018 Names—Rutlinatea for the

Year 1895.

ABOUT PKNK1QNS.

WASHINGTON, Sept. 23.—Pension Commissioner Lochren lias submitted his annual report to the secretary of the interior. The number of pensioners on the rolls of the bureau is V00.012, a net increase of 89,044 for the year. During the year 24,715 claims for increase of pensions and 81,080 for additional pension under the act of June 27, 1890, were allowed. In the same time 115,221 claims for pension and for increase were rejeoted. Claims pending consideration July 7 numbered 711,150. The amount of money paid for pensions during the year was $156,740,407, and the balance at the close of the year was 18.437,871.

The Estimates.

Appropriations for the next fiscal year. Commissioner Lochren states, will be ample, and the estimates for the fiscal year 1895 amount to 11(12, 681,550, as follows: For pensions H81,n00,M0 For surgeons' fees 1,600,000 For salaries of pensiun agents. 72.000 Clerk hire at pension agcnclcs 600,000 Contingent cxpvuses SV.5T0

Total.. Ilta,931,570 Reforms Inaugurated, The commissioner enumerates the various reforms inaugurated—the abandonment of the completed files system and the modification of order 164 of October 15, 1800, as to disability pensions, etc. He says on this latter point: "It is perfectly clear that -under this order 104, In granting pensions under the act ot June 27, 1890, the act ltaelf was set aside and disregarded, with the result of granting pensions not authorized by any law."

The board of revision is now disposing of an average of about 1,000 cases per week of those suspended under the recent orders of the bureau. At this rate it is estimated that praotioally all of those heretofore suspended will be disposed ot by October 10. It la also estimated that at least 75 par cent of those suspended will be retained on the rolls, though not all of them at their old rates of pension.

Suspension of Order 104.

In regard to the temporary suspension of order 164 he says: "In eases where it was believed that a pension could not be sustained and another medical examination was thought necessary the payment of the pension was ordered to be suspended pending Investigation, according to the practice of the bureau from the beginning: and at tbe proper time the usual sixtyday aottce was given to tho pensioner, within whlob he could ask for a medical examination or supply further dvidence ot his right to his pension. This practice of tbe bureau, always followed, is tbe correct practice. It is not the withdrawal or taking away of a pension, but the temporary withholding of its payment where It appears to be unlawful, pending a proper InQulry. Upon your suggestion that even this temporary withholding might work hardship where, upon the race of the papers, It appear." that the pensioner is entitled to at least some less rating, the practice has been modified anu changed as to the cases under this act so far that suspensions of payment pending the sixty days are only ordored when on the face of the papers it appears prima facie that the pensioner Is not entitled to any pension. The sixty day notice-In suspending pensioners was not for tbe purpose of withdrawing a pension, but temporarily withholding It, where it appears to be unlawful, pending iuqulry. Special examiners are now Investigating wholesale frauds In New Mexico and Iowa."

Recommendations.

The commissioner recommends a codification of pension laws, with a few changes that promotions be made with regard to merit alone, and in utter disregard of influence and the repeal of the act of congress providing that no pension shall be paid to a non-resident who is not a citizen of the United States, except for actual disabilities incurred in the service. Commissioner I.ochreu concludes aa follows: "I rccognisa to the fullest extent that my sole duty is to execute and administer the laws as they are enacted, fairly and honestly interpreted."

The Bid Haytian Warship Alexandre Petion Sinks.

A CIU'ISER GOES DOWN.

NKW

OKU, Sept 23.—A report of the

sinking of the liaytian warship Alexandre Pet ion was recoived iu this citv Friday. All aboard, with one exception. were lost All told, eighty were drowned. Among the number were many prominent officials and dlplomates of the republic. The cause of the disaster is unknown. Late Friday it was stated that the Haytian minister in this city received a dispatch confirming the story. The lost vessel was doubtless of the mitrailleuse type of gunboats so popular with the Haytlans.

Where It Occurred.

The news of the catastrophe was brought to this city by the ex-minister to Ilayti, J. S. Dunham, who arrived on the steamer Prlnz Wilhelm I. from 1-ort-au-Prinee. The disaster to the Petion occurred on September 6, about 50 iriles south from Cape Tiberot. The cruiser had just teen put into condition. She loft Port-au-Prince September 4, bound for San Domingo. She had on board many distinguished passengers, among them being Gen. Molini, San Domingo's envoy to Hayti M. Cohen, the Haytian minister to Mexico, and other wellknown diplomatea.

Facte Will Never Be Known. The suddennesB and completeness of the disaster, only one sailor escaping, makes the affair most mysterious, and it is probable that the real cause of the wrecking of the ship will never be known. According to the testimony of the sole survivor there was absolutely no warning. Neither collision with another vessel, submerged coral reef nor storm can account for the occurrence.

Went Down In Fair Weather. The day was fair, the wind was nothing more than a gentle breeze and the passengers were enjoying them|glves in the cabin. Suddenly the vessel bfcgan to sink. The officer on the watch ordered the men to pass the word in the cabins and forecastle to reach the deck as quickly as possible and jump overboard. It was already too late.

Passengers' Panic-Stricken.

There was terrible confusion in the cabin as tne panic-stricken passengers struggled to reach the deck, blocking the passageway as they did so and preventing one another from escaping from what was destined to be their tomb. For only a moment the awful struggle lasted. In one minute and a half from the time she began to sink the vessel wai entirely under water. One sailor, as the ship sank under him, snatched a pair of oars from the lifeboat and threw himself into the water. He caught a plank aa It floated by and looked around, but not a man arose from the swirling waters which engulfed the warship.

Drifted for Thlrty-SU Hours. The sailor drifted for thirty-six hours on the plank with nothing to eat or drink, and when picked up he was almost exhausted. The place where he was picked up was about 50 miles southeast of Port Roment For a long time the castaway was unconscious after he was taken aboard and could not speak. Brandy was administered to him! and after a hard fight he rallied a little.

When he was able to speak he told a terrible story. He said he was one of the sailors of the Alexandre Petipn. When the warship was off the Tiberon, on September 6, a gale arose. The sailor said the ship went down head foremost in the waves, without the slightest warning, and that all on board but himself were drowned. He was brought to Port au Prince and put aboard another warship.
