PETER RANTS HOBSON'S VISIT.
view Man and Promises Some
Startling Disclosures.
At the request of Peter Crose, o' Linden, who was found guilty by a jury last week of criminal intimacy with a fourteen year old girl he had taken from the Orphans' Home, a REVIEW representative called upon him at the jail last Saturday. Peter enticed us down with the startling statement that be had something to say to UB that would fairly set tne town of Linden on tire, but we now firmly believe it was only a ruse of the wiley Peter's to have some one to rant to, some one who would lend a more appreciative ear than the plain, unvarnished walls surrounding his grated cell. What Peter told us was nothing more than was brought out in tho trial and the sensational '•scoop" for wh.eh.
had prfipared
ourselpes was not forthcoming. He gave us the history of his life from the time-he landed in this country,' which was a very ordinary o-e. indeed. When be came down to the history of the crime for which he was convicted he grew most tragic. In fact he waved his arms wildly, stamped his feet and the thundorous tones of his voice echoed and reechoed through the corridors. He wildly declared his inhoooneeJand said that if he was guilty of the henious Ci ime laid at his door that burning at the stake was too good for him, which was about the oniy statement he made that was tiuged with sanity. He referred to his victim in one bredtb as his "darling baby cl.ild" and in the next as "the biggest liar in the state." He spoke lovingly of his wife but fairly spilled his wrath on the heads of "the meddlesome neigh, bors as he called them, who poiosned the child's mind against him and got her to swear so falsely before her God." To hear Peter talk and watch his queer actions there is one conclusion to draw, and that is a most natural one—the fellow is as crazy as a Junebug. He is better fitted to fill a padded cell in an institution for the feeble minded than to go to the penitentiary. When we arose to go we „told Peter we would send him some exchanges down to help pass away the time but he 6aid, "never mind, MK. REVIEW, 1 can't read 'em, cause the Sheriff took my spectacles away from me 'cause he thought I'd eat 'em." A wild hysterical laugh at his
own wit gratod harshly on our ears as we passed out into tho cool, refreshing atmosphere of the outer world.

Time.
Sunday morning it became noised around town that Richard Pearson Hobson, the hero of the Merrimac in Santiago harbor, would pass through this city on the 1:15 Monon trbin enroute from Louisville to Chicago where he was to lecture. When the train pulled in fully 2o0 people had gathered at the station to pay their respects to the Alabamian.

Two or three mothers presented their babies for Hobson to kiss which duty he performed with gallan'ry, Mr. Hobson looks every inch a hero and those who were fortunate enough to be at the station feel proud of owning a hand that shook the hand of Hobson.

BAD WRECK.
An I. D. & W. Passenger Train*
Wrecked at Guion and One
Man Killed.
One of the worst wrecks known to railroad men in this section for years occurred Sunday morning at 2:30. o'clock when the "I udianapolis Express" the fast through night passenger traia on the I. D. A- W., at Guion station, left the tracks and was piled up in in* describable ruin on the right-of-way' with one man killed and sixteen mora or less painfully wounded.
The wreoked train left Tuscola behind time and Engineer Z. M. Gentry and Fireman Leonard McQueen were anxious to make the Roachdftje crossing on time, To that end, as claimed by passengers, the train was forging ovfii the road at the rate of a mile a painute
Back of the PPgine part^e thp com-? binatlon baggage, express »nd H?ai}
Next to the baggage car was the smoker then a day coach, next the through Pullman sleeper from Springfield, 111., and then two special Pullmans, with the regular Indianapolis sleeper at thtf rear end of the train.
?r
About fifteen yards west of the trefc tie at Guion iB a switch, and it Was be4-' lieved that this had not been completely closed Saturday night When th9 freight, west bound, took several loadd from a spur at that point. It was at the switch that the baggage car left the tracks, and was rapidly followed by every other coach and sleeping car in the train. Swinging from one side to another, pounding the eleeperB and ties with a sound that could be heard for miles around, the engine jerked the entire train over the chasm beneath and across the bridge, with less than two feet between it aud a plunge into the abyss where doath would have resulted to every human being aboard.
About two coach-lengths east of the trestle the rail to the right broke and spread away, and the baggage car, torn from its trucks, was lifted high in the air and with a tremendous crash fell at least ten feet to the south of the tracks.
So great was the force that trunks, grips and boxes were thrown UMfwigkthe doors down the north embankment in saveral instances 100 feet away. The car was thrown against the water tank containing several hundred barrels ot water, the tank beiug crushed like an. egg-shell and a deluge of water poured down upon the surroundings.
Tho baggage car fell with a crash, into a pile of debris and took fire. Tha smoking car was thrown around crOBBwise of the trpeks and one end waa crushed by tho day coach, which left its trucks and piled onto the smoker. Tho next two sleepers, one after the othe then were shoved straight through the great mass of broken timbers that were heaped in dreadful ruin on the track and the first rolled over on
itB
side with
the floor in one end crushed and broken with ragged holes by the trucks, the second Pullman being thrown almost at right angles to the trackB, where it rolled over on its side with one wall caved in and glass and splinters thrown in every direction, The rear sleeper fared some better. Its roar trucks were burst from their fastenings and thrown down the embankment to the north at least seventy feet away from the grade. The end of the car thus left without support was whirled about and finally tho whole structure of the heavy end of the car was jammed into an embankment south ot the track,
