A Waveland Wedding.

One of the prettiest weddings which has been solemnized at Waveland for a long time was that of Rev. J. P. Robinson and Miss Mary Russell. The ceremony took place in the Christian church, which had been beautifully and artistically decorated for the occasion, and was performed by Dr. D. R. VanBuskirk. Miss Pauline Russell presided at the piano and as she charmingly executed Mendelsohn's exquisite weeding march the bridal party entered and proceeded to the altar when the fortunes of the happy young couple were united in a most impressive manner. After the ceremony a reception was given them at the home of the bride's parents. Mr. Robinson is a rising young minister in the Christian church and has secured for a wife a young lady of a most estimable and lovable character.

Suit is Brought.

M. W. Bruner, reciever for the "Water Works company, has brought suit against John S. Brown for §21,000. The complaint is in two paragraphs and is as voluminous as an agricultural report. In the first paragraph it is claimed that Mr. Brown received §20,000 worth of stock from Commegys it Li wis knowing I that they had never paid for it. This, they claim, Brown is liablo for, as knowing that the parties from whom he obtained the stock had not paid for it.

The second paragraph asserts that Mr. Brown held 810,000 in stock for which I he never paid. The plaintiff is rejiresented by Kennedy it Kennedy and the defendant by Crane Anderson.

Swell Enough to Pop.

The select dance given by Charles Skaggs and lady Saturday evening was a very reclieeho affair. The home was beautifully decorated for the occasion. During the voluptuous swell of the inspiring music "soft eyes looked love to eyes that spake again and all went merrv as a marriage bell." ithin all was joy and gladness and innocent mirth Without officer Charley Huff man walked about in the cold with his club under his arm blowing his blue fingers to keep them warm. Liite the lady who fell out of the balloon he was not in it.

Probably Fatally Hurt.

Saturday afternoon, Samuel Wycoll', residing north of the city, while climbing into his wagon was thrown to the ground by the kick of a vicious horse, and struck upon his head. He suffered some severe brain injury and Dr. Ensminger who was hastily called, at iirst thought the wound was fatal. He has not as yet regained consciousness, although his symptons are slightly more favorable. Mr. Wycoff is GO years of age and an eminently respectable well-to-do citizen.

DEATH AND BLOOD.

DOWN A SIXTY FOOT EMBANKMENT

Goes a Monon Passenger Train—Hardly a Dozen Out of a Hundred Passengers Escape Unhurt A List of the

Dead and Injured.

Although gotten together on short notice

Tick Jouhnal's

two column ac

count of tho wreck Monday was correct except as to a few minor details. The story condensed is as follows:

The north bound mail train which left the Crawfordsville station a few minutes late started out at a pretty stiff rate, engineer Cowwell intending to make up lo^t

ir.r.o. Jwst

beyond the

bridge over Sugar Creek there is a long and steep embankment and about a thousand feet north of the bridge a sharp curve. On this curve the train while going-at the rate of twenty-live miles an hour suddenly left the track and bumped along on the ties for two or three hundred yards. Then tne train parted just behind the tender ami the death and destruction began. The engine continued in its course a short distance find the engineer and fireman were unhurt. The combination baggage and mail car containing the baggage man, express messenger and mail clorks rolled down the 00 foot embankment and the occupants were considerably disfigured. The next car was the baggage car without a person in it and strangely enough remained on the ties. The smoker rolled down, however, and took fire from the deadly car stove, burning up. The ladies' car suffer the worst. It must have turned over several times on its way down the embankment and in it the most of the dead and wounded were found. It was almost literally broked to splinters. The last car named the "Minerva," also went down the hill, but being strongly built did not suffer beyond repair. A pair of trucks crashed through it and broke in two. but fortunately no one happened to be sitting at that point. Tho porter, who was sitting in the dish roum suffered worse than any one else, all his china being broken over his head. The engineer and others hurried to town to give the alarm and on the way called to Martin's ice men, who were soon on tho scene rendering valiant service. A little later citizens with all kinds of conveyances were on the ground and the work of transportation to town began. Most of the victims were taken to the Nutt House, but a few to other hotels and to and private houses.

THE WI5ECK AT NIGHT.

As soon as tho injured had been carried into the city from the scene of the disaster last night, the officials of the road placed eight guards over the wreck to protect the scattered property from tho ravages of vandals. All nig'ht the bon fires blazed away quite merrily and the guards stood, around stretched out on car seats and discussed the horror. No one appeared to steal or pillage and early this morning th^ baggage wagons appeared on the scene to carry back the valises, overcoats, and other luggage which had been piled up promiscuously to await identification. Tho trains passed all night as the wrecking crew worked hard and by the time tho midnight mails were due the track was clear and repaired. The broken cars and trucks, not totally destroyed, will be hauled .back to the company's shops for repairs. Tho car "Minerva" can be re paired although a pair of trucks crashed clear through it. The smoker was burned up entirely and the ladies' car smashed to diudling wood. The other car which left the track, the mail car is but slightly injured and will need but few repairs. The other cars were left upon the embankment and, of course not injured much.

AXOTIIBK ACCIDENT. 'fjt

At 11 o'clock Monday night an alarm of fire sent everybody scurryin down to the Monon station where it was reported another wreck had occurred The report was very true. Engineer Werkoff, of through freight No. 72 came puffing around the curve at the McKeen mills at tho time of the wrecland his hair stood on end' when he saw upon the track at the station the wreck ing train. Werkoff had 35 loaded cars behind him and although he had slowed up to stop he could not possibly do so in time to avert a rear end col lision. The engine went into the wrecker's caboose with a crash, throw ing the nine men who were sleeping in it all over each other and the floor. A barrel of oil was very handily upset on the red hot stove and things in general were in a pretty mess. Werkoff could not back his engine out and could mere ly stand and utter cries of fire, while the nine gentlemen picked themselves up out of the burning oil and went fly ing about just as the fire company opened up on them with two or three streams. Three cars and the station were on fire, but it was not long before what threatened to be a ser ious conflagration was under control The old station received a much needed washing and in the confusion a numb: of Agent Watson's papers wore washed away. The money box was also missing but after a lively search was found. This wreck, after the other so serious one.

seemed a gigantic fa rep anil tho crowd howled with laughter. Werkoff throws the entire blame on the Conductor Kramer, who, erkoil asserts, had no flagman out 'o warn him of the position of tho wrecking train. Kramer asserts that he did have a flagman out and that NVorkolT failed to see him. The issue therefore resolves itself into a |ueBtion of veracity.

TIIK ni'.AI) AND \\"t'N])i i.

Manager Miao, of the .Burlesque Company,decided,last night, to bury Mad amo rma an J\okey liere as she had im

1 relatives in this country, sho having torn off and side crushed, a..10 from Germany nine years ago bv herbeif. M'aco enlisted her in his company four weeks ago it a salary of S2o week. She was considered to be the great toe dance artist of the country md was about *V2 years old. Sho was a vout Catholic and Father Dinnen hold mass over her remains this afternoon previous to her burial iu ik Hill eomtery. She was a plea-ant lady and tho female members of the troupe shed bit ter tears over tho thought of her being buried so far from her foreign home imong strangers.

The news of the injury of C. H. Cheek, of Greencastle, was conveyed at onco to his wife, and she with her child, a girl of eight years, and her cousin, Capt. Darnell, a prominent business man, left, in a carriage, 28 miles, was hours and the arty arrived here before midnight. Mr. Cheek lived two hours and was conscious ilmost up to the time he died. Tho parting scene with his family was a most iffecting ono and all present were moved to tears. Mr. Cheek, conscious of his approaching death displayed a remarkabls courage and fortitude and all in his power to comfort and encourage his weeping wife and child. Mr. Cheek was a prominent lumberman of great activity and business foresight, having a large milling business nt Ullin, 111. He was 42 years of age and an examplary man in every way. He died from the shock caused by having his leg mashed off and from loss of blood. The remains accompanied by the sorrowing family left for Greencastle Tuesday where tho interment will take place.

The relatives of Ben Bamberger, who was instantly killed and so horribly mangled, arrived from Cincinnati last night and, taking charge of the body, left for his home in Cincinnati, Tuesday Ben Hamberger has been traveling fifteen years through this section for Liebtiian it Schloss and was 3(i years old He was a most popular and successful salesman and had numberless friends all over the section. He boarded the train here Monday, having visited his customers, Tannenbaum Brothers, in the morning

THE CAUSK.

Tho cause of the wreck was beyond dispute a broken rail. The broken wheel story and the section men repair ing tho track story are wholly discredited by those in a position to know. Tho rail had been broken some time, as the rust in one of the breaks clearly demonstrates. It was broken into many pieces, but the breaks with the one exception were all fresh. Agent Watson states that he knows nothing oi the two section men being out at tho place of tho wreck. Engineer Cowwell protests that they were. Buck Price also states that he met them hurrying back to town and hauled them out to the wreck both half frightened to death-

SETTLIN'li WITH TIIK 1MI It 101

Claim Agent Houston arrived on the scene from Bloomington Monday with a ig satchel full of greenbacks, which the ollieials who came up from Louisville handed him when ho got on the train. Mr. Houston is an energotio and enterprising young men, and had not been in Crawfordsville twenty minutes before he began to take tho injured under his wing and sottle with them. He would take tlieiu privately to one side, ask them how much their injuries and inconvenience amounted to, and if tho reply seemed reasonable ho shelled out on the spot ami took their receipt for all inconvenience and injury sustained in the wreck. C. W. Lowden, of Salem, was(caught at the Monon station Tuesdayafternoon. He was suffering from a cut on his head and a bruised leg and thought that §20 would heal hi in. Ho got it. A number of others received like amounts and some even less. Some held out for unreasonable amounts and will probably indulge in tho luxury of law suits. These suits do not have to occur necessarily in this county whore the wreck occurred, but may bo brought iu any county through which the road passes. It is thought, however, that nearly all tho injured will couqiromiso with the road, as it is disposed to act very fairly in the matter.

MIC. DUItrjA.M S EXVUIUKNIIE. Will Durham, of Linden, came limping into town at about :i o'clock in company with Hon. Jasper N. Davidson, of Whitesville. They had been in the same seat in the ladies' coach and ad fared about alike, both being covered with dirt, scratches and bruises. Mr. Durham gives the following as his experience: "We wore talking when suddenly about two miles out tho train gave a sudden lurch and began to bump over the ties at a Tearful rate. I know it had left tho track and hastily glanced frotn the window. My heart almost stopped boating when I perceived that wo wero upon a steep embankment fifty feet high it looked to mo. Wo must have rushed over tho ties for a hundred yards before we left the track. The train parted at the smoker, and leaving the engine, baggage car and mail car on the track, tho smoker, ladies' car and chair car began a terrible rush to the bottom below us. The experience was simply awful. The cars gave great jumps and lurches. There was a sound of crashing timbers and shivering glass as we tore over tree tops and stumps, and high above tho awful dire resounded tho shrieks of the injured and terrified passengers. I grasped tho seat in front of mo and gazed out. It seemed a long time, but at length tho car in its mad rush began to careen and J. knew it was going ovor. I watched my opportunity and as the topple came J. leapod into tho space above tho car window, with Mr. Davidson right on top of me. The stop was instanteous and for a space of perhaps two seconds dead quiet reigned. Then began the agonized cries of tho injured and not long after I hoard tho cracking oi flames telling mo that the wrock was on fire and would soon be destroyed.

Faint with my bruises and dazzod by tho shock of the sudden stop I struggled to my foot and with Mr. Davidson began to help the passengers from tho car. Some wore badly injured and cried pitifully as we lifted them out. Others wore pinioned down by seats and timbors and shouted lustily for assistance. Dense volumes of black

impossible to attempt to control tho fire as the llames leaped up at onco and we had t.o fight hard to help the passengers out. When I lirst stepped from the car, I ran right over a well dressed man lying dead on! the bank his entrails running out nnd crimsoning the snow. Tho cars were burning and as soon as wo had gotten out all the people I oame on to town to wire my wife that I was safe.

ECHOES FltOM THE WItlCCK.

On-ill Cook exerted his wonderful mesmeric powers on some of the victims, greatly to their relief, of course. Ono lady was unwilling that he should leave her side.

The dead were taken chargo ofMonday by the undertaking firms of MoC111 re ,t Scott and .lore Voris, who prepared all for burial in tho neatest possible manner.

Iho mail which had boon put up was scattered all over the car and sadly besmeared with blood. It took three clerks several hours Monday night straighten out tho muss.

The scones at the Nutt House Monday night wero a grand argument in Tavor of the secret societies. Nearly all the injured men were members of some order and wore carefully attended bv them.

Tho section man who was at work near the accident stated to Sam Burkholder that ho applied to tho company lor a rail to take the place of the broken one, Bomo time since, but htid not received it beforo tho wrock.

Bon Myers had on board tho train a fine rooster which ho was shipping toG. W. Sward at Larnick, 111. Tho ooop was broken all to pieces but tho fowl uninjured walked about the scones of the wrock wholly unconcerned.

Ihe people of tho Nutt House have been fairly rushed to death and have labored heroically to lend every assistance possible. Mr. Brenizer and family gave up all their own apartments as did the clerics to tho accommodation of the injured and their friends.

Zachariah Roberts, an agpd colored man of Bedford, is ono of tho victims who escaped newspaper montion Ho is badly crushed about the chest and shoulders and is resting at the La Vota, where his old friend, Mrs. John Halo is caring for him.

One man of this city missed the doomed train Monday on account of stepping to sign his name for tho receipt of a telegram, lie was very mad at first, but cooled down to zero when ho viewed tho ruins of tho coaches, in which ho came so near being.

G. K. Lowell, of Louisville, tho road's official who was badly hurt, was taken homo Tuesday, his wife having arrived Monday night. Ho was takon in chargo by tho Knights Templar who gave him every care. Ho was* delirious til night and kept repeating tho praver ho had uttered in tho wreck, pi ay ing for tho deliverance of hiiiwelf and follow passengers.

Manager Miaco of the burlesque company was to have shown at tho Lyceum theatre in Chicago Monday night and the seats were all sold. He had a stand iu Milwaukee Tuesday but states that it will take him a month to recruit his oinpanv anil got it on tho road again. General Passenger Agent Barker told him Tuesday morning that tho road stood ready with a sleep to take his oiupany wherever ho wished to put it.

As Buck I'rice was taking agent Watson and Dr. Cowan out to tho wlaeo of

tho wreck ho met three men saw-logs, and those men failed the roail for some cause and it in tho cab colliding with ono wagons. Tho cab tongue was am'

liauling to give resulted of the broken

tho occupants shaken tip in a lively manner. Tho men got out, and the cab was taken back to town and after putin a new tongue carried out two of the wandering section men. Tho log men should pay the damage, failed to give tho road as the |uires.

Tho following officials of the road wero on hand Tuesday lending every assistance to tho injured and doing their best to straighten out matters: General Passenger Agent Barker, of Chica go General Manager W. II. McDoell of Louisville Director W. L. Broyioglo, of Louisville Road Agent G. K.Lowell, of Louisville General Superintendent S. .1. Collings, of Chicago Superintendent of bridges and tracks, Hall, of Chicgo General Solicitor, Judge Fiold, of Indianapolis Assistant Attorney 0. C. Matson, of Greecastle Train Master J, B. Suseco, of Bloomington.

In the west parlor of tho Nutt Houso was a pitiable sight. A half a dozen young girls, mombers of tho Burlesquo Company, wero sitting and lying there all hurt more or less and moaning and Bobbing. A reporter asked one of them her name and address. She answored "Madgo Larer, and I live at Pittsburg. That's where my mama is and I want to see her." With that all the others began to cry for thoir mamas, and yet when they realized that the information they wero giving was to go in tho paper they begged that it should not for fear their parents would be alarmed and &U insisted to tho reporter that they were not at all seriouBlv hurt.

Catarrh is not a local but a constitutional disease, and requires a consti tutional remedy like Hood's Sarsaparillu, to effect a cure.
