A TEKlilBLE DISASTER.

ALTON, 111., Jan. 23.—As a result of a terrible accident at Alton Junction Saturday sixteen dead bodies are lying in the temporary morgue in this city, fourteen people are so badly injured that they are expected to die within a few hours and thirty-ono others are dangerously hurt liow it Occurred.

Alton Junction, or Wann, is located '2 miles east of tliis city, and is a transfer station for the Cleveland, Cincinnati, Chicago & St. Louis and Chicago, Burlington & Quincv railroads. The latter road joins the liig Four at this point, running into St. Louis over the same track. The fast through train known as the southwestern limited was coming out from St. Louis at 0 o'clock, thirteen minutes late, and making up lost time at -17 mile an hour speed, when it ran into an open switch and collided with a long freight train consisting mostly of loaded Union Tank line cars. Engineer Webb lloss, of Mattoon, saw the danger too late, but he threw on the air brakes and staid with his engine, being buried iu the wreck and burned to a crisp.

Tlio Kniti.s Ablaze.

The shock of the collision was such as to split two loaded tanks wide open and the oil immediately caught fire, the ilames shooting 50 feet into the air. The locomotive and baggage car were totally wrecked, but the remainder of the passenger train was removed beyond the reach of the flames. Hearing of the wreck, hundreds of people from this city and vicinity were attracted by curiosity to the scene. And then occurred one of the most awful disasters on record.

Scattered Deatli liroadcast. A few minutes past 12 o'clock there was a light explosion of one tank which scattered the debris on all sides, setting lire to the stock yards incisures. This one blow-up caused the impression that the danger from explosions was past, and the throng of bystanders rushed in to save the stock yards from destruction.

A minute later there was a deafening report that shook the earth for half a minute and spread a sheet of seething, burning oil in all directions. For those within the circle of a hundred yards there was no escape. Some of thein were struck dead by pieces of Hying iron and scores of them were knocked flat on the ground. Their clothing caught tire from the spreading flames and was burned from their bodies. Those who could rise did so and ran hither and thither making frantic appeals for help. Some of the sufferers ran to the nearest water and plunged in. Others ran through the fields, and a few of them are missing yet.

Kvcry One Was I'jmir Stricken.

An utter panic followed for a lime after the explosion, and those who were not seriously or fatally injured could do nothing to help the less unfortunate. When they finally recovered their senses they set about with a will to relieve the sufferings of the men whose ilesii was cooking on their bones. Two barrels of linseed oil were taken from a grocery store and applied to the wounds by several physicians ho were suuithe scene. i£verv house in village was turned into a hospital and every doctor in its vicinity was summoned, as possible a train was made

moneil to the little temporary Alton and As soon up and twenty of the sufferers were brought here to St. Joseph's hospital.

Sixteen Are Drail.

Of the followinc list of dead all but the first six and Utt, Miller and Montz died of their injuries after being removed to the hospital. The dead bodies of the last-named were found uear the scene of the wreck Sunday morning. The deaths were as follows:

Webb Ross, Mattoon, 111.: Hiram Cornelius, Iowa: Edward Miller, Alton Junctiou two unidentified men William Shatluck, Upper Alton. 111. Henry Pennlnsf, Wann, 111. Willie M'Carty, Alton John Locke, Alton Kdward Mauhiu, Alton Daniel Harm's, Alton miction: William Mantz, Fosterburg, 111. Charles Utt, Alton W. H. Miller, Alton: Charles 1'arrlsAlton John Wilkinson, Alton.

Fourteen Oilier* Will Die.

Of the injured the hospital physician said that fourteen cannot recover. They are:

Otto Hagwan, Alton John Fred, Alton Joseph Herman, Alton Henry Pilgrim, Alton John Luttrell, /»lton: William 13. Kichardson Alton David Richardson, Alton A. T. Frazer! St. Louis Frank Harth, Branford, Can. Frank Scullin, Alton John Burke, Alton: William Miller, Alton Junction Murray, Upper Alton ——Rotoff Upper Alton.

Many Injured.

Probably forty others received severe injuries but will likely recover. All the dead were burned to death by flaming oil. Of the fatally injured all are more or less seriously burned about the liinbs and body. All are also injured internally from inhaling the burning flames, which scorched and parched their throats to such an extent that their escape from instant death is almost miraculous. The other injured suffer from burns on various parts of the head, limbs and body.

Koss Wag Boiled to Death. Webb RDSS, the brave engineer who lost his life, leaves a widow and six children at Mattoon. The fireman jumped from the cab in time to save himself from the crash. The crew of the freight train also saw the passenger engine in time to escape from the caboose which was driven to splinters. Ross body when found was pinned in between the boiler and tender and covered with oil from the burning tank. He was literally boiled to death.

the blame for the wreck. The coroner's inquest will be held to-day.

Southwestern limited, which crashed into the freight, was running out of St. Louis about thirteen minutes behind time. To make this up she was going at a speed of nearly 50 miles an hour. Tho passengers were fearfully jolted when the collision came but none of them were seriously hurt. The force of the collision split two oil barrels wide open and the oil immediately caught fire. An eye witness says that the flames shot fully 50 feet into the air. The passenger engine, the freight caboose and several of the cars were completely destroyed. The*passenger cars, however, were beyond the reach of the flames, and were not injured except by the wrecking they received iu the collision. No accurate estimate of the financial loss can now be given, but it will doubtless greatly exceed S100,000.

Scenes In tbe llonpltal.

The scenes iu the wards at St. Joseph's hospital occupied by the injured were even more heartrending than Saturday. Lying on cots, wrapped and swathed iu cotton and bandages until they almost lost semblance to human beings, and surrounded by weeping relatives and sorrowing iriends, the injured people formed a picture that brought tears to the eyes of even the physicians, accustomed as they are to such sights. The meanings of the patients were piteous. livery few moments some tortured victim, writhing in agori3r, would half rise from his couch, then fall back suffering more intense pain than before. Seeming to know by intuition when the physician was near them they would beg piteously to be relieved of their pain. "Doctor, foi God's sake, kill me and put me out of my misery!" said one. "Oh! for even an instant's relief from this misery!-' said another.

Perhaps the most pitiful sight of all was that of 13-year-old Willie McCarty. Sitting by his bedside, trying in vain by gentle words and soothing caresses, while her voice trembled with the grief which was breaking- her heart, was his mother. The boy's flesh was cooked from head to foot, llis eyes were burned out, the skin had peeled off his face and head, taking with it large portions of the flesh. The only response the anxious mother received to her inquiry as to how he felt was: "Oh, my head! Doctor, why can't I die?"

Some of the patients lay perfectly quiet, not a sigh or a moan escaping their lips. "Poor fellows," said the attendant physician, "they are past moaning now and will soon be beyond all earthly suffering."

It was not until a visit was made to the morgue back of the hospital that the horrible reality of the accident became apparent. Here awaiting the undertaker were the bodies of five of those who died during the night. 1 he bandages had been removed from the bodies and the fearful ravages of tk burning oil were plainly apparent Scarcely one of the five could be recognized by relatives. The oil wherever it had touched the skin had burned deep into the flesh, while such portions of the cuticle as escaped entire destruction were blistered and in many places blackened by the intense heat. The lips were terribly swollen and discolored and the eyes of all were burned out. Every vestige of hair was burned off face and head and in many places the skulls and cheek bones were exposed. Wives and mothers, sisters and daughters, on being shown tiie bodies of the beloved dead, shrank back in horror and could scarcely be convinced that, the distorted features before them were all that remained of those so dear to them and whose taking away meant in some instances the loss of their sole support and reliance.

ALTON, 111., Jan. 24. Five, mora deaths are reported as the result of the explosion at Wann Saturday and twen-ty-five more are in a dangerous condition, many of them without hope of recovery. The total number of deaths is now twenty-one, the additions being:

William Hdwards, Wann, 111.: Thomas Houlihan, East St. Louis, 111.: James N. Murray, county assessor, Upper Alton, 111. Charles Stalter, Alton Junction, 111. Henry Weigand Alton Junction, Iii.

Of the injured it is asserted by the physicians that fully twelve more are expected to die in a few hours. Every physician within reach is engaged in alleviating the sufferings of the burned and blackened victims. Relatives of the victims from other points are arriving at Alton to aid their injured or identify their dead.

At the inquest held by Coroner Campbell at liast St. Louis on the remains of Thomas Houlihan, who was one of the wrecking crew killed by the explosion, the jury returned a verdict, in which they held the Cleveland, Chicago, Cincinnati & St. Louis Kailroad company responsible for his death by reason of employing incompetent men to attend the switches. Switchman Grattan, who is charged with having left the switch open at Wann, is said to be so poorly paid for his work as switchman that he is compelled to run a little barber shop in connection therewith. Grattan is still missing and likely to continue so. It would hardly be safe for him to return in the present condition of the minds of the friends of the victims of what is believed his carelessness.

Blaine Still Very Feeble.

WASHINGTON, Jan. 24.—Dr. Johnston visited Mr. Blaine at 6 o'clock Monday evening. On leaving the house he said he considered the patient just a trifle stronger than yesterday, but this was almost imperceptible Mr. Blaine, he said, rested well during the day. Tbe doctor was asked if he considered Mr. Blaine's condition improved. He replied that he did not and that he was still very feeble.

Horses Burned to IJeatii.

CLINTON, Mo., Jan. 24.—At 5 o'clock a. m. fire was discovered in Churchill Brothers livery stable. The flames quickly spread to adjoining buildings and before they were extinguished business property to the value of $100,000 was totally destroyed. Fifteen horses were cremated.

LOWKI.I,, Mass., .Jan. 17.—Monday the foremost citizeu-soldier of Massachusetts was laid to rest with all the uiors, both military and civic, to which his high rank entitled him. Thousands gathered around his bier to attest their sorrow at his departure. The chief executive of tho commonwealth and the humblest workman stood elbow to elbow at his grave. Maj. Gen. Benjamin F. Butler, jurist, ex-con-gressmai} and ex-governor, received in death the full measure of recognition which was denied him iu life. He was buried as the friend of the people. There were among the mourners all shades of political opinion, all sects, all classes.

Long before the hour of the services in tlio church the sidewalks in the neighborhood began to be crowded, ami when the body was carried from the li.ill across the street fully !30,0()() people were within sight. As soon as the casket was seen hundreds of heads were bared and heads bowed us the pa 11-bearers slowly bore their burden into the sanctuary. Only those who held cards of admission secured entrance to the church. They numbered only S."0, a handful of people compared with the enormous crowd without.

It was nearly 2 o'clock when the tolling bells announced the approach of the cortege. The four coal-black steeds were stopped in front of the gate and the Ira .id Army of the Republic veterans lifted the casket and placed it upon a stretcher, guarded by the. body-bear-ers. They carried the casket into the vestibule, where Rector St. John Chainbre and the honorary pallbearers awaited it. The latter were lion. John A. Lowell, J. E. Sherman, Hon. Edward Avery, E. T. Burley, Hon. Charles H. Allen, Col. George J. Carney, Hon. George F. Richardson and Hon. J. M. Marshall.

In the first carriage were Mr. Paul Butler and his sister, Mrs. Blanche Butler Ames. Gen. Ames and Cadet Ames, of West Point. The other members of the family and intimate friends who had assembled at the house followed them into the church. Rev. Dr. Chambre and his assistant, Rev. George S. Sinclair, opened the doors and slowly led the way towards the altar, the rector reciting the regular Episcopal burial service. The eulogy had been spoken at the private services at the house, so there were no departures from the regular service at the church. At its close the casket was borne out of the church and placed iu the hearse and then tho line of march was taken to tiie cemetery. There were more than 150 carriages in line and when the escort arrived at the grave with the casket the last of the cortege had just left the church.

Gen. Poach and staff occupied a knoll inside the cemetery and the l.roof.s and the volley firers were grouped near the grave. Rev. Dr. Chambre concluded tiie religious service, the masons gave a short ritual and the volley was fired.

EMPTY VAULTS.

Treasurer Croiiklilte, ol' Warren County, lint., Decamps—A I lelaleai ion Wlileh .May Amount, to !$lon.OGO Discovered.

Wii.i.iAMSPoiiT, lnd.. Jan. 24.—Expert accountants on Monday hastily went over the books of Augustus Cronkliite, treasurer of Warren county, and announced a defalcation of Siio.OOO. A more careful comparison of tax duplicates and the delinquent list to be published this week it is thought may increase this sum to $100,000 or more. Cronkliite left Williamsport Friday night. When the vaults in his ollice were opened Monday morning not a dollar remained. Ilow muchjof the county's funds in cash he got away with can only be surmised. It is placed at not loss than 510,000.

Cronkliite had thirty-two bondsmen in this city and Attica across the river in Fountain county, where he did some business with banks, and about fifteen of these men will be ruined. They were small Jaad OH ners, friends of the treasurer who would have taken his word as quick as his note. In addition to these there is said to be one or two grain commission firms in Chicago who will lose heavily in margins advanced for the ofiicer. Cronkliite is thought to have lost a small amount on the last election, but it is just coming out that he was a quiet speculator on the Chicago board of trade. For Warren county, never a wealthy locality, the steal is a blow that will cripple it for some time. Several of the bondsmen will be forced into bankruptcy if called on for the full amount of their pro rata liability.

National Farmers' Alliance. CHICAGO, Jan. 24.—The National Farmers' AUiance association meets in annual session at the Sherman house to-day. Representatives will be present from Ohio, Minnesota, Wisconsin, Dakota, Kansas, Iowa and Washington. No programme of business has been arranged, but among the delegates who havo already arrived there is an opinion that a resolution urging the repeal of the tariff law at the earliest moment possible will be passed.

Tax Commissioners Keport. INDIANAPOLIS, Ind., Jan. 21.—The state board of tax commissioners submitted its annual report to the legislature Friday. The members were exGov. Chase, Gov. Matthews, Col. I. N, Walker, J. O. Henderson and Josiah Given. The report showed that out of $2,000,000 delinquent taxesS458,998 were collected. The board recommends a more equitable law for getting taxes out of railroads, banks, and holders with large personal property to their eredit. It also recommends that all
