RAILWAY DISASTER Because a Conductor Failed to Obey Orders Fearful Wreck Ensues. TRAINS GO TOGETHER HEAD-ON Two Illinois Central Trains Crash Into Each Other Near Rockford— Rocky Mountain Train Comes to Grief. Rockford, Ills., Dec. 16.—Failure on the part of a conductor to obey orders is supposed to have been the cause of a head-end collision on the Illinois Central between Irene and Perryville early Sunday morning which resulted in six dead, two missing and 11 hurt. The two trains were the eastbound passenger train No. 4 and a through freight from Chicago going west. The known dead are: Richard Ormsby, Chicago, engineer of passenger train; James Reardon, Freeport, fireman passenger train; Robert Thompson, Dubuque, express messenger; J. ,<. Funk, Chicago, brakeman passenger train; David Behan, Freeport, engineer of freight train; Edward Carey, Freeport, freight fireman. Missing and supposed to be dead; Newsboy on passenger train, rame unknown; section foreman from Irene, name unknown. The trains met in a slight bend in the track, both running at full speed. The smoking, express and baggage cars were piled on the locomotives, pinning in the occupants of the smoker, which took fire. Only three of the half dozen in that car escaped. The others, if not instantly killed, were roasted to death and their bodies, along with those of the engine crews, were consumed. All efforts of the survivors to reach the victims were unavailing. The flames drove them back at every point. EIGHT WKKE KILLED Great Northern PaK-enger Train Left the Truck. Kalispel, Mont., Dec. 16.—A wreck occurred on the .reat Northern railway near Essex In the Rocky Mountains early Sunday. The engine, niail car and smoker remained on the track, but all the others were derailed. Some cars were overturned and all were more or less wrecked. The accident was due to rails spreading. Among the killed was Otto Erickson, en route from Sweden to California. Seven others were killed, but their names have not been learned. They were three old women, a young girl and three men. Two other old ladies are hurt internally, and neither Is expected to survive. Fourteen others were more or less seriously hurt. Among the injured was Advance Agent Sycle of the McPhee company. The train was going at a rate of 25 miles an hour, when it broke in two and the air brakes set immediately, preventing a more serious accident. The largest number of injured were in t*--' day coach. Al! were asleep at the time of the accident. The day coach caught fire, but the flames were extinguished by the passengers.

STolflES OF SINGERS ® TIMES WHEN THEIR VOICES WERE OF MORE WORTH THAN MONEY. Santley's Adventure With n Hund it Mexican Bandits — Some Expeatenceai of Hie Tenor Mario—How Labluche Put a Hear to Flight. Many years since, when trnfellng with some friends in Mexico, Charles Santley was captured by halfbreed bandits and, being unable to pay the large ransom demanded, carried off to the mountains. Over supper the singer, by no means weighed down by his mishap, chanced to break Into song, which so delighted the brigand chief that he demanded an encore. Santley saw his chance and expressed bis willingness to comply on condition that be and his companions were granted their release. The suggestion was accepted, and for over two hours was the singer's voice raised In such exquisite melody that the bandits, true to their word, allowed him and those with him to depart. The late Joseph Maas had a somewhat similar experience. Years back, when with a companion buffalo bunting on the American prairies, he was captured by Indians and carried to tbeir camp. When at his wits' end how to extricate himself from the dilemma, his friend suggested the power of song. Forthwith he commenced an operatic selection that so delighted his cantors that they loosened tils bonds and ur"ed him, at the point of their spears, to continue. Luckily bis voice had a soporific effect upon the Indians, who one by one dropped asleep until, just as be was on the point of stopping from exhaustion. the last passed into the realms of dreams. Then be and his companion quietly stole away. His wonderful voice on one occasion placed the great tenor Mario in a somew’bat Invidious position. When traveling with some companions In Spain, he fell Into the bands of a party of marauding gypsies, who demanded the customary ransom. Mario, tickled at the situation, answered their request in Impromptu song, which be delivered with such exquisite mock dignity that his captors with unanimous acclamation elected him captain of their band. The singer diplomatically acquiesced in their decision, but in the course of the following day contrived to make bis escape with his friends. On another occasion In Madrid the same singer, ns he was returning late one night from the theater where be was engaged, was arrested by the police In mistake for a political discontent. In vain be asserted his Identity. He was carried before their chief, who likewise smiled Incredulously at the captive’s asseverations. Greatly angered. Mario vehement!demanded that bis friends should be forthwith communicated with, but the official shook his head and remarked that if indeed be were the great tenor he possessed in bis voice a sure means of proving the truth of his words. Ten minutes later Mario was bowed out with many regrets and profuse apologies. When traveling to Paris with some other ladies, Mme. Grisl bad a thrilling adventure. At a small wayside station a man entered the carriage, and It soon became evident from his threatening gestures and eccentric behavior that he was a dangerous lunatic. Though her companions were panic stricken. Mme. Grisi retained complete presence of mind and with the utmost composure began to sing. At once the maniac was quiet: bis whole attention was riveted on that magnificent voice, and be remained the most appreciative of listeners until the train reached the next station, where lie was secured, it transpired subsequently that lie was a maniac with homicidal tendencies who had escaped from an asylum. An amusing story Is told of Lablache, the celebrated bass singer. One day as be was strolling leisurely through a French fair a cry was suddenly raised that n bear bad escaped frotn the menagerie. The crowd fled In every dl-rectlon-all save the singer, whose massive proportions precluded the Idea o’ rapid motion. Amid the general com motion lie among them all stood unmoved. calmly awaiting the advent of the ferocious beast, which sure enough came slouching rapidly toward him. When within a few feet. It halted as though to gather Itself together for a final rush, when Lablache stepped for ward and from the lowest depths of his Immense chest sent fortli such a thunderous roar flint the terrified animal turned und tied. When Will u tlnn Be Ton lllcht What will eventually be the limit of Individual wealth? Half a century back "ten thousand a year” was considered to lie a vast fortune. Then "fifty thousand a year” was the phrase commonly used to describe the income of fabulously rich men or women. Later we took to speaking of "millionaires.” In quite recent times tlto "tnultlnillllonnire" with twenty millions hnd reached the limit of private wealth; then forty millions. Now the limit has risen to a hundred millions, ami already the word "billionaire" »:is come Into use Iti the United States. Will the n'lilllbllllonnlre ever replace the multimillionaire?—London Standard. The Birthplace, No matter where a man was born, he swells op at'd claims to Ih' proud of It. There Is no w:»y of knowing If the favored spot reciprocates the feellt .;.— San Franc, Ar Bulletin. — —_ Painful AH ground. Dtinilelgh—lt was nn awful trial for me to tnnkc that speech tonight.
