He was found by the Banker Times man. and readily told his part of the story. He was Buffering considerable pain, ami decided to stav there till todav. He wired his wife at Indianapolis and his daughter here o^ his injuries, and relieved their

anxiety.

Mr. Crouch was considerabh though not seriously hurt. He was taken to the Christian church, which was -onverted into a tempo

and a bandage covered bis face down to his nose. He was crushed some in the upper part of he body, about the chest and neck, and was rendered very sick for a while. He

in the east edge of telegraphed that he was slightly

hurt, and bravely said he would take the first train home. His folks here were much alarmed last night for his safety. Congressman Feris was cut on 'lie right hand, and had a severe pain in his back; his head was also scratched by flying ruhish. James B. Nelson and Charley Broadstreet boarded the train here, but were in the forward cars and neither was injured. Sanford Bennett, of Greenup, 111., a mail clerk, son of James Bennett, of this city, was aboard. He was uninjured, and came down home

last night.

The scene of the wreck was one that will not soon be forgotten by those witnessing it. The injured, of whom there were about thirty, were tenderly taken care of by th • citizens of 'Coatesville, who to a man worked faithfully for relief, doing all they could do. Surgeons were dispatched from Terre Haute, Brazil, Greeneastle, Clayton and Indianapolis, who under the charge of Chief Surgeon Rice relieved the injured. Si perintendent Harry Miller and other officials went over on a special train, and all worked

left Greeneastle

twenty minutes late, and was making a rapid run for Indianapolis to land there on time, but fate was against the heavy train. The

cident occurred

Coatesville at the cast edge of the switch. A broken rail was the cause. Examination showed that about ten feet of the pointed mov able rail in the switch broke off, letting the wheels to the cross ties. The train consisted of a mail ear, combination baggage and smoker, day coach, chair car, diner, sleeper and President MeKeen’s private car. The first three ears kept the track, and it is thought the rear ear broke the rail, and dragged the other ill-fated ones down. The track tollows a curve on an embankment or ten teet or more, anil the cars were off the south side. They rolled over and over, and brought up in the ditch against a barbed wire fence. Had the cars been of the light day coach kind, the carnage would have been dreadful, but the heavy Pullman cars were not so easily broken, and the i jury from splinters was nothing. The casualties were bad enough, however, and the Vandaliu’s long record for never having killed a passenger was at last broken. The cars caught tire, but Ait McClure and other Coatesville men

quickly extinguished the flames, unceasingly for the welfare of their Then the work of rescue began. In passengers. the sleeper was where the fatalities The train was hauled by No. 34, occurred, a- it seemed that ear suf- the World’s fail engine, and was in fered the most. Mrs. W. S. Tow- ! charge of Capt. John R. Wise, the ers, aged fifty seven years, of Car- veteran, perhaps the best known

thage, Mo., with her husband, were on their way to Philadelphia to attend the funeral of a relative. Mrs. Towers was killed, her head being crushed, and she died as she was being taken from the train. John W. Norton, manager of the Grand opera house of St Louis, was in the same ear, and was fatally crushed. He never regained consciousness. Mrs. I). L. Anderson and son and Mrs. Alice Foster, of this city, were in this car on their way to Baltimore, Md., to spend several weeks. Mrs. Foster felt the car swaying, and handed the baby to Mrs. Anderson just betore the crash came. Mrs. Anderson was

conductor in the west. Mr. Wise was roughly used, one arm being broken and his head cut. Pat Daily, engineer, and Jerry Hanley, fireman, both of Terre Haute, were uninjured, as their ponderous machine kept the track. They stopped the train in a wonderfully short space, and heroically stood to their posts. In President McKeen’s ear were Samuel Mi Keen, brother of W. R. McKeen; I). W. and Charles Minshall, and David Harris, the porter, all from Terre Haute. D. W. Minshall was slightly bruised, tho others escaping harm.

held tight to her baby, however, and the little lellow didn't get a scratch. Assistance was soon at hand, and the Coatesville people worked like Trojans in relieving passengers, most of whom were taken out through the windows, the ears being on their sides or top. In the chair car a great many were injured. As the tiaiu pulled out of Greeneastle something was wrong with the heating apparatus of the day coach, and the passen gers were told to go into the chair car, free of expense, and make

The work ot getting an accurate list list of the killed and injured was a hard task, as the passengers were scattered all over the town, in private houses and churches, and the reporters, had to take a house to house canvass, entering every house where a light was to be seen. By making a systematic canvass of the village and comparing notes, the reporters and physicians were able to make what is thought to be a complete list, whiqh is as follows: Mrs. W. S. Towers, Cartilage. Mo.,

Dr. G. C. Stnythe was called to Fillmore in the afternoon to see a patient and upon his return was handed a telegram summoning him to Coatesville to see John Norton, the St. Louis manager. Dr. Smythe took a fresh team and went back over the road. He could do nothing for the fatally injured man. The Banner Times man went 1 over the Big Four to Reno and

The killing of Mrs. Towers was the first fatality to a passenger the Vandalia has had to record in its long existence of splendid train service. This is a record possessed

by no other road.

Superintendent Miller was on the scene and assisted materially

in the straighting of matters.

Editor Craven, of Bloomington, with true newspaper instinct, went to work writing up the accident but his ruptured ribs and crushed cuest

The story in a morning paper concerning Mrs. Anderson’s separation ftotu her baby in the wreck was written by some tender hearted reporter who had been imposed upon. The Banner Times gives the facts as they occurred and no such scenes were enacted as the paper

Foster are ai home today and are feeling the effects of their slwiking up, both of them being severely bruised, but they have no serious injuries, and will in a few days make another effort to make their

trip to Baltimore.

John VV. Norton who was injured in the Vandalia wreek yesterday, died this morning at 4:30

o clock.

President Swain, of I. I’., was on the train but was uninjured.

Revival Services at College Avenue The revival service of last evening was largely attended. The evangelist. Rev. Walker, took for his text the words, "Keeping mercy for thousands, forgiving iniquity and transgression and sin, and that will by no means clear the guilty,” Ex. xxxiv; 7. He dwelt chiefly upon the three words, iniquity, transgression and sin. He portrayed the awful ness of these three words in such a manner that the guilty could not escape conviction. Victory seemed at hand, at least a half dozen persons came to the altar to escape the wrath of sin and seek the pardon of God.
