TERRIBLE RAILROAD WRECK

MASY KILLED ASD A SCORE WOlDED IX XEimASKA. Itock Inland PiMfiiicrr Train Hnrlrd from a. Trestle The Entire Train Durnrd-Thc amfit of the A lot lm $Dipopd to lie the Work of Wrecker. LINCOLN. Neb., Aug. 9. One of the worst railroad wrecks in this section' in years occurred shortly after 10 o'clock tonight. The north-bound Rock Island passenger train went off a high bridge four or five miles south of the city. It was a local train, consisting of engine, tender, baggage, smoking- car and coach. The engine and combination car went over the bridge, leaving the coaches suspended on the trestle. When the engine struck the broken rail she jumped the track and bounding along over the ties for a hundred feet rolled to one side and plunged down on the Union Pacific tracks below, followed by the other three cars. LINCOLN, Neb., Aug. 10. It was nearly dark this evening before the frightful mass of debris occupying the ravine where the Rock Island express was -wrecked and burned a few miles south of this city last nigfct had cooled sufficiently to enable the large crowd gathered at the place, in the hope of learning something of the fate of friends r relatives, to inspect the charred mass In detail, but any hope they may have entertained of securing from the great ash pile information aa to the identity of those who lost their lives In 'the holocaust was soon blastedThe tons of water thrown on the twisted relies of the train and the bed of embers had been insufficient to prevent every vistige of combustible matter being destroyed. Occasionally a charred skull or a partially burned human bone was raked from the bod of the furnace. ttlt nothing more remained to tell the "tale of those who went down with the ill-fated train, anl time will le required to determine just how many persons were lost in the wreck.

The body of Dr. Pinnoy of Council Bluffs was found In the wreckage this afternoon. anl, although fearfully burned and merely a mass of flesh, It was recognized by papers whii'i escaped entire destruction. He was a prominent physician. From the crr. fused tangle of conflicting stories toll by excited eye-witnesses it has been definitely ascertained that one man met his death in the flames. The low moaning which had been (heard In t"he ruins cf the smoker had ceased before the flames reached It, and the presumption is that all its unfortunate occupants" were dead. One victim. Whose name will never be known, lay under the tender, the upper edge of which lay across his thighs, chrushing them Into the hard gravel. . As Col. Bills approached he begged piteoufdy to be released and saved from ,th flames. Col. Rills i3 a man of nerve fend decision, but he was confronted by a terrible alternative. To move the tender was an utter impossibility, and the long tongues of hungry flames were reaching out greedily for their victim. For an instant he thought that only one of the man's legs was rinned down and thought .bout amputating it. Then he saw both were fast, and while he hesitated helplessly for a moment a gush of wind drove the flames and smoke upon him, blistering his face and scorching his clothes. Before he could recover himself the long, fiery tongues had wrapped Ihemselvs about The bodv and head of their terrified victim and stilled his Screams. Itcwnrd for the Fiend. As the Rock Inland has offered a reward Bf 51,000 for the apprehension of the Wreckers the county and state will be asked to add to the reward. 001. C. J. Bills, treasurer of the National guard association of the United States, was one cf the fortunate passengers, and Ills fetor y i-3 as folowsl "Jay McDowell and myself were seated In the middle of the car, and, as we discovered that the train was likely to go over the trestle, McDowf 11 started down the aisle. I called to him to sit down, and the next instant the crash came. The (engine went overtxrd first, and the smoker on top of that and the rear coach, in which we were seated. Jammed down upon the other. The car was crowded with passengers, and we were forced along the backs of the seata in front of us. and all but MctoweH and myself were horrible mangled. As soon as possible we climbed through a window, and in fifteen minutes succeeded in extricating nine personä who were Jammed in the debris. Hearing the shrieks and cries for help on all ßides, I left McDowell and ran three miles across the country to the penitentiary without making a top. I had warned the police department, and they responded ndbly with patrol wagons, carriages and physicians." Two Theorie Advanced. There are two theories as to the wrecking of the train. It being conceded that the train was derailed by the removal of the rails for a part of the way across the trestle. There is plenty of evidence to prove this as a fact. A fish plate and the bar with which It had been wrenched loose were found near the trestle after the wreck occurred. One theory is that strikers from South Omaha did the work, believing that a company of Ftate troops, who were to have boarded the train at Fairbury, were abroad. The company missed connection however. Three well-dressed men are known to have left a north-bound freight near the bridge late Thursday afternoon and take a south-bound train late in the afternoon, the last train that passed the bridge safely being the one whkh they boarded. Detectives are looking for them. Harry Foote. the Injured brak-man- Is the one who advances the theory that the train was maliciously wrecked. According to his. story a rail was removed on the brldg? and the fish plate and a crowbar were found in the grass near by. The evidences were plainly there and unmistakable. Marks made by a wrench

on a loosened rail were plainly visible and the marks of the crowbar on the cross ties were there so plain that no lantern was needed to examine them. The wrod of the ties was deeply dented wherever the crowbar had been- Inserted and the rails lifted clear and the spikes, which had been pulled out, were lying loose on the bridge. Late tonight the body of Andrew Hensen, a farmer of MoPhe-rson county, Nebraska, was Identified by a watch found lying in the midst of a pile of human bones. All of the bodies or parts of those mentioned by name in the list of killed has been received. The polic have arretted a colored man named George Davis, who is supposed to be connected with the wrecking. Shortly after the wreck occurred he applied to a hackman to be driven up town. He had been on the train, he said, and lost his coat. II? was seen near the place where the wreck occurred, it is claimed, with a crowbar. The police say they have evidence sufficient to convict. His motive is not known. LINCOLN. Neb., Aug. 11. The remains of eleven bodies of persons who perished in the terrible wreck on the Rock Island were' identified today, and there is little reason to believe that any more can be Identified. The report that A. K. Edde and M. Beaver were among the victims has proven to be false. They were safe in their homes at Pawnee City. The colored ex-convict, George Washington Davis, who was arrested last evening on suspicion of having caused the wreck, neither denies nor confirms the charge. He holds a bad record around these parts and suspicion points very strongly toward him. Should it prove true that he is guilty it wouldn't be surprising if the law was relieved from passing upon his punishment, as feeling la very high here. At the -coroner's inquest this afternoon the investigation was. if anything, favorable to the negro. The Investigation will last several days yet. FORMALLY RECOGNIZED.

Government Approves the Course of .Minister Willln. NEW YORK. Aug. 9. A World dispatch from Washington says: "The republic of Hawaii has been formally recognized by the United States, through the president and the secretary of state. The provisional government proclaimed in January, when the queen was de throned, was succeeded on July 4. a little more than a .nonth ago, by a republican form of government. On the day fol? lowing Minister Willis extended recognition, so far as it was within hU power, to the nsw republic. The action taken by the minister was reported to the state department In dispatches received on July CO. which wre immediately transmitted to congress. "Minister Willis's action has been discussed at several cabinet meetings, but no decision was reached until today, when Seereary (Jresham. under the direction of the president, sent a formal note to the minister approving his course. Although the text of Mr. Gresham's letter has not been made public, it is understood that the president extends to the new republic the hearty good wishes of the United States." MAY END IN DIVORCE. Qnnrrrl In the Drew Kamily tiirl In the Cane. NEW' YORK. Aug. 7. The Tress tomorrow will say: "Sidney Drew, son of Mrs. John Drew and brother of John Drew, himself a recognized actor, and his wife. Gladys, daughter of McKee Rankin, and known to the stage as Gladys Rankin, are in a domestic imbroglio which threatens to culminate in the divorce court. The couple, which has been held up to the theatrical world as a model one for some time, had a skeleton in the closet In the shape of Mi.s Eloise Willis, a young actress, who played in a company with Sydney before his marriage. She has been living at the f.ime hotel with the Drews and Mr. Drew's attentions to her were distasteful to his wife. On Monday nipht, Mrs. Drew alleys, she heard considerable merriment in Miss Willis's room and opening the door unannounced found her husband in the society of Miss Willis, Miss du: m an l another young gentleman. A number of empty champagne bottles betokened the nature of the festivities. Mrs. Drew made accusations against her husband and retired to her own room, declaring she would seek a divorce at orce. Mr. Drew would not discuss the affair." EXPLOSION ON A BOAT. One Man Missing: nnd n umber Severely Injured. PHILADELPHIA, Aug. 7.

When the train stopped at Pleasantville, seven miles from here, all but three of the men left the cars. The trio were arrested by the police immediately upon their arival in this city. They were arraigned in the police court and fined $25 each and sentenced to serve thirty days In the county prison. There was not a cent among the three.

Joseph Schunk. aged thirty. Probably four thousand residents, principally in the Eleventh ward, attempted to hold another mass meeting in violation of the proclamation issued yesterday by Mayor Koch, in which he forbade the holding of public gatherings on the South Side. The people had been made defiant by the incendiary speeches at the mass meeting on Wednesday evening, and when the small squad of police that had been sent there early in the evening tried to peaceably disperse the crowds that collected on the sidewalks, they resisted. loiter squads of from thirty to forty people came from all directions and gathered on the trianKle. The small squad was powerless and reinforcements were sent for. When about P) police, in charge of Chief of Police Janssen, had arrived the mob was charged. Under command of Chief Janssen the police drew their clubs and drove the mob in all directions. Those in the crowd had no intention of leaving the scene of disturbance and, after marching up side streets for half a block, returned armed with stoics and tnrew them at the officers. The mob finally dispersed. CONDITION OF THE CROPS. V Decline In Corn of Almost 20 Point Winter Wheat Good. WASHINGTON. Aug. 10 The average report of the statistician of the department of agriculture shows a decline in corn of nearly points since July 1, the average for the entire breadth being fi9.1. against S5 for the month of July. The condition in August, 1S!"J. was S7. The great decline is due almost wholly to the extensive and unprecedented'.' severe drought that set in since the last report and to the hot. dry winds that swept over the states of Nebraska, Kansas, Iowa and parts of the other western states. In some localities the crop has been injured beyond recovery, while in others timely rains would go far toward assuring fair yields. The averages for the principal states are: Ohio, 79; Kentucky. SO; Indiana, S; Illinois, 73; Iowa, 45; Missouri, 82; Kansas, 4D; Nebraska, 33; South Dakota. The condition, of spring wheat has fallen since last report 1.3 points, being 67.1, against CS.4 for the month of July. The Condition by states is as follows: Wisconsin, 79; Minnesota, 76; Iowa, 82; Kansas, 30; Nebraska, 41; South Dakota, 23; North Dakota, 75; Washington, 83; Oregon. 95. The advices as to winter wheat from correspondents and thra-shers indicate a good yieli of excellent quality. The condition of oats has declined 1.2 points since date of last report, being 76.0, -against 77.7 in July. The condition for August. is:3, was 7S.3. Hirley is G9.S, against 7G.S last month. Itice, 91.0, substantially the same as last month. Potatoes, S6.5, against H3.4 last month. Tobacco. 79.0, against 81 last month. STRUCK BY LIGHTNING. I.nrRe Oak Shuttered mi.i Seven People Killed.

A TALK WITH MRS. WALLACE

THIS IrIV LADY GIVES SOMR IX. TKRESTIXG REMIMSCECES. A Trip by Stnjje from AVnahlneton, D. C, to Tlila StHte (imphlrnlly II ecribed Mr. Wnllnre'a Hual.nnd Vh In CotiKreaa nil Cnat the Deciding Vote Hint Itro.mlit Into Prominence the Telegraph .Many 3Iemoriea of Other Dnya. No state In the union has produced more bright women who have done their duty in all lines of work than has Indiana. Strangers are amazed at the number of duties which Indiana women carry along without neglecting their homes. More than one woman has attained a national reputation, and several are known throughout the world. No woman has a wider reputation through her work In temperance than Mrs. Zerelda G. Wallace, whose seventyseventh birthday was celebrated Tuesday throughout the state by all organizations of the W. C. T. U. Mrs. Wallace, who has retired from active rlit form work, now resides at Cataract farm, a delightful place of 1,000 acres, and employs her time in reading and studying the social questions. At present the farm is being improved, and she is the guest of her grandson, Mr. James M. Leathers, in Morton-place. It was here that the writer enjoyed a morning in company with Mrs. Wallace recently and realized that if conversation is becoming a lost art among must women, Mrs. Wallace has the power to interest young and old, who love to listen to her regardless of the flight of time.. On this particular occasion the talk, which was wholly Informal, drifted on to great improvements, and Mrs. Wallace indulged in some delightful reminiscences. As an example of the improvements that have been made In the past fifty years. Mrs. Wallace related her journey from Washington to Indianapolis in 1.S41 when Mr. Wallace was a representative in congress. Mr. Wallace and t lie Kentucky delegation chartered a stag" coach which contained three seats and was swung on broad straps in a manner that made a person addicted to seasickness, ill. The party consisted of Mr. and Mrs. Wallace, Col. Cravens, representative from the Madison district, and a Kentucky representative wih h! wife, a grown daughter and a younger one. It was In September, and thscenery of the mountains f"l vall'-'y was at ils best, and the air crisp uul bracing. The party would start early in the morning, ride for miles, then stop for breakfast. If the scenery was worth a stop the party explored the neighborhood for sevcrai hours, or if there were nothing of particular interest th v went on. They had the same privilege that the mail coaches bad of changing hor.'-.-i-at each relay station along the national road, for that was the route of the journey. The trip lasted a week, and Mrs. Wallace declarer that rhe felt the beneficial effects of it in her general health for years. A Firm Reliever. Mrs. Wallace is a firm believer in the importance and responsibility of the acts of the individual, and thinks that each individual should carefully weiprh l.is acts and words. She is a great believer in working for reformation, but doe? not think it possible to reform the masses the work must be with individuals. The greatest events in history, according to Mrs. Wallace, have come as a result of the act of one individual. To illustrate this Mrs. Wallace related an incident, already familiar to the public, but coming from her it had an added interest. Mr. Wallace was in congress when Mr. Morse asked for a 10,000 appropriation to lay experimental telegraph wires from Washington to Baltimore. The matter was referred to the committee on ways and means of which Mr. Wallace was a member. Thrvote was taken alphabetically, and Mr. Wallace gave the vote which pranted Mr. Morse the appropriation. The scene was a very affecting one, for Mr. Morse wept over Mr. Wallace's shoulder with delierht. This vole, however, cost Mr. Wallace his seat in congress, for at the next election, Mr. Brown, his democratic opponent, declared the appropriation was a waste of the people' money, and made speeches relating to Wallace's "Tell-I-t5raph" vote. His speeches had great weight with the farmers, and Mr. Wallace was defeated. Mrs. Wallace was present on the memorable occasion when the first telegraphic message "Lo, see what God has wrought" was sent. The people were not particularly enthusiastic on that occasion, according to Mrs. Wallace, for everyone believed that the scheme was visionary an.l could not succeed. Mr. Morse always declared that the missing link in his Invention was an inspiration. He was leaning over the guards of a vessel going from Albany to New York when a sunbeam Hashed through the water tin der the bow of the boat and gave him the key to his invention. This, he felt, was a message direct from God, and he always spoke of it as such. "Unlike most inventors, who die before they see the result of their work. Ilr. Morse lived to see the success of hi:-'." said Mrs. Wallace. "On his eighty-fifth birthday they erected him a throne in .Vashington, and he sat there and received telegrams of congratulation from all over the world. "The social life at - Washington was much the same as it is now. President Tyler was in power but owing to a split in the whig party, the Indiana delegation did not visit the white house. Col. Thompson was in congress at the same time with Mr. Wallace, and Mrs. Thompson was there also. I was deeply interested in public affairs and was too fond of my hurband to care much for society. An Epiacopnl 9llaalnnnry. "To return to the great importance of every individual act," continual Mrs. Wallace, "when Mr. Villars drove the golden spike that finished the Great Northern and Pacific railway, which my father always said was the strongest band to cement the nation, there came to my mind the story of how he owed the great railroad to the foresight an.l self-sacrifice of one man, an episcopal missionary. When Fillmore wis president and Daniel Webster secretary of state, there was a treaty pending between Great. Lritain and the United States, by which Great Eritain was to have all the northwestern territory. This missionary was stationed at the Columbia river. He s.-tw the advantage to the! United Stateä in owning this territory, and though it was winter he took his pony and rode through the vast forests to Washington. He arrived at that city covered with icicles, and beggM Mr. Webster to withhold the treaty, which was ready for the president's signature, from the latter until the mlsFionary had seen him. Mr. Weitster promised to do so, and the missionary was granted an audience with the president at once. He made a strong plea, setting forth the advantages of the vast northern territory, and the pr?sMent listened carefully. Then he said: "Your appearance convinces me of your sincerity, no matter what I may think of your judgment. I will withhold my signature six months, if you will get a train across the great desert In that time.' The missionary hurried awiy and getting three others took a train across what was then considered an Impassible wilderness. "In the late arguments about the Hawaiian islands It came to light that Mr. Everts had advocated the purchase cf Alaska with a special view to controlling the islands and the shipping. I could relate many other incidents showing the important results that come from Individual acts. Life here Is embryotic for character building, and we cannot lav too much stress on the responsibility i f Individuals. I have räch ideas of our

nation In relation to religious and social progress that I believe it is the peeial care of God." "How rapidly electricity has been developed and utilized," said Mrs. Wallace. "I can rememlier whoii we had no matches and only candles for light. It t vk my mother all day to dip candles. The wicks were twistet! and dipped into a kettle of tallow over anl over again until l.y night they were about the sir.e of my finger. Then came candle moulds, which was a great improvement, and then coal oil. No, there were no women's clubs in those days, the household diys were so onerous that women were never through. My grandfather was a slave-holder, and my mother was the oldest daughter In a large family. Her mother would cut pairs of trousers for all the slaves and In the evening the girls would sew the seams. Women loved their homes in those days. I think the want of the coming generation Is home-loving women. The love for my children and home ha always been firFt with me and the strongest motive I have ever had to make anything of myself has been my love for my children. I believe in women voting, the rights of motherhood ought to b; impressed upon the nation. In proportion to the political freedom of th mm, American women have less of the same fred"m than the women of any country in the world. The women of Wyoming and Colorado vote. As we outlive the age of force women will vote. Women are not aggressive and as we have peace congresses and settle thing by arbitration rather than by force, women will vote. The worn cp of the revolutionary' period. Mrs. Adams and others, thought that women ought to be Included in the constitution, but they didn't say much. "How did I drift into public work? Well, I had never opened my mouth in public, not even in prayer-meeting, when Ir. Uayliss called a.meetin? of the women and citizens at Roberts Park church to see what could le done toward closing the saloons. I was on the committee to represent the Christian church, and step by step was drawn into the work. Then, when the Baxter law wa.s before the legislature we gpot up a petition, signed by 20,000 women all over the state, asking that no man be allowed to sell liquor in a. place wi'ihout the consent of the citizens. The saloon men wanted the law r?p al.d, and were out in full force. I waa selected to po before the leirislature and present the petition, saying that every woman over twenty-one -nould be allowed to say whether ehe wanted a saloon or not. I wis sitting on the p-Iaif-vm when lr. Thompson got up find said he wanted to please the women and to follow his ca ns-ience. bat he was there to represent his constituents. Then is flasliM over me, 'Why, am I not one of his constituents?' And afterward I thanked him. for 2'0 men had defeated H.-i.MtO wonu-;;, and It nu.le a suffragist of in - then ;;nd there." A Iirlli(iii Duty. "I think ih;t every wonkin who ins nor try to secure suffrage ru-clects her "hr:.-.:lan duty. As a nation, set to try thi-" race as self-governing, we shall never succeed until we get the volt-e of the .vhor. race. If 1 Wi-re an autocrat I'd pi:t votrs in the hands of women. Then 1 shouldn't allow a foreigner to vote until he had he?n here twenty-one years: f shouldn't allow a foreigner to hold oflice. and I fhould make education compulsory. The history of Europe and Asia shows that those countries have the best legislation which have th best education. "Why is it that women, especially women who work and then marry, become dissatisfied with their homes? Well, there is no money value put on woman's work in her home. She gives up her ?1" a week and her husband never recognizes it. Site gets her board and clothes, and she grows restive and wants to Ife earning her own money again. When m-m recognize that the marriage partnership is a business partnership also, women will be more contented. A woman should have an equal interest in hei husband's business. A gentleman asked me once what women had done for the state that they should be allowed to vote. I told him that a mother goes down into the valley of the shadow of death three or four times, and sometimes does die for her child, and if we count life alvve meat nnd raiment, women have done more or as much toihe state as men. But it Is a sad fact that women are growing more and mere !er.e to motherhood. Women love cas? and love society. Then women have their individual ambitions, and children interfere with these. The young people of today had rather have a large house full of bric-a-brac than to have a family. Formerly p opie who married did not expect much more 'than one room, with a shake-down for their guests. "I do not care much for works of pure fiction, but when novels deal with the ouestior.s of the day. with just enough story to them to ke-p th. interest, I like them. I enjoyed Mrs. Ward's 'Marcella' and Bellamy's 'Looking Backward.' The great problem of the day is that of an equal fcoeial standard for men and women. I was so pleased with the remarks of Judge Wilson in the Breckinridge case th-it 1 wrote him a letter. I believe that the moral philosophy of Jesus Christ should be applied to all questions of life, not as a creed, but as a rule of life for individuals with individuals, nations with nations and communities with communities."

Miss Citimaid (in the country) "Why is it that you country people, when you come to the city, always go to some theater that is presenting a play full f country scenes farm houses, fields, agricultural machinery, hay wagons and such things?"
