Remember Lee when you want a good rifle or shot gun. Wm. Sigman notifies us to change the address of his Democrat from Wolcott,to Chalmers. As the “Halleck Telephone C 0.,” so called, (it has never 1 een incorporated) has failed to comply with the terms of the franchise granted it in Rensselaer and has been here two years without having been assessed one penny, it would seem that the proper tiling for the pity council to do would be to declare the franchise forfeited and older the “C 0. to pack it’s grip and get out.

Shetland, one mile west of Goodland. Dr. Robinson is now located at Remington, and the young couple begin housekeeping at once at that place. The doctor’s Rensselaer friends extend congratulations.

From what we are able to learn regarding it, we are constrained to belie ce that those publishers who are carrying the “Aural Clinic” advertising for the “Independent Advertising C 0.,” of Chicago are throwing away valuable space. We are surprised to see that several reputable papers in Indiana are carrying this adv., notwithstanding the fact that the liberal rates offered—about double regular home rates should have condemmed it to all publishers who have cut their wisdom teeth.

Regarding the corn crop in the Gifford district, we are informed by several good farmers of that region that on 'the higher ground the corn is generally good and weighs out well, but on the lower muck ground, while having the general appearance of being good, the corn does hot husk out very well and is light in weight almost beyond belief, it taking nearly double the bulk to weigh a bushel than it does of good hard corn. The potatoes grown there are also of very poor quality for table use and cannot be sold to Jasper county merchants who are posted. All potatoes now being sold by Rensselaer grocers are imported, notwithstanding the Gifford district is exporting (hem by the car load.

DEATH GUIDESATRAIN

And Reaps a Rich Harvest When It Runs Headlong to Destruction. PASSENGERS ARE DEAD BY SCORES Collision Wrecks an Emigrant Train and Fire Does the Rest. Frightful Dinanter Happens on th© Wabash, ami Probably Kills Everybody In the Wreck Hon « of Corpses. Detroit, Nov. 28. —-The latest reports from Adrian are to tlie effect ttiat there are eighty dead and 150 injured. of which twenty-five are serious. Fifty of the eighty dead were killed out right. Detroit, Mich., Nov. 28.—One of the most disastrous wrecks in the history of the Wabash railroad—or any other Michigan railroad—occurred at Seneca, Mich., a small way station about seventy miles southwest of Detroit, between 7 and 7 :30 p. in. yesterday. Train No. 13, an emigrant train, -with two engines, west-bound, collided under a full head of steam with train No. 4, east-bound, about one mile from Sen- ] eca. The result was that five of the | six coaches on the emigrant train were : crushed, and its load of human freight sent into eternity in a moment; while one coach on train No. 4, which consisted of a parlor ear, diner and a baggage ear, was also telescoped and four dead bodies have been taken from the ruins. No Person on the Train K*cape*. It is not known how many people there were cm tlie emigrant train, but the number of dead and injured will be over 200. Those on that train were caught like rats in a trap and crushed. Then the wreck caught fire, and those who were not instantly killed were slowly roasted to death, and none of the few spectators who hastily gathered from the farm houses nearby were aide to afford aid. The whole emigrant train was soon consumed by the flames, and every person on that train was probably killed. , Farm Hoti*eK Turned Into Morgue*. Farmers residing along the track rushed in on the blazing mass to res*i cue those whom they thought might be j alive. The bodies, hauled out of the | wreck were taken to nearby farm i houses, which are filled with dead, and a large number of injured were taken 1 to a hospital at Peru. Ind. Along the [ track long lines of burned bodies lie ; covered with blankets, presenting a gruesome sight. It may lie possible that the exact number of killed, or who I they are. will never be known. At present it is impossible to get any- . tiling resembling a list of injured or j dead from Seneca: WAS SOME BOOT'S Utl NDER. StTKE But Tlio-e Kenpniii.nile Met Their Pate in Their Own Lark of Thought. The tra< k at the point where the collision occiTvml is straight, and at first the officials <<mld not understand how the accident could have happened, but when it came out that No. 4 had orders to meet No. 13 at Seneca the Illume was placed on the conductor or eng}-, i neer of No. 4. ilttd tiiis train been j held at Seneca the accident would not | have occurred. Train No. 4 was due ■ at Seneca at 0:43. according to the | change in schedule, but orders to wait ; were disobeyed, and the probabilities | are that the true stojy of why will ; m ver be told, as the train crews un- | doubtcdly met instant death. Advices from tlie wreck state that ; the country for miles around was lightj ed up by tlie burning cars, and that the | flames could uot be quenched la-cause ;of lack of proper apparatus. Mangled I bodies were picked up along the track ! by the farmers before the special train j sent from Adrian arrived on the scene. 'ln some instances tlie botlies were mangled beyond all recognition. The bodies which the rescuers managed to pull from tlie burning ruins of the immigrant oars were so badly burned that their identity will probably never be ascertained. It Is not thought that any Detroit people were injured, as train No. 3. immediately behind No. 13. contained the Detroit passengers for Chicago. The loss of life is estimated at 100 on No. 13. The loss of life on No. 4 is said to be 25. Engine No. 8S of train No. 13 exploded, and engine No. ISOO on No. 4 turned over Into a ditch. Two firemen and one engineer on No. 13 were killed and the fireman and engineer on No. 4'B engine jumped and esesqied. As feoon as the news of tlie disaster reached Detroit a special train from Detroit carrying thirty-two physicians and surgeons started for Seneca and was given the right-of-way. When it reached the scene of the wreck the work was at once commenced succori ing the wounded, who had so far l>een attended to by all the doctors and physicians In Adrian. All the wounded were taken to Adrian.

NAMES OF SOME OF THE VICTIMS Only One of the I>«-a<l Known nt Detroit— Mo»tly Italian*. lii the long list of dead only one name 1« known here at present. This i« Miss Dido Dentined, of Tuppervllle, Ont. She was alive when rescuers reached her. and with her expiring breath said; “Notify William Mooro.” That was all. A special to The Tribune from Adrian gives the following | Detroit persons as among the Injured: : George Sweeney, F. B. Richardson, Mary Dolman and 11. B. Whitney. It
