DIE WITH HYMNS ON LITTLE LIPS I Children Singing Joyously sls They Return from Picnic Are Killed—-Their Tra.in Wrecked—Nineteen Dead —Many Injured.

Chicago, 111., July 14. Nineteen women and children were killed and 87 Injured, 40 seriously, in a collision between an excursion train loaded to the platform with Sunday school picnickers from Doremus Congregational church, Chicago, and a freight train near Glenwood, 111., at 6:40 o’clock Wednesday night. The wreck was the result of a misunderstanding of orders. The excursion train was coming north on the south-bound track of the Chicago & Eastern Illinois railroad when at a curve a half-mile south of Gienwood it crashed into the rear end of a coal train. The baggage car was telescoped and the first coach completely demolished. Both cars were filled with children and women. The party of 750 picnickers was returning from Island park, Momence. For the most part the passengers were happy childrenjandJtheir mothers. Some were singing and some were asleep when the wreck came. At the crash those in the rear cars of the 11-coach train rushed for the doors or jumped through the windows, many, being injured. Crash Without Warning. In front, the first two cars, crushed like egg shells, were crowded with dead and injured. The baggage car had been filled with romping children. The roof of the first passenger was rammed clear through it, pushing the y-ruelly crushed mass of humanity through the breaks in the walls. The first passenger car was torn to splmters. , Relief Hurried to Scene. Word was sent to'Chicago Heights and Gienwood and relief parties reached the spot 15 minutes later. The scene was a most fearful thing. Struggling masses of bodies could be seen through the openings in the cars. The dead and injured were packed in together. The dead were terribly, horribly mangled, heads and limbs having been served, and in the midst were the maimed and injured living. It was 15 minutes before the first body was taken out. It was that of a small boy, nearly every bone being broken, and was taken from the brake rods on the baggage car. The corpse of a little girl, as yet unidentified, was taken from near the baggage car door. There was no screaming nor wailing: The picuickers came to the aid of the workers who had arrived in iarge numbers. Eight physicians were soon on the scene. Then came the grewsome task of bringing the poor crushed children and babies out of the wreckage. Detached heads, arms, legs were passed out by the men Inside. They were laid under the cushion cloths in a line by the wire fence and a few r inches away the wounded were laid out. Physicians hurriedly dressed wounds and administered stimulants. Field surgery was practiced. Women and children were drafted into 'the work of relief. Car doors were torn roff and used as stretchers and everything possible that could be done was accomyjplished. Gut along the wire fences were laid :24 heads, and somewhere under the -.rough covering were the arms, legs and ttrunks. The sight was sickening. It seemed a grateful fact that families had not been separated. The lack of water (caused much delay and a dozen mangled little ones breathed their last under the scrub oaks on the seat cushions. Fifes were built to heat water. The farmers brought water in milk cans. The field hospital was operating among the piles ■of dead until eight o'clock; when the last bodies which could be found were taken ■out and placed on a special train for Chicago. Families Joined in Death. No mothers were seeking children nor children mothers. Both mothers and children who had been in the ill-fated cars had been killed. An hour after the

TRAGEDY IN BUFFALO. Member of a Grain Firm Kills Wife, Daughter and Self—Thought to Have Been Insane. Buffalo. N. Y., July 16.—One of the most shocking tragedies that ever occurred in this city came to light Friday when the dead bodies of Edgar T. ■Washburn, a member of the grain firm of Healhfield & Washburn, on the board of trade, Washburn’s wife and bi3 young daughter, Gladys, 15 years •old, were found in a bedroom of their home at 83 Putnam street, this city. Mr. Washburn had shot and killed bis wife and daughter and then turned the weapon upon his own head and hilled himself. It is believed the deed was committed while Mr. Washburn was suffering from a temporary fit of insanity. He had written a letter to a relative recently, saying he was having troubles in business. As far as is known the members of the family had not had any trouble among themselves. Big Shipment of Canned Meat. Minneapolis, Minn., July 14.—Advices received at Northern Pacific headquarters state that the heaviest order of canned meat to cross the Pacific has been successfully deliiered on the Pacific coast and loaded |iboard the huge ship Shawmut for transportation from Puget Sound to Y'okohama. The shipment consists of a rush order for 1,000,600 pounds of canned beef for the subsistence department of the Japanese army. It was handled : rom Chicago by the Northern Pacific in Special trains of 4, refrigerator cars.

wreck the'side of the track was covered with wounded and dying for a distance of a quarter of a mile. The mutilation caused by the breaking wood and smashing iron was horrible. Where the two wrecked cars stood was a mass of human, mangled flesh and bones. Those in charge of the picnic are loud in denouncing the railway company. It was a slaughter of innocents. The little children, who had been on the only outing provided for them for the summer, an excursion heavily patronized by the poorer people because of the cheap rates, were in the dangerous place. A3 the second car telescoped the baggage car the hundred or more occupants of both coaches were caught in the mighty crush. Witness Tells of Crash. A. 11. Bialcemore. who lives a few rods from the scene of the collision, was an eye-witness. “I saw the trains come together and with George Gerron and George Stanford rushed to them," he said. "The passenger train came down the grade at a fast clip, probably 40 miles an hour, and struck the coal train just at our house. I was eating supper at the time and jumped up and ran over. We climbed to the baggage cars and took out two children alive. One was a boy of eight with both legs severed and another a girl with both arms and legs broken. Others began to arrive at that time and we all turned in and started pulling out the bodies. We had a row of 30 dead and wounded on the grass before the physicians came. Several died after we had removed them. “It was the most trying ordeal I ever went through. The little things did not cry, even those conscious. They were so stunned by the shock that pain was not appreciated or felt, Twodead bodies we took out were those of a bride and groom, who \yere taking this trip as their honeymoon. There were two little girls among the dead whose mother is ill in a Chicago hospital and. who were with another woman. The woman was killed too. One mother, with four children on hoard, lost her brood, hut was unhurt herself. She stood at the car entrance and watched the bodies taken out, but never recognized them. Few were identified here. Cause of Disaster. In explanation of the accident the trainmen say that the freight train parted at Chicago Heights and the breaking of the coupling between the second car from the way car and the car in front of it was unnoticed by Engineer Hoxie until he had reached Gienwood. Then they declare the engineer switched his train to the south-bound track'in the belief that he would escape possible collision with' the excursion train, which he believed was on the north-bound track, and started back to Chicago Heights to pick up the freight and the way car. The engineer of the freight train said he had been given orders to switch to the south-bound track, and was delayed by the breaking of the train near Thornton. The passenger train had likewise been given instructions to go on this track, and was approaching the coal train at a speed of about 30 miles an hour when the collision occurred. Engineer Blamed. Chicago, July 15 —Engineer F. E, Hoxey, who had charge of the special freight train against which the live3 of 18 persons were dashed out, is being held in detention as responsible for the terrible catastrophe at Glenwood on the Chicago & Eastern Illinois railway Wednesday evening. Division Superintendent J. F. Russ, who is conducting the investigation into the disaster, has ordered Hoxey held in custody at Dalton station until called for by Coroner Traeger.

MAYOR JONES IS DEAD. “Golden Rule” Executive of Toledo Loses Brave Fight for Life— His Career. Toledo, July 13.—Samuel M. Jones, mayor of Toledo, died at his home Tuesday evening at 5:07 o’clock as the result of a complication of diseases. The immediate cause of his death was an abscess on his lungs. When this abscesk *broke the mayor was not strong enough to throw off the poison from his system and death resulted. The mayor had suffered for years from asthma, and this was the primary cause of his fatal illness.

THE POWERS DEFIED. Russia Sending War Ships Through the Dardenelles in Spite of Treaty. London, July 18.—The Constantinople correspondent of the Standard in a dispatch dated July 17 says: “Ths Russian guardship " Chornomoretz passed through the Bosphorus from the Black sea this morning.” The Chernomoretz is a gun vessel belonging to the Black sea fleet and carries two eight-inch guns, one six-inch gun and seven quick-firing and machine guns. She is equipped with two torpedo tubes and carries a crew of 160. London, July 18. —Almost without exception the newspapers this morning in editorials or otherwise comment upon the Russiah volunteer ’ fleet steamers passing through the Dardanelles, and the government is urged to take action especially for the protection of British commerce in the Red sea and neighboring waters. The Daily Telegraph, concluding an outspoken protest written with traces of government inspiration, says: “There is a limit to complaisance when neutral commerce under the British flag is molested in a way to which we have been for a century and a half unused.” London, July 18. —Official Russian dispatches admit that Gen. Kuropatkin’s army at Tatchekiao is menaced on both right and left flanks, and that Kuroki, is advancing on Liaotung. British ob J servers are astounded by Russia’s seeming inactivity. Either Kuropatkin is hopelessly enmeshed in the Japanese enveloping operations or he is confident of his ability to defeat all the forces Gens. Oku and Nodzu can rend against him. The situation can mean only one thing —that Kuropatkin will be attacked from three sides and that if defeated his retreat to the northward will be cut off by Kuroki, who will in a few days be in a position to throw his armies across the railroad. London, July 18.—Without a word of warning, Russian war ships are reported off Kaichow, bombarding the town recently captured by the Japanese, and apparently threatening the Japanese transports reported in the Gulf of Liaotung. There is more than a suspicion that the war ships are of the Vladivostok squadron, which was reported at sea more than a week ago. Mukden, July 16. —In the fighting at the right flank of the line of defenses of Port Arthur July 3 to July 6, the Russians drove back the Japanese and occupied the east bank of the Lunsantan and the heights commanding Lunsantan pass. The Japanese losses were about 2,000. Those of the Russians were insignificant.' London, July 16. —The Morning Post’s Shanghai correspondent, cabling July 15, says that the Chicago Daily News’ dispatch boat Fawan has been seized by the Russians and towed into Port Arthur. Liaoyang, July 16. —Gen. Samsonoff seriously checked the Japanese advance in the direction of Yinkow July 11. His Cossacks ambushed the Japanese column and put 1,000 out of action. The Japanese attempted to advance to Yinkow along the coast, but they were hindered by the marshy country, which also increased their difficulties in carrying off their dead and wounded during the retreat. The Russians had expected a movement in this direction and a company of cavalry with two guns laid in ambush in the high grass, catching the Japanese in the most difficult part of the coast road and shattering their advance column. The artillery fire of the Russians was splendid and the Japanese =were unable to make- an effective reply. They were forced to retreat.

Y., July 16.—The whole story of the murder of John Van Gorder and his half sister, Anna Farnham, at the Van Gorder homestead near Agelica on the night of May 3, was told on the witness stand by Guiseppe Versacia, one of their slayers.

Duluth, Minn., July 16. —Four hundred thousand dollars’ worth of property was destroyed Friday afternoon at the Omaha docks and warehouses owned by the Chicago, St. Paul, Minneapolis & Omaha railway, and one man. a cook named George Smith, on the tug Abbott, was drowned in an attempt to make his escape from the craft as ths flames swept over it with cyclonic rapidity from the docks. A Tragedy in lowa. Cedar Rapids, la., July 15.—Quarreling with the wife who had left him over a picture of a dead daughter, Sam Baldwin. maddened by drink, struck the woman several blows with his fist and then grabbed a razor and cut her throat from ear to ear. Her life blood spurted all over him as he ran past her to the door of the kitchen, and then he made a feSrful slasdi at his own throat with the razor. He managed to reach the front of the house and then fell upon the lawn, dying before he could be taken to the hospital.

SUSPECT FOUL PLAY. Body of F. Kent Loomis, Long-Missing Diplomat, Washed Ashore Near Plymouth, England. London, July 18.—A body, supposed to be that of F. Kent Loomis, was washed ashore Saturday morning at Bigbury Bay, Devonshire. The body was that of a well dressed man, five feet six inches in height, attired in a gray overcoat and dark blue suit. In the pockets were fouid a card with the name “F. Kent Loomis,” American and English coins, American notes, a gold watch, etc. The body, which was discovered by a laborer, was in a state of considerable decomposition. It was removed to a neighboring farm building to await the inquest. The police said that there is no doubt that the body is that of Loomis. Joseph G. Stephens, the American consul at Plymouth, was notified and after viewing the body said he had no doubt it was that cf F. Kent Loomis. The police, however, refused to allow the consul to examine the papers found on the body. These papers had been sealed up and the consul was informed that go Saturday afternoon, when at the coroner to inspect them. All the valuables found on the body also have been sealed up, including a ring which was found on a finger and which is said to be inscribed inside with the name of Loomis’ wife. The American consul has arranged that proper care be fatten of the body. Reports to both the Press association and the Central News assert that a further examination of the body of F. Kent Loomis has given rise to grave suspicions on the part of the local officials that Mr. Loomis met with foul play. The wound behind the right ear is described as being circular, large and clean, and it is thought that it was inflicted before death. It is surmised that Mr. LoQmis’ body fell into the water near the Eddystone lighthouse. Bigbury Bay is ten miles southeast of Plymouth, where the North German Lloyd steamer Kaiser Wilhelm 11. arrived June 20 from New York, having on board F. Kent Loomis, brother of Assistant Secretary of State Loomis. Mr. Loomis was missed at one o’clock that morning and has not been heard from since. He was charged by the authorities at Washington to convey to Abyssinia the treaty of commerce concluded between the United States and Emperor Menelik. Mr. Loomis traveled with William H. Ellis, of New York, who, in view of the disappearance of the former, took the treaty, which was found in Mr. Loomis’ baggage, to Adis Abeha, the Abyssinian capital.

BIG DAM BURSTS. Raging Torrent Rushes Through Valley in Vicinity of Scottdale, Pa.—Enormous Damage. Scottdale, Pa., July 18.—With the roar of Niagara, the new reservoir of the Citizens’ Water company burst at midnight Saturday and more- than 300,000,000 gallons of water rushed down the valley, sweeping all before it and inundating crops and wrecking buildings in its path. It was discovered about nine o’clock that the dam was in dahger of breaking, and messengers were hastily sent through the valley to warn the people of their peril. Hundreds of lives were thus saved, for a few hours later the whole valley was under water. The damage to the machinery and reservoir alone ’Will amount to at least 850,000. When the torrent swept down upon the valley buildings were torn from their foundations and carried on the crest of the great wave like so many washtubs. Crops valued at thousands of dollars were completely wiped out. Bridges were carried away. In tha gorge just below the dam huge trees were torn out by the root3 and stones weighing tons were overturned .by the flood. The new pump and engine, installed Saturday, below the face of the dam to pump the leakage back into the rservoir, were wrenchd from their foundations, propelled 20 yards from their original positions and buried under the mass of wreckage from the wall.

BUYERS MOSTLY WOMEN. Principal Customers in Men’s Furnishing Stores—Clerks Dread Their Approach. Women used to go past the aisles where men’s furnishings were sold with timid steps and averted eyes. At Christmas time they did grow bold enough to advance in schools on the neckwear and muffler counters and make splendid spoil of all grades and styles, but during the rest of the year the aisles of the men’s furnishing department echoed only to the voices of men or perhaps occasionally to the thick, sweet tones of some old-fash-ioned house mother who was bent on taking good care of “her man.” All this is changed now, says the Chicago Tribune. Women are fast becoming the principal buyers in this department. More than half .the customers are women and their number is increasing every day. The increasing dependence of great numbers of people on charge accounts encourages women to buy for the entire household, including their men folks. Then women have more time as a rule in which to do shopping and certainly in a general way women know more about shopping than men do. The clerks dread the. approach of a woman In the men’s furnishing department. When a woman leads her husband up to the neckwear counter with the triumphant intention written large on her face of buying him an "artistic” tie, the salesman is apt to sigh and square his shoulders for hard work. Perhaps the man will pick out a nice black satin with big red polka dots on it and then his wife will say: "O, John, red is so common! This black and white is more refined looking. Don’t you think so?” Or perhaps she will Insist on having the clerk examine the thread of green in her husband’s coat sleeve. “I want A gros grain four-in-hand just the color of that!” she announces. The clerk shudders. He must match that woolen thread in a silk tie! Only a woman ever sets a clerk such a task as that. The man who comes in with his wife to buy a tie is really a victim. He almost invariably gives up his own choice and buys what pleases his wife. Once in awhile a man will assert himself so far to refuse to buy anything, leaving the counter with the remark: “I’ll come back when my wife isn’t along and pick out something.” It is a rare man, indeed, who actually buys a tie that his wife frankly disapproves of —that is, while she stands at his elbow expostulating. One woman whose husband thinks he couldn’t buy a tie without her really doesn’t know at ail what is becoming or suitable .or her husband, but as she relies on the salesman she gets the credit of buying all her husband’s successful ties. But it is a rare woman who does not use her prerogative when she gets a chance. Women who come in alone to buy men’s furnishings usually know what they want and make good selections. Once in awhile a woman tries to buy underwear without knowing what size she wants; some of them seem to think the clerk can tell them the size of a man’s shirt by his weight or his age or even the color of his hair. There is one counter where the woman who doesn’t quite know what she wants is welcome —at the neckwear counter. She wants a “gentleman’s tie,” but she doesn’t know whether it is for morning wear or evening, a puff or a string. She is really the salesman’s delight, for he is sure to sell her something. Ninety-nine times out of a hundred even the most inexperienced clerk succeeds. All he has to do is to fix her preference. The woman they all dread is the one who has her mind ail made up to find some impossible combination of color, style and material.

But the woman who draws all eyes Is the young bride. She blushes. She is shy, uncertain. She is buying underwear or hosiery for her husband for the first time, and whether she is proud of the privileges or really painfully embarrassed, she is equally Interesting. Os course, the clerks make believe they think she is an old hand at buying masculine attire, although she is too preoccupied to perceive their covert looks of amusement. Besides being Interesting she is a good customer from a practical point of view, for she usually buys what the clerk recommends. The Japanese Baby. Babies in Japan are carried on the backs of their mothers, much as the Indian babies were carried in the days when the papoose was a more familiar sight than it Is now. Still, there is one great difference. The Japanese faces the front, while the Indian papoose used to look backward from his mother’s shoulder. The Japanese baby’s head Is shaved in a curious fashion, and never, under any circumstances, does the mother or the baby wear a hat or bonnet. Nor does he wear shoes, even in the coldest weather, but hla shaven head and his pink toes peep out from beneath his mother's garments, .and he rides pick-a-back, strapped on tightly—happy, chubby, smiling always and dressed, when he Is allowed to get out of the binding garment, in the most dainty of kimonas, all embroidered and painted and decorated with the designs which are supposed to typify the final trade or occupation of the infant. The Great Drawback. "The Bible says we should take a little wine for the stomach’s sake.” "Yes, but the trouble is that when we do that we always feel as If our hearts and livers and legs and other things belonging to us would get jealous if we didn’t take some for their sake, too.”—Chicago Record-Herald. ,
