A moment of forgetfulness or absentmindedness by a brakeman who is fciven the best of reputation by the Wabash officials tells the story of the Seconds that preceded the catastrophe. As to the facts themselves there is no^ room for dispute. Freight train No. 4, east-bound from Chicago, was due at .this point at 4:20 a. m. It was under orders to take the siding and await the arrival of the west-bound passenger express No. 55, which, according to the schedule, should have passed the Kingsbury depot at 4:40. The express, however, was an hour and twenty minutes late, and, owing to the heavy travel growing out of the World’s fair. It was divided into two«sections, the second section running twelve minutes behind the first. Both sections were made up at Buffalo, and the passengers included people from that city as well as from the various lines centering there from Canada and the east. With the knowledge that under the "schedule he had twenty mirihtes to spare Engineer Whitman of the freight

vaiu prutct-uoi arum tue suuu^ to tne main track to take water, the switch being- thrown open by Herbert Thompson, head brakeman of the freight. After the engine had taken water, the freight was backed to the siding and Thompson closed the switch. Regarding this latter fact there is no room for question, for at 5:10 the first section of the express, thirty minutes late, swept past on the main track, giving the usual signal, one long and two short blasts, to intimate to the freight that a second section was following close behind. What were the movements ot Brakeman Thompson in the next few moments remains to be developed. Certain it is that when t\Velve minutes later the second section of the west-bound express came thundering along at a speed of forty miles an hour, the switch was .open. ■ 2n the early dawn, the red lights at the switch and the target were hardly discernable, and it is a question whether either the engineer or fireman of the passenger looked for them, secure in their knowledge that week in and week out they had swept over the same ground without hindrance. Like a flash of lightning, therefore, the train took the siding, and almost before the engineer and fireman realized that they had missed the main track tiiey had crashed into the waiting freight. A second later and the air was filled with shrieks, groans, moans and piteous appeals for help and assistance. ' ' Jiie passenger train consisted of a baggage par, three ordinary coaches and two sleepers. The force of the collision was such that only the rear ■sleeper escaped injury. The locomotive of the freight was driven half way into the meat car it its rear. The bagegt^re car of the passenger train was r thrown to one side, while the passeji- ; ger coachgs partially telescoped each other and the third, a Grand Trunk coach, cut into the sleeper car “Kam sas,” carrying away the smoking compartment and sections one and two as clean as though they had beeu trimmed with a razor-edged axe. The two forward coaches were completely wrecked and the occupants buried in the de--bris. Awakened by the shock of tae collision, the sleepers in the rear palace car poured out without waiting to don -their clothes discarded the night before, and aided by the trainmen and those of the passengers that had escaped injury, set themselves to the task of rescuing and aiding the injured. In the meantime the residents of the ."farm houses adjacent to the^track had

been awakened, and men and women, boys and girls hurried to the scene and lent what assistance they oould. Most of the dead and injured were in the two forward day coaches, and these were so completely wrecked that the work of extricating the dead and dying was a comparatively easy one. One after another the lifeless were brought out of the heap of timber placed in a row on the west side of the track, while the injured were carried to the meadow on the east side and cared for by the villagers, who ministered to their sufferings and alleviated their pains as well as \he facilities at hand would permit. In the meantime news of the catastrophe had been wired to La Porte. Westville, Union Mills, Michigan City and other poin ts within a radius of a score of miles, and within a comparatively short time scores of buggies, wagons and vehicles of every description were at the scene. In these the injured were conveyed to the farm houses and residences of the neighborhood, the doors of which were, thrown wide open by the occupants, the latter devoting themselves to the temporary relief of the sufferers pending the arrival of medical assistance. One of the first to be taken away was Mrs. Bound}',of Iowa, who escaped injury, but. was prostrated by the shock of the collision. She was taken to the residence of H. P. Ellsworth, and upon being restored to consciousness plaintively inquired for her husband who had been seated by her side when the trains came together. From the description she gave of her life's partner his remains were identified among {he row of the dead and when the fact was gently communicated to her, she begged that the lifeless remains should be brought at once to the house, lienee the widow is lying prostrated in one room, while the remains of Jier husband rests in the one adjoining. The three boys French, llush and Evans, were on their way to Homes in the west tsvhich had1 been found for them through the aid of the London charity school, of which they had been inmates. . Two score men are scouring the surrounding country for Herbert Thompson, the brakeman to whose negligence the responsibility for the catastrophe is placed. After , the freight train had backed to its siding to await the passage of the express his movements were not observed by .any of the crew. WENT TO THE BOTTOM. Sudden Sinking c»f the gllaytlan War Ship Alexandre Pet ion. Involving the I.osa of Eighty Lives—Only One- Survivor Kf*maius to Telt the Story of the Olsasterly XEw Yokk, Sept. '23.—A report of the sinking of tlie llartian war ship Alexandre l’etion. was received in this city yesterday. All on board with one exception were lost. All told, eighty were drowned. Among the number hvere many prominent officials and diplomats of the republic. The cause of the disaster is unknown. The news of the catastrophe was brought to this city by ex-Minister to, Hayti J. S. Bunham, who arrived on the steamer Prinz William I. from Port au Prince. The disaster to the Petion occurred on September 6i, about five miles from Cape Tibert. The cruiser had just been put into commission. She left Port au Prince, September 4, bound for

San Domingo. She had on board many distinguished passengers, among them being Gen. Moline, San Domingo's envoy to Hayt'; L. Cohen, the Haytian minister to Mexico, and other well-known diplomats. According to the testimony of the sole survivor there was absolutely no warning. Neither collison with another vessel, submerged coral reef or storm can account for the occurrence. The day was fair, the wind was light and the passengers were enjoying themselves in the cabin. Suddenly the vessel began to sink. The officer on watch ordered the men to pass the word to those in the cabins and the forecastle to reach the deck as quickly as possible and jump overboard. It was already too late. There was terrible confusion in the cabin*as the panic-stricken people reached the deck, blocking the passageway as they did so. and preventing one another from escaping from what was destined to be their tomb. In one minute and a half from the time she began to sink the vessel was e ntirely under water. One sailor, as the ship sank under him, snatched a pair of oars from a lifeboat and threw himself into the water. He caught a plank as it floated by and looked around, but not a man arose from the whirling waters which engulfed the Avar ship. The sailor drifted for thirty-six hours on the plank with nothiigg to eat or drink, and when picked up he was almost exhausted. He was taken to Port au Prince. The disaster has occasioned universal mourning throughout Hayti and San Domingo. GOVERNMENT FIRE TOO HOT. The Rebel Brazilian Fleet Competed to Haul Off From Santos, NeW York, Sept. 23.—The Herald’s Montevideo (Uruguay) correspondent cables: News which was received here today is not as favorable to the cause of the revolutionists as heretofore. The rebel squadron, of which the Republiea is the flagship, which sailed for the south, intending to bombard Santos, Porto Alegre, and Rio Grande do Sul. has-been defeated. When they arrived off Santos tht guns of the Republiea and Pallas were trained on the city. The land forces were awaiting the attack, and the shore artillery replied with vigor. "’The fight was kept up for two hours, when the rebel fleet hoisted anchor and sailed to the southward. Desertions from the ranks of the revolutionists art: daily reported. The government is strengthening its forces, hoping to soon dominate the situation Advices received from Rio are more favorable to the rebels than those are from the south. It is reported that the citizens of the Brazilian capital expect that the city will in a few days be surrendered to Admiral Mello.

4 KOVEL PROPOSITION. Dr. Taira age Suggests a Celebration for All Christendom. The Nineteen Handreth Anniversary of tlie Birth of Christ—Some Questions and Ausvrers Concerning: It. In the Brooklyn tabernacle, on a recent Sabbath, Rev. Dr. Talmage startled and interested his congregation with a proposition for a world’s celebration of the nineteen handreth anniversary of the birth of Christ, lie took for his text: To us a ehild is born.—Isaiah lx.‘, 6. That is a tremendous hour in the history of any family when an immortal spirit is incarnated. Out of a very dark cloud there descends a very bright morning. One life spared and another given. A11 the bells of gladness ring over the cradle- 1 know not why anyone should doubt that of old a star pointed down to the Saviour's birthplace, for a star of joy points down to every honorable nativity. A new eternity dates from that hour, that minnte. Beautiful and appropriate is the custom of celebrating the anniversary of such an event, and clear on into the eighties and the nineties, the recurrence of that day of the year in an old man’s life causes recognition and more ■or less congratulation. So, also, nations are accustomed to celebrate the anniversary of their birth and the anniversary of the birth of their great heroes or deliverers or benefactors. The 23d of February and the 4th of July arfc never allowed to pass in our land without banquet and oration, and bell ringing and cannonade. But all other birthday anniversaries are tame compared with tlie Christmas festivity, which celebrates the birthday described in my text. Protestant and Catholic and Greek churches, with all the power Of music and garland and procession and doxology. put the words of my text into national and continental and hemispheric chorus: “To us a child is born." On the 25th of December each year that is the theme in St. l’aul's and St. Peter’s and St. Mark’s and St. Isaac's and ^all the dedicated cathedrals, chajfcls, meeting-houses and churches clear round the world. We shall soon reach * the nineteen hundredth anniversary of that happiest event of all time. This century is dying. Only seven more pulsations and its heart will cease to beat. The fingers of many of you will write at the ^jead of your letters and the foot of vour important documents, “1900.” It will be a physical and moral sensation unlike anything else you have before experienced. Not one hand that wrote “ISOt” at the induction of this century will have cunning left’ to write “1901”* at th§ induction of another. The death of one century and the birth of another century will be sublime and suggestive and stupendous beyond all estimate. To stand by the grave of one century and by the cradle of another will lie an opportunity such as whole generations of the world’s inhabitants never experienced, 1 pray God that there may be no sickness or casualty to hinder your arrival at that goal, or to hinder your taking part in the valedictory of the departing century and the salutation of the new. But as that season will be the nineteen hundredth anniversary of a Saviour’s birth, I now nominate that a great international jubilee or exposition be opened in this cluster of cities by the sea

coast on, Christmas aay. the 25th of December, 1900, to be continued for at least one month into the year 1901. This century, closing December SI, 1900, and the new century. beginning January 1, 1901, will it not be time for all nations to turn aside for a few weeks or months from everything else and emphasize the birth of the greatest being who ever touched our planet; and could there be a more appropriate time for such commemoration than this culmination of tiub centuries which are dated from ijis nativity? You know that all liistpry dates either from before Christ or after Christ, from B. C. or A. D. It will be the year of our Lord 1900 passing into ti^e year 1901. We have had the Centennial at Philadelphia, celebrative of the one hundredth amniversary of our nation's birth. We have had the magnificent expositions of New Orleans, and Atlanta, and Augusta, and St. Louis. We have the present World’s exposition at Chicago, celebrative of the four hundredth anniversary of this continent's emergence, and there are at least two other great celebrations promised for this country, and other countries will have their historic events to commemorate, but the one event that l:as most to do with the welfare of all nations is the arrival of Jesus Christ on the planet, and. all the enthusiasm ever witnessed at London or Vienna or Paris or any of our American cities would be^eiipsed by the enthusiasm that would celebrate the ransom of all nations, the first step towards the accomplishing of it being taken by an infintile foot one winter's night, about five miles from Jerusalem, when the clouds dropped, the angelic eantata: “Glory to God in the highest, and on earth peace, good-will to men.” The three or fonr questions that would be asked me concerning this nomination of time and place, I proceed to answer. What practical use Would come of such international celebration? Answer: The biggest stride the world ever took toward the evangelization of all nations. That is a grand and wonderful convocation, the Religious congress at, Chicago. It will put intelligently before the world the nature of false religions which have been brutalizing the nations, trampling womanhood into the dust, enacting the horrors of infanticide, kindling funeral pyres for shrieking victims, and rolling juggernauts across the mangled bodies of their worshipers. But no one supposes that anyone will he converted to Christ by hearing Con

fueianism or Buddhism, or any form of heathenism eulogized. That is to be done afterward. And how can it so well be done as by a celebration of many weeks of the birth and character and achievements of the wondrous and unprecedented Christ? To i such an exposition the kings and queens of the earth would not send' their representatives: they would eome themselves. The story of a Saviour's advent ^ould not be told without telling the story of His mission. All the world would say: Why this ado, this universal demonstration? What a vivid presentation it would be. when, at such a convocation, the physicans of the world should tell what Christ had done for hospitals and the assuagement of pain, and when Christian lawyers declare what Christ had done for the establishment of good laws, and Christian conquerors should tell what Christ had done in the conquest of nations, and Christian rulers of the earth would tell what Christ had done in the government of earthly dominions? Thirty days of such celebrations wouht do more to tell the world who CKnkt is than any thirty years. Not a land on earth but would hear of it and discusss it. Not an eye so dimmed by the superstition of ages but would see the illumination. The difference of Christ’s religion from all others is that its one way of dissemination is by a simple “telling,” not argument, notl skillful exegesis, polemics or the science of theological fisticuffs, but “telling." “Tell ye the daughter of Zion, Behold, thy King cometh.” “Go quickly and tell Ilis disciples that He has risen from the dead.” “Go home to thy friends and tell them how great things the Lord hath done for thee.” “When He is come He will tell ns all things.” A religion of “telling.’? And in what way could all nations so well be told that Christ had come as by such an international emphasizing of His nativity? All India would cry out about such an affair, for you know they have their railroads and telegraphs: “What is going on in America?” All China would cry out: “What is that great excitement in America?” All the islands of the sea would come down the gang plank , of the arriving ships, and ask: “What is it that they are celebrating in America? It would be the mightiest missionarymovement the world has ever seen. It would be the turning point in the world's destiny. It would waken the slumbering nations with one touch. Question the second: How would you have such an international jubilee conducted? Answer: All arts should be marshaled, and art in its most attractive and impressive shape. First, architecture. While all academies.of music and all churches and all great halls would be needed, there should be one great auditorium erected to hold such an audience as has never been seen on' any sacred occasion in America. If Scribonius Curio, at the cost of a kingdom, could build the first two vast amphitheaters, placing them back to back, holding great audiences for dramatic represenation, and then by wonderful machinery could turn them round \yrfh all their audience in them, making the two auditoriums one ampitheater. to witness a gladiatorial contest, and Vespasian could construct the Colosseum, with its eighty columns and its triumphs in three orders of Greek archi

teoture, and a capacity to Hold eigntyseven thousand people * seated and fifteen thousand standing-, and all all for purposes of cruelty and sin, can not our glorious Christianity rear in honor of our glorioujs Christ a structure large enough to ho-ld fifty thousand of its worshipers? If we go groping now among the ruined amphitheaters of Verona, and Pompeii, and Capua, and Puzzuoli, and Tarraco, and then stand transfixed with amazement at their immense sweep that held from -fifty thousand to one hundred thousand spectators gathered for carousal and moral degradation, could not Christianity afford one arcliitectual achievement that would hold and enthrall its fifty thousand Christian disciples? Do you say no human voice could be heard throughout such a building? Ah! then you were not present when, at the Boston peace jubilee, Parepa easily, with her voice, enchanted fifty thousand auditors. And the time is near at hand when theological seminaries, where our young men are being trained for the ministry, the voice will be developed, and instead of the mumbling ministers, who speak with so low a tone yon can not hear unless you lean forward, and hold yoifrhand behind your ear, and then you are able to guess the general drift of the subject. and decide quite well whether it is about Moses or Paul or some one else—instead of that you will have coming from the theological seminaries all over the land young ministers with voice enough to command the attention of an audience of fifty thousand people. That is the reason that the Lord gives us two lungs instead of one. It is the Divine way of saying physiologically: “Be heard!” That is the reason that the New Testament in beginning the account of Christ's sermon on the mount, describes our Lord’s plain articulation and resound of utterance by saying: “He opened His mouth.” In that mighty eoneert hall and preaching place which I suggest for this nineteen hundredth anniversary, let music crown our Lord, liri-fsg *11 the orchestras, all the oratorios, all the philharmonic and Handel and Hadyn societies. Then give us Haydn’s oratorio of the Creation, for our Lord took part in universe building, and “without Him,” says John, “was not anything made that was made,” and Handel’s “Messiah.” And Bethoven's “Symphonies.” and Mendelssohn's “Elijah,” the prophet that typified Christ, and the grandest compositions of German and English and American masters, living or dead. All instruments that can hum or roll cur whistle or harp or flute or elap or trumpet or thunder the praises of the Lord, joined to all voices that can chant or warble or precentor multitudinous worshipers. What an arousing when fifty thousand ioin in Anti

I octr or Coronation or Ariel, rising into hallelujah or subsiding into an almost supernatural Amen! Yea, let sculpture stand on pedestals all around that building, the forms ot apostles and martyrs, men and women, who spoke or wrought, or suffered by headsman's ax or fire. Where is my favorite of all arts, this art of sculpture, that it is not busier for Christ or that its work is not better appreciated? Let it come forth at that World’s jubilee of the nativity. We want a second Phidias to do for that new temple what the the first Phidias did for the Parthenon. Let the marble of Carrara come to resurrection to celebrate our Lord's resurrection. Let nculptors set up in that auditorium of Christ's celebration bas-relief and intaglio descriptive of the battles won for our holy religion. Where 'are the Cauovas of the nineteenth century? Where are the American Thorwaldsens and Chantreys? Hidden somewhere, 1 warrant you. Let sculpture turn that place into another Acropolis, but more glorious by as much as our Christ is stronger j than their Hercules, and has more to do with the sea than their Neptune, and raises greater harvests than their Ceres, and rouses more music in the heart of the world than their Apollo, j “The gods of the heathen are nothing ; but dumb idols, but our Lord made the \ heavens.’’ In marble pure as snow celebrate Him, who came to make us “whiter than snow.” Let the chisel as j well as pencil and pen be put down at the feet of Jesus. Yea, let painting do its best. The foreign galleries will loan for such a jubilee their Madonnas, their Angelos. | their Rubens, their Raphaels, their “Christ at the Jordan,” or “Christ at the Last Supper.” or “Christ Coming to Judgment,” or “Christ on the Throne of Universal Dominion*” arid our own i Morans will put their pencils into the nineteen hundredth anniversary, and our llierstadts. from sketching “The j Domes of the Yosemite,” will come to j present the domes of the world eon- j quered for Emmanuel. Added to all this I would have a floral decoration on a scale never , equaled. The fields and open gardens I could not furnish it, for it will be win- : ter, and that season appropriately I chosen, for it was into the frosts and | desolations of winter that Christ itn- j migrated when He came to our world. But while the fields wiU be bare, the j conservatories and hot nouses within two hundred miles would gladly keep the sacred Collesseum radiant and aromatic during all the convocations. Added to all, let there be banquets, not like the drunken bout at the Metropolitan opera house, New York, celebrating the centennial of Washington's inauguration, where the rivers of wine drowned the sobriety of so many senators and governors and generals, but a bapquet for the poor, the feeding of scores of thousands of people of a world in which the majority of the inhabitants have never yet had enough to eat; not a banquet at which a few favored men and women, of social or political fortune shall sit, b«t such a banquet as Christ ordered when He told His servants to “go out into the highways and hedges and compel them to come in.” Let the mayors of cities and the governors of states and the president of the United States proclaim a whole week of legal holiday, at least from Christinas day to New Year’s day.

isetore tne crossing oi time on tne midnight between December 81, 1900, and the 1st of January, 1901, many of us will be. gone. Some of you will hear the clock strike twelve of one century and an hour after it hear it strike one Of. another century, but many of you will not that midnight hear either the stroke of the city clock or of the old timepiece in the hallway of the homestead. Seven years cut a wide swath through churches and communities and nations. But those who cross from world to world before Old 'rime in this world crosses that midnight from century to century, will talk among the thrones of the coming earthy jubilee, and on the river bank and in the house of many mansions, until all Heaven will know of the coming of that celebration that will fill the earthly nations with joy and help augment the nations of Heaven. But, whether here or there, we will take part in the music and foe banqueting, if we have made the Lord our portion. Oh, how I would like to stand at my front door some morning or noon or night and see the sky part and the blessed Lord descend in person, not as He Will come in the last judgment, with fire, and hail and earthquake, but in sweet tenderness, to pardon all sins and heal all wounds, and wipe away all tears, and feed all hunger, and right all wrongs, and illumine all darkness, and break all bondage, and harmonize all discords. Some think He will thus come, but -about that coming 1 have no prophecy, for I am. not enough learned in the Scriptures, as some of my friends are to announce a very positive opinion. But this- I do know, that it would be well for us to have an internatonal and an inter-world eelebration of the anniversary of His birthday about the time of the birth of the new century, and that it will be wise beyond all others.' wisdom for ns to take Him'as our present and everlasting coadjutor, and if that Darling of earth and Heaven will only accept you and me, after aH out' lifetime of unworthiness and sin, we can never pay Him what we owe, though, through all the eternity to come, we had every hour a new song and every moment a new ascription of homage and praise. For you see w;e were far out among the lost sheep that the Gospel hymn so pathetically describes : Out in the desert He heard its cry. Sick and helpless and ready to die; But all through the mountains, thunder-riven. And up from the rocky steep. There rises a Cry to the gate of Heaven: “Rejoice, I have found my sheep:’’ And the angels echo ro und the throne: “Rejoice, for the Lord brings back His own:” —Eras of great culture and material prosperity hav* a very seamy side—as the highest mountain throws the longest shadow.
