The passenger express train, bound west, was thrown into Platte River --the timbers of the east end of the bridge over the stream having been burned nearly through. The entire train went down, the engine turning over and the baggage, freight, mail and two passenger coaches piled on top.
The passenger coaches were completely smashed, and I was nearly the only one on the train that escaped unhurt. After getting out of the baggage car, I commenced taking out the passengers that were not killed in the wreck.
The following additional particulars of the terrible disaster are furnished to the St. Louis Republican:
The catastrophe occurred at Little Platte River bridge, 9 miles east of St. Joseph. The bridge was a substantial work of 160 foot span, and about 35 feet above the river. The timbers of the bridge had been burned underneath the track until they would sustain but little more than their own weight, and the fire was then extinguished, leaving the bridge a mere shell.
The train was bringing from 85 to 100 passengers, including women and children. They reached the river at eleven o'clock at night, and the bridge looking secure they passed on, but no sooner had the locomotive measured its length upon the bridge than some 40 or 50 yards of the structure gave way, precipitating the entire train into the abyss below. |

Quite a serious accident happened on the Peoria & Rock Island Railroad, near Milan, on Saturday. The train which left Rock Island for the East at 7 o'clock in the morning, consisted of one passenger, one baggage and four box cars. When about one mile and a half beyond Milan, the engineer spied some cattle upon the track a short distance ahead. He undertook to stop the train, but in consequence of the freight cars being attached the air brakes could not be worked, and it was impossible to stop quickly. Two cows were killed and the engine with three of the freight cars were different. The engineer named Andrew Banveldt, was severely burned, but it is thought his injuries are not fatal. John Repley, fireman, was also severely injured. The passenger coach contained several people, none of whom were seriously injured. The engineer was thrown off the track and rolled over upon its side, and is pretty badly damaged. Both engineer and fireman stood at their post until the crash came, and it is subject of wonder that neither was killed. The engineer reports that he was running about twelve miles an hour when the accident happened. Trains going east and west were delayed several hours by the accident. |

The names of the persons killed by the falling of a span of the St. L., K. C. & N. railroad bridge that crosses the Missouri river at St. Charles are:
JOSIAH MEAREN and JOHN SUMMERS, stock raisers, of Malvern, Iowa.
MR. HYDE, of Montana Territory, a friend of MEAREN'S, who was coming to St. Louis with him.
GEORGE BARNHART, a brakeman, was killed outright, and CHARLES IRWIN, another brakeman, died yesterday.
J. M. STRAYN, also a cattle raiser of Malvern, was in the cabbose at the same time, but hearing the crash of the breaking bridge, he sprang out of the side door of the car on to the bridge approach and saved himself, with only two or three slight bruises.
The cause of the accident has not yet been ascertained, but Gen. SHALLER SMITH, of the Baltimore Bridge Company, under whose personal supervision the bridge was built, thinks a truck or car got off the track.
Another theory is that the bridge was struck by lightning, a heavy storm having prevailed about an hour previous to the disaster.
The Coroner's inquest began yesterday, and Conductor KINLEY testified: The bridge was inspected a short time ago and pronounced in good order; that he has taken hundreds of much heavier trains across it; that his train was all right, not a wheel bring out of place.
The inquest will be continued today. |

On account of the interruption of the telegraphic service at Rochester, no information could be obtained until the arrival of the train from the scene of the disaster, with thirty-five people who had been wounded in the accident. Of this number many seem to be badly injured and all have been taken to the hospital. The train wrecked was that which leaves Rochester about 4 p.m., arriving at Zumbrata about 6 p.m. It was caught in a severe wind and hail storm which prevailed in that vicinity between 4 and 6 o'clock in the evening, and while running at a high rate of speed it was lifted from the rails. A gentleman who had been at the scene described it as one of the most horrifying railway accidents ever witnessed. Every car in the train was completely wrecked, and almost literally shattered to pieces by the sudden stop caused by the train leaving the rails burying the unfortunate passengers beneath the debris, killing and injuring nearly every person aboard. A gentleman stated that nine dead bodies had been taken from the ruins and a large number of those seriously injured removed to Rochester and Owatonna. At the time he left the work of extricating the unfortunate victims was progressing, and it was believed the number of the killed would reach a score when the final summing up was made. |

While running at a high rate of speed a west-bound passenger train on the Hannibal & St. Joseph railroad was thrown from the track by a broken rail and went through the bridge over Chariton river, near this city. The mail, baggage, smoking and express cars, two coaches, two Pullman sleepers, and the fine private car of President PERKINS, of the Chicago, Burlington & Quincy rolled down the embankment two of them going into the river. The mail, baggage, and smoking cars were demolished, and all are so badly damaged that the loss will foot up $50,000. WILLIE BALDWIN, the 5-year-old son of J. E. D. BALDWIN, of Los Angeles, Cal., was taken out of the smoking car dead and many passengers narrowly escaped with their lives. Two coaches caught fire, but the flames were extinguished by the heroic efforts of Conductor CALDWELL and M. TEMBROOK, of Carroll county. Many passengers were chopped out of the cars with axes, etc. |

Switch engine No. 27, of the Council Bluffs railway, was badly ditched about five o'clock this morning while taking a train of empty stock cars out of the stock yards. The train was on the western track, next to the Kaw river, and was in the rear of the Stock Exchange when a broken rail sent the engine flying from the river bank, breaking it up very badly, and pinning to the ground Thomas BOYLE, a yardman, who was standing on the pilot of the engine when it jumped. The engineer and fireman escaped injury by jumping. BOYLE was dug out after an hour's hard labor, and strange to say received slight injuries, the cylinder of the engine having kept the great weight off from his leg. His only hurt is a badly bruised foot, but no bones are broken. The business on the west track was stopped for eight hours on account of the wreck. |

Quite a serious accident occurred on the Iron Mountain Railroad, 17 miles below St. Louis, between 1 and 2 o'clock this afternoon, by which two persons were killed and several others injured. A special train, consisting of a baggage car, Pullman sleeper, and two Directors' cars, bearing a party of Texas and Pacific and Missouri Pacific Railroad officials on a trip of inspection over the former road, collided with the Montesano accommodation. Both trains were running fast, and came together on a sharp curve under a high cliff on the river bank. The crash was terrific and completely wrecked both locomotives, but neither train was much injured. Both engineers reversed and applied air brakes, but there was no time to save themselves, and they and their firemen went into the wreck with their engines. The special train had the right of way, but owing to a misunderstanding of the train dispatcher, MR. BURNS, the Montesano train was not ordered to wait until the special had passed. An inquest on the body of TOLAND was held this evening and BURNS was declared responsible for his death. |

There was a collision between two sections of ADAM FOREPAUGH'S circus train near Eddyville, Iowa, to-day. The section which was run into is known as the baggage train, and was made up from the rear as follows: Caboose, two box cars, and then the sleepers, Baltimore, Buffalo, Washington, and Detroit in the order named. Ahead of the Detroit were long heavy flat cars on which were loaded the wagons containing the tents, seats, &c. The box car next to the sleepers telescoped with the Baltimore. This sleeper was occupied by canvasmen and others. |

At 8 o'clock this morning, while JOHN ROBINSON'S circus train, in two sections, was coming into this city from Wahpeton, on the Northern Pacific Railroad, about four miles west of this city, a coupling broke and the rear seven cars of the first section ran down the steep grade into the engine of the second section at a rate of 40 miles an hour. The caboose and two sleeping cars, containing 160 sleeping men, composed a portion of the section which had broken loose. The engineer of the approaching train stopped his engine, and he and the fireman jumped and were saved, but had not time to reverse, and both sections crashed into each other, killing 5 men outright, fatally injuring 3, and injuring 10 or 12 others slightly.
The watchman of the train, trying to warn the sleeping men of the danger of the collision, was killed himself, refusing to desert, although aware that a collision was inevitable. He was frightfully mangled; his heart was found on top of a flat car some distance away, his bowels lying on the ground, and his body cut to pieces. |

During a dense fog this morning passenger train No. 4, bound south, and passenger train No. 3, bound north on the River division of the Chicago, Milwaukee and St. Paul Railroad collided at a sharp curve about two miles north of Dubuque.
The train going north was in charge of Conductor Wolcott, of Savanna; Elmer Winchester, Dubuque, engineer; Ed. P. Cummins, Dubuque, fireman, and John Pernetta, lately of Milwaukee, brakeman. The south bound train was in charge of Conductor A.A. Clarke, Dubuque; Charles Fales, Dubuque, engineer; Will Richmond, Dubuque, fireman; Robert Mimmo, Dubuque, brakeman. Train No. 3 consisted of two sections, the first being an engine sent from the shop here up the Volga Branch. Orders were received by the north-bound train to pass No. 4 at Peru, about five miles north of this city. The order from Train Dispatcher Fowler, at la Crosse, simply mentioned No. 3, and Engineer Winchester called Conductor Wolcottâ??s attention to the fact that both sections of the train should be specified to avoid accident. Train dispatcher Fowler was notified, and the order was changed, as was supposed No. 4 south-bound, passed the engine at Peru, and not being aware that No. 3 had two sections, dashed on toward Dubuque. The density of the fog prevented clear vision, and both trains came together with a frightful crash at a speed of twenty-five miles per hour before the engineers could set the brakes. The mail car of No. 3 was hurled down the embankment to the edge of the river, and the tender of No. 4 crashed into the combinations smoking and baggage car next to the derailed mail car, which in turn telescoped the first coach in the rear nearly its full length. Both engines were badly demolished, the mighty machines being merged into one shapeless mass of broken iron and shattered wood. |

JOHN ROBINSON'S circus train was wrecked at the Union Station this evening, and a pair of lions, a tiger, a leopard, and a hyena succeeded in escaping from the cages. The excitement was intense for a few minutes, but the animals, being of the circus kind, were more scared than the people and were easily captured. The train had just arrived from Fort Scott, Kan., where the last stand had been made, and its destination was Cincinnati, where the show has Winter quarters. The train consisted of 20 flat cars, carrying animal cages and circus paraphernalia, and 3 passenger coaches for actors and employes. A stop was made in the Missouri Pacific yards, and when the signal to start was given the train pulled out rapidly toward the bridge. As one of the front cars was passing over the "puzzle switch" it jumped the track, and the cars and cages in the rear dashed over it and collided with a freight train going in the opposite direction. |

The cannonball express on the Albert Lea route, leaving Chicago at 12:05 p.m., was wrecked at Ely, Ia., twelve miles from Cedar Rapids, at 2:30 a.m. yesterday. A heavy drift of snow stopped the train at Ely, and while the track was being cleared, a heavy freight engine with a caboose attached, ran into the rear of the buffet coach, telescoping it and sending the second or rear sleeper into the first as far as the toilet room and turning over the stove.
By prompt action of the passengers and conductor the fire was put out before doing any damage. The other coaches were jammed together, and the second engine converted into a wreck. The freight engine and buffet car were demolished. Every coach was full of passengers and all were jarred and bruised, three seriously, but none fatally. A driving snow storm was in progress, and the passengers thrown out of the sleepers in their night clothing suffered from severe cold. The train left Ely fifteen hours late. The names of the injured are not known here. |

The Wabash passenger train from Des Moines and a water train of the Ottumwa & Kirkville road collided four miles west of Ottumwa at 9:15 last night. Both roads ran over the Rock Island track from here to Comstocks, eight miles west. The collision occurred on a sharp curve, where the track runs close to the river and around a high bluff. Three persons killed and several others injured in the wreck. The night was frosty and the engineers could see only a short distance ahead. The trains were running at full speed. The engines were completely demolished, the Wabash baggage car derailed, also four O. & K. cars. H. E. PECK, the Wabash engineer, jumped and escaped with a slight sprain; his fireman was scalded to death; GEORGE MILLER and ISAAC BUDENSTEIN, engineer and fireman of the other train were killed and buried under the wreck. Several persons were badly, but not fatally hurt. The collision was caused by a mistake of the Rock Island train dispatcher. |

A double wreck occurred in the morning at a small creek, one mile east of the Milwaukee bridge, at Randolph, and five miles from this city. The accident was caused by the giving way of the bridge spanning the creek. Many cars and two engines were precipitated into the water, four men were killed and three badly injured. A little before three o'clock an eastbound freight train on the Rock Island railroad approached the creek at a high rate of speed in order to clear the way for the eastbound freight on the Hannibal & St. Joe railroad. The Rock Island uses the Hannibal track between Kansas City and Cameron. Just before the engine reached the bridge Engineer PETE WELTZER noticed the structure sagging nearly to the water, which was running into a torrent underneath. He shouted to Fireman SNYDER to jump. Before they had time to do so the train dashed on to the bridge and both WELTZER and SNYDER were thrown into the creek. They escaped with slight injuries. Five freight cars, loaded to their utmost capacity, then piled in the creek in an indiscriminate mass, splintering and mashing the cars, and throwing their contents into the water and on the banks. The engine No. 533, got over the bridge safely, but was bulled back by the tender, and stands upon end far above the debris. Y. ROYSTON, a brakeman, was on top of one of the freight cars which went into the creek, and was instantly killed, being mashed beyond recognition. ROYSTON was a married man, and lived at Elgerton Junction, Kas. Brakeman EDWARD C. ANDERSON was sent ahead to flag the Hannibal freight. He mistook the tracks, and walked along on the Wabash track in the direction of the Milwaukee bridge, and was run over and killed by a Wabash freight. (Siehe Fortsetzung) |

A destructive collision of freight trains occurred on the Rock Island, near Malcom, about midnight last night. The fog was dense, obscuring the red light, and the rear section ran into the caboose of the first section, demolishing it and several stock cars and badly injuring seven or eight stock drovers and trainmen. Among the injured were William and Elmer Myers, of Glover, Pocahontas County, both of whom are reported to have died to-day. Another drover named Rhoades, of Dallas Center, was paralyzed, and will probably die. A brakeman lost one hand in the wreck. Dr. Hanawalt, the company's surgeon, attended the wounded men. |

As the southbound Omaha fast mail on the Wabash road, was rounding a sharp curve a short distance from St. Charles, Mo., depot this morning, the train was derailed and five cars thrown into the ditch. Nobody was killed but several of the passengers were more or less injured, and all of them well shaken up. All the wounded and uninjured were placed on board the St. Louis accommodation, and are now on their way to this city, the injured being attended by physicians enroute.
The train consisted of a mail and express car, a smoker, chair car and two sleepers. The entire train rolled down the steep embankment while going thirty miles an hour. W. T. Scoop, of this city, had his right leg broken. In all about ten passengers were injured, but none seriously.
The names of the injured are: J. G. Crockett, Mrs. P. L. Pullman, Omaha, Neb.; Harvey Smith, and W. I. Schoop, mail agents; O. F. Guthrie, W. E. Sterns and L. Ross, St. Louis. |

The Chicago & Alton limited passenger train was wrecked at the Missouri Pacific crossing, a half mile northeast of Sheffield. The wreck was caused by a collision with the engine of a Missouri Pacific freight train.
The freight train, southward bound, stopped before reaching it, then started again, the engineer having the right of way.
Eye witnesses to the disaster said that when the Chicago & Alton crossed the Blue bridge it was running at the rate of forty miles an hour and made no effort to stop, but dashed through at full speed. The rate must have been tremendous as the entire long train was carried past except the Pullmans, the second one from the rear being struck about the middle by the freight and almost demolished.
Three Pullman cars left the track, rolled down the embankment about ten feet, smashing the cars and furniture. They were pulled over on the side until all the cars were clear of the other track. The track was badly torn up and the freight engine was a perfect wreck.
Engineer H. C. WELCH of the freight train and his fireman, when they saw a collision was inevitable, jumped, thereby saving their lives, as the cab was completely wrecked and in such a manner that no one could have been in it and lived.
The front end of the boiler was broken in, the boiler knocked off the trucks, the cab totally wrecked and the axles sprung.
The Pullmans were bottom side and so badly smashed as to be useless. Almost 100 people were in them, but not one was killed or even dangerously injured. |

Another train dispatcher was careless in the performance of his duty during Sunday night, and as a result two Long Line freight trains collided a couple of miles below Saverton in the early morning. The engineers of both trains had orders to run ahead, and supposing that there was a clear track were running along at the rate of twenty miles an hour when suddenly the flash of a headlight warned them of the danger. There was no time to check the momentum of the trains, and throwing over the reverse levers and whistling sharply for "brakes", both engineers and firemen jumped. Then came the crash, and two engines and a dozen cars were reduced to a shapeless mass of twisted iron and splintered timbers. The firemen were caught in the wreck and killed. The engineers and other trainmen escaped without serious injury. The names of the dead firemen are:
HARRY NELSON.
_______ SHOERS.
They lived in Keokuk, whence the bodies were taken last night.
Advices from the scene of the wreck report that the engines and cars are piled up in a promiscuous heap, and that some of the cars are so completely demolished as to be unfit for anything but kindling wood. The shock of the collision must have been tremendous, for the track is torn up for a considerable distance, and the heavy frames of the engines badly bent and twisted. The track was not cleared for the passage of trains till late yesterday afternoon, the north bound passenger train due here at 3:15 did not arrive till after dark.
Train Dispatcher I. C. DAVIDSON, located at Hannibal, is responsible for the wreck in giving wrong orders. |

A very serious railroad wreck is reported from Warrenton, Missouri, sixty-one miles west of St. Louis on the Wabash road.
Two freight trains collided just outside of Warrenton and both engines and 18 cars were wrecked. Seven men were killed and several wounded. Of eight palace horse cars, laden with race horses, en route for the Kansas City races, two were wrecked and seven men in charge of the horses are reported killed, but no names have yet been received. Fifteen horses were also killed and a number of trainmen injured.
The horses on the wrecked train were en route from Latonia to Kansas City to take part in the races. |

An error of Train Dispatcher DAVIDSON, of the St. Louis, Keokuk & Northwestern railroad, resulted in bringing a construction train in collision with a freight on a curve twelve miles south of Hannibal yesterday morning about four o'clock. Twelve cars were wrecked.
Fireman ARTHUR THAYER was almost instantly killed. He was found dead between the boiler head of his engine and the tender, having been burned and scalded by escaping steam.
Fireman BERRY NELSON was found wedged between the boiler and cab of his engine with boiling water pouring over him from a hole in the boiler. The special train, which left here as soon as the news of the collision was received, conveyed him to this city, where he died about nine o'clock. |

MRS. HANNAH DAVIS, Brookings, Dak., badly injured about the body.
The Conductor of the train, whose name was not learned, severely cut about the head and body.
None of the injuries are regarded as fatal. The wreck was caused by rotten ties breaking, so the track spread. The entire train is in the ditch. |

A most appalling accident occurred in the yards of the St. Louis, Kansas City and Colorado railroad Saturday evening, by which two men were mangled and crushed in a most terrible manner. A boiler of a switch-engine exploded and literally blew Engineer Barrett and Fireman Dougheney to fragments. Barrett was thrown more than 100 feet and his head severed from his body, and Dougheney was hurled up through a maze of telegraph wires and dropped back to the ground a lump of bleeding flesh and broken bones. A part of the locomotive weighing a ton or more was hurled 250 feet, and a tree standing alongside the track was split from the ground up. A part of the train which the engine was hauling was also wrecked. |

A frightful wreck occurred on the Wabash, St. Louis and Pacific, near Neoga, about three o'clock on a recent morning. The following is the list of the killed: JOSEPH BURKE, fireman, of Stanbury, Mo.; MARTIN ESKRIDGE, engineer, of Stanbury, Mo.; R. S. WILLIAMSON, head brakeman, of Macon, Mo.
The accident occurred at a trestle about three hundred feet long, which crosses a cut made by a creek through hills. The bridge is at the end of a curve so sharp that a person standing one hundred yards to the east can just see the end of it. The train, which consisted of seventeen loaded cars and a caboose, was just crossing round this curve from the east when the whole western half of the bridge was discovered to be a mass of flame. The brakemen were at their posts, as the grade is steep at this point, and the engineer reversed the lever, but it scarcely checked the train.
The engine struck the bridge and went down into the burning chasm fifty feet below, while the cars piled above it in a shapeless mass.
Brakeman WILLIAMSON was hurled against a tree and his skull crushed so that he died in a few minutes. Engineer ESKRIDGE was undoubtedly crushed to death in the wreck, although his body has not yet been found.
Fireman BURKE was found with his left hand pinioned under a girder, but otherwise unhurt. Above him was a tank of oil, the lower end of which was already enveloped in flames and he begged the conductor and the rear brakeman who found him to cut off his hand as the only means of saving him from the impending explosion of the oil tank.
They made a desperate effort to pull him loose, but being unable to do so finally started for the ax in the caboose, but before they could get to him the explosion took place, and BURKE was burned to death.
The bridge is supposed to have been set on fire by coals from an east bound local freight, which crossed the bridge about nine o'clock in the evening. |

A very serious accident occurred on the Southwestern about six miles west of Washington at 9:30 in the morning. Passenger train No. 15, which left here at 6:15 with Conductor E. A. STONE in charge and Engineer CHARLES STEVENS at the throttle, collided with the second section of freight No. 46. Conductor STONE had orders to side-track at Vincent, a flag station five miles west of Washington, for a freight. On reaching Vincent he found a local freight on the side track, and thinking that was the train he was to wait for , pulled out. About a mile west of Vincent is a very sharp curve with a heavy grade. Just as the passenger train reached this curve the freight came around it at a high rate of speed and before either engineer had time to reverse the two engines came together with a terrific crash. The passenger train was going at a rate of 25 miles an hour at the time. Engineer NORTON of the freight, and his fireman, SCHUNDERMAN, were badly although probably not fatally injured. The head brakeman of the freight, BROWN, was badly scalded, being thrown forward over two cars into the engine. Both engines are a total wreck and will never be able to go on the road again. |

No attempt has yet been made to repair the break in the Rock Island Railroad at the scene of the recent accident, every effort thus far being directed to the removal of the debris for the discovery of more bodies of victims. All the wreck has been removed, and the water has all passed away, but no bodies have been discovered to-day. The killed number 17, and the wounded 35. The bridge was over what is known as Little Four-Mile Creek, nine miles east of Des Moines. It is a little stream, generally quiet, and never before known to be as high as it was made by the unprecidented rain-fall of yesterday morning and the night before. The bridge rested on a stone arch, 12 feet in the clear, with walls five feet thick. The bridge is approached from the east round a curve and down a grade. It is thought the rails were left standing alone. As the train approached the engineer slackened his speed till he came in sight of the bridge, and supposing that all was right, dashed upon it. The channel of the stream was 40 or 50 feet wide, and the banks about 20 feet high. The locomotive landed at the foot of the western side and half buried itself in the earth. Barnum's car was next to the engine, and it dropped into the channel. The mail car followed, passing directly over it and mashing it to pieces, but going to the bottom, a bar of iron running clear through it. The men in that car escaped alive. Even the lamps were not put out. The first passenger car pitched down into the channel where the water was at least 15 feet deep. The next car plunged under this, telescoping with it; and the next telescoped half through both of the two preceding it. The sleeping car did not go into the creek. Its occupants were jarred but none of them seriously hurt. |

A little before 8 o'clock in the evening a party of twenty-two started out for an evening of enjoyment of the sleighing furnished by the recent heavy fall of snow. Of these nine are now in the morgue and nearly all the rest are in the hospital, only five escaping uninjured.
The party was made up of members of the Clover Leaf fishing club, a social organization of white men of the various walks of like. They were all in one conveyance, a large four horse sleigh. Starting out about 7:45 p. m., after an evening's drive, they went to the Delmonico, a road house near Forest park.
After partaking of a lunch the party reassembled at 10:30 for the return home. The drive was commenced with gaity[sic], but fifteen minutes later at the Sarah street crossing of the Wabash railroad it met a special train chartered by a local Legion of Honor lodge returning from an evening spent at Ferguson, in charge of Engineer JAMES A. BLANCHFLED, Fireman MURPHY and Conductor ROBERT DALTON.
The train was moving twenty-five miles an hour, tender first. Owing to this last fact the engineer did not see the sleighing party until fairly upon them.
The tender struck between the pole horses and sleigh, killing two of the horses and throwing the occupants of the sleigh in every direction. So great was the shock that two of the injured were afterward found on top of the cab. The train was stopped withing 300 yards of the crossing and returned to the scene, where the excursionists aided in gathering up the dead and wounded. By this time the mounted police of the district were on hand, and, taking charge, they ordered the dead and wounded placed upon the train. This was done, and all taken to the union depot, whence the wounded were taken to St. Mary's infirmary and the dead to the morgue. |

The north bound Texas express train on the Iron Mountain road, due in St. Louis at 7 o'clock this morning, was wrecked one mile south of De Soto early this morning. The wreck was caused by a broken rail. The ladies' coach left the rails and the sleeping car was thrown several feet from the track and turned over on its side, slightly injuring two passengers and three trainmen. The injured were:
F. R. NICHOLS of Greeley, Col., left side bruised and left hand badly cut by window pane.
W. McGREGOR of Flint, Mich., badly bruised and cut about the head and face. He is now at the Commercial hotel here under a physician's care.
T. H. HADEN, train-master, slightly injured.

But for the prompt work of the train crew in bringing the train to a stop the results would have been far more serious. |

Two persons were killed and seventeen injured in an accident on the Northern Pacific Railway at Janesville, Minn. The train consisted of an engine, a baggage car, and a sleeper which contained about thirty-five passengers, including the members of the Andrews Opera Company. The opera company was being conveyed from West Superior to Grand Forks.
At Janesville a broken rail was struck. The sleeper ran 250 feet on the ties and then overturned with a crash. The wreck, was soon ablaze, and how so many passengers escaped death is difficult to conjecture.
The uninjured and the railway men worked hard to extricate the less fortunate passengers. It was thought that every one of them had been got out of the wreck, but a closer investigation showed that MRS. ANDREWS, wife of ELWARD A. ANDREWS, proprietor of the opera company, and her maid, LILLIE WALLACE, were missing.
The sleeper was by this time enveloped in flames, and was burning fiercely. The fire was bravely attacked and subdued. The remains of MRS. ANDREWS and MISS WALLACE were discovered in an upper berth in the forward end of the car burned beyond recognition.
The position of the bodies indicated that the two women had been suffocated. No sound was heard from them while the rescue work was being done. The stage name of MRS. ANDREWS was NANNIE WILKINSON. She was the soubrette of the company and one of its principal members. Her husband was almost wild with grief. He had saved their two year-old child and supposed MRS. ANDREWS was safe. The situation of the rescued was pitiable. Few had been able to save any clothing, and with the thermometer at forty degrees below zero their sufferings were every[sic] great. |

A terrible accident occurred shortly before 1 o'clock Thursday morning on the Atchison, Topeka & Santa Fe at the little town of Revere in Missouri. The through California vestibuled express, due in Chicago at 9:30 [?] a.m., went through a bridge into a creek swollen by the heavy rains of the previous night.
When the accident occurred a severe storm was raging and the train was running at a reduced rate of speed. Near Revere is a small stream which the road crosses by means of a wooden pile trestle. There was an unusually heavy rainfall for several hours before the express was due there, and the little stream was swollen till it pressed beyond its banks. The pressure of the water moved the wooden bridge on its foundation until was out of line with the track. As the bridge was not washed away it was impossible for the engineer at a distance to see that there was anything wrong. The engine left the track and it and the bridge went down into the creek, followed by two baggage cars, the mail car, the tourists' sleeper and a Pullman car. The California sleeper, the last car in the train, remained on the rails.
The scenes immediately after the train went down were awful. The cars were all filled with passengers, dozens of whom were seen struggling in the water. Those who were unhurt at once went to the rescue of the others, and messengers were sent to Medill, a junction town a few miles away.
Seven persons, including a woman and her child, are known to have been killed, and a large number of other passengers were injured. |

The wreck occurred on what is known as â??Dead Man's Curve.â? A broken rail is supposed to have been the cause. The train was heavily loaded and had three Pullman sleepers attached. The engine, mail car, express and two rear sleepers held the track, while the baggage, smoker, two chair cars and the first sleeper were thrown from the track and all on their sides, except the sleeper.
The following is a partial list of the injured: M. SUMMERFIELD, St. Louis, foot sprained; GEO. M. GOODNIGHT, Sheriff, Cassville, Mo., head cut; H. D. HENSLEY, Marshal, Cassville, injured internally; NOBLE PERRYMAN, policeman, Redfork, I. T.; W. J. FRAZELLE, Tulsa, I. T., arm broken and hand mashed; J. E.

The eastbound Santa Fe passenger train which left Kansas City at 8:55 o'clock this morning went through a bridge between Camden and Floyd, forty miles east of Kansas City. The baggage car and one coach went through into the creek and several passengers are reported injured. it is said that the baggage man was killed outright, but as the wires are all down on account of to-day's storm it is impossible to get the details of the wreck. To-night the Santa Fe is sending all trains via the Wabash to Lexington Junction. The officials here admit there was a serious wreck, but claim no one was killed outright. Superintendent McClellen has gone to the scene of the wreck, and the wounded will doubtless be brought to this city to-morrow. |

A frightful accident occurred on the Great Northern Railroad at Nelson station, five miles east of Alexandria, Minn., in which eight men were killed and five were seriously injured. There had been a collision on the morning before at Nelson and a number of cars were wrecked. The wrecking train had been there two days and was making up preparatory to pulling out for the East. About 1 o'clock in the morning the wrecking train caboose was left standing on the main track with a number of cars. An east-bound freight was due about 1 o'clock and had orders to side tracks for the passenger train due there at 1:20. The fireman on the freight tells the story as follows:
There is a heavy grade west of the station, and as the freight with thirty-six cars, under charge of Conductor WILLIAM NICKEY and Engineer JAMES MALONEY, approached the switch, steam was shut off and brakes called for. There was no perceptible decrease of speed, and Conductor NICKEY climbed out of the caboose, where he was, and began setting brakes, but the speed was too great to stop. When within a train length of the caboose they saw the track was full ahead, and both engineer and fireman jumped. The engine struck the wrecked train, and threw the caboose on top of the next car, setting both on fire. There were fourteen men in the caboose. |

The St. Louis & San Francisco passenger train, No. 4, which left Burton, Kan., at 9:15 Saturday morning met with a horrible disaster at Lyman, a small station near Springfield, Mo., at 10:20 Saturday night, which resulted in the killing of Engineer MAX HALL and Fireman CHARLIE ROBINSON, both residents of Springfield, Mo.
The train which was made up of two sleepers, two chair cars, day coach, baggage and express cars, were in charge of Conductor GEORGE SMITH and left Springfield at 10:05 Saturday night about ten minutes late. In order to make up the lost time Engineer HALL applied all the steam and was rushing toward St. Louis at the rate of forty-miles an hour when the engine and train ran into an open switch at Lyman, crashing into the three stock cars standing on the siding, instantly killing the engineer and fireman and demolishing the engine, the day coach and baggage car and rendering useless a chair car. Fortunately no passengers were seriously injured, they receiving at the most a severe shaking up. |

The southbound passenger train on the St. Louis and Hannibal railroad struck a broken rail about two miles north of Silex and derailed the entire train, killing one person outright and badly injuring 23 others.
The train was running at ordinary speed, but the engineer did not observe the broken rail until within nearly 50 feet, and although the airbrakes were instantly applied, the momentum was so great that the train could not be stopped, and the engine, baggagecar and coaches left the rails and rolled down a 20-feet embankment. |

Five killed and a number injured at Melby, Minn. Passenger trains Nos. 2 and 3 on the Great Northern have had a headend collision at Melby. Both were running at a high rate of speed and came together with terrific force.
The point where the accident occurred is at the top of what is known as Pelican hill. Chief Dispatcher BUSKIRK stated that the wreck is the worst in the history of the system and five of the company's best men are killed. He also said the blame for the accident does not attach to his office, but at present prefers not to say just where it lays.
All the killed were residents of St. Paul. The accident is supposed to be the result of the west-bound trains passing the meeting point, which was fixed at Melby by special order. |

A head end collision that resulted in much loss of life occurred on the Chicago and Northwestern railroad between Logan and Missouri Valley at 6:30 tonight. The best estimates indicate twenty-seven dead and fifty-one injured, many of whom will die. The wreck occurred as a result of Engineer Montgomery, of the excursion train, mistaking orders. He was ordered to wait at Logan until the fast mail and the eastbound passenger train had passed. He waited for the passenger and then started out, having forgotten about the mail. The trains were going fifty miles per hour when they meet three miles west of Logan. Engineer Montgomery jumped and escaped with a broken arm. the officials of the road are very reticent, and information can only be obtained by courier and telephone. The two engines crashed together and in an instant freight and passenger coaches were piled upon the top of one another. Word was at once sent to this city, and in a short time a special train, with doctors and officers of the road on board, was sent out from Council Bluffs. |

W. W. ROSENBERGER, mail clerk, of Bloomington, Ills., was cremated.
EDWARD LUSMAN, fireman, of St Louis, was pinned under the tender body crushed and cooked from the waist down; will die.
FRANK LAUBER, engineer, of St. Louis, ribs broken and head hurt; will reecover.
The wrecked train was No. 4, eastbound. Following the engine was a mail car, baggage car, four coaches and three sleepers. Near Bonnette's Mill the train was running forty miles an hour down grade, when Engineer Lauber saw, apparently, the whole hilside [sic] 200 yards ahead, slide on to the track. He threw on the air and reversed and attempted to jump. The engine, tender and mail and baggage cars telescoped. Fireman LUSMAN was caught beneath the tender, but the engineer was thrown high in the air and broke his ribs by falling on the wrecked cars. The rest of the train was jarred off the track but not a passenger was hurt or even badly shaken. |

The St. Louis express on the Wabash railway which Kanss City at 6:20 this evening plunged through a trestle at Missouri City, Mo., five minutes after 7 o'clock, carrying down the entire train with the exception of the rear car, a Pullman. The gorge which a few hours previously was practically empty had become a raging torrent by the tremendous downpour of rain and the structure weakened. Seven persons are known to be dead and the list may reach twenty-five. There were twenty-five passengers in the chair car and only a few of these have been accounted for. In the intense confusion that ensued, it became impossible to extricate the dead or wounded.
The train known at No. 15, left the city at 6:20 p.m. and was composed of a mail car, baggage, express, smoker, chair, sleeper and two coaches for Excelsior Springs. The train made the run without incident until the bridge about two miles this side of Missouri City was reached. There is a wooden trestle on a curve which was built several years ago to avoid using the tunnel formerly used. As the train struck the trestle it swung out of line, being weakened by the tremendous volume of water that was flowing beneath it. The engine passed over safely but the structure went down beneath the mail car and the tender broke loose from the engine, fell off the track on its side. The mail car went down into the water. The express car followed, both falling on their sides, the chair car slipped down into the chasm and as the rear end raised up from the end of the sleeper it went up and stood on end, the lower and grinding and crushing the mail and baggage cars beneath it. |

The Chicago Great Western passenger that left St. Paul Saturday night at 8:10 was wrecked two miles north of here this morning. One person, the colored porter, RICHARD MANNING of Minneapolis, was killed and a number of passengers were more or less injured. The train was running over lowlands when the track began to settle and the train derailed.
Nearly all the passengers in the keepers were undressed in their berths when the wreck occurred. The rain was coming down furiously, lightning was flashing and thunder pealing.
The passengers were brought to Oelwin [sic] and were cared for, most of them taking the first train out. The damage to the railroad company will be heavy. |

The most terrible wreck in the history of Blackhawk county was that which occurred Saturday night on the Burlington, Cedar Rapids & Northern railroad, about four miles northwest of Waterloo (Iowa). A passenger train of seven coaches, including the mail and baggage cars, was wrecked with a terrible loss of life and great injury to many living. The cause of the disaster was a washout, due to a waterspout or cloudburst in Orange township. Crossing the railroad track where the wreck occurred is a little stream called Sink creek. The sand and gravel was washed out from under the track, leaving it unsupported for stretches of from ten to twenty feet. The rails and ties held stoutly together, and there was little to indicate to the engineer the insecurity of the road before him. All at once a lurch of the engine warned the engineer of the impending disaster. He and the fireman leaped from the cab, and by good fortune that can be counted as scarcely less than miraculous escaped with but slight injuries. |
