ANOTHER SLAUGHTER. Six Persons Killed and a Score Wounded on the Detroit & Milwaukee Railroad. A Passenger Train Delayed by Accident and Run Into by a Freight Train, The Atlantic Express Stops on the Main Traok of the Hudson River Railrond, The Conductor *Forgets” that An- other Express Train Is But Twenty Minutes’ Behind. Result: Dreadful Maiming of a Number of the Passengers. The Rallroad .Accident at Muir, Mich, 2 Spectal Dispateh to The Chicago Tribune, Grawp Rapms, Mich,, Aug. 29.—I have just roturned from tho scenc of a shooking dieaster on the Dotroit & Milwaukeo Rafiroad, 42 miles onst of horo. Last night's express, which should havo loft Dotroit at 10:40, left nt 11:05, dolayed by having to take two emigrant cars, which wore placed bohind the slosp- ing-car, a8 is gomeotimes domo on this rond. The conductor's name was FrankKnioll. At Owasso'it passed No. 18 through froight, which loft the depot three hours carlior, It usually passes No. 18 at Lowell, 48 milos woat of Ownsso. No. 18 was drawn by tho ongino Ontario, Honry F. Montruol ,engincer, James Bherman, conduotor. The expross which was due ot Muir Viilago, 6 milos oast of Tonin, at 4:80 &, m,, was approaching Muir, still twenty-five minutes lato, aa whon it left Dotroit. Ono and & quarter miles onst of Muir the drive-wheel broke off at the axle, and the train camo to o stop. Itwas thon ton minutos to 5. In fivo minutes moro it should have arrived ot Muir. Tho conductor sont Brakeman MeNeil to the front and tolographed back to St John to stop No. 18, but it had passed. Thero wore two other small stations botween St. John and Muir, but no night opera- tor. McNoil roturned to the train on a hand- car, with the section foreman, Isnao McMullon, Conductor Knill had sent Bnggageman Dar- voy and Brakeman W. P. Brown back to flag No. 18. It was foggy, ond they could not sce more than s hundred yards. "The flagman wont only o third of a mile, and waited at tho bridge across Btony Crook. Mc- Neil, roturning, followed the flagman. He or the conductor put torpedoos on the track, only 100 yards east of tho bridgo,—the customary fog-signols, Bection Foreman McMullon also went to tho flagmen, saying thoy had botter go on furthor. Thoy roplied: “Who is doing this flagging ?” Ho snid no more. This from my interviow with the partien named. Brows, flagman, told mo Lo walted thore fifteon or twenty minntes aftor McMullon camo before No. 18 came in sight. Engineor Montruol hoard the torpedoos and saw the flay signal, 100 yords ahoad, at the sumo time, and whistlod down-brakes, The brakemon quickly respouded. It is down-grado forty to fitty feot to tho mile into the valloy of the Maplo Tiver from Pewamo, & smell station 4 miles enst of whero tho train was llagged the last fow times. 5 Condensed from testimony on the fn- quost : The fact of & liesvy grado thoro is wolle kvown. Had wuot used steam for tho last mile boforo secing tho signal. Re- vorsod the engine, opeued tho sand-box while the fireman got up the brake on tho tender. Having dono all that wns poosi- blo to losson tho catastrophe, the engincor and firoman jumpod from the engine. Thora wero thirty froight cars, mostly loaded, mov- ing at tho rate of 15 miles an hour intho rear of oxpress outward-bound froight. Theo track was wet with fog, and the train could not be checked, but elid rapidly ou at tho rato of at least ton milos an hour, when it struck the rearof the oxpress. Tho engino, one of the Inrgost and hoavieat on tho xoad, drove into tha rear of an emigrant oar clear to the cab, tearingup tho floor, ralsing the roof, snd springing the eides, but leaving somo seats in tho forward end not misplaced. All the omigrants but two or throo at the foremost eud hod beeu alarmed, and cleared this car. Thoso fow remaining wero hurt, but not fatally. Tho noxt car ahend, also an emigrant car, igas totally demolished a8 it is possible to concoive, —mashed into a spaco of 8 foot, by my mensuroment, betwoen the eleoping-oar and tho engino. It in porfectly marvolous how soy ono cscaped alive. There wera fifty-fivo Germans nnd Swodos in that car, about thirty | romaining ingide. A Swedish family namod Hed suffored sovorely. The mother was thrown against & fonco, broaking hor back and ruptur- ing her bowels,—killed instantly. Hor dsughter, Tilds, 14 years old, had hor legs broken in soveral places,—died on reaching Muir, throo hours Intor, Another daughter, Salina, 10 yoars old, bled inwardly, andagon 8 yenrs old, both died at Muir in the aftorncon. Tho latter had his jaw and thigh broken. These four werostiil insido the oar that was entircly demolished. Elizaboth Eurchmonck, Austrion, lived five years in Now York, attempted to escape from tho front eud of tho domolishod car, with hor son, 1year old, had her arm ime paled against tho eleoping-car, and tho boards splintered into onde, all threo running through Lior body, and one through the child ; besides, a timbor mashed the childs' hoad through tho ond of tho slocping-car. Not s gasp of lifo remained in olther of thoso, Bix aro all that have lost thoir lives, and nono othera are fatal- ly injured. ‘The dosd nnd wounded woro takon to Muir in & box-onr by mnan-power. Tho dead were Jaid out in the warchouse loft ot tho dopot, nud the worst injured wore taken to tho Olmstod Hotol, whore the two Hod daughe ters diod. 'Tho noxt worst wore taken to Tink'a saloon, whoro Iod's littlo boy died. Lotta Hed, 16 yoars old, is also at Fink’s, badly Lurt, but will not die. Hor fathor and -yonr old brotker were not hurt, Othors, not 0 much injured, woro takion to private houses, TThe oltizens of Muir, espooialiy the dootors nnd ladios, showed overy kindnoss in the caro of the sufferors. Mrs, J, T. Hostlor, of Graud Rapids, or Grand Haven, a passenger on the ox press, and s bravo and helpful lady, rendoved ollioien solf-donylng sorvico at tho wroclk, T'hio sleeping-car was somowhat damnged. No porsons who romnined in that or cars ahend woro injured, IMulf tho materinl of tho domolished cur waa drivon with torriflo forco clear past the sleeping-car on the uorth side, shooting paralicl with it, nnd struck threo porsony who wera loap- ing from the rour of the pnesenger-car next ahead of tho slooping-onr, Whose woro Mra. A, T, Mcoars, Lowell, Mich., srm mashed and lungsinjured ; Orrin Burloigh, Ells worth, Mo, ribs broken, head out; Thomas W, MeDormott, Cannds, log. Evory ono romaining In the domolishod car, who was not killed or maro or loas injurad, foll nmong tho wreck and cinwlod out, "Xt was tho most miraoulous oncapa evor heard of. Among these were Mario Krolger, German; Anua Mnokolehor, Bwedo, soveial boues brolon, severely racked up. Others not onough luré to warrant sonding names. Intho roar car tho eongine ran into fifty emigrants from tho Danish Island of Ico- Inod, In charge of Pall ‘Thorlakscn, who camo from Icoland to Milwankeo o IBM ago, mot o colony of ono hundred and sixly firo at Quaboo, and left 116 in Ontarlo, Ho was proceodiug with thoso to Wikconain, Among iom wore twonty-nine women and clildren. ‘Thorlakson, a bright, sagaclous follow, says this in the firat colony of Tcolandors which hits come to America sinco "Columbus, Approhonsive of danger, he saw the hoad-light rushing upon thom, and shricked to cloar tho car, whioh was dong throub?h windowa and doors with the utmost agility. Nomo were badly hurt excopt Arika H, filmnrmn. IIo rowmains to re- cover. Thorost wont on to-night. ‘This afternoon Coronor Staley summonod a iury, as follows : Zopher_Bimpson, Goorgn W. Fronch, John McKoloy, John 8. Wagar, J. O. Probagco, N. P, Gardner, H. L. Garduer. L. T. Iver, attornoy of the Dotrolt & Milwaukeo Rail- roud, who happenod to bo on the train, apponred to mo rathor the gonius of tho inquest. W. 1, ‘Thomau, lawyor, was prosent in_place of E. M, Marblo, Prosecuting Attornoy of Ionin County. T'ho conduotor, engincer, fircman, and two brako- men tostifled in substanco ns condonsed abovo. Cortain citlzons of Bluir questionod to no pur- poso, Others were quostionad minutoly about tho position of doad and woundod. Thoso inter- esting flagmon, and the section foreman, whom thoy told to mind his-business, woro not ox- amined. The engineor testified that he could have stopped the train for cor- tain, it flagged, 1% miles furthor away, and'probably i£’ half s milo furthor, Judging from sll that was done, betweon the stopping of tho oxprosa and catastropho, thoro was timo for tho flogmen to walk to Powamo, whoro thoy would havo found n freight train _takin wood nnd wator. Isaso MoMulion, MoNeil, and Brown, desoribod above, told mo the somo about this,—tho ~ last__ two unguardedly, but Mcblullon willingly. McNeil oaid: “‘Oh, aro you a roporter? Then you must not publish “what I havo told.” *Why not? If you told the truth you have nothing to fear” Ho eaid: “You have no_ busi- ness ublish what I tell.” I re- pliod: it fs for mo b0 docklo 0 rofoined, If you put 1t in the paper, T shall contradict it." Told him that was his privilege. This was in reforence to the distance tho {lag- men wont back, and how long they stayod there, I walked from the' E‘“"“ of the disnster to tho bridgo over Blony Crook, whoro tho flagmen say thoy stopped, and the on- filneur and_conductor of tho freight an{ thoy ?ve walkod it eusily on tho tracl in eight min- utes, After the acoident, tho oxpross brakeman, Mc- Noill, walked to Muir, 13{ miles, awakoned tho section-foreman, who drossed, and got out a hand-car. _Both went back to the express. Thon McNoill was sont by tho conductor to Darvoy aud Brown, the flagmicn, and all compla- contly walted ten to twonty minutes, ns thoy :jwornlly ostimated, till the freight came toaring oug. Honry V. Stanloy, of Muir, Justico of tho Peaco, acting au Coronor, sdjourned the inquest to 9o'clock Baturdsymorning. Whoever runs that inquest has power to make as groat a farco of it a4 puch inquests have gonerally bocome on #uch occasions, It is porfectly np]{:\runt to any who sce the plain facts that anything short of sovoro condemuation for Inck of procaution to stop frolght trains will be mero whitewash.
