N N A DEPLORABLE CASUALTY. A Northwostorn Freight-Engino Acciden- tally Smashos Against a Dise abled Passongor-Train. Nr. John B. Watkins, Superintendent of the lowa Division, Instantly Killed. g Miraculous Escape of All the Principal Officors of the Northwestern 5 ¥ Railway. + A doplorablo acoldont ocourred on tho Jown Division of the Chicago & Northweatorn' Rail- way, oarly yesterday morning, resulting in the immediate doath of tho Company's Division Buperintendent, Mr, John B, Watkine, On Dlonday ovoning Inst, Mr. Albort Koop, Prosie dent ; Col. J, 1, Lowe, Goneral Trensurer 3 Mr, Darvin Hughitt, Geueral Buperiutondent ; .Mr. E. 11 Johuson, Chicago Maunger, and r.W. II, Terry, Divector, started on a tour of inspeotion’ over tho Galonn and Town Divisions. At Olinton, Xows, thoy woro joined by Mr. Watkina, On ‘Woednesday their spocial car was attached to the regular express train lonving Couucil Bluffs for Chicago at 8:15 p. m. "Whon within four miles of Codar Tapids, just bofore daylight -yostor doy morning, the engino became disabled, bringing the train to s stand-still on the mpin track botwoon stations. A brakeman was imme- dintoly sent back with o rod light to flag an op~ pronching froight train, Tho frofght englucor: saw the. signal, whistled down brakes, and ro- vorsed s engino, but tho recont falls of snow and sleot had mado the rails so slippory that tho hoavy train could not bo stopped in timo to avert o collislon. Mr, Wetkine had roachod the front: platform of tho ofticors’ car when it was struck by the freight engine. The conoussion was o ‘violont ns to broak off both the now Millor plat- forms of the car, and jom it tightly against tho forward Pullman sleoping-car. In this fearful jam Mr. Watkine was caught and instantanc- ously killed. Strange to rolato, although the powerful locomotive forced its way soveral foot into tho officers’ car, not one of tho ocon- pants was in any way injured, noither wos any car in tho train thrown from the track, As soon_ns mnothor ongine could be procured from Codor_ Rapids, tho train was ‘startod for Chicago, whero it arrivod yesterday afterncon sbout two hours lato. Mr. Hughitt, General ‘Buperintondent, romained at tho wreck to expo- dito clearing tho track. Tho doceasod officor wae highly ostoemed by the Company, in whose sorvico he had been variously engaged for soveral years, as Train Dispatehor, Agsistant Buperintendont, aud Supor- intondent. Ilo had cntiro charge of tho Iowa Division, comprising tho line from Chicago to Council Bluils, from Stauwood to Tipton, and from Clinton to Annmosa—s total of 430 miles. Ho loavos & widow and soveral ohildren, TATER. . Lator information from the scone of disaster odvises us that it occurred at the bottom of o tolerably hoavy grado. One oylinder of the on- gino: gavo out somo little time boforo, ond, though it wass powoerful onough to Baul tho train down grado, it booamo stallod in tho hollow, Immedintely the engincor sounded tho whistle, and tho couductor sent n brakeman ‘back with a red light. This man claims that ho xan all tho way, » long distance, until ho mot the advancing froight; but tho grade was 58 feot to the mile, tho track slippory ns oil, and_althongh ho reversod his engino nnd had every brake sat, tho collision was inovitablo, At this momen! r. Watling awoke, and looking out of the rear window and soeing tho headuight of the coming locomotive, he turned and ran forward through tho car, shouting, *‘ Every one of you get out of this car.” ‘I'heso wero his lnst words; but they owoke all tho sleeping officors. M. Johnaon, Chief Engincer, instantly turned out of his borth and followed Mr, Watkins. Mr. Keep, President, camo third, and in his efforts to ronch the for- ward slooplug car recoived Lnlf & dozon or moro slight bruiscs on Lis extremities. They are not gerious, howover, and ouly lame hima littlo, Mr, Hughitt, Gonoral Suporintendent, in the confusion, turned round and went to tho rear of tho car, 'Tloir oscapo seems to havo boon mirnculous, ind thoy nll followed. closo upon Mr. Watkins each of the officers would doubtless have haved his fato. Ho was caught between tho cars on the platform before ho could juwmp, a8 ho was intending to do. The splondid Miller platform _on the offcors' cor enved thofr lives beyond uny _question. thoy had ~ yomoined In tholr bortha, all of thom would have been unbarmed. Buch was tho connteracting power of tho plat-- forms that tho disabled engine was not pushed forward an inch, Mr. Wutkive, we are informed, had, only throe weoks ago, insured his lifo’ for £5,000, which amount the ngont of the insurance com- pany yestordny exprossed his intontion of hav- ng immediatoly prid to the bereaved family. * ANOTHER ACCIDENT. A fow._days since auother distressing accldont ocenrred on tle Madison Division of the Chien- B0 & Northwestern Railway, Tho draw-bridge over the Wirconsin River at Merrimac is attend- ed by two men. After dark the whistlo gt s tug was hiard by oo of iho bridgo- tendors, Fearing lest ho should bo too Inte, the man rushed out of his house andran toward his poat. Meantimo his associate at the othe er cnd of the bridge bad already reach- ed tho {urn-table oud ewung tho bridge open, but neglected to hoist the cnutionary sig- pal, 'Socing no warning, his unfortunate co-la- borer hurried n‘uthh‘.\klfig‘ on, fell over the brink, and was killed, o train beon coming tho result would bave been horrible to contem- plata. No signal was displayed, oud in the dark- gess an engineor could uot have foreseen the danger. The docensed loft a widow and half a iozen smali children, and, to increnso hor trou: bles, tho boreaved woman is on the ove of being 3eliverod of anothor child.

But he was wrong, and the errorwas fatal. Ho lived sevon hours, and then diod ; but, during those seven dying hours, tho young horo observed, with sciontifio exact- noss, the effccts and progross of the discase upon Lim, and ono oftor snothor ha noted his obstrvations down, until within the very half- hour whon the spirit left tho body, Those notosare pronounced to have the highest value, and will sorve the Commission with now facts of tho first importance ; and so tho dying legacy of Otto Obormoir may, after all, load to the victory which he condemued himeelf to solf-dostruction in tryiug to achicve. —_—— Al Hands Bulow,??
