°° ° ? o> °° ° o KILLED IN A WRECK COLLISION BETWEEN PASSENGER AND FREIGHT TRAINS ON GREAT WESTERN. ‘FOUR DEAD AND SEVEN INJURED ‘PASSENGERS HURLED IN ALL DI- RECTIONS WHEN THE TRAINS CRASH. ‘MISUNDERSTANDING OF ORDERS ‘BY THE FREIGHT CREW THOUGHT TO BE THE CAUSE OF THE WRECK. St. Paul, July 28.—Four persons, @ passenger and three trainmen, were killed in a head-on collision between a passenger and a freight train on the ‘Great Western at Valasaty, Minn., at 5 o'clock yesterday morning. Seven were seriously injured. About thirty passengers, some of them women, were slightly hurt. The wreck is thought to have been caused by the misunderstanding of | wrders by the freight crew. There was an impeneirable fog at the time of the collision, and few of the passengers were awake. Both passenger and freight trains were running on time, and the regular place | of meeting was Velasaty. | Passenger Train No. 1 was coming to St. Paul in two sections, the second half being filled with excursionists from Des Moines. Orders were sent out that the second section was three hours late, and it is presumed that the conductor and engineer of the freight Reed the Order as meaning the first section, and went straight ahead withvut taking the sid- ing at Velasaty, figuring on reaching Hayfield, only nine miles further, be- fore the belated train reached there. The first section, however, was on time, and was going at the rate of forty-five miles an hour when it crashed into the freight engine. Many of the passengers were in the smoker, and, were hurled in all directions about the car, and some of them were thrown through the windows, while others I2y in a helpless condition be-| tween the wrecked seats, unable to assist themselves, and had to be pulled out through the windows. All were bruised, and many of them were badly cut. The two giant loco- ‘motives remained upright, but almost Telescoped Each Other. Engineer Markert of the passenger train was pinned in the cab and both his legs were cut off. His body was badly mutilated. Engineer Heliman of the freight met hhis death in a peculiar manner. The coal from the tender was thrown into the cab of the engine and Heliman was crushed against the front of the boiler and held there. His head and face were crushed. The coal caught fire and he was partly incinerated be- fore his body was taken out. Keene, the fireman, was hurled from the cab and fell unconscious so near the wreck that he was badly scalded by the escaping steam. Hickey, the fireman of the passenger train, was slowly being Scalded to Death ‘beside his dead engineer when he was ‘taken out. It is thought his injuries are fatal. Fireman Cogan of Des Moines and his wife and child were riding on a pass. He was going to visit his moth- er in Minneapolis. In the course of the journey he went into the engine cab to visit his friend Markert, and was killeed. Fred Horton, a passenger Dodge Center, was standing on the platform of the smoker talking to an: other man when the crash came. He was hurled from the car and fell a corpse to the ground. Strangely, how- ever, his companion remained on the platform, only his, hat being carried away. The passengers) who were injured got their injuries by being tossed about in the interior of the coaches. KEARSARGE’S FAST TRIP. Bar Harbor, Me., July 28. — The| United States battleship Kearsarge | arrived at Bar Harbor at 5:42 p. m., and dropped anchor in the upper hi thor at 6:13. Capt.

The fire oc- curred at 4 o'clock in the morning and the family barely escaped in their night clothes with their lives, Wiggins being away from home and only women and children being in (the house. The bolt struck a flagstaff and thence entered the roof. It destroyed the telephone and fire alarm connec- tions, and the residence was nearly destroyed before the alarm was turned in.
