The Details of the Fatal Reilway Smash- 1p at Creseent, The Bodies_of the Conductor and Enginegr Found in the Wreck, Ths Miraculous Escape of Others. The news of the railway accident at Crescent, about six miles from this city, caused no little excitement here, and a number of our citizens, besides Coruner Faul, Undertaker Connell, the jury, ete., visited - the scene. It was a horiible looking wreck. The engine lay in the ditch bottom side up, and badly demol- ished, while twelve freight cars were likewiso piled up and smashed and splin- tered, some being thrown over the ditch on one side of the track, and others on the other side. Next to the engine were two flat cars loaded with bridge timbers, 16 inches square. There timbors were thrown into a pile 12 feet or more in height. Then two car loads of fence- posts_were scattered about promiscuous- another car, but its contents were not damaged, The next car was loaded with barreis of dried currants, This car had struck the telegraph pole, kuocking it} down and burymg the wires uuder the debris, thus cutting off tele- graphic communication A cur load of stoves consigned to Council Biutlis were badly wrecked, while standing crossways of the track was & car loaded mostly with lass, *Then came one of buggies, not fiudly daaged, and several cars of gen- eral merchandise, The force with which the enginestruck the marshy ditch where it lay almost a complete wreck, was shown sumewliat by the fact that mud was thrown on to tne very top of telegraph poles, while the tops of the cars still standing on the track were covered with debris. The wreck of property, baa as it seem- ed, is of course not to be compared with the loss of life. The conductor of this freight train, Wesley Munn, and the en- gineer, John Mahin, were killed out- right, and their bodies horribly mangled in the wreck. Both were un the engine at the time, as was also the tireman, ' F. M. Bolinger, As the engine left thetrack at the switch, both jumped, one after the other, and the cars came piling upon them butying them so that it was some time before the bodies of either could be found, That of the engineer was found fivat, but that of the conductor was nou found until late Saturday night. The tireman was delayed in jumping off by other two being in his way, but just as the engine was going over on its side he jumpus from the cab window, the others having jumped from the gangway. He by some strange freak of good iortune escaped death or very serious injury, but received some bruises and cuts, being thrown with some force agamust the barbed wire fonce along the track. An old man named William Johnson was riding between the two flat cars loaded with the heavy bridge tenders He was buried in the debris, but soon recovered consciousness and crawled out himself, the bleud flowing from a wound in the head, but apparent- ly not seriously injured. l}u is a man over sixty years old, and was roaming around the country without means looking for work. On crawling out he had his sztchel tirmly grasped in his hand, but bemoaned the loss of his hat and coat, for which he began diligent search., He was afterward imugm to the city and sent out to the county house for treatment, A. P. Gring, a brakeman, was on top of the traiu at the time of the accident, and was walking along the top of the cars, toward the rear, as he felt the shock he looked about, and sceing the cars tum- bling into the ditch, he jumped off. In doing so he was badly shuken up, and it is feared that the shock to his spie may prove aserious and perhaps permanent, tojury. He was in an accident some two curs ago, and got his knee twisted so badly that he has not been able to rail- road any until very lately. This is said, in faet, to have been uufl' his third trip after having been laid up for two years, ‘U'hie head brakeman, David Johuson, was at the rear of the train and escaped injury. 1t was a great nervous shock to hun, however, and he was untiring i his work on the wreck, not allowing himself & moment's rest until the bodies of the unfortunate engineer and conductor were found, The body of the enginoer, John Mabin, was first found, and that was not until aftor several hours' work, 1t was broughe lock it. Larson himself is positive that he locked it, but it seems that he must have been mistaken in this, or else some one else unlocked it afterwards, — Dr. West, dentist, 14 Pearl street. Back Frem Linocin, Chief Templeton, of the fire depart- ment, has returned from the teurnament at Lincoln, and cannot say too much of the hospitable manner in which he was treated. By the published reports of the tournament, it appears that the chief was quite prominent in the judging and man- aging the races and being a good deal of o veteran in such matters, though not in years, his assistance there was valuable, and seems to have been greatly approciat- ed. The Council Blutis department was not in the races of course, but yetsome of the individuals from here won in some ot the special contests, In the 300 yard foot ruce Sidney Pete, of Council Biutls, won_first money, and W. Mitchell third, Charles i\'iulmlm and Jesse Wal- ters won the secoud prize for couple Time 4§ seconds, and that was d retty well, wh they had to compete th'the two Deere couplers from Mo- line, who scoop the world, and who at Lincoln in taking first prize cut the record down to 2§ seconds. - — Prairio chickens and A, Booth’s select oysters rozeived daily at W.

Some of the waterworks men are rais- ing ll(Yumu to buy a horse for a boy em- ployed by the company, and whose horse died a few daysago. The boy is only 16 years old, aud is working faitifully to support & widowed mother aud several younger brothers and sisters, 1t is evi- dently a worthy case for showing such generosity. Congressman Phssy received a tele- gram Saturday announcing the death of Hon. M, E. Cutts, member of congress from the Seventh district, and whose home is at Oskaloosa. The funeral ser- vices take place this afternvon. Mr. Cutts has been in ill health for several ‘cmn, and only returned a week ago from Mexico, where he hud been in the hope of improvement. W. A.

One of Council Bluffs' business men had the police hunting Saturday for a $60 check and two $20 bills, which he thought had been snatched from his desk us ho stepped out of the oftice for s min- ute. Ho afterwards found the missiug property, a gust of wind having blown it onto the floor, together with & blotting pud. which lay on top, hiding the check and money, 8o that in the search for it in the otice, it wus not noticed. The police smoke good cigars now, or ought to, Rev. A Rogers, who has filled the po- sition of Superintendent of the institu- tion for the deaf and dumb, hus been called to the pastorate of the Congrega- tional church at Dunlap, and will enter upon the duties of this new position so soon as his successor here gots well at work. Mr. Rogers, as a pulpiteer, is ubove the average, and s o man and pas- tor, canuot but prove a welcome addition to Dunlap. Ho has scores of warm fiionds here whose best wishes will ac- comoany him in the new ftield of labor, Mayor Bowman, in his message to the council last spring, recommended that sume arrangement be made with Mr, Cuarpenter, s landscape gardener of Gales- burg, to make sundry improvements ip Fuirmont purk, he having dono some ex- to this city, and after being cared for by the undertaker was sent by special train to Boone, where his home was. He was a man between 35 and 40 years of age, and leaves & wifo aud two children, ufilu is said to be pretty comfortably fixed tinaucially, and that he intended very soon to leave the road and sestle down upon a farm which he bought some time ago. 1t was late at night before the body of Conductor Munn was found, and it was terribly crushed by its being under the wreck, It was yesterday brought here, and then sent to Boone, where his heme wus also, Ho leaves o wifo and a daugh- ter, aged about 16, Both men were h‘h\ffi thought of by the company, very r ux r among their co-employes, and many friouds outside of railway cir- cles, . There is much difficulty in getting at ust who was to blame for the accident, ut it wppeurs that the switch was not locked. "The train whith was thus wrecked wus due here shortly before noon. It reached Crescent on time, and Was moving out at only 12 miles an hour when it reached the fatal switeh, in the south end of the yard, when suddenl: and without warning the engine duhm{ from the track sud the cars came piling, tumbling after, Mr. P. B. Palmer, the Chicago & Northwestern ageut at Crescent, says that he noticed the switch after No, 6 passed at 10:15 a. m., and it was then all oght, and lockid. After the uccident he fouud the switch open, aud the pin und lock lying on the head block, and this could not have been done by the train, He also stats that before the accident the section fureman opened the switch to xun & hand car of ties out on the main track, and this was the last that pussed over the switch before the accident. The section foreman, G. Larson, states that afier the hand car passed he locked the switch himself. A man named Gus Johusor says that he saw Larson close the switch, ‘but canont saw whether he locked it or not. A man named Pete Hansen also saw Larvon close the switch, but did mot so him put the pin in or cellent work in thav line at Galesburg, A lotter from that gentloman states that he will be hero at the fair, with views of work done by him and other exhibits, in which the vitizens concerned in beautify- ing Fairmont park will be mterested, W. R. Vaughan spent Sunday at home and returned to Dea Moines last evening to finish up his Herdic business there.
