w RAILROADED INTO ETERNITY, Peter Reuland Killed in a B. & M. Collision at Gibson. FIFTY OTHERS INVURED, An Engineer Held Responsible for the Catastrophe—Scene at the Wreok—List of the In- Jured Passongors, The Wreck, A terrible wreck occurred on the 1. & M. iibson, afow miles from Omahn, at 6:45 sdny evening. About fifty passengers wore injured. Two encines were complotely demolishod, and a chair car and combination conch were thrown from the tracks and re- duced to atoms. Train No. 6, the local botween Lincoln and Chicago, ran into No. 9. The formor was east and the latter west-bound. Gibson is the meeting point, and the place whare the crew on No, 0, which s a stub train that makes connections with the Kansas City ex- press, stops to register. Both trains are due at Gibson at6:45 p. m., but Tuesday night No. 9 was slighily behind. When the accident occurred the latter had just crossed the spur and the engine on No. 6 struck the tender, hurling both engines and tho two coachos from the track. The combination coach and the chair car wera both crowded with passengers, all of whom were more or Tess injured, while Peter Reulund, provriotor of the Tremont house, Sixteenth and Burt strocts, was injured 10 that_extent that he died shortly after being taken to the hos- pital. An engico and several cars woero sont out from this place and the victims were brought 10 this city for treatment. Tho scene presented on tho arrival of tho rescuing party has had no countarpart in this vicimity, Wrecks thore have been in neighborhood of Omaha, und many of them too, but they have almost exclusivoly coccurred with freight trains, The moeting of passenger trains, with such a resuit, had never taken place. The darkncss of mnight had almost sottied over_ the scene, In the gloom the debrfs assumed fantastio shape the outhines of which to distinguish requ.red the torches and lamvs which were stortly brought into use. ¥rom the overturned coaches came the erios of wjured ones, which roso above the hissing of the escaping steam, Some beneath the dobris were frantic in their agony, and rebuked the rescuors, who at seemed &t 100 slow 0 removo the weight which was _ pressing upon thom, To add to the horror, the chair car, after being overturned, canght firo ‘and for a time burncd w brilliancy and intensity of a funeral pyre. And wdeed such 1v threatened to bocom, because many of the injured passongers had not yet been removed from within its wall Withng nands, however, set to_ worl copious showers of water s00u sucee: extinguishing the flanics. ulany of the passengers were burned in addition to their other injuries, but those who had escaped comparatively safe, aided in the work of relieving their puin. The relief train bore mauy of the sufferers to the city, while n gangof workmen set resolutely to work to cloar up the debris. sxuct number of the irjured has not certained.

But without the mir brakes the engine wouid have protected the train. ‘Chus far I have discovered that nine of the passengers were injured, one case beivg futal. Throe employes were also hurt, No. 4 had but commenced to move from the water tank where 1t stopped for water.
