The ne at the Wreck. All morning tho scene ubout the wreck was an animated one. Throngs of curious sightseers, mon and women auxiously mquir- g for friends, reporters, policemen and sur- geons passed busily to and fro. Tne patrol wagon with SergoantWhalen and a squad of policemen appeared early on the scene to offer what assistance they could, and Coros mer Harrigan eud an undertak- ers' wagon were present. in front of the cottago where the wounded luy the sidewalk was lined with carriages sleighs and other vehicles, all ready and willing to assist in removing the wounded to their homes. A wrecking train was brought out from the city and procoeded to clear up the wreckage, Splintered beams, broken trucks and car platforms lined tho track on hoth sides. The coaches, with broken win- dows, and ends torn aud swashed topieoes, wore strewn with the remnants of lunches, which vagrant dogs snarled over, dinner pails and newspapers discardedn_the panic. The battered freight_engine with smoko stack and pilot gono and & huse car beam driven through the front of the boiler was pulled on to a side track, and the steam and amoko from her firo box curled Juzily in the trosty air. The now useless pussenger on- Rine was run down to the round house by “Daisy Dean” and her fire banied. The Dead Man. William Boyle, who wus kitled, was some- ‘what of a local politician in the north part of the city, and a barber by trade, working av 1022 Sherman avenue. He and his wife have ‘been taking charge of the depot at Druid Hill for a month or more, he going to his work every morning ana returning at night. He was a mun of about forty years of age, and slightly lame, He leaves a wife only, His right shoulder wus crushed and man- gled, a gaping wound, evidently made with \large splinter of broken wood, was in his throat, and the back of his skull was crushed, For a long while no one had the courage to acquaint his wife with the fact of his death, ulthough she was only about ®six minntes walk away. At last & brave little lady who was helping take care of the wounded volunteered to go and break the sad news, The scene was pitiful in the extreme when the young wife learned of her bereavement. She is prostrated by the shock, Shortly before this an uninjured passenger, who knew of Boylc's death, i: ed the depot on hig home to assure is own wife of his safety, was hailed by Mrs. Hoyle, who said, “Oh, [ am so afrasd he's hurt, he doesn’t coms,” and tho soft hearted pussengor hadn't the courage to break the news. Mr. Boyle has a brotuer, J. F. Boyle, at Arvorville, Neb,, and a sister, Mrs. Bryant, nt Hebron, Neb,, who have been notified of the sad affair. He was also a member of the Knights of T.abor, who will take charge of the funeral.

The cottage, 2552 Shaller street, which so hospitably threw open its doors to the wounded is the residenco of Mrs. Jacob Laux, Here everything that could relieve the ering was speedily doue by the will- ing hands of the kind heartea ladies in the neighborhood. r Harvey reclined in Mrs. Denig's cot~ tage next door, where every thing vossible uuder the ciroumstances was done for him, Neighvors brought in comforts and pillows and Kettles of hot water, aua everyone secmed to be anxious to render all the as- sistance possible.

DAISY DEAY. ‘Uaiay™ Dean the engineer of the passen ger engine, 18 a man loog in the employ of the Missouri Pacific, and known to be a care- ful and experienced engineer, Ho was asked as to the cause of the acci- dont and said, *“*We were about ten minutes lute and [ was teying to keep out of the way of the freight but the track was shippery and thogengine could not do its work porly. At Miltlars I looked back ana saw the froight cngine coming down the graae, uround the curve. There is a succession of curves here, one beyond Druid hill, which conceals an approaching train, Just this side of Druid hill 18 anothor curve on a down grade. When I saw tho train 8o near me [ threw the throttle wide open, but the wheels would not catch the rails. The eagineor of the fraight whistied for brakes, but they would not nold. 1 don't think he was to blame for the collision. THE TRAIN WAS LATE. A gentleman connected with the Omaha Cofin factory, said, *'I looked out of the of- floe window as the passenger train pulled in and saw the engineer looking back, he then gave a warniog whistlonnd I saw bim throw the throttle wide open. At this instant I heard the sound of anothor train appronch- ing and looking out the other window saw tho froight sliding rapidly down the grade. Then the crash came, the froight engine plowing into tho bagge compartment of the smoker and pushing the train rapidly forward. 1 ran out on thotrack and saw the £ “lho passonger train was lato and the wheols of the engino spun around when the engineer started her up,” SHE'S GOING TO STRIKE US." One of the uninjured passcugers who lives at Druid hill, said: *‘The train was about eight or ten minutes late this morning, and ien she pulled in the usual crowd of joily young follows who usually go into wwu on her, and who are neighbors and {riends, took their usual seats in little par- ties 1n the smoking car, At the next station, Millars, we stopped to let on & couple of pas- songers, and just as we were starting we heurd the whistie blowing and **Billy" Shields jumped into the car and said, *She's woing tc striko us, boys. Keep insude, don't £0 out on tho platform. We jumped to_our feet and started to the forward part of the car, standing in the aisle and hanging on to the seats. The car swayed from side to side, and bumped over thie ties, then she left the track and we were thrown in a heap at the end of the car. I, fortunately was uninjured, and we av once began to help the injured who were groan- ing and erying for help. 1 was pretty badly shooked, aud now that the excitement is overbegin to realize that Iam pretty well bruised and sore.” P, H. MEEHAN, the conductor of the freight train, was asked if he first saw the passenger train when he ‘was rounding the curue.” He said: “1did not seg the suburban around the curve there was 80 much steam and smoke. 1 heard the whistle for down brakes, but be- fore that the rear brakema Mer- cer, had applied the brakes to the eaboose bocause wo were going down grade, When the engine put her over, it BROKE THE LINK between the train and tho caboose, and wo fell bebind. When the train stopped we wera about thirty car lengths benind. Yes, I felt the shock when the engineer re- versed.” ‘‘How long after the suburban train had left West Side did you pull out?” ‘L expect it was the regular time, ahout ten minutes. Wo pulled outof theside track and closed the switch. The suburban train must have got to Walnut Hill before we got the switch closed.” “How far is it vo Walnut Hill from West Sidet" **About three or four miles, I guess,” “How fast were you running?’ *'We came up at the rate of about TWENTY MILES PER HOUR 1 quess.” *‘Tsn't that faster than is allowed?” *‘No, no*, any faster than is usual, if you have & train light enough to make it.’’. **‘Who was the forward orakemani” “A man named Chandler. I don’t know his tirst name.” ““Wers yon on time?" “No, we were not running on time. We wero flve hours late, but we were running according to card rights.” “How far bad vou runi” “The other end of the division is at Hia- watha, Kan." “Did you give the signal to put out from West Point?? Mr. Mehan did not answer this question ‘with the same frankness he displayed in an- swering the others, He said, however, that the engineer could have pulled out without a signal as soon as he saw that everything was all right. £ngineers generally looked behind and if they thought that everything was straight they went right ahead, though sume- times they got their signal from the conduc- tors. ENGINEER 8MITH of 870, the engine of the freight train, was found on another engine on his way to re- port to Superintendent Gilmore. He was reticent, refusing to say anything material until the proper time came. ‘*Are you injnred?” “No “‘How did you save yourselfi" “By jumping.” **Who was your firemani" *I don’t know."” **Was he injured?” *'No, he jumped, 100.” ‘‘Were you on time?” “I ain’t got nothing to say." “‘How Zast were you runningi" I can't tell you.” ’ ““How long aftor the passenger left West Side did you pall out?” 'hat doesn’t cut any figure.” *‘How do you account for the accident?" “Laint got nothing to say, I tell you, There'll ve an inquest, 1 suppose. I've got two or three things to settle, and that'll be time enough for me to talk,” Mr. Smith is one of the oldest enginecrs on the Missouri Pacifie, having been con- nected with it siuce the road first ran into Ownha, He is considered a protty careful and reliable engineer. CONDUCTOR SIIBLDS of the suburban trawn was found later at the residence of Dr. Aikin, on Spouldiog near Twenty-fourth street. His head was ban- daged, his left arm in a sling, and a cut about one and a haif inches long over his left eye. Ho was bruised on the left side, leg and arm, though the doctor said that aio bouos weré ket Mr. Shiolds, however, seemea to be rest- ing easily and said : **When the accident occurred I was in the rear car and 1 rashed forward to the front car to provent some women from jumping oft the platform. I had passed from one car to the other and wded them back and then we went over. That was the last I remem- bered for @ while. We went off at the curve.” “Were you on time?" *'We left West Side on time. We were a little betund going out, byt we made it up. 1 was knooked out of my first run by the through passenger from St. Louis, but I got back all right in the second onme. We have a ten minute stay at West Side, but we remuined there only five minutes. T passed them at West Side and they passed me at Miller’s.” This was a little witty sally which made the people in the room smile, “'1 couldn’t realize that the freight train I had ed at West Side could overtake me. 1 didn’t know but that it was & tram from one of tue sidings. “How did the cars escape burning.” *1 put out the fire in the Baker heater iu the first car, and there is some of the sclu- tion of salt and water [pointing to 8 white discoloration on hus blue uniform pavts| from the heater as it fell over on wme. We re. mained on the track for several hundred yands vefore we were finally turned over, Notwithstanding bis ivjuries, Mr, Shields contivued to help the lnjured oues ustil ho fally becawme exbausied and in a faint was ed to Dr. Aikin's kouse. At 11:30 he was carrled 1 a buck to his own Park Wild avenue, under the care of Mr. MoKeuna, The attendivg physician visited him last night and announced that Mr, Skields had been severely m)«r&m @ number of people falling on him, resulting in concussion of the lungs.
