Many physicians were auickly in attendance upon the'injured, who wers removed to the hos- pitals end hotels as rapidly as possible, While the dead were taken to the morgue. strong Men Turnea Pale, When the cc that rent the sn occurred the shrieks - were heard for blocks. Many women in the throng on the platform who witnessod the accident falnted, and men were unnerved. In five minutes hun- dreds of men were working with axes to sue the wounded. The groans of the dying filed the air for many minutes, and as each new corpse dragzed from the shat tered conches a heartrending cry went up from thousands. “Lord have mercy on my poor soul," cried one poor follow whose iife was ebbing out. “Good Jesus, care for Tommy,” ejaculated A woman who was dying with a child at her breast A woman, whose name is unknown, layon the side of the track suffering untold mental and physical ngony, She was the mother of a child of 2 yoars, and implored the by- standers to save her child. “Only let me see my baby before I die,” she exclaimed. “'You who know 1 mother's love, get my child, I beseech you. " Her child was dead The work of removing the dead and wounded was pushed with all possible haste and was finished before noon, Wreckers began clearing the track promptly. Where tho Wreek Took Pines.

All the dead and injured have been taken from the wreck, the wrecking crew haying removed the cars. In an interview D. 8. Southerland, district superintendent of the Michigan Central road, said to the Associated press reporter thatthe number of killed and injured was exaggerated by the early dispatches. It is very hard to get any definite information from the scenco of the wreck. as the tele- graph office is crowded, besides the wires are working very slowly because of bad weather, As faras Mr. putherland had heard, only ten or twelve were killed and about the same number injured. All the wounded were taken to the com- pany’s hospital at Jackson and were being glven all tho care and attention possible. The wrecked trains were sections of the Delaware Lackawanna & Western, the “Os- wego special,” loaded with people from cities along t) line ~bound for Chicago. They were to have reached their destination at 4 o'clock this afternoon. Mr. Southerland received the following message from the encineer at Jackson soon ufter the wreck occurred: “Dr. North, Michigan Central surgeon gsays he knew of eleven killed and fourteen wounded. The latter were taken to the hospital. He did not know how many more there were, but should say five or six.” As s00n as possible Pr Henry Russell, general Jackson on the regular tr at the scene of the wreck, The uninjured conches of the first train and the second train, with all the passengers who were unhurt. and wished to continue the journey, and some whose injurics were slight, were sent on to Chicago after a short delay. Whore the Blamo Kests, The accident scarcely happened before the news was flashed over the wires to tho com- any's general oftice at Detroit. President yard at once ordered out his special carand wis soon on his way. With him were officiuls of the road. President Layard did not remain 1 Jackson long. After ex- amiving the extent of the wreck he left for Detroit, The blame, if any attaches to the active agents of the railroad, belongs to Engineer Whalen, who was haulinz the rear train. None of the oficials will say that he can bo held responsible. The air brakes woula not work and no one feels competent to explain why they would not, The two trains wore deljvered to the Michigan Ceutral av Buffalo—one from the New York Central, and the other from the Delaware & Lackawanna road.

The second train was in charge of Con- ductor - Webb and, according to Superin- tendent Ford of Jackson, 1t was held at Grass Lako. a station a few miles east of ackson, until the first train was reported a8 having arrived at Jackson, The samo authority states that his orders show the second special left Grass Lake forty minutes behind the first section, and that the latter had been standing in front of the Jackson station, protected oy the plocks when it was struck. Whalen acknowledges that he saw the signal was against him half a milo away. Conductor \Webb heard the engineer’s whistle for brakes when approaching Jack- son. Heclaims he turncd the automatic brakes on the car, without effect. The same cause that operated against the engineer's lever made the automatic car orakes impotent.

Nearly 00 delegates were entolled during the afternoon ovening and many more are expected to ac- rive this morning. These represent over 500 societies in Nebraska, and the convention promises to bo the most enthusiastic and profitable yet held in the state. “I'he Young People’s Society of Christian udeavor was originally organized in Port- { land, Me., in 1881 by Francis E. Clark, and since then has enjoyed a remarkable growth In less than thirteon yoars of its existence it lias branched out all over the United States amd its roster now counts 27,000 socicties, with a total membership of 1,600,000 young | people. 1t 1s inter-denominational in chur- | noter and twenty different cRurch denomina- tions are included in its membership.

The address of welcome was de- livered by Rev. ‘I I& Cramblet, pastor of the Rirst Christian church of this city. After a few words of cordial groeting Rev. Cramblet called attention —to the earnest work of the nine Omaha young men who compose the committee of 93, and to whose untiring efforts was largely due the success of tha conven- tion. It had been to them from the first a labor of love, and in their behalf he bid them welcome, He also spoke of the encourage- ment and support which the society afforded 10 every pastor, and on behalfof the pastors of the ity he added another and a hearty welcome. "Contiruing, the speaker said that the twenty-five socicties in the local city union expected great things trom these days of Christian fellowship, and they desired to welcome the convention because of the en- thusinsm which they believed it would create “\We are glad (0 soe you,” he cordially con- tinued, “and to look inlto your facesland think of you as oue united host.

He hoved that the hospitality which would extended to the gonyention would consist moge in the warmth and grace of the neart than the more extravagant kind. ‘The afternoon meetiug closed with a “‘free partiament,” led by F dent Murch, on “What Did You Con.e For?” s/ The evening session was ¢alled 1o order by Rev. L. P, Ludden of Lincoln, who opened with a brief song service and prayer by Rev. Muchman of Grand_Island. 'The secrotary read a letter from the Presbyterian synod of Nebraska congratulating the union on the occasion and proffering many good wishes for its continued success and prosperity. At this point a diversion occurred which was not down on the program. President Murch had engaged Mi. Thon Wain- wright of Chicago, state superintendent ot juniors for lilinois, to give an address on Sunday afternoon, Mr, Wainwright had - formed the president that his engagements would prevent him from coming unless he left Saturday night aud returned to Chicazo immediately after the close of the meeting Sunday afternoon. He at length consented to come and bis name was included if* the printed list of speak Objected to Sunday Rides. After the devotional service last might C.'K. Powell of Lincoln called attention to the matter and offered a resolution that the secretury be directed to telegraph Mr. Wainwright that if be could not attend the convention without traveling on the Lord’s day they would dispense with his services, A member immediately proposed to lay the Tesolutiou on the table, but it was defeated by a vote of 100 to 74, After some discus- sion Mr. Powell's resolution was carried by a large majority and Mr. Wainwright's ad- dress will not be read before the Omaha convention. The address of the evening was to have been delivered by Rev. Sherman Kirk of Fairbury, but he was unable to be present and Rev. D. R. Duncan, presidentof the Cotner ui Lincoln, was provailed upon to take his place. The subject was, “Watchman, What of the Night?” and this Dr. Duncan made the theme of a most inter- esting addr “Watchman, What of the Night?" In introducing his subject the speaker said there were two ways of looking at every subject. Age was disposed o sce the darker colors, while youth usually looked at the brighter aspect. He shouid try to take the middle path and try and paint at once the hopes and fears that presented them: °s to hig vision. It was as imperative to under- stand the enemy with whom they had to contend as to know tho strength of sheir own forces. The increase of the liquor trafic was one of the greatest enemies tiey had to contend with In spite of the fight Christianity was maik- ing. the amount of liquor used was con- suantly increasing. Urime seemed to the reader of the daily papers to be daily grow- ing and vice was creeping into society in & way scarcely to be observed, but nevertheless menacing. Polities, the party and individual searmbling for position, wus one of the evils whygh inust be mes. ‘I'he day had come when the moral interests of the rising generation, the bettoring of man- kind, must be regarded as more important than carrying any man's party to success A stop must be put, @ practice of 1illing the legislature wiLll,‘éA who did not know cnough 1o ohow gUAF unless they had a string tied to it. £ & The preachers cagigin fora share of the apeaker’s criticism. #Phey were inclined o be weak and willjws ‘where right and wrong was concerngd/.

Re- vivals were partaking more of tue Pen- tecostal nature and there was a polent in fluence at work which gave reason for hope and rejoicing. Will Unite to Fight Satan. The increasing union sentiment also boded well for the advance of Christianity, Four- fifths of “the power” of the churohes wus now wasted in sectarisnism. The time was coming when this would all be doue away with and the denominations would unite to fight the devil. “All this makes we think that I was born fifty years too soon, but | thank God that when [ have laid dowu the sword you will still be left, that you will carry on the work aud live to seeita suc cess in your homes."
