Henry E. Highton, chalrman of the meeting, was instructed to appoint a com- mittee whose duty it will be to devise a plan to bring about this end.

The flames, however, had retarded the work of rescue. The wounded had been placed on stretchers in the coaches sent from Adrian. At 10:45 o'clock the first train loaded with wounded from the scene of the wreck arrived in Adrian. The dead were left be- hind to be cared for in a later train. Little Aid Is Rendered. The ‘wrecking train orderéd from Mont- pelier, thirty miles away, arrived shortly after 9 o’'clock, but the heavy vestibuled cars of the east-bound train lay between it and the burning immigrant cars, so that little aid could be rendered to the res- cuers. ‘When the special train reached Adrian the wounded were carried in ambulances, drays and delivery wagons to the hospi- tals until they were filled, and private residences in the neighborhood were placed in service. Among the great list of dead only one name is known here at prgsent. This is Miss Dido Dentzed of Tupperville, Ont. She was alive when rescuers reached her, and with her expiring breath said: “Notify Willlam Moore.” That was all. A special to the Tribune from Adrian gives the following Detroit persons as among the injured: George Sweeney; F. B. Richardson, ex- press messenger, head .cut and both legs mangled; Mary Dolman, injuries slight: H. B. Whitney, an Ontario raflroad - dis- patcher, seriously injured. Many Victims Are Italians. At this hour, owing to imperfect facili- ties for getting news, it does not seem likely that,more dtails of the wreck will e at hand before to-morrow morning. It is estimated that more than 500 persons were on the two frains. All the immigrants on the west-bound train are believed to be Italians en route HENR HIGHTON. | —_— CITIZENS WHO WERE PROMI- NENT AT LINCOLN MONU- MENT LEAGUE MEETING.

The depot at Seneca and comparatively uninjured coaches have been utilized as temporary hospitals. One relief train is now return- ing to Detroit from the wreck and the other trains are en route to Peru and Adrian. Two relief trains are on the way from the scene of the wreck at Seneca bear- ing the wounded. The trains will not reach Peru until 8:45 a, m. The general hospital of the Wabash system is located in this city. The latest reports from Adrian are to the effect that there are eighty dead and 150 injured. Fifty .of the eighty dead were killed outright. Additions to the Injured. Among’ the injured are: L. Loyd, Komp- ton, N. D., head badly injured; Victor Cohen, St. Paul, Minn,, hit on head by water bottle; Frank R. Bledelin, Balti- more, left arm broken; H. Walter Grels, Joplin, Mo., serious; E. E.

Engineer Strong makes the following statement: » “I was running sixty-five miles an hour, when I saw a light on the west-bound train. I shut down to fifty miles. We had seven coach®s and a baggage car. 1T jumped, as did my fireman. The first car was strong and ‘was ‘not smashed. @ il @ To Cure a Cold in One Day Take Laxative Bromo-Quinine Tablets. - All druggists refund the money If it falls to cure. E. W.

Highton said on calling the meeting to order: The Lincoln Monument League has been in existence for some years and has succeeded in srousing a strong patriotic feeling inbe- half of its object. But experience has taught its officers that the work of raising money cannot be accomplished by means of 10-cent subscriptions by school children, members of the Grand Army and men who have happened to become interested. It it could be generally known how much effort has been put forth by such men as my friend W. W. Stone, such respect for the movement.would be created that the desired result would speedily be ac- comlished. 2 To me 1t seems a positive disgrace that thir- ty-six years after the martyrdom of Lincoln there should be even a question or discussion of the production of a fund for a monument to the memory of one of the greatest men the Union has prodgeed. The point now is to come to some concluslon that will result in placing the Lincoln Monu- ment League on a satistactory and durable basis, When newspapers, bankers, manufac- turers and business men are invited and under- take an enterprise, throwing Into it mot only intelligence, but heart and ardor, the result 1s as good as accomplished. Now, Is-there any object that can propose itself to the Ameri- can mind more Important than building a mon- umetit to the great captain of the civil war? Then let press and people unite in this move- ment. Chief Justice Beatty, General Shafter, ‘W. W. Stone, Colonel George Stone, Su- —¥ perintendent of Schools Crawford of Ala- meda County, ex-Judge Dibble, Charles Edelman and others took part in the dis- cussion that followed, the deliberations .ending in the decision to leave the ques- tion of methods to a committee to be ap- fointed by the chairman. Judge Dibble made two suggestions that apparently recommended themselves to the favor of those present. He urged that the hundredth anniversary of the .birth of Lincoln be set as the date of the dedication of the monu- ment, and that all effort be bent toward | the completion of the monument by that | date. His other suggestion was that | Twin Peaks be made a Lincoln Park and | that on the summit, in full view for the | ‘whole length of Market street, there be | erected a great shaft of structural steel | and California- marble towering 600 to 1000 feet in the air. The second collapsed and nobt & soul es- caped.” ‘Willard Stearns, editor of the Adrian Press, who had just returned from the wreck at 2:30 a. m., telephoned particu- lars to the Assoclated Press. *Mr. Stearns sald the cause of the disaster was the misreading of his order by Engineer Strong of the Continental Limited. The order read, “Pass at Seneca,” but Strong understood it to read Sand Creek. The conductor of the train read the order rightly. He did not know that the engi- neer had misunderstood it and supposed his train was going on a siding. Finding that the train was running rapidly, the conductor put on the air brakes himself, but he was too late, and just then the engineer set the brakes to try to avert the force of the collision. The engineer’s leg was broken and he was otherwise injured. Seven dead were taken out of one car of the Continental Limited. ‘Weather Is Very Cold. All those on that train who were killed were on that car which was between the, smoker and dining cars. The bulk of the injured persons were taken to Peru, Ind., and Montpelier, Ohio, the tracks of the Detroit and Lima Northern and Cincin- nat! Northern being utilized in getting around the wreck. Stearns sald that the scene of the wreck was beyond description. The night is bitterly cold and as there is but one farmhouse adjacent to the scene there was but little shelter for the sufferers. Matters are In a chaotic condition and there are scarcely any facilities for iden- tifylng the dead. The railroad will not permit the use of its wires, the only ones available for carrying the news. —_— Allen’s Wound Proves Fatal.

My throat was verf' raw and sore, my head ached and I felt very miserable. “1 tried a number of well known rem- edies, but nothing gave me gelief until reading in the paper of Peruna I bought a bottle.
