This was the day for the annual pic- T of the Sunday school and, as in former years, hundreds of the children with their parents and friends had to the picnic grounds at Mo- mence, L, for the day. The pienic was over and the train was on the re- turu to Chicago when the accident oc- curred, The children in the first coach were singing as the trdin passed through Chicago Heights, twenty-seven miles from Chicago. Two miles farther the train went on and then the singing was bushed in death for more than a score and by cries of pain and horror from seventy others. Two accidents combined to make the disaster. The first was the break- g down of a freight train on the northbound track, on which the ex- cursion train should have proceeded efter Jeaving Chicago Heights, and the other was the breaking of a coup- WOMAN FOUND Unconscious Female, Who Is| Thought to Be Mrs. Gar- | rity, Vietim of Thugs TO INJURY] SUCCUMBS | Early Morning Tragedy In-| volves Well-Dressed Resi- | ! | dent ~of Baker Street| — 1 Shortly after 1 o'clock this morn- | woman, apparently about 60 years of | age, lying unconscious on the side- walk at the corner of Clay and Locust | streets.

REDDING, July 13.—The Shasta Power Company, which proposes toi enter the local field by establishing a | power plant on Hat Creek to furnish | power to Redding and other towns of | Northern California, is not in a posi- | | tion to go ahead with operations if it is so disposed. It recently called for bids for a franchise and was outbid w¥ a stranger, whose connections are unknown. To-day the Supervisors granted a special privilege of twenty-three months tc Harry L.

Because the first train had blpcked | the rightful track the excursion train switched to the southbound track to run for four miles until it should have passed the station at Glenwood, just north of Chicago Heights. As it tore along the track at the rate of forty miles an hour it rounded a sharp curve and came full upon the second train, which was backing up on the southbound track in order to take up its lost cars and trying at the same time to keep out of the way of the coming picnic train, which it be- lieved was on the northbound track. There wag no time for more than the setting of the brakes, when, with un- slackened. speed, the train with its load of 500 men, women and children crashed into the freight. There was shock, a shriek and more than twenty souls were in enternity. COACHES ARE DEMOLISHED. Between Chicago Heights and Glen- wood there is a sharp curve and as the picnic train tore around this on ghe southbound track the freight train Was backing southbound to the northbound track. It partly on both tracks and no train could have passed it in either direction. The bend is so sharp that the engineer of the picnic train had no chance to see the freight be- fore he was upon it. It was too late to do anything but apply the “air- brakes, but before they could take ef- ! fect the passenger trdin smashed into | the freight at full speed. The engine and baggage car of the passenger went clear through the freight and were piled up in a heap of wreckage on the further side of the switch, on which the freight was crossing from one track to the other. The first coach of the | picnic train plunged straight into the wreckage and buried itself in a mass of kindling wood under the demolished baggage car. Nearly all of the passengers in the first coach were caught beneath the | mass of debris, and it was here that | the loss of life occurred. The passen- gers in the rear coaches were hurled from their seats and many of them | were badly shaken and bruised, but all of the serious casualties occurred in| the first car. | HELD DOWN BY WRECKAGE. The uninjured passengers and train- | men at once hastened to the relief of those who were pinned down under the | wreckage, who were shieking pitecusly | for aid. The scene of the wreck is two | miles from any station and much delay | ensued before some of the injured who | were held down by heavy timbers could be extricated. Nothing could be done | for them until lifting machinery came | from Chicago Heights. | Men were sent running along the | | tracks to both Chicago Heights and | | Glenwood for aid and in a short time | | trains bearing physicians and supplies | | for the wounded were on their way | | from both stations. The first train to | 'nrrlve on the scene was from Chlcuo; Heights and carried six physicians. A | Short time afterward a second train ar- 1 ;rived from Glenwood, bringing addi- | tional physicians and a number of | nurses. ’ Darkness had fallen when the second | | train arrived and the work of rescue | and relief went on by the light of huge bonfires that were built along the side of the track. A regular relief train was made up at Glenwood as soon as possi- ble and every preparation made to bring the dead and injured to the city. It was nearly 10 o'clock when the last of the injured had been taken from the wreckage and a half hour later than ! that time when the temporary dre-‘ ing had been applied to the last wound and the train, carrying its woeful bur- | den, started for the city. a was ‘GOVERNMENT NAVY YARD INTERESTS DELEGATES of the Young Ladies’ Insti ALMOST [)YINGiRepresentatives Who Are Attending the Grand Council tute, Now in Annual Session at Vallejo, Spend Enjoyable Afternoon at Mare Island et — VALLEJO, July 13.—Considerable in- | terest is beginning to develop over lhe' election of officers of the Grand Coun- cil of the Young Ladies’ Institute, which is holding its twelfth session | here this week. It has been given out | that Miss May Stein does not desire | re-election as grand president, as she feels that the labors of the term now closing have been too arduous for her. | Still she has received many requests | to accept another term and assurances of strong support.

Changes and improvements were sug- gested and considered. The report of the grand president, Miss May Stein, will be presented on Thursday and is awaited with much interest. The grand officers and delegates, through the kindness of Rear Admiral McCalla, spent several hours this aft- ernoon in the navy yard.

His advanced age forbade active ser- vice in the field on his part, so soon after the capture of Pretoria by Lord Roberts in 1900 he left his country by way of Lorenz¢ Marquez and sought refuge in Europe, where he remained until his death, rendering until the close of the war such assistance to his still struggling countrymen, in the way of sending men and supplies, as cir- cumstances would permit.
