The Chicago Times' special from Forest, 111., Bays: "All tho railway horrors in tho history of this country wcro surpassod throe miles east ol Chntuworth Thursday nlcht of last woek, when an oxotirsidn train on tho Toledo, 1'ooria and Western lload dropped through a burning bridgo nnd ovor ono hundred pcoplo wcnfkillcd and four tltnoB that nnmbor wore moro or loss badly injured. "Tho train was composed of sis sleeping cars, six day ooaohes and chair cars and three baggnco. It was carrying nine hundred and sixty pas sengers, all excursionists, nnd was bound for Niagara Falls. Tho train had been in ado up all along tho lino of tho Toledo, I'oona nnd Wes 1 Westorn lload. and tho excursionists hailed from vari ous point l in Central Illinois, tho bulk of them, however, coming from Peoria. Some of tho passengers camo fiom Canton, Ell'aso, Washington nnd in fact all stations along tho line; sotno from as lar west as JJurlinRton nnd Keokuk, Iowa. A special and choap rato h.id I) ii matte for tho excursion and all sorts of pcoplo took advantage of it. When tho train drew out of Peoria at 8 o'clock Thursday ovening it was loaded to its utmost capacity. iivery berth in tho six Bloopers was taken and tho day cars carried sixty pcoplo eaoh. Tho train was so heavy that two engines wcro hitohod to it, nnd when it passed this place it was an hour and a halt behind timo. crariiiko Titnooott A nniDQE. Cha 4wo-lh tho rext station east of Forest, is six miles off and tho ran tluiro was mado in soven minutes, so tho terriblo rao'nontum of those fifteen (oaohes and two engines shooting throjL'h snaco at tho rate of a mile a nnnuto can bo understood. No stop was made at Chats.voith and on and on tho henvy train with its living freight sped through tho darkness of tho night. Three miles east of Chats- worth is a little slough and whero tho railroad crosses a dry run about ten feet deep and fifteen feet wide. Over this was stretched an ordinary wooden trestle bridgo and as the excursion train camo thnndoring down on it what was the horror of tho engineer on tho front engine when ho saw that this brid o was afiro. Right up be fore his eyes leaped the b Ight flames and tho next instant ho was among them. There was no cbanco to slop. Had thoro boon warnin-j it would have taken halt a i"ilo to stop that on-rusli ing mass of wood, iron and human lives, and tho train was within one hundred yards of tho red tonoued tries senccr of death before it flashed its fatal signals into tho engineer's faco. But ho pasBod over in safety, the first encino keeping the rails. As it went over, tho bridgo fell beneath it, and it could only havo been the terrifio speed of the train which saved the lives of tho engineer and his fireman. But tho noxt engine wont down and instantly tho deed o - dci th was- done, Car crashed into car, coaches piled on top of eaoh other and in the twinkling of an eo nearly forty people found in stant death and fifty more were so hurt that they could not live. As for tho wounded they wore everywhere. Only the sleeping coaches escaped, and as tho startlod and half-dressed passengers camo tuncbling out of them they found such a scono of death as is rarely wit nessed and such work to do that it seemed as if human hands were utterly incapable. NINE CARS SMASHED. It lacked but fivo minutes of mid night. Down in tho ditch lay the sec ond engine. Engineer McClictook dead and 1' ireman Applegato badly lniured On top were piled tho throe baggage cars, ono on top ot another, like child s card honso after ho had swept !i l: i 3 mi iii wiui ma iiauu. men came luo six day coaches. They were telescoped as cars never wero beforo and three o them wero pressed into just space enougn tor one. Tho second car had mounted off its trucks, crashed through trio ear ahead of it, crushing tho wood work aside like tinder and lay there. resting on tho tops of tho seats, while cvuiy iinHstiiKer in mo lruui, car was lying doad'and dying underneath, (hit of that oarbut3fouV pcoplo came aliyo. On top of tho second car lay tno tuird and Us bottom was smeared with the blood of its victims. Tho other threo cars wer not bo badly crush ed, but they wero broken and twisted in every couce'vablo way and every crushed timber and beam represented a crushed human Irani o and a broken bono. Instantly tho air was filled with cries ot tho woundpd and tho Bhneks o thoso about'to die. Tho groans of men and tho screams of women united to make an appalling sound, and abovo all could be heard tho agonizing Ories of little children as in some instances they lay pinned alongside their dead parents. And there was another tern bio danger yet to be met. Tho bridge was still burning, and tho wrecked cars wero lying on and around tho fiercely- burning embers. Everywhere in tho wreck were wounded and unhurt men women and children, whoso lives could be saved if they could bo gotten out but whoso death, and death in a most horriblo form, was certain if the twist ed wood of tho broken cars caught tiro. Ana to tight tho tiro thcro was not drop ol water and only some fifty able bodied men, who still had pres- enco of mind and nerve enough to do their duty. Tho only light was the light of tho burning uridge. And with so much of its aid tho fifty men went to work to fight tho flames. For four hours they fought liko fiends, and for four hours tho victory hung in the balance, Earth was tho only weapon with which the loo could bo fought, and so tho at tempt was mado to smother tt out, There was no pick or shovel to dig it up, no baskets or barrows to oarry it, nnd so desperate wcro they that they duf.. their fingers down into the earth, which a long drought had baked almost as hard as stone, and heaped the precious handfuis thus hardly won npcm tho encroaching limes, and with tnis carthwo c, br it hand ul by hand ful, kept back tho foe. vVhilo this was going on other bravo men crept under neath tho wiecked cars, beneath the firo and tho wooden bar which held as prisoners so many precious lives and with, pieces of board and sometimes their hands beat back the ilamcs when thoy flashed up alongside some unfor tunate wretch who, pinned down by a heavy beam lnokod on holplessly while it seemed as if his death by firo was certain; m1 while tho light was thus pniiit mi ilit huh gf tho workcis wire H.'ietl with ibtj groans of dingl men, 1 augimlied-t'iiUrattiH of thoso wljose !i uth ki'utned c itiiin, unless tho (or lible bJatsc could ho extinguished and (hoones'ofjlhosoiloo Ladly hurt to tare in what manner" tho end were bi ought about, eo only it would be quick. So they dug up tho earth with thoir hands, reckless of tho blood streaming out from broken finger nails nud heaping it up In littlo mounds whllo all the whllo camo tho heartrend ing ory, "for God's sako don't lot us burn to death." But finally tho viti tory was won, tho firo was put out af ter four hours of ondeavor, and as its last sparks died away, a light camo tip in tho cast to tako their plaoc, and dawn oamo upon a scono of horror. 0VK11 ONE HUNDRED DEAD. Whllo tho flnht had boon going on men had been dying, and thero wero not so many wounded to tako out ot tho wreck as thcro had been four hours before. But in tho moantlmo tho country had been aroused, help hod como from Chatsworth, Forest and Pipor City, and as tbo dead wero laid reverently nlonsldo of each other out in tho corn-field, thoro wcro ready hands to tako them into Chatsworth, whilo somo of the wounded wcro car ried to Pipor City. Ono hundred and eighteen was tho awful poll of tho dead, whilo tho wounded number four timo that many. Tho full talo of tho doad oannot, however, bo told yet for days. A SCENE OK HORROR. Tho Town Hall was tho main hospi tal and in it anxious relatives and sor rowing friends sat and fanned gently the sufferer's fnoes, queried tho attend ing surgeons as thoy bound up tho wounds and insistod that tnero mnsi oo hope Down in tho dead houses, fath ers, husbands, brothers, sisters, wives and children tearfully inspected each face as it was unoovorcd nnd sighed as tho features wero unknown or cried out in anguish when tho well-known faco sometimos fearfully mangled, but roo ognlzablo, was uncovered. Tho entiro capacity of tho little village was taxed and kind-hearted women drove in from miles to give their gentlo minis trations to tho sufferers. No sooner had tho wrook occurred than a sceno of robbery commenced. Somo band ot recreants, heartless and with only animal instincts, was on hand, and like the guerrillas who throng a battlo field tho night after tho conflict and filch from tho dead tho money which thoy reoeived for their meagre pay, stealing oven tno Dronzo medals and robbing from tho children of heroes tho Other worthless emblems of their fathers bravery, so last night did these human hyenas plunder tho dnad from this terriblo accident and tako even the shoes which covered their feot. Who these wretches aro is not now known. Whether thoy wero a band of pickpookets who accompan ied the train, or members of some robber gang who wore lurking in tho vicinity, cannot bo said. WAS THE TRAIN WRECKED BY THIEVES, The horrible suspicion, however, ex ists, and thero are many who give it credit, that the accidont was a deliber ately planned case of train wrecking that tho bridgo was set on firo by mis oreants who hoped to seizo the oppor tunity ottered, and the tact that tno bridge was so far consumod at tho timo the tram came along, and tho added fact that the train was an hoar and a half lato are pointed out as evidonce of a careful conspiracy. It seems hardly possible that man conld bo so lost to all tbo ordinary feeling which animates tho basest of tho human raco but still, men who will rob dead men, who will Bteal from tbo dying and will plunder the wounded, held down by broken beams of a wrecked car, whose death by fire seemed imminent, can do most pnything wnich is base, and that is what these fiends in human form did. Thoy wont into the cars when the firo was burning fiercely nnderceath and, when the poor wretches who wero pinned there begged them "For God'B sake to help them out," stripped them of their watches and lewely and search ed their pockets for money. When tho dead bodies were laid out in tho corn holds these hyenas turned them over in their search for valuables, and that tbo plundering was dono by an organ ized gang was proven by tho fact that this morning out in tho corn-field six teen purses, all empty, wero found in one heap. It was a ghastly plundering and had the plunderers been caught they would surely have been lynched. Novels- Tho modern novel teaches littlo of parity or of virtue. Nine tenths of tho story papers published in tho United States aro filled with a class of fiction utterly debasing to the young mind, They teaoh that it is heroio for the young man to risk all the dangers of the night to steal away tho lovely maiden tor his brido. uuardians and parents in tho novel are unreason able, hard hearted and exacting. It is heavenly devotion in the novel for tho girl to risk all tho horrors of tho nigbt in slipping out to meet the lov ed one. And tbo result of all these teachings is what!

Certain it is that tho young, especially, nro influenced by what they read, as loou aitects tno body, bo reading affects the mind. Wo ought to excludo from our reading every thing that gives false views of life. Parents should seo upon what mental food thoir children food. There is no obieotion to reading nov els, provided you read tho right kind of novels. In fact, too much solid reading has the effect of causing chil dren to dread books and papsrs. They requtro light literature as a stimulant, and to whet tho appetito for that which is better. But thero is too much oflwhat Carlylo calls "soap-bubble" literature. To remedy this great evil, and to counteract the malign effects of tho largo number of sensational story pa pers published in all tho larger cities, tho country press should placo beforo their readers a olass of fiction puro iu tone and freo from tho vices so com mon to the olass of miners abovo spok en of. Tho power of tho country press in this respect is limitless, and should exert itself to overcome this tasto in tho rising generation for bad reading by proving somothiug better.

MAN WHO IS Ani,K TO CONVERSE ONMT TWO MVINU 1'ERSONS. WITH For somo timo tho p est of tho old Connectic rOmincnt lntor- Connectiout town. Dan- hurv.has centered In n resident who Is, from a physiological and psychological vlow, a wondor. His strangeness, says a correspondent of tho Chicago ZYmcs, can only bo accounted for in light of a maternal anto natal exper ience, whioh Bocms to influenced all his biological phenomena. John Tioo, or "Dummy,' as ho is generally called, aged about titty, resides on uearnui avenue, in tho eastern part of Dan bury. Ho is a farm hand. Engaged most of tho timo in tho sorvico of Mrs. Itydcr, who resides nt Main nnd South streets, nnd owns a farm In tho out skirts. "Dummy's" sobnquo indi cates less than a half truth, for ho con verses readily enough with two per sons, but is absolutely unablo to talk to any ono else on earth, i bis state ment necessitates a retrospect. "Dum my's" mother, according to undispu ed testimony, was amazonian, inflexible, vindictive, mrelenting. Her animos ities wero as bitter as her friendships wero enduring. Her husband was shiftless, inuolent and a poor providor, and bibulous, often arousing her wrath. About six months beforo "Dummy's" birth her husband committed an act eo heinous iu hor eyes ns fairly to stiflo the accustomed torrent of vituperation. In her fury she could only sulk and mnmblo and grind her teeth. Finally her suppressed rage found vont in a singlo Bentonco : "You bruto I I'll never speak to you again to my dying day t" Until after tho birth of her ohild bIio nursed her wrath and kep her word. Sho spoko indeed, to no ono oxcopt to hor mother, to hor friends, Mrs. Mc Canh, a young widow, and tho latter's littlo daughlor. Tho Nemesis that had pursued "Dnmmy" through lifo first manifested its presence m intanoy. When alono with Mrs. McCann, or her daughter. Johnny was ablo without any moro difficulty than other children of his age to frame words and nnito them into sentences, but to overypody else the child was utterly unablo to ar ticulate. Ho was never ablo, try as ho might, to speak a word to his father. As ho could not reoito any thing ho was not sent to Bcbool. lie can not read or write. A party ot roughs somo timo ago, believing that ho could, but would not converse, inveigled bim to a sec) ailed spot and threatened him with doath if ho did not speak to them ami answer their queitions. Ho could not plead in dumb s"iow for his life. Then they beat a.id fearfully maltreated him, fully convinced at last that ho was not shamming. After his mcthor a death bo married ono of tho two remaining- Jiereons he could talk to, the widow ilcCaun. Ho lives with her at the present time, conversing readily with her and her daughter, now Mrs. Pudg- Iey. A single incident will Hlustrato how ho communicates with them. A gentleman recently desired to bry one of his revolvers, and ho called upon "Dummy' and the latter's who. llo made bis offer to them and inquired if it was accepted. "I'll take bim one side and see what he says about it," sho replied to the visitor. Then "Dummy" and his wifo went out near an outhouse, bnyond hearing but tbo visitor could seo "Dummy s lips moving and tno pair in evident conversation. Upon their return the woman accepted the offer in her husband s name. Ho can not con verse with his wifo in another's pros ence. His hearing and understanding aro normal, and the two persons he can talk to say he manifests no difficulty in expressing himself to them cicariy, nor in enunciation. JUr. Kyder, tor whom he works, in oommon with all others who have bad relations with him, pronounces him a good workman faithful, " telligent, comproheoding read'ly eve y U'lng required of him, brt doomed to-general dumbness by an inexorable law antedating his birth. A physician who takes great interest in tho case and has examined "Dummy's" throat, explains his physiological dif ficulties as follows : "There is always nervous excitement attendant upon his efforts to speak be fore st -angers. In ordinary speeh the ep'glott's is distended and tho vibra tory ohords are expanded. In his caso they do not respond to tbo will. A sort of paralysis exists. In tho ab sonce of nervous excitement they would aot normally and speech would follow." This is the pathological viow, but it does explain why speech is vouoh Bafed only in addressing those his moth er favored just previous to his birtu. It does not explain tho pretoruatural phases, whioh puzzle physiologists and scientists alike, and aro tho wonder of townsmen and strangers. The Typewriter. WHAT IS REQUIRED TO INSURE THE GREAT EST SUCCESS IN ITS MANIPULATION. The typewriter, if it is not already, is rapidly becoming mightier than tho pun. There is a typewriter and stcno grapher attached to all tho hotels hero as is probably tho caso iu evuiy other city. Somo of the stenographers aro making a great deal ot money by a little enterprise To make a great suc cess it is necessary to oombino literary Uulity with mechanical qualifications. The obsorver was talking to the young man at a leading hotel tho other day and bo related sovcral amusing things in connection with his business. lie found when he first started that thero were a great many men who mado a name for themselves in tho business world who wero unablo by tho use of their pens to comnoso a letter ? but they were good talkers. Ho would take their dictation, polish it up a little and when tho work was complete it possessed somo literary merit. Of course, this pleased this class of pat rons : and many ot them who did not writo two letters a week would send out treble that number ovcrjr day, To these men thero is great fosoination in talking to a stenographer, and a man unaccustomed to it is often astonished at tho result of his conversation, par ticularly whon the stenographer looks out for tho punctuation and superfluous words. By advertising in sotno of the papers he has been ablo to get a good deal of literary work, not only from men, but from ladles. Among his pat rons aro a numper of shop girls whose education has beon sadly nogleotod, Still thoy a. e ambitious to creato tho impression that they aro not without literary talents. They havo love-letters written, winding up with poetry of a most sentimental character. Bosidcs, they admire ecoing thoso produced by means of a typewriter, as it has for them about as much fascination as it has for tho spiiug pout to seo his effus icus iu cold type. This enterprising young man is aiso caned upon to turn out works of fiction, nnd has written speocbes for ward statesmen.

It has become tho fashion of a number of Now York swolls to keep stenograph ers legularly employed. Ono well known dudo keeps a diary and dictates for two hours every night boioro no ro tlres. If it could bo publishod it would bo pretty sure to mako mighty interesting reading. It was very nmusmg a short timo ago to near a Western senator, who was dictating to n stenographer in tho corridor of a hotel. IIo had never been known to mako a specoh whilo in the Senate, but as ho talked to tho stenographer on this occasion ho grow quite eloquent, suddenly ho forgot his surroundings and let himself out. Ho walked up and down nnd talked in a very loud tone, gesticulated with both hands, and soon had quito nn nudience, but ho kept right ahead and was uncmbarras cd. Thcro aro lots of pcoplo who dlo tato out loud in tho corridors, of tho hotels simply to attract attention, and it tickles them greatly if yon stop nnd listen to them. Kew York Graphic. Carriage Motors. A NEW SCHEME l'Olt 1'ROl'ELMNO nUOGIES. Regarding the scheme of Dr. J. R. Finney, of Pittsburg, which camo to tho surfaco several years ago for a system of running carriages through tho streets by electricity taken from overhead wires, a Now York reporter has had nn interesting interview with an inventor, and Bays: In the car riages to bo used tho motor is placed under tho back seat, and is connected with tno overhead wire by n short wire running to a "traveler, similar to that with which street cars aro connect ed. Tho connecting wiro between tho carriago and tho little "traveler," which runs along tho overhead wire, is long enough and flexible enough to allow tho carriages to bo run from ono Bide of tho street to tho other, and tho traveler itself may bo removed from tho overhead wiro whenever tho driver of tho carriage wishes to disconnect it entirely. Ono of New York's best ex perts said, in speaking of tho possibili ties of the Finney system: "Much will depend upon tho smooth ness of tho roads over which the car riages will run. Given a perfectly smooth pavement, such as our asphalt, and thoro need bo no dtfllculty what ever. With a block pavemont it re quires from threo or four times as much power to run a carriago as on rails, and on an ordinary turnpike tho power expended is from fivo to Bix times as great. Tho motor to run an ordinary carriage holding four persons need not weigh more than 300 pounds, and in this respeot tho overhead wiro Bystcm is vastly superior to any use of a Btorage-battery as we have it at ires cut, for if to tho weight of tho motor we have to add tho weight of tho stor ago battery, which is as yet a very heavy apparatus, tho carriago would necessarily bo very strong, and require tho heaviest kind of framing, axles and wheels. The present efficiency of tho electric motor is so great that almost anything is to bo hoped from its intel ligent use. "Tho latest figures of recent careful tests gives its efficiency as 93 per cent; that is to say, that of the electric oow cr put into tho motor, it will give back 03 per cent. This is extraordinary high as compared-to the steam engine, which returns about 15 per cent, of the valuo of the coal burned. Whon we como to compare tho cost of running a light carriago by electricity from an overhead wiro with tho cost of horso power, it will bo seen that thcro is a groater margin in favor of oleotricity than whon street cars aro talked about, for tho car company uses its horses to the best advantage whilo tho privato owner may not get moro than half the available work out of his carriage horse. As to tho manner iu which pcoplo could pay for iho service by electricity, that is still a matter for dis cussion. It is quite possible that in small towns the same overhead wires which aro used for the street cars might be used for carriages. "If tho storage battery can bo mado much lighter than at present,and scarco a day passes that wo do not hear of some step in this direction, it will, of course, como into uso for light car riages. In this connection, tho use of water power and windmill power is of great improvement. Within the last year the improvement mado in storage batteries, and in the dynamos whioh feed them, havo been such as to war rant anyone in believing that in tho very near futuro wo shall see wind mills usfd to store up onergy which can bo employed for lighting or for running carriages Ono difficulty has beon tho troublo in making a dynamo whioh would start and stop automatic ally, but that is being rapidly overcome. Tho storage battery in connection with thu wind mills may have i future nn portance ol which wo scarcely dream His Particular Taste. WHY A NEW YORK HUSHAND AND FATHER CHANGED 1113 BRAND OF .CIGARS.

Ooloradoins Who Want to be Senators, From a bearer Letter. Rich men among theso Westerners almost always want to como to Cong ress or tho Senate, and I understand that Hill, Tabor and a number of others nro scheming already for tho election. In the mcantlmo Tom Bow on is at his homo in Dol Norto, Col., 285 miles away from Denver, and Sen ator Teller is living up in tho mount ains at tho mining town of Central City. Teller has n law offico in Den ver nud nlso a big ranch near Pueblo, Bowcn's interests nro in mines, and ho onco told me that a man never got wealthy selling postngo stamps, aud that if ho wanted to mako a fortuno he must strike for big game. It was in this way that Bowon has mado what ho has, and ho is said to be wealthy. IIo rodo here from Arkansas a poor man nnd for seven yrnrs worked n group of claims in company with others iu n corporation known as the San Juan Mining Company. It is said tho company was badly managed, and its stock got down very low.

Tho inquiry Is somotlmea mado why bob voal is treated with so little consideration by OV health officers. It is perfectly truo that bob veal Is neither poisonous nor innutritlous. Tho only objections ore that It is a watery and rather Indigestible substance, standing somewhat In tho relation to good veal or beef that skimmed milk docs to the puro article. Veal, as would bo oxpected, has almost ident ically tho same amounts o( fat, nitrogenous matter, and salts a beef. The tissues, how over, havo less osmazome, or flavoring mat ter, aro more insipid, and bard to digest. It Is a question, however, whether even tho bobbest of bob veal Is not better food than tho lights which aro sold to and eaten by the poor. Bob veal ought not to be sold for good veal; but under its own name, and at a low price, it might bo admitted as an article of food. Medical Record. An Old Conductor's Observation.
