KILLED IN A WRECK. ——— Western Flyer Ditched By a Washout. ia MANY WERE INJURED. a A Man Going to Minneapolis to Be Mar- ried Dies of His Injuries—Asks Fhysl- clan to Keep Sad News From His Sweectheart—Another Man Hurled From Uhe Car on Top of Another, Waterloo, Iowa, (Special.)—The through train from Chleago to Minneapolis over the Rock Island and Burlington, Cedar Rapids and Northern Railways, was wrecked at 1.15 Sunday morning at the crossing of Sink Creek, about four miles southeast of this place. The train consisted of six coaches, including mail and baggage car, smoking car, two passenger coaches and sleeper. Eight persons were killed aod twenty-three fojured A cloudbirst had washed the sand and gravel roadbed, leaving the track unsup- ported for a stretch of twenty feet, The rails and ties held together, aud there was nothing to indicate the insecurity of the road. The engine struck the washout and was derailed in the ditch beside the track, and behind it the cars were piled in a con~ fused heap. The mail car tipped over and was telescoped by the baggage car behind, whils the rear end of the baggage car in turn telescoped the smoker. The roof of the sleeper ploughed its way through the day coach, while the lower balf of the latter crashed through the sleeper, The engineer asd fireman jumped from the train and escaped with slight injuries. Mr. Bchwette, of Alton, IlJ,, was brought to this city alive, but died at eight o'clock. He was badly cut about the head, apd ft was evident from the beginning that his in- juries were fatal. He wason bis way to Minneapolis, where he was to be married. He asked his pbysician to telegraph his father and his sweetheart, “Tell her,” he gasped, ‘‘that I have been detained by a wreck and cannot keep the appointment on time. Don'tsay any more,” The news was brought toihis city by a mail elerk, the whistle was blown, a switch engine and coach hastily prepared, and a relief train sent very speedily. Tbe injured passengers were extricated from the debris and brought here, Another reiie! train soon arrived from Cedar Rapids and took a num- ver of the seriously injured to be treated in the hospital in that city. F. J. Day, of Allison, Iowa, a passenger, said: “The train was running at good speed, and at a point about three or four miles from Waterloo it left the track. Tbe engine and baggage car were thrown about ten feet, The engineer evidently had bis engine under excellent control, as I never saw such a sudden stop. The smoker, where I sat, telescoped the baggage car, aod I found myseil with the Lrakeman, on the roof of the day coach.” A striking example of cool nerve and for- titade was shown by Will Beholliam, a drum mer for a St, Louis tobacco house, who made his headquarters at Waterico, He was found under a passenger coach, bis arm crushed between the [ront end of the sleeper and the side of the conch. He did not lose sonsciousness, but begged that bis arm be sawed off so as to release him. It was found that there was no possilility of re. lensing the unfortunate man in any other way, 80 this was done. Scholliam gritied his teeth and looked on while bis arm was amputated with a common baad saw, not a moan comiog from the poor fellow as the crude instrument tore its way through bone acd sioew. After Le was released Sehoillam walked almost unassisted 10 a nearby farm- Louse, He was terribly weakened by loss of blood, bowever, and died in the alternocon. TORNADO IN NEBRASKA. Several!
