Second th( hog's melt runs jagged, instead of smooth. Third, ihe gone hone taken fro-.ii a May raised lowl iihowa larger mid whiter spots than customary, which resemble the canst of Mars.

Direct disobedience of orders on the part nf u Chicago and (irnnd Trunk engineer anil conductor, both ol' whom have seen long service with tne company and were regarded as model employe-., was ihe cause of the tragedy. A Haytiiond and Whii conib special train ofcight palace cars filled with Kaatern folk, who had iieen taking in the sights of the World's Fair, left Hie Six tieth Street station of the road at Chicago ul 8. 15 p. ni. ns the first section of the night expre-s. known as No. 0. The train was in charge of Conductor Hurt N. Scott and En gineer Hurry Wooliev. All went well until Battle Creek ilepA was reached. Th is was at 8:37 a. ill. From here to the railroad yards, a distance of a mile and u half, there Is a double track. When the Witcoinh special caniu to a full stop in thedepot, the night operator hand ed to Conductor ,-cott two copiee of an order for the train to proceed to the double track east of Main street, about n-half mile dis tant, anil there wail the passing of lite westbound Pucilic ex.ress, known as No. II. This train which was nearly three hours lute, was composed ot 13 day coaches and two baggage cars. Most of the day coaciies had seen many years service and were in poor condition to withstand a collision. Everyone ol the fated number was packed with Kustern people. Ihe majority of whom taking advantage of the low latea were on their way to take in Ihe last .week of the Exposition. i he Pacific express was in charge of Con ductor John Bi d and Engineer Uilhert Cranshaw, both of vthom had received or ders at Lansing to lookout fur the east hound train on the double track and were accord ingly on tho alert. Alter receiving orders nt the Battle Creek taiion, Engineer Woolley proceeded up the double track, hut instead of stopping in ac cordance si h his instruction)! until the v. est bound express bad passed, he continu-d on and entered again on the single track. He hardly gone more than an eight of a mile when tne headlight of the l acilic express was wen loniiug around the slight curve tieliind the telegraph office of the railroad yards. It was ednig westward at the rate of 40 miles hour. There was no time to apply air brakes or reverse levers. Tbe engineers and firemen of both trains Jumped tor their lives, and a second later Ihe giant locomotives came together with a trash that could be heard a half mile away. With Icartm lorcethe engine of the special plowed. nearly half way into that of the ex press, driving it backward lino the baggage :ar, und the latter in turn into the day wuchea behind. The ahtxk was so terrilio thai the tint four of these were completely '.elewoped, tbe first coach cutting thronah he second and the second into the third like a flash of lightning, the roof of each passing over the heuds of the sleeping pas tengera and sweeping them in a mass to the oorlh end of the cars To add to tbe horror the wreck took Art from thetoves or lamps, and as the flames mounted up, the groans and shrieks of the maimed and iujnred were succeeded bv heartrending, agonizing cries and atpeais for help from tbe scores imprisoned by the heavy timbers, or held down by the seats and iron frame work. Tbe travelers on Ihe special, nearly all of whom had been shaken out of their berths by the shoes, poured out of the cars, but before Ihe fury of the flam a they were al most powerless to render any assistance, except to the injured iu ihe fourth cur. The City fireman promptly responded to the alarm and after extinguishing the flames commenced the gruesome work ol recovering what remained of tbe victims, the police taking car of the valuables and keeping tbe crowd at a distance. After a thorough search of the debris was made and it was certain that no wore bodies remained, the freight car containing the cbarred remains was backed down to Ihe city depot and its contents transferred to an undertaker, a wiecking crew set to work, the debris again sorted and burned and lelt nothing but a beup of etbes to tell the slory of one of the most awful holocaust in the history of railroading. BLAMI IT OH IACU OTBXX. Engineer Woolley and Conductor Scott of the special train, were arrested at Battle Creek. Mich., on warrant sworn out by Proeecutiug Attorney Clark, charging man slaughter. Scott was released on 3,000 bail. Wooliev could not secure bondsmen and was locked up.

Apropos the recent centennial celebration jf the founding of our federal capitol In Washington, it is interesting to recall that this government has had nine different seats of national legislation since Ihe heroes ol 1770 threw off the English yoke.

J.; New Yore city, and lastly Washington, have all in turn served as the home of congress the visible center of the government and the sanctuary of its law. During the Revolution the sessions of congress were held at the most convenient points permitted by the exigencies of the war the temporary capital being moved about as occasion required.
