and whenever he makes a prognostication
hia friends regard it ns worthy of credence
Mr. Cushniiiii believes the coming wlntei
will be nn nnmnully severe one. and baset
his opinion on the fnllowinggrnundt:
First, the husk of corn ore much thicket
than usual, and of a deep orange lint, in
stead of a light lemon hue. 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. Foil th, the crop of iiuta of all
kinds is immense aud the squirrels and
chlimonks are laying in prodigious stores

and woodcock are lighting in barns and
outhouses intead of trees, and din ks aie

frogs are changing their nkina and are even

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.
Scott says tie gave tbe engineer a dupli
cate of the order he received and supposed
he understood it; that be af erwama wen

NATIONAL CAPITOLS,
Ihis Government Has Had Nine Beats
of Oovernmsnt.
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. The cities
of Philadelphia. I'a.; Baltimore, Md.; Lan
caster, Ta.; York, ' Pa ; Princeton, N. J.
Annapolis, Md.; Trenton, N. 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. Under the old
regime of tbe cnntinen al congress, and
later under tha articles of confederation the
same rivalry existed among the 13 states foi
the honor of having congress elt within
their respective territories as were exper
ienced after the constitution was adopted
and before the present federal city wss
located In ita present situation, on tbe banks
of Ihe Potomac.
