The excursion train that was wrecked Watertown yesterday for Chicago In two sections, heavily loaded. The first section reached Jackson at 3:50 this morning and came to a standstill at the depot in order to change engines.

Many passengers alighted for luncheon, otherwise the list of casualties would have been much larger. While the first pectlon was standing still, the second section came tearing through the yard at a speed of forty or fifty miles an hour. Its speed was slackened somewhat when the collision occurred, but the second section was still running rapidly when It crashed into the rear end of the train ahad. It is said that when the second section entered the yard, the engineer, William Whalcn of this city, shut off the steam and applied the airbrakes, which, to his dismay, failed to work. He then whistled twice for brakes, but It was too late.

Joseph P. Kimberling, the fireman. Jumped from the cab before th crash came and escaped uninjured. Engineer Whalen remained at his post almost ttntll the very moment of the collision and then jumped. He reversed his engine and seems to have done everything in his power to avoid the disaster.

One of his ankles was broken, and it Is feared he sustained fatal Injuries, which will cause hla death. Fated Rear Cone he. The majority of the killed and Injured were in the two rear coaches of Hie ffxat section which was telescoped. Every passenger in these cars was either killed or terrible injured. The third coach from the rear of the first section, which was thrown to one side, the last two coaches being pushed away beyond It, stood and four passengers in it were killed and others injured.

Some of the other cars In the first section were damaged, but none was completely filled and none of the passengers In them killed. With the exception of the engine and baggage car, the second section of the train was not much damaged. The baggage car jumped the track and was dashed against some empty cars on a siding. It was reduced to kindling wood, but the two occupants of the car crawled out of the wreck, having sustained only slight scratches. The locomotive was badly wrecked.

Thousnnd on the Scene. Ten thousand inhabitants cf Jackson were gathered at the scene of the wreck in a few minutes and at once began the work of removing from the telescoped coaches the killed and wounded, whom they placed In rows on the greensward near by. Many physicians were quickly In attendance and attended the Injured, who were removed to the hospitals and h-tel3 as rapidly as possible, while the dead were carted off to the morgue. When the collision occurred the shrieks that rent the air were heard for blocks. Many women In the throng on the platform, who witnessed the accident, fainted, and men were unnerved.

In five minutes hundreds of men were working with axes to rescue the wounded. The groans of the dying filled the air for many minutes and as each new corpse was dragged from the shattered coaches a heart-rending cry went up from the thousands. "Lord, have mercy on my poor soul," cried one poor fellow whose life was ebbing out; "God. Jesus, care for Tommy," ejaculated a woman who was dying with a child at her breast. A woman whose name was unknown lay on the side of the track suffering untold mental and physical agony.

She was the mother of a child of two years and implored the bystanders to save her child. "Only let me see my babe before I die," she exclaimed. "You who know a mother's love, get my child, I beseech you." Her child was dead. The work of removing the dead and wounded was pushed with all possible haste and was finished before noon. Wreckers began clearing the track promptly and at 5 o'clock the road was clear.

Trains were r.ot much delayed, being a hie to pass the wreck on side tracks. The uninjured coaches of the first train and the second train, with all the passengers who were unhurt and wished to continue the journey and some whose injuries were slight, were sent on to Chicago after a short delay. Mayor Charitas H. Bennett and Sheriff Peek took charge of thrt work of the townspeople at the wreck and great credit is due to them to their citizens generally as well, for their efficient services and for the attentions bestowed utMn the sufferers. Prosecutor Elmer Kirkby made a personal examination of the vrck and satisfied himself that all the bodies had been removed before he allowed the railroad officials to have the cars dragged away.

Though thousands of splinters from the telescoped cars scattered for rods about, but few remained on the ground. They have been carried away as relics of the catastrophe. Cushions bespattered with the blood of the killed have been torn to shreds and carried away by women and men. Splinters hanging to the coaches have also been borne away. Olrlcinls nt the Wreck.

The accident had scarcely happened before the news was flashed over the wires to the company's general offices at Detroit. President H. B. Ledard at once ordered out his special car and was soon on. his way.

With him were Henry Russell. general attorney of the Michigan Central; G. L. Xad'ottrek, assistant attorney; Chief Engineer A. M.

Dale, superintendent of tracks and bridges; Dr. A. B. Tibballs. assistant surgeon, and J.

M. Dessasiers. special agent. The was run as a special train nearly all the way and was picked up by the passenger train, which arrived here at 11:30 this morning. The cars were sidetracke-d and the officials joined the people who surrounded the wreck.

Dr. Tibballs was active in assisting the local physicians in caring for the wounded. President Led-yard did not remain in Jackson long. After examining the extent of the wreck he left for Detroit. The officers of the roal are here looking after the interests of the company.

The Maine, If Any. The blame. If any, attaches to the active agents of the railrad company, and belongs to Engineer Whalen, who was hauling the rear train. None of the officials will say that he can be held It is one of those occurrences which offers a field for scientific speculation. The air brakes would not work and nobody feels competent to explain why they -would not.

The two trains were delivered to the Michigan Central at Buffalo. One from the New York Central and the oUier from the Delaware Ltckawunna road. They were both excursions. The passengers were picked up at local points in New York and Pennsylvania. Both trains were run as specials over the Michigan Central.

The second tr.in in charge of Conductor Webb and, according to O. A. Fordan, the division superintendent at Jackson, It was held at Grass Iake, a station ten miles east of Jackson, until the first train was reported as having arrived at Jackson. The same authority states that the records show that the second special left Grass Lake fortv minutes behind the first section, and that the latter had been standing in front of the Jackson station protected by the semaphore or block signal when It was struck. Master Mechanic Smart, who is located at Jackson Junction, one-half mile east, reports that Engineer Whalen's train was running about twenty-three miles an hour when it passed his office.

This was not considered an excessive rate of speed at that point. From there, it Is the unwritten rule of the company to slow down, and when within sight of the semaphore to come in not more than Tired, Weak, Nervouo lira. Mary C.

The semaphore, which was protecting the first special at the station, is three-quarters of a mile east of the station. Whalen acknowledges that he saw the signal was against him from half a mile away. Conductor Webb heard the engineer's whistle for brakes when approaching Jackson. He claims he turned the automatic brakes on the car without effect. The same cause that operated against the engineer's lever made the automatic car brakes Impotent.

It Is claimed by the men that there was no time then to apply the hand brakes before the crash occurred. The KiiKlnrrr'a Story. William Whalen, the engineer of the engine which crashed into the other, was able to see an Asociated Press reimrter tonight, to whom he gave the following account of the accident: -x "We left Detroit at with one of the best engines on the road and a train of twelve coaches. The engine worked remarkably smoothly for a new one, and I was congratulating myself ujon the fine manner in which it was working. We stopped at slowed up at Wayne junction and stopped at Ypsi-lanti.

The air worked all right at these points. At Ypsilanti there was a large crowd about the engine. This Is the hardest point on the line to stop, as It is down grade, but we had no difficulty. We made no other stop till we reached Jackson. Just east of Jackson junction I turned the air brakes on ami, finding they vorked all right, shut them off.

As we crossed Elmer-ave. I applied the brakes again, when I found they did not work on the train, a'thouh they did on the engine. "I then whistled for brakes two or thre times and reversed my engine. I spoke to the fireman and told him the brakes did not work, and to look out for himself, at the same time fiulling the lever. I held the throttle unTil we were within three car lengths of the rear of the other train, when I went out thiough the window of the cab as I could not get to the gang-way In time.

My fireman jumped first. I fell on a rail and was whirled around several times, nearly falling under a train on the next track. I think a truck box struck me as I fell. I was dazed for a few minutes, but recovered und found both of my legs badly injured The doctors think the right one is fractured, and the other is badly bruised from the knee to the ankle. I can give no explanation as to th cause of tlie air brakes refusing to work.

The only reason I think is that while stopping at Ypisihmtl some one might have turned the shut off cock at the rear of the tender. I do not know that this was done, but can think of no other reason." Slraaee Coincidence. This wreck is the first of consequence on the Michigan Central for fourteen years. On Oct. 10, 1S79, the west-bound Pacific express crashed into a switch in this city, killing eighteen people and wounding twenty-five.

Jackson people regard it as a coincident that these horrible wrecks occurrel in the yards in this city in the same month and the same day the weak Friday. In all parts of the city tonight people are gathered in knots discussing the latest acci-dnt and the one of fourteen years ago, which occurred within a stone's throw of the place where the debris marks the place of the day's wreck. Burnett, agent of the American express company in this city, was among the first visitors to the wrecked train and unexpectedly met two of his cousins. Miss Maty Sills and Georgia Burnett of Gouvenor. X.

who were passengers on the first car of the second train, and who fortunately escaped injury. A peculiar i-oin ident is the fact that when the great wreck occurred in 1S79 at Jackson Junction Mr. Burnett was visiting these same cousins it their home in New York. Dr. Glenning of Ithaca.

X. was standing on the platform of car 402 an instant before the crash came. He jumped, escaping with but a few scratches. Frank Faley of Elmria, X. was in the last car eating of a basket of iM-aches with a friend when the crash came.

A huge timber struck him in the forehead, knocking him unconscious. His friend was killl. but he escaped by crnwllng out of the coach window. He was removed to the Ford house and a large piece of board was taken from his back. His injuries, however, will not prve fatal.

ickw I's perience. James A. Xick of Xew York was a passenger on the forward train, which came over the Lackawanna mad to Buffalo. He was standing near the train when he saw the Xew York Central coming in. "I supposed it was on another track and I heard the whistle, then I realized what was coming.

I cried to the passengers, but my warning was too late. I saw the engineer of the New York Central train jump before the crash came. The most terrible agony was depicted on his face and he stood bearing down on the throttle In his futile effort to avoid the accident. Some one has blundered, but I do not think it was Whalen. "When the locomotive crashed Into our train a series of cries that froze my blood filled the air.

Once before I have heard Fuch cries. It was at Gettysburg. After the crash I lost my head with the rest and rushed wildly about doing what I could to aid the passengers. My hands and arms are cut, but I know nothing Of how it hajpened. My wife and daughter escaped by a miracle.

They were wedged in between two seats. My daughter's hand is slightly scratched, but my wife was not hurt at all." One of the passengers in the telescoped coaches who escaped alive was eating lunch when the collision occurred. In front of him sat a newly married couple who were enjoying1 a trip to the fair. Thev died in each others arms, crushed to death by the weight of the coach which fell upon them. How this gentleman escaped he does not know.

A beam grazed his face making a bruise. George H. Koehler of Harnmondsport, X. was a passenger on the Ill-fated train. With him were his mother, Mrs.

J. H. Koehler, and daughter and a friend of Elmira. N. Y.

The daughter and her friend left the car for a stroll, and were just returning when the second special dashed toward the station. Mr. Koehler gave his daughter anr her friend his seat and left the car for a short walk. He had hardly left when the crash came. There was a tremendous crash, and the two rear cars were telescoped.

Mr. Koehler's mother was thrown through a window his feet, mangled almost beyond recognition. He picked his mother up and bore her away. Returning he found bis daughter in the wreck. With the help of trainmen she was taken out seriously hurt.

Her friend was taken from the car dead. Ills Wife Dead. T. X. Beardslee of East Canton, told a sad story.

He was not Injured himself but his wife was killed instantly and his daughter was so badly injured that she cannot recover. "I brought some coffee to my wife a few moments before the accident and I went to the smoker at thi head of the train to have a cigar with a friend. I had got scarcely seated when the awful crash occurred. I realized at once what had happened and my first thought was for my family. I rushed to the rear of the train.

My wife and daughter were riding in the third car frcm the end. The cars were in such a heap that I could not see the car I looked for. I looked for car Xo. ITS and not finding it in the train I knew that my wife and daughter were In the wreck. I cried to the crowd that had gathered aroundL to make a way for me for God's sake.

They helped me crowd my way through and the first of the Injured discovered was my daughter. A few feet away from her I found my wife lying dead. She had been struck in the head and I forced through tne front part of the car and found her lying on the platform of the car forward and fastened In the wreck. My daughter was free but unable to help herself." One of the ghastly phases of the accident was the decapitation of Mrs. D.

II. Gibbs. She was accompanied by her husband, was out of the car at the tima of the collision. She was not Identified until tonight. Mrs.

Gibbs's husband was one of the active searchers for the dead, but did not recognize her when she was taken from the wreck. He made a trip through the different undertaking establishments tonight and was horrified to find his wife among the dead. Mrs. Gibbs, from the nature of her decapitation, was caught between two short pieces of timber on a car seat. STRYCHNINE I SED.

CHICAGO, Oct. 14. An attempt by four train robbers to hold up the fast express out of Chicago on the Chicago, Milwaukee St. Paul road was frustrated at 2 this morning by Jesse Merrill, the telegraph operator at Oak Glenn! The actions of the men and the fact that they had a red lantern aroused Merrill's suspicions and he wired to his superiors In Chicago. They quickly took out a car load of armed police, but the cautious movements of the train seemed to have wanted the robbers, and they fled, leaving their lantern.

TRADE INTERESTS WAITING, BEIXG FILLY SATISFIED AS TO TUB FITIRE. The GoTfrnment Crop Report Ilave Xot Helped Specnlntion and heat Has Weakened Improvement la Some Leading; Line of Business. NEW YORK, Oct. 13 N. G.

Dun weekly review says: "The country has been waiting. Whild uncertainty has prevailed, men have not known what to do with safety and po have done as little as they could. Industries cannot always wait, and in them an arrest of improvement generally means some reaction. Merchants who have obligations to meet cannot always wait, and for some there has come misfortune. The speculators and traders wait because they have no substantial bas.s for a Judgement The volume of business transacted Increases some because the longer people go without clothing or food or other necessaries the more certain their demand is to revive.

"Government crop reports have not helped speculation because they are not in harmony with prevailing judgements. Wheat has weakened Hie. though the government report would indicate a yield of 391,000,000 bushel, so small as to warrant higher prices. Western receipts for the weak have been bushels, against P.S'il.OT! last year, while Atlantic exports have fallen to 621.SSI bushels, again-t 1,90.123 last year. Corn has advanced lVc, pork products being unchanged, but either would be very much stronger if men put full confidence in ofiicial estimates.

Oil has risen a cent and coffee is unchanged. Cotton stands just where it did a week ago. In spite of a report which some interpreted as conclusive proof of a yield far below that of last year, but the enormous stock of old In sight here and abroad would explain great hesitation in that market, even if the official estimates were fully ored-ited. Cotton goods show a general improvement in tone, though weak in spots. The demand for woolen goods is not a third of the magnitude, and sale of wool at the three chief markets fur the last week were 2.500.4.2 pounds, against 7,003.000 last year.

Th situation is a one, which perplexes the ablest dealers, anl though in dress gKds a steady demand appears, the uncertainty as to men's goods, knit goods and carpets is as great as if months had not elapsed with extraordinary narrow distribution of products. Outside of Xew York, boot and shoe factories are but poorly employed and eastern shipments were 34 per cent. blow lat year's, but bright spots appear in women's shoes and in rubber goods. "The failures for the past eck number 394 in the United States, against 1.SS0, and forty-two in Canada, against twenty-six last year. Eighteen failures were in magnitude exceeding 1100,000 and eighty-four were over $0,000 each, but less than JlOO.ooo.

The aggregate of liabilities in failures the first week in October was only though the number was large. This week the liabilities have apparently been increased." Ilrndntreet's Report. Bradstreet's financial review tomorrow will say: "The abandonment of the continuous session in the senate gave the market on Friday morning a bad shock, followed up in the later hours of the day by the announcement of a receivership for the Union Pacific. While the adoption of the plan of forcing through the silver repeal had not aroused any enthusiasm or caused active bullish manifestations, the general feeling in financial and speculative circles during th earlier days of the week had been one of satisfaction verging into hopefulness, and the market, dull and professional as it was. showed a very firm undertone.

The announcement of the failure of two banking houses at Providence failed to affect the market, which had previously resisted with ease the serious bear movement cf the first part of the week directed against Louisville Nashville and Union Pacific, the latter being duo to further rumors cf a receivership, which were confirmed before the clos on Friday. All such factors were subordinate to the silver repeal bill, and the subsequent action of the market reflects the intense and controlling Interest which the matter exercises." Rradstreet tomorrow will say: "Con-tinud cheerful advices from a number of leading southern trade centers, rporH of a very large distribution at Chicago as the outcome of the immense woild fair business and ari improved demand at several points west of the Mississippi as a result of cooler weather are among the most favorable fea I revealed by telegrams to Bradstreet's this week. Large sales and beter prices for cotton have encouraged country buying in th South, and business at New Orleans. Dallas. Memphis.

Atlanta. Richmond and Mobile has improved. Th Lonis-iana sunar crop will be lare. Iilce 13 active and higher. New England trade does not improve.

A hmd-to-mout demand ron Unucs. Textile trades generally are quiet. Iron is weak and lower for structural sorts. At Pittsburg mills are running only on part time. The coal trad" has improved at Baltimore and Philadelphia.

Exports of wheat and flour from both eor.sts of the United States and Canada this week equal bushels, as con -Pared with 3.12.t:l last week, bushels in the same week hist year and 4.47S.9S7 in 1SD1. Visible supply of wheat in United Stabes and Canada 3.47S.O00 bushels last we-ek. against an increase of 1.8S5.000 bushels the preceding week. Decreats in Eiirojio and Austrian stocks, however, caused the tt'il world's wheat stocks to increase 3.074.0OO bushels. At Toronto there is a fair trade in tiry goods and grcerie-s.
