When tin 1 news ri'iiclitxl Freeport Friday morning that an accident had occurred to the, Minnesota Northwestern passenger train goliigeast, and the dispatch calling for all the-medical skill that could bo procured, excitement ran high--the list of killed being placed at any number from thirty to sixty, and the wounded at a greater number. The first rumor wastlntt a collision hadtaken place at Dunbar; another the train bad gone through a bridge, and the air wus filled with vague and uncertain told seriousness of manner that would lead the hearer to bellAvo that another (Miatsworth horror had taken place. Supt. Murphy furnished a special train, ii'xl in less than -lit) minutes from time the telegram calling for aid had hwu received, the train was ready, the physicians and newspaper men onboard, and en route for the scene of the wreck.

party consisted of Doctors Buckley, Burbank, Currier, Sheet 1 Stoskopf, Fair, Coulter, Crammer, Stearns. Dietrich, Bunson and Mease; Chief of Police Chamberlin, several railroad men and the representatives of the Freeport dailies. At Dunbnr the party changed earn, and at that point the llrst definite particulars wore learned. The scene of the wreck was about two miles east of German Valley, about halfway between that station and Melton, which was soon reached. Upon stepping front the car, the scone was one never to bo forgotten.

Cars strewn in every direction, trucks half-buried in the ground, cars upset, and as one doctor remarked, li it seemed as though the dead must bo piled up like cordwood." The doctors tendered their services to those needing assistance, but beyond a few scalp wounds and severe contusions, there was llttlooneod for their services. It ia Indeed miraculous that the list of killed and seriously injured was not much greater, considering the location of the accident, and tbe destruction of rolling stock. THK DETAILS. Train No. 7 left Freeport nearly three hours late, In charge of Conductor John Flint, with Engineer Holdren.

The train was composed of an engine, baggage, two Mann Boudoir curs and two sleepers. After leaving German Valley, the train was running at a speed of perhaps twenty-live miles an hour, and when near the Ogle County lino, about 2 miles oast, of the station, tbe rails spread, and nearly the entire train was hurled down the embankment. In the tumble the trucks of the cars wore wrenched olT, tho cars overturned and smashed into kindling wood. The engine was not derailed, and after running a short distance, tho tender jumped the track. Tho Des- Molnes sleeper, the rear car, was thrown across tho track, but not down the embankment.

Flames burst, from the sides of the baggage nir, but were speedily extinguished. The Mann boudoir car and the Minneapolis sleeper were thrown upon their sides, and tho smaller slid oft' into the Held, a distance of sixty feet, while the day coaches were ttcallerod aliout promiscuously. The train was a heavy one, there being a large exclusion party from Manitoba, on route for Toronto. There was also an excursion party from St. 1'aul and other points.

In all there was in tho neighborhood of 130 of whom had through tickets via the Grand Trunk Railroad to Canada. Tho shock threw the passengers pell niell In every direction, and with the visions of the recent horrors by disaster on the rail, the women and children- were in no amiable frame of mind, and the shrieks of the injured and frightened passengers were heart-rending. As soon as possible tho train men and uninjured passengers sol to work to extricate tho less fortunate ones. which was speedily after calling the roll it was found they bad groat cause for congratulation; as ii might have been far worse. After un hour's work the last one was rescued, and out of one hundred and forty it was found that beyond contusions, slight cuts and bruises, there were only twenty who needed medical assistance, and of the twenty perhaps two or three may not recover.

The injured ones were taken to the farm house of Mr. I'ipor, near by, where the doctors from ilyrou, Leaf River and Froeport rendered such aid as was' necessary. It is onu of the wonders of the day that such wreck could have occurred without groat loss of life, and to the coolness of Engineer lloldren and Conductor Flint, assisted by the train men, who promptly extinguished the lire while in its incipiency, may be attributed tho saving of many lives. Among those who are moreQseriously injured are the following: A son of Mr. Cahlej, of Minton, Dakota, who hud his sUuil fractured, and severe internal injuries.

Mrs. Con ley and Mrs. Mclntyre. of Winnepeg, both injiin-vi Sam Flood, brakeman, ribs broken. A lady from St.

I'uul, whose name could not be learned, evidently suffering from the effects of the her mind being dnzed. Mr. Furguson, of Dubiuiuo, Cool in jured. Mrs. Frank Hume, of Dubiump, hip bruised and bead injured.

A. F. Uroad, Freeport, ankle sprained. The track was torn up for a distance of over two hundred I'eet, and the road was completely blockaded. A relief train was sent from Chicago, and the officials of tho road telegraphed their employes and aici'im to spare no expense in caring for their patrons.

At the place where the ANOTHER CRASH. A special to the Chicago pupeifr from Ashland contains an account of an accident on the Wisconsin Central, near Fiflelrl, by which one person wiis killed and nearly a dozen wounded. The accident was caused by broken rail, in a most desolate region, and where there are no human The Houth bound passenger on time, and when it arrived at the curve, 15 miles from Fifleld, left the track, and every car was wrecked. Tho cars immediately took lire, but by the prompt work of Superintendent WolfortT, who escaped from the sleeper, with Mr. Sullivan, a holocaust was prevented.

8now was abundant, and was freely used. Many of tho sleeping car passengers aided in the work while attired in their night-clothes. Conductor II.J. Greenfield had charge of the train, and was caught between tho seats of the smoker while passing through, and held a prisoner for some time. Ho has serious internal injuries, probably fatal, and one of his legs was broken.

Mr. Greenfield was taken to Slovens Point, and is in a critical condition. Mr. Greenfield Is well known in Froeport, whore he resided, for a number of years, and is an old and experienced railroad man. Ho was in the employ of the St.

Paul Company for many years, and left this city about three years ago to accept 'position as conductor on tho Wisconsin Centratr Further news from the Stevens Point concerning his condition is anxiously awaited. Charley Stavor, of this was on tlie train, enronto for home to spend the holidays with his parents. lie escaped uninjured, and seut a telegram to his mother announcing the wreck and safety.

The bravo lire laddjes were on the alert, and In a very few seconds they were on the way to the (ire with 1000 feet.of hose. They bad not proceeded far down street before they saw blaze arising from the Freeport Canning Factory, which was erected lust summer by Emery Keene, of Portland, Maine.

When tho firemen saw the Hank Lawson let the spirited team" of bays go for all they were worth, and you can just bet that Hank never stopped to road the sign over the'entrance to the Stephenson Street bridge which says, "Any person driving 'over this bridge faster, than a walk will be subject to a (ino of $5." The horses, hose cart and firemen fairly (lew across the bridge. The hydrant at the coal office in East Freeport is the nearest to the tho boys attached to it. It took all the hose they had on the cart to reach the blaze, and then the building is hard to approach on account of tho river and Taylor's tannery. Chief Fire Marshal Roderneier directed the boys to play on the doomed building with the one stream, and sent the hose cart back to the engine house for more hose. If he could have had two streams of water on tho building from tho start he could have saved nt least a Our Buildings Insured.

It seems that none of the school buildings at Rockford are insured, but an insurance ogent of that city ivci-nt- ly sent out a circular lettwr to tbe surrounding cities to see if they had th-ir public buildings insured.

Matthew's Opinion. A great many of our readers remember Col. M. W. Matthews, tbe talented gentleman who delivered the eloquent address last fall at the Stephenson County soldier's reunion at Lena.

He is the able editor of the Champaign County Jlemld published at Urbana, and in the last-issue of that paper be gives our Cochran, the following well-deserved compliment: James S. Cochniu, of Freeport, is being frequently mentioned as a candidate for lieutenant governor on the Republican ticket. We have the honor of personal acquaintance with Senator Cochrau and know in what esteem he is held in Northern Illinois especially, and over the state generally. He is a line scholar, a thorough gentleman, staunch Republican and un efficient writer and speaker. Ho would be a strong candidate before the people for any ofllce in the state." accident occurred, the road makes a curve, and when the rails spread, the entile train was The accident caused great excitement, iu Freeport, and exugented rumors increased the anxiety for full particulars.

But the hose cart only carries a little over 1,000 feet, and it took all of that to reach the blaxe with one stream. By the time the boys went to the engine house and back the building was far beyond control, but the brave firemen would not give up.

They got the second stream in action, and then did some very effective work, but all to no avail for at that time the buildings were not worth saving. They are built entirely of wood and they burnt like shavings. There was large crowd of people present and they rendered all the assistance in their power, for everybody who was present sympathized with the young men who owned tho canning factory. After the flre was over the fireman looked like huge icicles. They were completely drenched with water and it froze to their clothes so they had to stand up to the stove to be thawed out before they could get their clothes oil.

Tho did good and faithful work, and if there bad been such a thing possible they would have saved the buildings. But.for the fact that tho lire was under headway when the alarm was given, and although they got a stream of water playing on it us soon as human handa could do it, it was an utter im- posibility for one stream to put out such a blaze, especially on wooden buildings. If the buildings had been of brick, the fireman no doubt could have put tbe fire out without much loss. Taylor's tannery and other buildings in that vicinity were not damaged a particle, although it looked for time as though tho tannery, Williams elevator and all the other buildings in that vicinity would be consumed by the flrey flumes. Hut the fireman kept- the burning buildings pretty well soaked, and as a result the sparka did not fly to any very great extent, arra we can be thankful that the fire was no more than it was.

HOW IT HAPPENED. Mr. Emery wus interviewed this morning by a JOURNAL reporter. He says he has no idea how the fire originated. There wus no fire in the part of the building where the flre is supposed to have started.

The boiler and engine were in tbe opposite end of the little if anyfire was under the boiler when theyleft the building in the evening. There had been no lire in the stove, since three o'clock yesterday afternoon, so it could not have originated there. The buildings were insured for $9,000, about $2,000 of which is held by the German Insurance Company of Freeport, and the balance by outside companies. Besides the buildings, machinery, there was $2,500 worth of goods distroyed. Mr.

Emery estimates the total loss at $12,000. "Will you rebuild?" was the question the reporter put to Mr. Emery. "Yes, sir," be replied. "We are not discouraged a bit, of course it is tough luck, but we will have new buildings put up in the spring.

Mr. Emery does not know yet what the new buildings will consist of, but they may be built of brick. Emery Williams have been using a portion of the buildings for some time, in the manufacture of corn cob pipes. But last night the pipes got more of a smoke than they were manufactured for. Messrs.

Emery Keene came here about a year ago and erected cunning factory. They are both enterprising, go-ahead, young business men and are hard workers. They built the factory and for several months gave work to a large force of bunds, and canned excellent goods. In their present loss they have the sympathy of all our citizens.
