Following is a pa revised list of the dead and descrip- un tions that may assist in the identification of the unidentified dead. wl The identified dead were: J. D ag Mahon, Princeton, Ind.; A. A. Ham- co! ilton, Polo, 111.; W. C. Kettle, Ashton qu Neb.; Mrs. Mattie Kettle, Ashton thi Neb.; Mrs. Mattie Ezell, Williston, N. ga D.; G. W. Oleson, St. Louis, Mo.; Dr. Da Arville A. Oleson, either from Hik coi dreth, Neb., or Axtell, Neb.; the Rev. R. L. Meiley, either from Brooklyn to N. Y.f or Mechanicsburg, Pa.; Clar? th< ence A. Gooding, Washington; John of Williams, Clarks, Neb.; John Will- tec lams, Des Moines, Iowa; J. C. Davis, fo: of Davis Brigham Drug Co., Denver; coi Henry Dunn, St. Louis, Mo. I to The unidentified dead were: Twelve-year-old boy; eight-year-old j wa girl, wearing plain ring on tnira nn- mi ger left hand; .ten-year-old boy, light Stf hair; six-year-old girl, light hair and eyes; woman, full face, brown hair, th< abont thirty years old, wore blue Wa plaid petticoat and Catholic brooch; da: woman, no description, badly mutilat- oil ed; woman, black hair, dark com- Te plexion, plain gold ring inscribed jui "Nancy," shoes stamped "Selby Shoe Ju Company, Portsmouth, Ohio;" worn- ha' an, with red sweater, blue and white Th striped waist, about forty-flve years ck of age, weight about 110 pounds. tio All the unidentified are women 01 boi children, and their bodies are badly mangled. Ft While nothing official has been given out as to the cause of the Se< wreck, it is said to have been due tc a misunderstanding of orders on the part of the engineer, Gustaf Olson, of the passenger train. Olson, however, asserts he understood his in- th< structions perfectly, but that he mis- P?! read his watch, thus encroaching on Ga the time of the freight train, which was being drawn by two locomotives, thJ the first of which was in charge of wo his brother, Sig. Olson. we When the news of the catastrophe ^e< reached Glenwood Springs every ,as available jhysician and nurse In the city wa3 pressed into service and a relief train was made up. 'an A pathetic feature of the accident to was the killing of a father, leaving Se1 two small children, the eldest being four years old, the youngest two. The a(*< elder boy told a nurse at the sanitarium that his father called him Ben- a9* nie, and this is all he will say. From a fellow passenger it was learned that the family was en route to Grand Junction to visit relatives. It is sup^ . posed that Mr. and Mrs. Kettle, whose Go names appear among the dead, were the parents of these two little ones who are badly injured. ' None of the sleepers left the track ?* and none was killed or injured in these cars, most of the dead and in- ^0: jured being removed from the ruins *at of the chair car, which was complete- *61 ly split in twain.

This weird fraternity, to which i' aly memberc of the medical profes- c on are admitted, is of national g :ope. Its' headquarters are in a v ell furnished clubhouse at 3232 f ake Park avenue. p Chapters exist in New York, Phila- g elphla, Boston, Cleveland, Detroit t ad other cities. Its membership is s iken from the ranks of the, most t rominent practitioners in different t irts of the United States. fl Each chapter is known as a verte- d ra. The Chicago chapter, being the rst organized, is called the "Prime r ertebra." Its high officer is known t! 3 the "encephalon," and its next p [ghest officer is the "medulla." Its b ther officers are named for other \ irts of tfhe human body. c The members of the fraternity e iust undergo a preparation or ap- t renticeshlp of four years before they ^ re admitted to full knowledge of its s eird rituals.

' J Chicago.?Trapped by flames on a wooden crib, surrounded by water filled with huge cakes of ice, at least flfty-tfyree men perished. They had been living on the structure while en gagea in ounaing a section 01 a iunnel which was to draw pure water for Chicago from the depths of Lake Michigan. Powder and dynamite exploded and set the structure afire, and many were burned to death, while others perished in the lake. Fifty-three bodies were recovered, ? and rescuers report that at least three ** men slipped from cakes of ice and X drowned. Some men may be In the I tunnel at the bottom of the lake. I Only thirty-nine were rescued, and *<( many of these were so badly burned or chilled that they will die. | First word of the disaster came in i a telephone message to the offices of f the Jackson ''ompany on the shore, f which said: | "The crib i on fire. For God's I sake send help at once, or a dozen or I more of us will be burned alive. The t tug?" t Then the telephone wire burned off t and the men on shore heard no more. I The crib was one established by 1 the George W. Jackson Company, ? contactors, a mile and '.a. half out Mn the lake, and was connected with shore by an aerial tramway, which proved useless as a means of escape. T. F,*rent for a steel shaft to keen it in place the crib was made wholly n of wood and the flames spread rapidly. The fire was caused by an explot sion of powder or dynamite, and tj. flames immediately enwrapped the ID wooden istructure. y. Those who were not killed by the d first fiery blasts rushed out, to find a no means of escape. On every side ie were the waters of the lake, its surce face almost covered by great cakesof broken ice, A mile anid a half distant near the t0 shore lay tbeir only hope, the tug jr Morford. It could be dimly seen r. through fog and smoke. ,n On the shore a* dim black line inir dicated the gathering of crowds ate. tracted by the Acmes. ia - Captain Johnson., of the tug, had ix .already hoisted anchor, and the v. sturdy little craft was already buck>d ing the ice.'
