TOTAL WRECK" Cars h ike liliaeis Tractita System Crisk W'rtk Dire Resak THIRTY SEVEN KILLED Disregard of Orders Cause a OolliaIon.?Cbirs Are Completely Demolished, anil the Passengers, Vnabie to Mneape, Flung in Kvery Position and Mutilated Terribly. Thirty-seven persons were killed aud froui sixteen to twenty-five injured in a collision on the Illinois Traction system, two miles north of Staunton, Illinois, late Tuesday evening. Three of the injured will die and maybe more. The collision occurred between lo cal train No. 14. north-bound, and an excursion train, No. 73, headed toward St. Louis -and loaded with passengers on their way to view the parade of the Veiled Prophets at St. Lo-uie. The accident, it is said, wus due entirely to the disregard of orders by the crew of the local, which was in charge of M. A. Leonard, conductor, and John Lietmun, of Staunton, rnotorman. Train No. 14 had orders to pa~s train 73 at Staunton. The latter train was running in two sections a ad the orders given to No. 14 wore explicit that it should pass both sections of the south bound train at Staunton. The flrBt section of 73 pulled out on the main track and started north. At a sharp turn in the road at the bottom of a decline, the two tra'n came together in a splintering era.-,. Train No. 14 and the second sectim of 73 were both on the down gradand moving at a speed of ahou forty miles an hour when they met The crew of No. 14 and the cre\ of No. 73, which was composed o! W. V. Duncan, conductor, and E. 1. Young, rnotorman, both of Springfield, Illinois, leaped for their lives as soon as they saw the collision was inevitable, and all four escaped without serious injury. They were badly shaken up, but were able to lend assistance to the injured an instant later. u-sone or the passengers had any chance t* escape, as the crash between the care followed Immediately the criee of warning issued by the ? conductors and motor men as they jumped from the trains. The cars came together with a terrific crash. and both were demolished and piled in one huge mass of wreckage, through which the bodies of the dead and wounded were scattered. It is certain that by far the larger portion of the passengers on both cars were either killed outright or desperately injured. The two trains were no closely twisted together that it was a marvel that anybody escaped death or injury. As quickly as possible word of the accident was telephoned Springfield and Peoria, and a special car was immediately rushed from these points. Other cars were also sent north from Granite City, 111. These last took many of the injured and hurried them back to Uranite City, where they were placed in hospitals. As fast as the dead were extricated they were placed in one of the cars < sent from Springfield. In a short time a car was containing twentyeight bodies, and it was seut to CarHnsvllle, where they were placed in an undertaking establishment. Kate i T..oo/I? ? ?I?We . ...infill uuiy iuree oodles bad i been den tided. < Genera] manager Chubbuck. of the Traction Company, was in Peoria when the news of the wreck was received. Accompanied by minor officials. ho started at one? for the wreck. At Pprlngdeld all the available physicians were placed on Mr. Chubbuck's special car and hurried to Staunton. Within a few minutes after the collision occurred farmers from the surrounding country and nearly every man in Staunton was eh route { to the scene of the accident to render whatever assistance was poesi- , hie. The early comers were greeted with a spectacle such as was nev- j er before seen in that part of the , country. , The two oars had come together , with such awful force that they were | not only telescoped, but they were , actually battered out of all semblance of their original shape. They were simply a mass of splintered wood and twisted iron and steel eight ; feet high. In this pile of wreckage i in?; uvau and wounded were flung t In every conceivable position and ev- ( ery imaginable form of mutilation. i Some of the bodies of the dead " were torn apart, and streams of 1 blood flowed down the debris in a 1 dozen places. The farmers and the I citizens of Staunton worked with des- 1 perate haste, however, and In a short time had taken from the wreckage all of the living and most of the j dead. ( t Passengers Itohhed.

Hkv? VOIl *V*r h??n HaIbvoH fnr hours In a railroad station and com pe'led to remain in the dreary place without a companion, with nothing but old papers and magazines for diversion? Few persons who travel nave not encountered this situation. Why can not a bulletin be printed to indicate places of interest in the city or town, with directions as to how to reach those places, and those signs be hung in plain view in the stations? This is work which could be done by the women's clubs In a city. Often one has a long, tedious wait, and it would, indeed, be pleasant ?o net out into the city and see one, if no more, of the important places, and of print ed instructions were right in view the timid would not hesitate to go out. Give us also tne names of respectable restaurants. One might get (hese places to advertise on the bulletin, which would pay for printing it. How many strange women alone or with children know where to go for a luncheon in a strange city? Some go into the nearest place arouiul the de pot, not always the most cleanly places, and often in not very respectable districts. A timid traveler will suffer in silence before asking questions, and it seems this bulletin could be made so very useful that it would be a good plan to have such a one printed and placed in every station where waits are possible. One of the dreariest days 1 ever spent in my life was at a station with nothing to read but u copy of the Johnstown flood, a backless book discovered in the operator's desk. Yet there was a library within ten minutes' car ride, and n??t an official at the station or any of the loungers kuew where it was lo cated. I doubt if some of them kuew the city bad a library at all. Orange Layer Cake.

THK SOUTH ATLANTIC CORN EX-! POSITION WILL BE Held in Columbia, at Which Eight Thousand Dollar* in Prizes Wall Be Offered. Eight thousand dollars will be offered in prizes for the best corn at the South Atlantic Corn Exposition held in Columbia December 5?3. The South Carolina Corn Breeders Association, who have been promoting the exposition met in the State ? nwiiec i uursiiH) ana completed, plans for the exposition. The organization was perfected and prominent farmers will act as superintenents in tlie various deportments and promote the exhibition of corn from the in various districts of North Carolina. South Carolina and Georgia. Prizes were arranged for each county in South Carolina, for the congressional districts in South Carolina and for the three zones of each North Carolina and Georgia. Sweep-Stakes will be offered for the best 10 ears of yellow corn, prolific white corn, single ear variety white corn, single ear and bushel lots, from all the States. All these exhibits will come together iu Grand Sweep-Stake and Grand Champion Sweep-Stake classes. The largest prize has been offered for the best 10 ears of corn grown in any of the three States. The winner of the Grand Champion SweepStake prize for 10 ears of corn will receive as his reward prizes appr>?ximatlng $400. This is intened to bring out the best corn that can be produced in the South Atlantic Stales and $400 for the best 10 ears will cause the farmers to put for'h their very best efforts in making this exhibit the finest that can be secured. It is said this exhibit will carrygreat honor with it for an exhinit of 10 ears of corn that are the besi that can be grown by any one exhibitor in any of the three states jf South Carolina. North Carolina and Georgia, will within itself be a prize worthy of the highest consideration. A separate department will be set apart for the Hoys' Club and the bovs' exhibits. Thes?* will have special prizes and will be under the direct supervision of the officers of the Farm Demonstration Work iu Soul ft Carolina. An important feature of the exposition will be the individual displays, there being prizes ottered ft.the best individual display In eaoli of the three states and also for h? Grand Champion Individual display. The one who wins the individual display in either of these States will receive prizes to the value of $2 !o and the one making the best display at the exposition will receive an additional prize of $C>0 in cash, thus, rewarding the exhibitor who makot the best display. In order to mane this premium list as large as it is the South Carolina Legislature, last winter, enacted a bill providing ft $1000 In cash to be offered as prizoa to the exhibitors of South Carolina alone. At the same time $500 was appropriated for the use of the Co n Breeders' Association in furthering its cause. Various machinery houses, fertilizer concerns, newspapers, and business enterprises have contributed large prizes. The International Harvester Co., alone has cortrtbuted approximately $000 and the John Deere Plow Co., has made liberal Jonations. The South Carolina Cotton Seed Crushers' Association has also appro* priaieu ?.iuu in rash to bo used for the best corn exhibits made fro'\) South Carolina. In the beginning it wag intended to raise only $4,000 in prizes, together with the $1,000. tppropriated by the State Legislative would'make $f>.000, but the enthusiasm in the exposition has been so widespread, the interest in corn growing in the South Atlantic States so great and the liberality of the varied interests of the South Atlantic States so marked that larger prizes have been secured un'il Ihj total with aggregate $k,000 in machinery. fertilizer cash, etc. Work on the premium list has been completed. and It will come from the press In a few days and be ready for distribution.
