Mich, Oct. 20th.â€" The worst accident ol'thc year occurred about four o’clock this morning in the yards of the Chicago and Grand Trunk railway, close to the roundhousc. in this city, in which at least 25 persons lost their lives, and double as many more were badly injured. A Raymond and Whitcomb special train of passengers from New York and Boston was returning from Chicago. The train was in charge ol Conductor Scott. of this city. and Engineer Wooley, and took orders at the station to meet at Nichols No. 9, the Pacific express goin:_r west. due at this station at 1.30 this morning. but which was three hours late. The conductor. or engineer, or bmh. of the Raymond special disobeyed orders and passed Nichols station and collided with the Pacific express coming west at the rate of about thirty miles an hour. The two engines were driven into each other and are total wrecks. The one on the exprch was No. 153. :1 new Cook engine. in use only two weeks. The engineers and firemen saw that the collision was inevitable. shut off steam. reversed engines. put on brakes and all. jumped and escaped without serious injury. The conductor of the Pacific express was named Burke and was badly hurt. When the collision took place the second and third day coaches on No. 9. the train goingr west, completely tcl- cscoped. It was in these cars that the horrible. sacrifice of life mok place. The second.coach cut; through the third Conch like a knife, and the roul' passed over the heads of those sleeping, and the ill-lated passengers were completely entoml-ed in a fiery furnace. 'l‘hccn- glue and baggage car of the special were badly wrecked. but the coaches being sleepers. and the train movim.r slowly, escaped injury. The passengers in the four coaches were more or les< injured, and in one of them, No. 13 called the unlucky coach. it having been in several accidents before, there were 25 bodies taken out this morning by the firmncn. They were pinioned under wals and junmed up against the end of the coach by the nexr coach. which had telescupcd it. and then burned like rats in a trap. The acci- dent wus a mile from the fire station. and before the water could be tlll'ltml 0n the cars they were all burned. No one on tho Raymond special was hurt. The Pacific express was made up ol thirteen old coaches, and four of them were completely burned, catching fire l'rom the lamps in the cars. The bodies were burned so badly as to be unrecog- nizable. Nearly all had their heads. arms or legs burned off and cannot be identified as yet. As the second car was driven back through the third it swept the people in a mass to the north end of the latter car, in the vicinity ot .thc stove, where most of the bodies wr-re afterwards lound. The cars im- mediately took fire, and in an instant they were all ablaze. The night yard- uucn and the people living in the vicini- ty were on the scene as soon as possible. One passenger escaped through the doorway. Others who escaped smashed out the windows and climbed through. Only three escaped from the left side, and not more than six from the other side. All the rest of the occupants of the second coach perished. The most horrible sight was that presented by Mrs. Charles Van, Duscn, of Fort Plain. N. Y. . She succeeded in getting half“ way out of the window, but her legs were fastened, and those who ran to her assistance could not release her. She was burned to death before their eyes, with one half of her body still hanging out of the window. Before her suffer- ings were ended by death she gave her name and said she died a Christian. A later account says the total num- ber of deaths is twenty-seven. a- The Great Storm of October 2nd.. On October 2nd a great storm burst upon the northern coast of the Gulf of Mexico, coming without warning of any kind, although even if such Warning had been given the loss of life and property would still have been very great. As it was, with the wind blowâ€"- ing upward of a hundred miles per hour" and waves and backed-up water running fifteen feet above the normal level. some 2.000 lives were lost, with millions of dollars worth of property. The storm came up from the Gulf, and the Signal Service officer at New Orleans had ab- solutely no warning of its approach. The telegraph line from Port Ends, whence the announcement of the storm should have come, broke down early on Sunday night as thebtorm’came up. The principal damage was done to the region about the mouth of the Mis- sissippi, which includes islands and marshes all of very low level. One of the affected and typical regions, the St. Bernard or Lake Borgne Marsh, is a. dead level ocean marsh, with more water: than land. Covering 1,200 square miles. It. was inhabited by 200 fishermen. who lived in cabins builton piling. Chanâ€" deleur Island is another place Where. there was great loss of life, and is also typical of much of the adjoining region. This land rose but three or four feet. above the level of the sea, so that in the storm it was completely submerged. Such places as this represent the entire region, which is a network of islands, bayous. lakes and swamps. whose high. est point is only about seven feet above the normal sea level. The devastated area extends along the Mississippi from a point forty-six miles from its mouth, and runs east and west over an extent of more than 100 miles. In most places the residents were white, of the most. diversified classes, Italians, Spaniards, Creoles. and others. Besides these there were a Chinese and a Malay colony. The inhabitants were devoted entirely to the maritime industries, such as liab~ ing and oystering. The Chinese-were engaged in shipping shrimps to China. The wind, blowing from the Gulf, forced the Water back into the bayOUS and lakes, where it gradually mse and began to pour back into the Gull and Mississippi over the intervening terri- tory. Rain had fallen all Sunday. with a strong wind, and shortly after midâ€" night the storm broke in its fury, the. water rapidly rose, nine feet of water poured over the levees. the low regions. were swept by the sea and submerged many feet; houses were carried away by the wluole>ale and lives and property were destroyed on all sides. The inhab- itants were drowned or killed by the falling houses. so that. only the more robust had a chance to escape. Some of them. it was cstimatcd,.floutcd from twenty to forty hours on rafts and logs. The entire region is literally almost livpnpuluit’tl. Several instances are already on record of islands near the mouth ofthe Mississippi being carried away in storm. but the present disuscer outstrips in its extent anything on record. The loss to shipping is very great. many smaller boats being lost, entirely and others badly dan‘mged. It is calculated that one-half of the popu. lation engaged in the Gulf fisheries is lost and that nine-tenths of the vessels are destroyed. Hall of the orange crop is gone and many of the trees in the orchards are blown down. Many of the. bodies were washed out to sea, and the immediate burial ofthc remains of those left on the devastated coast became one of the sad necessities of the case. In Mobile and its vicinity much dsmv age was also done; but the appalling catastrophe at the mouth of the Min-six. sippi outstrips and overshadows it our. pletcly.-Sei¢ntt;fic American. m .; “xv-Va, u. any: .. -m.-,~.,. x...
