Portage. Wis., Oot. 28.—Soon after
midnight last night the west-bound lim
ited train was ditched at East Rio siding, a
small station about 13 miles east of this
city, on the main line of the Chicago, Mil
waukee and St. Paul railroad. There are
two side tracks at the place, and at the
time tbe train was due there last night
both were occupied by freights, one by a
wild train and the other by train No. 14,
Conductor H. P. Halkev, ot this city,
which had just pulled in irom the west
to allow the limited to pass.
AN OPEN SWITCH.
No. 14 was very long and tne conductor
w as at the bead of the train, relying upon
ihe biakcman to allend to ibe switch.
One report says the rear hrakeman, wnose
business it x\ as to close tnu switch alter
ihe train, tor some reason neglected alto
gether to do so. Another and more proba
ble story is that he started back to close
the switch, but before be could reach it
the limited, which does not stop at any
place except large places, came tearing
down lhe grade at tiny miles an hour and
left the rails at the open switch.
IN A CUT ON A CURVE.
The siding Is in a cut where the road
curves so that the switch Ugh* cannot be
seen Irom the east until tbe train is within
a lew rods of it. so the engineer of the
limited train could not set: the swiiou
light turned wrong until it was too late
to stop. The engine left the track, ran a
short distance and brought up against tbe
side of the cut, toppling over. Toe bag
gage car and two regular coaches fob
lowed, while four sleepers kept tbe rails.
Tbe engine and cars that went off were
badly smashed, and soon took fire from
stoves.
THIRTEEN BURNED TO DEATH.
Engine* r Little and Firemau Egan
crawled out from under the locomotive,
badly bruised and scalded.
The baggage man bad a leg broken.
All tne passengers in the sleepers got
out uninjured except slight bruises, but
in one day coacn thirteen were pinned in
and literally burned to deatn. Manv
others were injured by the severe
snaking.
Toe whole train, excepting one sleeper,
which they were about to uncouple and
draw away, was burned up.
AID NEAR AT HAND.
Superintendent W. G. Collins was on
the easl-bounu passenger N0.2 which was
waiting at tbe station, a few miles this
side of the wreck, lor the limited, and w,is
soonon the scene. A wrecking trHiu with
surgeons went from this city and did all
possible to alleviate the suffering and to
save lives.
Tram No. 2 was obliged to back tip to
th scliyand go over tbe Northwestern
railroad to Milwaukee via Horicon,
Beater Dam and Fox Lake. Tue same
route has been used by trains to-day, as
tbe wreck as yet is not cleared.
Conductor Hankey, ot the freight train,
was so demoralized by the accident, the
responsibility of which res's on his crew
and thus also on him, tbai he took to the
woods in despair, leaving his train. He
has always b en a most eaefui and efii
eieut man, and much trusted by the com
pany. It was a most horrible aud sics
eufng spectacle, the roasting people
making the uivht hideous with ilieiryells,
while the bystanders were unable to ren
der assistance. it was the worst w reck
ever known in the Northwest.
. A SURVIVOR’S story.
Milwaukee, Uet. 28.—8. LoeweDbach
a job printer of this city, was on tbe
wrecked train. Lie says the scenes afier
the aceid-nt were harrowing. The pas
senger coach, which he says contained
between 15 and 20 p. rsons, w as telescop and
at both end", and the fire and smoke that
enveloped the wreck prevented the Im
prisoned and injured passengers from
escaping Tue passengers from the sleen
eis gathered around the blazing cars hut
weie powerle.-s to render assistance.
Men and women could he seen tearing
their hair in the agony of the moment,
aud frightful screams issued from the
death trap. One heavy woman in particu
lar, he says, tore up one of the seats with
almost superhuman strength and endeav
ored to bieak her way out of the flaming
pyre, hut her strength tailed and site fell
to the floor and met a horrible death.
Only three persons escaped from the pas
senger car, Mr. Lowenbach says, a man
and two children. The man was observed
as he forced bis way through tne ventila
tor ou top ot the car with alt the clothing
on bis body Irom the waist downward
burned ofl'and his flesh roasted and bleed
ing from cuts inflicted by broken glass.
Every one of the wrecked csrs were con
sumed, with tbe exception of the last
sleeper, which was cut away irom ihe
burning wreck. All ihe bodmsof tbe vic
tims were burned in the wreck.
TIIE VALUABLE MAIL SAVED.
The mail car was in charge of John
Beercb, of Plainfield, wno with h:s five
men escaped, though badly bruised. They
got all the valuable mail out before the
ar burned. Sixty bags of pipers were
destroyed. Ot tne passengers in the day
coach all perished except two smai
chililreu ofC. R Scherer,ol Winona,Minn.
Mrs. C. R. Scherer and her mother-in
law, Mrs. Rostua Johns, were iu
the car and perished, but were
able to put. the children out through
a window to outsiders. The children
were sent home. The coach contained
about 20 people. The momentum of tho
sleepers behind it raised the centre up
like the letter A. When the bottoms came
together they smashed everything to
pieces and pmnel the people down with
ihe seats. General Manager Miller, who
went out to the scene of the accident at 4
o’clock this morning, returned at 4 o’clock
this atteruoon. He said, in response to a
question, that he bud little inf Filiation to
give beyond what had already been given.
He belmveil that 12 persons lost their lives
iu the wreck.
BUM* or THE VICTIMS.
Of these lie hod been side to get but few
names. Those were Mrs. Scherer, ot Wi
nona, and Mrs. Hosina JoOns,of the same
place. There were two wonieu wearing
the garb of nuns, both ol whom bad
passes. One was the Mother Superior of
some convent, luloi raation receiv'd here
leads to tue belief that she was the
Mother Superior of the convent at New
castle, it) Fon du Lac oountv. The order
Is known as the Third Order of Francis
can Bisters. A merchant at whose store
the Sisters nought goods says there
were three of them, and that
they bad their packages taUeu to
the depot to go up on the night train
to St. Paul, utuor victims whose names
Manager Miller had were 1-ouls
Bl inker, of Ashland, and Emil Wolders.
dorf, a uierohant of Columbus, Wis. Tne
only man who escaped from the burning
car was Dr, Smith, of Chicago, it the
merchant Is correct about there being
threi instead of two Franciscan Sisters
who were going on that train there should
be one added to Mr. Miller’s list ol vic
tims, making in all thirteen. This is
probably me lull number. It may be sev
eral days before the names of ail tho vic
tims arc secured.
IDENTIFYING THE VICTIMS,
Milwaukee, Wis., Oet. 28, H p. m.—
From the most reliable accounts obtain
able 10-uigbi, tiie number wuo peris ed
does not exceed ten, and these wer< all m
the passenger coach noxi to the having •
cur. The only occupants who escaped
were twoobildren, whose mother, Mrs. C*
K. Scherer, handed them nut to a brake"
man. Mrs. Scherer of Winona, was pin"
ned down by a seat and already enveloped
in flames. The rescuer’* hands were
burned to a crisp. None of tne charred
remains can be idem tfied. As far as can
be learned up to to-night the victims are:
Mrs. Scherer, of Winona, Minn.
Mrs. R >sina Johns, of Winona, and her
mother-in-law.
Louis Brinker, residence unknown.
A young woman, believed to be Mrs.
George A. Marr, ot Chicago. Her identity,
however, is very uncertain.
Emil Wiltersdorf, residence unknown.
the unknown dead.
Among the five or more unknown per
sons, are two Sisters of Charity, one of
whom is believed to he Mother Alexis,
Superior of tbe conv*m at WinoDa,
Minn., who was in Milwaukee to estab
lish anew convent.
The injured include:
Conductor Lucius Searle, of Milwau
kee, who is badly hurt about tbe chest,
but probably not iaiaily.
Wade Clark, ol Ocnnoniowoc, a bag
gageman, whose leg is broken.
Charles F. Smith, of No. 516 Wabash
avenue, Chicago, who suffered a broken
arm, and had his wrist and lace cut badiy
by broken spectacles.
James Philips, a Prak6man, was cut
badly about the nead.
No passengers in anv of the sleepers
were killed.
Conductor Searle was in the baggage
car when the shook occurred. With
Baggageman Clarke and Philips, tbe
brakeman, he was pinned under several
b avy trunks. They were unable to ex
tricate themselves.
FACED BY FIRE.
To their horror they saw flames burst in
irom one end of the car. Tney redoubled
their efforts, and Philips managed to
crawl out. Conductor tGarle, thus re
lieved, followed him. Clarke, with a
broken leg, was gotten out, and
the three crawled through a window,
as tho flame* had crept up to yvitbin a
few feet of them. Conductor Searle is
now lying prostrate at his home In Mil
waukee, and tell* this story. Hi* says as
nearly as he can recollect, the occupants
of the car where the frightful incineration
occurred included a woman with a
little eirl of about 6 years
and another dark-haired woman
with a babe less than a year old, a blonde
woman of 30, ts*ho seemed to boa corn
panton of the former one, both bound to
St. Paul, aud two Sisters of Charily trav
eling on a pass. He can recall no de
scription of any others, but say* tbev
would not exceed fifteen altogether. He
has lost his tickets, and so there is no
record.
POSSIBLY TWENTY SIX VICTIMS.
