Chicago, Sept. 22. Four persoo dei, two dying, nud live teriously wounded was t he i exult of homebody 'ii care lesa ties at Doughs Park btation last evening. Shortly after 7 p. rn. tt train of the Illi nois Central roud stopped at Kedzi- ave nue. It was the last of four section which were taking home a crowd of excursion ists who bad gone out to Addison to eu Joy themselves. At Clyde tlie train wa shunted to the Burlington tracks and at Douglas Park fetation it stopped. Aa it backed toward the west the Downer Grove express of the Burlington road came thundering along, und lie fore brakes could Ihj set or ularm given, the pilot of the Burlington engine went crashing into the reu'r end of the pic-nlc traiu. Terrible Work of the Collision. The second car was a light suburban one. The one behind and the one ahead of it were regular coaches, n gread deal heavier. When the Burlington train struck the rear coach of the traiu it rose from its trucks sind plowed over the tin der box in its way. For ton feet it was a complete telescope. The heavier coach behind cut down the light one in front as though it was un eggshell and the human beings in its way were ground to death or cruelly injured. Four persons were killed instantly and seven others were injured, two of whom will die. Mauy others were slightly hurt and all aboard the picnic train and the Burlington passengers were thrown from their seats and severely slwiken up. Katiira of Those Canght In thn Wrt-fk. Following is the list of killed and in jured: Killed Lily Diunier. 18 years old; Martha Binnier, SO years old, a sister of Lily; two unknown men, one apparently about 18 aud the other years ol" age. Fatally Wounded Minnie Pilgrim, S3 years old, both legs broken and some in ternal injuries; Otto fc?cloir, 18 years old, badly crushed and not expected to live. Injured Louis Torpey, leg broken; Al bert Jierger, loot crushed; Henry New man, face crushed; Til 1 iu Burke, collar bone broken and internal injuries; Freda Boswick, left leg crushvd. Orders Issued for Arrests. Had the Burlington train been running at a high rate of speed every person in the car would have met instant death. Citi zens carried most of the killed and in jured into the little station before the po lice arrived. No sooner had the accident happened than the conductor of the I111-. not Central traiu uncoupled the tele scoped cars, and with .the rest of his train drew into Chicago, The police at once seut word to the central station ordering the arrest of all the train hands, but only the conductor and the brakemau could be found last night, the fireman and engineer having fled. No Hear Lights Displayed. Robert Dixon, the engineer of the Bur lington train, in an interview said: "I am positive there were no rear lights dis placed on the rear of the Illinois Central train, and the flagman did not flag us. I had every reason to suppose I was run ning on a clear track when I went into the rear end of the excursion train." The tendency of those who saw the accident was to put the blame on the Central train men. LATER. Robert Dixon, the engineer of the Burlington train; Jack Walsh, his fireman, und Conductor Ray, of the same train, were arrested last night. No one on the Burlington train was hurt; in fact, the train itself was scarcely damaged. THE WRECK ON THE READING. Twenty Persons Lost Their Lives and Thirty-One Were Wounded. RARDIKO, Pa., Sept. 22.

Editor O'Brien and John Dillon, the Irish leaders, have been for some time making speeches in differ int parts of Ireland advising the tenants to refuse to pay their rent, and although this is a violation of the orimes act, the government seemed to be indifferent to their actions. Consequently, when the two men were arrested yesterday and taken to Tlpperary to answer a charge of con rpiracy, it wus something of a bombshell in the ranks of the Nationalists. ,It wus Immediately asserted that the govern ment's object was to prevent the depart ure of the two men . to the United States, where they were going to raise funds to be used iu electing Home Ruio men to parliament. .Something of a Misapprehension. This may liMe had some little weight in the matter, but is not believed to have had much. O'Brien's, last trip through America und Cana la did not have suffi cient effect In evoking ill-feeling against England or in swelling the contributions to tlie Irish cam paigu funds to justify any great apprehensions us to the result of the expected tour; and the same state ment may be made in reference to former American journeys of Dillou and Red mond.
