CARL SCHtRZ' DENUNCIATION.
Bryan and Altgeld as Incltors ts
Class Hatred.
Peoria, 111., Oct. £>.—Carl Schura spoke
here las; night under the auspices of the
Sound Money Democratic Club of Peoria.
T.ne feature of his speech was a bitter de
nunciation of Bryan and Aitgeld. lie said
in part:
Abraham Lincoln and Bryan: Abraham
Unccln and Aitgeid. to associate these
names together as allies in a common
cause—aye. to pronounce them in the
same breath is not only fraud —it is sac
rilege. As an old friend of Abraham Lin
coln. who sat at his feet, receiving his
teachings of justice, freedom and human
ity. and who was with him many a day
in his struggles for the rights of man, for
national government and for the brother
hood of all the American people, I sol
emnly protest against this outrage. I call
upon the people of Illinois to resent and
rep.el it. They are the custodians of Abra
ham Lincoln's grave. Let them prove
themselves the worthy custodians of bis
his tori" character and fame by burying
the repudiatora an 1 Inciters of'class hat
re] who dare to cLaim him a* their own,
under a crushing vote of condemnation.
Inrrraif in Itealnt ration.
Cincinnati. Oct. 25.—When the registra
tion of voters closed in Kentucky recently
it was founrl that the increase w is much
larger than had ever been known before.
The same is true w;th regard to the regis
tration which closed in the Ohio cities last
night. The increase far exceeds all in
crease in population, and the percentage
Is so mm h higher than in any other yiars
that it is the general opinion that the vote
in these two states will be phenomenally
Urge. This belief Is baaed on the fact
that many who have not voted in former
years have registered this year.

B Morris It was probably the largest
congregation that div'ne has add rested in
that edifice. Long before the that

church was crowded, and in front of the

necks, and one of the admirers of his op

THE OREGON PI T TO SEA.
She Will Probnbl)- Go to Aatoria
for That Stiver Service.
San KraJicisco, Oct. 25. The battleship
Oregon steamed ooi to *?a. for the
firs: ttme since her famous trial trip.
Nothing could -h<» learned positively of h«r
destination, but it is common gossip that
the prime object for the trip is to test h<-r
batteries, from big guns down to the
smallest, and to try her in ai| theoretical
maneuvers that could be anticipated in a
regular engagement. It is also stated that
■the Oregon, before returning to this port,
win visit Astoria, in order that the Or< -
gonians may inspect her and be given an
opportunity to present h**r with the silver
service about which so much has been said
and written.
The departure of the big battleship did
not attract much attention, as during the
past few weeks she has steaded about
the bay many times.

The collision occurred between the Me* m
ond section of an excursion train bound; 1
west and the Frisco Valley Pork acoom* |
mods Hon. From what can be learned at
this hour, the accident waa the result bf
disobedience or neglect of ordera on the*
part of the excursion crew, who should
have remained at Spring l*ark for ordarei
and to have let the accommodation train
through. The egeunrion train was tho
second section of a special hound for flt,
James. Mo.. lft> miles west at &U IjMila,
where the Missouri Home for Aged Vet
erans was celebrated today under tho ' |
auspices of the <l. A. R. and the Woman's
Relief corps. The first section hid Sep*
through safely, and the aecond. whtth
conetsied of eleven coaches heavily ladfn
with O. A. R. men, their wives end cttfV ;
dren. left St. Txruis «Hout 9 o'clock. Ac
cording to J. D. IMstutmn. the telegraph
operator ami station arent at Spring Phrk,
It should have stopped at that place tpr
orders. Instead of doing so. the second! fl
section passed by the station and aeen
after met the accommodation train com- .i|
ing down grade at full speed.
Knglneer Hohl, of the accommodation,
was not awaro the second section was pm \'j
the road, and In trying to make the
switch at Kirkwood, crashed Into the fit
fated train in a cut Just thirteen ml)**
from th* ST LOUIJI t'nion station. ThcjiW
was only one cs.r. a combination baggage
and coach on Knglneer Hohl'a train, hut: i
the collision was terrific, both engine*
being demolished and a number of carei
telescope. The wreckage was piled high
on the track, and ahove the sound of es*
caping steam could he heard the cries of
the frightened nnd injured passenger*.
Next to the engine of the exr-uraiOQt *
train was the commissary ear fl'lsd With,
refreshments. Birney MoKenna was In
charge of the edibles, and with htm wan
it Is 14-year-old daughter Maud, Both,
were instantly killed. being scalded and! |
crushed. A number of passenger*, moaUy
young men. were grouped around tpn
temporary counter, eating and drinking*
Almost all wore either killed or Injured*
This and the next car. In which were sev
enty passengers, suffered the worst dafh>
age, arid most of the killed and InjttrJMi
were taken froro them. Knglneer Hohl*
of the a comrnodaMon. which was run
ning on time, waa killed, and his fireman*
Frank Hasier. was -badly injured.
It seems front the statements made by;
men employed on the line that the acci
dent was due to the oversight of one of
ttte oldest engineers on this division of tho
'Frisco. Joseph Dryden, who was la
charge of the excursion train.
"I cannot see how It could hove oc
curred," said sn official of the road to
night. "But Knginc-r Dryden seem* to
have entirely forgotten about No. 12, the
accommodation train. He Is on* of tho
best enwneera on the road, and the over
looking of the train which was traveling
toward him s all the more remarkable for
tho reason r'lat he was for a tlme'lts enfl
r.eer, ar.d was therefor" perfectly fatnWMi
with i»s schedule But the train seems tn
have dropped completely out of his recol
lection. He failed to take the a!d ng. and''
his conductor. Cfc-orge Atwood. who wan
taking tickets, failed to notice the fad."
Imm«~liately after the wreck occurred
people txxan to come in from all dlrectlonn
on wheels. In buggies and wagons and on.
foot, and within an hour after the acci
dent occurred thourands could be seen
grouped around th« pile ef debris. Noi
wrecking train was available. bi*t every,
body ttjrn«f to and in a ahort time had
res-ued the injured and taken out tho
d'-ad. Doctors from surrounding towns
hurried to the *c. ne and rendered what:
assistant they could to the suffering. Who mS
w*re tran«r»ortef| to places of safety. All
the medical resources of St. Louis wero
placed at the d'spc»sal of the "Frisco road
as swri *s ths news of the accident
reached 'he citv dispensary.
At 1 40 o'clock this afternoon ths relief
train bearing the survivors of the wreck
reached the union station and was im
mediately besieged by a crowd of fiiends
and relatives snxloua to see If their dear
ones escaped Injury. Bam.' of tho
wounded were removed to their homes by
friends, wh!l» others wee*, taken to v*rl- i
ous ho«i»itA!*. Amonji the latter wero
three whose injuries will probably prove
fatal. I 'JIB
J D. Diahman, the station agent at |
Spr.ng I'ark, stated to a r<-?>orter tbut hjtd |
th« excursion train stopped at Spring;
Park for ordera. as H should have done,
the accident would have been averted. Ho 3
said he got a rrtVsi-age from Vsll«y ParK ''4
