GRADE AND CRASH INTO
ANOTHER TRAIN.
CAUSED BY DEFECTIVE BRAKE
TRAIN CREW AND PASSENGERS
SAVE THEMSELVES BY
JUMPING.
-Spring Valley, Minn., April 24.E.
C. Stublefier of 290 East Sixth street,
St. Paul, was instantly killed and sev
eral other people were injured in a
railroad accident near here yesterday.
The afternoon train, a mixed freight
and passenger, from Spring Valley to
Woodville, was stalled on a hill two
miles west,of town. The coach and
two cars were left standing while the
balance went over the hill. A de
fective brake let them get away and
they ran down the hill with great
speed and crashed into another train
just starting up the track. In the col
lision the coach was almost complete
ly telescoped between the engine of
the colliding train and a car load of
slabs. When the cars ran back most
of the passengers jumped, and the
train crew, after doing ail they could
to stop the runaway, also jumped.
Only two passengers, Stublefier and
another man, were in the coach at
the time of the collision. Stublefier
was killed and the other was badly in
jured- Those who jumped were also
hurt more or less. Adolph Simonson,
a brakeman, had an arm cut off under
the wheels B. H. Joslin of Moline, 111.,
arm broken and badly bruised James
Mullen, pumpman, foot and head
bruised and torn. Joslin and Mullen
jumped just before the collision. Si
monson was knocked off the rear car
of the train by the shock. No blame
attached to train crew, as owing to the
absence of air brakes and a defective
hand brake the cars could not be held.
The grade is the steepest on the whole
Northwestern road. A jury sat on the
hody of Stublefier and a verdict re
turned in accordance with the facts.
A special train took Joslin, Mullen and
Simonson to the hospital at St. Paul
and the body of Stublefier to his home,
None of the injured will die.

fjmk CASE.

INFLUENCED.
ESTERHAZY THE REAL CULPRIT
APPEALS TO MINISTER OF WAR
AS SUPREME HEAD OF MIL-
ITARY JUSTICE.
Paris, April 24.Alfred Dreyfus hus
submitted to Minister of War Andre a
lengthy letter-in which he asks for
a reopening of his case by means of
an investigation by the minister, as
the supreme head of militarjjustiefe.
The letter, which is dated Paris,
April 21, confirms the reports that
Dreyfus has been living quietly here
for some time. It promises to cause
a tremendous agitation among the
various elements of the political
groups for and against Dreyfus.
The first part of the letter is an
earnest plea that the court which con
demned him at Rennes was improper
ly influenced, first by the annotated
document ascribed to Emperor Will
iam, and second, by the false testi
mony of one of the witnesses, Czern
uski.
After arguing on the extent to
which these contributed to .his con
demnation,, Dreyfus recalls in graphic
terms the long series of horrors to
which he had been subjected.
The letter throughout is couched "in
a highly dramatic style, which is like
ly to rnake it one of the notable pa
pers of the case.
Dreyfus refers to Esterhazy as "One
who stands before the entire world as
the culprit."
