St. Paul, Minn., March 6.--John Gillespie, the millionaire lumberman of Stillwater, was instantly killed and three other persons injured in a railway accident on the Chicago & North-western, near Baraboo, Wis., a few minutes before midnight last night.
Mr. Gillespie's neck was broken by striking against an iron rod. A freight train was standing on a side-track and the sleeper, in rounding the curve, crushed against the rear box-car with force enough to shatter the former into pieces. The injuries to the other three passengers were not serious.
