about three miles northwest OF town,
was killed at the bridge on the 3. &
NJ. r. r.. across Stevenson branch,
west of town, on last Friday night
by a freight train.
He was in town in the afternoon,
and in the evening started for home
walking on the railroad. The next
thing known Of him is that the engin-
eer OF u freight train going west,
about ten o'clock, discovered him on
the bridge, in sitting posture, He
was discovered too late to stop
the train, as the down grade is
steep. The engine struck him
in the side and knocked him
Off tho bridge. The train was
stopped, a man put off to care for
the unfortunate young mar, while
the train ran on to Melrose. whence
telegram was sent back to Abba.
An engine and car were sent down
to the bridge for the young man,
and be was brought up to the house OF
Mr.. L. A. Phillips. He was still
alive and physicians We're called in.
1t was found that his side and arm
were dreadfulIy manglcd, and his
forehead deeply gashed. He ex-
pired in about half an hour after be-
ing brought to the house.
ltis mystery how he came to be
sitting on the bridge, as he was rot
under the influence of liquor. ~-Al-

Fifteen Laborers Buried in Sewer.
INDIANAporIs, Sept. 20.
This morning after the iaborers
had commenced work on the Ken
lucky Avenue sewer, section of the
bank on both sides caved in, covering
the men under ten or fifteen feet Of
gravel and sand. Every effort was
Immediately made to rescue the un-
fortunate victims, and up to noon
two had been taken out alive and one
dead. Two others can be heard and
will soon be reached. 1t is not posi-
lively known how many we're bur.
ried, but it is supposed that ten or
fifteen were engaged on that portion
of the work at the time of the acci-
dent. @
LATER--Reports Of the accident
say that five more dead bodies have
been recovered from the Kentucky
Avenue sewer this afternoon, and
two more who are known to have
been at work are missing and are
supposed to be in the bottom OF the
sewer, making the total number OF
killed eight.
Work is steadily progressing and
the last of the victims will be reach
ed tonight. John Gibson, who was
buried several feet in the sand, was
rescued with but slight bruises, and
three othersan gagged in some Of the
gangs escaped with very slight in
uries.

however, interest the people if he
would write an honest history of the

JUDGE RNAPPS SPEECH

Hon. Joseph G. Knapp who fancies
that he is rnnnlpg for Governor of
Iowa, addressed 103 people at the
Court House this afternoon. About
40 Of these were Republicans astrac-

of the speaker.
He opened out in denuncistion of
the means whereby the 18th, 14th,
and 10th amendments were adopted,
and characterized them as havin Z
boen passed unconstitutionally, and
that they are entitled only to that
weight which the acts of an arbitrary
and tyranieal majority are entitled to.
He repeated tho stereotype jargon
about free trade with tariff adjusted
Tor revenue purposes.

ncunced the benedietion, leaving his
audience grateful for the announce
ment that his tale would be continu-
ed in front of Senator Ballingall's

Judge Knapp is unquestionably
one OF the ablest aud purest men 10
his party, but politics is not his
forte.

Ballingall, democratic candidate for
senator, got off most wonderful
expression which we suppose he
thought suited to that latitude. It
was this: "he thanked God for the Ku
KluG Of the South and said if he uds
tiown there heDoutd find a reason for
joining them. Doubtless Peter threw
that out expecting that it would not
reach other ears than those of Green
Township, and that it would win
with them. We cannot believe that
such are Peters honest sentiments
Tor we honestly believe that if Peter
<was down South in the Hu Kur
4cgions he would be forced to become

get o.t with whole hide. One of
our most respected citizens Charles

The Des Moines Register makes
the following announcement, which
viii bc read with pleasure by many
people elsewhere than at the capital :
The Governor has commissioned
Mrs. Ida North as librarian of the
LIBRARY of the State, and approved
her official bond. This appointment
has been received with universal sat
istaction by our entire community,
among whom Mrs. N. resides. and by
public men elsewhere. Mrs. North,
then resident of Illinois, was mar
ried in 1865 TO the late Major Geo. J.
North, then Military Secretary and
subsequently Private Secretary OF
Governor Stone. Left a widow by
his mournful death, early in 1870,
Mrs. N, has supported herself and
family by her own exertions since
that event. She now steps into a
position she is admirably qualified to
fill, and will prove worth successor
OF the late efficient Librarian. 1t is
not the least praiseworty feature Of
this appointment, honorble alike to
Executive and to appointee, that it
was made entirely without solicita-
tion by her or in her behalf.
