Terrible accident Oh the Cen
trail e. II. 1T Stevens Point.
Friday the 9th inst, Louis Anderson,
fireman on the night passenger train
was instantly killed at Stevens Point.
The accident occasioning his death
was caused by misplaced switch,
throwing the passenger train upon the
sile track where was standing a mix
Ell train. The unfortunate man had
just gone to the front Of the engine to
oil, and probably did not observe that
the train was moving other than upon
the straight track to the depot. The
engineer discovering the condition of
things Immediately reversed his engine,
and jumped from his cab. thereby saw
ing his life. The train was moving at
the rate Of about eight miles an hour
The lower part Of the body Of the
murdered man was terribly crushed,
and his life blood was sprinkled upon
the freight cars and engine. He was
married only the Sunday previous to
the disaster; his wife living at Me
nasha. He had been in the employ Of
Of the company sometime and was con
sidered an excellent, and most reliable
man. We gather these facts from the
! Point Journal.

The Bridge Question. The
question of new bridge is exciting
our people fearfully. We are glad to
see them awakened, for these dul
times require little stimulus to pre-
vent stagnation. The contract has
not as yet been let. The bids overran
the sum fixed by the Co. Board viz.
$500 if we are informed correctly.
A new question has sprung UP how
ever and is being agitated with deal
Of enthusiasm. Inasmuch as new
bridge is required, our people are di-
vided as to where it shall be located,
certain parties desiring that it be
placed near the foot of the rapids.
The offers of those most deeply inter
ested are liberal, nearly Sc, 900 being
already pledged by private subscrip-
ton for its building, provided that it
be located at a point where a landing
may be made near the Rablin House.
The idea is that the county shall be
subjected to no extra expense in its re-
construction at another point. 1t is
claimed that the cost Of construction
will be but trife more than if re
builded on the old piers. We are
quite positive that majority Of the
people Of the county--and it is the
people who pay for it-would favor
the rebuilding at new point specified
provided such rebuilding involved no
extra cost. In the meantime, gentle
men please remember that whatever IS
done. must be done quickly for the
winter is passing, and that old shell is
.spassing away"
