Daniel Mcclure. engineer of the forward
engine, relates that the train was running
at slow rate. and just AZ they had fairly
crossed the high bridge, which is not more
than forty rods distant from the depot, he
felt violent jar, and in an instant tho
coupling between the two engines haa
broken, and the whole train YVES precipi-
tated, with the bridge, into the river below.

Towards the close Of the interview
Colonel Bush stated that the people de-
manded that Ill members claiming to be
Legally elected to tho House of representa-
tves should be admitted to tho hoor of the
House ct its organization without hindrance
and should be allowed TO bring with them
such friends - they might desire either for
their own personal protection or to witness

circumstances. If ON the day of the meet
ing Of the Legislature he deemed it desir
able in the interests of tho public peace to
exclude from the State House oil persons

Colonel Bush then emphaticslly declared
that tho gentlemen he represented would
under such circumstances decline to take
any part in the proceedings.
Governor Kellogg expressed an opinion
that they would act more wisely in repre-
senting their constituents, attempting to
prevent the passage of bad laws and to Sc
cure the passage of good laws.
The delegation then withdrew. In leav-

the existence of some mode of communica-
