THE BROKEN D
Fuller Details Of the Disaster on the Big
Muddy. q

We gather from the Omaha Herald
of Sunday the subjoined interesting
details of the disaster to the Union
Pacific bridge, which occurred last
Saturday:
The only eye witness is an intelligent
Scandinavian named John Pierson. He
said the tempest first began about 3
O'Clock, the wind coming from the
northwest with hurricane force. The
lightning was incessant and ran in
streams of fire along the iron columns
of the bridge. The air was filled with
hail, which created an Internal din.
Ten or fifteen minutes of this warfare
Of the elements was kept up without
any injury to the structure, when a
sudden lull occurred, and the wind sud-
denly changed to the northeast. At
this juncture Pierson came out Of the
little guard-house, and says he saw a
dense black mass coming down the
river, which appeared to be balloon
shaped but tapering at each end. 1t
came on with a terrific roar, and burst
upon the bridge with d~eafening fury.
Before he could regain his little house,
the catastrophe had occurred, and he
was a prisoner in the debris. At the
moment Of destruction he says the
scene was lit up by a binding glare of
electric light. The massive iron struc-
ture appeared to be lifted up to a great
height above the piers and dashed to
the earth with inconceivaDle force.
When he recovered himself and
climbed to the top of the grade, the
dark, whirling mass of wind and water
was speeding away to the southwest,
and the storm had practically spent its
fury. He signalled to the Waterman
on the other side of the bridge, but re-
ceived no answer 1t was about time
the early passenger train should pass
over the bridge, and the possibility of
another appalling calamity similar to
the Ashtabula horror occurred to him,
and after a few more fruitless efforts to
arouse the Waterman, he procured a
skiff and rowed across the treacherous
river in the storm and darkness, mar
rowly escaping drowning by being
dashed upon the piers, and foundering
through the quaking quicksands of the
bar under the middle Of the bridge,
reached the west shore by swimming
the second channel. He arrived at the
depot only a few moments before the
train was ready to start.
The extent of the damage is esti-
mated by Mr.. Clark to he almost $780,
600. The first cost Of the bridge was
2 800, 900, of which the piers cost more
than half. 1t would be a safe estimate,
however, to put the expense of rebuild
ing each span at $4,000 owing to the
great outlay which will be required
before work can be commenced.
The eastern trains arrived a few
hours late, but hereafter will come in
regularly, with the exception of those
on the Rock Island road, which will
stop at the Bluffs. The Burlington and
st. Joseph trains will hereafter come by
Plattsmouth, and those on the Chicago
s. Northwestern will cross at Blair, on
the Sioux City & Pacific transfer, and
come In on the Omaha & Northwestern
track.

1t was last Thursday night. There
were four young men wearing blue
badges and three young men without
badges, grouped together on 18th street.
The hour was 1880 O'Clock. One of the
badge wearers said: Lets get some
beer before we go up to the church.
Another asked: "What shall we do
with our badges ?"
To which a third replied: 1--WE can
put them in our pocket while we are in
the saloon"
The badges were unpinned, placed in
vest pockets, the seven entered a saloon,
drank each a glass of beer and started
for the Murphy meeting.

Slack has always been for sale about
election time; year ago the Democratic
organization was about to close a bar
gain with him for the support of its
ticket, when two machine politicians,
who claimed the control of the Sun.
stepped in and prevented theconsumma-
ton of the bargain. The present cam.
paign does not promise to be a profita-
BILE n for Slack; nobody wants to
invest in such a slippery fellow as he
is, for he does not eve stick to his
contract after he gets his pay, the
highest bidder eventually getting away
with his support"

Is Your Life Worth 10 cen,s7


Sickness prevails everywhere, and
every body complains of some disease
during their life. When sick, the OBJ
ject is to get well; now to say plainly
that no person in this world that is suf-
fering with dyspepsia, liver complaint
and its effects, such as indigestion, o s
tiveness, sick headache, sour stomach,
heartburn, palpitation of the heart, de-
pressed spirits, billiousness, etc., can
take Green's August Flower with
out getting relief and cure.
If you doubt this, go to your druggists,
Addoms & Glover, and get a sample
bottle for 10 cents and try it, or a regu-
lar size for 70 cents. milf
