Terrific Storm at Omaha.

OMAHA, August 25.-At about halt
past three this morning, during the prev,
sence OF q terrific rain and wind storm,
about five hundred feet OF the eastern part
Of the Union Pacific iron bridge were
pr"cipitsted into the river. The piers
are LETT standing uninjured, but the rest
OF that part OF the bridge is total wreck

gers and freight via PlstLsmouth, Ne.
brsska, and Missouri Valley.
CHICAGO, August 25.-PrIvste sdvices
announce the destruction in the night OF
the bridge across the NJ Mlssouri at Omaha.
1t is reported, also, that the transfer boat
was swept away.
COUNCIL BLUFFS, August 25.-TwO
spans OF the Missouri river bridge at
this place, $50 feet each in length, were
blown down and almost wholly destroyed
during the violent wind and rain storm
which prevailed here this morning. The
storm was from the north, and struck
the easterly end of the immense Struc-
ture with such force as TO wrench five
and topple 1t into the river, twisting the
large wrought iron stringers and col.
umns into an endless variety of shapes.
About one half of the debris is out O.
SIGHT under the water, and the remainder
lies on the side and At the
foot OF the high embankment
on the eastern approach. 1t is
impossible ut this writing to give any
thing like II correct estimate oi the loss,
but it Is undoubtedly very heavy. The
dlsmantled piers, so far as eau be ascer-
talned, are uninjured, rs also is the re-
mainder OF the bridge, nine spans III
length. ln consequence o! this disaster
communication with the West is wholly
interrupted at this point for the present,
but arrar gements will doubtless be per-
fected shortly, either for the erection OF
temporary spans until permanent ones
are supplied, or for the transfer OF freight
and passengers by terry. 1t Is expected
that connection with the West viii be
re-establIshed this afternoon.
OMAHA, August $3.50 NJ
There are various surmlses as TO the I'M
mediate cause of the accident TO the
Union Pacific bridge, but The general
opinion seems to be that it was u cyclone
which struck it, John Peroon, the
night wstchman, was in the guard bouse
at the east end at the time the accident
occurred and had narrow escape from
death He WAS penned in the river for
nalf al hour before being able to extrI
cate himself The loss Is estimated at
about three hundred and fifty thousand
dollars. 1t will probably require two TO
three months to rebuild the structure.

The permanent location of the Capt.
tai OF West Virginia has been vexed
question and a bone of contention, be-
tween different sections, ever since the
first formation of the State. Now, that
it has been legally and permanently To-
Gated At Charleston by lair aud an
honest vote OF the people, 1t Is ressoGa-
bic To presume that this disturbing ell
ement in the politics and local issues OF
the State will not be felt or heard OF
any more from now and hencetorth.
The honest people OF the whole State
had grown tired and weary OF the un-
ceasing, and seemingly unendlng, tur-
mol attending the agitation OF the Capt.
tai location question They had become
sick the many Intrigues, political al
otherwise which had interviewer them
selves into almost every ranltication OF
>tste polity and State government
West Virginia and ner people have a
better destiny before them than to be
engaged in such pitiful and ignoble
struggle. such rs she and they have been
engaged In since the State has had al
existence. She has other and greater
interests than the mere location of her
State Capital. She cannot afford to trlt-
ter away IL ore of her time on this lire.
When members of the Legls-
lature, Congressman, Governors,
United States Senators &c, are TO
be chosen, no Capital location question
will hereafter interfere with the dehbera-
tlons OF the people. Their harmony will
not be disturbed upon this score. This
Is, indeed, u pleasing consolstion-a
happy thought Appropriations to this
State institution and to that enterprise,
will not depend upon the Capital ques
tion. There will be no more fixed up
