structure gave way the first locomotive
was hurled violently over and embedded
in the ground and completely wrecked.-
The other engine and baggage-car went
down with the wreck in an upright posi-
ton. and the side of the heavy truss fell
over on them. The first passenger car
was whirled around and sank to the bot
tom of the river, lying nearly parallel
with the stream. The second passenger
ear went down end foremost on the first
car, smashing the largest portion of it
into kindling wood, the rear end resting
on the bridge. The next car occupied a
similar position, but swerved to the left
and did not rest on the car in front =

(St., Louis Republican,

Itisin perfect accord with the fitness
of things that Mr.. Pendleton should be
the next Senator from Ohio The place
belongs to him. and any other man in it
would be little less than usurper. The
Ohio Democrats have done themselves
credit in preferring him. for, take him all
in all. he is their ablest and best repre-
sentative. He ought to have been in the
Senate all the last ten years Itwould be
better for Ohio if he had been.
