General Smash. Up To-Day at the New
port Bridge.

This morning about II O'clock train on
the Louisville Short Line drawing q long
line of freight cars jumped the track while
ascending the grade to the bridge in New
port
The train in order to make the grade runs
al much greater speed than is allowed
and it is said was running at the rate OF
twenty miles an hour this morning when
the cars jumped the track at the Taylor.
street crossing.
The iron fence on the east side that en-.
closes the track is destroyed for fully a
square, and the large stones forming the
foundation were thrown down the em
bankment. - -,,.s
Several of the cars are jammed up to.
gether and complete mass of ruins, and
the track for fully square is torn up and
the aeepers broken into splnters.
1t is impossible at present to state the
loss, but it will be considerable. A gang of
men were put to work at once. but it may
be fortv-eight hours before the track is
clear. Passengers will be transferred in
omnibuses from Newport for the present.

The advance made in the home-raising of
rosebuds and other fine Christmas flowers
is one of the notable incidents that may to
some extent be ascribed to the influence of
the Exposition. A few years ago nearly all
the choice flowers used during the holidays
by the Cincinnati florists were received from
New York, Philadelphia and Boston, and
of course were not fresh when they arrived
here, much less when they reached the pur-
chaser who ordered from the latter. Now
the decorative floral work put up by the
Cincinnati Floral Company is composed
entirely of flowers of their own growing.
They have sixteen extensive greenhouses
at College Hill, and from there supply their
store at 1877 and 189 West Fourth street,
with flowers as fine as can be had in any
city in the United States.

"A Season of Festivity Among the Jews-A
Hebrew Harvest Home.
Our Hebrew citizens begin to-day week
of festivity, or the observance of ssSuccoth,
or the Feast of Booths.'' Its observance
combines both religious and social features,
and can be likened unto the English char
vest home'' festivities. 1t is made an
occasion to return thanks fol-
"a bourtiful harvest for all
the seasons, and social reunion to eh y
all the bounteous yield of the soil. In 70 r
mer days the Israelites lived for the week in
booths, and enjoyed a season of camping
out, as it were. In commemoration of this
event, enjoined by the law, custom and the
church, it is more or less customary to erect a
booth adjoining each synagogue, wherein each
congregation gathers in social way, after
the more serious duty of a religious obser-
vance is performed. The first and last days
of the feast are holy days, during which all
work is suspended, and the other part OF
the week IS donated to very great extent to
fellowship and sociabllty. Duo observance
will take place to- day at the synagogues.

fifty millions of dollars more cash assets and

RAILROAD CONSOLIDATION.
The St. Paul & Sioux City Road Acquires
Groat Possess ions.

AA0 O's nuA q oAOuA C1ty SOau acquires
Great Possess ions.
The St. Paul & Sioux City Railroad company
having acquired by purchase, or by consolida-
ton, the property of the Sioux City & st. Paul,
the Worthington Sioux Falls, the Worthing-
ton & Sioux Falls of Iowa, and the Minnesota
u Black Hills Railroad companies, all the
lines named will, from and after October 1st,
this date, be operated by and in the name of
the Saint Paul Il Sioux City Railroad company.
This is the contamination of negotiations
and arrangements that have been in progress
for several months past. and in which our peo-
pie have been much interested. Under the new
organization, with consolidation of interests
and lines, and with a lighter burden of obliga-
tory interest, the company will be able to bet
ter serve the public and to more securely main
tain its position among railroad corporations
than otherwise would be possible. With
the completion of the branches now in prog
ress the mileage of the lines under the same
management will have been increased this year
from $50 to 412, and will DO largely added to
next year.
