Questions behind all this.
There are some "policies" which
consist of noise, pomp aud glitter.
History shows many an instance.
What came of all such? Just this
after a little while there were no
more worlds to conquer, and the men
who furnished the army to the Con-
queror began to enquire, "who is the
better for all this?" As in the morn
ing after the nights dehanch, sober
reflection aud aching heals compel
attention to the empty pockets and
ruined health. Then comes lassitude
and dejection; and the real cost OF
all the ''policy" is brought home to
the people who have in effect paid
for all of it.

Plupging Of a Trestle-TerribIeD Dive of Passenger Trafn-Efght Persons Killed.
 CLINTON, April 21.-At o'clock this
 morning as the night express on the Rock
 Island division of the Chicago, Milwaukee
 and St. Paul railway was moving at an ordi-
 nary rate of speed across the trestle over the
 Meredosia river, a mile south of Albany,
 His, the trestle gave way and the train was
 suddenly precipitated into the river. The
 engine, tender, baggage car and passenger
 car went down. The sleeping coach hangs
 over the end of the bridge at an angle of
 forty-fve degrees, the upper end high in the
 air. Two cars foated down stream. The
 passenger coach 1odg-d against the island forty rods away. The baggage car struck in the middle of the stream about the same dis tance. Only the roof of the two cars are now in sight. Engineer West and the fire- man, name unknown, residing at Freeport, went down in the cab. Nothing has since been seen of the locomotive or men. Bag gagemaster Sam Flanigan, Brakeman Henry Myers, Messenger Dan Ellithrope and Con- ductor Thomas Fuller all escaped, the latter without injury. All the rest are more or less injured. The brakeman's collar bone is broken. Eleven passengers were in the for ward coach Of these two men jumped ashore as the floating car passed the abut- ment of wagon bridge which went out yes terday. Another man leaped, but fell back and was drowned. A woman and one child and boy from Pine River were taken off the roof of the car after it had lodged at the island, having escaped miraculously. Other passengers, including a man from Pine River, and a little child of Lady and Dr. D. W. Lundy of Albany, were drowned. These with the engineer and fireman make eight lives lost. Only six passengers were in the sleeper They, together with the colored porter, all climbed out of the rear end and escaped unin- jured The names of the three who escaped in this coach are H. w. Gordon of Rochester, N. Y., G. w. Chapman of Newark, N. J.. and Henry Warren of Boston. The wounded were made comfortable at the hotel. The lady is prostrated by the shock and is at the house of farmer. The river is perfect torrent where the trestle went out. It is said freight train passed over the bridge an hour or so ahead of the passenger train. Twenty boats were at work all the forenoon in pouring rain. The coach was explored and the cushions and baggage taken out, but no bodies were found. All were washed out A great crowd collected at the scene The disaster was at the mouth of the Meredosia river near Mississippi, eight miles below this city
