ANOTHER RAILROAD ACCIDENT

As stated in last evenings ARGUS a man
was killed yesterday at Carbon Cliff while
crossing the Rock river railroad bridge at
that point, but as the full particulars could
not be had in time for yesterdays issue,
we append the same for to-day. Mr.
Thomas Dunaway, the victim of this sad
accident, has been resident of this state
over sixteen years, he being rs years old
at the time of his death. The deceased
had just returned on the evening previous
from visit to his son in Nebraska, and
stopped in Colona over night. AT II
o'clock yesterday he started to cross the
bridge, intending to go to his son in-law
Mr.. G. Murray, at Carbon Cliff,
which is just opposite the former
named place. He had nearly
reached the other end of the bridge, when
the Albert Lea train going east, which
runs at that psint at the rate of thirty
miles an hour was suddenly upon him.
The engineer saw him but not in time to
prevent the shocking accident which oc-
CURED. Mr.. Dunaway was picked up in
q horrible mangled condition and taken to
the Colona depot, where he received the
proper medical aid, but to no purpose as
he died in twenty minutes after being struck
by the train. Coroner Morris was notified
and repaired to theI scene. He impaneled
jury with DIR. Hunter of Hampton as
foreman, who after viewing the remains
and hearing what evidence there was,
rendered a verdict in accordance with the
facts.

LIBERAL PRoposrrIo ON.

Ever keenly alive to the wishes of his
patrons, and knowing that a first-class
musical entertainment would be generally
patronized, Mr.. Harper is negotiating with
the renowned Theodore Thomas for an
early appearance in this city. AS an ex-
traordinary i2ducement for him to come,
Mr. Harper shows his good feeling for his
friends in the three cities by offering the
Harper Opera house ali lighted, heated,
usheIed. etc, free of charge, and if Mr..
Thomas is the sensible man that he is sup
posed to be, he will quickly close with
this generous offer, as he may be sure of a
crowded house.

STORY OF EsMRRALDA.

On Wednesday evening next, the 9Th
inst, our amusement goers will have an
opportunity of seeing the noted and pop
ular play known as "Esmeralda, as pre-
scented by first-class company from the
Madison Square theatre, New York. In
order that all may see upon what the play
is founded, the ARGUS reproduces the fol-
lowing:
Ebert Rogers, an honest old North Car
DINA farmer, lived with his wife 'Lyddy
Ann" and his daughter t'Esmerelda," on a
poor farm in one of the western counties
of the state. The young girl was in love
with Dave Hardy, a noble specimen of a
southern yeoman. Dave had secretly built
him little house for Esmeralda, and when
the play opens he is just about telling
Esmeralda's mother of his love for her
daughter and his prospects in life. Mrs.
Rogers, shrewd scheming mother,
has reluctantly given consent to
their marriage, when northern Speculation
appears upon the scene and proposes
TO buy ths farm, all the while concealing

KILLED.

The name of the man killed by the cars
on the bridge near Carbon Cliff Gas briefly
noted in the ARGUS of last evening" was
Thomas Dunaway, rs years old, who was
living with his daughter, MIS-. G. Murray,
at Carbon Cliff. He had returned the pre-
vious evening from a visit TO his son in
Nebraska, getting off at Colona. Yester-
day morning he started across the bridge
and had nearly reached the end of it when
he was struck down by the Cannon Bali
train and shocklngly mangled. An inquest
was held, but nobody was found to blame.
