anna neh Fron, Must Go

James White and N. 8. Morehouse,
proprietors of the Red Front saloon,
were brought up standing by County
Attorney Feighan last week when he
filed informatiOns against them for VIC
lating the liquor law. Whites case en-
braces ilfteen counts and that of More
house five. The former was required 20
give a bond of 81 900 and the latter
$500 for their appearance in the district
conrt at the heginnng of the September
term. People who IN time past gave
the county attorney So little credit
for backbone on the liquor
question ara beginning now to recOg-
niZc the error of their Judgment, and to
set that gentleman down as fully compe-
tent To cope with that or any other mat
ter of equal Importance To the county he
represents at the liar of justice. II is his
purpose To emulate the motto OF Gen
eral Grant when he was president,
namely: ito let no guilty man escape"
AMI To he successful lac only needs the
moral support Of the community. The
backbone of the whisky element in EN-
poria Ia rapidly becoming disiointed
and in the very near future we expect to
he able to announce its complete dis
memberment, with no hope of ever
aga,n drawing the dry bones together
and ininsing life into them.

RAILWAY WRECK.

4 Collision Between . Passenger and
Freight Train 1t Usage City Sat-
uFtiay Morning.
The west bound passenger train due
here at 4 90 a. m. was delayed three or
four hours Saturday on account of a
wreck at Usage City, which resulted IN
severe, If not fatal injuries to the engi-
neer and fireman of the passenger tram.
It seems that the passenger train was
coming into Usage City about on time,
and on the side track, stood a
freight awaiting its passage. AS
the passenger train neared the
station 1t Stacked up TO the rate of
about twelve miles an hour, and would
have continued on its way all right but
for the mistake of the brakeman Of the
freight, who was attending the switch.
II is the suppOsitiOn that he was asleep,
and being awakened suddenly by the
approach Of the train, he jumped up
and changed the switch without
realizing which way he was turning it.
This was done just in time to send the
passenger train whirling down the side
track into the freight train above men,
toned, and resulted in both engines be-
ing badly demoralized and the tele-
scoping Of two or three cars Of each
train, besides injuries to Engineer
Myers and Fireman Amick, OF the pas
senger train, which may result in the
death Of both. The engineer received
several severe Commissions about the
head and had his right hand badly mash
ed and one foot hurt, probably 30 badly
that it will have to be taken
of. Fred Amick, the fireman,
besides receiving other severe injuries,
had his right leg 80 horribly mangled
that amputation was necessary, which
operation was performed Saturday.
Myers had reversed his engine and, To-
gether with his fireman, might have
jumped and escaped injury. but he pre-
ferred to stand as his post and abide the
results, rather than do that which
might endanger the lives Of any Of his
passengers. not one Of whom, we under
stand received the slightest injury.
The engineer and fireman both live at
Topeka, bat are being tendeFly cared
for ct Usage City, and It IL 70 be hoped
that their injuries may not prove fatal,
which Is now very much feared.

killed Inv the Cars

Allen S. Huff, of Downs, this state,
was killed last week, three miles east
OF Hutchinson, while riding free of fare
on the emigrant tram, in charge of Con-
ductOr Irwin. When first discovered,
he was clinging to the side ladder of
one of the cars, and the brakeman called
TO him TO get on TOP OF the car, as he
might otherwise be knocked off. In
obeying this command and crawl
ing over the top of the
car to where another party named Geo.
Carter was also awaiting himself of
a Tree ride, HUFF fell onto the track and
the cars passed oyer HIM mutilating him
in most shocking manner. Carter,
his companion, told Conductor Irwin
that the two together had about $50 in
money. The remains of Huff were
brought To Burton and left there. The
victim of tins terrible accident is said to
he the brother of banker at Downs.

nothing like it was ever before attempt

pyrotechnic features will be on scale
OF great extent and variety,
some Of the set pieces promising to be
marvellous in effect. The whole city
will be lighted as never before. The
different monuments with which the
metropolis abOunds will be girdled by
electrical bands. while the lofty and ms
jestic dome of the City hall will be fair
~ ablaze. Every avenue leading to
novelty in illumination is eagerly
sought after, and old Baltimore will In

excel anything of the description ever
attempted not alone IN this country but
in any country. Other cities are con-
tent with from eighteen to twenty-five
floats, the latter being the greatest ever
embraced within one pageant on the
night OF the 18th of September will IN
clude no less than forty floats or tab
lcaux cars, larger, more imposing and
grRDder in every way, than ever before
shown. Ordinarily the number Of char
acters introduced In q pageant is less
than one hundred. In the Baltimore
pageant there will be two hundred and
thirty characters upon the floats, every
costume entirely new and imported from
Paris direct. Il will require thirteen
horses, over fifteen thousand gas Jets,
eight bands of music, ami other acces-
series To like magnificent proportion.
The actual cash outlay necessary
to place the pageant upon
the streets OF Baltimore will exceed
thirty five thousand dollars. The char
acters are assumed exclusively by men,
bers of the order of the Oriole, mer-
chants and business men of the highest
standing. The special series of excur.
siOns arranged by the Baltimore aad

favor, as they admit of visiting so many
places of great interest in addition
to the Orioie at Baltimore. AS
