A construction tram, with fiat cars loaded
With poles and accompanied by twenty
two men, left Washburn after dinner to
repair a washout one half mile south Of
Bay field. The train was running at about
fifteen miles an hour, when it struck a
washout just north of the Pine creek
bridge, and the engine and tender plunged
headlong into it. All the hands were rid
ing on the tender and in the cab of the
engine at the time, aud, rs the engine
made the fatal plunge, one Of the rails ran
up through the boiler and fire box, hitting
the steam and water escape, and soalding
the inmates OF the cab and tender in a
frlghtful manner.
Tue sight was sickening. Men with the
flesh hanging in shreds from face, hands
and bodies were lying on the grass OF
among the ruins. One man was found dead
his skull crushed or otherwise mangled

In the United States district court, at
Indianapolis, on Thursday, In the Biaine-
Sentinel libel suit, the attorneys for the
Sentinel filed bill OF discovery and twelve
additional interrogatories. The bill be-
gins by stating that Blaine pretends to
bave been secretly married to Harriet
Stauwood at Millernburg, KY, on June 80.
1850, which claim Ia wholly denied
by the orators. The bill fortber
alleges that Blaine was lawfully
married, for the first and only time,
to Harriet Stanwood In Pittsburg.
March "a. 1851, aud that said marriage
was not one of Iowa and affection on the
part of Blaine, but compulsory, - charged
In the original bill. The bill then states
that full information concerning these
matters Is In possession Of Blaine and the
discovering of such evidence Is necessary
to enable the orators 10 make good issues
upon their part, aud the prayer of the bill
is that Blaine be ordered 20 answer posi-
lively, under oath and without evasion.
interrogatories covering In minute detail
all the circumstances OF the irst marriage.

The Blaiuex Voters.

No doubt 1t IL vain to expect anyone
to believe that Mr.. Blaine is corrupt,
who has not already been convinced OF
the fact. It Is not easy to see how any
intelligent person, in contemplating the
record he has made can think him an
honest man. Yet there certainly are
persons of intelligence who so consider
him. A. least they say they do. and we
are able to believe them, with the
knowledge we have of the binding
effect Of political prejudice. There is
Theodore Woolsey. for instance, an old
man who has been president of Yale
college. He protests that Blaine is good
enough for him. Mr.. Woolsey must be
conoeded to be an intelligent man. The
weight Of years may have effected his
mental force as it has en'eebled his mus
culsr power; but he still, no doubt,
Il sound enough mentally to know
right from wrong. But Mr.. WOolsey
would hardly believe that Blaine would
