Holland County Leader: The gamblers of Omaha have made a proposition to the city that if they are not interfered with for one year they will pay for all street inn provements and keep up the water works. And we will guarantee that a great many men will be found ready to vote in favor of accepting the proposition. Compro- missing with the devil is usually favored when there is money consideration.

AFRIGHTFUL ACCIDENT.

Fzyo Sisters and a Brother Instant.
 ly Killed By Railroad Train.
 Yesterday morning while one of John 5. Dyson's omnibusses drawn by two horses was going from the Black Rock district toward New Britain the horses became unmanage- ble and rushed on the crossing of the New England railroad west of the Stanley works in front of Conductor Dinsmore's east bound train just as it rounded short curve. The engine struck the bus near the forward part, instantly killing Minnie and Lottie Dyson, aged 15 and 13 years, two school girls riding in the bus, and fatally injqring Charles Dy- son., IS, the driver-all children of J. B. Dy- son.
 After the vehicle was struck, and perhaps before, the brakes were put on, but did not take hold as air brakes usually do. The train was carried by about 400 feet before it was brought to a s.sndstill. It was then backed up to the scene of the accident. When the copductoR ssw the condition of things he at once proceeded to New Britain, reporting there the fact of the accident. A switch engine immediately went to the cross l ing, carrying several physicians and others. The three victims were without delay re- moved to their fathers house. Lottie was dead, but Minnie and Charles were living. Before long, hpwever, both of these expired The parents were wild with grief as they saw before them the inanimate forms Of three of their children, who but an hour before had been so full Of life and happiness.
