A SERIOUS WRECK.
A Freight Train Goes Through a Bridge
Train Men Badly Injured.

The spell of exemption from accidents on In
dianapolis roads was broken yesterday morning,
by an ugly wreck on the Cincinnati, Hamilton &
indianapolis AS the local freight which leaves
Indianapolis for the East at $50 A. NJ was cross
ing the bridge over Big Buck creek, the
bridge went down, carrying with it four
teen loaded cars. The engine and two
cars passed over, but all were derailed the en-
CINE turning over on it's side. The engineer, c.
A. Holland, was found wedged in between the
engine and tank and was so severely burned by
escaping steam that it is thought it will be nee
essary to amputate both Of. his legs. The fire.
man, James Mcknight, jumped from the
engine. fell and broke his collar
bone and shoulder blade, and was
also slightly burned. John Parsons, brakeman
who went down with the train, was bruised
somewhat, but his injuries were not of serious
character: C.J. Fogarty conductor, was bruised,
but not disabled The engine was damaged but
little The fourteen cars were badly brok-
en- up. Six were loaded with mer-
chandise. eight with corn, two with lumber
large per cent of which was saved although
in bad condition much of it The cause of the
accident is a mystery. The bridge, which is
seventy five feet long. was built four years ago,
and the trestle over the western approach
more recently, and had not been con-
demned, as stated i'll an evening
paper. Chief Engineer Ramsey considered
it, he says perfectly safe for years to come. The
condition in which the engine and two forward
cars were found rather sustains the theory that
as they left the bridge rail, which possibly may
have worked loose. turned over, causing them to
leave the track, and the train follow
such force as to cause the timbers to
give way on the east end and then drop into the
stream below. The trestle on the west end of
the bridge is in its right position ard shows no
signs Of weakness. A temporary bridge will be
in shape for trains to cross over this evening
The loss to property it is thought will not ex
coed $4,000. But twenty minutes before the
freight train went down the fast express train
safely crossed the structure. The company did
all in their power to relieve the sufferings of the
injured employees. The officials of the road will
thoroughly investigate the affair, and hope to be
able to ascertain for a certainty the real cause
of the wreck

The chief business before that body

states senators. whose duty il will be,
acting with Representatives, Clifford
and KMouse. to present the Dakota
constitution 10 Congress and ask for
our admission as state
In meditating upon who should be
elected to these high offices, we have
fixed upon one gentleman whose abili-
ties and experience mark him rs the
peer Of any gentleman in the state.
We refer 10 Hon. CharlesG. Williams,
of Watcrtown. Mr.. W. was IA member
Of the Wisconsin legislature for several
years, and as 4 young man developed
rare powers as debater and q legisla-
tor. This legislative experience was
followed by ten or twelve years as a
member of congress from the First
Wisconsin district
Mr.. Williams grew rapidly as a repre-
sentative, and rose to be one OF the
leading men of the House. He was
placed on some Of the leading commit
tees by Speaker Blaine, and did more
to shape legislation than any other
Wisconsin representative. His ability
was SO marked that when the late Matt
ii. Carpenter was elected to the Senate
Mr. Williams gave him the closest race
for the nomination that he ever had
This, too, IN the days when Carpenter
was the idol Of Wisconsin Republicans.
We lay special weight on Mr.. Williams
fitness by his Congressional experience.
Dakota needs a man with just such an
experience TO present her case and plead
her cause at the doors Of Congress. 1t
can be done better 10y him than by any
other citizen, for we have no othcl
whose legislative experience has been
SO varied and lengthy; nor have we any
other WHO'S 50 well known in Washing
ton 10 all parties as IS Mr.. Williams.
TO these qualifications we would add
his ability rs an orator, and his affable
manner in social intercourse.
IL is our opinion that Dakota's inter
ests can be- best furthered by making
the gentleman one Of her first messen-
gers to Congress, and We accordingly
trust the wisdom Of the legislature will
