inform the public that the only effect hard

AS is usual in such cases, it was utterly
impossible to learn the real cause of the
tardy arrival of the train due here at $40
o'clock Tuesday evening, but which did
not appear until an early hour yesterday
morning. To all inquiries the ~reticent
dispatchers and other railway attaches
would vouchsafe no more definite reply
than a vague assurance that she was
laid out down near Omaha" From an
Omaha gentleman who reached this city
on the belated train it was ascertained
that himself and his fellow travellers re.
manned at North Platte several hours
awaiting the removal of the wreck which
impeded their progress. By the breaking
of a switch rod a stock train was derailed
when moving at a high rate of speed.
The four-footed freight was hogs and
sheep. Twenty ofthe former and 200 of
the latter were killed in the smashup and
many more frightfully MANNED. The
bleating of the woody animals and squeal-
ing of the swine was similar to the means
and shrieks of human victims of like
catastrophes. Many of the passengers
were sickened at the spectacle, which
they pronounced both nauseating and af-
fecting. The services of several travellers
were engaged to assist in ending the
misery of wounded animals. One of
these tainted when about to strike a
crippled sheep its death blow. The man
asserted that its pitiful means sounded
like prayers for mercy, and hat as the
pleading eyes gazed at those of the de-
stroyer he was completely unnerved and
could not have welded his weapon if his
existence depended upon the exertion.

An old gentleman with an alert face
scrupulouslY shaven and shorn, and
who is prominent ON account of pair
of restless blue eyes, around which the
crows feet arc busy marking off the
years, pulls his head far down in his
overcoat, and watches the great Morton
fats near completion. The face Of the
old gentleman has much of content and
something of lurking triumph in it's
lines, and you are not surprised at it
when you recognize Levi p. Morton,
Mr.. Morton was only In town couple
of days this week. He was accom-.
panied by Mrs. Morton, and they were
the guests of Mrs. Holson. Mr.. Morton
says that he bas not determined where
he will reside while here, and only
knows that be will not reside In his new
apartment building. He has not felt
the necessity OF an early decision. as be
will not be in Washington for any
length Of time until the opening of the
Fifty-6rst Congress. He will be here
