cARnAAAN,s TRIAL SET DOWN.
Both He and Bnrrows win BE Called to
Account i'm Mny.


Judge Woods and Dist Atty. Sellers have
last come 70 the conclusion that Gen James II.
Carnahan, who was indicted for election con-
spiraey By the same grand jury that returned
bills against Coy and Berhanler, must be tried.
The attorney sent yesterday TO the clerk OF the
federal court the date set for the trial-the 10Th
of May
As soon as the fact was known on the streets,
there was quite breeze OF comment. The
news was at first elirested with some little sur
prise. Republicans had with inward satisfac-
faction believed that Carnahan was safe,
though they could not give any reason why he
should not be tried other than that he was not
n democrat That he WAS to be actually TO be
brought into court, that 4 jury was actually 10
meet out justice 10 him for the violation Of
election laws, taxed the credulity of . great
many members of the z. o. p.
One republican said yesterday afternoon: at
will be the veriest farce Ofa trial. Hewii be tired
not because the court or district attorney be-
lieyes him guilty, but just 10 satisfy the demo.
Gratis chat are gTieved nj the fate OF Coy"
But by the fair-minded republicans the action
of the court and district attorney, though so
long delayed Is approved. There is y feeling
with democrats that perhaps simple justice will
yet be done, hut the thought that Carnahan
has gone SO long without triIl still rankles IN
their minds. why it IS" they say, that the
district attorney has not taken up the case be-
lore - matter not easy 10 understand. Coy
and Bcrnhaner had been tried twice and had
received their sentences, and the time for the
second trial OF the other indicted democrats
had been set before this republican, who was
indicted ut the snne time as the other defend
antSi is brought 70 answer 10 the charges against
him."
Mr.. Sellers has been severely ceBsured for
permitting Carnahan to escape trial So long
The announcement that Canahan's day for
trial had been set seemed TO eXaggerate rather
than ailay the feeling Of injustice chat the
democrats thought lad been done. All the
circumstances connected with the sentencing
of Coy and Berhhamer all the details of the
trial of the other defendants have been dis
cusSed since the news made known that
Canadian, the republican,, was actually TO be
brought Ia tTial
The case against William T. Barrows, the
other republican, will bc called on the 18th of
May. lie is charged with ha' ing voted twice,
and the evidence against him 5 said to be over
whclminc. In this case, As well as IN Carna-
hans, there seems 20 be no good reason why the
defendant should not have been brought to
trial long ago. The only explanation is that he
IS a republican. lie is IN the employ of the
Indiana Farmer, the proprietor of which is a
member OF the committee OF one hundred,
which was very active in pushing the cases
against Coy and Bernh1mer-

THE WAPSlE RIVER WRECK.
The Debris Being Rapidly Removed TIL
CorOner's jury in Session.

New HAMPTON, Ia, April THE circula-
ton Of false IlrmorS by Il crowd OF oilers here,
and the over-zealOuS efforts of a railway watch
man from Mason City came near precipitating
n riot here last night. The Waterman went to
the WapSie wreck and on his own responsible
ity undertook to keep spectators back from the
wrecking crews. In doing this he struck
farmer in the head, hurting him severely.
The farmer came here and swore out a war.

the railroad authorities had found more bodies
and diSmembered limbs at the wreck had been
circulated all day. and q crowd of mischief.
makers seized on the assault TO start u feeling
that an attempt was being made to keep the
discovery secret. Excitement ran very high,
and q crowd was forming to 60 to the scene
when the coroner turned and informed the
people that the reports were untrue.
1t will be several days before the wreck can

to-day or tonight and il is feared that more
bodies will be found. Several of the wounded
may not live. Mr.. and Mrs Heidecker are
unable 10 move. Their heads and bodies are
terribly sCalded. Their three youngest children
are so lady burned as to be almost beyond
recognition. William, the oldest boy, is I'M
conscious. Frank Hemmerman of MaukcOn,
who was known 10 have been on the Inflated
train, is still missing
The coroner's jury is hearing testimony in
secret session, and some oil the evidence
elected has not been favorable to the
St. Paul road. 1t is said that the
testimony of one very Trustworthy witness was
to the eject that the ties ON the bed where
the accident occurred were so rotten that
it required very little pressure for the
spikes to be pushed from the rails The st. Paul
officials say that the bed was of the best con-
structiOn and that allegations To the contrary
are only made by persons with a known pre-
JUDGE against the road. There is considerable
testimony of this kind, and much more to the
effect that the building of Il barrier across the
natural water course was dangerous piece OF
work and was largely responsible Tor the az
cidcnt of Thursday.
Reports OF washouts and other troubles on
the line continue TO load the wires. Two wash
outs are reported between here and Calmar.
The state railway commission has decided 10
examine into the cause of the horror at
Wapsie and has already notified officials
and employees to appear mt an investigation.
There have been several other accidents near
the NapSie bridge, but none caused loss of
life. Only recently Barney Lienery, a farmer,
was given damages on account OF an overflow
caused by the cOmpany's roadbed.

where Harrison Was Last.


The friends of Judge Gresham are greatly
disappointed at his declination of the invita-
ton to address the Morton club here. Ills
position, however, Is consistent and indeed just
what was expected by many OF his friends.
The Judge does not wish to place himself i'm
the attitude OF q candidate for the presidential
nomination, thinking that anything that might
have the appearance OF canyassing would be
inconsistent with the dignity Of the bench In
this he may be right but that does not prevent
his friends from rcgretting the fact that he will
not come. One prominent republican had al
ready insisted on hiring The Academy of Music
at his own expense, another volunteered TO en-
gage the city band, while still another promised
TO furnish the finest team OF fonr white horses
TO be found in northern Indiana, ia order to
drive judge Gresham from the depot This
enthusiastic reception is evidently what the
Judge wished to avoid. If that is the case he
shows excellent judgment in not coming here.
Whenever Judge Gresham wishes 10 avoid an
enthusiastic reception he will do well to keep
rs far away from Fort Wayne as possible.

Wages and Tariffs.

The wOrkingmen of free trade England are

work in the protected countries of the cont.

ingnen. ii is perfectly true that the operatives
of the continent can sustain life and even pro-
cure comforts for much smaller sum than
will purchase the same thing in England, but it
is ais true that the British operatives have not
only higher wages, but steadier employment
than the operatives of the continent. It is also
true that they work fewer hours IA week than
the operatives OF any protected country IN the
world. 1t is further true that their employ
ment is steadier than in the United States. The
average number of working hours in week
are COLI in Massachusetts, and $3.50 in Great
Britain, and while the trade depressions of
England have been serious they have not begun
to be as disturbing as the strikes that have
taken place on this side of the water.
