Afternoon Excitement.

Fire broke out in the smoke house in
the alley back of J. s. Gilmore's packing
house and near Fifteenth street, between
First and Second avenues at As this
afternoon. The Wide-Awakes. a block
away, were promptly on the ground and
soon had a stream on the burning build
ing The Franklins, the ideal company,
came up from their house mile away
with their horse and had hose laid IN less
than four minutes. That's the way to do
it boys.
An absurd feature was the appearance
of two hsrnessed horses from an up town
livery stable on their way to the Wide,
Awake hose house to be hitched to the
ladder truck which is within a block of
| the fire, while the horses came fem
blocks, When the team passed down
Second avenue to report for duty the fire
was under control.
The building was not Mr. Gilmore
principa! smoke house-Only a small
structure used for smoked beef, siding
and bacon exclusively. 1t contained
5000 pounds of homeless bacon and
$500 pounds of clean sides on which
Mr. Gilmore figures total loss of 81, 200
no insurance.

Of HIS Base

Editor ARGUS:
Rock ISLAND July 10.-While at first
| thought you were little severe, l now
believe you were about right when you
dubbed the latest acquisition to the
Union. the Kansas Yahoo" As repub'
lican and business man, feel keenly the
contemplate and malicious manner in
which my party paper is conducted, and
must confess the motives which actuate
it in its inconsistent course, are beyond
nv comprehension. Last night heard
this blatant clodhopper say that the
board of supervisors had passed reso>
luton completely generating Mr.. Hues>
ing in regard to being indebted to the
county (and | see he repeats it this morn>
ing), and that each supervisor had
signed his name to it. Further
that he intended writing a par
agraph about it, and send a marked paper
to Washington, which would secure Mr.
Housings confirmation Immediately. If
this ignoramus had consulted the official
proceedings of the board for yesterday,
and which appeared in his own paper
this morning, he would see at once that
the board passed no resolution whatever.
And if it had the members would not
sign it as individuals or otherwise. The
Union is evidently bought up for the oc>
casion, like its neighbor.
REPUBLICAN.

LOCOMOTIVES COLLIDE.


ION
A very peculiar accident occurred IN
the c., B. Il O. yards at an early hour
this morning, locomotives 800 and 356
coming together upon the frogs of the
switch at the foot of Seventeenth street,
and while the collision was not attended
by results of a serious nature, the en-
gines came out of it in a pretty badly de-
moraliZed condition. The blame for the
accident appears to be attached to En-
gineer Kendall of the 365. though the
dense fog prevailing at that time may
have served as partial excuse. 1t was
about 615 that Engineer Kendall and
Fireman Banks boarded their engine
which was to take the st. Louis train,
and. as is the custom, started to run
down to the switch at the foot of of East
Seventeenth street to back up and couple
onto the train. 1t had been the habit
to make the switch and back before
the incoming train. due at SEQ
arrived, but this was not to be this
morning A dense fog hung over the
earth and Just as the empty engine got
onto the frogs of the switch the st. Louis
passenger, in charge of Conductor Terry
and drawn by engine 800, Engineer Gill
len and Fireman Baxter, dashed in. The
two locomotives came together in an in
| stanl and with a crash.
Neither locomotive left the track and
no damage was done further than to the
pOnderous machines themselves, the ex-
tensions and pilots of both being
wrecked, the 356 faring, if anything, the
worst. Trainmaster Stanton happened
to be on the train and at once investigat-
ed the affair. and afterward gave rs his
opinion that the fog made the accident
eXCusable

THE w HEN
THE NON-INTERCOURsE POLICY.
1t Would Damage American Interests Much
More Than Those of the Canadians.

ST. PAUL, Aug. 26-W. c. Van Horne presi-
dent Of the Canadian Pacific, bsing interviewed
for the Pionser Press on the proposals contained
IN the Presidents message. said: "The policy OF
non-in,ercourse between the United States and
Canada would damage American railway inter
ests between two and three dollars where it
would iniure Canadian interests one. All the
Michigan roads would be heavily damaged. New
England lines wcald be hurt. particularly those
depending upon Canadian lines for an ortlet
The same is true of the lines centering at Nj
agara, which WOULD have to look to the motor.
iously illiberal Vanderbilt system for Western
connection, or to the Erie. which IN a
competitor for the very business il would
be asked to take West Roads like the Wabash
would also suffer. Roads running northwest
from Chicago would only be injured indirectly.
In the proportion that their business goes over
the Grand Trunk. The 500 and the Duluth,
South Shore & Atlantic would. OF course. be
heavy losers. However. the transfer of -four
and breadstuffs for export would not be him
dered. as it does not 60 in bond. Lake interests
would be damaged. Since Secretary Manning's
order OF July, 1886. all the lake business from
Duluth, Milwaukee and Chicago to Seruia, Coll
ingwood aud other Canadian railroad ports has
gone in American bottoms, and this would be
Knocked in the head On the Canadian side the
blow would fall rather heavily on the Grand
Trunk lines. but to the Canadian Pacific
would be comparatively slight There
- no money for us in American
freight any way. and we could. Of course, hold
the passenger business. We would lose the ad-
vantages given by the line TO the Soo,' apd that
Is about all. The balance TO all this damage 10
found only in the advantage which would accrue
to the New York Central, the Pennsylvania and
the Baltimore 4 Ohio
On the question of the general commercial dam
age TO each country. Mr.. Van Horne thought
American interests would suffer twenty times
more than Canadian. Asked for an authorita-
tive statement as to the report that the Cana
dian Pacific owns the 800" road, he said the
only foundation therefor is the fact that Sir
George Stevens and others connected with the
Canadian Pacific own stock in the 800" Mr..
Van Horne is here chiefly TO confer with the off,
cials OF the Minneapolis. St. Paul 81 Sault Ste.
Marie road in regard to the operation Of q
through rapid-train system.

A COSTLY ACCIDENT.
The False Work of the Chesapeake & Ohio Rail
way Bridge, at Cincinnati, Swept Away.
Special to the indianapolis, Journsr


CINCINNATI. Aug. 26.-The new Chesapeake
& Ohio railroad bridge in course Of construc-
ton between this city and Covington. collapsed
at 10 o'clock this morning. with a report that
could be heard two miles away. For several
days the engineers ir charge of the construc-
ton Of the bridge had been apprehensive on ac-
count Of the high water and the great quantity
of drifr-wood which had been floating down and
lodging against the trestle or false work of tho
bridge. Every artifce known to engineering
skill had been resorted to to get the
drift through the open channel that
was left but it could no: be handled. etring
Of barges half filled with water were placed in
the form of V on the upper side OF the bridge
to ward of the drift. but ii packed tight under
the barges and lifted them out OF the water.
Part of the bridge. including the elevated por-
tion OF it, far out on the Kentucky side had
the wsrkmen were engaged on the channel span.
and was Immediately above the central
current of the river. It was 100
feet high, and on top of il was a traveller 104
feet high. The structure was weighted down
with nine freight cars loaded with pig-iron ard
other heavy material, besides zoe. 900 pounds of
bridge iron to make it steady. The collapse was
witnessed by hundreds OF people who crowded
the south end of the bridge IN CovinRton. The
loss is estimated at $4,000, and will fall on the
keystone Bridge Company, Of Pittsburg. The
work would have been completed by Jan. /,
when trains over the Chesapeake e. Ohio rail-
road would enter the Central Passenger Station.
