Others Injured, One Fatally.

otuofS AuJ Jufou, One dCaily.
The mangled and bleeding body of
poor Fergus Flanagan, of 9O1 Armstrong

strongest men quailed. 1t was an awful
sight. The whole top of his head was

finally extricated from the wreck, and
the clotted mass was taken up in a

THE UNKNOWN DEAD.
The dead body of the young man said
to be John Bulena was laid
upon cushions in the rear end
of a wrecked car until the wounded
were disposed of. His face was
bruised almost beyond recognition,
and gaping wound in the neck and an
other on his forehead, from which the
blood oOzed down to the floor, were
both declared to be fatal. Aside from
these wounds his chest was crushed in,
aud both arms appeared to be broken.
DAVIDSON WILL DIE.
Another man probably fatally injured
is James Davidson, blacksmith in the
Omaha shops, who resides at 6S3 Tusca-
rora street. He was at once taken to
the city hospital, where he was attended
by Doctors O'Hague, Ancker and
Spencer. The whole lower portion of
his body was found be paralyzed, and
his right arm was fractured above the
elbow. He was also badly bruised
about the head. His spine was found
to be broken between the shoulders, and
Dr.. O'Hage at midnight stated that
there were no hope for his recovery. He
did not regain consciousness.

street, near the river, was also taken to
the city hospital. He was suffering
from fractured ankle.

residing at $50 West Seventh street, had
his right arm broken above the elbow

at 6S1 Tuscora avenue, was bruised
about the chest and it was believed that

lives at 653 Bay street, had his leg
broken and sustained internal injuries.
Another man named Adams, whose
arm was broken, was taken from the
scene of the wreck by friends, and the
full extent of his injuries could not be
learned.
Several others were badly scratched
and bruised, but their injuries were
such that they were able to take care of
themselves and soon mixed up with the
crowd,

road being drawn by Engine No. 152, in
charge of Engineer Oliver Swandoller.
The coach was being pushed ahead of
the engine, the run being a short one.
When the train, which was going at
rapid rate of speed, passed the Chest
nut street depot there were cries of
''Shut her off; where the - are you
going?" from men who stood ON the
track. These cries, however, were
either unheard or unheeded, and the
next moment the coach crashed into a
line of twelve freight cars, which stood
on the west-bound main track, partially
telescoping the coach and instantly
and another man who some of the spec
tators said was John Bulena, who was
standing on the end of the coach. The
remaining occupants of the coach were
thrown in every direction, six being
injured more or less severely.

a pile of splintered timbers. All hopes
of being able to save the life of the un-

were also confirmed. There was con-
tinued objection to the personnel of the
delegation to the congress of American

Beck characterized the Democratic

recognized as belonging to the party at

sentatives of the Democratic party.
However, they were all confirmed. A
motion was made to consider the vote
by which the nomination of Andrew
Carnegie was confirmed. but only six
or eight senators voted for it. In the
course of the session efforts were made
to remove the injunction of secrecy
from the votes on the motions to con-
firm the nominations of Whitelaw Reid
to be minister to France and of Murat
Halstead to be minister to Germany,
but they were unsuccessful. The
further consideration of the eXtradition
treaty with Russia was postponed until
the next session of congress. The cal
endar of nominations was almost en-
tirely cleared. The nominations Of
Edwin /. Kensheadt to be United States
marshal for the Eastern district of
Louisiana, and of William H. White
man to be an associate justice of the
United States court in New Mexico,
