TRIALS FOR THE NEW CRUISERS

Newport R. T., Aug. 1T Is surprising how much
interest is taken in The series OF speed and turning

The cars were we'll filed with passengers, prop

it is little sho~t of miraculous that not more
than one or two persons were seriously injured,
none fatally, and that only single passenger
was badly hurt.
The Pullman cars were in charge OF conductor
NJ. Newell. and he is warmly praised by 'hc
occupants. The women did not grow franuc OF

were rescued by being taken from

or two before the crash came, he was stahulhs

felt.
The baggage master, John w. Babb, had the
most exciting experience of anybody upon the
train. His car was crowded with baggage, and
he was in the midst of the trunks when 1he
collision occurred. The trunks were thrown all
about him, and when he was picked out from
the mass of baggage it was found that he was
seriously injured internally, and it cannot yet be
determined what his chances of recovery aie
Engineer Wentworth, OF the working train, was
injured about the shoulders, and Il tenyear-Qld

TELEGRAPH 10 Ihb lhAbcN~i
Sionx Falls. S D., Aug 4.-The South Dakota
Convention has accepted the report OF the JOINT
Cs,r,ttee on the division of assets and liabilities
- naI,ota Territory. The report makes nearly
y. ooo words. and covers every point which could
rossiblv come up in so important matter. Each
State will pay the bonds outstanding for the public
ins,itutions within its own limits. North Dakota
49,, +broe institutions for which the debt is $780,
ooo South Dakota has nine, with an aggregate
dobt Of $4,000. South Dakota pays North
nal,ota $4,000 for her share of the current
concentrations for the maintenance of the nstitu-
lions in excess of appropriations for North Da-
ota and for the whole of the Territorial library,
for which South Dakota bid $4,000. The com
missioners were at work three weeks, and this is
WHY the convention has been in session thirty
davs The article of the Constitution which
limits the total Indebtedness of the State, with
all previous debts TO $500, 900 was discussed.
The committee recommended that a clause be
inserted constituting this limitation TO apply TO
the new debt of the State and not TO its inherited
debt. which already exceeds the limit After
much discussion an amendment was adopted
which provides that the debt Of the State may
never exceed 100000 in excess Of the debt
inherited from the Territory. This will enable the
State TO meet extraordinary expenses at the be-
ginning of its existence.
One of the most interesting features of the
convention was a prOtracted debate on the elec-
tons of State officers, whose terms are defined IN
the Constitution as two years. Begin
ming this year. the elections would always
fall in odd years. But county and
Congress elections come in even years, and
this would give South Dakota an important
election every year This was universally re
garded as undesirable, and the Committee on
Schedule has spent days trying to find some way
of escape within the limits of the Omnibus bill,
which allows no change in thc old Constitution.
at last an amendment was offered which gave a
simple solution to the problem. In substance 1t
was held that until after admission the C0nstltu-
tjon is not in force; that the Omnibus Dill gives
the convention the authority 70 provide Tor the
election of State officers and IT has power 10
limit their term of office TO any period less thaii
two wears, and il was decided that State oihcers
and the Legislature TO be elected on October
should hold their office until January l, 1881
This will cause the election Of full State uckeO
next year. when county officers will be chosen,
and will make the elections biennial.
The convention is practically through with It's
work IL is thought that at Mondays session
the engrossed Constitution Will be ready 1of
adoption.
