action. And it will be stranger still
if the Republican editors of the coun.

OVER A BLAZING BRIDGE.

WHEELING, w. VA, April 1.-At
half.past two O'Clock this morning
freight train No. IS, west.bound, on
the Baltimore and Ohio Railroad,
plunged through burning bridge,
over Harris Run, five miles east of
Cameron and thirty.one miles east
Of this city. Seventeen freight cars
were wrecked, and all but two were
burned, with their contents. Two
unknown men, who had entered the
cars at Baltimore for free ride to
Wheeling, we're roasted to death.
The tram was in charge OF Conduc
tor William Dean, and his crew con-
sisted of DOminick Kelly, engineer !;
John Chaddock, fireman, and Bud"
Ney, brakeman. As the engineer
rounded "a sharp curve just east Of
Harris creek and came in sight of
the bridge, he saw the entire struc-
ture was in a blaze. Realizing that
his only chance to escape was
quick dash over the bridge, Kelly
whistled an alarm and pulled the
throttle wide open. The conductor
and brakeman jumped as the train
took the added speed, Ney being
badly wounded. The locomotive
dashed on and across the bridge.
AS it reached the west end the struc-
tnre fell, and the long train plunged
down into the streams bed, with
the blazing timbers. Fortunately,
the coupling connecting the engine
with the tender broke, and the en-
CINE and the two men in the cab
were saved. OF the three men who
were in one of the cars, one, named
Weir, was able to get ont, but his
companions. pinned down by the
broken ears, were burned to death,
their cries for help being heard long
after the train went down. The H.
nancial loss to the company will be
very large. All traffic today had
to 20 around by way of Pittsburg.
