A Big Jam

There is a Mammoth jam of logs in
Weston ( Brainards boom, estimated at
30 to 81 millions About 40 men are at
work hooking them of as fast as pos
sible. Some millions a day are now
being run through the boom. donkey
engine to aid in the work was added
to the force this morning.
The lam commenced to form friday
the rise of water started them along
rapjdly from the lower sections OF IN"
river between here and Scion. The most
of the Jam was formed in two days Sat
urday and Sunday but since that time
the logs have accumulated on the up
river end of the jam faster than they can
he 30. off the lower end. The working
out of the jam is only question OF time
but what is feared is rise OF water by
the hosting of the gates on Dead River
to try the logs on Long Falls, may sweep
ont the whole mass and if it should, fears
are entertained of piers and booms all
along the river below. This is not prob
able but it is possible. Two years ago
a similar jam formed in this same place
that took about weeks to get out, ana
this NAV take as long.

THE POLITICAL CHECKER
BOARD.

Congress convened on Monday
last, and the political leaders, large
and small, both talented and con-
ceited, the old veterans and the fledg-
lings, the bosses and the heelers, have
been on hand, pushing and hustling
things for positions for themselves
and their friends, and oftentimes do
ing their best to down better men.
To those experienced, and who watch
the play, the moves on the board are
as readily solved as the counting of
fingers. This clique and the other
clique, play out their small manoeu-
vres with imagined secrecy. and by
the very outcome, can be traced as
with a line of light. The trouble is
gangs Of conceited fellows made up
their states and attempted to admin
lister upon Harrison's presidential
term, ere it was born, and certainly
before vitality had left the corpus.

A WREcK-On Sunday morning
last, the passenger train No. IL, due
here at 4.45 a. M, ran into freight
train q short distance east of Sir
Johns Run. The engineer of the
freight train had been given orders
to go into the siding until train No.
10 had passed, and while on his way
there, he went to sleep and part Of
his train remained on the main track.
At this point of the road, train No.
10 generally goes at the speed of so
miles an hour, but fortunately this
time, Mr.. Blackwell, the engineer,
stopped at Sir. Johns for orders, and
when he ran into the freight train he
was only going about Is miles an
hour. The passenger engine and the
U. s. postal car was badly damaged,
but no lives were lost. Had the pas
senger train been going at its regu-
lar speed, hardly person on either
train would have been left to tell the
tale. This accident, like many 9TH
ers on the B. & o., only goes to
prove that too much diligence can
not be taken in obeying orders.

leaves no room for fault finding, but
on the contrary is entitled to much

"Senator Faulkner of West Vir-
ginia, made his first appearance for
this session this moning. The Sena-
tor moved around by the aid of a
crutch. He injured his left leg very
seriously about four months ago and
the muscles have not yet knitted
themselves into position. Mr.. Faux
ner is one of the most popular Sena-
tors on the democratic side, and he
held quite a reception to-day"
