A Had Wreck.

The 75-foot span of Coal Greek
bridge on the ChOctaw division of the
NJ, K. d T. fell with a freight train
Friday and 81 cars were dropped
into the creek. The locomotive and
three cars in some miraculous manner
remained on the track and were saw
ed. The bridge had two spans 70 and
40 feet. 1t was put up 6 years ago
and so far as appeared by thorough
inspection it was in perfect condition.
The timbers were all sound and give
no signs of weakness. The bridge
men say they cannot account
for the breakdown, unless it was
threwn by some of the cars leaving the
track on the bridge. The fact that
the engine passed over in safety is
cited as proof that the bridge was de-
stroyed in that manner. 1t will re-
quire 4S hours to replace the bridge
so that traffic can be resumed. Two
unknown men who were stealing a
ride were killed, but none of the train
men were Eurt.
Superintendent Lyon left here yes
terday morning with 20 men for the
scene of the wreck. The greater part
of the wrecked cars were loaded with
grain. Passengers, baggage and ex-
press will be transferred until the
bridge is up ready to cross.

THE CIRCUS.
The Tent Crowded And General
Satisfaction.

The enormous tent at Central Park
was crowded last night when the COM
bined Sells anb BaaIett circuses gave
their first performance. Everything
seemed new and clean and bright: the
arrangements were all complete, and
everything had been done to make the
place attractive. There were two
rings and the usual platform, and all
were in fair view of the spectators
wherever they were seated. The first
impression was of an exceptionally
well-ordered establishment. The pro-
gramme disclosed a very interesting
series, comprising twenty-five different
acts and twelve races. There we're
comical mules, tight-rope dancing.
highperch performances, leaping and
vaultiBg, splendid riding, bareback
and otherwise, clever bicycle maneu-
vers, acrobatic feats and posturing and
contortion, balancing and juggling
aerial performances of various kinds,
trapeze and flying rings, horizontal
bar, slack wire, magic ladder and
swinging acts, hurdle riding, cannon,
ball Juggling, feats of strength with
chairs and tables, head balancing
on trapezes and hippodaome racing
programme. Every act was good.
some remarkable clever, and speaking
generally, the performance was all
through rs entertaining as any ever
given in the city. The riding of Sells
is worth seeing of itself; it is dashlng,
graceful and exciting. Too much
stress cannot be laid upon the atten-
ton that is paid to the audience by
the ushers and the people in charge,
or on the thoroughness with which the
performers do their work. There is
evidently a very strong business man
agement at the head of affairs. 1t Is
hardly possible to segregate the acts so
as to say which are best performed,
but most agreeable finale is the short
sharp and decisive series of races
which are vastly interesting and arouse
a great deal of excitement for the
money.-San francisco Chronicle,
April 9th.

BOWEN d KINasBuBY. Prop'tra

/ A Washington correspondent states
that W. E. Arnold. of Huron, is at the
national capital with Governor Church's
resignation in his pocket. He is said TO
be prepared to present the resignation
to President Harrison whenever he CON
aiders that the best interest of Mr..
Church can be subserved thereby. He
will, however. withhold it altogether II
he concludes that its presentation
would be beneficial to Mr.. Mellette. The
president is not likely to walt an un-
reasonable length of time for this resig-
nation. A new governor for Dakota is
promised this week and he will probably
be Mellette, of Watertown. There is a
rivalry between Pierce and Mellette, but
it lis q friendly one, and is more ques-
tion OF whether North OF South Dakota
shall have the appointment than a choice
between the men. Ii Mellette is chosen
TO represent South Dakota, Richardson,
OF Grand Forks, will be made secre.
tary, as representative OF North Dako-
ia. Tbs president has given notice that
he will not otappoint citizens of the states
to offices in the territories, but Will
adhere strictly 30 the proposition laid
down in the republican platform. Ex.
eeptloD. however, may be made in cases
of chief and associate Justices of the
supreme courts.

The Bismarck Tribune explains that
by the new territorial law relating to
trustees and boards of dire ctors OF the
public institutions, ell the present
boards we're leEislated out of offi,e. The
new appointments OF the governor not
having been confirmed, all those Offices
are vacant. To take advantage OF the
new law, as Interpreted by himself, the
governor considered eli his old sp-
poinsees out of office. Then he commits.
stoned new officers, after the adjourn
ment OF the Legislature. Most OF the old
outfit were retained, but few new
names we're substituted for officials no.
satisfactory to the governor. In making
out commissions he follows substantially
the list sent to the council and not con.
firmed. 1t is understood the governor
intends 10 appoint all his unconfirmed
|appointeee, and then claim that the
tenure of office act docs not apply to the

ed intense excitement in railroad circles
They had no idea. that the differences

the fact that in addition toa fine any
person connected with railroad who
shall be convicted of discrimination shall
be liable to imprisonment In the peni-

1t Is stated by the St. Paul Pioneer
Press that the last legislature wss not
extravagans. The appropriations for
the maintenance OF public institutions
for one year are 100000 less than the
annual territorial revenue. The Pioneer
Press finds that the Legislature was
economical in appropriations, but was
inclined to be luxurious in some other
speclaltiee. For instance Is employed
seventy clerks to perform the work fo,
seventy-two members. But it should
be remembered that the legislature was
composed mostly OF offsrmers-men IN.
accustomed to clerical labor.
