tended that the Window bill was illogical
and Wall street measure He had given
great deal of attention to the silver ques-

prepared by men who had not stud ed the
silver question, by New York banke IS and
bankers who had not studied from broad
standpoint the financial question
Teller stated that the treasury note which
the bill proposed to issue In return Tor de
posits of silver bullion made it appear as
though silver were merely commodity. II
the government recognized this principle
concerning silver, there was no reason why
1t should not be applied to pig-iron. II sill

INDIANAPOLIS, Jan 2S.-Tbe fast express
on the airline division of the Louisville, New
Albany and Chicago railroad was wrecked
1t the trestle over Wilson's creek, sixteen
miles north of this city, shortly before 8
o'clock yesterday morning. Seven persons
lost their lives and over twenty were injured,
several of the latter fatally. the train left
Chicago at 1l:56 o'clock yesterday morning.
Good time was being made, when the truck
Of the tender jumped the track just as the
edge of the trestle was reached. In this con-
dition it was dragged over the trestls, which
was safely cleared by the engine, baggage
ear, and smoker, the ladies' day coach, and
the sleeper making up the rest of the train.
A Plunge to Destruction.
The pulling of the trucks across the trestle
supposed to have Embossed the rails, and
Then the ladies' coach reached the center
the structure gave way and it fell with a
crash TO the creek below, distance of forty
feet. The sleeper followed and compl eted
the destruction of the ladies' coach by fall
ing upon it. 1t then rolled to one side Al
most simultaneously with the falling of the
first coach il took fire and added the terror
Of the flames to the awful condition of the
women, children and men who had been
caught and wedged In the wreck After
clearing the trestle the baggage car and
smoker also left the track and rolled down
the embankment
Silenced by the FL ames.
Everything was in the greatest confusion
and the cries of the persons pinioned in the
burning wreck of the day car seemed to par
alyze those who had escaped without injury.
1t was several minutes before any assistance
was attempted, and then it was too late to
be effective, as the flames had enveloped the
entire car, and many of the voices that had
cried in pteous tones for help were already
silenced by the devouring flames.
A Relief Train at Hand.
As soon the flames had subsidized the
work OF recovering the dead bodies began.
The train which leaves here for Chicago at
1880 a, IN. reached the scene soon after the
accident, and was Immediately converted
into relief train, the passengers aiding
those on the Inflated train in the
work of rescuing the bodies of the dead and

were taken from the wreck and arranged
