APPALLING ACCIDENT.
Fourteen Lives Lost at Louis
vile, Kentucky.
Wind Storm Causes Death and
Disaster in New York.
DR.. Knifen and Miss Purcell
Admitted to Bail.

LOUISVILLE, Jan. 9.-The most APP
palling accident known here in many
years occurred this evening about G
O'Clock. Caisson No. /. about 100 yards
from the Kentucky shore. used in the
construction of the new bridge between
Louisville and J~effersonvllle. suddenly
gave away and the workmen employed in
it were either drowned or crushed to
death by stone and timbers. AS the
workmen in the pumping station were
looking for the men in the caisson to put
of in their boats leaving for the night
they suddenly saw a low, dark structure
in the dashing white waves. The life
saving station was Immediately notified
of the accident and three skiffs were
manned and pulled to the scene OF the
wreck.
Word was also sent to the police sta
ton and a squad was at once ordered to
the ground to aid in the work OF recovery.
The site of the bridge is at the upper end
of the city, Just below Towhead island.
Within an hour from the disappearance
of the caisson 5000 people we're on the
shore and strained their eyes trying TO see
something of the wreckage. A dozen
boats were plying about over the
spot where the caisson had stood and the
life lights danced to and fro with them,
but there was no trace of the massive
structure of stone and timber. 1t was
soon known that only Tour of the eighteen
men who were at work at the time of the
accident had escaped.
The negroes who escaped say John
Knox, gang boss, had them dig two days
before letting the caisson settle and the
digging was too close to the shoe of the
caisson. just before the accident Knox
gave some order to the keeper in charge
of the upper door to the exit. He
opened this door and the compressed air
which kept out the river rushed out, let
ting in the stream. The men say they
we're working ugly quicksand at the time.
The caisson was about forty feet by
twenty and built of timbers twelve inches
square
The last man out of the caisson was
Frank Haddie, and he barely escaped by
Murray, who dragged him from where
he was caught waist deep in quickssnd.
Abe TAYLOR, one Of the saved. says he
stood nearest the iron ladder by which
they got in and out. He heard a rumb-
ling and there was a rush of air almost at
the same instant. He Jumped up the
rungs of the ladder followed by the other
men. They had hardly got clear OF the
caisson when water burst through the
manhole knocking the men all into the
river, where they were picked up. Had
die says he saw Morris, who was climb,
ing next below himself, swiftly drawn un-
der by the sand and heard his cries for
help. but could do nothing. The caisson
is not wrecked as was first supposed. but
has settled down in the bed OF the stream
completely filled with sand and water.
The pumping station is hard at work
clearing the way to the bodies, but none
can be reached tonight. There seems
absolutely no hope for any ofthose caught
within the c~aisson.

NO MORE PROXIES.

The late legislature of North Dakota
has not been regarded as body singu-
lar in devotion to reforms in general.
Some have even been SO ill-natured as
to assume that elevating and purifying
processes evolved from it would indi-
cate that streams can rise above their
source. Still, it did attempt one feat of
the reformatOry order. IT. passed law
prohibiting the use of proxies in any po-
litical convention by persons residing
out of the county where that is the unit
of representation. This. is a new ttfirec-
ton for the-legislative mind, and is due
to the practice in the territorial condi-
ton that probably had abuses. In the
remote and sparsely settled counties
people do not usually have much sur
plus means to eXpend in travelling. and
they have often been represented, NOM
inaily at least. by persons not residing
among them. Active and alert politi-
clans have appeared at conven-
lions with pockets gorged with
proxies. This made their influence
sought by those who had schemes to be
worked. 1t has been charged at times
that considerable financial value has at
tached to these proxies, and there are
traditions that these were at times man-
ufactured outside the county. The law
to break up this industry imposes fine
of $50 and upwards or detention in Jail
for the offender. AS practical result.
the remote districts will frequently be
without representation, and conventions
will shrivel in their voting capacity. 1t
will make it more difficult for few in
dividuals to operate such bodies, and
perhaps disturb an industry that had
considerable fat in it. The aim may
have been to interfere with the opera
tions of the syndicates that have been
alleged to be prevalent in political af-
fairs there. 1t may be salutary iii oper-
alton. but it has the appearance of i'm
pertinence to assume to regulate the
composition of bodies Of citizens not
acting in any official or legal capacity.

LONDON, April 26.-The Herald to-
day publishes an interesting account of
an Interview with Prince Bismarck.
The prince said that if in power he
would not interfere with wofkmen on
May day. Neither would he dis
play anxiety, which would only increase
the aggressiveness Of the agitat0rs. An
tagonism between employers and en-
ployed was natural law and
a necessity of human progress.
Progress would cease should
men ever become satisfied.

slavery, as in Africa, Or where munifi-
cent nature does not ask man to work
He dwelt upon the need of combating
socialism, the victory of which he said
would mean government by the least
Intelligent. lie predicted that socialism
would give deal of trouble yet. He
said that man who would yield to the
present manifestation was a coward,
and that it was sometimes true benevo-
lence to shed the blood of riotous
minority in defense of a law-abjding ma
jority. Continuing: 1.-THE first requisite
In government is energy-nOt to be
time server, nor to sacrifice the future
to temporary or present convenience.
The firmness, indeed, the fierceness of
the ruling power is guarantee of peace
at home and abroad. A government
which is yielding to the majority and
retaining its authority by concessions,
thus paving the way for further conces-
sions. is in sore strait.' He declared
that May day was not dangerous
enemy. The naming of the day for an
assault need not be deemed serious. 1t
would be merely a sham fight, like that
of the Salvation Army.

net that he was there as the special rep
resentative of Wall street interests, and
that it was expected of him to use his
influence in behalf of the gold bugs.
He discharged his duty to the special
interests he represents when he urged
his silver certificate plan upon congress,
for it was nothing more or less than
skillfully devised scheme to demonetize
silver under the specious guise OF
making the government purchaser
of silver bullion. The friends of the
silver dollar have not been deceived by
Mr.. WINDOWS finesse, but, on the con-
trary, they were aroused to the neceS-
sity for prompter and more vigorous
action in the direction of free silver
coinage than had heretofore been en-
ployed. That was the secret and the
whole secret of the course now being
pursued by congress in relation to
silver.
Ii there is any country in the world
justified in maintaining the double
standard, it is our own. Gold and silver
are both American products, and it is
clearly to our national interests that
both should be recognized as money.
Nothing but a selfish motive could
prompt opposition to any legislation
that proposes to place silver ON an equal
ity with gold. The hue and cry raised
by the advocates of the single standard,
that the proposed legislation of congress
would result in lowering the market
price of gold, is tribute to the intrinsic
value Of silver, as well as an admission
that it has been purposely dishonored
by former legislation.
1t is to the interest of Wall street to
have hard times. A free coinage of
silver would create flush times; hence
Wall street opposes silver initiation in
every form. Wall street has had full
swing so long in shaping the financial
policy of the government its represent
atiyes can't realize how it is possible
that the people should have voice in
the matter. Fortunately, however. the
members of congress are brought into
closer sympathy with the people by
reason of the agitation of the silver
question, and are acquiring wisdom as
the discussion proceeds. Congress is
nearer right now on financial matters
than it has been at any time within the
last thirty years, and we hope to see it
hold its ground.

A SAMPLE STATE.

Michigan has an important election
this year, covering the Legislature and
all the important state officials, as we'll
as congressman. There are no disturb
ing local questions, as in Wisconsin and
Iowa. 1t is to be plain, straight work
on national lines; and for this reason
the situation may be taken as criterion
of the Western states politically, and
probably most of the East. Gov. LUCE
is a farmer, and has made an efficient
and popular governor. He is entitled
to the nomination from his party, and
probably can have it without opposition;
yet he positively refuses to run, and as
signs no plausible reason. 1t is, how
ever, we'll understood that the decision
is due to his realization that the reform
wave will sweep down to McGINTY any
Republican ticket in that state this year.
Some of his friends credit him with an
ilItimation that he has no desire to con-
clude his career in that direction. Other
possible aspirants are looking Oil with
shaking heads. The Chicago Tribune
credits one of them with the declaration
that he will not even consider the mat
ter sunless congress takes speedy action
and redeems the promises made in the
last two Republican national conyen-
tons i'll respect to revision OF the tar
iff.n That state has lumber and mining
interests that it is aimed to beguile
