The cases of Commons and Stone &
Cove vs.. the city of Baxter Springs
with reference to the damages done
the plaintiffs by reason Of the building
of tho dam here were again continued
in the district court on Wednesday
until the April term. Why these
cases are continually being continued
from time to time without apparently
coming any nearer to a settlement than
before is doubtless somewhat of a
mystery to many as it's to us. We
should think an adjustment of the
points at issue at the earliest possible
moment would be much more desira-
ble to all parties concerned than to let
the thing run along in the court as 1t
has for years with more costs accumu-
lating at every term. =

Another engine for use at the Spring
Branch prospect was brought in from
Galena last Saturday and attached to
the machinery. Several difficulties
baye arisen since which have kept the
workmen from getting into the ground
or rather caused a failure to keep the
water out sufficiently, though almost
constant efforts have been made to do
so. They had the water almost down
to a working level yesterday.

give this simply to show the difference
between the quality of the credit of
the two towns.

COWARDLY AND MEAN.
breckenridge Thus Defines the Actions of
Certain Senators.


Certain Senators.
WASHINGTON, Sept. 5.-The Clayton
Breckenridge contested election case was
taken up and Breckenridge was accorded
the floor in his own behalf. He denied the
murder in his district as charged by the
committee on elections was political. The
men who charged either on the floor or in
the press that the people of Arkansas or
any group of people representing that
state have ever shown sympathy with that
infamous murder of Clayton, or that he
breckenridge had any knowledge of il
in the remotest degree, uttered that which
was cowardly and mean and which they
knew to he false.
Breckenridge continued by arraignine
the committee as biased. Clayton. he
said, was his bosom friend. Ii had been
said that he should have resigned after
the murder. To have done so would have
been to admit he believed the Clayton
murder affected the result of the election.
| The subcommittee had denied him wit
nesses. No greater debaucbery Of the
free ballot was ever committed. He closes
with the words: "Come to your conclus-
ion and will take an appeal TO the peo-
pie regardless of the party i'm the district
| have 10 represent on the broad ground
Of common honesty, and in November
they will reverse both your conclusion
and the method of your conclusion"
| Democratic applause.)
Dalzell Of Pennsylvania read in detail
the testimony hearing OH the theft Of the
ballot box at Plummersville, and said its
tEeft was absolutely necessary to Breck-
enridge's return. Yet he stood here and
| asserted il Lad been stolen by the repub-
| licans-this republican ballot box. The
house stood dumbfounded in the face OF
such sublime embodiment of impudeuce.
He commented npon the backwardness
| Of the state of Arkansas in endeavoring
TO hunt down the murderers. From h r
desecrated soil the blood OF John NJ.
Clayton cried to heaven, not for ven-
geance, but for justice, and the members
OF both sides were here as sacred minis
ters to execute her just DEGREES. lRepub-
lican applause.
The debate having closed Crisp OF Geor-
| gia moved to recommit the case with in
structions TO the committee on elections
to report which of the gentlemen re-
ceived a majority of the votes in the Sec
ond district of Arkansas. Lost-yeas S3,
nays 10l. A vote was then taken on the
minority resolution confirming Brecken-
ridges right TO the seat. Lost-yeas 81,
nays 103.
A resolution declaring the seat vacant
was then agreed to-yeas los, nays g.
The house then took a recess, the even
ing session TO be for the consideration OF
private pension bills.
The house, at the evening session,
passed 30 pension bills and at l0:3O adj
journed.

OGDEN, Sept. 5.-The Ogden north
bound freight train at Nephi, Utah, Tues
day had on board man whose leg had
been badly crushed and broken just be-
low the knee. When the train arrived at
that point the man was taken ont Of the
car and bundled into ware house at the
depot. The gruff voice Of train hand
sang out, "Here's q man with q broken
leg" The agent being busy did not urge
the trainmen for further particulars at
once, evidently expecting all would be
explained before the train left the depot.
In this, however, they were greatly mis-
taken, as no explanation was given. This
inhuman cruelty seems still worse when
il is considered that the man is a Bohe-
milan and unable to speak a word of Eng
lish, so that the people are unable to find
out anything concerning how or when the
accident happened.
This morning at IL o'clock the east
bound flyer on the Union Pacific,
while running at full speed thirty
miles east of Ogden, struck a
broken rail. Three cars, coach

injured. A Mrs. Gales was simply bruised
on the head and slightly cut. The train
was filled with passengers and had or
board William Bliss, president ol
the Boston q Albany road, ant
also Samuel Hoar, nephew of Senator
Hoar. The track was cleared at $3.50 p
m. Accounts of the wreck were great,
exaggerated during the day but the abov,
can be relied upon as correct.
On Wednesday an unfortunate foreigner
was shipped to Ogden, where he died yes
terday. From papers on his person hi
name is believed to be Shoeif, the where
abouts of his relatives being unknown.

den, 40 miles east, by broken rail.

rallied. The cars were somewhat smashed.
The passengers were badly shaken up
and Mrs. Gales of this city was bruised
about the head and arms. No one was
fatally injured. The passengers all con-
tinued their journey. The first reports
were grossly exaggerated. A wreck train
with surgeons was sent out, but was un.
necessary. The track was cleared to-
night at q 30.
