JUDGING FROM the expressions OF many
of the newspapers of the State on the sub
ieot OF the State debt, it would seem that a
compliance with the respectful proposition
of the creditors for q conference, with the ob
ject OF settling that debt, would not be as
unpopular as some of the members of the
legislature suppose. Every real well Wish
ar OF the State wants the debt settled II 1t
can be lone without raising the tax rate on
property and the creditors don't want to
increase that rate. Neither do the creditors
AJAX for the payment of the principal OF their
dsbt, hut only FOR the interest, and a low
rate of interest at that, and besides, only Oh
two thirds of the principal. With the
means at hard for settling the debt on the
favorable terms proposed, why vein and
Injurious attempts to repudiate it are per-
slated In. ls one of the strangest things in
this e%Ventful age.

CINCINNATI, Jan. 1S.-Mr. d. y. Dumont,

Mr. A. R. Carver, Of Chicago when the &C
cidept occurred. There were very few
other passengers in the car. The shock
threw Us over against the seat in front of US
and 1 was half stunned. a man whom l
after ward found was Mr.. Rothschild, of
Davenport, Iowa, came through the car q
moment after the wreck and asked for Gods
sake to come and help get the people out of
the cars in trout. We went out and found
three cars in front of our engine, all burning
inside. Two ofthem were telesooped. A mar
was trying to break a window with his fst
in the car nearest Us. He told me that his
hand wssu'G strong enough to break the
glass and asked me to get q club quick, as a
man was burning up in the Car. 1 pulled a
paling from the fence and we broke the win.

name was got half way through the win.
dow, and, with the assistance of Mr. Carver,
Mr. Rothschild and myself, dragged out q
young fellow In a soldiers uniform. BE
was grooming and only hall conscious and
hsd a terrible cut In the right side Of bis
throat. We tore out q section of the fence
aud carried him into the cemetery. We laid
him down, and in a few minutes the news
boy and some other train hands brought ON.
Wa5 he baggage master. Re was suffering
terrible agony, and from the wey he breath
ed / thought he had inhaled the flames.
His clothing Was burned nearly of Of him.
Everybody seemed confused aud we did not
know what to do for the wounded men. Some
one said that we ought to get an ambulance,
and iust then the patrol wagons came through
the cemetery. We called to the drivers and
they took the two wounded men away"
Mr.. Dumont's experience was equalled by
that of Fed. Silver, the baggage man on
tbs vestioule. He was thrown to the end of
the Car by the shock. The newsboy Ed.
last name unknown, called MIN to come and
help rescue Staley. the baggage man of the
accommodation. and between them they
dragged Staley through the window. The
engine of the rear train which ran into the
accommodation is known as the STRONG
engine" one of a new design which has been
patented by Mr.. Strong, the Inventor, and
which ia expected to draw trains easily at
from sixty to seventy miles an hour. The
engineer did not sea the light of the rear
car Of the accommodation before him until
he was almost on it. Sill no applied the

COMMUNICATED

Now that the subject of a bri ige across Hooffs
run at the head of King street has come before
tho City Council it is to be hoped that that body
will decide to unite with tho county and erect a
permanent and substauti Il structure there. 1t IS
true that the point is in the county, but If the
city ia to grow at all it will be only q few years
before the cor porate limits extend beyond it. All
the travel to Ivy Hill cemetery, tho Theological
Seminary ard High School crosses this run, ard
its proximity impresses strangers that the city is
to blame for the present dangerous and unsightly
structure. There is more travel over this road
than any other entering the city. but in addition
to this should Monnt Vernon Avenue take either
of the two Western routes, it will be all-important
for the city TO have q good rosd connecting with
it, which will DO impossible without q substantial
bridge at this point. The roadway at Hunting
creek is to be improved, and with a good bridge
across Hoof7s run tho approaches to the city will
be gradually getting into a condition that our
people need not feel ashamed of. CITIZEN.
