There was collision between
two freight trains on the Southern
Pacific Railroad, near Bayou Sale,
Thursday morning. The wreck of
the engines and cars is said to be
fearful to look at. The trains
were running at a high speed
when the accident occurred, the
engines entered in one another
and the cars were crushed to splin-
tiers. A brakeman was killed and
several others of the trainmen
were injured, some of them are be-
lieved to be fatally wounded.
Some of the local candidates
swelled after the result of the
mass meeting last Sunday, but
they may burst before they rea-
lie their object that of being
elected to the local Offices. Vic
tory some times means defeat, and
we have reason, to believe that the
carrying of the parish for Nc
Emery by 80 votes is not very en-
couraging for the local leaders as
they are sure that there is a solid
and growing opposition to them.
which cannot be stopped, but OIL
the contrary will keep ON increas-
ing, and when the next election
comes those same politicians who
were victorious last Sunday will
come to grief when they will have
to face the opposition which means
to eni-defeat.
