DASTARDLY WORK.

A Grand Rapids s. Indiana Train Wrecked
Near Kalamazoo, Mieh.-Evldently the
Work of Williams Who Misplaced Rail
"A Large Number Severely Injured.
KALAMAZOO, Mich, Aug. GA das-
tardly and successful plot to wreck
train was carried into execution yester.
day afternoon on the Grand Rapids d
Indiana road near Cooper, the first sta
tion north of Kalamazoo The fated
train was the through express, carry
ing the Mackinaw and Chicago sleeping
car and due here at noon. After leav-
ing Cooper, and while the train was
running 35 miles an hour, Engineer
Clark Snyder noticed what seemed to
be an open switch short distance
ahead He quickly applied the air
brakes, but before the train could be
stopped it ran onto the fatal spot.
The engine wheels caught in the
rails and ties and stayed on the track.
but the rest of the train went over an
embankment 30 feet high.
There were about sixty passengers in
the train, and twelve in the Wagner
sleeping car. In the descent of the
latter to the bottom of the embankment
it rolled over twice and finally rested
right side up almost completely demol-
ished. The trucks and wheels tore
with terrific force through the bottom
of the coach and the escape of the pas
sengers from instant death is nothing
short of miracle.
Brakeman Conway, of Fort Wayne,
though badly injured about the head,
ran to this city for aid. A special train
| bearing a corps of surgeons went out
and in an hour brought the injured to
Borgess. hospital
While the injured were being cared
for railroad men investigated the cause
of the accident, and discovered that it
was caused by deliberate plot to
wreck the train. What seemed to Ens
gineer Snyder to be an open switch
was a rail sprung from it's place by
| bolts being taken out. The condition
of the nuts and bolts plainly showed
this. The ties and the spikes used in
holding down the rails bore evidence
of having been talnpered with.
The following is list of the injured:
A. Conway, Fort Wayne, head cut; n.
b. Williamson, Trenton, N. j., arm in

Controlled by the Farmers.

LOUISVILLE, KY, Aug. 6.-Late Ken
lucky election returns are favorable in
every instance to the farmers, and
there is no longer any doubt that they
will control the next legislature. They
are not all alliance or peoples party
men, however, although the people S
party has surprised the democrats by
clecting no less than thirteen of their
candidates. The political complexion
of the house is: Democrats, GS; repub-
licans. II; peoples party, 13; independ-
cnt democrat, j; and one district
doubtful The farmers of all par
ties number fifty-six besides
several country merchants and teach
ers, whose sympathies are in the same
directions. The farmers, hlost of whom
are alliance men, will have majority
in the democratic caucus. There will
be sixty-eight members of the demo-
cratic caucus, not counting the indie
pendent democrat. whose admission to
the caucus is doubtful, and thirty-nine
of them are farmers.
