The committee of the Western Water

various members circulars in which they
are asked to give their preference for the
next convention of the association, to be
held sometime before congress meets.
1t has been suggested that the association
be extended an invitation to hold their

1t is to be hoped that the Business

vitation to meet here, and in carnival
week; and that the invitation will be sc>
cepted. The various members of this
association would enjoy the carnival, and
besides there are so many points of inter
est in this vicinity for them to visit. They
would have an opportunity of seeing
where the Hennepin canal will empty
into the Mississippi.
While Rock Island would like the con-
vention and could entertain it nicely, it
would not be apt to evince disposition

spoken first. Nevertheless if Davenp ort

DEATH ON THE RAIL. !
ANOTHER DISASTROUS SUNDAY
WRECK Of TIE BALTIMORE
IND ONO RAILROAD.


There was another terrible wreck on
the Baltimore and Ohio Railway at an
early hour ON Sunday morning which
terminated in the death Of two railroad
employees and the serious injury Of i
third. This accident, like the one one
week ago Sunday occurred just at day
light while dense fog was oyerhang-
ing the valley Freight trains 3Dl
and i35 were running along IN close
proximity tdAach other not far from
Cedar Creek. The latter train, which
was IN advance. sIackened up lis speed
materially without putting torpedoes
on the track % warn the train that
was following and running on schedule
'times All d sudden, while rounding
a sharp curve and before the brakes
could be applied, the engine, which
was driven BY Charles Earnest, crash
cd into the caboose Of the train in al.
vance, and there WINS a general mash
up.
Fireman J. II. Rogers, who worked
on the same engine, jumped about the
time the crash came, bntnot before he
had been terribly scalded about the
head and upper part q the body.
Earnest, the engineer, besides being
badly mutilated III the wreck Of his
engine was also horribly scalded, and
only survived few hours after being
removed from beneath the demolished
cab. II was at first thought that his
was the only death that had rcsultedf
from the wreck, but upon investigation
among the debris Of the demolished
osdanotherhorribly nangled body
was found. This was ascertained To-
be that Of William Tharp, another en-
gineer, who must have been asleep in
the caboose. It seems that he had not
been on duty and was making dead
head run on the train. Both Of the,
men that We're killed were well known
IN Martinsburg and formerly resided
here. Recently Charles Earnest has
been living at Brunswick, where he
has just completed new house, and
where he leaves wife and several
children. The body Of William Tharp
was taken to Keyser, where the inter-
ment viii take place. ] !. L. Rogers,
the scalded fireman, was brought TO
this city where he is now receiving
careful treatment. His injuries are Of,
a very painful character and be will
be confined to his room for some time.
A good many cars were wrecked and
all passenger trains on the line were
delayed several hours.
