ANOTHER DISASTER.
A Train Plunged Over an Embankment
and Thirty Lives Said to Have Been

Train Plunged Over an Embankment
and Thirty Lives Said to Have Been
Lost.
CRAwFoRDsvILLE IND, Jan. 11.-A
fearful railroad disaster occurred here
this afternoon when passenger train
crowded with 200 passengers rushed
from the track of the Louisville, New
Albany d Chicago road, plunged down
an embankment 20 feet high, crushing
many people and plnning others fast
The five coaches Immediately caught fire
from the stoves and 30 passengers in the
smoking car were burned to death or
frightfully injured.
There was frightful scene following
this mad freak of the locomotive. Men
and women screamed with pain and
fear. The efforts of those who were
unhurt to aid the injured were met with
the rising flames that shot up through
the splintered sides of the wrecked
coaches. Many persisted before help
reached them, while others were so
badly burned that great pieces of flesh
dropped from their bones.
A FEARFUL. PLUNGE.
The south-bound passenger train,
maui uP VI uNe CpacleS, tne front one
being smoker, was due here about
$50 o'clock this afternoon. 1t was rush
ing down at 35-mile an hour rate.
when it reached Nicholson's crossing
just north of this city.
Then the locomotive leaped from the
rails like flash, cut diagonal furrow
down a steep embankment 20 feet hieh
pulling the whole train after it. The
coaches toppled over and over in their
descent
WILD CONFUSION.
Within the coaches all was fear and
the passengers were horribly shaken and
thrown about. AS the coaches reeled
over, all the 200 people fell on the under
side and rolled over and over as the cars
went down. Arms and legs were broken,
skulls were cracked and bodies crushed
When the bottom was reached, before
the dozen and bleeding passengers could
extrlcate themselves from the wreck.
the red hot Goals from the car stoves
poured out and set fire to the woodwork.
The flames spread to the window
shades and the clothing of the injured,
and soon all was ablaze.
The work of rescue began at once,
and when the fire was gotten under
Roadway all the bodies were taken out
that could be found.
Thirty people were either dead or so
badly injured that their lives are in
danger.

LIABILITY OF CARRIERS.

An Important Decision of the Kansas Sa-
preme Oaurs q I his Matter.
TOPEKA, KAN, March S.-The sd
Ireme court has handed down an inn
portant decision, which materially af-
tects the liability of railroads for goods
damaged while in transit The
case in question is entitled the
Atchison, Topeka & Santa Fe
Railroad Co, VS.. Mark Dill and
David w. Eiu The defendants
shipped some household goods, and
brought suit IN the Lyon county dis
the shipment was in transit The
shippers had signed a way bill. to which
was attached an unintelligible HERO
Elyphc which IS seen on all way bills,
the purport of which is that the ship
per releases the carrier from response
bility.
The shippers IN this instance claimed
that they did not know that they were
signing a release Judgment was rem.
dered in the lower court aud the su.
pre- me court sustained it. The decision
was written bv Chief Justice Horton,
both the associate judges concurring
1T is as follows:
A common carrier cannot limit his common
law liability by special contract in writing with
the shipper, unless it Ii freely and fairly made,
and the carrier cannot exact as a condition pre-
cedept sor carrying stock of goods that shipper
must sign = contract In writing limiting or chang
ing the common law liability. If the carrier
has two rates OF charges for carrying stock or
goods one Il carried under the old common law
liability and the other If carried under a special
contract, The shipper must have real freedoa. OF

OPPOSING SALISBURY.

English Liberals Opposed to . Change OF
Policy in the Rehring Sea Dispute.
LONDON, March 12.-Lord Salisbury's
delay in arranging for a renewal of
the modus wivendi in the Behring sea
matter has been a matter for private
consideration by the leaders of the OPP
position, resulting in decision not to
move An tke matter until the policy OF
the government appears more definite.
The foreign Office is unusually dilato-
ry in the production OF the papers in the
case. Apart from the extreme tory
organs. the opinion of the country is
dead against Lord Salisbury for risk
ing quarrel with the United States
for the sake of the small capital in
vested in fish boats.
TodaV's NUM- Der of the Speak
err indicates the attitude of the
liberals in arguing that the reasons
that induced Lord Salisbury to agree
to the modus vivendi in 1891 apply
with equal force in favor of renewal
in 1892; that if the English government
is confident of the strength of its case
there is all the greater cause to be con-
tent to await the decision of the arbi-
tration tribunal and to be ready mean
while to meet the Washington eXecu-
tive on a provisional arrangement

IRRIGATION.


Several Bills Introduced In Congress In Re-
gard to Irrigation and Arid Iands-1he
Propositions
WASHINGTON, March 1a-There is .
high tide of prospective legislation on
the subject of irrigation. Mr.. Lanham
has his arid land bill in the house and
Senator Warren has introduced a
similar measure in the senate. Several
minor bills have been introduced touch
ing the irrigation question with
out going to the extent OF
ceding the arid lands; and still
another bill has been introduced
by Senator Dolph- This bill approaches
the problem from another direction.
1t proposes that the United States shall
issue funds to the order of any state or
territory for the purpose of providing
for the requirement and construction
of dams, reservoirs. canals, artesian
and other wells. and any and all other
works and means to be used for the
development, conservation and furnish
ing of water supply for irrigation in
aid of agriculture. etc
Senator Dolph explained, on intro
ducing the bill, that it was not drawn
by him, but by a gentleman who has
given much attention to the subject.
The author of the bill-Judge j. w.
Gregory, of Kansas-claims for it that
it offers the means of solving the
problem of the reclamation of arid
lands most completely, in the shortest
possible time, at the least cost, under
all the benefits of local self-govern-
ment, whether the public lands shall
be coded to the states or not,
and in such a manner that peo-
pie now occupying arid lands
may be the first ones benefited, as
they ought to be: and that the benefits
of such reclamation will accrue most
largely to owners of small tracts of
land, and tend to subdivide the re-
claimed land into small holdings rather
than to aggregate it into large bodies
under syndicate ownership; that it will,
incidentally, increase the volume of
currency of the country in a perfectly
safe and healthful way, not leading to
hasty imitation or injurious specula-
ton, and that the securities will not be
a burden upon existing property, but
will be safely based upon newly Gre
ated real values.
Under the provisions of the bill not
more than $4,000. o0e of the currency
provided for could be issued to a single
state in single year, nor more than
a total of $40, 0o0, 600 to any one state
or territory. The administrative
| charge of 1 per cent, with all pay
ments on sinking fund account for the
redemption OF the debentureS, makes
the entire expense of such currency to
the benefciaries range from to 3.s
per cent per annum to discharge
both interest and. in due time the
principal The bill not only does not
appropriate any money on the part OF
the national government, but its opera
tions would create revenue instead
1t neither favors nor conflicts with the
movement to cede arid lands to the
states and territories, and is applicable
to the deserted homesteads and barren
lands of the eastern and southern
states as wen as to the arid areas OF
