first car. do not know that this was
done. but can think of no other reason"
THIS WRECK
is the first one of consequence on the
Michigan Central road for fourteen
years. On Oct. 10, 1879, the west-bound
Pacific express crashed into q switch
engine in this city, killing eighteen peo-
pie and injuring thirty-tive. Jackson
people regard it as coincidence that
these horrible wrecks occurred in the
Yards in this city in the same month
and the same day of the week-Friday.
In all parts of the city tonight
people are gathered In knots dis
cussing the latest accident and
the one of fourteen years ago, which oc-
Cured within stones throw of the
place where the debris marks the place
of today'S wreck. At the Michigan
Central station railroad men are gath
cred in groups discussing the horror.
The accident happened probably 100
yards east of the depot, There were
congregated tonight hundreds of curious
people at the scene. A pile OF brands
smashed into thousand pieces, mixed
together with bent and twisted iron.
marks the spot. This is what remains
of the baggage car of the second train.
When the engine ahead of it struck the
heavy train there was sudden reac-
ton and the car was twisted out of
shape. 1t was found necessary to
smash the car to pieces to clear the
track. The wrecked cars and engine
made great pile of wreckage. They
were forced together in one huge heap
OF unrecogniZaOle timberS and iron. 1t
had the appearance of being pounded
together by hydraulic ram. The last
two cars were driven together in very
peculiar manner. The rear car was
driven by main force through the one
next in front, the two being united as
perfectly as closed telescope. damned
into the rear OF these cars were the
pilot and front part of the engine. To
the east of this was car with every
pane of glass shattered from its win
dowS. the trucks were broken and
pushed from beneath. A coach stand
Ing on siding near the main track was
overturned. The baggage car was ahead
with the floor completely wrenched
from it on one side and pushed up to
the roof, forming triangle. Both of
these cars had the ends smashed in.
Ropes were stretched to keep back the
surging mass of people who crowded
and jostled each other te gain a view of
the pile of timber and iron which
covered the injured and dead. The
passengers who We're not injured hur-
rledly scrambled from the two trains
and gathered about the wreckage.
Those who had missing friends pressed
forward in frenzied grief, and many sad
and touching scenes were enacted. As
the news spread people began to arrive
from all parts of the city and surround
ing country. Curious people climbed
up on box cars and every point of van
tage. The factories in the vicinity shut
down. Everybody gave what assist
ance he could.

We do not intend to indorse any ex-

therefore take pleasure in recommends

Mrs. Mary c. Tyler, of Heppner, Or.
writes: One package of Pyramid Pile
Cure entirely cured me of piles, from
which L have suffered for years. and l
have never had the slightest return of
them since.
Mr.. E. O'Brien, Rock Bluffs, Neb..
says: The package of Pyramid Pile
Cure entirely removed every trace of
itching piles. L cannot thank you
enough for it.
The Pyramid Pile Cure is new, Ger
tain, painless cure for every form of
piles. 1t is safe, sure and cheap. Any
druggist will get it for you if you ask
him.

DUvAL's COMMISSIONERS.
The Legality of the Appointments
Made by the Governor Denied.

Jacksonville, Fla, June 16-There is
more war in Duyal county, already famed
for her tendencies in that direction
During the last legislature the governor
sent to the Senate the nominations of five
commissioners for this county The
Senate failed to confirm them, it being
the last day of the session. All the nOmi-
nees were men of the anti side and they
were nominated upon recommendation of
the anti-executive ~ committee The
straightOuts claim that the appointment
by the governor is not sufficient to give
them title to the Office, by virtue of a
clause in the constitution which says the
appointment of county commissioners
shall be made by the governor by and
with the consent of the Senate Three
members of the old board, who
are straightouts, have asked legal advice
of Col A. w. COckrell, who replies in a
letter of some length quoting the consti-
tuition and numerous decisions in support
of the theory that their title to the Office
Is good by reason of the appointment
made two years ago by the former gov
ernor. 1t is probable that the matter
Will get into the courts at very early
date. The powers of county commission
ers are such as TO have some significance
IN matter of politics.
