WENT IN THE DITCH
Freight Train No. 90 Wrecked Be-
tween Resolis and EImon.
THE ENGINE AND TEN CARS OFF
Conductor FELTON,, Engineer WOIcOtt and
Fireman Davis Badly Injured
Caused BY Drifting Sand.

Saturday forenoon the Rock Island rail-
road officials received kilograms that the
east-bound freight No. 96 was wrecked be-
tween Resolis and LimOn. The wrecker
was gotten out and started for the scene of
the accident.
When passenger train No. Is, which was
ahead of the freight, came into Limon they
reported sand drifting OH the track which
they had to shovel of before they could
proceed.
Orders were sent to the trainmen on 60 to
watch out for sand on the track. The wind
was blowing gale and the flying dust and
dirt made it impossible to see but short
distance, and to keep better look out the
conductor and head brakeman were on the
engine. The train was moving ahead very
slow when they met the section gang at
the top of the hill east OF Resolis. They
said that TIE track was all right and that
no sand was drifting down the hill. Steam
was let on and he train under good head
way when the drift was discovered. VOL
colt reveI sed the engine and put on the air,
but they were to close to stop. The con-
ductOr, brakeman and fireman jumped and
the engineer was thrown out as the engine
went over on its side with dozen box cars
piled on top. The brakebeam caught the
engineer who was buried in the sand and
to make matters worse two cars were piled
over him. He was pinned down, but by
digging the sand away from his face he
was able to breathe and make noise enough
to attract attention. The only way he
could be reached was to tunnel for him.
This was done, and at the expiration of
couple of hours he was released. He was
badly bruised and Scalded but still living.
Conductor FELTON, was badly crushed and
it is thought was injured internally. He
was caught by the wreckage, but managed
to clear himself.
Fireman Davis was badly crushed, two
ribs being broken and a splinter run into
his leg which took the strength of two men
to extract.
Brakeman Mixer was not hurt. AS he
jumped the engine gave a lurch which
threw him about 80 feet, causing him to
turn about three summersaults in mid-air
and landed him in a sand bank little the
worse for his experience.
Brakeman Patrick was also thrown from
the train, but got off with few bruises.
~ The injured are all expected to recover.
1t was lucky escape for all.
Several accidents have happened about
the same place, among which was the one
when Engineer Mccormick and several
passengers lost their lives and Fireman
Hanlin was hurt. The road winds among
the sand hills and is as nasty a piece of
track as can be found in the west. No
blame is attached to-the crew and it is
hoped that their situations will b. ready
for them on their recovery.
A special train with Conductor Dick Bell
in charge brought the sufferers into Good
land. The train was hauled in by the snow
pillow engine, with Engineer Price at the
throttle.

The Coughlin trial has been one of
the most noteworthy in the history Of
the country. Daniel Coughiin, an ex-

plicity in the murder of DR.. P. H.
Cronin, a prominent Irish physician.
Cronin was well known in one faction of
the Clan-na- Gael and it was to members
of the opposing faction that his murder
was charged. At the former trial
Coughhn, Martin Burke and Patrick
O'Sullivan were convicted of the murder
and sentenced to life imprisonment. The
two latter died in prison and the present
defendant secured a new trial. DR..
Cronin disappeared on the evening of
May 4, 1880. After protracted search
his body, mutilated and decomposed,
was found in catch basin in the north
ern part of the city. In the same section
of the city stands the little Carlson cot
tage, where the theory of the prosecu-
ton places the murder.

terious Volumes of Irving.
WASHINGTON, March 14.-Brotherly
love and almost deferential politeness
was the spirit which prevailed in the
intercourse of the attorneys in the Pol
lard-Breckinridge case Tuesday. Like
fash of lightning the. blow from the
hand of Colonel Shelby of Ken
lucky the night before had cleared
the surcharged atmosphere of its
anger. While there was much dis
cussion among the lawyers upon the
point whether Attorney w. @. johnson
furnished provocstion for the physical
resentment which Colonel Shelby offered,
everyone seemed glad to have the trouble
smoothed over, as it was Judge Brad
ley's course in dismissing it with an ex-
preston of regret.
Most of the da, was consumed in read
ing long deposition. after which Sister
Cecilia of Pueblo, Colo, was called to
identify the mysterious volumes of Irv-
ing, by which it is expected to prove that
Miss Pollard gave birth to child in the
Norwood convent near Cincinnati in
1884 or 1885.

GOVERNOR WAITE RESTRAINED.
Judge Graham Decides Against Him In TIN
Police Controversy.


Police Controversy.
DENVER, March 1h.-Judge Graham
decided the motion made to modify the
injunction granted last week restraining
Governor Waite, Major Van Horn and
Messrs. Barnes and Mullins, the new fire
and police commissioners, from forcibly
dispossessing Messrs. Orr and Martin.
He denied the motion. This leaves the
present incumbents in Office until the
title to the Offices is settled by civil
action.
Governor Waite, acting upon the ad-
vice of his counsel, has determined to
enter no demurrer to the injunction is
sued by Judge Graham. No objection
being offered it is presumed the injunc-
ton will be made permanent, but it is
understood that nevertheless the new
fire and police board will attempt to
take control of affairs and clash be-
tween the executive and judicial depart
ments of the state seems inevitable.

Rio DE JANEH.o, March 1.-THE war
is practically over and the cause of the
insurgents is lost. There is much re-
joicing in this city at the elimination of
the struggle which has lasted so many
months but seemingly but to hamper
business and destroy property. The
rebel forces have surrendered uncon-
ditionally almost without firing shot,
The officers of the insurgent feet have
taken refuge on board French and Por-
tuguese warships. One French war ves-
sci has put to sea with many of the
rebel officers on board. 1t is said that
Admiral da Cana is on board the British
warship Sirius. When the fact became
known that Da CANA had offered to
capitulato the government feet entered
the harbor quietly. AS the vessels made
their way up the bay they were saluted
by the various government batteries.
The greatest excitement prevails in the
city. The streets are crowded and every
where can be heard the cry of ''Viva
Peixoto."

gents In Rio lay.
copyrighted, 1894, by the Associated Press.1
RIO DE JANERo. March 14.-Tuesday,
at 10 o'clock precisely, the bar fortress
opened fire upon Fort Villegaignon. In
short time the government forces at
Fort Armacao and Fort Gragoal joined
in the bombardment. The fire was not
returned by the insurgents.
The bombardment was continued nm
til 3 o'clock, when it ceased. Castillo,
San Bento, Saude, Curvello and all the
city batteries then opened furious fire
upon Fort Villegaignon and the insur-
gent warship Tamandere. The fire was
also directed upon the insurgent works
at Cobras island and at other places.
The forces at Enchadas lowered the hos
pital flag and hoisted the insurgent en-
sign. The garrison at Governors island
also took part in the attack on Fort
Villegaignon, which was badly ham
mered by the government guns.
The fort on Cobras island took fire but
the flames were soon extinguished. The
firing of the batteries lasted for an hour.
No great damage was done. The insur-
gents did not fire shot, outstanding
their ammunition.
At 4 o'clock the government fleet ap-
peared off the harbor, the torpedo boat
Aurora leading. The other vessels in
the fleet were the Nictheroy, America,
Itaipau Bahia, Tiradentes and Parabyba
and two steamers and five torpedo boats.
Immediately upon the appearance of the
squadron the rebels hauled down the
white ensign from one of the ships and
hoisted a signal which was answered
from shore.
A launch containing an officer then
went from one insurgent ship to another
and each vessel lowered the white flag.
Two torpedo boats of the government
feet outside then entered the bay. One
of them went to Fort Villegaignon and it
was shortly followed by the launch from
the rebel ship. A few minutes latter the
white ensign came down from the fort
and at 5:15 the government fleet came
up the bay, being welcome sight to the
anxious people on shore.

ing on him to state his authority for
issuing instructions placing the armed
