Another Accident.

Yesterday morning during the heavy
fog which prevailed along the river,
what might have been very serious
accident happened at the crossover OF
the B. & o. and the side track which
runs into the mill. As the Belmont
Buck" No. was running up the B.
g. o. track with loaded car of pig
metal, Engine No. 1865 on the B. d
G. dashed into the car and smashed it
into kindling wood. Engineer
James Msloney as soon as
he saw the approaching engine,
did everything in his power to
get out of the way, but it was OF no
avail The brsksmen for the BUCK"
was running ahead of the car ut the
time, and tried to flag the B. g. o. en-
CINE down, but the fog was so dense 1t
was impossible for the engineer to see
him,
Fortunately there was no one on the
car at the time, or there would in all
probability have been more serious
accident to chronicle. As it was, the
brakeman on the "dinkey," James
Brodson, was pretty badly stirred up in
getting away from the flying timbers Of
the wrecked car.

A RAILROAD WRECK
INSIDE TEE CITY LIMITS, YESTERDAY, WITH
THREE MEN HURT.
A Collision BstwssS Freight and Gravel Train
on The Terminal Road Car Mashed
Up on the B. & o., South Side

An accident which might very easily
have resulted in large loss Of life &C.
Cured about ten o'clock yesterday
morning on the line of the Terminal
Railway Company, at point about two
hundred yards south of the Baltimore
and Ohio tunnel and within the city
limits. AS it was, three men-employes
of the Company-were wounded, others
only making their escape by timely
jump. Three cars were knocked from
the track and badly broken, and an en-
CINE was derailed. The fog was very
dense at the time along the line Of the
road-a fact which made the accident
possible, and which probably wholly &C
counts for 1t.
For some time gravel train has
been at work hauling cinderS from the
mills in the lower portion OF the city to
the Peninsula, and yesterday just be-
fore the accident train came mp
through the Chapline hill tunnel and
ran out towards the Peninsula, the en-
CINE backing the cars along at rather
rapid rate of speed. When the front
cars had reached a point about OPP
poste the east end OF Eleventh
street, those on board the
train saw rapidly ad-
vancing locomotive drawing a heavy
ore train loom up through the fog, and
th ere was q general and rapid exodus
frem the gravel train on the part of the
eighteen or twenty men who were o n
board. Before all could jump, however,
the advancing locomotive crashed into
the cinder cars, and as result the en-
CINE was thrown from the track, while
three OF the cinder cars were hurled
from the rails in badly broken condi-
ton, and the remainder Of the train was
fearfully shaken up.
Three Of the employees were caught in
the wreck and were badly hurt. They
are as follows:-
FRED MAUER-Left leg badly hurt and
general bruises. Taken to his home
in rear of the City Hospital.
PETER BRACY-QtSlian) Lip cut, right
eye hurt, and right shoulder injured.
Taken to City Hospital.
WILLIAM WEIsER-Right shoulder and
side hurt, and three or four inch scalp
wound. Taken to City Hospital.
News OF the accident was sent to the
police headquarters at once and the
patrol wagon, with Lieut.. Lukens and
an officer or two went out and brought
the wounded men into town. Very
much exaga Grated versions OF the casu-
atty were current for couple of hours,
as late as noon persons insisting that at
least one man had been killed or was
going to die of his wounds.

At the jewelers.,

Flower pins are shown in variety Of
new designs. The latest idea is the
long gold pin with an exQuisitelY enam-
eled flower ct the top. These pins may
be bought separately or in sets. 1t is
supposed that when violets are worn
the top Of the pin shall represent vio-
let, and the same idea is to be carried
out with different flowers. Another
flower pin is Roman gold
boWknot, the stems being thrust
through one golden loop. The
bowknots are quite large and are
frequently made OF colored enamel.
The latest tortoise she'll pins and combs
are all frightened with 3 touch Of gold.
The high Spanish combs have the top
traced with a gold design. Gold stars
are the most popular pattern. A high
comb Of this description is sold with six
tortoise shell hsirpins, each made with
q gold star on the top. When used in
dark hair the effect is charming. Dag
gers are still the vogue as hair orna-
ments. The handles are studded with
brilliant jewels.

IT'S DIFFERENT, NOW.
Consolidation is a Glorious Thing-if
you Don't Mind What you say.

How they have changed their
tune-those annex people in Pueblo
who see such blessings in the
proposed consolidation. They see
power, glory, prosperity and all the
proverbial good things which follow
in the train of union. How foolish
Bessemer is, to be sure, not to jump
at the chance to come into the fold
How utterly blind to its own in
terests. How peaceful and serene
all would be, according to the argu-
ments of the annex side.
This sounds very we'll, but how
was it two years ago when the
public building commission was in
Pueblo and decided to put the build
ing on the north side. The story is
still fresh in the minds of a great
many people that disunion was
seriously threatened and that GER
tain lawyers came forward and
offered for reasonable fee to break
the articles of consolidation uniting
the north and south sides. Indeed,
so fierce did the discussion become
that secession was openly threaten
ed and hundreds of south siders de
clared they were in for not only a
separation of the two parts of a
city, but they wanted to divide the
county ut the line of the river, and
south Pueblo and Bessemer would
then become enc city and take the
name of Bessemer. Those were
turbulent times and people watched
the Kilkenny fight from the hill top
and the fight is still on.
No, no; this bailiwick Is high and
dry beyond the reach Of the power
full combatants and will stay there
thank you.
The Bessemer indicator., 1894-03-10
FLlMSY ARGUMENTS.
THE FALSE REASONING OF THE
ANNEX PEOPLE.
Arguments that won't bear the light
of investigation-The notion that
Bessemer property would increase
in value by annexation exploded.

One of the chief arguments in favor
of consolidation which has always been
used by the thoughtlcss. is that Bes
semer is not known outside as city
and that by taking advantage OF
Pueblo's nsme the value of property
would be enhanced. that money would
be more freely loaned on it, and SO
forth and so on.
This moss covered old argument has
been so everlastingly ding-donged into
ones ears that people up this way have
grown very weary of hearing 1t. 1t is
no argument at all. simply an excuse TO
prey on the minds of those who have
never taken the trouble to examine into
the thing, and TO gain point tor an
nexation. The statement is false and
might as well be exploded once for all.
Let the hasty advocates of consolidation
answer these queations:
Why is it that the county assessors s
books show the valuation of property
in this town much hIgher-in many
instances twice us high as property in
the outlying districts of Pueblo equally
distant from the business portion of the
city,
Why is it that there is scarcely a
vacant house in Bessemer while In
many parts of Pueblo houses cannot be
rented at all?
Why is it that the alkali flats of
| East Pueblo are being abandoned, that
houses in the sand hills of Irving Place
go begging for tenants who are asked
To take the houses just to protect them
from vandalism, and that big houses on
the grassy plains of Carlisle Park do
not draw one-half the rent they would
were they in Bessemer?
Why is it? Will the advocates of
consolidation say?
Will they explain why it is that peo-
pie crowd into Bessemer and buy or
rent while in the outlying districts of
Pueblo houses go begging for tenants
and landlords are glad to let them for
nothing?
If it is such beneficial thing, If it is
such blessing to be under the ''pro-
lection" of the sheltering wing of the
big town i'll the valley. will somebody
explain away the striking comparison
between flourishing Bessemer and the
unhappy condition of such localities as
the gumbo bottoms of East Pueblo and
the dunes of Irving Place, to say moth
ing of the deserted village of Dundee?
The fact is this town Is better off be-
yond comparison than any of the
suburban localities equally distant from
the business center of Pueblo
As for not having reputation
abroad that is the fault of Bessemer
| itself because it is content to have its
mail distributed from the Pueblo post
office. If the people were satisfied to
do without the free delivery system
they could get post office without de-
lay and no thanks to Pueblo.
The annexa,ionists of that town are
hard up for ammunition when they
load themselves with such iiimsy
reasons" why Bessemer should come
under their sheltering wing.

age is particularly called to it as the
facts and figures show that by con
solidating with Pueblo it would be
impossible under the law of limitation
to vote the bonds and if this town is to
have sewerage it must vote the bonds
itself
1t is "A recognized fac; that the
present bonded Indebtedness of Pueblo
is S2S1 900 and its floating debt is
S292 100 making total of 1913. 100

except to purchase water works
She is blindly, hopelessly in debt as
it is.
This, then, being the case, where
would the oft repeated promise of
sewerage come in? As matter of
course if consolidated the territory
which comprised the town of Bessemer
could not be assessed independent of
Pueblo territory. for all must be taxed
equally for any public improvement,
and as real estate in Pueblo will not
stand further burden how could tax
be levied at all? 1t couldn't be, and the
cry of sewerage and an outlet for
sewerage is raised for deception, as
those willy schemers below are posted
on the actual condition of things.
The safe way, the cheap way and the
only way TO get sewers is to vote bonds
for them in Bessemer An opportunity
will be afforded the qualified electors
at the regular April election to vote on
the proposition of bonding the city for
S4O,0 for sewers. 1t is good move
and should carry. In 1890 PROPOSE
ton to vote $50, 900 sewer bonds was
voted down, and again in 1892 similar
proposition TO vote $50, 900 was also
voted down, but the result was not
satisfactory even to those who voted
against the bonds. S35 900 will build
main sewer the important laterals
and buy an outlet independent of con
meeting with the main sewer of Pueblo
Don't depend upon the city below
for assistance as it is utterly out of its
power to render any aid if it would.

THE Press is raising a great how
over what it declares is an attempt on
the part of i. north side gang to rob the
people of their franchise by tying the
consolidation question up in court. 1t
makes all the difference whose OK is
gorcd. One year ago when u south
side clique was raising heaven and earth
to have Bessemer annexed to Pueblo
by special act of the state legislature
whereby the people of this town would
be robbed of their right to vote on the
question the Press had nothing to say
against the outrage. The esteemed
Press is in no position to make kick.

p. eYRNEs. EDITOR AND PROPRIETOR,

The status of the consolidation
question this morning is, briefly stat
ed, as follows: r.. j. Downen has
through his attorneys, Waldron &
Devine, applied to the district court
for an injunction restraining any
and all further proceedings relating
to the holding of special election.
Judge Voorhees, yesterday granted
the request for change of venue,
and Judge Bailey of Canon City is
sitting in the case which is now GO
ing on, the court room being jam
med with an excited crowd of spec
tators. The hearing may last till
Monday. In case the injunction
sticks there will be no election not
withstanding the wild threats being
made by certain light-headed indi-
viduals that the election must go
ahead whether or no. Defendant is
represented by City Attorney Mich
Olas and Belts & Yates. The INDI-
GATOR believes that the injunction
will be granted on the plausible
ground that Alderman Valentine
usurped authority that belongs only
to he mayor when he issued the
election proclamation. Such II de-
cIsion would be right and may be
confidently expected.

THAT was very silly act of the
legislature to frame the law relating to
the REGISTRATION of women SO that they
are not required to tell their exact age,
it being sufficient for them to state that
they are over twenty-one years. What the
Legislators thought to be gallant act
is justly ridiculed by the sensible
women, and their so-called courtesy is
not at all appreciated. Women should
be obliged to tell their age the same rs
men if for nothing else than means of
Identification. Besides, women who
would take the trouble to vote would
not hesitate to give their age aud they
regard the act Of the legislature as re.
Election on their good sense.
