DAST.IRDLY WORK.
Tried to Wreck Electric Cars,

Bridgeport, July S.-Two heavy logs were placed on the tracks of the electric road between savin Rock and Wood mont last night and a car filled with people ran into them. No one was in- jured, but all were shaken up by the collision. The logs had been fastened by stake, so that when the car struck they would not slide along, but the force of the blow broke the stake. Prompt action of the motornran prevented dem age to the car. Malicious persons are evidently at work, as this is not the first time obstacles have been found on the track. Switches have also been turned so as to derail cars. There is no clue to the miscreants. The spot where the logs were found was in the woods,

THROUGH A BRIDGE
Seven Men Go Down to Death Unde "A
Train of Coal Cars.

Seven Men Go Down to Death Under "A
Train Of Goal Cars.
SPRINGFIELD, O., Aug. 12.-The Ohio
Southern railroad had one of the worst
wrecks in its history yesterday after
noon about $50 o'clock at Paint river,
forty miles south of here. At this point
there is a two-span bridge over the
river. A west-bound coal train of
thirty-five cars struck the bridge,
which has been considered perfectly
safe. The structure gave way in both
spans and the engine dropped twenty
five feet into the water below, which,
at this point is about thirty
feet deep. The coal cars followed the
engine until twenty had piled up in
the river. The remainder of the train
had by this time become checked and
remained on the track.
Engineer Clint Radcliffe. Fireman
Martin Houser and brakeman William
HincOx, who were all in the cab at the
time the bridge collapsed, went down
without a moments warning with the
iron monster and were drowned. They
are atpresent buried in the river under
about 400 tons of coat, They all lived
here. The remainder Of the train crew
escaped.
In connection with the sad catas--
trophe it is reported hat four tramps,
who were stealing a ride, went down
to death with the train. This can not.
be substantiated until the debris in
the river is examined, but seems to be.
only too true.
A wrecking train from here is now
on the scene doing what it can.
Late last evening it wa learned that.
the cause of the wreck was that the,
bridge had caught fire and had half
burned in W. at the time the engine
struck it. The three drowned men
who were in the cab, saw the smoke,
but thought nothing of it, conse-
quently no move was made to stop.
The body of the engineer has been
found pinned in the cab. but cannot
be released. All efforts to find the.
other unfortunate men have been un-
successful. 1t will probably be sew
eral days before they can be exhumeC.
The engineer and fireman were sim
gle, while the brakeman was married.
and leaves a wife and two children.

CINCINNATI. Aug. 1".-Early in 1894
a nan named Joseph Green died at
CORTLAND, near Sacramento, Cal.
Since then relatives and heirs, aided
by lawyers, have been busy unravel-
ing the secret of his life, and it has
been accomplished. 1t is a story that
cover many years and has ramifica-
tions in many states.
Joseph Green came west from New
York in 1850 with his wife and set
tied in Cincinnati. 1t was at the time
of the gold fever, and he made up his
mind to go to California. A short
time after his departure a daughter
was born, and with this child Mrs.
Green lived in this city, expecting to
hear from her husband and to receive
money to take herself and child to
California. But no word came to her,
Inc she did not hear of him again, ex-
cept n rumor that he was dead.
Years went by, and Mrs Green, who
thought herself a widow, was wooed
and wed by Matthew Wolmersmidt. a
contracting carpenter. By him she
had five children, two of which are
living. The second husband was abu-
sive, and after he was reported killed
by the collapse of a bridge which he
was building for the government
across 4 southern river in 1862. she,
fearing his return, resumed the name
of her former husband. ard the chill
dren by the second husband were SC
known.
Thirty ear passed and Wolmer-
smidt never returned. One of his sons
removed to northern Ohio, and is now
living at Yoder. and his mother lives
with him and is known as Mrs. John.
Green. The other Wolmersmidt boy
went west, and is known in Kansas
City, No, as John Green. The daugh-
ter, who was born oon after Joseph
Green left Cincinnati for California,
married W. II. Kennedy, and is, or
was, up to Il few months ago. living
in Falls City, Neb,. though in 1894 her
husband was engaged in some bust
ness in Seattle. Wash.
WHITTIER 0O>cDn ureen, AFTER ledV~

the whereabouts of his wife, and

estate of $3.50, 600 and a will in which
he bequeathed 5000 to his daughter,
Mrs. Kennedy, of whose marriage lie
had learned, though he supposed her
to be living in this city. 1t was the
attempt to locate her here and the
necessary inquiry that led to the dis
covery of the first lawful wife, Mrs.
Joseph Green, now of Yoder, o.
Lawyers went to work on the case;
the daughter was located at the
place named, and representatives OF
the estate were communicated with.
San Francisco lawyers took Il hand, in
connection with "a Cincinnati firm,
and a few weeks ago a compromise was
effected, which was satisfactory tC

kept a family secret, and which, SC

The Proposed Four-Day Transatlantic
m Service.

PHILADELPHIA, Aug. 12.-The proba-
bility of n four-day steamship service
to Europe ever being realized is not
given much consideration by the ship
builders in Philadelphia. 1t is ru-
mored that plans and designs for this
marine wonder are almost completed
in this city, but the work must have
been done with great secrecy. as no
body seems to know anything about it.
Charles H. Craig, president of the
Cramp Co, says that the four-day
steamship may be a possibility, but its
realization seems a long distance off.
