A cotemporary quotes the editorial no.
tce from The Statesman on the death of
General Henry Il. McCulloch, but inter,
jects the remark that it is made sick by
such eulogies after death when it was
quite otherwise while he was alive. The
Statesman never wrote a line about Gen
eral McCulloch that did not show its ad-
miration for the man and its appreciation
of his services to his country. One of
the last interviews the editor Of The
Statesman had with General McCulloch
he thanked The Statesman for its univer-
sal courtesy and kind mention of him.

A CRIME.

Behind all this ruin, which happily IN
wolves the loss of no human life, turks a
graver suspicion of criminal intent on the
part of some one not connected with the
management of the road nor in it's employ.
Your correspondent, after viewing the
destruction wrought with such minute
ness of completion in every possible de-
tail, was impressed with the idea that
the responsibility, if any, should be at
tached and rested where it properly be-
longed. In justice to all concerned, he
believes it right that he should give The
Statesman and the public the benefit of
his Investigations
Seeking the place of derailment he
found this occurred at certain point
or intersection of two rails on the outer
line of the curve at the distance already
named from the bridge. This fact might
have been but q coincidence did not a
that the end of the forward rail was in
dented-a condition not common to rails
of this kind and not to be found on any
other rail in its mediate locality, nor on
the reverse end of this particular rail.
Taking a rail spike and inserting the long
part of the head in the open space of the
joint and the body of the spike forward
on top of the rail in the line of the train S
progression, he found the indentures in
the rail to correspond exactly with the
shape of the spikes head as it would have
been imprinted. His next thought was
to ascertain the speed Of the train at
about the time of the deralment. This,
according to eye witnesses, was about the
usual speed of trains passing this curve.
There is no better constructed and equip
ped road in the state, and continued con,
| fidence is due Superintendent Leltnaker
because Of the fact that it was only ten
days ago when he had his engineer here
and the Strengthening of this curve and
the raising of the road level. AN of this
will now be accomplished.

THE BRUSHY CREEK WRECK.
A Statesman Correspondent Thinks it
the Work of an EviDoer.

Cedar Park. Texas, March 21.-Mon-
day evening the southbound mixed train
| on the Austin and Northwestern, due to
arrive in Austin at p. m, passed here
with IS cars of granite and four cars of
merchandise and one combination passen-
ger coach. Five minutes later the entire
train with the exception of the coach lay
Il mass of ruins in the bed of Brushy
Creek.
The bridge was wooden structure
composing several spans and built after
the usual pattern and about % feet high.
The approach to it from the direction of
the moving train described n curve of 40
degrees 250 feet from the bridge, and on
this curve the front trucks of the engine
suddenly left the track No earthly pow
er could stay the momentum of the pom
derous force, and from this moment the
train was inevitably doomed, but not if
heroic efforts could save it. Engineer
Charles Enole reversed the steam and APP
piled the air brakes. Then who but him
ze the terror and wretched suspense as
they rode on amid the demon elements
of death.
The bridge was reached the engine still
showed onward by the force of the I'M
spent velocity of the thousands of tons
of granite behind began blowing up the
bridge timbers. This new force of OBJ
struction caused the breaking loose of
the derailed trucks and forced them back
against the driving wheels. The tremen-
dous force, still defiant, was bending and
bullying the massive steel rails like so
many writhing serpents. Then followed
the supreme moment of awful disaster
already reported in these columns.

wrecked. She escaped with only a.
slight flesh wound but was severely
shaken up; her baggage was a total

but only brief note, stating that
she was lucky to escape as we'll as
she did, and would write full particu

THE COUNTY FAIR.

Large List of Premiums--$7O 100
for Bicycle Races.

The. Mobiles County Fair which
takes place next Tuesday, Wednes-
day and Thursday, Sept. 24th, 25th
and 26th, promises to be the best fair
or gathering of the kind ever held in
this part of the state. The manage
ment have made a special effort to
secure attractions, and every part OF
the county is to be represented. In
quiries regarding space are coming in
by each mail and the association may
be compelled to provide more room
and accommodation for the exhibits.
OF course they have not time to put
up any more buildings in proper
shape but they are on the lookout to
provide temporary quarters for all ex-
hibits, that they are not able to ac-
comodate in the buildings now on the
grounds, so that will be provided for.
The races promise to be the best
ever held in Southwestern Minnesota.
Inquiries and entries are coming in
already and as the Adrian race meet
ing takes place this week there will
be a large string of horses from there.
The bicycle races will be the largest
and best ever seen in the state out
side of the twin cities. as all the crack
riders of the state expect to be pres
ent and contest for the prizes, which
are valued at about 500. The best
riders from Sioux City, LeMars, San
born, Sheldon, Sibley, Spirit Lake,
Emmetsburg, Iowa, and Sioux Falls,
S. D., will be here and take hand
in the sport. The race track is in
the best of shape, being as smooth
as floor, and it has been
leveled up and the turns graded so
that in will be in shape for fast time.
The only trouble that confronts the
management now is that they will
have hard work. to complete their pro-
gram each day, as they have too
many sports and races each day and
all of them promise to be. filled to
overfowing. ...~
The management have also secured
a full quota of judges for both bicy-
Gle and horse races so that every one
of them will be run in proper shape
and no Juggling or jockeying will be
tolerated in the least. ~. T.
The celebrated Ellsworth (Minn.,)
Brass Band will be on hand all
through the fair. This band is the
best musical organization in the coun-
ty or in this part of the state.

it is some satisfaction to think

we are much better off than those
who have poor crops and poor
prices too. A relative of Isaac
Milton from Grant county, Wis.

in Southern Wisconsin oats will
average about fifteen bushels per
acre. Probably most Of the farm

STRIKERS ARE QUIET.

Dispatches from Pocahontas state
that all is quiet there. About fifty
miners went to work yesterday morn
ing in the Southwest Virginia mines.
W. C. BulIitt, vice president of the
Norfolk and Western Railroad, has ar
rived at Pocahontas. He said he
thinks there is decided improvement
in the situation and commended Gov.
O'Ferrall- for the firm stand he had
taken in calling out the troops.
Adiutant General Holly, of the West
Virginia State militia, who represents
Governor McCorkle personally in the
Flat Top mining region, autographed
Yesterday evening that all was quiet,
and that there had been no trouble Of
any sort.
General Phillips. accompanied by
Major W. NJ. Evans, of his staff, left
Richmond for Pocahontas last night to
consult with Major simons. They will
be gone several days.
The expense of the present force is
considerable, something like 5000 q
day. and this is the reason, perhaps,
why more men have not been called
for. Major Simons and his staff went
out on horseback early yesterday
morning to visit all the outposts, and
thew also rode about the mountains,
viewing the Immediate surroundings,
to ascertain if any steps could be taken
to strengthen the position or increase
the precautions against trouble. There
were no special incidents in camp yes
terday. The soldiers have not been so
conspicuous on the streets, as those
who have been on duty were rest
ing from service. There has been but
little sickness, and only few slight &C.
oidants.

Terrific Gas Explosion.

CHICAGO, May 11.-By an explosion
of gas lis o'clock this morning in the
building No. 10 Sherman street, Is per-
sons were terribly burned, some of
whom will probably die. The lower
floor of the building was occupied as a
saloon, and the two upper floors as a
boarding house. The conclusion rock
ed the building from its foundation and
was so terrific that it was heard more
than quarter of mile distant. 1t is
supposed to have resulted from the &C
emulation of natural gas in the base
ment. There was heavy bolt oflight-
ming preceding the explosion and it
was the theory of some that this might
have been the cause of it. When the
rescuers reached the second floor they
found several men and women rushing
frantically along the hall, their bodies
bleeding and torn by the explosion.
Everybody in the building was in bed
when the explosion occurred and the
night clothing was burned off some Of
them.

Desperadoes Captured.

LANCASTER, Pa, May ia remark
able crime was committed at d o'clock
this morning seven miles from this
city. Aldus c. Miller, q farmer, and his
vile were attending market in this
city, leaving six attendants on the
place. Two boys who were feeding
the cattle were confronted in the sta.
BILE by two armed men, who bound them
hand and foot. The robbers proceed.
ed to the cow shed where three middle
aged women were milking. The wom-
en- were told at the point of pistols that
they would be shot, and the robbers
then tied them hand and foot, but of.
fered them no violence. The robbers
then visited tenant house, where they
secured VIM. F. Harry, binding and
gagging him. The desperadoes then
went to Mr. Mlller's residence, which
they ransacked for valuables, securing
a considerable amount. In the mean.
time one of the boys in the stable had
managed to release his bonds and noti-
fed neigbbor, half mile away. An
armed posse of half dozen soon ar.
rived at the house when the robbers
