EAST LIVERPOOL, o., Nov. 2O.--A loco
motive was lnssoed hero on Wednesday.
While hosting the heavy steel beams for
the new bridge over the Ohio river large
heavy cable was allowed to slackGn SO
that it almost touched the rails. A freight
train came on the Pennsylvania down IL
very heavy grade. Bridge workmen tried
to raise the cable out of the way, but tho
locomotive struck the cable, carrying it
with the train about 600 feet. Telegraph
poles, signal towers and telegraph wires
were snapped off like pipe stems. The
travelling crane car on the new bridge
hung in the air from the steel cables. The
workmen saved themselves by hanging to
the drop lines. William Stevenson, of
Wellsvillc, fell from the bridge breaking
both legs, and will die.

RALEIGH, N c., Nov. 2O-Dr Curry, ex-
minister to Spain and trustee of the Pea
body and Slater funds, made an address
yesterday before the colored students of
Shaw university here, in which he used
this rather startling language:
81 don't believe much in the Idea Of
having the United States flag over our
schools. I'd like to know what the United
States government has done for our pub

that the flag should hang over them. 1t

IT is II deception and fraud to put tho
flag there. 1t is the stnte that gives you

could understand why the negro popula-

stead of becoming scattered all over the
Union. The northern men freed the
negro. Why is it the negro does not go
north, to be with his friends, instead OF
staying in the south among his enemy"

COTTON COMPRESS COLLAPSES
Thirty People Precipitated with the Mass,
and Some May be Killed.


r.. MACON, Ga, Nov. 20.-Thirty people,
10000 bales of cotton and hundreds Of
tons of heavy timber all went down In
one loud crash at 7 80 o'clock last night at
the Central Railroad compress in this city.
Fourteen injured people, all employees Of
the compress, have been removed from tho
wreckage, but it is thought others are be-
meath the cotton and lumber,and if SO
they are dead, or will be before they can
be extricatcd
Superintendent A. A. Gordon was in
the middle of the platform superintend-
ing the trucking Of cotton and went down
with the crash, but by miraculous es.
cape received only bruises on the legs and
arms Several employees are missing, and
1T is feared they are beneath the wreck
The platform Wps 20 feet high. 35 feet
long and l4O feet wide. Over 800 feet gave
way without warning, the supports being
rotten.
1t is believed that two teams and their
drivers were caught beneath tho platform,
as it extended over Poplar street, public
thoroughfare, and the teams are said to
have been seen going under the platform
just before it fell. So great was the noise
made by the falling platform that it was
heard distance of u mile, and many peo-
plo in the neighborhood were badly fright
ened, All of the injured were taken to
their homes and to the hospitals and given
attention by surgeons, who pronounced
the injuries of some of them perhaps fatal.
The wrecked platform covers several
acres of ground, and presents an appall-
ing sight. 1t will cost several thousand
dollars to replace it. The hunt for the
dead bodies supposed to he buried beneath
the wreckage was begun this forenoon.
