They Do Not Agree.

THE advocates of the unlimited coinage
of full legal tender silver do not agree
as to what will be the consequence of the
adoption by the United States of their IA
vorite measure. The more intelligent know
that it IS impossible by law to give silver
bullion or silver coin 10; sl value In the
United States. and therefore Mr.. Bryan.
who must be regarded as the official inter-
prefer of the free silver dogma. asserts
his belief that the unlimited coinage OF
legal tender silver by the United States
alone would increase the value of silver
bullion. which is to-day CT cents, 20 sl29.
and he asserts his belief that under I'M
limited coinage the silver dollar, contai ming
412k grains of standard silver. coined by
the authority of the United States, would
be of equal acceptability and value with
the dollar containing 25S grains of stand
ard gold in all the markets of the world

Letter from Cleveland.

Mr.. Bynum stated the purpose of the
meeting, concluding with the reading
of number of kilograms, notably the
one from President Cleveland This
was eagerly awaited by the crowd. 1t
had been the talk of the street and the
hotels all day. Its reading creG led the
greatest enthusiasm of the evening.
Almost as much enthusiasm was
aroused by the telegram from Secretary
Carlisle. President Cleveland's letter
was as follows:

ing that the evening accommodation

passengers, was nearly Cue, the child

frightened and plunging horse and then
around the curve; here she built a large

were successful, the train being stopped
within few feet OF the beacon. Had she

AFEAKFUL FALL
An Electric Car Went
Through a Bridge.
Passengers Dropped Over $50
Feet to the Water.
AT Least Two Persons Killed and
Many Injured.

CLEVELAND, o., Jan. 9Th e bridge across
Tinkers Creek few miles from this city. on
the Akron. Bedford & Cleveland Electric
Road. gave way beneath big electric motor
early this morning, and the car with its pas
sengers was precipitated TO the bottom, $50
feet or more 20 the water below. II is known
that at least two persons were killed outright
and pumber seriously injured.
Tho terrible accident occurred shortly after
o'clock. heavy mVtor car and coal car
plunged through the ~trestle over Tinkers
Creek, hurting large number of passengers
into the chasm beneath. Two men were in
stantly killed and number seriously injured.
When about half way across the trest.e, the
passengers felt a swaying motion, the next
moment the light steel structure collapsed,
and the ears with their human load went
with a crash to the creek below The acci-
dent occurred at a point a short distance
north Of Bedford township. The cause OF the
collapse Of the bridge is not known.
The dead:
WILLIAM YoUSG of Cuyahoga Fails. o., body
terribly mangled
LYMAN BAYMAKER. Canton. o, has wife
and family in the West.
The injured:
CHARLES GIEB, legs and arm broken. and
injured informally.
Special cars run from this city and
from Akron, carrying physicians, and all that
could be done for the injured was done by the
railroad company.
1t is generally believed now that tho cars
jumped the track. and that the car caused tho
iron orders of the bridge to snap.
Later reports show that there were no pas
sengers on the motor. and that only the crew,
consisting of three men. went down in the
wreck.
