WORTH IS FOR BENNETT.
HIS FRIENDS SAY THAT HE Is NOT LOOKING FOR
THE NOMINATION. FOR CONGRESSMAN

IN THE WITH DISTRICT.
The political friends OF ex-senator Worth empha.-
cay denied yesterday story which had been started

quietly working for the nomination for Congress
in the With District Charles c. Bennett Is the
representative OF the district and he is looking for
denomination. According to reports that have been
in circulation for two three days. the machine
men in the district will work ostensbly for Bennett
until the convention is held and then at the last
moment hold and agree TO cast their votes
for Mr.. Worth. This scheme was TO be carried ont
without Mr. Benefits knowledge and be

learning that the leader Of the opposing faction was
in reality the man they were fighting.
There's nothing In IT," said Sheriff Buttling yester-
day afternoon, when asked by Tribune reporter
about the story ITS a big fake! There's ground
for H. al all. Worth would not do a thing OF that
kind He has told Bennett, that he Is for him. and
when he tells he is for him he means H.
Mr. Worth does not want place in Congress or any,

Attempted Train Wreck.

CHICAGO, Aug. 1.-THE Alton
passenger train, leaving the Union
depot at 8 o'clock last night, ran
into a pile of ties midway between
Sag Bridge and Willow Springs,
fifteen miles from Chicago. The
train was heavily loaded, and was
running at speed of forty miles
an hour.
1t is suspected the ties were
placed on the track by train wreck
ers, who expected to ditch the
train and rob the passengers during
the confusion. The country is be-
ing searched by police and depu-
ties.
From Sag Bridge to Willow
Springs the road is straight, with
the exception of one slight curve
about midway between the sta
ton. 1t was at this curve the at
tempt to wreck the train was made
On either side of the roadway is a
heavy growth of trees and under.
brush. The spot is ideal for such
an attempt at train robbery.
The train did not leave the track
however, although the crash
frightened the passengers.

That Irish Land Bill,

LoNNoN, Aug. 1.-THE Daily
News (LiberaD, in an editorial on
the action of the house Of lords
yesterday, says: If the lords de-
bate on the Irish land bill yester.
day means no surrender, 1t means
nothing. The Tories have always
bolstered the lords as a necessity
of the British constitution. Lord
Salisbury has this bill, and there
fore, the lords have nothing more
to fear now, II their action kills
the bill, than they had when they
killed home rule. No tears would
be shed in Ireland over the with
drawal Of the land bill. For the
landlord peers to yield now would
be sheer cowardice.
