tice of two proposed amendments to
the rules of the senate of radical ma
ture. The most important was, accord

bate"
1t provides that when any bill or res

Bad Accident on the Evansville
and Terre Haute - Might
Have Been Worse.
Engine and Baggage Cars Sub
merged and the Smoker Hung
Over q Bank.
Official Reports Say Five Were
Killed, Including Three
Passengers.

EVANSVILLE. Ind, March 1.-THE
most disastrous wreck that has ever oc-
Cured on the Evansville and Terre
Haute railroad occurred between II
and / a. m, as the train known as the
midnight cannon ball, from Chicago,
was coming south over the road. The
recent rains have had terrible effect
on the roadbed, and the entire force
of the road has been directed since last
Friday in getting the road in shape for
travel. 1t was pronounced safe and
train service was resumed. All trains
had orders to proceed cautiously on
slow time, for safety. and the train
that was wrecked was coming on under
these orders. At point three q aarters
of mile north Of H&zleton, where the
roadbed is built on an embankment,
the embankment suddenly gave way
and the engine, baggage car and part
of the smoker went down.
Fifteen Ias.engers Reported Killed.
The engine turned over, but the
baggage car remained upright. The
smoker hung over the abyss. Engineer
McCutcheon escaped death, but his
fireman, Joe Boleman, was killed.
Conductor George Sears of Terre
Haute, who was in the smoker, was
also killed. 1t is reported that there
were 10 passengers in the smoker. All
of these were killed. 1t is impossible
to get their names as they are still in
the wreck. Shortly after the train
went down the crevasse spread, and it
is now 100 feet wide. The baggage car
and smoker, which contains the i'll.
fated passengers, have tioated off into
the field. Where the accident occurred
there is long stretch of e.nbankment
upon which the track is laid. This i.
surrounded by back water from White
river, 1t is supposed that ground hogs
had burrowed under the embankmeE
to get away from the food, and that
the water followed, making the acci
dent possible.

A woman who has aroused mach sympathy
is Mrs Mary Ranshoe, a Hungarian whose
name has appeared in the newspapers fre-
quently during the past few weeks on account
of her troubles with her husband, who re-
sides and works at VIM. Penn Within a
short time the woman has had her husband
arrested four times on charges Of assault and
battery and, although he in one or two in
stances beat her until her body was almost
entirely covered with bruises, she consented
to withdraw the suit and return to him
Last night the woman appeared before
Justice Cardin and stated that she had over
heard her husband make a statement that
he had killed her brother, who resides at Nc
Adoo The woman wanted the Justice to
cause the husbands arrest and then telegraph
to McAdoo and learn if the brother was dead.
The manner and speech of the woman con-
WINGED the Justice that i'll treatment has at
last caused her mind to give way and no
steps we're taken on her complaint.

pertinent question for every voter of the
Citizens party to ask himself on the eve of
the election, is: What will gain by voting
against the Citizens candidates. In local cleo
tions, when national and state lines are OBJ
liberated or should be, it is the duty of the
voter to compare the qualifications of one
candidate with that Of the other, and cast
his vote for that one which is best quail
fed for the position sought. This is essential
to secure good local government

1 must congratulate the Citizens candidates
upon one thing, and that is the manner in
which they have conducted themselves dur
ing the campaign, This is as it should be.
There is no good reason why the local fights
should be made as bitter as some in the past.
1t is true the Citizens candidates have per-
formed some active work, and it will show
itself in the result tomorrow night. The
charge has been made by the Democratic
organ, and reiterated, that the Citizens have
conducteda 'dark-lantern" campaign; simply
because our Democratic friends do not know
what their opponents are doing. The political
moves on the chess-board. so far as the
Citizens are concerned, have not been
healded from the mountain tops, and as
result the enemy is at a loss to know the true
situation.

they would turn in for the entire Democratic
ticket. My advice to the Lithuanian, Polish

from that source with grain of salt. They
were promised three positions on the Demo-
