THAT ELECTRIC RoAD.-Now that 1t seems
as though some real sentiment exists favora-
bic to the building of an electric railroad via
Frederick City, Thurmont and Emmitsburg
tc Gettysburg and Washington City, on the
part of Frederick City people. Why not go
about it by somewhat more direct methods
than simple newspaper advocacy?
In our judgment the project is feasible and
it should be put into practical business shape
before the opening of Congress, now less than
three months distant. Congressional legisla-
ton authorizing the building OF such a road
in the District of Columbia and through the
Battlefield Reservation at Gettysburg ia an
absolute first essential, as 10 our certain
knowledge no such franchise is owned by
any company or individuals that could be
induced to build the road by the above route
We can give the names of parties who sue
ccedcd in getting such bill through the
House at the heel of the last regular session
Of Congress, but filled to get it before the
Senate prior to March 4Dh, hence it failed
and all Of this work must be done over again.
These people represented ample capital at
the time and so far rs We know still repre-.
sent it and are ready TO press the matter at
once upon the assembling Of Congress. 1t
viii be necessary then to have the matter in
such shape That our member of the House
and our two Senators may be convinced Of
the practicability Of the scheme and Of the
certainty that the granting of the franchise
will mean the building of the road. This
should be the condition Of affairs at the be.
gjnning Of Congress, for unless we misrcad
the signs Of the times there will be others
asking for the same privileges and they vii.
not be those who contemplate building the
road via Frederick, Thurmont and Emmts-
burg, Do some real work then and begin ii

A TRAIN DITCHED,
The Fast Flyer on the Kansas Pacific
 Plunges into Creek.
TWO TRAINMEN ARE KILLED
Five Passengers Probably Fatally Injured and Several Others Badly Hurt-A Bridge Being Washed Away the
 Cause of the Accident.
306 Mena Street.

DENVER, Col, Aug. 4.-The fas,
 flyer on the Kansas Pacific railroad was wrecked about daylight this morn. ing about 40 miles east of here and John A. Ward, engineer, of Denver, and W. B. Harrington, baggageman, of Kansas City, were killed, and the following badly injured: Oscar Ingram, fireman, bruised about the head and dazed; w. H. Rankin, Denver, badly cut about the head, arm broken; J. E.. Reid, back injured; Mrs. Fred Nash, Laramie, Wyo., back sprained; Mrs C.. E. Gravett, Blue Springs, Neb., right ankle broken; Mrs. S. c. Hubbard, Abi- lene, Kan, back hurt; w. H. Thorn ton, Chicago, arm sprained and bruised: l.. k. Eckerett, Seattle, Wash, head cut; Miss Minnie Edelmonn, bruises: c. Goddard, Leavenworth, Kan, back hurt.
 A heavy rain last night flooded the streams and carried out portion of 8 small bridge which spans Comanche creek between Byers and Strasburg. The train was on time and was run hing along at the usual speed when without warning the engine nlunged into the creek, followed by the mail and baggage car and other cars were piled about in confusion. The engine was completely under water iD almost the middle of the stream and En- gineer Ward was under it. The fire man escaped death, but was badly hurt. The most seriously injured pas sengers were riding in the forward car. Some of the sleeping passengers in the Pullman were thrown from their berths and more or less hurt, but none seriously.
 Byers, the nearest town to the wreck, was five miles away, and the conductor walked there, arriving at five o'clock, and the railway officials in Denver were notified of the accident by tele- graph. A special wrecking train with General Manager Deul and other rail- way officials and physicians on board started for the scene. Meantime all possible was being done for the wounded at the wreck.
 Engineer Ward was one of the best known locomotive drivers in the city. The rainstorm was general in the plains region, and it is feared that many railway bridges have gone out.
