Dennis Flynn appears to have sure
thing on that Okla hoina governorship.
But he has an ambition beyond that OF
being governor. Il is rather a curious
one. in that he desires to be the last
governor of Oklahoma Territory, and to
celebrate the close OF his term by having
that Territory become a young State. He
is likely to encounter some hard Shedding
in this latter ambition, even il he sue
ceeds In icing appointed governor. The
present Republican Senate is opposed to
admitting any OF the Territories, notwith-
standing the pledge written in the Re
publican platform in favor OF the adnds-
sion OF all of them. The fear of the
Republicans is that if Oklahoma Arizona
and New Mexico should come in at this
time the Senate would be controlled for
ever by the free silver men. Flynn fought
very hard from his first entry into Con-
gress for the admission of Oklahoma, and
did not cease in his efforts with his re-
tirement from the House. When the Fifty
third Congress passed the Arizona and
New Mexico bills he made desperate
struggle to get Oklahoma on the same
footing, but the then Speaker, MIR. Crisp.
regarded Oklahoma being at that time
nothing but a mushroom settlement, and
would not favor the young delegates am
bition.
Flynn is heavily indorsed by the resi-
dents of the Territory for governor, and
they are favoring him largely because OF
their confidence that he will be able to
pass the admission bill during the present
Congress.

momentum which could not be checked
by the brakes. In IL minutes the IL
miles between GallitZin and Altoona
was covered, and at the frightful speed
of a mile minute the runaway train
crashed into freight train standing in
the Altoona yard, directly in front OF

The wreckage piled up higher than
the top of the passenger station and
covered all the tracks. About 90 cars
were completely broken up, and the
Holliddysburg passenger train, which
was standing on the tracks outside the
passenger shed, was thrown over on its
size The engineer and fireman of the
runaway tram were helped from the
cab of the wrecked locomotive and both
were able to walk away. Their escape
was almost miraculous. Three other
trainmen were taken to the hospital.
