D,.tr...ins Accident ..d Death.

A distressing accident occurred on the
line of the Rio Grande Western yester-
day morning, which cost a young man,
about the age Of twenty-five, his life.
The accident occurred on the other
side of the tunnel, about twenty miles
west OF this city. A train of cattle, the
property Of the we'll known cattleman Of
Delta, A. g. Botsford, was being brought
over the line of the Western, in charge
OF Conductor James Hynes. Botsford
and the young man who was killed,
Arthur Sears, had been to the front Of
the train looking after the welfare of the
stock and had started back, Botsford in
the front and the diseased man follow
ing. Botsford reached the cabooee in
safety and the first thing that the oocu-
pants of the caboose knew regarding
any accident was hearing the exclama-
ton OF the hind brakeman, who had
caught the body Of Sears just as it was
about to fall from tho roof of the ca
booee, the brakeman being in the cupulo.
The body was lying on the roof Of the
caboose, having fallen there after being
struck.
Conductor Hynes says he does not
know how the young man could have
been struck by the bridge, as it is much
higher than man standing on the cars.
He may have seen the bridge and think.
ing that it might strike him had started
to jump to the caboose and been hit,
but other than in that manner Mr..
Hynes cannot account for the death.
The young man lived short time, or
until the train reached Fruita. but his
head was so badly crushed that he died
in short time.
The deceased was brought to this city
and taken to Undertaken Bannisters.
Coroner Smith was notified and after
hearing some testimony decided that 1t
was unnecessary to hold an inquest.
The body was prepared for shipment
and sent west this morning to the home
Of the deceased at Minidoka, Idaho.

Plttsburph I.Iver News.

PITTSBURGH, Sept. l2.-There was
some excitement on the river front to-
day over the fact that the towboat Tor
ando, Captain william Stewart, would
leave for Cincinnati with tow Of eight
light barges Of coal, containing about
$4,000 bushels all told. Every riverman
discussed 1t, and seemed to look upon
the matter as great feat. James Jones
& Sons, the owners, lightened eight
barges, and It is thought that the boat
will get through. The Tornado several
months ago made "a similar trip, but
she had more water to go on. The
swell surprised some Of the rivermen.
The rise. which came principally out
Of the Youghlogheny. is all here.
The needles at the Davis Island dam
and the weir OF wickets next to Davis
island were lowered and the bear trap
was opened in order to lessen the strain
of the volume OF water on the dam
proper. Everything can pc placed IN
position, however. in short time. The
towboat Hawk this afternoon Will go TO
East Liverpool with a tow Of six flats,
and the Relief is scheduled to go to
New Cumberland with tow OF Hats.
The Maggie took three flats OF coal to
East Liverpool this morning. The total
shipment will not exceed 100000 bushels.
The reports Of the sinking of the Liz
zie Bay at Madison Sunday seem to
have been exaggerated. She struck a
rolling log and broke some timbers and
Immediately filled up with water. She
had been run on bar, however, and
was not submerged above her main
deck. No loss OF life or property re-
suited. The boat will be hauled out on
the Madison marine ways for a general
repairing. She was in need Of repairs.
