DEAD.
Three Railroad Men Are Badly
Wounded.

A terrible accident occurred on the
Omaha road at Window at IL 80 O'Clock
last night, resulting in the death of
four men, the wounding of another,
and the complete destruction of three
engines and an entire freight train,
with all of the merchandise which it was
transporting, The property loss alone
is estimated at 100000, not to mention
the delay in traffic.
A through freight train, consisting of
two engines, twenty-five cars and ca
boose, crashed into the rear of special
freight train that was standing on the
bridge oyer the Little Des Moines river
just on the eastern outskirts of the
town, and bridge and train crashed down
into the river. The through train
was west bound with orders not to sop
at Window and was proceeding'at full
speed, thirty or forty miles.an hour.
Conductor Leviolet's instructions are
said to haYe been that ,the track was
open, and he had no thought of danger.
The special freight train was in
charge of Conductor Williams, and it
is said that the station agent handed
him instructions to the effect that he
was to go upon a sidetrack until after
the through train had passed. 1t is said
that he did go upon the sidetrack, but
subsequently pulled out upon the main
track to take water. Attached to the
rear of his train was push engine to
help the train up the grade out of
the town. This push engine and the
caboose in front of it were on the bridge
and the freight cars were on the grade.
Suddenly the through train came
roaring along and almost without
warning crashed into the push engine.
The awful shock caused the bridge to
give way, and the entire through train
and the push engine and caboose of the
special were hurled into a great mass of
debris To add to the horror of the
affair the

POTATOES CONTINUE HIGH.

Potatoes are bringing thirty cents a
bushel at present, and local grocer re-
marked today that the price is not apt
ITO go any lower. as there is a short crop
in this vicinity. While there is such a
big crop everywhere else that few ship
ments are likely to be made from here,
the local trade is expected to handle the
entire crop of this section. The acreage
planted was not large, and as the crop
is poor. potatoes will probably con-
tinue to command good price in Man
kato.

ERECTION DELAYED
Land Yet to be Coded For Admission Gov
eminent Building.

Admission, April .-(Special.)-The erec-
ton Of Anniston's $4,000 federal building
has been removed a considerable distance
into the dim and misty future.
, William A. Davis of this city, who was
in Washington few days since, made in
quiries as to when work on the building
would begin, and was informed by the SUI
pervisng architect and later by the at
torney general by wire that no further
steps would be taken towards the erection
of the building until the state of Alabama
had arranged to cede to the United States
complete and exclusive jurisdiction over
such site as should be selected, this being
required by the United States before gov
eminent buildings are erected.
This opinion was rendered before Gov
ernor Johnston issued his call for an extra
session of the legislature, and he was re-
quested to incorporate in his call pro-
vision empowering that body to consider
the question and take the desired action.
He refused, however, giving as his reason
that to grant this request would open the
flood gates for a sluice of other local leg
islation which might obscure the. real OBJ
ject for which he desired the special ses-
sion- AS result. the erection of the gov
eminent building will possibly be delayed
until the general assembly at it's next reg
ular session, nearly two years hence. can
take the desired action

The Boston Festival orchestra, of which
Emil Mollenhauer is the conductor, will
make its second appearance In Btrmins-
ham upon this occasion, This admirable
organization which has done SO much to
elevate the taste for orchestral music in
New England, was established by its pres
ent manager, Mr.. George w. Stewart, Jr.,
who realizing want long felt by choral
societies for a competent orchestra for mu-
steal festivals and such like occasions, in
1881 undertook the task of bringing together
body of players TO be selected individu-
ally for their artistic capabilities and con-
scientious devotion to their profession.
That his highest expectations have been
greatly exceeded is evident by the rapid
growth of the Organization and the pace
It now occupies as one of the most Inn
Portant musical institutions of the United
States.
Its thorough familiarity with oratorio and
choral work of every description, Its ready
adaptability to methods of different con-
ductors, its discreet and subdued manner
of accompanying voices, and, above all, the
earnest desire pervading the entire or
chestra to accomplish the best possible re-
suits have won the highest praise of con-
ductors and societies throughout the entiIe
country, while under its own gifted con-
ductor Emil Mollenhauer, it's performance
are fully up to the highest standard of the

Benjamin Guckenburger, the director, has

magnitude announced for May ard

few equals and no superiors in the United
