SIX CARS SMHSHED.

This morning at 4 o'clock asia T.
& P. freight train was pulling into
the yard from the south, and when
over the little branch known as the
Swampoodle Drainage Canal, the
yard engine whistled to it to look
out for danger and also gave it the
signal to back up and get out of
danger. The engineer stopped his
train as quick as an emergency
brake could do il, but before he
had time to back up a string of
some IL wild cars which had gotten
lose from the trainmen, came bear
ing down upon his engine and train.
He and his fireman jumped off just
before the cars struck the engine,
thereby saving themselves from be-
ing hurt.
Some six or eight cars we're de-
rallied and broken up, among them
an S. & L. Refrigerating car No.

The car in advance of the wild
cars was loaded with heavy bridge
timbers, which made it all the
worse for the engine. The other
cars we're empty with the exception
of one loaded with hay.
The passenger trains over the
road were delayed in getting in and
out for two or three hours on ac-
count of the wreck.
The roads here should build a
belt line and when such accidents
happen within the yard limits there
will be some way to get trains in
and out until the track can be re-
paired and the rubbish removed.

BRYAN REFUSES TO NIX UP IN
KENTUCKY FIGHT.
VIII Have No Advice to Offer When
he Attends the Democratic Ban
quet at Election of Blackburn.

Frankfort, KY, Jan. 1.-THE silver
Democrats who are opposing Goe5ei
claim to have direct information that
colonel Bryan does not approve of the
contests which are being prosecuted by
Goebel and other Democrats candi-
dates. They went so far today as 20
say tnat Mr.. Bryan had written a let
ter TO Mr.. Blackburn diso0uraging the
contests. National Committeeman
Urey Noodson who was in conference
with Mr.. Bryan in Chicago last sun
day, gave emphatic and positive de-
mails to these claims tonight He said:
I discussed the Kentucky political
situation with Mr.. Bryan thoroughly,
and i know there is no foundation for
these stories"
1t is said Mr.. Bryan feels that the
Democratic leaders in the state are
capable Of settling their own affairs,
and that he viii nave no advice to offer
then on the subject Of the contests
when he comes to attend the banquet
after Blaekburn's election next Tues
day.
The reported engagement Of Senator
GOebel and Miss COrinne Blackburn,
daughter CT Senator Blackburn, is au-
thoritatively denied.
Governor Taylor. through his attOr-
ney, Judge w. II. Yost, filed with the
contest committee a motion TO require
the Democratic members now serving
on the committee to vacate. The mo-
ton is supported by an affidavit charg-
ing that the names were fraudulentiy
drawn by the clerk, and the Demo-
cratic members now serving are al dis
qualified by reason of partiality for the
contestant, alleged evidence Of which
is mentioned specifically as to each.
1t refers to the rules of the commit
tee, which, he says. were so framed as
to exclude the greater part of his testl-
mOny, and charges in general terms
