mony to tho ravaGes Of the lood IN the
mountainous region above Austin.
In Addition to the LOSSES
here, the International & Great North
ern railroad and the Austin & North
western railroad, both entering this
city, have suffered severely, the first
named having a serious wreck by
reason OF the floods this morning.
The south-bound cannon ball train
from ST. Louis on the International &
Great Northern, due at a. M, was
wrecked at Mcneil, nine miles above
here, as result of washout. The
engine and cars plunged into culvert,
demolishing the engine, the mail, bag
gage car, two day coaches and one
sleeper. The cars left tho track and
rolled over on their sides in four feet
of water, but fortunately no lives were
list, nor were any of the passengers
badly hurt. This is attributable to the
fact that there was not many on the
train and it was running slowly at
the time, owing to the bad track.
The mail clerk, Oral Davis, OF San
Antonio, was seriously bruised, and
Engineer P. F. Maynham, of San An
tonic. and Fireman G. M. Stanley were
slightly injured. The Austin & North
western road operated no trains TO-
day. due to the fact that FIVE of their
bridges were washed away during the
night.

Calvin Trigg, of Bethel, small

aire, who left home last Sunday, pre-
tending to go to Maynard, has not
been seen since. The only clue is a
man answering his description at
Quincy Station, who boarded west
bound passenger train on the B. & O..
His family and friends now think that
his mind was deranged, and it has
been learned that he had about $500
with him. AS he had been talking
much of California of late, they think
he has probably gone to that State.
He has two brothers in Delaware coun-
ty, but they have not heard from him
or seen him.

and the carts proceeded singly 10 the
stairs. Some of the condemned men
walked up, but others had to be car
ried to the platform, where they were
seated and bound with their backs to
the. posts.
AS the executioner frightened the
screw rapidly the bodies twitched Tor
two or three minutes and then all was
over. The last body slipped from us
fastenings and fell to the floor an hour
after the execution. The other bodies
remained in position on the platform
for four hours.
Thousands of people, unmoved, view
ed the spectacle and heard the speeches
of three of the condemned men from
the platform, but they refused to hear
the speech of the executioner, who cool
ly paced the platform. The Pacheco
brothers kissed each other farewell just
before the execution.
The citizens of this place censure the
American authorities for permitting
the Spanish mode of execution, al
though they favored the death penalty
being inflicted
The crowds dispersed in an orderly
manner after the execution and the
business houses were reopened.

CHICAGO, April THE South Side
surface lines which were tied up last
night by a strike of power house en-
ployes furnished very uncertain trans
portation facilities to an army OF peu-

to-day. The cable lines ran smoothly
enough, but the electric lines were not
running at all early and later so
infrequently and with SO many delays
that patrons preferred to get out and
walk TO the elevated stations or to the
cable lines where possible.
The strike began last night when a
new order went into effect. 1t put
the work formerly done by three shifts
of men onto the shoulders of two
shifts. This heightened the days work

Political
Pointers.

The Pleasant Valley Republican Club
held meeting Friday evening, invit-
ing all candidates and were gratified
by hearty greeting from such men as
Nesbitt, Arbenz, Jansen and Ryan.
Jansen made a hot speech condemning
the action of the committee in adopt
ing the open ballot. He explained in
an able manner the faults of the open
ballot and the merits of the Australian
ballot, demonstrating to those present
the advantages of the Australian bal
lot, condemning the modified" form
adopted by the committee, calling the
attention of the voters to the fact that
fraud and corruption which now exists
is the stock in trade of the so-called
leaders and good political organizers
of Ohio county. He begged the voters
to stop in their mad rush and consider
his case.
Col. Ryan followed and spoke in Bit
ter terms against those who advocated
the open ballot, denouncing everything
and everybody who favored fraud and
corruption, recommending that the
party, ring leaders in particular, stop
and consider that the interests Of sew
enty million people were at stake and
refrain from their methods, schemes
and plumber and give the honest man
chance. At this point he was inter
rupted by Herman Arbenz, secretary Of
the meeting, who asked the question:
Who are you roofing for? What do
you mean? You have just two more
minutes to speak. Cut it short" Mr..
Ryan replied by saying that the secre-
tary was out of order and had no right
to interrupt the speaker, wh reupon he
started to leave the stage, BIZ was call
ed back by the chairman an, audience.
He closed his remarks by Rigging the
voters to turn the electric light on the
city building, asking that they support

Sir:-Since the object of the Fed
Grafton of Churches is to bring about
a movement for the publication of
local politics and an improvement in
the administration of affairs by the
municipal government, as is under
stood by the report of last nights
meeting in this mornings issue, and
as it is the intention of the committee
not to harass any one who desires to
do legitimate business, why will not
the leaders of our labor organizations
take up the cause and join forces with
the committee in bringing about the
desired result, by helping to elect citi-
zens to office who will give us an hon
est city government? 1t would be a
step in the right direction No class
would be more benefited than the la
boring element. | would suggest the
name of an honorable citizen for the
endorsement of the committee as a
candidate for the Mayoralty, one whom
the city of Wheeling would we'll be
proud of, gentleman whose integ-
rity of character and boldness of honest
expression made him dear to the
hearts of every laboring man in this
