RAILROAD OFFICIALS

Becoming Impatient Over Delays at
Charleston.
Special TO the REGISTER
CHARLESTON, w. Va, August IT,
Railroad officials are becoming impa-
tient because of the delay in getting a
statement of the amounts assessed
against the several railroads in the
State for taxation 1t is stated by an
official at the capital that this state
ment will not be made for several
months vet, and it is said that state
ment of these assessments need not be
made before the first of January next.
One of the railroad officials was heard
to say to-day that he believed the Re-
publican leaders in West Virginia were
attempting to hold up the railroads
and keep them in suspense till after
the election that if the railroads
should manifest their friendship for the
Republican party in substantial way
during this campaign they would be
left off easy in the way of assessment,
but if they showed any friendliness to
the Democratic party in this fight, the
Board of Public Works would get even
with them when the assessments were
made. While the Board of Public
Works are probably not holding up the
assessments for political purposes, the
railroad people are certainly becoming
impressed with the belief, and are get
ting sensitive on the subject. They
say, it is important to the railroad
companies to know what their assess
ments will be as it may largely infiu-
ence their policy of extension or con-
traction of their business. Under
Democratic administrations the rail-
roads were assessed and statement
made of the assessments early in the
summer. This gave the railroads no
tice of the amount they would have to
pay in the January following, and en-
abled them to shape the policy of
their roads for the coming year &C
cordingly. Ex-Governor MacCorkle,
attorney for the Charleston, Clenden
min and Sutton railroad, said to the
Register to-day that it looked like
piece of small politics to hold up the
railroads in this manner.

4 SERIOUS WRECK
ON THE LAKE SHORE ROAD, NEAR
sANDuSKY YESTERDAY
MORNING.
No Lives Appear to Be Lost But Fire
Trninnken md n Number of Pas
aenxers Were Injured-The Details
OF the Incident.

SANDUSKY, o., August 17.-Lake
Shore train No. 3, west-bound, was
wrecked at Bay Bridge, near San
dusky. at / o'clock this morning. The
train left Cleveland at 1885 p. M, and
struck broken rail near Bay Bridge,
i've miles west of Sandusky. The en-
CINE and two mail cars passed over the
bridge safely. The next three cars,
consisting of two mail and combina-
ton car, went over the bridge into
Sandusky bay, in twenty feet OF water.
The rest OF the train left the track, but
did not go over the bridge, and be-
yond a severe shaking up and bad
scare, no one was injured in these
cars.
The three cars piled up in mass in
the water below, imprisoning the mail
clerks and the passengers in the COM
bination baggage and passenger coach.
Not life was lost, passengers and
employees climbing through windows
and doors, and being rescued from the
water with slight injuries. The cars
are sixty feet long and two of them
stood partially on end in the 20 feet of
water. Wreck trains were sent out at
once from Toledo and Sandusky Doc
tors were secured from Port Clinton and
Sandusky. They TOOK care of the
wounded, and were sent back home at
5 O'Clock in the morning.
The conductors report says every
one is accounted for None of those
injured will die. Not a person is
thought to have been seriously in
jured.
The broken rail was on the west
bound track, near the east end of the
Bay bridge. The bridge was unin-
jured, and traffic was delayed but
slightly.
Five trainmen were injured. They
are: Baggageman William Frawley,
of Cleveland, internally; Chief Clerk
j. G. Beck, of Goshen; AL Spalding,
of Adrian; T. r. Greening, of Austin,
near Chicago, and B. S. Wise, of Ches-
tertown.
Fourteen passengers were in the
combination car, of whom two, names
unknown, were cut by flying glass.
Their injuries were dressed before the
surgeons arrived.
At the time of the wreck the train
was running 35 miles an hour. Train
men rescued the fourteen imprisoned
passengers in the combination coach.
The mail clerks in the submerged car
were assisted by the employees of the
Portland Cement Works, located near
me bridge. The b-4dge on which the
wreck occurred is half mile long,
and but six feet above the water which
is from IA to 20 feet deep. a large
amount of mail is still in the water
Most OF the Lake Shore trains, this
morning, were obliged to so around
by the Norwalk division, but the
broken rail has been fixed and traffic
has been resumed on the Sandusky
branch.
The wrecked train was in charge OF
Engineer George L. Walters, of Cleve-
land, and Conductor Henry Vincent, of
Collingwood.
In addition to the cars that went
into the bay, two sleepers were de-
rallied, but no one in them were in
jured.
