Mississippi's Representatives.
The congressional contests in this
State are practically over-entirely
over in all districts except the Seventh,
and all the information received from
this district is to the effect that Hon.
Frank A. McLain will be nominated
at the primary to be held in that dis
trict on the 10th inst. Therefore it is
safe to say that the following will be
Mississippi's Representatives in the
58th Congress:

Second District-Thos. Spight.
Third District-Benj. G. HUMPHREYS.
Fourth District-W. S. Hill.
Fifth District-Adam Byrd.
Sixth District-E. J. Bowers.
Seventh District-F. A. McLain.
Eighth District--John Sharp Will
liams.
All of the above named gentlemen,
except Mr.. Spight, are under 80 years
of age, and are, comparatively speaking,
young men. Four of the number,
Messrs. Gambler, Spight, McLain and
Williams, are members of the present
Congress; while the others, Messrs.
HUMPHREYS, Hill, Byrd and Bowers, are
new men, but not new in public affairs.

Negro Killed.

Green Sweeny, colored, was killed
by Henry Smith, a young white farmer,
few miles northwest Of Brookhaven,
last Friday. From what can be learned
by The LEADER, Sweeny was farming
on Smiths place, and had refused to
pick his cotton, which was opening very
fast, or allow Smith to have it picked;
at the same time making threats as to
what he would do if he was inter.
fered with, and carrying a gun about
with him. This caused young Smith
to borrow Winchester from his
father, who lived in the same neigh.
borhood, and to consult with A. G.
Seavey, who was furnishing the place
about the advisability of putting
Sweeny under a peace bond. How.
ever, after this, Sweeny expressed a
willingness to go ahead and gather his
crop, and agreed that there should be
no further cause for complaint.
Still mistrusting the negro, some
what, Smith decided Friday morning
to return his fathers Winchester, al
the same time taking along with him
an old musket he had loaded with
small shot, and his wife. On the way
they had to pass along the road in
front of Sweeny's house, and when op.
posite, Sweeny called to Smith to come
to the gate. He did so, leaving the
Winchester with his wife in the road
while he approached the gate with the
musket. Just as he got to the gate in
few feet of Sweeny, the negro grabbed
up single barrel shot gun which he
had concealed near him, and with the
exclamation, "Now I've got you,'
fired at Smiths head. Smith barely
had time to throw up his hand and
dodge, when the negroes load took
away part of his hat and two shot
passed through his hand. Quickly re-
covering from his surprise, he fired or
the negro with his musket, as he
turned with his gun to retreat, and the
load grazed Sweeny's arm and breast
Smith then fastened back to where
he had left his wife, seized the Win
chester, and soon discovering the ne
gro partially concealed and apparent
ly reloading his gun, fired on him
with the Winchester and sent a fatal
shot through his head.
Later in the day Smith gave himself
up, and on Saturday had preliminary
trial before Justice J. o. Fairman and
was discharged, the killing being de-
cided justifable.

Concerning Railroads,

Railroads and the people should be
allies, and not enemies. Each is de-
pendent upon the other In a very
large measure. The railroads develop
the country, settle farms, cause mills
to be constructed; in fact, until it does
these things it has no local traffic.
Without the railroad the farmer and
the millman are at q disadvantage.
By pulling together each assists the
other. More railroads bring more
people; more people bring more mon
ey. Values increase, taxation is low
cred and prosperity smiles on all N.

the river. The other span was sunk en-
tirely and the piers left standing.
The wind which did the mischief was
preceded by rain and hail from the north,
accompanied by thunder and lightning.
Suddenly the wine shifted a little to the
south, and it was at this juncture that the
catastrophe occurred. One man claiming
to be an eyewitness declared the bridge
was struck by lightning and went down a
sheet Of fire. There has always been more
or less difference in opinion on this point.
1t was Mr.. Pearson's first impression that
lightning struck the bridge and that the
two spans were torn from their places COW
cred with flames.
Mr.. Parsons shanty, with him inside.
was caught under one end Of the bridge
and among some brush on the river bank.
He was cut about the face and for some
time was imprisoned within his narrow
cell. Realizing hat a Union Pacific train
was due to cross the bridge at $40, less
than two hours after the terrible accident.
the faithful Waterman became desperate
in his anxiety to get out OF his battered
shanty and make his way over the river
to give the alarm and keep the train from
plunging on the wrecked bridge into the
river with its human freight.
He finally succeeded in tearing his way
out Of the shanty. Fortunately a small
canoe was at hand. Into this he jumped and
soon rowed himself over to the Nebraska
Omaha daily bee., 1902-07-13

side OF the stream. Leaving his boat at
the bank of the river he ran as fast as
possible to the train dispatcher's office and
reached there barely in time to prevent a
more terrible disaster. The train was Just
ready to start for the river and might
have rushed across the bridge without the
destruction being noticed until 1t was too
late.
The loss of these two spans represented
a capital OF about $3.50, 900 or more, as the
bridge was built at a cost OF about 81, 0OO,-
600, and 1t was composed Of eleven spans
2,76O feet in length. Several months were
consumed in the work Of reparation. In
the meantime there was a heavy freight
and passenger blockade, as 1t was neces-
sary to carry both across the river at
Plattsmouth and Blair ferries. Tele-
graphic communications were cut of with
the east for some time and there were
other serious losses to Omaha and sur
rounding country.
The narration OF the bridge disaster
brings up two other serious accidents
which occurred at or near the same fatal
scene. On July 6, 1887, General Terry,
one OF the old-time steamboats, of the
Missouri, collided with a pier Of the bridge
and was sunk. Its remains are still in
the bosom Of the old stream. The boat
wa carrying about seventy soldiers from
Fort Keogh and had considerable cargo on,
but all the men escaped. During the fol-
