FUSION SEEMS PROBABLE
Nebraska Democrats and Populists
Hold Their State Conventions
at Lincoln Today.

Lincoln, Neb., Aug. H-Prospects seem
good for fusion between Democrats and
POpulists, both of whom hold their state
conventions here tomorrow. The con-
VentiOnS meet simultaneously, but in diff
ferent buildings, and if fusion is brought
about ii will be through the medium of
conference committees. Sole interest CEN
tiers in the nomination for governor.
George W. Berg of Lincoln has no OppO-
sition in the Populist convention, and will
probably be named by reclamation.
Among the Democrats it is Berg against
the field. with the opposition apparent
ly unable to unite on man. Democratic
opposition to Berg is on the ground that
he is Popuist and not Democrat, and
If there is a split between the two par
ties it will be over the head of the tick
eft. 1t is a foregone conclusion that the
Democrats will give the heartiest en-
dorsement of Bryan as a presidential
nominee and 1t is possible the Populists
may declare for him. The Socialists will
also hold their state convention tOmOr-

Government Inquiry Into the
Ice Business at Toledo Brings
Out Damaging Facts.

Toledo, Aug. 1.-THE government in
quiry into the relations between the
railroads entering Toledo and the ice
companies shipping over these lines
began today. Joseph A. Miller, man
ager of the Toledo Ice & Coal company,
and one of the men sentenced to the
workhouse for conspiracy in restraint
Of trade testified that previous to five
years ago, when he became manager of
the ice company, he was purchasing
agent for the Ann Arbor railroad. But
while agent of the road he sold ice for
the ice company and was paid by the
road. and that Wellington r. Burt,
president of the Ann Arbor road, and
Harry Ashley, general manager, were
directors of the ice company and that
practically all the stock in the COM
pany was owned by the railroad people.
No Rent and Free Rides.
The office of the ice company, he
said, is located on Ann Arbor railroad
property, and that no rent was paid
The 100 or 125 men sent each year by
the ice company to cut ice were car
ried free by the Ann Arbor road until
1904, when a fat rate was charged.
Miller testified that as manager of the
ice company he Travelled over the road
on an annual pass.
w. A. Bradley, superintendent of the
Ann ArbOr railroad, and a stakeholder
in the Toledo Ice & Coal company,
when asked by Commissioner Clements
how he could justify the acts of his
road in giving favors to one ice COM
pany and withholding them from an
other, frankly answered that such acts
could not be justified, but that he had
nothing to do with the arrangements
Luther Walton, attorney of the COM
mission, stated that those who testified
for the government would be immune
from punishment, but If convictions
followed the corporations they repre-
scented would be punished.
Justifies His Conduct.
The most important witness of the aft
ernoor session was Wellington R. Burt,
once receiver and president of the Ann
Arbor railroad. Mr.. Burr said he knew
the Toledo Ice & Commercial company
was using the railroad real estate as
other companies which produce freight.
In regard to free or reduced freight
rates for the ice company, Mr.. Burt said
it is the custom to haul freight at half
rates for building up industries.
When asked by Commissioner Glenn
ments if he did not think 1t bad policy
for an official of a railroad to be inter-
ested in industries along the line and thus
be in position to discriminate in rates.
Mr. Burt replied that IL he had ii to do
over again he would do exactly as he did
in order to build up the business OF his
road.
Employees of the Ann Arbor testified
that supplies and men were carried over
the road free of charge for the Toledo
Ice & Coal company.

BRIGHTON STAGE
IS Overturned
Melvin Grant Suffers Fractured
Thigh and Several Others
Are Bruised.
WOMEN ESCAPE BAD INJURY
TONGUE BREAKS AS WHEEL
STRIKES ROCK.

The stage running between Brighton
and Salt Lake was overturned yester-
day near the Maxfeld mine, and Mel
vim Grant. Ia years old, better known
as Mickey Grant, suffered a simple
fracture of his left thigh. A number
or other passengers were injured, but
none of them seriously.
The stage was loaded with passen-
gers, there being twelve in addition to
the driver, and the boy, who occupied
the drivers box.
At point one mile below the Max
held mine, in Big Cottonwood canyon,
the front wheels of the vehicle struck
a rock in the road. The wheels skid
ded to the side and the stage tongue
was snapped off close to the double
trees like piece of dead willow.
The tugs of the harness, still at
tached to the doubletrees, prevented
the horses from freeing themselves, and
the stage lurched over on it's side,
dragging the wheel horses with it, The
lead horses were not thrown.
Young Grant was thrown to the
ground with great force. and one of
the wheels passed over his thigh,
fracturing it just below the joint.
Women Slightly Hurt.
The passengers, of whom seven were
women, were thrown TO the sides of
the stage and to the ground as the We
hicle went over. and though nearly all
of them suffered slight bruises, none
was seriously in injured.
The stage was being driven by
George Granter of Granter & Davis,
Murray, propric.ors of the Murray
stables. He is considered an excep-
tiOrally careful driver. The stage
which was overturned was a new one
and had been used for but four trips
prior to the one on which the accident
occurred.
As SOON as the passengers We're able
to free themselves from the wreckage
those who were less seriously bruised
gave their attention to those who
seemed to be suffering. The Grant boy
was placed on the cushions of the stage
and was made as comfortable as pos
sible until he could be removed TO
Murray, where he was token to the
Murray hospital and the fractured bone
was set by DR.. Bird.
All Of those who were bruised and
shaken up were given medical atten-
wrists, wrenched muscles and few
the injuries suffered By the passen-
gers.
Blanes Flaw in Tongue.
George Granter, the driver, who re-
manned on his seat until the stage
struck the ground, says that it was the
fault of the poor material used in the
tongue of the vehicle that caused the
accident.
The stage was new one, which had
been used but four trips" he said. THE
rock that we struck was not a large
one, and we were not going sufficiently
fast to have caused an accident if the
tongue had not snapped.
1T was fortunate that no one was
seriously injured. / feared when the
crash came that some one would be
killed, as the coach was full. There
were five women, two children and
seven men in the stage, and crowded
as Ii was, it seems strange that some
were not badly hurt"

New Railroad From Chicago to
New York by Way of
PittSburg Planned.

Pittsburg. Aug. 14-Papers of con-
soiidation of three railroads in these
parts or pennsylvania will be filed at
Harrisburg this week, which will con-
stitute the formal announcement of a
project OF prominent foreign bankers.
associated with Joseph Ramsey, ir..
former president of the Wabash rail-
road, to build low grade double track
railroad from New York to Chicago by
way of Pittsburg, which will cost about
$3.50, COO, 900. Complete SURVEYS have al
ready been made, and it is expected
that work preliminary to actual grad
ing ana construction next spring will
begin this fall. 1t is expected that the
road will require three years to con-
struct. 1t is contemplated to operate
with electric locomotives from the be-
ginning.
The Shortest Route.
1t will be known as the New York.
Pittsburg & Chicago Air Line and will
be seventy-six miles shorter to New
York than the Pennsylvania. and los
miles shorter than the shortest line be-
tween New York and Chicago.
The new keystone all line will trav-
erse the important bituminous coal
fields of central Pennsylvania, now
controlled by the Pennsylvania rail-
road, and will also pierce the anthracite
region throughout its length. 1t will
not only be the shortest line through
Pennsylvania, but it will cross the
summit of Allegheny mountains 400
feet lower than the Pennsylvania and
will have very easy curves and re-
markably low grades for a mountain
line.
Confirmed by Ramsey.
Mr.. Ramsey confirms the above in a
telegram from New York to the Pitts
burg Dispatch. The telegram says the
information is correct. The cost of the
line between Pittsburg and New York,
Mr. Ramsey says, is estimated to be
between SIS, 900, 900 and 500, 000. 0O0 all
of which has been pledged, the bulk of
it by foreign capitalists.
The merger papers TO be filed this
week will provide for the consolidation
Of the Indiana, Clearfield & Eastern;
the Allentown, Tamaqua & Ashland,
and the Brush Creek & Crows Run rail-
roads.

Co-opera ton and support in extermi-
mating the Pulajanes. The outlaw band

Like other meetings during the con-
gress, the attendance was very large
and the hundreds of teachers followed
carefully the remarks Of all the speak
ers.
Rev. Mr., Long, in dealing with Ma
lures Message to Moral Educators,
said that man seems to be the only
creature who is immoral He claimed,
however, that the child was born a
moral animal. He said that education
is the leading out into the light, and
not the packing in. He dlsclaimed the
belief in the doctrine that AL living
things had to fight for existence, and
cited many instances where animals
had dwelt peaceably together, notably
the wolves.
He admitted that much depended up
on the food supply, and said that this
applied to man as well as beast The
beastliness of nature in man was shown
in personal uncIeanliness, the envy and
greed aroused by the setting up of
wealth against poverty, gluttony and
| drunkenness and sexual vice. He said
that none of these was found IN the
animal kingdom, except in men and
monkeys. Animal instincts are good
and pure, and mans immortality IS mis-
own invention. He decried the strug-
gle for individGalism, and said that The
message Of nature was mutual coop
Grafton and common brotherhood.
