BAD WRECK At
WILLIAMSBURG
c., C.. & L. Freight Train
Leaves the Rails There
Saturday.
TRAFFIC is TIED UP.
1T WAS NOT UNTIL ABOUT EIGHT
O'CLOCK LAST NIGHT THAT
THE ROAD WAS CLEARED
DAMAGE is HEAVY.

Williamsburg, Ind. June 2I.-By
the breaking of a fange on west
bound freight train passing through
here at 6:5S o'clock this morning,
disastrous wreck followed. Train SER
Cincinnati & Louisville railroad was
delayed The track for a distance of
coo feet was torn up. Rails were
twisted about like hairpins and ties
were chopped into splinters as the
wheels passed over them. Five box
cars were thrown off the track and
smashed into kindling wood. 1t was
necessary to transfer passengers and it
was not until 8 O'Clock this evening
that regular traffic was resumed. The
wreck did not result in injury to any
member of the train crew.
The train was whirling around the
long curve just east of town at a rap
id speed when the cars left the rails
The engineer did not notice the lurch
of the cars at once and it was some
time before he shut off steam and
stopped the train. The cars following
the one with the broken wheel bump
ed about in a strange manner, leap
ing into the air and zigZaggfng back
and forth across the tracks. Rails
were torn from the ties and bent into
the bottoms of the cars. Others were
thrust into the air and twisted into all
sorts of shapes. Four of the cars were
empty and the fifth was a double cap
acity gondola loaded with gravel 1t
was overturned.
Following the wreck word was sent
and in a short time force of men was
put to work repairing the track. 1t
was necessary to tear up the entire
section of damaged track. New ties
had to be inserted as many of the ties
were ground into pieces no larger than
splinters. Seldom have wrecks oc-
CURED which destroyed the ties in a
more complete manner. The fifty men
that were put to work had to restore
the grade before new ties could be laid
and prepared for the rails.
AS an odd coincident the gravel car
overturned right where the destruction
of the road bed was most thorough.
The gravel dumped on the ground
was used in restoring the grade
There was no other gravel at hand
and without that from the car re-
pairs would have been seriously ham,

COURT WILL DECIDE
FAMOUS ROAD CASE
May Sustain Commissioners
In His Decision.

. 1t is probable Judge Fox of the
Wayne circuit court will render his
opinion in the Washington township
road case next week. The Judge has
had the matter under advisement for
some time. Any protracted delay on
his part will interrupt any work being
done on the road this season, if he de-
cides in favor of the petitioners of the
road. The question was placed before
the court upon appeal from the county
commissioners court. 1t is anticipat-
ed the Judge will sustain the action of
the commissioners in dealing with the
road matter.

Announced.
AN AGREEMENT REACHEU.

4. That the Keith vaudeville people
will not build theater in Richmond

TO Manager o. G. Murray. OF the New

reached between Keith and Murray

booking for the vaudeville stage and
when they failed to come to terms
with the local vaudeville manager.
they threatened to invade Richmond
with a new theater and compete for
the patronage. Since that time. a
settlement has been reached and
Keith will get a certain percentage
from the booking receipts for the Muir

He Says in Regard to
The Manipulation of Affairs
Goes.
HIS CHOICE is CHOSEN
AS TEMPORARY CHAIRMAN
Theodore A. Bell of California,
Named, NotWithstandin 9
Threatened Revolt of the
Committee.

Denver, Col, June 27-William Jen-
nings Bryan is the democratic party
of the United States.
That is the official decree of the
subcommittee on arrangements that
met this afternoon to prepare for the
coming convention. The committee
selected without protest Bryan's man
for temporary chairman, Theodore A.
Bell, of California. The selection was
made not because the committee
wanted Bell, but because Mayor Dahl
man of Omaha, Bryan's intimate
friend, brought word that Bryan want
ed him. While six of the nine votes
in the subcommittee were pledged
ter a private caucus to give Bryan
what he wants.
Dahlman also brought word that
Congressman Henry Clayton, of Ala
bama, is Bryan's choice for perman-
gamble that Clayton will be selected.
Urey Woodson of Kentucky, was Sc
lected for general secretary; John l.
Martin, of Missouri, for sergeant-at-
arms; j. c. Fem, of Indiana. assist
field, of Kentucky, parliamentarian;
Eugene W. Sullivan, of Illinois. chief
doorkeeper and c. d. Caples of Ore
gon, official historian.
Reading clerks and the like are to
be named by Secretary Woodson. and
assistants sergeants-at arms, messen-
gers, etc, by Chairman Taggart.
All Were Surprised.
There were no more surprised peo-
pie in Denver than the members of the
/, subcommittee themselves at the selec-
tion of Bell to deliver the keynote ad-
dress for the fall campaign. They did
not know except by newspaper report
that Bryan wanted him until today
and they did not believe that the Ne
braskan, with his strong ideas for
temperance and his anti-saloon princi-
pies, could have chosen a Californian.
who is the official head of the Order
of Eagles, a so-called saloon order.
Within a half hour after Dahlman
arrived, however, the Sullivan-Tag-
CART combination not only knew that
Bryan asked for Bells appointment,
but demanded it. They even heard
officially that the Nebraskan had
| promised Bell the place and had con-
| ferred with Bell on the details of the
speech that is to be made
When they got that information the
combination went into a little caucus
and after talking the matter over de-
cided to give Bryan everything he
wants and put the responsibility for
everything upon him.
Dahlman was expected to bring the
sLincoln, Nebraska. platform with him
to Denver. as well as to name the tenn
! porary chairman. 1t is understood
that the platform will be sent on by
Mayor Brown. of Lincoln. who is the
Nebraska member of the committee
on resolutions. Virtually the platform
Bryan wants will be the Nebraska
platform with some additions Dahl.

o. G. w. WANTS FRANCHISE.

To induce the Terre Haute, Indian
apolis & Eastern Traction company
to use some street other than
North Twenty-third street for the pur-
pose of its freight line a petition is
being signed by residents of the east
ern portion of the city. The company
intends to start work on the Twenty
third street extension tomorrow. The
residents will attempt to enjoin the
company in this case II is under
stood that the railroad company will
not contest any injunction proceed
ings, and II such be undertaken the
freight line will be laid on North
Twenty-second street The North
Twentieth street proposition has been
abandoned upon the strength of a pc
tition circulated by Will Campbell and
others.
A few of the down town merchants
have refused to sign the remonstrance
against the use of North Twenty
third street stating that their sigma
lures might tend to harm their bust
ness interests. Promoters of the re-
chants did not hesitate to express
their views when it was proposed TO
permit the use of Main street for
freight service.
Deep Cut Is Necessary.
In order to make Twenty-third
street of practical use for trackage
service 1t will be necessary to make a
cut of six or seven feet through the
park. Such despoilation of the cfty's
park is not favored by the general pub
lie and there is no doubt that IL the re-
monstrators called upon others than
the residents of the East End to sign
the remonstrance they would find
the city council has refused TO permit
the street car company to place line
into the park for passenger service
alone, although there are many advo-
Gates of such a move. It is claimed
that such action would be incompara-
BILE to permitting the company to
make the proposed cut. thus practi-
cally removing one section from the
park. Twenty-third street intersects
the portion of the park made use of
for camping purposes at the chautau-
qua. To run a traction line through
