the air.
Judge w. E. Settle and the Hon.
Ben Johnson, who were billed to speak,
were greeted by an enthusiastic crowd,
which packed the court house. Mr..
Johnson spoke first. In his plain,
straightforward earnest way he told
the people what was being done TO
them by the trusts, combines and the
robber tariff. He made it very clear
that the great common people were be-
ing robbed right along, to pile up big
fortunes for the few money kings. He
said the only issue now before the peo-
pie was the tariff That the great Re-
publican party could no longer fool the
people on this question and the rank
and file of that party were breaking
away.
At the conclusion of Mr.. Johnson's
wholesome speech, Judge Settle was

INTERRUPTED
Was Traffic On The Henderson
Route Because Of Wash
outs And Floods.

Again the Louisville, Henderson 81
St. Louis railroad was a great sufferer
from the flood of water which fell for
forty eight hours ended last Thurs
day at noon, and again was the freight
and passenger traffic on this road in>
terrupted for two days, ending with
Friday night. This time the trouble
occurred again in the Narrows above
town and to the Lead Greek trestle be-
low town.
The trouble on the road began when,
on Wednesday a wash-out near Hen
derson delayed trains. The rains that
fell Wednesday night caused the inn
mense hill in the Narrows to slip, and
it is said that the dirt which came
down on the track in the early part of
the night not only stopped the west
bound cannon ball, but covered the
track and went on nearly to the water's
edge. 1t is claimed that ten times as
much dirt came down on this occasion
as there was when the big wreck oc-
CURED at the same place some eight
weeks ago. The work train with it's
immense steam shovel was called out
from Cloverport and put to work, and
by 11;00 O'Clock Thursday night train
was able to get into Hawesville from
above, but here it was again stopped
by the Lead Greek trestle.
At an early hour Friday morning the
pile-drive train was put to work on
this trestle, and workmen were of the
opinion that the bridge could be so
Strengthened up in ten or twelve hours
that trains could be taken over the
place. This trestle was in a wretched
condition. Five of the central bents,of
twelve iSSt each, was entirely washed
suspended in mid-air The track had
shifted at least two feet out of line, the
inclination being toward the river, and
in this span of sixty feet without sup
ports the steel had dropped several
inches. The great pile driver was put
to work replacing these supports. The
workmen claim that this trestle woald
have been destroyed in the great storm
and flood of July 27 had it not been fer
the stone county bridge which was only
a few feet away and between the
trestle and the river. This bridge, it
will be remembered, was destroyed
after having successfully withstood the
ravages of sixty years, and the last rain
of this week even crumbled away near
ly all of the remaining approaches.
uperintendent L. Irwin, OF the
Henderson Route, came down on
night and was here Friday
morning. To the Clarion man he
stated that concrete arches over Lead
Greek would be built in the near future,
which would obviate the character of
trouble they were now experie acing
there but that the unsettled condition
would not allow it to be done at this
time, Hancock Clarion.
