Nebraska Democrats
Quiet on Presidency

FREMONT, Neb., July 26.-The demo-
cratic state convention was very mild
affair in contrast with the advance no
tees. 1t was controlled from beginning
to end by a combination of leaders who
had decided that harmony should prevail
This was based on an insistence that
party victory would be impossible if any
row was permitted.
1t was acquiesced in by the represent
atives Of Bryan and Dahlman and other
leaders of the anti-Bryan faction a ter
each had been shown that neither pos
sessed sufficient following to get either
commentator or condemnation of Bryan
The Harmon men, who were mainly com
posed of anti-Bryan democrats, sought
for a time to secure an Endorsement, but
were ruled out by the leaders, who feared
this would bring about the trouble they
wished TO avoid.

the announcement Of the representatives

RAILROAD IS BLAMED
| FOR BRIDGEPORT WRECK
Coroner Finds 1t CriminaIIy
Negligent in Maintaining
Dangerous Cross Over.

BRIDGEPORT. Conn, July 2G-Coro-
ner Wilson filed his finding in the inquest
into the disaster July II. when the Fed
eral express left its tracks here and
fourteen persons were killed and forty
injured.
The coroner finds that the New York.
New Haven and Hartford Railroad Ccm-
pany was "criminally negligent in main
tanning an inherently dangerous and
short cross-over on fast express trunk
line tracks and in relying upon a rule
instead Of governing the use thereof
The coroner also holds that Arthur NJ
Curtis. engineer of the train. was him.
self criminally negligent in taking the
cross-over. at the point where the train
left the tracks. at high rate of speed
Coroner Wilson recommends that two
engineers be detailed to the cab Of every
fast express train, and gives it as his
opinion that such a precaution would
have prevented the accident Of July II.
OF Curtis himself the coroner says:
THE said Arthur NJ Curtis was Grim
inally negligent in operating his train
at such a high speed over this cross
over. but even 50. We're it not for the
dangerous constructor and layout of the
company. or had longer cross-over been
located there such a catastrophe would
not have happened
He then brings in his recommends
ton for two engineers, with this COM
ment:
There Is no question but that people
demand fast trains and high speed, but
1t is equally true that they demand and
are entitled to safety in travel and the
degree OF care incumbent upon railroad
companies to observe in running their
trains is more or less commensurate with
their speed.
Favors Two Engineers.
"AFain, it is common KNOWLEDGE that
human beirg Is not infallible and is
often affected by extreme weather, and
that at the time of the accident the
weather had been extremely oppressive
for several days. This fact should be
taken into consideration. and the chances
Of failure to observe sienals would be
Greatly minimized by two ENGINEERS in
the cab, with both required to observe
signals. This would apply particularly
to fast trains
That there was no real necessity for
the short GRO. s-Over was proved by
Roadmaster Devore's testimony. the cor
oner says. Devore testified hat longe r
cross-over meant greater safety, and was
just as easy for the train to take with
out 'osing time
This being known as a remedy for
all such danger" says the coroner. ''it
was not he exercise OF due. reason able
and proper care to allow rule to = IA
between afety and disaster. The result
of taking such cross-oyer at nigh speed
vas well known TO Curtis. but l do not
md that he did so WilffUlly.
Clifford n. Woodward. superintendent
of the Shore Line division. on which The
wreck occurred, very frankly sta ,es that
the company does not OBJECT to ensineers
making I'D time when speed restrictions
as 20 e:tain ioca. ions are not violated
SUPP. Woodward also admits that the
crew or fast train is no different from
that on any other train"

Several Buildings Burned.

Fire which broke out at Swansea
in Johnson & Lybrand's store about
half-past one o'clock on Thursday
morning threatened for a time to
wipe out the business section of the
town, and in half ar hour four or
five wooden buildings were destroyed.
At two o'clock the fire was practi-
eally gotten under control, but it. re-
Quired hard work on the part of the
fire fighters to save the hotel, which
seemed for a time doomen to de-
struction, together with DR.. Langs-

is unknown. Besides Johnson & Ly-
brands store, Redmond's grocery, a
beef market and store operated by
