Several witnesses to the shooting, together with Cook and Dr. Pullign of Potomac, who has been attending the wounded man, were in attendance.

THE EVENING STAR: WASHINGTON, D. 0. TUESDAY. JULY THE OMAHA BRIDGE DECISION. History of the Case and Terms of the Con- tract, As stated in yesterday's Stan Judge Brewer lias decided the famous bridge case ngainst the Union Pacific and in favor of the Rock island aud Milwaukee roads. After reciting the main points in the contest the court viewed the building ‘of the line from South Omaha to Beatrice by the Rock Island, the attempt of the intter to use the tracks of the Union Pacific in accordance with the terms of the contract and the history of the case. Four questions were presented and argued. They are: 1. Was the instrument as thus signed and | attested so anthorized and execated as to be- come a contract of tl 2, [fit was so authorized and executed was it ultra vire? 3. If not ultra vires is it a contract of which ® conrt of equity may compel specific perform- ances? 4. Ir it may, ought specific performance be | decree? Keexarding the first question the court says: | The in was signed and signed by the proper ofticers, approved, duly authorized and | was binding. On the second point the court heli: That the contract would not operate at prerent to disable the Pacific from drcharging its duties, while the Rock Island was let into possession and use the Pacific was not put out ‘of possession and use. The Pacific remained in uncisturbed posession of its track, could | operate all sts trains and discharge all the duties | itowed. ‘The power to make such laws was bestowed by the act of incorporation | upou the stockholders at the regular meetings. ‘The eoutract was approved by all the stock- holders present, being two-thirds of the entire number. Under these circumstances, if the contract was one, which corporation could make it, the government or the public? It was vot compelled by its obligations to the govern- ment to hold its track and property berond the use of any other corporation. To the con- eution that the terms of the contract was for | ety-nine yearsand that before it expired te rowiug business of the Union Pacitic LI demand the entire possession and ure of ell its tracks and facilities, and that the length of the terms made that void which might have beeu valid for a few years, the court stated, that no one could foresee the futare. sanxed condition of affairs twenty years mid make the full use of its tracks necessary tu the Pacific, the powers of a court ot equity would be equal to the emergency. Furthermore the government was not pre- yeuted by the contract from stepping m at any rits rights are abused and com- peiling the Pacitle to fully discharge ite duties. either could it be «cid the contract was beyond the power of the Pucitic to grant. This con- tract was simply one ta convert into money the surplus use of a part of its property. In conclusion the court held that neither of the objections were well taken and that the contract was not ultra vires. to the siblican Valley road the Union Vacitic road owned sub- stock of the former and a company, the result for the partial ase of its property, shall be paid directly to the stockholders, was surely beyond the powers of the corporation. TRE RAILROAD SITUATION. The judge entered into a general discussion of the railroad situation. The court stated that there Was in the case a public interest deserving of protection. The testimony dis- closed that before the contract was entered sock Island had determined to build a court said th into the bridge across the Missouri river at Omaha and fill the gap between Couneil Bluifsand Beatrice | by its own line. In conjunetion with the Chicago, Milwaukee and St. Paul Company it had secured a charter from Congress and negotiations were pending to secure the capi- tal, 52,009,000 or 23,000,000, necessary for the doing of the work. ‘At this point the officers of Pacitic sought theve of te itock Island and prevented the building of the bridge by means of the contract now in question. The court held that this was a case in which and # contract of which a court of equity may decree specific performance. ‘On the question of compensation the court said that it wax not unreasonable to hold that $45,000, the sum fixed in the contract, was en- tirely adequate. in closing the court suid the defendant sought the contruct. ite executive officers were gentlemen of long experience With the property and distinguished ability as railroad officials. There was no concealment or deception, no fraud or unfairnesson the part Of the oiticers of the piaintiff.

Fuller Details of the Railway Disaster Near Paris, The majority of the victims of the Ste. Mande ilway disaster near Paris Sunday were | women and children. The wrecked carriages consisted of one first-class, two second-class and a guards’ van. The first wag completely shattéred. The work of reseus progressed slowly during the night until dawn. Poople then began to flock to the seene by thousands, many seeking friends who had not returned from the fete by daybreak. There were 20,000 persons around the station, and the school room and town hall, where the bodies of the dead were lying, were besieged by distracted people. Inside there was s constant succession ot hres pear, fu asin the dim light af- forded by the lamps the identification of the charred and mangled bodies proceeded. Aman searching for missing relatives sud- denly came upon the bodies of his wife and pamicheg? His cries attracted mtn ge law, who in turn recognized a gran‘ ving dead and learued that his wife and his moter were in @ hospital dying. A man who foro long time had been rashing about half de- mented seeking his family stopped a litter room and {ound that it ‘harred bedies of his wife and baby, the latter being only a few months old. Five of this man’s children were on the train and only one was rescued living. The bodies of the others were picked from the debris. Most of the bodies in the town hall were scorched beyond recognition. ‘They owe their identification to some special mark. ‘Ihe fire that broke out after the accident was fiercest in the first-class carriage, from which twelve bodios have been recovered so badly charred that identification is imposmble. Among the injured sent to the hospital a number died immediately after admission and many are expected to succumb. ‘he earliest workers to go to the rescue were the fire brigade of Vincennes and the soldiers in the barracks in the vicinity. These worked without cessation until 9 o'clock, when the line was cleared. CAUSE OF THE DISASTER. An inquiry into the cause of the accident shows that the second train left Vincennes at the regulation interval of fiye minutes after the first train. ‘The latter train was delayed at Ste. Mande, owing to an enormous crowd of excursioniste. The station master at Vincennes blames the driver of the second tram for the accident. When this train was starting the station master advised the driver to go slowly, ay there was a train in front of him, but the mun paid no heed to the advice’ and wéut siead ut full speed. ‘This driver at first alleged that all the signals indicated that the line was clear, but an in- quiry confirms the report of the olticials at St. Mande anf Vincennes that danger signals were shown. The driver now asserts that he has been the victim of an act of revenge on the part of some one, who severed communication with the Westinghouse air brake, thus prevent- ing him from bringing the train to a ewandstill the instant Le perceived the lights in the rear of the stationary train. ‘The stoker of the second train declares that when the train left Vincennes the signal disks licated that there was no danger ahead. On reaching Pont Tournelle, cloxs to the station of Ste. Maude, where the line curves, he caught sight of the red lamps on the rear of the front He then tried to put on the breaks, but they failed to act properly. A leading oficial of the railway blames the public for crowding into the rear van, which, We says, Was intended to remain empty. ‘Thi greatest number of dead were found beneath the ruins of this van. From the force of the collision the engine mounted to ihe top of the rear van, crushing it to fragments. An official statement makeS the number of deed 43 aud the number of injured 104. One of the numerousuccounts of the accident says that the station master detained the first train on account of a squabble With a passenger, who insisted upon riding first-class because the third-claae cnrriages were full, and forgot to signal the second train. see KILLED AT A SURFACE CROSSING A Driving Party Kun Down by a Passenger ‘Train Near Ehnira, N. ¥.
