They were employes of the Fromont, Elkhorn & Mis- sourl Valley rond, engaged in the shops at the Valley, A brief account of the accident was published in Tue Bee yesterday morn- ing, but the men were more’ seriously hurt than was at first supposed. At 10 o*clock a dispatch was received from Dr. Colt, the company's surgeon at the latter place, asking Dr. Lacy, who looks after the company’s medical business in this city, to meet him at the Northwest city depot with ambu- lances and stretchers to convey the wounded men to & hospital The train was expectes to reach the city at miduight, but an extra tour was taken to make the run on account of the desperate nature of the men's wounds Another hour was occupied in getting them to the Women's Christian association hos- pital. They were kept under the influence of opintes until daylight, when an examination of their wounds showed the necessity of re sorting to amputation in both cases, The men were kenbaugh and Nels Matson. They wero boiler makers, and did 1ot work on the first day of the year, They spent the day ly in the Saloons, and when night came they accompanied some of their acquaintances {0 the depot who wanted to take the St. Paul train for Council Bluffs, They were very drunk, but went aboard the trail to see their friends off, The train started before they got ready to leave, and in attemptingto get “off one fell against the other and both went under the wheels. Eck- enbaugh had his vight arm crushed from the shoulder down, and his left broken, and sut- fered serious internal injuries. Matson had his right leg crushed at the knee and one arm broken, Yesterday Drs, Lacey and Colt am- putated the mangled members, Matson losing a leg and arm and tekenburg his right arm at the shoulder.

Spin is a nation of dancers, writes | Countess Carolina de Oteroin the New | York Morning Journal, All Spaniards, it may be said, are born dancing, and there would scem to beno need for apol ogizing for them on that account Asa rule they a good dancers, be- cause what wo love todo we generally do well, Theproverb tells us that: “A pair of light shoo: not all that is needed for dancing,” and I have found it tobe true. Thefandangois the oldest national dance of Spain, especially in the district of Andalusia. Thisdance int prots what may be called o passionate lovesong, The opening is o mild bitof mursie. It is daneed incouples in what is called three-four time. The musicar accompaniment isa guitar and a tam- bourine, and castanets are vsed to keep time, It is awildly voluptuous and ex- citing dance, and it seems to be appreci- ated by New York audiences, if 1 can judge from their applavse.§ Inthe fandango as [ dance it the movements are designe to inter love making between a couple. Ther. are coy glances on the part of the woman and smiles from the man, advances and retreats, feminine coquetries and mascu- line supplication, and the eventual tri- umph of the man, Such adance affords large scope for intelligent pantomime and roms The free, extemporancous chara of this dance has to abuses at times, and in Spain the chureh has sought tosuppressit. But whendaneced as it should be there is no hintof im- modesty about it. rlyall dancing in Spain is accem- panicd by singing—sometimes an im- promptu melody, but more often some song handed down for generations, and in whichall the dancers can join, Everybody should kuow how todance.
