SINGLE COPrY FIVE CE Omaba Mail Leaves the Tracks Six Miles from Council Bluffs, CONDUCTOR WILSON THE WORST SUFFERER Passengers Injurt the All Escape with Minor Due to Slow Speed Engine Was Making. Passenger train No. 8 on the Omaha & 8t. Louls rallroad, known as the Omaha mall, and due to arrive in Councll at 8:06 a. m., yesterday went into the ditch near what Is known as “Dead Man's Crossing.”” Despite the fact that the en- tire train, with the exception of the loco- motive, rolled down a twelve-foot embank- ment, none of the passengers was seriously injured and all were able to leave for their homes yesterday afternoon. Conductor Ar- {thur 8. Wilson of Council Bluffs was the most serfously hurt, his injuries consisting of two broken ribs, a badly cut hand, bruised face and probably internal injuries. He 1is being cared for at his home, 820 Fourth avenue The accident occurred at a curve near Pony Creek, about six miles southeast of Council Blufts, and was caused by the | breaking of a rail about six feet from the | joint. The train consisted of five cars, | baggage, mail, smoker, chair and Pullman, all of which, after leaving the ralls, bumped along the tles for 150 feet and then slid down the embankment, turning over on their sides. The locomotive and tender | stayed on the track. The track was badly torn up, but was opened agala for traffie by 6 o'clock last evening. | smoking cars were badly wrecked. | Slow Specd Saves Lives. That none of the passengers was Killed was due probably to the fact that the train was running slowly, not much more than twenty miles an hour, when the cars left the track. W. D, Rogerson, the engineer, realizing that he had plenty of time in whichito make the eity, had shut off steam as he turned the curve between the Pony creek crossing and the trestle over the creek. When he stopped his engine its nose was just over the trestle. Had the train been running at full speed nothing could have saved It, he said, from golng fnto the creek. As it was, the cars slid gently down the embankment, turning over on their sides without piling up one on the | other. | Conductor Wilson had just entered the | Pullman when the car turned over and he was thrown heavily against a seat, the corner striking him in the chest. His right hand went through a window and was badly sut. R. Addy of Tmogene had a narrow escape from losing his right leg. His right foot went through a window and was pinned between the car and the ground, which fortunately was soft. Part of the car had to be chopped away In order to extricate him. The foot was badly bruised and wrenched, but no hon: were broken. Mr, Addy also recelved a scalp wound, which required several stitcho Baggageman's Narrow Escape. Frank Smith of Council Bluffs, baggage. man and express messenger for the Wells- Fargo Express company, had a narrow | escape. When the express car turned over he was washing his hands and was thrown against the side of the car, the heavy safe rolling over within an inch of his head. | He regards his escape from being crushed to death as almost miraculous. Among the others injured are: Willlam | Judd, chiet mail clerk, Malvern, ankle sprained; A. H. Wilson, Tekamah, left leg bruised and right shoulder dislocated; Mre. A. H. Wilson, hurt about chest; Baby Wil | con, hurt abovt head; Miss Carrie Kira, | bruised hip; R. 8. Harrls, 8t.

The train contained about sev- enty-five passenge the largest number belug in the chair car. In the chair car were five bables, not one of whom was in- jured. A baby in the Pullman, which had been placed by Its mother in the little woven hammock under the hat rack over the head of the berth, received a slight in- jury to ite bead. None of the passengers who reached Coun- ¢il Bluffs about noon was able to glve much | information about the wreck. All they knew was that they felt the cars leave the | track, bump along the ties for a distance |and then gently slide down the embank- ment, toppling over on their sides when reaching the bottom. They all regard their escape from serlous injury and possiblo death as providential. Among the passengers who reached Coun- ¢il Bluffs about noon were F. M. Becrest, El- dorado, Kan.; C. W.

Totals | Majority for regulirs *No contest The 1egular republican organization was bandsomely endorsed at the county pri maries in Omaha yesterday. The figures as complled tell the story The regulars or so-called friends of the administration swept the city by carry- ing four out of five of the contested wards and three out of four of the uncontested wards. Despito the false fssues raised and the virulent cry of “machine,” by which the antis tried to rally support, the regular organization tickets won In each case by decisive majorities, ranging from 100 to 200, while in the Seventh ward, the stronghold of the antls, the highest majority was sixty, The miost slgnal victory for the friends of the regular organization came in the Sixth ward, the banmer republican ward of the city, wnere the bolters of last year headed by City Comptroller Westherg were snowed under by a majority of over 200 out of a total vote of §66. No Confidence In Disloyal Leaders. For an off year and a merely local con- test the primaries wero remarkably well attended, more than 3,000 votes belng polled throughout the city, of which the vegulars received nearly 2,000, Notwithstanding the sweeplug success it must not be forgotten that the antis had organized to the best of their ability and had been freely claiming an overwhelming preponderance. Thelr leaders who had openly fought the re- publican candidates during the national campaign and who were trying to regain control of the party machinery naturally falled to inopire confidence of the rank and file as agalnst the loyal workers who stood by tho ticket when the redemption of Nebraska was the issue. Jefferls, the noisy spokesman, and his slde-partner, Brome, were lald low in the Eighth ward; Westberg in the Sixth ward, scarcely less noisy, hardly knew he was running; the redoubtable Tom Blackburn, with the welght of the congressional ma- chine on his shoulders and five weeks' residence in the Ninth ward, fell forty behind his assoclates on an uncontested delegation. Hugh Myers and W. A, Saun- ders were engineering the antls in the Fifth, but were ruled out under the time limit. The only place where the antis got any consolation was In the Seventh ward, where they had ralsed their false issue over Vinsonhaler. The success of the various candidates for different ofoes in their respective wards glves them the lead for the offices they seek and in all probability the con- ventlon will be as harmonious and ex- peditious as usual. The convention meets in Washington ball at 2 o'clock this after- noon, while the executive committes of the county committee will hold a session at 9 o'clock in the morning to complete pre- liminaries, Story of the Struggle. The story of the day’s frays in the differ- ent wards is briefly told. In the First ward there was only one ticket In the Interest of Hoye for sheriff. Notwithstanding this, however, R. C. Jor- dan, whose name was on the printed list, was beaten out by the substitution of Hugh by voters who wanted to show of Jordan’s backsliding In the Second ward, where Hoye resides, his candidacy for sheriff was substantially backed at the polls as agalnst the feebls effort of Dr. Welse to capture the delega- tion for himself for coroner. Associated with Hoye are Willlam Altstadt for justice of the peace and Henry Knodell for con- stable. The Third ward presented a love feast all day, not even a scratch being recorded against the regular delegation, which hal the fleld all to itself. The Fourth ward was also an uncontested fleld, but yet more than 200 ballots were cast. The ticket is pledged to Vinsonhaler for county judge, who was frightened for a Mttle while during the afternoon by an evi- dent attempt to write in three new names but when the count was finishad it was found that only thirty split ballots had been cast “Machine” Cry Does In the Fifth ward the antis raised the cry of “machine” and worked it hard, distort- 1ng the action of the committee In rejecting the four names that had been written into thelr petition after signatures had been secured. It availed them little, however, for thelr defeat wi decisive by over 100, Fhe delegation is for Lucas for sheriff The big Sixth gave the greatest victory to the regulars under the banner of W. J. Hunter for county clerk. Sample ballots with unique labels flew thick and fast and 666 votes were polled. The antis soon lost their courage and were finally driven from the fleld under an adverse majority of over 200, The hottest fight In the city was in the Seventh ward, where Judge D. M. Vinson- haler contered hix strength against a delo- gation pledged tc J. O. Detweller, & res- {dent of the ward, for county judge. The Vinsonhaler ticket had been cut down to twelve by the withdrawal of three of its candidates, but three of the men on the Detweller ticket, Noo, Wiliameon and Lig- gett, were chosen for the favor of the Vin- sonhaler following and were elected along with the short ticket. The vote was one ot Go, At Hamburg—Arrived New York At Bremen—Arrived: Bulgaria, from Lehn, from Ni of the heaviest ever cast in & Seventh ward primary, a total of 6510 being polled.
