Among the passengers pn the train were a doctor and a trained murse and two discharged soldlers. The Jatter had served In the hospital corps. They rondered great service to the injured be- fore the arrival of other medical assist- mnce. The' concussion was so great when the trains collided that a passenger coach telescoped the smoking car for half its length. Three engines are now locked to- wether. Mr. Harper was sitiing in the rear end of the smoker and was pinned in the wreck- age, being horribly mangled. Death was mot instantaneous, but mearly two hours Wwere consumed in extracting the body.

The second section of No. 29, the freight train, came down the main line at Beowawe to allow another freight to pull out. Conductor Dorsey, in charge of No. 219, saw what the engineer ‘was doing and, as No. 6 was about due, turned the air on the train, breaking it in two. The head brakemen went back to ohain up, while the fireman went to flag the first section of No. 6, which was com- ing. It being on a curve, engineer did not see the flagman until the trais were almost together and it was im- possible to prevent the crashing together of the powerful engines. Both engine crews gumped and both engines were demolished. The dead and injured were taken on the Mecond section of No. 6 to Ogden, with the mxception of PFireman BStone and Grant Byle of San Francisco, who were sent to that city.

A call for a special meeting of the coun- ofl at 10 o'clock this morning was signed by Counciiman Huntington, chairman of the finance committee, yesterday after- noon. The meeting is for the purpose of rles and liabllitles incurred during the month of September and prior_ thereto. A report has been prepared for the sularies and bills be allowed as far as there are unexhausted funds to cover, and that the city attorney be instructed to confess judgment In the district court for pay. By this means City Attorney Wright hopes to evade the necessity of city em- ployes assigning thelr wages at exorbi- tant rates of interest. The judgments, he argues, should be disposed of the same as warrants. Blank assignments will be pre- pared and given to employes, Assigners | and they will draw interest the same as warrants, Suit may be entered to cover all em- ployes involved, but need be signed by but one of the plaintifts. Counclimen seem to | the expedient and the scheme very Iikely will be adopted at the meeting thi | morping.

He claimed that the amendment was aimed at him, for it sought to oust his protege, As- semblyman Butler. It was nothing but an other fight by President Buchanan and his a glowing tribute to Delegate Butler, asserting that he had done great things for unfon labor. “Do you want to turn this man down?" he fairly shrieked, “‘and in favor of a man whose ruling you already have repudiated? Of course, you don't.

With the induction of the new journalism propagated by Horace Greeley the editor had been freed from these humil fating chains and a just freedom realized that has made it possible for newspapers to point out the errors of their own party and expose the bad members of the organ- izatton. “T desire to see the best man nominated,” sald Mr. Rosewater, in substance, “and I desire if possible to say good words for all nominees, 8o that pot only party ad- herents, but the independent-minded voter, may be induced to vote for thewm." An to Vi He then 100k up the personal controversy with Judge Vinsonhaler, which, he said, he regretted to feel obliged to do. “In the letter to the World-Herald published this morning,” he said, “Judge Vinsonhaler at- tempts self-vindication of the charges against him by dwelling on two matters in relation to myself, which would seem | his mind, apparently, to imply a lack of { moral stamina on my part and a penchant for vindictiveness and malice. “In regard to the first, namely, that I called upon him at the court house and re- quested him to continue an ejectment case \agalnst Julius S.

In behalf of Jullus Cooley, I went to Judge Vinsonhaler and requested the continuance, Dbeing careful to qualify the request with a statement that it was desired if it did not interfere with justice. I suppose hundreds of lawyers do the same thing right along, and T can't see wherein I had a bad mo- tive. aler. Story of the Loan. ““The second charge is that 1 attempted to borrow $20,000 or $25,000 of trust funds in the county judge's hands, offering to give Bee bullding stock as security. This is made to sound llke a most extraordinary case. The impression is glven by the head- ing and the letter that the securities are worthless and that I attempted to abuse the trust reposed in Judge Vinsonhaler." Mr. Rosewater then recited part.of the | history of the construction, and financing of the Bee bullding and the occasion for borrowing meoney in 192 to meet a judg- ment obtained by the defunct Omaha Sav- Ings bank. A broker, Mr. Boatright, had of his own volition approached Judge Vin- sonhaler regarding the loan after suggesting to Mr. Rosewater his belief that he could negotiate a loan in this manner. Boatright had called on Judge Vinsonhaler without Mr. Rosewater's knowledge and the latter had conferred with the judge at the form- er's suggestion, “I found that the judge declined to loan trust funds except under certain condi- | tlons,” sald Mr. Rosewater, “and the matter g (Continued on Becond Page.) | !

Calvert Entertains Crowd, The whole work of free entertaining fell | upon Calvert, but he was able to sustain { the burden with his ballancing pole and won the hearty applause cof the revellers. Besides the ordinarily difficult stunts he | walked across with his feet through o bar- | vel, sat on chairs and ate a delicate lunch from a table ballanced at the centur of | the wire, e also did some trying work on the suspended trapeze, The midway did & thriving business. All [ but wto of the shows on tne graund were running full steam and followers of every school of speiling were to be heard. ‘The Hawalians pleased the people very mich and repeatedly filled their tent.

They nccompany their volces with stringed in¢truments, to which the musle of the islands is peculiarly adapted. { The bench show gave its first performante, with a numbe rof pretty dogs, all smail.

Low Rates Hring Crow | The one-half Ak-Sar-Ben rate fare which went into effect yesterday on Omana rafl- roads is bringing crowds to the ¢ ty. The actual rush has not yet begun, but railnpad officlals expect to have all taey can handla by Monday. All of ihe roads :re Hguring on running specials out after the jarade l'on Thursday night, but so far none has | come to a definite conclusion except the Northwestern, which will run to Carroll, & distance of 100 miles, and about the same distance on the Nebraska and Wyoming division. The Wabash will run its special to Pattonsburg, 150 miles, and the Great Western will extend its service to Carroll, Many of the excursionists have signified their jntention to remain in the city until ! the limit of the ticket, which 18 on the 12th, and ihis fact has been the cause of the delay by the rallroads in,declding whether |1t would be advisable to make the special runs. If it is decided to do 8o by the other roads, the specials will only run out from between fifty to sixty miles. ‘The hotels are making speclal praparations for the visitors and every available amount »f space 18 being utillzed. Extra beds are being placed in the rooms, and cots are ! found In the hallways. The general opinfon secms to he that if the weather continues favorable from now on the crowd will be a record ‘reaker. The merchants and others having displ ! windows have been exerting themselves | Quring the last few days to prepare ef- fective Ak-Sar-Ben displays which will at the same time show the out-of- | town visitors that they are expected and gladly prepared for, and suggest to them the advisability of entering the marts of trade. An unsclous bit of humor some- times creeps into these decorations. An instance of this is to be seen on Cuming street, where a patriotic undertaker has placed a big red, green and crange star in his window hearing the rather sinister legend, “Welcome.” VICTIMS OF WEDDING JOKE i Mrs, E. ackson Are to Advertise for Boy to Adopt, one and Mr. and Mra Ernest Andrew Jacksom, | who were married in Omsha this week, | were made the victims of a severe wedding joke in Chicago.

Mr. Jackson is the son of former Governor F. . Jackson of Jowa and the bride is the ghter of Judge W. H. Munger of the United States district court in Omaha.
