A teh'ram to tin- Hee from Vork
nays:
The we.-t bound freight train No.
4.", engine No. VXi, which passes
through Yrk at 4 a. m. was wrecked
th rec in iles weslof here t his morn in j
The eiiiMH-er, L. II. Delaney, and
brakemaii.W. II. Moore, were instant
ly killed, and die fireman, O. J. Kenti.
iium tall- wounded. The conductor.
II. J. K'aney, and rear hrakeman. A.
Mattlu'ws, es-aped unhurt. The
eiiLiiir. t'iid-r ami fifteen cars were
piled in a heap. The remaining
seven c:,rs and caboose remained
on t he i rack.
The scene of the wreck was a '2' I
foot till in the road about tweiry
live feet deep. A small culvert three
feet square had always been si'fii-c-ent
to pass the water at that point
heretofore, but last tiifht the con
tin cons hea vy rain had filled the
ravine above and the little culvert
was insufficient. Had there been
a twenty foot bridge at this place the
disaster would not have occurred.
The ravine filled with water, the fill
in the track actinias a dam until
the stayed torrent was as hili
as he t 'aek. This is easily shown
from the masses of rubbish left by
the Hood hih on the banks on either
side. Gradually it undermined
the track tint"! it was shaky and
i.isecure and the lliial break,
when the mighty torrent gathered
strength to carry away about
fifty feet of track, occurred just at
the time the train arrived.
The section crew from Hradshaw,
the next station west had Wecome
alaiimd about the steady down
pour and had started over their
track in the niht to investigate.
The scene of ,he wreck was not on
iheir division, but they knew "if
train was eoiuiu and came on to
meet it. Had they been three min
utes earlier the accident would not
have happened. As it was they
were just in time to see the power
ful eim'iiie' ru nu iu twenty-live
miles au hour, leap forty feet across
the chasm and bury itself in the
bank on the opposite side, while
fifteen freight cars followed it. some
of them boutidinir fiftv feet further
on and the remainder piling abovt
and around in a shivered mass.
Thev reached the wreck and heard
a voice from its midst. Search
;-round in the irray lijiht of the
tnorniii"; they found the fireman
sitting indite midst of the splintered
debris and half covered wiih water,
One foot was crushed completely
off below the knee, his body was
bruised and his head wounded.
The heroic fellow was pale as
death for the arterial blood had
been pouring from his shattered
limb. This lie had stopped himself
before lie was found, by taking off
his blouse ami rapping it around
his leg and twisting a surgeon's
knot over the arteries. 'He had then
drained himself out of the narrow
hole in which he was wedded.
"Hoys fjive me some clothes," he
asked "I am cold." He had narrow
ly escaped drown in , for the heay
train had completely' finished the
break in the tack, and the onlyr
tiling that saved him was one of the
cars that the torrent had to sweep
around- and which warded it off.
Not mu'h could be done for the
heavy rain and the roaring waters
but everything that could be was
done, and later he was taken into
York on a hand-car.
At 10 o'clock the citizens, who had
located the engine, secured tools
and set Lo wrk to fi"d th? two men
who we e br'.ed below. It was
hard worl:. rs the bottom, sides and
ends of '- heavy freight cars, the
be:;'.. ' vi- 'ed and broken iron of all
si.es. machinery, '.ro"" -:es, binding
twine, rail! oad :!.: ami all the pro
miscuous art'tv'js of freight were
piled and wedded as tiht as tho
terrtfic force could drive 'lieni. At
last they fui'id brave Delaney. the
engineer. He had stayed with the
engine and was crushed beyond
the resemblance of humanity. His
body was completely cut in twain.
His head was almost unhurt as
were his lower limbs, hut the two
were lyiiiif in different places. He
had died at his post of duty and
died instantly. Later, tin body of j
Moore was found near the cab.
which had been thrown sideways
on the tender. He was lyinir
wedded in where he had been
thrown by the shock. Although he
was not crushed, he had no doubt
been instantly killed.
To the rijrht of the center of the
pile of cars lay two cars across the
telegraph wire. The tremen
dous forces may be imagined as
it had power to raise the first of
these cars hljh cnouyh in the air
to briii'; the wires down under it.
Th is under car was broken to si i vers,
the other one was lyinjr on top of it
and in it was a man and horse, and,
strange to say, in all the roll
ing over and concussion neither
of them were scratched or bruised.
They were both prisoners. Some
one chopped au opening for the
man. and the horse was released
about noon, when he trotted off up
the hill as if it were a holiday
affair.
The dead employes are both resi
dents of Lincoln, and both yoiinj;
men in the prime of life. Mean, Un
injured fireman, lies at the Wnverly
house in York to tiiht at the point
of death. The terrible shock, loss
of blood and submersion in the
water and exposure to the rain has
lowered his ital tone so that the
doctors will have to restore it be
fore they can attempt to dress h's
injuries. He says he will reeove
and his nerve has never deserted
him.

At the last meetMig of the Pleas
ant Hill alliance the following reso
lutions were adopted in vindication
of Senator Thomas of this county,
who. although a member of the al
liance, voted against the Newberry
bill:
Whereas, Several malignant and
imprudent members of the farmers'
alliance of this county have from
selfish motives secured the passage
of resolutions condemnatory of the
official conduct of our loved brother,
Samuel L. Thomas, and through
the blind force of enmity scattered
said scurrilious resolutions broad
cast throughout the counlry, and
Whereas, Our sense of lairncss
impels us to condemn the narrow
minded and selfish demagogues
who have placed the alliance of
this county in an uiuavorable
light by the foul slanders of a
worthy brother, an able senator and
an honest man; therefore, be it
Resolved, My Alliance No. 1 ,'-".
that the alleged resol ut ions of con
demnation of our wor.hy bioiher,
Samuel L. Thomas, are untrue, in
fact, malicious and unworihy of the
Honest veoma'iry of l .i s cou-ity.
Resolved. Flintier, that the offi
cial acts of Mroiher Thomas as a
senator of the last legi.-lal u re f u My
jusliiv the confidence re"osed in
him; "that he loyally suppotied
evei v measure that could possibly
benefit the farmers of Nebraska, and
bravely imposed such measures as
would" c pple tne commercial and

thereby injure the v.y interests
that he so ablv championed.
