FALLS CITY , Neb. , April 14. [ Special Tele-
pram to Tin : BII : : . | This morning the south
bound passenger train duo hero at 1/ : ) on
the Missouri Pacific left the track about a
mlle and a half south of this city. A trestle
work which hud Just been built gave away
Just after engine No.t02 ! had safely cleared
it. The tender , baggage car , smoker , chair
car and sleeper were thrown from the track.
The only remarkable thing about the wreck
was that none of the twenty-llvo passengers
"or trainmen sustained serious injury. The
train crow consisted of Engineer Scott , Fire
man Fisher , Conductor May , express mes
senger , J. Green , the baggageman. The
express cur was turned bottom side
up and it is a marvel that the
messenger escaped alive. A Hying missile ,
probably the safe , gave htm n severe cut oa
tlio head , almost dislocating his Jaws ami
cutting and bruising ono car badly. The
passengers were found clinging to seats , the
coaches having been thrown on their sides ,
and llttlo tlmo was lost in getting the occu
pants out. Some of the Imprisoned passen
gers thought they had been thrown into the
Ncmuhu river which was but a short distance -
tanco from the scene of the accident.
Word soon reached this city and convey
ances were sent to bring the people here.
Many wcro found to have sustained scratches
"
mid "bruises of a painful but not serious
nature. The most unfortunate passenger
was a little girl whoso head is cut quite
badly.
/ A working crew arrived this morning and
-4 the work of removing the wreck has com
menced , but It will probably bo twcntyfour
hours before trains can bo run. No blame is
attached to the train crew , ns the accident
was caused "by yesterday's heavy ruin , which
undermined the tresilo work.
Peculiar Impeachment Case.
NKI.SOX , Neb. , April 14. [ Special to Tin :
niin.1 The impeachment trial of Sheriff
Wordcn now In progress before the commis
sioners' court has aroused great interest In
all parties. Wordcn was elected by ttio re
publicans and has served a year and a half ,
_ having previously been sheriff and deputy
sheriff for a number of years. During the
last campaign ho refused the use of the court
room to the alliance men because their meet
ing was secret , mid slnco then they have de
termined to get even with him if possible.
The republicans , however , nil stand by him ,
while the democrats look on Impartially. Tlio
f < entire bar of Nelson , except the county nttor-
jit * "fioy and II. II. Short , who assists the prose
cution , have been retained to defend the
sherllt and nro making n brisk tight of It. Mr.
Wordon has no doubt been guilty of some
trifling misdemeanors and does not deny the
occasional use of beer and the independent
party has taken ndvuntugo of this fact to oust
him from the ofllco and got the control them
selves. The evidence of the first day of the
trial was entirely worthless us touting to con
viction , but the defense brought out the fact
frpnijhoprosncutlnir\Y.l.tno3s .tuut ai an all ! ; .
should succeed Wordon , and tlio witness was
ono of the nominees , thus showing the prose
cution to bo governed by motives of selfish
ness instead of for the good of the county. It
was this evidence that caused the little scrap
Saturday between the witness and another
prominent member of the alliance. The court
adjourned Saturday evening until today.
NUI.SOX , Nob. , April II. [ Special Tele-

trial of Sheriff Worden rested tills afternoon.
From the evidence so fur It appears that

take in the senate , so far as his acting with
the old parties Is coneerned. He denies hav
ing said that ho would vote with tlio repub

the most flattcrintr terms of the republican
party ns it used to bo , and then says of it :
"It 1ms gradually been taken possession of

the Influence of this great power the money
power. Many of us asked tlmo and again
that our leaden would listen. Wo
gnvo them warning times without num
ber that the people , the tellers , the
working millions were rapidly being de
spoiled , and that sooner or later , unless our
party took hold of our grievances and gave
to us what wo are entitled to , there would bo
n rebellion among the massed which would
sweep the party from existence. "
Of the charges that ho has become aristo
cratic slnco assuming his senatorial duties
ho says : "And one other matter : The
newspapers nro circulating a rumor to the
effect that \\\o \ \ extravagance of my quarters
and my surroundings hero in Washington
uro altogether out of harmony with the con

have good quarters. I expect to

Alliance Suspicions.
TOIM-.KA , Kan. , April 14. [ Special Tele
gram toTin : BII.J : : There is a growing feel
ing among the nllianco men of Kansas that
while the northern nllianco has been working
for the success of the now party and to de
feat the republicans , that the southern al
liance has clung to the democratic party and
docs not intend to abandon It for n new one.
A conference of the olllcors of the Kansas al
liance was held hero today , resulting m tlio
drafting of n circular loiter addressed to the
southern nllluiico and signed by President
McGrath. After referring to editorial utter
ances of southern nllianco papers , opposing
the third party movement , and expressing
the hope that they did not voice the senti
ment of the south , the letter says :
"I ask all members of the farmers' alliance
and industrial union to moot for a farmers' '
alliance conference In Music hull , Cincinnati ,
O. , May 10 , 1801 , that wo may decide on the
course that the farmers' alliance will pursue
before the conference meets. I bollovo I
voice the sentiment of the northwest when I
say that the farmers' nllianco In the north
western states will either bo in union with
the south 'in the mlddlo of tha road' in 1S'J2
or the northwestern states will return to
thalr.oldntiinofcnittjorltiosjf fortho oldiparty-i
and the union of the west and south for the
protection of their homogeneous interests
will bo deferred for another generation. "
The disintegration of the farmers' alliance
In Kansas will certainly follow if the Cincin

LONDON- , April M. [ Now York Herald
Cable Special to Tin : Bii.l ; I cannot ro-
nombcr a parliament In connection with
hlch so many dreadful pcr.sonal scandals
ave occurred as that now sitting. Within u
ew months wo have had exposures which
. 'iilucd Piirncll , n minor member of the mhi-
stry has escaped by the skin of hU teeth , and
ow warrants nro out against an Irish con-
.ervativo . and an English liberal on charges
ifnmous in character.
What Is England coming to , where nro its
morals gone ) Fortunately It is not necessary
o condemn the nation for the crimes of few ,
iut the Increasing number of great scandals
ovculs a state of affairs which must inspire
o with very unpleasant reflections.
The Irish conservative is Edward do
tabuln , a nonentity in the house of
lonimons , where ho was not often
ecu and but llttlo known. Ho Is
of the extremist sect of ornncomcn , n
.on . of a Wesloynn minister , educated at the
Belfast mercantile academy and formerly
grand master of an orange Instltu-
Ion of Belfa t. Ho is now deputy
ml master for Ireland. Ilo represents Kast
Belfast in parliament , but will never again
jo scon In the house of commons.
Ho is charged witli ono of the most abomi
nable of crimes , and before warrants were
issued for his arrest abundance of evidence
, vas obtained proving that tie had carried on
; ils vile practices over u long scries of years.
Hemcmberlng that similar crimes were
raced some time ago to very inllueiitiul cir
cles in Dublin , it is not surprising
hat the Catholic and homo rule parties nro
disposed to make the moat out of the now
exposure of n liberal member. Captain Ver-
icy is charged with having been guilty of a
conspiracy to lure English girls to the conti'
nent for felonious purposes. He , too , has
disappeared from the house , and is not likely
to bo seen again. Iio Is a retired captain In
the ro.val navy , served In the Crimea nno
Indian mutiny , is chairman of the quarter
sessions , n member of the London county
council , and in politics a Gladstonlan. As
the balance goes , neither can crow over the
other , but tha disgraceful scandals cannot
fait to make a deep Impression on the public
mind.
Do Coblain ofllclally describes him
self , in the parliamentary guide ,
a man with strong democratic sym
pathies. Democracy will presently show
pcoplo of his description that its sympathies
are not with the members of parliament who
think they can sot the laws of God and man
at dclianco without suffering , and there will
bo an explosion which may tend to purify
nnd-improvo the doba3ed-moralwtone < prova- '
lentin many sections of English society.

spicuously und atsuch a sacrillcc during the
hour of tlio nation's peril stood by the flag

against us in that struggle without division
in voice or heart today praise Almighty God
that ho preserved us ns ono nation. ( Cheers. ]
There is no man , whatever his views upon

trat has stirred the pulses of this great na
tion , that has kindled these fires , that
converted these retired and isolated farms
into centers of trade and mechanical
pursuits , bringing the market close to the
doors of the farmer am' ' prosperity Into every
homo ! It Is that wo have no line of division
between the stales. It is that these impulses
of freedom nnd enterprise , once limited in
their operations , uro now common to all
states. Wo have a common heritage. The
confederate soldier lias a full honorable par
ticipation in all the benefits of a great and
Just government. [ Cheers. ] I do not doubt
today that these would bo among the readiest
of our population to follow the old flag if It
should bo assailed from any quarter. "
[ Cheers. )
At Joncsboro the president made n
short address. After referring to the an
tiquity of the tour ho said : "Tho scripture

was held , and Colonel Henderson delivered
an address of welcome , to which the president
responded. Ho said in part : "Iain glud to
know that deep devotion to that cuuso which
manifested itself in the early contributions of
Tennessee to iho armies thut went to the defense -
fenso of the homes of the northwest abides
still in these valleys and crowns with Its
glory and lustro every hilltop of the Allo-
ghoulea. I beg to say to you that who
ever supposes Ihoro Is unvwhwa In
iho northern states any Jealousy of your great
material progress wholly misconceives the
friendly heart of the people of the north. It
is my wish , us It Is the wish of all with whom
I associate in political life , thai the streams
ol prosperity In the south may run bunk full.
All llvo In a government of law. All may safely
differ in polities ; wo mav safely divide upon a
question as to what shall bo law , but when n
law is once enacted no community can safclj
dlvida on the question of Implicit obcdlunn
to the law , I may not ohooso as president
what laws I will enforca and a cltUon nuij
not cheese which laws ho will oboy. Upon
this broad principle our Institutions rest ,
therefore my appeal everywhere Is to boh
the law In veneration and reverence ; wo
have no other king. Publlo oftlceiv. tire your
servants , hut In tbo august nnd mujcstlo
presence of the law wo nil uncover and bumf
llio knee. May every prosperity attend you. "
[ Great und prolonged cheering. |

MONTIIEAT. , April H. Sir Charles Tapper's
charges that the Grand Trunk railroad com
pany worked for tlio liberal sldo in the last

who made some vigorous statements re

plainly bldJlng for tno Grand Trunk vote ,
but the company declined to swerve from its
independence. Before the election tbo
Grand Trunk was deserving of every favor
from the Dominion government , but since
then no misrepresentation Is too monstrous
to bo hurled at thorn by Tnppcr and ills col

the part of iho board of directors of the com.
pany not deserving serious considorn

The proclamation of President Harrison
'hieing ' the educational br.inch of the Indian

n\v has created widespread comment among
no politicians ami reformers hero , it is
.mivorsally . commended. While everyone has
idmitted lor many years that .so sacred and
inportant a branch of the Indian service as
ho education of the savages should not bo
amlled about ns political spoils and mere
mllticlans often sent to tnko charge of the
Ighest Interests of the Indians , It lias been
eft to President Harrison to tnko the stand

s the "ghost dunce" has bccomo the moans

"ic regarded as extremely Important , as It
vill liavo a tendency to minimize the warring

his move. It belongs to President Harrison.

It is very safe to predict that the Now
