cock of Columbus here to appear before
a committee picked to suit himself and
to plead against my franchise. This
gentleman presented papers and state
ments to the effect that his company has
absolutely financed its enterprise by the

Thomas McTsggert, one of the night
policemen of this city was found lying
unconscious, a little before 8 o'clock Sat
urday evening, between the tracks at the
Union Pacific railroad crossing on L
street. He was first discovered by Joe
Baumgartner and s brakeman on the
Union Pacific passenger train who
reported immediately at the depot. It
is thought he had been lying is that con
dition for perhaps fifteen minutes before
found. Bus head was cut badly in sev
eral places, his eyes and neck swollen
and he was bleeding freely. It was
several hours after he was taken home
before he gained ooneciousness, and he
is still quite sick from the effects of the
bruises and cuts. It is not known who
made the assault but the guilty man will
probably be apprehended as soon as Mr.
McTaggert is able to talk to those
about him.
The concert given at Orpheus opera

of last week. The casualty occurred
near Itfarcelihe and was a peculiar -xreck
in. many ways. The heavy engine which
weighed 124 tons was completely demol
ished. The tracks of the enzme were
thrown from the track which struck a
switch and turned the engine end for
end. The fireman was thro'vn a great i
distance and died within a few hours.
Mr. Wise when found was still holding .
the throttle but the enzine was com-f
pletely torn to pieces all around him.
Something struck him on the temple
which was the cause of his death. He
lived until 7:30 Tuesday morning, but
after the accident did not sum conscious
ness. Mr. Wise was bom July. 1S37,. in
Monmouth. Illinois, coming to Platte
county with his parents in 1572- Par
twenty years he has been in the railroad
service and was classed as one of the
best and most careful of engineers. The
funeral was held Thursday from his-
oome in Argentine. Jir. Wise leaves a
wife and three sons. His manv friends
here and of the Wise family extend sym
pathy to the bereaved relatives in their
deep affliction.
