THE GUAND ISLAND AVUECK.
Full 1'nrtlcularfl of tlio Accident The
The reports recehcd at the Union Pacific
headquarters concerning the wreck at Grand
Island Wcdncsday.mornlng make It out worse
than at that thought. The wieck wascaiused
by a misplaced switch. No switch light was
bin-nlng , or It would not liavo happened.
The switch Is said to have been changed for
a St. .loo special , and not returned to its
proper position. This switch Is located near
the engine house. When the passenger train
east bound reached this point the engine and
two tiuit cars ran elf the tiack. After inn-
nlng a little dls'anco one Bide of the engine
plow I'd Into the giound so deep that the en-
Klnc was thrown on its hide , demolishing It
badly , and the llrst Unit oar was tin own in a
diagonal position , upsetting a freight car on
the second tiaekliom those wrecked. A man
who was ildlngon the rear platl'oiui of the
llis > t finlt car was caught between the plat-
lorm tailing and the ear and nanowly o.- > -
capedilcath. Tiio second trult car jnesscd
the tailing against him so closely that a jackscrew -
screw was needed to exttlcato him. Ills
name Is Simon Koehlerand ho lives In Den
ver. The physician who attended him says
that altlnmi : ) ! the man Is badly injured , no
will nrohahly recover. The passengers on
boatd .the ttaln were also well shaken tip ,
and tho-o who weio aw.\ko at Hist wcio thoi-
oughly frightened.
It w as a close call for the engineer and fire
man , but I'ottnnately they escaped nnlnjmod.
They weriHinustially foilnnatoln thus etc.ip-
ing , consldeilng the torn up condition of the
cab. Those who viewed the wieck yesterday
morning say that It I.s the wotst tliiiv have

At about half-past 11 vo { yesterday morning
William Crnhnm , a very Hinooth sneak-thief ,
tliouulithu saw a very goood opening In the
City hotel to do a little wotk. He stepped tip
Into a room where lour soldiers were asleep ,
and proceeded to go thiongh thnr clothes In
the most approved style. Ho ransacked the
pants of Unco of the men , and seemed ruilto
a mini of money , The fourth man had his
pantR , containing a big pile of cash , umliT his
pillow , and when Craham tried to pull them
out , ho awakened. Graham quickly stepped
out thu door , the four soldieta In dishabille ,
imuning him. Ho hadantlelpated some such
an event , and had sttctchcd a who in the
yard about ll\o feet fiom the ground , so as to
intcrtupt his pursuers. The soldiers ,
not noticing the who , t.in full at'alnst It , cut
ting themselves pretty badly. Ono man
sustained a severe. Inciblon In the throat ,
another cut his taco sevetely , while otheis
received Injuries responslblu lor nioto or less
ptolanlty. Jly this tlino Graham had a ptetty
good start , but Undo Sam's millions , nothing
daunted , kept tin the rmtsnit. They linally
lan him down and turned him OUT Into the
hands of an officer.
Yesteiday mornlnc Graham , who looks
llko a viotesslonal ciouk , was analgncd.
"What's the chatgo against me ? " ho as4a d
the Judge.
"lUnulaiy. "
"Cairt piovo It against me. " ho replied la
conically , " 1 didn't break Into the hotel. I
found the door open , Ueaides , " ho added ,
" 1 committed the act In bumd duj light. "
" 1 \ \ 111 bind you over for further examina
tion , In the sum of Sl.MO. " lelurned the
Judge.
Graham took the matter very coolly , saying

case. Ilo was oscoited back to jail.

A IJohominn With Queer Ideas About
DIvorccH.
Late Wednesdayovenlngaprcty and ratlier
stylishly dressed young lady , of pcihaps sev
enteen or elghtenii years ot nge , walked into
Justice Uetka's court. She was accompanied
by her mother , a matronly looking middle
aged woman ,
"Aro you the judge ? " asked the former
timidly.
Justice Herka assured her that hc'liad the
honor to serve the good people of Omaha in
that capacity.
The young lady then gathered her bieath
and told her story.
Shn said that hernamo was Mrs. James
Chubba and that her husband was a linhomlan
about thltty-two years of age. The two were
mairled in July , l&'O , and beloro tlueo
months had elapsed , the husband had become
tiled of the mauled estate. Ho neglected her.
ill-ticatcd her , and otherwise made life ills-
agieeablo for her.
"To-day , " continued the young lady , "my
IniMund said ho was going to leave mi' , and
wanted to get a divorce so he could nmtry
someone else. 1 didn't want to do that
but ho insisted. Ho said wo could
go up to the emu t house and get a divorce In
live minutes just as quickly as wo had been
mauled. So wo went ui > theie. but Ihccleiks
only laughed when my husband told them
what he wanted. They .said it was a hard
tiling to get a divorce , and would take moio'n
a year. That distrusted my husband , and ho
said ho'd leave me anyway. "
The particular point on which Mrs. Clmbba
sought the legal ad vlcoot Justice Itoika was as
to whether tier husband's piopeity consisting
ot f in iiltuio and clothes belonged to her , She
wanted to icalixu something Tlnancially on
her matrlage. Inasmuch as Cliuhlu boldly an
nounced his intention of leaving her. Jus
tice Hot ka inloimed her that If slio sold the
propelty at , once , befoio It lell Into the hands
of Ghubba'fi creditors , it would piobablybo
all tight. Mis. U. went oil apparently happy.

Undo Sum Moy Got Bind.
Citizens particularly and ttavclcrb Rcncr-
allyliavo become tired of complaining of
the dangerous condition of the Tenth street
crossing of the Union I'acltlo , hut their
prayers for relief seem to fall on deaf cais.
It Is now possible that Undo Sam may got
his "dander up" and have a word to say on
the piemlses. Yesteiday tlmfast mall com
ing from the east to this city was delayed
twmtty-livo minutes because the dummy train
\ > as blockaded In the yards by the switching
of freights. Tito day before the mall wagon ,
carrying the mall for the II. & , M. train , was
delayed half an hour nt the Tenth street
crossing , and would hnvo missed going out

Sunday Hncen.
A large number of citizens who arn Inter
ested In the success of the fair are anxious
that the races should bo continued on Snn1-
day , making that the big day. The weather
promises to bo fair for the balance ot the
week , and by Sunday It Is believed the track
ought to bo in splendid condition. As In
the east the Snndaj races draw the largest
crowds , so hole , it Is argued , the uttontfaneo
would undoubtedly bo bomolliinir extraordi
nary. If a good piogiammo of races weio ar-
langed tor that day the association would
probably be able to well-nigh make up the
deliclt occasioned by the bad'weather. . The
fair diicctois will inob.ibly aeeedo to the gen
eral demand and arrange a llrst-class pro
gramme for Sunday afternoon.
