occurred the Inttor had Just crossed tlio
spur utul the online on No. 0 struck the
tciulcr , hurling both engines and the two
conches from the track. Tlio combination
conch nnd the chnlr car were both crowded
With passengers , nil of whom were moro or
loss Injured , while 1'otorllculiind , pro rioter
of the Trcmont house , Sixteenth and Hurt
strccU , was Injured to that extent that ho
dlod shortly aflor bolng taken to the hos
pital.
An cuglco nnd sovornl cars were sent out
from this pluco nnd the victims were biought
to this city for treatment.
Tim seono presented on the nrrival of the
rescuing party has Imd no counterpart In
this vicinity. Wrecks there have been In
neighborhood of Omaha , und many of them
too , but they have almost exclusively
, occurred with freight trains. The mooting
of passenger trains , with such a result , had
never token place.
The durkncss of night had almost
settled over the BCOIIO. In the
gloom the dobni assumed fantastic shapes ,
the outlines of which to distinguish reiiu.red
the torches and lamua which were shortly
brought Into tiso.
From the overturned coaches catno the
cries of injured ones , which rose above the
lilpslng of the escaping steam ,
Some beneath thu debris were frantic In
their injony , nnd robnkod the rcscuors , wbo
scorned liut lee Blow to rcmovo the
ivclght which was pressing upon
thorn. To ndd to the horror , the
cluilr car , after being overturned ,
caught 11 ro nnd far a time burned with the
brilliancy nnd intensity of n funer.it pyre.
And indeed aucli it. ttiroitencd to bocomp ,
because many of the injured passenger , had
not yet boon removed from within Its walls.
Willing Immls , however , not , to work , and
copious showers of water soon succeeded in
oxtlngtiHliIng the ( lames.
ninny of the passengers were burned In
addition to their other injuries , butlhoso who
had escaped comparatively sale , aided in the
work of relieving their pain.
The relief train bore many of the Bufforora
to the city , whllo a gang of workmen set
resolutely to work to clear up the debris.
The oxuet number of thu injured has not
ns yet been ascertained. The following thus

The engineer states that ho mndo ovcr.y en
deavor to stop the train , but was unsuc-

Both engineers were among the mon who
walked out during the Burhugton strike
about two years aeo.
Owing to tlio wreck Urn main Hue's trains
Were belated this morning.
Superintendent D. K.Thompson yesterday
afternoon submitted his report to General
Manager Holdrepo concerning the wreck.
Among other things he cited the following :
" 1 llml that ttio engineer ou No. 0 ( Gillos-
plo ) , Is largely responsible for the accident.
Ho claims that his air bralto WUH discon
nected from his engine , and that tno onglno
had been tampered with before leaving
Omahn , nnd thnt hn endeavored to use ttio
broken hut could not , owing to the discon
nection. Ho admitted , however , that two
ininutcH before leaving Omaha , ho found
the atr brakes to bo in proper
ehapcr But without the mr brakes
tlio cnglno would hnvo protected thu
train. Thus fur I have discovered that nlno
of the passengers were injured , one case
belug fatal. Three employes were nlso hurt.
No. V had but com mo need to move from the
\vntor tunic where it stopped for water. The
cnglno on No. 0 struck thu tender of the en
gine on No , ' . ) and next caino In contact with
the corner of the combination couch , derail
ing und toppling over the combination car
and ttiu chair car that was attached to It. "
It will bo scon by the report compiled by n
reporter for Tiiri UIE : Hint there nro ooveral
cases of injury to pasHimtrors that have not
0s yet boon ascertained by the superintendent.
Yesterday morning Coroner Oroxol Issued a
Bummoiib for all tlio employes ou thu Ill-fated

this forenoon.
Mary liutlor , who was taken to the hospi
tal Tuesday night , was convoyed to her homo
nt South Omaha yostorduv. Her loft arm was
found to bo fractured und amputation may
bo necessary.

Hurt. Motor No. II , of the Sixteenth and
Vinton street , with Motorumn Soaaun , ran
Into a train on tha Kavontoonth and Stior-

Thu latter was passing south over the
curve when Soudan allowed his tniin to turn
in and btrlha the Sherman uvenuu train al
most in the middle.
Soudan's car was badly wrecked nnd ho
iliiiuo'f ' narrowly escaped being liilloel. The
front of the motor was completely demol
ished , the hood smushcJ , the uprights broken
into splinters and u number of seals ren-
tiered useless. The machinery was also
badly injured , n * was also thnt of the two

Councilman Whcolcr is after the scalp of
Street Commissioner Kent.
Ho claims that that ofllolal has fulled to
carry out the Instructions glvon him bya
resolution of the council requiring him to do
work lu the order presented to him by that
body.
' Here nro some facts in the case , " snld
Mr. Wheeler. "On August 0 , a resolution
bj' Mr. Van Camn was adopted ordering the
commissioner to do some work on California
street near Nineteenth , to cost S'JS. That
has Just boon done , and not until after ho
completed a Job of grading ut : alloy south of
Pierce street , at n cost of S1G4.7S. that was
ordered by Air. Kuspar's resolution on Octo
ber J. Some resolutions of my own , for
work ordered on September " 1 , have Just
boon attended to.
"Horo Is another matter that is wrong , "
Bald Mr. Wheolur. "Mr. Oavlo has had thrco
Jobs of work ordered in grading Capita ! nvo-
nuo from Twenty-eighth to Thirtieth streets ,
amounting in all to $015.22. This work should
not have been done by tlio street commis
sioner. It should have boon let by contract
nnd half of the cost charced up to the prop
erty owners. Thu work , if donn bvcontract ,
would not hnvo cost moro than ? IOO and the
city's share would have been ? ; tX ) instead of
5GOO nnd over. The street commissioner has
nil ho can do to perform worlt that properly
belongs to the city without taking grading
Jobs thnt should bo paid for by property
owners. "
Mr. Wheeler promised to have the matter
investigated and to make it very warm for
somebody.

The magnificent receptions which have
been given to the Pau-Amcrlcan congress ,
who , ns the guests of ttio nation , nro rapidly
speeding westward through the reprcsontn-
tlvo states of the country , hnvo awakened
apprehension In the minds of many promi
nent citizens that Omnhn will not do herself
justiceon the occasion of their arrival a
wcok from next Saturday.
Mnyor Droatch was called upon
yesterday morning nnd asked what
the condition of matters was with
reference to the reception of the
All-American congress. Ho said : "Wo
have appointed committees nnd they nro
working. I feel , however , that it is of the
highest importance that public sentiment
should bo nrouscd to the necessity of giving
n royal reception to these very uUtlngiilshcd
visitors. Many of our people do not seem
to understand thnt Omaha is to bo
honored with a visit of moro than
halt n score of the representative
statesmen of South and Central America ,
who will spend u day nnd a half in our city ,
in order to fumillarlzo themselves with west
ern progress and Idoas.
"kvery where along the route they hnvo
been greeted with enthusiastic receptions ,
with largo crowds of citizens welcoming
them nt the stntlons , with splendid banqucta
and dinners , nnd n generous display of
American hospitality.
"Omaha cannot afford to do any loss.t The
time now Is short , and our citizens must
join hand in hand with the
committees in furnishing the necessary funna
to properly ontortaln the congress. They
must bo given u dinner and reception in the
evening nnd bo shown around the city dur
ing the day. taken to South Omaha. Fort

understand that u number of eastern news
paper correspondents accompany the party ,
a'ld It would bo tu tlio cvcrlastliiK shame nnd
disgrace of this city if It failed to do us
whole und generous dutv.
" 1 hope that the papers of Omaha will
discuss this matter und explain to our citi
zens that wo uro ubolit to receive as guests
representatives of nearly n score of sister
republics , whoso visit to this country by in
vitation of the United btatcs government ,
will , it is hoped , prove of Immense aid to the
United States , und Indirectly , nt least , of
great importance to Omuha. "

rangc for the ontertaininentof the delegates
of the I'an-American congress 1'old a moot

secretary of the board of trade.
The meeting was very enthusiastic , und
thu members felt very conlldent that all the
money necessary for the entertainment of
the visitors could Uo raised without any dilll-
cully. Numerous assurances of substantial
assistance had been received from prominent
oiti7cns aud the urinuipal business houses of
the city.
The committee will start out to solicit sub
scriptions on Saturday next , and will call on
the principal institutions and the prominent

.Seventh Wnrtl Meolin .
The democratic club of the Seventh ward
met at Twenty-sixth nud Walnut streets
last nightl
At the beginning routine business was
transacted , with I'resjuent Morearty in the
chair.
Early in the proceedings Michael Uocho
arose to make a few remark ? , nnd then the
fun commenced. Itochehad blood in his eye
and was after Morality's ' scalp. lie began
by accusing Morearty of treachery , and t > aid
that ho was the rightful nominee of thu con
vent on for the position of county clerk , but
Morourty had defrauded him out of it. Ho
stated that Morearty had abused the trust
reposed 111 him and had violated nil princi
ples of honor by refusing to vot'j for Kccho
In the convention.
Itocho continued in this strain for some
time , and was followed by Judge Liinnon
and others , who said moan tilings about
Morearty.
Jeff Mcgcath was present and tried to pour
oil on the troubled waters , but n row was
down ou the bills and there was no stop
ping it.
After all the Hoc ho ndhorents hud relieved
their minds President Morearty turned himself -
self loose. Uo began bv staling that the
delegation went into the convention un
pledged , and they had violated no obligation
or trust in voting as they did. Ho then
started to glvo his reasons for uelutj opposed
to Ilocho , beginning with the adventures of
the latter in Lincoln last winter , when he
was summoned to produce the poll books.
At this point ho was called to order and it
was movoJ und carried that any fuither dis
cussion of the subject bo barred nut.
The meeting then settled down to business
again ana Hocho and his lollowors with
drew.
It was whispered out loud that Hocho had
coma down with his "gang" for the purpose
of cleaning out the opposition.
Tlio club appointed Secretary Nowcomo as
n fomunttco of ono to hunt up all tha demo
crats in the ward and sco that they voted on
election any.
The secretary wn also authorized to cm-
ploy u man who Is versed In the registration
law to attend at the meetings of the regis
trars and HCO that every ono who Is entitled
to a vote Is registered. U was reported thnt
the registrars were refusing to allow Jor-
oigners to register unless they produced
their naturalization papers , whereas tbo law
provides that an oath as to the time and
place or naturalization is sufficient.
The club adjourned to meet next Tuesday
nlgut at the club rooms on Park avenue.

Tbo German democrats of the Second
ward met in Henry Mies'hall , at Sixteenth
and Williams streets , last night. John
Spoorl presided , and John Fobs acted as sec
retary. All the speeches wcro made In Ger
man. Tha principal subject discussed was
whether or not the Germans of the Second
ward should support Hoitnrod or Bnydor for
county treasurer. The latter had the strong-
cat following , but Ilonnrod had friends in
the room. The discussions wuro lively , but
good-natured.
