crow were oncncod In making un n
freight train 111 the yards near the
round house. On one of tbo tracks
there wcro six cars and n short distance
down the same iraek wcro ihioo moro
cars. Tne engine backed down upon tbo six
cars with such force that thov wcro pro
pelled rapidly toward the other threo.
O'Uourko with several of his companions
started "o cross the track * between the two
groups of curs Just nt Iho moment. Some of
the men saw ttio danger nnd bold back.
O'Hourko did not stop , howoser. nnd when ho
was on tbo track ho stumbled and foil
directly In fiont cf the moving car' . Ho en-
donvou-d to crawl or roll off the track , but
before ho could do BO the cars were upon
him. Three can pissed ontli civ over his
bodv , mangling it in n frightful manner.
Ho llvca but n low moment * .
O'Uourke was an unmarried man 24 your *
old nnd lived wllb n mntricd sislor at 900 U
Btrcel , His mother also lived with him , aud
the news of her sou's sudden nnd terrible
death almost uroslratcd her The Inquest
was held todnv nnd the Jury returned n ver
dict In neronimico with Iho fact * ns above
staled. No blame wosaltachcd to nnyonofot
tbo accident , n * in the minds of the Jurors It
\vas unavoidable under the circumstances.
\Viiut n Depot at Clinton.
Clinton is the name of n small towr. on the
line of the Ulkhorn iu Sheridan county. It
Has n bank , school bouse , several general
stores and a number of tbrlftv. enterprising
citizens. The latter have come to the Stiuc
Board of Transportation with a wetilion fern
n depot and warehouse facilities. They as
sert in their paltlion lhat. their town is lo
cated tn the midst of n well settled agricultural -
tural communllv , and thnt during the u.isl
year a large amount of grain und other oro-
ducls was shipped from the pliico. Thcj
olsn-allege ibnl the amount of merchandise
shipped in and out of the lown is consider
able , nnd lhat U the board pleases , thoj
* vould like , a now depot to do business in ,
Under the present arrangement they ure
compelled to go to either Gordot
or Kushvillo when they want to se
euro an empty car , nnd tbis fncl
always causes a delay of from U\enty-foui
to seventy-two hours. Thevassert thai lues
hnvo appealed to General Mnnagor Burtfoi
relief , but that ofllclal answer * that tb <
small amount , of business dona at Clinton
will not justify the expense of erecting nuc
maintaining a depot at present. The socro

nnprouching election. Nona werj Illecl and
the vacancy In the mavor's ofllco caused by
the death of Mayor Miller will not bo lilted
by election until next April.
The unanimous suntlment among the people -
plo all along has been thai Iho best interests
o the citv will bu served by not holdlnr an
election this tail. Mayor U alters Is thor-
ouchlv familiar wilb'tbo workings of tbo
municipal macnlnorv mid his administration
will vary but llttlo from iho course laid out
bv iho Into maVnr when ho assumed the
duties of chief magistrate of South Omaha.
There will bn no chungo in the niipomteei
of Mavor Millfcr und everything will run
smnoihlv along. The election of n council
man from tbo Fourth ward is ono of Ibo
matters lhat will occupy iho council's titlcm-
tton. This councilman will boelected to
fill Mayor Walter's uncxpirod term. Can
didates are not vrrv numerous , and In fact
no nno has bcon positively mentioned for the
plnco. This mallor has been lost , sight of in
the uncertainty whether them would bo nil
election of mavor this full , and now Ihnt the
question is settled , candidates for the posi
tion will probably bob up , as there has never
been a time within the city's history when
a municipal office went begging , and espec
ially is a seat Iu the council much sought
after.

Carried Into lllTect ,
Governor Boyd objects to bcinc at down
upon , and ho Is not willing to nil rait that the
notion ot the democratic state central com
mittee on Thursday ovonintr is ODOO to that
construction. It rtrlovei htm , furthermore ,
tn have the situation lhu& presented to the
people of the stale.
Ho catco up from the capital oily Friday
owning to witness tLe antics ot Paul Kosa in
the ihcsplau nataco that bnrs the guberna
torial name , and betv/eon the acts ho found
tlmo to express tils views on ibo political
situation , both as connected with the action
of the comtnlUL'O and aside from It. llo
said Ibat ho had not been barred out from
tbo commlUeo meeting , and that oa the oon-
trary bo had received several Invltallous
from the members of the committee to bo
present and participate hi their delibera
tions. Ho would say , hoivcvcr , that no In
vitation hnd bon extended to him by Mr.
Martin. How he could have gotten Into the
meeting without that Invitation , In vlnw of
the order Issued by Mr. Martin denying ud-
tnlttnnco to all except on Invitation of tha
coinmltteomnn from their district , the cov-
cruordld not explain. Ho did siy thit it
uns not hU Intention or dcsiro to bo present ,
us ho had another engagement and luf t the
bolol bolero the mooting of the comuiitteo
was collid to ordor.
Ho could not ngroo with the published re-
pan of ibn proceedings In anothar oarticu-
lar , as be was certain , lhat so far from being
opposed to him and the plan of political nro-
coduro that ho hnd manpcd out , the commit
tee was "wid ' 1m. " The whole plan as
being followed out by tbo committee and Ibo
party generally throughout tha stato. ho de
clared to be exactly as laid out by him
montbs ago. and nloug the line lhat ho was
still working and along which bo had nd-
vlsed the Ljtnuiitlce and all other democrats
to work.
lllirmmtlntts Ileyonil l\prrnslon.
Ho said tha' ho bad bcon consulted by
nearly every member of the committee as to
the action that should bo pursued at Thurs
day evening's moatlng/ond that the result of
their deliberations was In strict accordance
in every particular with what ho had ad
vised. Ho denied thnl there was nnv ma
terial opposition to him within the partv. and
insisted that tbo Intensity of dcmocr.ulo
harmony iu this state ut the present time Is
something well Mich unspeakable.
He discussed the relative strength of the
parties in Nebraska and said that there \1s
no question but that the republicans had a
clean plurality of from 5,000 to 8.000. Ho
thought thai the republican state ticket baa
a little the best of the outlook at the present
timo. Ho was willing to go on record as
slating that the Weaver electoral ticket
would carry the state by 25.000. Ho said
that bo bad , paid no attention to the con
gressional light iu any of the districts , as ho
was dovollnc himself" the electoral and
legislative lights. Ho was certain that
neither party would have a majority in tha
next legislature on joint ballot , and that the
democrats would have the largest following
and thn republicans the least.
Ho called attention to the fact that neither
Martin nor Castor could spiak with any
authority regarding the wishes ot ibo na
tional committee , und explained It on the
ground that the authority was delegated In
nimsnlf. So far as the distribution ol
nutronago was concerned , 'bo said that bo
did not want uny of it , as It was a lhanuloss
honor at neat , and created an endless amount
of ill-feeling and enmity.
I'roml of Ills Prophecy.
Ono thing to which ho could "point with
pride" was a copv of bis letter to Cleveland ,
written two years ace , stating that Nebraska
would not cast her vote for the republican
nominee at this presidential election. He
wrote that "white it will bo impossible to
throw tbo vote of tbo state to the democratic
nominee , we will take Nebraska out of the
republican column , " and ho wanted credit
for being tbo raost sagacious political
propbot in this part of the country.
Ho congratulated himself because he was
out ot tbo list of political aspirants
and asserted that tbero was not i
thing In the political world that hevantoJ ,
hut not a word did ho aav as to wbv ho con
sidered himself fortunate" In wanting'noth.

The exodus of clerks from the government
departments to take part iu the election
will not bo so grc.1t as was promised at first.
About CuO Now Yorkers have couo homo ,
and n great many Indiana and Connecticut
pcoplo nro on their way. Tha Treasury de
partment , which is Iho greatest political do
parituent ot the government , shows the gen
eral laxity that scorns to prevail. Ot the
thousands ot men from all parts of the coun
try employed In the various bureaus but 2SI
have since October 1 applied for loaves of
absence , and if400 apply now they will bo a
very largo norcmilngo. Thnro are less thun
X < 0 clerks iu iho Navy department nnd loss
Hum llfiy will go homo. In tha State depart-
iiiotit tno total iiuinbttr of clerks employed Is
far below SOO ; the proportion Icuviug will bo
less.
less.Thn
Thn War department has on Its rolls the
r.umes of-I0-i persons , the largest bureau
being tbat ot iho nlllco of the record and
pension division , wnlch aggregates tsV.l pee
ple. Ii is estimated that not moro thin l&O
will voto. In the other bureauno lnfornia
tiou could bo had , ulthougu nil thought there
would bo a moro general moving out as the
dav of election approached. Ibero are 'Ml
males employed In iho patent otllce , and of
IhcsollSbavo signified tboir intention of
going home. In ibo land onlco IboinnroCbO
men nt wont , und uerlmos luOof these will be
abtcui for iho same purpose. In the Postoftlco
department 400 men draw a salarv and not
moio than 150 will go homo for the sth.
'Ihu census ofllco will fornIsh its quota of
voles , but the number is still uncertain. Ou
the rolls of the pension oftlco tbero are tbo
names of 1,000 men , of whom up to October
33 , 101 bad nsltod mid obtained leave. A
bead of ono of tbo divisions slated that ho
thought the total number might be placed at
2.7J , wblio u well known louublicau clerk
and politician said ho was positive uOO of the
men would Icuva the city for Iho week ot tbo
election. Tno government printing oIMce is
full of voung men who inaku good wii es and
who like to get a cbanco to leave town.
There are 1,400 ot them , or about one-half of
nil the employes , but leas lhan 400 will bo
away irom their work end ono-fourlh of
Ibat number have already shaken , the dust of
Washington from their feel.
Within Iho next week bo'woen thirtv and
forty loxva men from Washington will go to
tbat state to cast their ballots in Iho First
district for Governor Gear. Altogether there
are about 140 men from Iowa who go homo to
vote , most of them being in the First dis
trict whore their votes are badly needed.

General S. S. Yodor , who has just re
turned from Connecticut , is moro honest
than tbo average democrat tn summarizing
the situation in that state. Ho snys : "Con
necticut Is very doubtful , and it really would
not surprise mo if its electoral vote went to
Harrison. " General Yoder savs that ho
found northern Now York looming with
politics. HP believes that Cleveland will
carrj New York.
Ho also counts New Jersey for Cleveland ,
but says : "The party Is In bad shape in
Now Jersey and it seems annoyingly sure
that wo shall lose the governor. "
