COLLISION ON MOTOR LINE
Northwestern Freight Train Backs Into
Oar nod Overturns It.
W , B , WESTCOTT OF THE BEE BADLY HURT
He lln Ponrleeni Teeth Knocked Out
mill SiiMtnlnM Severe Intermit In-
Jurlen Two Other reman *
Injured.
A rather serious accident occurred at the
crossing of the Northwestern railway on
Broadway at 10 o'clock last evening , which
resulted In tljo overturning and pa'tlal
wrecking of one of the lurge motor cars
and Injury of a number of the passengers.
The motor train was In charge of Con
ductor Arthur Oalucs and Motorman W. H.
Hennescy. The train was returning from
Omaha and had stopped at the railway crossIng -
Ing In accordance to the regulations. Con
ductor Galncs had gone ahead to ascer
tain If the track was clear and not otscrv-
Ini ; any approaching tralna , gave the signal
to go ahead. When the motor car had
reached the center of the network of rail
way tracks ho perceived coming out ot the
darkness a freight ttaln backing down.
There was no light on the freight cars and
the conductor claims 'that If ho saw It at
( 'II ho supposed It to bo a bunch ot cars
standing on a sidetrack. Before the mistake
could < bo discovered and rectified the motor
train was on the track and was struck by
the backing care. The motor train waa
barely moving and the freight train was run
ning at a very slow speed , and the collision
resulted In gently overturning the motor car.
There were eleven passengers In the car , nine
men nnd two women , and when the car was
overturned all of them were thrown with
great violence against the lower side of
the car and all more or leas hurt.
H. B. Westcott , a reporter for The Bee ,
was on the train returning from Omaha
to bin homo In this city and waa the most
seriously hurt. Ho was sitting ou the
north side of the car and when the tumble
came ho was thrown upon the opposite
side , striking with great force upon his head.
When taken out ho was found to bo stunned
and partially unconscious. An examination
showed that fourteen teeth had been
Itnuckcd out and ho had received severe
Internal Injuries.
Eugene Ingoldeby sustained a slight scalp
wound whcro his head came In contact with
the glass. Ho was sitting on the south
side ot the car and had but little distance
to fall and would have escaped Injury al-
t.uifelher If one of the passengers on the
upper side had not fallen upon him. Only
one of the women , Miss White , of 109 South
First street , was hurt , and her Injuries were
confined to bruises about the knees. Both
the women were placed In hacks and sent
to their homes. The Injuries to the other
passengers were confined to slight scratches
and contusions. The passengers were com
pelled to walk the entire length of the car
over the broken glass before they , could get
out.
out.Tho
The damage to the motor was confined
almost wholly to smashed windows and
scarred paint. Motorman Henneeey re
mained at his post and was the last man
to leave the car. The shock of the oolll-
nlon was felt by the engineer In the cob
of the switch engine and ho Instantly ap
plied the brakes and reversed his engine ,
olrerwlae the accident might have had fatal
characteristics.
The motor company endeavored to locate
the responsibility for the accident last night ,
but did not altogether succeed. Conductor
dalnea claims that he gave the motorman
the elgnal to stop in ample time to avoid
the collision and the motorman claims that
ho received no signal to stop.
Inquiry at the home ot Mr. Westcott at
11 o'clock last night elicited the Information
that ho was In the care of physicians , who
had not been able to determine- full ex-
of hid Injuries.

Ilex 11 It of the Prlntnrle * Saturday
Mltlit UimetN CiilculntloiiH.
The result of the republican primaries on
Saturday night continue to be subjects of
much discussion. Not in recent history of
the republican party In Council Bluffs has
there been such an outpouring ot voters at
the primaries. It was a noticeable fact that
hundreds of voters were present who bad
not been In the habit of attending primary
elections , and all of these were extremely
anxious to assist In selecting the delegates
for the city convention. It was also notice
able that there was a largo number of voters
present and taking an active Interest who
have been for years acting with the other
parties. In only a few Instances were the
regular sets of delegates selected by the
party managers carried by the votes at the
primaries.
There has been a disposition to change the
arrangements made early in January which
provided for the renomlnatlon of nearly all
of the present city officers to the positions
they now occupy with the exception of
Mayor Carson , who was to be given the po
sition of Judge of the superior court , the
best office within the gift of the city repub
licans. Other strong aspirants have since ap
peared for this place and about all ot the
other places. Senator N. M. Pusey Is a
strong candidate for the Judgeshlp , and will
go Into the convention with a strong back-
Ing. Hazclton , who was to be given another
term , which would be his fourth , as city
solicitor , is now compelled to face the com
bined opposition ot at least halt a dozen en
thusiastic aspirants , chief among whom are
H. J. Chambers , C. O. Wheeler , G. W.
Scott. W. S. Balrd and A. W. Askwlth. Each
of these candidates undoubtedly has suc
ceeded In securing a largo following and a
corresponding number of delegates In the
convention , which makes it a free-for-all
fight to the end.
For mayor the candidates are fully as
numerous. The arrangements that have met
the approval of a number of the party man
agers provides for the nomination of Dr. H.
B. Jennings. Ho has , however , encountered
a great deal of opposition at the start which
will not bo quieted. A good deal of this op
position comes from the friends of Alexan
der Wood , a strong candidate whom the re
publicans of the First ward have put for
ward for the mayoralty. The chief part of
the fight In the First ward primaries arose
over the prestige Mr. Wood had gained as
a candidate , and the feeling has resulted in
creating two factions In that ward which
admit of no compromise. This adds another
element of uncertainty to the result of the
convention. The friends of both Jennings
and Wood were working very hard all over
the city yesterday endeavoring to arrange
matters with the delegates , with the ad
vantage claimed to be somewhat in favor of
Wood.
Concerning the offices of treasurer and
city auditor there Is less doubt ot the re
sult than in any others. Both of the present
Incumbents , J. A. Gorham and W. I * Evans
will certainly bo rcnomlnated.
The same rule w Intended to apply to
the city engineer' * office and MrTostovln
was scheduled to go in again without oppo
sition , the republicans relying upon the
eplendld record for economy and efficiency
he has made ; but within a 'few days an
other candidate , E. W. BUnchard. has
arlaen and was able to marshal ufflclcnt
strength to get some of hli friends on the
delegations selected on Saturday night. Mr.
OlaDchard U at preient engaged on Up z-
position work In Omaha , but has had many
years of experience as a practical engineer ,
chiefly , however , In the construction of rail
ways. Ho was one ot thu engineers who laid
out the lines of the Oregon Short Line.
The ward nSmlnhlltns for the council
made at the prlmarfes on Saturday night
appear to give general satisfaction , but the
selection of Lewis Hammer In the First
ward was the only nomination that was
made without A stiff fight.
OIIJKCTIOX ! } KIMCD AO.tTxST PAVI.\ .
Soernl Pronertj- Owner * Mnkc n
Korclhle Kirk to the Council ,
A rather formidable protest was presented
at the meeting of the city council last night
against the proposed repavement of Fourth
street. Property owners on the street hav
ing a total frontage ot 2,231 'feet objected to
the improvement upon the grounds that the
present condition ot the street was such
that It could be used for a few year's ' yet
and that it was advisable to wait until ex
perience had taught which was the best
material to be used for street paving : In
this city. A simitar protest was lodged
by residents on Willow avenue , who rcprc-
eent EDO feet frontage. Several of the citi
zens were present to back uptheir protest
by the necessary argument , but the council
removed the occasion for It by referring the
protests to the committee of the whole ,
when all of the members of the council will
visit ' ( ho street In a body and hear all ol
the complnlnty of the property owners. The
number of residents who favor the paving
will Join the original petitioners In the re
quest that the pavement bo laid at once.
No date was fixed for the scsrlon of 'the
committee of the whole , but the visit will
probably be some time this week.
Some time was spent by the council In
discussing the regular monthly bills that
were not passed upon at the preceding meet-
Ins. The bill of the gas and electric lightIng -
Ing companies for February , amounting tc
$1,021.77 , was objected to on account of the
finance committee not being able to agree
with the companies on the amount to be de
ducted for outage of lamps during the
month. It was agreed , however , to allow
$900 of the bill and refer the remainder tc
the committee on claims for adjustment.
The council was notified that all of the
Insurance on the hose houses and fire fight
ing apparatus had expired , and Alderman
Shubert opposed the renewal of the poli
cies , declaring that If the fire department
was wet able to protect Its own property It
was time the city should find It out. ThU
suggestion met the hearty approval of Alder
man Casper , who called attention to the facl
that ho had been trying for two years to
cut oft ths ! expense. The proposition thai
for this year at least the city should carrj
ltd own Insurance was concurred In by all
of the members of the council.
The sidewalk contract of Sherman 3.
Hardln was presented and approved , despite
the fact that there was some opposition tc
awarding contracts where there was but one
Didder.
C. II. E. Borden , an attorney of Marshall'
town. la. , presented a proposition to the
council to revise Its paving and public im
provement ordinances to make them comply
with the requirements of the new law anil
guaranteed to do the work In such a man
ner that the city would he free from all
liability in the matter. The council decldei !
that Its own city attorney was competent tc
do the work , and passed a resolution In
structing him to look Into the matter al
once. i
L. A. Devlno was granted permission tc
erect some sign boards on Twelfth street
nn unuficd thoroughfare that has been par
tially fenced up by the Northwestern rail-
wuy company , and accepted his proposltlor
to keep the street free from weeds as ac
equivalent for the privilege.
A resolution was passed protesting agslnsl
the removal of the olficlal residence of the
United States marshal from thla city tc
De6 Mollies , anil calling upon the congres
sional delegation to secure the rescinding
of the order K possible.

DE9 MOINES , March 7. ( Special tele
gram , ) ) The opposition to the board of con
trol bill Is not dying as easily as had been
expected after the signal victory wcti for the
measure on Saturday. The measure came up
at the opening of the afternoon session and
was debated for two hours , without a vote
being taken on a single proposition. Senator
Lewis or Poweshlek offered a substitute for
section 1 of the bill. The committee's section
provided that nominations for places on the
board bo made , by the governor and con
firmed by a two-thirds majority of the ecn-
ate after reference to a committee of five.
The substitute provides that the board shull
be elected by the house and ecnate , In Joint
.convention , without nominations by the gov
ernor. Lewis spoke In favor of the meas
ure and was followed , by Ranck , who , stating
that he was In favor of the amendment ,
moved that It go over till the rtjxt day for
cciislderation , so that It could be printed In
the Journal and given careful consideration
by the members. Junkln , for the friends of
the bill , oppcscJ such a procedure ; ho de
manded action at once. Mullan favored let
ting the matter go over ; he , too , Is opposed
to the bill. Titus spoke at length along the
same Itucs end Incidentally replied to uoaie
of the scathing criticisms that Senator Healy
bad Indulged la , of himself and other op
ponents of the measure. He declared that
the committee scheme of confirmation would
make a political machine , composed of the
lieutenant goveroir and the five members o
the special senate committee on confirmation ,
such as Tammany might be proud to have
Invented ; It would be a machine for politi
cal power such us the state had never known.
Pusey opposed delay and Eaton made a
strcng speech favoring It. -
At 4 o'clock , when the senate adjourned
by limitation , the debate was atlll In
progress. Tonight a bitter fight la In
progress In the hotel lobbies , where most of
the senators are gathered , discussing the
bill. The effort Is being made by Knock , the
veteran democrat of the senate , to line up his
party associates In favor of the Lewis amend ,
ment. If ho should succeed It would make
the votq very close ; but ho had apparently
made little progress at a late hour. The In
stitutions are beginning to show the hand of
opposition to the bill and It Is plain that the
fight Is gotag to be a hard one. The prophe
cies of getting the measure passed In the
senate In three daya are withdrawn and many
believe It will take the entire week. The
house practically agreed today to postpone
consideration of the bill till after the senate
Is done with It.
MONBV FOR EXPOSITION.
The house committee on appropriations ,
after a rather animated st-pslon this evening ,
voted to recommend an additional appropria
tion of $30,000 for the Omaha exposition. A
few members manifested a disposition to
play the cheese paring act , but they were an
Inconsiderable minority. The commlttee'B
action , If supported In the senate , will pro
vide n total appropriation of $40,000 , the
commission having already received $10,000.
The original bill asked a total of $47,400.
This amount was voluntarily cut $5,000 by
the committee on the strength of new esti
mates showing a possible reduction of that
amount in the cost of the building. Thus
the 'house' ' committee appropriation Is but
$2,400 less than that demanded. 'Representa
tive Potter of Pottawattamlo county , who
introduced the appropriation bill , was highly
gratified and stated tonight that Iowa would
be able to make an excellent exhibit. The
bill Is almost certain to pass the house , as
It will command -eloquent support on the
floor.

CHICAGO , M rch 7. William Ryan's visit
to a dying brother was cut short today by
Octrcttvrs , win arrested him for robbery.
The arrest was mtulo In response to a tele
gram from the chief ot police of Omaha.
Detectives found Ryan at his brother's home ,
5COO Center avenue. The police do not know
any details and Ryan denies thit ho Is
guilty. The prisoner's brother , John Ryan ,
Is slowly dying of consumption.
Ryan probably will toe allowed to remain
In Chicago until Jita brother's death , which
Is hourly expected.
William Ryan Is wanted In Omaha for
the burglary of the residence of Mrs. EfTlo
Kelly , 920 North Twenty-second street , on
the night of December 19 last. In company
with three men and two women Ryan Is said
to have broken Into the house during the
absence of Mrs. Kelly and to have stolen a
fur cape. $30 In money and two hats. The
g&ng was cornered In a house hi the same-
neighborhood by Dctcctlvre Hudson and Sui-
llvan and a desperate fight ensued. The
party was finally overpowered and arrested
with the exceptions of Ryan and John , alias
"Shandy , " Campbell , who made their escape
through a rear window. Campbell was ar
rested In this city a few days ago , was dis
charged on a complaint charging burglary
and has been rcarreatcd on the charge of
accetsory after the fact.
U Is thought that the same parties were
Implicated In the burglary ot Baldwin's gro
cery store on North Twenty-fourth street.
In this case five bolts of linen were stolen
and the women arc thought to have taken
active part In breaking open the store and
carrying away the goods. The latter are
Naomi Alphman and Jane Anderson , both ot
whom are awaiting trial before the district
court. Ralph Messersmith and John Murphy ,
other members of the crowd , are likewise
awaiting trial.
The defense set up by them shifts the
Maine on < ho shoulders' Ryan , the nun
arrested yesterday , and the police have evl-
jt > p.nco that ho was the man who sold the
cloak for $1.25 to a second-hand dealer.
Detective Donahue left last night to bring
Ryan back to Omaha.
