At the point whern the cars leave the road for the trestle It Is Alleged Ihnt the rails had flunk a little and though the forward truck * took the rails all right Ihe rear trucks did not connect and jumped the track , which en lined the forward trucks to also leave the Iron. It IB believed that If proper guard rails , had been placed on the trcstlo the car would have been prevented from toppring over. All of the persons killed auetalned frac tured skulls. William Kelly of Bridgeport , vbn was In company with MlM rarfell , c - capcd death by Jumping from the car as be felt It swaying to the Hats below. Boon afterwards the car toppled over. Ho sus tained a sovcro shock , but wan otherwise uninjured. He stated tonight that the cars were not running unusually fast , but that the car was swaying considerably when It struck the trestle anil he realized the dan ger and knew his only safety was In Jumping. Ucorgo Willis of Shclton was on the high way , not more than 100 feet from the eccne , and witnessed the car toppling over. He said that there was one unearthly shriek as It went down , and after that silence. One of the pathetic scenes was that of a lifeless baby reclining In the arms of a dead man , the Infant appearing to bo smil ing and asleep. The 3-year-old son of Mrs , J H. llugg was frantically appealing to his dead mother. His sister , 5 years oh : , bad her left arm broken. The Stratford town hall , where the bodies were taken , was soon besieged by more than 1,000 persons , some of whom had rcl < Ul\es or friends among the dead , and the deputy sherlfffl In charge had much difficulty In handling the crowd of weeping women and onxlous men. It has been ascertained that forty fares were registered and these , with the young children that did not have to pay , the motorman - man and conductor and un extra motormari , who was being taught , make the probable number on the car forty-seven.

POPULISTS NOT SATISFIED Displacement of Fish Superintendent O'Brien ' Not Enough , INSIST ON A POPULIST FOR HIS SUCCESSOR Will Carry the Controverit- the fJovernor mill Until Him Hc- HIioiiMllilc fur IIU ( 'oin- LINCOLN , Aug. 6. ( Special. ) The appointing pointing- a new superintendent of the state fish hatchery a week ago seems to have done nothing but stir up more bad blood be tween the populists and the democrats , who bavo been contending for state bouse pat ronage. The populists , It will be remem bered , have been camping for weeks and months upon the trait of former Superin tendent W. J. O'llrlcn , vowing they would got his scalp If they had to change the entire - tire personnel of the state flah commission to do so. They brought all sorts of charges against Mr. O'Brien and Insisted upon an Investigation , the outcome of which was the resignation of O'Brien , who It Is said has a lucrative position In the fcderaf fish depart ment , Into which he Is about to step. Having secured the coveted resignation , the populists naturally threw up their hats In Joy , thinking they had won out. But when the commission met the tables eecm to have been quickly turned. Most of Saunders county congregated at the door of the room In whlrli the commissioners were sitting with the demand that the place bo given to a pop ulist. There was no claim that their candi date knew anything about fish , but ho hnd been a loyal partisan , and that was taken to be sufficient qualification. It is Just hero , however , that the cog slipped. The fish commission consists of two dem ocrats , Commissioners Oberfcldcr and May , and only ono populist , Commissioner Rouse. The democrats quickly announced that if an inexperienced man was to bo placed In charge of the fish hatcheries they would prefer an Inexperienced democrat to an In experienced populist. They forthwith ap plied to the state democratic machine for eligible timber and Jim Dahlman promptly pulled out the name of Adam Sloup of Omaha , who was elected two to one. All this was done In the absence of Governor Poynter , whether Intentional or not remains to be seen , as It Is understood that the governor had promised to replace O'Brien with a pop ulist. The populists went horns with fire in their eyes. Their representative on the commis sion , Mr. Rouse , threatened to resign unless the commission were reconstructed , while the populist patriots changed their battle cry from demanding the scalp of the hatch ery superintendent to that of the two demo- cratls fish commissioners. They will prob ably bu back this week to lay their griev ances before the governor , when an exciting tlmo Is sure to materialize. I'XEUUALLY ADJUSTED. Ionil < it tliu KxpeiiNeN Unevenly Homo by ViirloiiM Coiiutlon. LINCOLN , Aug. 6. ( Special. ) The State Board of Equalization fell far short this year In Us attempt to equalize the state as sessment In the various counties. The con solidated tax statement compiled at the state auditor's office contains Interesting sta tistics , but the Inequalities that have been allowed to exist demonstrate the failure of the board to equalize the tax burden , the penalty being paid by some counties , while others receive the benefit or are taxed much less than they should be. Compared with the assessment roll of last year , ono would naturally Infer that town lots or land lying within corporate limits have been converted Into farm lands , for the total number of acres of Improved and un improved farm land reported this year ex ceeds the figures of last year by over 200- 000. However , this Is acountcd for by the fact that every year some of the counties neglect to report the lands that have been deeded to Individuals by the gov ernment within the last twelve months. This error was more common last year , consequently quently the Increase In the total acreage for 1889. The statement compiled In the auditor's office shows that the improved lands in the state amount to 16,301,388 acres , or about 1,500,000 acres less than last year , which fell about 2,000,000 lesn than the year pre vious. This discrepancy Is also accounted for by the fact that some of the counties report the Improved and unimproved lands together , while In other counties there Is a difference of opinion as to whether land that Is simply under fence Is Improved and there Is a change of acreage every year , ac cording to the Ideas of the assessors. Where a county In the -western portion of the state repo'rts the Improved and unimproved land together , It Is all placed under the head of unimproved and vice versa with such re ports from eastern counties. The unimproved land this year amounts to 15,050,65. , acres , as compared with 13,351 , . 133 acres last year. llufTnln County IeadM. The county showing the largest acreage of Improved lands is Buffalo , where the report shows 543,809 acres. Saunders comes next with 465,062 acres and Ouster with 108,139 acies. Douglas county has 17",632 acres of Improved land and Lancaster county 339,456 acres. The counties ranking highest In the valuation of Improved lands are Otoe , $2- 743,661 ; Oage. J2.630.498 ; Cass , $2,347,496 ; Douglas , $2,037,319 ; Richardson , $1.171,387 ; Lancaster , $1.703,792. The average valua tion per acre ranges from 96 cents to $11.71. Douglus county Is the highest In the list , the high average being explained by the fact that most of the Improved lands Ho adjacent to the city of Omaha , Sarpy ranks next , the average valuation In that county being $ S.3S. Perkins is the lowest , with n valuation of 96 cents. The county of Otoo has the smallest num ber of acres of unimproved land of any county In the state. Holt and Lincoln lead the list , having 995,440 and 914,296 acres re spectively. Douglas county baa 11,323 acres and Lancaster 122,582 acres. The average valuation ranges from 51 cents per acre In Keith county to $68.74 per acre in Douglus county. Another singular fact brought out by the statement Is that the taxpayers of Howard county pay taxes on more Improved lots than do the taxpayers of Lancaster , Doug las county Is far in the lead , Slrnnifo Vurlimee In Valuation. In the matter of correcting the daring errors and Inequalities ttat exist In the re ports and are a part of the mlxed-up as sessment system within the state , the an nual meeting of the State Board of Equaliza tion might well be called a farce. For in stance the average valuation of horses in Nebraska ranges from $1.76 In McPberson county to $10.87 In Douglas pounty. In point ot numbers the counties tanging highest arn Ouster , 0,557 , Oage , 16,000 ; Douglas , 10,653. Thomas county reports only 393 head. In total valuation Oage county leads , the total being $114,863. Saundera Is next with a valuation ot $100,640. In the report on cattle the Inequalities are oven more apparent. McPherson county reports an average valuation of $1.58 and Qarfleld $6.35. In total valuation Cherry county leada at $674,869 $ , with Sheridan next at $291,361 , Cherry county reports 99,771 head and Ouster 51,394 , being the two high est. Thomas has only a little over 2,000 head , Following are some of the totals for all counties In the state : Cattle , 1,898,752 head ; value , $8,973,540 ; average , $4.72. $ Mules and f < \i ' 45,563 head ; value , $301,125 ; average , $6t $ > u , Sheep , 381,367 bead ; value , $238,401 ; average , 62 cents.

Deputy Insurance Commissioner Bryant will address the Kpworth league at Lincoln park next Tucaday on the subject of tem perance. In former years Mr. Bryant was a strong advocate of tcmpsrance , and ho Is jet , but ho has changed his Ideas regard ing the practicability of making Nebraska a dry state. For not adhering to bis former sentiments In a speech delivered some months ago Mr. Bryant was severely criti cised by some of his colleagues , who have accused him of abandoning n good cause. He had changed his thoughts on the nub- Jcct on account of the change In conditions. Mr. Bryant's speech will doubtless attract attention , as ho has always been regarded ono of the strongest oupportors of the tem perance causa In Nebraska , Yestelday was temperance day at the As sembly grounds and the campers were given an opportunity of listening to Mrs. Eugenia St. John and ex-Governor St. John on the question. The services at the grounds today con sisted of preaching and music. The sermon of the day was delivered by Bishop McCabe - Cabe of Texas. There were no services at the Methodist churches In Lincoln and the largo gathering at itho park was reinforced by hundreds of worshippers from the city. This afternoon there was a. song service In the tabernacle , followed by a sermon on "Tho Organized Church and the Organized Saloon , " by Presiding Elder William Oorst , and "Tho Crime of Ages , " by Charles M. Shepherd , D. D. The assembly management adopted a rule several days ago prohibiting the , sale of tickets on Sunday. It was discovered later that , as the park and the assembly were open to the public , the rule would bo Inef fective it anyone chose to demand admis sion. The sale ot tickets was not conducted openly , but people from the city found no difficulty In securing them near the gates. Ilecentliin ( o Coniiniiy V , MADISON , Neb. , Aug. G.

( Special. ) One of the hardest fought contests In democratic conventions In the county occurred yes terday In the county democratic convention , In which there were two aspirants to con trol delegate * * to bo sent to the Judicial dis trict convention , where each sought the nomination of Judge of this Judicial dis trict. Edward Bates , the present district Judge , wanted renomlnatlon for the third term , and Charles Gilbert , a brother ot Lieutenant Governor Gilbert , was solicited by his friends to make a run. The con vention soon got down to business and In- otructed Its delegates to vote for Charles Gilbert. Bates' defeat means a disruption of the party and It looks very much as If there may bo both a democrat and populist nomlnco this fall. .Ien > r on Iteiiiiullenii Convention.

NOTES OF THE CRICKETERS Imvlnh Entertainment " \VliiN the Ileartn of Anicrlcann oil Their Visit to Winnipeg. The International games In Winnipeg are now things of the past , but the memories of the magnificent welcome accorded the American representatives will long live In the hearts of those who were fortunate enough to participate therein. Omaha "did Itself proud" In Its endeavor to entertain Us visitors of a year ago , but Its 'beat efforts In this line could not begin to compare with the magnificent reception bestowed upcn the American cricketers. Philadelphia , with all the means at Its command , could not outdo the pralrlo city In overwhelming hospitality. Words can hardly express how grateful the American cricketers ars to Cap tain Williams and hta stalwart Dragoons. Ono of the visiting teams remarked on the return journey : "I am a member of many social organizations and have attended functions Innumerable , but these soldier- sergeants cap anything In the way of loyal good fellowship I have over run up against. Why , sir , those fellows must have to go broke for > weeks 'before ' they can recoup themselves for the expenses Incurred In giving what has been to me , at anyrato the best tlmo of my life. " That their repu tation Is not confined to the boundaries of their own country Is evidenced 'by the /act that the Chicago captain on stepping off the train Inquired If Sergeant Hilly Dyer was around. It may be stated that Captain Davles had never scea the warrior of the ruddy countenance. An affirmative reply elicited the response , "Oh , well , then , we shan't want for anything whllo hero ! " And surely after events fully bore out his con tention , Alas ! It will bo many a day before wo meet such a whole-souled body of men as the Royal Canadian Dragoons. While on the subject of the ealdlcrs , an amusing Incident happened some few days before the arrival of the cricketers. Some 300 members of the American Editorial as sociation arrived In the city from the west , and among other places of Interest visited the barracks. The men wore all out at "riding school" at the time and their full drees uniforms wore laid out on their beds preparatory to a full drees parade sched uled for the afternoon , The right of the brilliant scarlet with Its bravo array of but tons was too much for the American women. They tumbled over ono another In Ihclr mad haste to carry off moro trophies than were ever captured from a British regiment before. Their victory was complete , with no ono to say them nay save the regimental mascot , which WDH the only living object j to meet the men's gaze upon their return. Ho was contentedly munching the remains of a mighty switch , his only proof that ho had done hlh 'best to stall off the attack of the aniazonn. Needless to relate , there was no parade that afternoon. Speaking In H general way. Omaha had no rearon to be ashamed of Its showing In the tournament. Going to Winnipeg with a de pleted team and three men short at that , and with sutxitltutca who unfortunately never came off , they came out of the fray with no little honor to themselves and credit to the town they came from. They fell before Chicago's superior prowess , gained a virtual win over the crack Manitoba team and trounced Minnesota tea a standstill , Perhaps the meet noticeable feature of tbe week's cricket , from an Omaha point of view , was the splendid all- AVOID HEAT PROSTRATION r < - the WOULD I'AMOl'.S llcnl - , lira I ii anil .Verve Tonic , ALL DIU'OGIBTS.

They forced the howling with the utmost confidence and when aggressive tactics were needed they did not fall to employ them. Tufflcld kept wickets JIH we have never seen him keep them before , and his marvcfouH pluck In keeping on after those two terrific slaps In the eye from Date was much commented on by the Manltobnns. The women of the Omaha parly were most royally entertained by the Hoclety dames of Winnipeg , The representatives of the Manitoba Cricket itfcsoclatlon wore most lavlbh In their attentions to the visitors , and the thajiltB of the Omaha club are tpcclally due to Mr , W. M , Dammtyne , the secretary , for his untiring zeal In catering to the com forts of the Americans. How our men man aged to stand the strain of n week's cricket combined with a irontlnuert round of gaiety such ita has never been participated In by western cricketers before , IB a matter of mystery , hut titrangly enough , the cricket Iniproted day by day nnd the climax was reached on the last day of the International match , when by magnificent fielding , which has never been equalled In America , the rep resentatives of Undo Sam pulled off the great fixture by the bare majority of two rutifl before au impartial1 crowd of thousands of spectators who cheered the Yankees to the echo for their splendid vUtory. The only two souvenirs presented during the tournament wcro won by Omaha rep resentatives , Kohlnson receiving a splendid dressing case1 for his great batting per formances , while Date was Ihe recipient o { a gold cigarette case and matchbox for mak ing the record In American cricket by bowlIng - -forty-nlno balls without a run being scored off him , and during that lima four wlcketa fell to him.
