Mructltn WAS responsible ( or the accident.
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.

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.

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 ;

Deputy Insurance Commissioner Bryant
will address the Kpworth league at Lincoln
park next Tucaday on the subject of tem

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.

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.

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-

great stand made by Douglas and Reynolds
against the almost Invincible trundlcrs of

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

ing the record In American cricket by bowlIng -
-forty-nlno balls without a run being
scored off him , and during that lima four

to give a moro detailed account of the doings '
of our men. In the meantime here's a health
