SALISBURY. England, July 1. A short
distance out of Salisbury begins a remark
able curve which some times has been de
scribed as the most dangerous In the world
and which certainly possesses elements of
danger. Not only does the line leave the
station on a curve, but where It crossea
Flsherto etreet the line takea a slight rise.
It was practldally at this point that the en
gine Jumped the rails and brought about
a disaster, both aa regards the percentage
of lives lost and the extent of the damage
to rolling stock, almost without precedent
in the history of British railway accidents,
especially of boat expreaaes.
At tha scene of the catastrophe there are
Ave lines of rails. . Two are main lines,
two others are devoted to local traffic, and
the firth Is a siding. Of these live lines
only two were occupied at the time of the
accident. A milk train laden with empty
carts was leisurely entering the station In
the opposite direction to the express, while
at the entrance of the siding waa a sol
itary locomotive ready to furnish any serv
ice the milk train' might require.
The directions to engine drivers over this
portion of the line Is not to exceed ft speed
of thirty miles an hour, but It Is alleged
that calculations baaed on the times at
which different signal boxes were passed
showed that this speed was exceeded. Un
fortunately both the engineer and the stok-r
are dead and therefore it may be difficult
to obtain reliable evidence as to the speed
the train was running when the accident
occurred.

(From a Stslt Correspondent.)
LINCOLN. July 1. (Ppeclal ) Tomorrow
Governor Mickey probably will Anally pass
upon the report made to him of the in
vestigation of the charges against Super
intendent Alden snd Assistant Nicholson
of the Norfolk Insane asylum by the mem
bers or the Board of Public Lands and
Buildings. Dr. Alden and Dr. Nicholson
have been notified to be present and answer
some more questions which the governor
desires to ask, but It Is not known whether
either will avail himself of this last op
portunity to make good before the chief
executive.
Not the least doubt exists but what th
governor will stick to his demand for Dr.
Alden to get out of the Institution and
it la more than probable Dr. Nicholson
will also be again told to get out. Just
how the governor Intends to enfotce his
demand is not known, though it is gen
erally understood here the two physicians
will stay In the Institution until forced
out. The governor realises if the doctors
appesl to the courts his term of office
will have expired before ft final decision
Is reached, and because of this he may
adopt heroic measures to get rid of his
two appointees.
In his desire to remove the two men,
Governor Mickey hss the earnest sympa
thy of Treasurer Mortensen, while the
other members of the board seem to sym
pathise with the doctors and are opposed
to the action of the governor. This dis
agreement is liable to cause some trouble
in the future, because the rovernor has
his bak up and Is firmly of the opinion
the members of the board, with the ex
ception of Treasurer Morteneen, have not
treated him fairly. The governor main
tains his reaaons for ordering the resigna
tion of the two-officials are not personal,
but he based his action on the showing
made to him, and what he did, he says,
was for the good of the state and for the
protection of the Inmates of the asylum.
Lose Clear oi Salltvaa.
The news dispatches published this morn
ing that Judge J. J. Sullivan and Mrs.
Sullivan had actually sailed from Boston
for the old country will cause a number of
cigars and such things to change hands,
as wagers were numerous around Lincoln
and the state house that the former chief
Justice would back out at the last minute
and not make the trip. This supposition
was based on the former action of Judge
Sullivan. One who knows, said the Judge
and Mrs, Sullivan had contemplated this
trip for a number of years, but at the
last minute the judge had always backed
out. This party aaid:
"A few years ago Judge and Mrs. Sulli
van had all their arrangements made to go;
had packed their trunks and had loaned
their cow to a neighbor, and had made ar
rangements to get the chickens fed during
their absence.
"They boarded the train and got to New
Tork and had arranged for their passage,
and were juat about ready to board the
Vessel, Judge Sullivan turned to hla wife
and said:
" 'It's mighty nice and pleasant right
here, don't you think.'
"Mrs. Sullivan evidently thought like
the Judge, for he oontinued: . '
'Well, suppose we don't go; It Is mighty
safe on land and you can't tell about the
water.'
'The next year and the next and for years
since then Judge Sullivan has planned this
trip, but each time he got afraid of the
water and decided not to go. It must have
been the presence of Judge Sedgwick that
ept him nerved up this tlme Incidentally,
lost a box of cigars when he boarded the
vessel."
