bo found in tho Slack Hills Is wholly
a matter of speculation, hut candidly, speaking, I
should thluk a good deaf Tho cxoUcm uof gold there
has long been known to our uilleon, but little waa said
about It, because It was locked up m a reservation. Our
aoldlura aro not anxious to light Indiana and got killed

enough to compensate one for tho glory of risking hU

from tho trestle bridge Ju"t‘tcyoml, felling Z5 foet.
Tho engineer am! fireman saved themselves by Jninji*
log. Ono brakeman wu carried over with the core,
hut escaped without Fcriou" Injury. Tbo engine ami
cars were badly wrecked. Fifty-three rattle were killed
or fatally injured, while fifty-one were taken out ulivo
nnd eutiml. Next beyond the cars which went over,
was tho freight-conductor's car, with baggage and pas
senger cars behind, tho latter occupied by Plunkett's
Dramatic Company and other passenger*. On ex
amination It waa found that the space lor the flanges
at tho wagon-crusting, between the ph-uking and roll*,
had been filled with closely-fitting piece« of Hard tim

the extra, Tho express was tho only regular train on
the road that day, and tho movement could not have
been expected. Huspldon In each of (ho three In
stances referred to attaches to a resident nf the
neighborhood, but proof is lucking. If (bo
express train coming east had been
thrown front tho track there It would have went over
another trestle work-ll) feet high, and loss of life of
train-men and passengers would have been Inevitable,

fix, Paut., Minn., April t'.'.—Yesterday a special
train going west on tho Sioux City Hoad waa thrown
from the track nest Mankato by obstruction* wedged
lictwccu the rails and planks of a ruad-cronxiug. The
train consisted of six catllr-cars, n caboose, baggage
car, oml passenger-ear, with Plunkett's theatrical com
pany. Tho casualty occurred between two trestles.
The train had crossed the first trestle, 7fr.» feet
lona, and was running slowly, approaching tho
shorter trestle of 100 feet, when (he engine was thrown
from the track, hut before the train could tie stoppc.l,
the trestle was struck and sent to the bottom of tho
ravine. Tho locomotive and catlle-cars followed,
ho'ug filed ono upon another In u confused mass, but
tho cuhauso and passenger-ear stopped on the brink.
Fifty three cattle were killed end several train-nun
badly injured. Tho obstruction was undoubtedly in
tended to throw (ho Omaha express, which wau to pass
*oon after, down tho r.O-fcot ravine, which wasspanued
by the 700-foot trestle, which the (ipeciol train bad al
ready crossed. The criminal is not suspected, so far

advertising for proposals, when the plan Is completed

Aid. Campbell presented a resolution providing for
thu appointment of Alegars. Kgau and Tilley as
nrchlte.-ln for the city, at a compensation of i per
cent on the cost. Ho moved the passage of the resolu
tion as n substitutci for tho report. Tho motion was
lost.
Aid. Cullertnn moved, a* an amendment, that, in
order to be In harmony with tho action of tho County
Jh'ard, fi per cent be aubfltltnted for 2 per cent in tbo
report.
Aid. Hildreth referred to Sir. Egan’* communication
presented yesterday afternoon to tho County Board, lu
which ho claimed to be the vote architect of tho coun
ty. He would like to see that matter cleared up, and
moved that tho matter be poitpuued for one week, to
allow titna for investigation.
Aid, Quirk said that Egan based hi* claim on bond
and contract. Thu Council bad elected three archi
tect!, but the Mayor had vetoed two of tho geuuunicu.
Tho third, Mr, I Tilley, had never been vetoed, *o that
the matter was a little cloudy, and It would be Judi
cious to postpone action.
Aid. Campiwll was la favor of Immediate action.
They had waltod for the County Board too tang. It
wa* ttlKiut time the city took the lead. If they ever
meant to build, they should commence at cnee. He
did nut nee any use in postponement.
Aid, Cullrrton favored some consideration of the
matter. Egan's object, evidently, was to make the
Council imagine that he alone was tho architect, lu
order that thu Council might also he lufiuenccd to
elect one man.
Aid. Warren thought It rather queer that, if the
Council had not the power of designating the architect
or architects to bo employed, tho Board of Public?
Works should Lara that ]<ower.
Aid. Kcbuffuer hoped the matter would not bo de
ferred any lunger, lie vis tired of endless inaction.
Aid. Campbell said that in tho election of throe
architects there was something in the background.
He supposed they wore going on tuo basis of what was
called ••nationality.’’ They wore nil, Americans, ami
they wanted genius, not nationality. One of (ho
reasons why bo opposed tbs elect! cu of tbroo archi
tects was that all the •‘nationalities" could not bo
represented. Two architects would bo nultositlHclent.
In fact, one good mao could do tho whole business.
After a most tedious and thoroughly uninteresting
discussion, the motion to postpone for one week vrau
put ami carried.
