MA.VOL!•*L) IN A WKKOK.

PKATMVOUD, S. D., June 1.—A .serious accident occurred on the Dead wood Central railroad Tuesday morning, resulting in the death o" two persons and serious injury of seven others. Following are the names of the de di .lames Scott, engine wiper William Thomas, band musician.

Down a tirade.

The regular passenger train for this city left Lead at 3:20 a. m. with ten passengers aboard and the regular train crow. Of these but two women and two men escaped uninjured. A short distanco out of Lead the locomotive became unmanageable owing to a frosty rail. The trouble began on one of the steepest grades in America, and all efforts to stop tho train or reverso its courec were ineffectual. The train ran over a mile down grade before leaving tho rails and then crashed into a hillside and lay dismantled, with cries of agony upon every hand.

Sequel to Nlght'H Pleuftitro. White Wood creek runs by the road at this point, and several persons were thrown into its waters. Luckily the engine and cars fell toward the hill and thus escaped plunging over the steep embankment on which the road is built. Strange to say, the people who remained on the train were the less injured, while those who jumped were dangerously or fatally wounded. The passengers were returning to the city from a ball given at Lead. William Thomas, the young musician killed, was well known and very popular.

Stuck to Illri Pout.

The truck for over a mile is covered with blood from the injured passengers, and varying short distances pools of blood mark the spots where the passengers made their leap for life or were thrown from the wild, uncontrollable train. Engineer Moriahan stuck bravely to his post ami did everything in his power to avert the catastrophe, lie was found pinned, bleeding and helpless, in the embers of his cab, but still conscious. The surgeons think he will live. l'ti*Kctigcrs In Deadly Peril.

INDIANAPOLIS, Ind., June 1.—The Luke Iirie A Western passenger train due here at i::!0 o'clock Tuesday morning was wrecked by a washout 10 miles north of this city. A number of persons were injured, but the following comprises the list of those whose injuries are regarded as serious: J. F. Hani, Ivokoino, hurt about the chest, leg cut and hand injured T. W. Griffin, engineer, l'eru, head cut, ankle smashed and bruised Mrs. Ella Crampton, 117 Windsor block, Indianapolis, bruised about the sides and hips Alexander Manker, express messenger, Cincinnati, bruised about the head and body. ltiin Into Clnudhnrnt.

The train had been running for two hours through a blinding rainstorm, and had reached a point in the road which was accounted one of the best pieces of roadbed in the slate. Suddenly the engineer saw a sheet of water in front of him, and a moment later the engine dashed into a culvert that had been entirely washed out. The engine toppled over to the left and ran a few yards on the cross ties, and the four cars that comprised the train went over to the left and turned bottom upward In 1 feet of water. When the engine turned over Engineer Griflin was thrown forward and his right leg pinned to the seat by the reverse lever. The shock threw open the throttle and the driving wheels went spinning round at the rate o' 500 revolutions to the minute.

A llravo Fellow.

Fireman Wade was thrown some distance but wus not hurt. Wading back through the water he asked Grillin if lie was hurt, but the imprisoned engineer repKcd cheerfully: "Never mind me. Hun back and Hag the Pan-Handle express. She will be into us in five minutes."

Every light except the danger signal on the end of the rear coach had been extinguished by the water, but Wads groped his way back to that and then hurried down tho track toward the Paullandle express, which was coming down the road at the rate of 80 miles an hour, and whoso headlight was already seen 1n the distance. The fireman waved his signal just as the express whistled for the culvert crossing, and the train, loaded with human freight, came to a standstill on the very verge of the culvert.

Ono Killed Two I'll full]' Hurt. EAST fciVKitroof., O., June 1.—At an early hour Tuesday morning a collision occurred on tho Cleveland & Pittsburgh railroad 25 miles west of this city in which John Liptag, engineer, of Cleveland, was killed and a fireman and brakcinan fatally injured. The wreck caught fire and both trains were wholly consumed. Tlie loss will reach more than MO. 000.

Wreck on the Kastern lllinoln# DANVII.I.E, 111., June I—A serious wreck occurred on the St- Louis division of the Chicago & Eastern Illinois railroad Tuesday morning at Grape creek. The engine and forward freight cars caused an earthen fill about 13 feet high and soaked with recent rains to give way. The last.two freight cars, both loaded, and a passenger car jumped the track and rolled down the embankment into the Vermilion river, which was raised by recent floods to a depth of 16 feet. The passonger coach lay on its sido, one end In the water, the other on the land. After considerable difficulty the passengers, among whom were two ladies, succeeded in prying open the door and escaped. No one was seri­

ously hurt. John Jackson, of this city, had his face badly cut and Conductor Smith had his legs severely bruised.

So fpr us the city is concnrncd the effects of the storm, aside from *the flooding of collars from overcharged sewers, was confined to the northeastern portion, -which was submerged. Tho valleys of Fall creek and Pogue's ntn are wholly under water, and the people were compelled to flee from their homes to avoid the sudden bnrst of waters. All day the postmen in this section of the city in making their rounds were compelled to go waist deep into the water in order to reach the mail boxes. The. wator rushed with great rapidity and the postman had great difficulty in maintaining their fin iting.

Ono Life l.ont.

A party of people were standing on the bank of Fall creek when tlie bank caved nnder them and a number were precipitated iiito the water, but all were rescued but the Weaver boy, who was swept away. Twenty families were driven from their homes and os many morn' were forced to seek the second floor to escape from the water.

Over thirty bridges and culverts in the city and vicinity were .washed away, causing serious delay in railway operations. Nearly all freight trains were tied lip and passengers were transferred. Reports from the sui rounding country indicate that the rain was widely oxtended and of the most severe character. The fall in this city registered nearly 2 inches in a short time, the streets on the level being' flooded, the water in many places washing up sidewalks and running into basements. Tlie damage from this source will lie considerable.

New York Anti-Hill Democrats to a a go

THEY HOLD A STATE CONVENTION.

A I'rotc.t AKnlnnt the February Convention Cleveland1!! Nomination vored—Delegate! to tho Hljf .:

Convention Cltoncu.

TO UNSEAT HILL'S MF.N.

SYRACUSE, N. Y., June 1.—Tho antiHill, or as it is now generally called, the "anti-snap" convention, met in this city to select a contesting delegation of democrats to dispute the ground with Hill's forces in Chicago. The convert tlon was called to order Tuesday shortly after noon by ex-Secretary of the Treasury Charles S. Fiiircliild, chairman of the state committee. It was held in the Alhtimlrt-a rink.

Object' off the Convention.

Mr. Fairehild reviewed in a few words the preliminaries which led to the holding of the convention. He then presented the name of John I). Kernan, of Oneida, for temporary chairman. Mr. Kernan's appearance on the platform was the signal for loud applause. He spoke at considerable length, and stated that tho object of tho convention was to wage war against the disfranchisement of 200,000 New York democrats in the Chicago conventiou by leaders who have made unwise and crafty use of party machinery for personal ends, and who have overridden time-honored customs and usages of the democratic party. He continued: •'We clnltn our right to Insist lit Clifcugo that the cull for and manipulation of the February convention was au abuun of trust and violation of democratic rights Id thin state tlmt ild proocodlURg then misrepresented a largo element of disfranchised 'democrats and now misrepresent an overwhelming sentiment which sluco then haa grown to vast proportions throughout the state. "For some years prior to February last democratic unanimity rolled up victories In this Btute. Throughout all this period, the uotlon, however, still prevailed that the democratic musses were the culers of their party and that -leaders were placed In position, not so much to pose as InUtvtduul towers of strength as to obey orders. Suddenly these leaders and managers Selected Washington's birthday for the patriotic purpose of asserting their ownership of Now Vorlt democrats and amid curses uud protests loml and deep held a snowshoe convention ui

Albany. They sent delegates to present to the nutional convention to be held four months later, thu culled and barren outlook of February as the full-tiowerod June sentiments of democrats in this state us to candidates upon a platform which disloyally and venomously represented New York democrats as deliberately Kilng the clcau and sturdy record of the only democratic natlotinl administration which bad blessed our country In over thirty yeura. "The delegates of the February convention go to urge what tho politicians wanted in February the delegates of this convention to state what the peoplo In New York want now. They will shout for sham regularity and the forms, shadows and coverings of things. Wc will plead that justice, equity and Uie substance of democracy be recognized'as having the better title."

Mr. Kernari closed his speech with a warm eulogy of ex-President Cleveland. The l'latform.

The committea on resolutions presented its report a synopsis of which follows:

The delegates of the democratic party of the state of New York ^eelaro that the most urgent necessity of the country Is a rndloal rerorm lu the administration of thu federal govcrnmeut

The republican party deuounced for Its abuse of power dnrlntf the past lour years. lt» course was one of extravagance, favoritism unit fraud. Contrasted with this history of axtravaguuee and oppression Is recalled with ever-Increasing satisfaction the wise and prudeut democratic administration of Qrover Cleveland. He pointed out lu his message of December, 18S7, Uie u-ue mlssson of the democratic party, and through temporary defeat brought it to the magnillcent victory o! 1H90 and 1091.

After an argument against the present tarin and a declaration in favor of the use of both gold and silver, with every dollar equal to every oUier dollar, and In opposition tu free eolnuge of silver by the United Statin alone the plat form goes on to declare that the party retulns unshaken eonlldenoe in urovpr Cleveland and believes that by nominating him tbe national convention will oarry oat the almost unanimous wish of tbe party and best conault the welfareof the country. It recognizes that the wislic of the majority of tho party should prevail, and pledges to support the candidates nominated at Chicago. The delegotlon chosen by this con ventlon Is Instructed to act as a unit accordlnp to the determination of a majority of lu members.

The Platform Adopted.

The denouncement of the midwinter convention was greeted with vociferous applause. The reference to Orover Cleveland as being able to carry New York state again moved the convention to its feet and to a storm of applause, while the affirmation-. that this convention and Its constituencies would support the nominee at Chicago whoever he might be was greeted by a burst of cheers that left no doubt as to the purpose of the convention. William Lounsberry, I of Kingston, Ulster county, seconded I the resolutions In a strong speech for Cleveland. Fred W. Hinrichs, of Brooklyn, and Robert McCarthy,-of-Syracuse, who was state'charity commissioner under Gov. Hill, also spoktv The platform was then adopted. I

Itecoinmeud Cleveland's Nomination. Mr. Pease,'of Saratoga 'n'member of the resolutions committee," then presented as a supplement to the platform the following resolution, which was adopted "Resolved, That this convention approve. In-: dorse and point with pride to the adutiuisiratlon of Orover Cleveland and we recommend hi in to the Chicago convention for nomination, and to the democratlo party and the patriotic peoplo of the country for election again to the presidency."
