The derailment of the train was
caused by a broken rail, about two
hundred feet from the trestle that
spans the small stream. The train
was composed of two baggage, ex
press and mall ears, three day
coaches snd two Pullmans. The en

care passed over In safety, while
the day coacbea and Pullman were
thrown from tbo trestle into the
creek and along the banks some
twenty to thirty foot below.
At the point where the first coach
left the track, the right hand rail
being broken, about eighteen Inch
es from a Joint, the rail was broken
into fragments for several feet, and
torn entirely from the croastlea. The
truck wheels ran on the tlea until
near the trsatle, when the outside
wheels went over, allowing the
brake beams and axles to fall on

crats desired to offer several amend
ments and Representatives Sulser,
Clark of Florida and Kusterman had
notified the committee that they de
sired hearings on their own ship
subsidy bills.
"The action of the Republicans
is an outrage," declared Representa
tive Alexander of the committee.
We were given no chance to con

It. In the face of direct promises
icy # have ‘railroaded’ this bill

minority of the committee, to the
house Itself and to the country at

The executive session of the com
mittee was characterized by tense
feeling. The Democrats endeavored
to secure an adjournment aad to
amend the bill but were voted down.
An amendment was offered striking
out the subsidy sections of the bill
but it was lost.
In answer to the impassioned ap
peals of the Democrats Mr. Hum
phreys turned a deaf ear, answering
that Immediate action oa the bill
was imperative. When the final vote
was taken It was shown that Repre

correctly on a safe majority for his
