MELANCHOLY ACCIDENT.-An accident
occurred Saturday On the Mimi esota and Pa
cific railroad, resulting in the death of an old
and well known citizen, Captain Abraham
Bennett.
Mr.. Bennett, who resided about six miles
from town on the Lake Como road, was coming
in to market Saturday morning, in wagon,
accompanied by his son, boy aged about thir-
teen years. When they arrived at the crossing
on the Lake Como road, they went on without
stopping The train which left st. Paul at
5:45. coming along at the moment, MIR. Bennett
drove riyht into it, Himself and his son were
thrown out, and the horse was instantaneously
killed. The train was stopped as soon as pos
sbe and the sufferers were carried to the
nearest house, that of Mr.. Starbuck. some
forty rods from the scene of the catastrophe.
Doctors Brisbine, Stewart, Wiley, and Will
liams, were soon after on the ground, but it
was evident from the first, that MIR. Benefits
case was hopeless. He never rallied or recov-
cred consciousness up to the time of his death.
which occurred about noon. His skull was
fractured, his ribs and left arm broken.
Mr.. Bennett was about sixty-three years OF
age, and has been in bad health for the past
TWO years. His son had his skull fractured in

We have been permitted to make the
following extract from a letter written by H.
D. Mathews, at present attached to the Ord
nance Department of the Expedition under
General Sibley:
CAMP MCLAREN, Sunday, June %, 1868.
We arrived here on Friday, and have remain
ed here since to give the teams rest This
Camp is situated between Big Stone Lake and
Lake Traverse, about 2I miles from the lat
ter. I suppose we will march tomorrow, as
we stop every Sunday and sometimes one other
day in the week, SO as to allow rest for the
men and teams. A train will start for Fort
Abercrombie tomorrow for more provisions,
not that we have not any, IS we have two hun
dred teams loaded with COmmissary stores; but
General Sibley is afraid we will run short.
There will be no chance ofwriting to you again
until we get to the mouth of the Shayenne Riv-
er. where we are to wait for the train from Fort
Abercrombie, which will be about ten days.
Day before yesterday the scouts spied three
buffaloes-they were pursued by some cavalry,
and one of them was killed and brought in
the meat sold for twenty-five cents per pound
It was so tough we could hardly get our teeth
through it. 1t tasted very much like beef.

passed from Fort Smelling up, is almost burned

Row AT BENsBERG's BREwERY.-A seri-
Gus row occurred on the Fourth at those gar
dens, resulting in an unlimited number of bro
ken heads and bruised faces. 1t appears that
man named Churchill got into a row with
German, and some friends interposed to make
peace on either side, but finally pitched in on
their own hook. After some time spent in
fighting, the parties adjourned to smile, and
again renewed the fight, and one gentleman
was seriously injured, having had several of his
teeth knocked out and his jaw bone fractured.
We have had enough Of rowdyism on the
Fourth and Fifth this year to satisfy the biggest
rowdy in town.

AcC1DENT.-An accident occurred to a
lady in buggy on the Fourth. 1t appears
that she was being driven along on fhe Fort
road, when the driver, finding that one of Bur-
banks stages was following, pulled on one side
to permit its passage, and in doing so got the
wheel up on high bank, turning the buggy
over and throwing out the lady. At this mo-
ment the stage coming up passed over the
lady, one wheel going over her breast and an
other over her face, injuring her considerably.
We have not been able to ascertain the lady's
stand that neither the driver or conductor of
the stage were to blame

two places, and two toes taken off one foot,
and there are very slight hopes Of his recovery.
One of them must have struck on wheel of
the locomotive, as the hub was covered with
blood and hair. "'t
Fragments Of the wagon were strewn along
the road for distance of several feet. showing
that the conclusion must have been tremen-
dous, and small pools of blood were visible in
various places.
The Coroner, Mr.. Strother, impanelled
Jury and went out to view the body. After
cleaning all the particulars possible, the further
proceedings were postponed until Monday
morning, when the witnesses will be in atten-
dance, and the matter be thoroughly investi-
gated

NIVERSAHY OF AMERICAN IN
DEPENDENCE, IsY THE PUBLIC
SCHOOLS AND FIRE DEPART
MENT OF ST. PAUL.

The last celebration Of the Fourth of July in
this city was the best that has ever taken place
since the city was chartered. The exhibition
Of the Public Schools was highly creditable,
and the firemen turned out in full force. The
children of the public schools presented fine
appearance and the apparatus OF the several
fire companies formed most attractive feature
in the days appearance, being decked out with
the most fanciful devices and flags, evergreens
and boquets innumerable.
The Hope engine presented a splendid APP
pearance In front was the American eagle,
with the Southern Confederacy in his talons,
just as lie got it at Gettysburg the other day.
Behind were two boys, representing the army
and navy, with the stars and stripes floating be-
tween them. Seated under beautiful canopy,
Miss Laramie represented admirably the God
dess of Liberty. The effect Of the whole was
very chaste and beautiful.
The Hook and Ladder Truck had Il large
bald eagle, the emblem of freedom, surmount-
inc the scroll which bears the word Pioneer"
as if extending her protection over the Shibbo-
leth of the company, and the entire length of
wreaths of laurel and suImounted with the
American flag.
The apparatus of the Minnehaha Company
was covered over with perfect wilderness of
flowers, and wreaths, and stripes and stars. and
looked really beautiful.
1t mast be recolected that the firemen were
in service from halfpast two o'clock in the
fba forf bo
fire at the school-house-that they had their
various machines decorated the previous night,
and had to 90 to work Immediately after the
suppression of the fire to cleanse up and redeco-
rate, and then march round the city for about
four or five hours under q burning sun-under
these circumstances we think the appearance
they presented was highly creditable, and The
citizens generally should appreciate their pa
triotism.
The companies assembled, according to the
programme, in front Of the City Hall, about
nine O'Clock, where they were reviewed by the
Mayor and some members Of the Common
Council.
1t was the intention of the Mayor to address
a few observations to the firemen, but owing to
the intense heat Of the weather, and the long
march before them he concluded TO forego that
part OF the ceremony, and has furnished us Il
copy OF his intended remarks, which we shall
pnblsh tomorrow. The procession then took
up their line of march, headed by the Great
Western Band. The mercury being about 100
degrees in the shade, the march was consider
ably shortened. The route was up Fourth to
Third; down Third to jackson; up jackson
to Seventh; down Seventh to Broadway; up

DESPERATE Riot AT UNION PARK GAR
DENs, WEST ST.. PAuL.-Sunday last desper-
ate row occurred in the lager beer gardens on
the bluff in the rear of West st. Paul.
1t appears that large party of Germans had
assembled there with th6r wives and families
to enjoy themselves as is their usual custom,
and while doing so man by the name OF Jerry
McCarty, who is well known in West st. Paul,
as having been the ringleader in several disre-
putable rows, got up on table and commen-
ced making speech, being surrounded at the
same time by number Of his friends. The
speech was distasteful to the Germans and he
was told to get off the table, which he refused
doing and was struck at by somebody. This was
the signal for a general melee. Tumblers and
rocks were thrown and several unOfending in
diyiduals were more or less injured.
The Irish, being in the minority, were speed
ily driven into the woods by their antagonists,
from which they soon after emerged armed with
clubs of all descriptions. By this time they had
been reinforced by a number of deck hands
when the two parties Joined and made an in
dren. When women saw their husbands
knocked down without any provOcation, they
naturally did the best they could for their
preservation, and struck some hard Teutonic
knocks in their defence. But it was Of no use,
brute force prevailed and the women were
knocked down with as little ceremony as were
big strong men. There were even cases where
men and women were knocked down with
helpless infants on their arms. Mr.. Schiller,
shoemaker residing on St. Peter street, while
with his family, was knocked down, badly
beaten on the head, and one Of his fingers
broken which had to be amputated yesterday.
There were several Others badly injured,
amongst whom was Mccarthy, the ringleader.
We understand that considerable doubts are
entertained of his recovery.
Some of the neighbors turned out with guns
and escorted the owners of the gardens to this
side of the bridge.
Some of the ruflians blocked up the bridge,
and one man carrying two children was struck
on the back of his head and the children knock
ed out of his arms.
When the Germans found that the bridge
was blocked they had to go to the Lower Fer
Nv, and were crossing there up to nine or ten
o'clock at night.
We trust we shall never be called upon again
to record such disgraceful transaction as hav-
ing occurred in the vicinity of our city. Our
consolation is, so far as we know, that the ruff
fans who originated the trouble belong to an
other county, and we trust that the sheriff or
magistrates of that county may have sufficient
moral courage to bring these fellows to justice.
Ifpeaceable citizens cannot enjoy themselves
without being attacked and brutally ill-used,
then, indeed, is there no protection for life or
property in our midst.
