Carver county, Watertown township.
was the scene of q terrible calamity
Thursday afternoon. The boiler Of a.
steam threshing machine, on the
premises of Peter Borke. exploded.
throwing the machine distance of one
hundred feet; totally wrecking it, kill
ing four persons and severely wounding
two others
The killed were: DR.. Grant of Water
town, Carver county, Perry Borke, Mrs.
Burwick. and Miss Katie Devine. A
young man named Champlin had an
arm torn off, and another; whose name
we cannot learn, was terribly scalded.
DR.. Grant was terribly mutilated, and
lived but few moments.
Mrs. Burwick was killed instantly.
A young lady, 20 years old, named
Katie Devine, was horribly mutilated,
being cut in three pieces.
Peter Borke, Jr. was frightfully scald-
ed, and died during the MI ght.
Champlin, q young man, had his left
arm torn off, and several others were
badly injured.
The fragments Of the girl were widely
scattered.
Tie scene at the accident is describ-
ed as narrowing in the extreme. The
bodies were horribly mutilated. DR..
Grant was prominent citizen of Wa
tertown, and the tragic event has cast
a deep gloom over the whole community.
The threshing machine belonged to
Peter Borke, well-to-do farmer living
within two miles of Delano. They had
been threshing during the day, and at
p. n. stopped work to get q drink,
and in the meantime tho young man
had come up with barrels Of water for
the boiler. The pump was started up,
and it is supposed that the first cold
water in the boiler caused the explosion.
DR.. Grant and five ladies had just ar
rived on the grounds to see the machine
work when the explosion took place.
The main portion Of the fragments:
struck the party.
Borke, the owner Of the machine, is
blamed. The machine carried too
much steam. To make the affair more
terrible, the horses, injured and fright
ened, ran away. trampling over the
PROSTATE bodies.

Mr.. MISUNDERSTANDING that an

an organization would be in conflict with
the public policy Of the country, and
preiudicial and detrimental to the agri-
cultural interests Of the parish of st.

or all its advocates at such times and

ETY. Of forming such an organization.

DIVORCES 0 LIMITED PEMoDs.-sThe Bing.
hampton Republican recalls to mind instances
Of divorces for limited periods In the State IF
New York, the statute reading: "a separation
from bed and board forever or for q limited time
may be decreed by the Supreme Court on the
complaint OF a married woman" The Repub-
lican says.
A few years ago Judge Balloon. acting under
the statute, at q special term OF the Supreme
Court in Tioga county, made a decree In adj
yOfee suit that the husband and wife should've
separate for two years, the wife to have custody
Of their only childin the meantime. He advised
them to consider the matter as husband and
wife. He thought that a separation during two
years would satisfy the husband the best thing
he could do would be to treat his wife kindly
and properly, and not cruelty and inflInanly.
The report Is that before the end of the two
years the old love between this couple was re-
,yiyed, and they forgaye each other, and are now
living together happily and as lovingly as they
did during their honeymoon. Judge Bacolm in
forms us while practicing law he obtained an
absolute divorce for a wife from her husband,
but that they remarked each other within nine
ty days from the time the wife obtained herd i-
Y0rce, and thereafter lived happily as husband
and wife many years, until the wife died. Also,
that the husband became his personal friend,
and so remains.

all persons now unconnected with par
ties, is to remain so, until all the parties
for this campaign are in the field. They
promise to be thick as blackbirds. The
rule is for every ma or clique of men,
who want Office, to start a new party.
This may be a good way to bring them
prominently before the public, but at
the same time the public is liable to be
disgusted.

"KILLED ny A CoMPosfToR."-IThe verdict of
the c0foneF'sjury was " Killed bya ~comp9sitor.,s
The circumstances were as follows: He loved
madly, ~passi0nately. His fair one smiled, and
all was going well. His suit was safe, but In an.
evil moment he conceived the dangerous idea OF
clinching 1T, SO to speak, with a poem. He
wrote the poem in a moment OF heavenly inspir-
alton, and sent it to the village weekly. 1t be-
gan thus:
Maud Mary Jane Pilkinton Filler,
White skirted marvel Of duty;
The wide world can never beguile her,
My gold-headed, blue-belted beauty.
1t was a pretty poetic flower as id stood, hut
the compassionate Goth laid his typographicaI
hand upon it, and when it appeared skfrted"
was spelled with an h and Hbeltedv had
"Psn IN it and an 81" AND so they laid him
t~earfrliy away beneath thedaisies, and rendered
a verdict as above.
A poor fellow whose name was George King,
lying in prison under sentence of death, in King
Georges reign, sent his Majesty the following
simple but earnest petition for pardon:
George King to King George
Sends his humble petition,
Hoping King George will pity
Poor George Kings condition.
And Ii King George to George King
VIII grant a long day,
George King for King George
Forever will pray"
Such a poet was not to be hanged. His British
Majesty acknowledged the wit by returning a
full and free pardon.
