ACCIDENT on THE NORTH PACIFIC.

On tho eth inst, the passenger train
on the Northern Pacific, bound west
from Duluth, met with an accident
while crossing Tamarack river, TWEEN.
ty-siX miles west Of Northern Pacific
Junction, resulting in the wreck Of
the engine, baggage and one passenger
car, and the death of Glib. Wheeler,
engineer, and Hugh Fitzpatrick, bag.
gage man. Larry Welch, fireman, was
buried with the engine, his head only
remaining uncovered. His neck, left
arm and hand was badly scalded, but
the injury is not serious. c. NJ. Ten
mes, route agent, met with q severe
scalp wound, and had his arm and
shoulder severely bruised. About iif-
" passengers were ON the train, sew
eral of whom received slight bruises or
cuts, but none were severely wounded.
Conductor Dow and Route Agent
Lewis each had narrow escapes. They
found themselves in the water waist
deep, and partially under the wreck.
Both were considerably bruised. The
express messenger, Thomas Faugh,
was also severely bruised. Engineer
Wheeler died at his post, with his
hand on the throttle. He was buried
in at least six feet of muck He was
fearfully scalded, the skin on his hand
and arm slipping from the flesh. Hugh
Fitzpatrick, baggage man, had barely
reached brake, the danger signal
having been given, when he was
thrown into the stream, the express
car striking him, carrying him under
water, and probably killing him in
stantly.
The accident occurred on Tamarack
river, the bridge having been partially
burned in the night. The bridge is
about two hundred feet long and eight
feet above the water-an ordinary pile
bridge. The bridge is reached by
short curve, and il was not until the
train had reached the burned portion
of the bridge that anything wrong was
noticed. Then flame, no larger than
the flame of candle, and a little
smoke, was seen. The call for brakes
was sounded, but the engine immedi-
ately tumbled into the stream, fol-
lowed by the baggage and one passen-
ger car. 1t is possible the bridge was
fired by an incendiary.

weak in one important respect, which was
that the chances of q days shooting may
displace some of those who won honors last
week and SO break faith with them. The
converse side is much stronger-namely, that
the compact of the committee is with Amcri-
can rifemen in general to produce tho
strongest possible team, and, if some Of the
sixteen gained their places by the unfavora-
BILE operation of these chances" on I'M

latter one opportunity to redeem themselves.

first sixteen Of last week, and If the addi-
tional eight secure three of the places u
will be the outside. Let the white disks wave
