Commodore W. F. Davidson, with his son,
from St. Louis, and Capt. P. s. Davidson
and wife, of La Crosse, arrived by the morn

Monday, and on Tuesday morning was at
tackled with scarlet fever in the most malig-
nant form. She only lived until P. M.

was attacked herself.

of J. Ham Davidson, corner of Broadway

remains we're taken to the family lot in Oak.

RAILROAD COLLISION.
An Accident which Fortunately Terminated
Without Loss of Life.

An Accident which Fortunately Terminated
Without Loss of Life.
Owing to collision at Elk Mound at
quarter before two o'clock yesterday morn
ing, the passenger express on the Chicago,
st. Paul & Minneapolis railroad, due in this
city at 6:1o o'clock A. NJ, did not arrive until
2:45 O'Clock yesterday afternoon.
The collision took place between the No.
passenger train in charge of Conductor
Billy Mead and an east bound freight train,
and, with the exception of the material
damage to the engines and an accident to
the engineer of the freight train, no injury
is reported, the escape Of all the passeneers
being almost miraculous.
The latter were shaken up, however, and
while no particular blame is attached to the
persons in charge thus far, the circum-
stances of the collision are given as follows:
Ihe passenger train left Oklone at 1:2O
O'Clock yesterday morning, receiving infor-
nation at the above point that she would be
preceded by flag train as far as Hudson,
consisting of an engine and caboose, and
that the regular freight train would be
switched at Elk Mound until after the pas
senger had passed that point.
According to the best information the
conductor of the freight had not been ap-
prised of the flag train, and after the latter
had passed Elk Mound the freight pulled out
for the east. A few minutes afterwards the
passenger and freight trains collided, and the
escape of the passengers from fearful and
instantaneous death was simply wonderful.
The actual damage was comparatively
light. The engines were badly shattered,
and John Purdy, the engineer of the freight
train, had one of his feet SO badly smashed
between the engine and tender that it will
have to be amputated.
The company has ordered an investiga-
ton, which will result in ascertaining the
true reasons for the collision.

Though tho Fellow iDidn't Want 70
Shuttle Off this Mortal Coil.
Officer Cook ssecured drunken Swede
from the inolement weather :Eyesterday, by
finding him bettersplace to a.repose in the
lookup. But the Swede wouldn't slumber
as indicated very soon by loud and despair
ing cries from his celi. At first his
howlings were thought to be only
the common yahoop of an e1asperated
drunkard. But shrieks were finally dis.in-
guished, and a rush was made to the cell.
He was found hanging by the neck, almost
ct his last gurgle. -.
The cells are made of strong oaken bars
at intervals OF four inches. Two of these
had become pretty we'll sprung, and through
this aperature the man had showed his head,
with the insane intent of making his escape,
He couldn't squeeze his body through after
his head, and for the matter of that couldn't
get his head back.
Hence the yells.
Seeing his predicament, and unable to ap-
proach him because of his violent kicking,
deputy city clerk O'Connsr was struck with
an ingenious idea. He clambered
near the struggling man, and struck him a
blow on the side of the head, in hopes of
knocking him "lifeless," and thus enable
him to be extricated and save his life. E1-
treme emergencies require extreme measures.
The blow was fortunate one, for it twisted
the fellows neck and allowed him to take
drop onto the floor of the cell.
He was treated to surprise by having
bucket of water thrown on him, and dose
of it administered internally, which resus-
citated him.

BAdlY BEATEN.

Word reached police headquarters this morn .
ing at 1 80 o'clock that man was lying on
University avenue, two blocks from Gelder-
mans grocery store, and from his appearance
it was thought he had been beaten by some
one. Officers Brosseau and Lowell were sent
out to the place and returned with man who
gave his name as William Cameron. In his
pocket was found S27.50, which would dispel
the idea that he had been assaulted with view
to robbery.
Cameron says he boards at Burns boarding
house, and has been at work as stone cutter
on the new elevator, and last night received
his pay. HeFas in an unconscious state, re-
sulting from the effects of his wounds and
whisky, and kept continually repeating the
sentence, "Charley, you gave it to me good. :"
DR.. Abbott was summoned and dressed the
injured mans wounds, which consist of q
severe cut on each side of the head and .

A New Debutante.

The leading New York papers have con-
tanned occasional notices within the past few
months, regarding the performances of a
young lady named Miss Nina Wright, who
is described as the most talented and forcible
dramatic reader of the period. Her form,
grace of manner, delivery and system of in
depreciation is described as entirely capti-
waiting, and the new shades of meaning
given to many of the most renowned pas
ages of Shakespeare and other dramatists is
spoken of as almost phenomenal.
An evening of music and recitation was
given at Chickering hall by the young debut
ante q short time since, on which occasion
the audience was composed of the artistic
and drama-loving people of New York. Her
reception on this occasion was very enthu.
siastic and the encouragement almost
amounted to public ovation. Arrange
ments are in progress to have the young and
brilliant dramatic reader visit St. Paul,
upon which occasion the talented debutante
may expect repetition of her Eastern
trIumEhs. -.'.-

convenient days to have me go to New York.
The 10Th will suit me quite we'll, but since
wrote you last an invitation has been sent
me to accept Especial Car to Key West, Fla,
and passage from there to Havana to leave
New York, Philadelphia or Washington
about the 26th or 9th of December. If
accept this I will not go to New York before
ny return next spring. On the whole I
think it is better to defer going until that
time. If any thing should detain me 80 as
to make it necessary to 60 to New York, I
will inform you as soon as am made aware
OF it. Very truly yours, U. s. GRANT.
