and In order to earn his extra stipend he re-
paired to the front of Mr.. Marvin's residence
with his lawn mower shortly before the sun
had begun to tinge the eastern
horizon with gold, and commenced
operations. Mr.. Marvin, awakened
from his sleep by unusual noises, and thinking
that some desperate burglars were in the act of
making an attack upon his castle, leaped from
his bed, seized his revolver, and from window
opened lively fire upon the object he saw
moving across the lawn. Two shots were fred
when the mower, with a yell that awakened
the echoes for blocks around, cleared the fence
at one bound, and was soou out of range of
the murderous Smith & Wesson. Fortunately
he wss not hurt in the least. aud returned at-
ter daybreak to complete his job. The neigh
borhood was thoroughly alarmed, however, by
the fusillade, and q lot of half-clsd people
rushed to the scene of what they supposed to
be tragedy. After inviting maledictions up
on his hesd for his stupidity. Charley returned

A Terrible Death.

A terrible and fatal accident occurred yes
terday afternoon, at about 2 O'Clock at Wyo
ming, Chisago county. on the Wyoming and
Central City branch of the st. Paul d Du-
luth railroad, by which young man named
Thomas Croughan was horribly mutilated
and almost killed. Croughan was at work
on construction train, and was standing on
the fat-c car next the engine, which was
backing down the track, when by some
means he lost his balance and fell beneath
the wheels of the locomotive. The wheels
passed over his body just about the waist,
cutting him ALMOST in two, severed his right
hand at the wrist, and badly mutilated both
legs at tho knee. Death was, of course
instantaneous. Croughan was about II
years of age, and is spoken of as steady
and industrious young man. His father is 6
farmer residing at Stacey, q few miles from
Wyoming.

eARFIELD AND ARTHUR.
Meeting Of the Club Last Night to Inaug-
urate Cush Davis.

Meeting Of the Club Last Night to Inaug-
urate Cush Davis.
The Garfield and Arthur club held its
regular semi-monthly meeting at the old
court house last evening, and was quite well
attended, owing to the fact that Hon. @. z
Davis, the president-elect of the club, was
expected to make one of his eloquent
speeches, upon assuming the chair. In this,
the faithful few to the number of some
seventy. five out of membership ION paper,
of nearly 1000, were disappointed. There
is no nonsense about Cush, and he recog.
nized the fact that it was neither the time
or place for one of his great efforts.
The club was called to order by Z. Barden
Esq, the provisional president, and he intro.
duced Gov. Davis to the ''boys," both old
and young, who received him with encour-
aging applause. %. e7sz esoss5
Gov. Davis briefly returned his thanks
for the high honor which had been con-
ferred upon him, and assured his hearers
that his election to preside over the club was
peculiarly satisfactory to him personally,
and pledged his best efforts until the close OF
the campaign to win success in Ramsey
county. Heretofore it had been the habit
of Republicans to make an individual fight
each for himself, without regard to the bal
ance of the ticket. It was time this prac
tice was stopped, and that all should work
together for the common good Of the party.
Hereafter he hoped they would win together
or suffer defeat with honor. He declined to
make any extended remarks at this time, bu,
promised that before November he would
demolish the Democratic party of Ramsey
county. He admitted that Hancock's nomi,
nation had created great enthusiasm. but
that was only temporary and would pass
away, and the second sober thought of the
people would look beyond the
candidate to the party and
the principles which were behind it.
He had nothing to say against Hancock, but
he wanted the ballots in this contest to take
the same course that ballots did during tine
war. -
Having finished his brief address he an
nounced the following as four additional
vice presidents of the club,7 viz: Joseph j.
Mason, Wenzel Koncsl, Anton w. Martineau
and Frederick Richter.
Mr.. Barden, from the committee to wait
on Mr.. Conger, reported that Mr.. Conger' g
engagements were such that he could not
address the citizens of st. Paul at present,
but might do so at some future time.
A communication from the Garfield and
Arthur club of Minneapolis was read, ask
for joint committee Of conferences on 6
plan of the campaign, and also to make ar.
rangements for a joint meeting.
On motion Mr.. w. &. Marshall and DR..
James Davenport were appointed commit
tee to act with Minneapolis.
The question of forming ward clubs was
referred to the executive committee. as was
also the matter of finances and the selection
of room for future meetings. Said COM
mittee we're requested to meet at Gov. Davis
Office this afternoon at o'clock.
After some other informal talk the club
adjourned to meet again the second Tuesday
in August.

The process of taking the census is near
ing its close and we shall soon know the
position which Minnesota occupies in the
galaxy of States. Returns from the Second
district are yet to come in, but from the fig
ures given below it is fair to assume that thu
population of the State will be round eight
hundred Thousand, with the chances IN favor
of this estimate being too low. Below will
be found the population in detail by census

that 1t redeems l0l ,2S9 acres OF land it
makes an estimate Of the losses by multi
plying the number OF acres In wheat and
corn which were oyerhUwed by the aver
age yield per acre, which, at present prices,
would show loss on wheat OF 100000,
and about the same amount or corn.
Other losses as TO fences, barns, dwellings,
farming implements, &C., will reach fully
Sl00, 900 0more-making a total loss Of $780,
900. Not more than one.third OF either
wheat or corn crops is lost. The overflow
from the break was nearly seventy hours
travelling twenty-three miles, which gave
many farmers time to save much OF their
property outside OF the growing crops.
