A Wrestling Match.

A quiet wrestling bout took place in
the rear of the Merchants hotel last night,
the principals being the little and agile
youth who runs the elevator and colored
yard man employed at the caravansary.
The match was for golden eagle and
was contested on the catch as catch-can
principle, best three out Of five falls, the
hackers being well-known business men
of this city. Physically they were not
evenly matched, the elevator conductor
being spare built and wiry while his op-
ponentNis heavy set but exceedingly active
on his feet. They went at it like farmers,
and it was nip and tuck as to who would
win the first throw. 1t was won by the
yard man and the subsequent proceedings
amply demonstrated his prowess. The
match afforded fifteen minutes lively
sport, at the end of which the latter
walked off with the coin winning three
out of four falls.

MIR. HOWE.

Ex-senator Timothy Howe, the new
postmaster general, has been long known
as an astute and active leader in politics
in his own state. His selection by Presi-
dent Arthur for the. first po-
sition-in point of patrenage-in
his cabinet, is significant of the
future policy of the present adj
ministration. Mr.. Howe is, in the true
and broadcast sense of the term, poll
tician. He is also one of the
most devoted and loyal of the
stalwart school. No man under
stands better the qualifications
necessary to successfully manipulate the
political machine, than the present exc
cutive. Having passed rapidly from the
ward caucus to the prerogatives of the
executive of the nation, he brings to the
discharge of the duties of his present
position that happy faculty for reading
and determining the character and value
of men at a glance, which gave him
prominence and success in local politics.
Mr.. Howe's patronage will be felt in
every hamlet in the land, and as he is a
leader among stalwarts, he will show the
half breeds ho,o the machine will be used
in shaping the next national convention
of the Republican party. Taking into
consideration the work he is to perform,
we consider Mr.. How's selection a very

wonders of the Yellowstone.

The Yellowstone National Park in its won
derful geysers, great canyons, bounded by
mountains piercing the clouds, immense
water falls, and grotesque and wiered scenery,
is unequalled IN the world. Thanks to the
steady encroachment of the Northern Pacific
railroad, this wonderland, but few years
since beyond the reach of all but the most
daring and intrepid, is now within easy reach
of persons of means and leisure. But
then from but a small portion of the
human family, and the great majority of peo-
pie wouldeven now be shut out from viewing
Its beauties and wonders, was it not that
science has stepped in, in the shape of the
photograph, and made it possible to bring
them within easy reach of all, Such an OBJ
portunity will be presented the people of St.
Paul Monday and Tuesday evenings next,
when Profs. Calfee and Wylies Euryscopic
views of that wonderful section will be gwen
at the Opera house. Of this entertainment
an exchange says:
1t gives the most for the money of anything
of the kind that has been exhibited here for
some time, and was undoubtedly revelation
to all those who had not visited that most re-
markable region of country, which on account
of its superior attractions, has been set apart
as National Park. Spouting springs are
shown which throw columns of water more
than 800 feet into the air, magnificent water
falls and gigantic and grotesque figures of
every conceivable shape and size abound. In
one view is shown a lake, which has a coast
line of over 300 miles, and a fisherman may
stand on the rocks, catch his fish,
and by simply throwing the line
over his shoulder into boiling cald-
ron behind him, have them cooked for dinner.
The lecturer has been there and takes his au-
dience on tour of the park. giving lucid
description of the brobdinaggian pictures as
they appear. The peculiar formations found
| in the park and their splendid and varied col
ors must form magnificent picture for the
tourist There were 1900 visitors to the

the cheapest way to get good idea of that

| ton Of one who has been there.

the bridge across the north branch of the

extreme northwestern part OF the city, about
noon to-day, the bridge swung open suddenly
and before the engine could stop it plunged

car barely escaping by striking the bridge,
which had begun to swing back. The bridge
was badly wrecked. j. M. Leavitt, fireman
on the engine, jumped and swan out. En-
gineer Wilcox was pulled out with his left leg
cut off below the knee. The conductor was
crushed to death between the engine and tend
err, and is still under water. Thick smoke and
noise from the neighboring factories pre-
vented the signals from being seen and heard
by the bridge tender and railroad men.
