Frightful Railroad Accident.

BISMARCK, d. T., March %.
A special from Mandan to the Bismarck
Tribune gives the details Of the railway disas-
ter as follows: t"... ..f ..r.... r
The first indication of something wrong was
sound like a broken wheel. The train was
going at about ten to fifteen miles per hour,
and the engineer, hearing the jar, Immediate
ly reversed steam, but before he had time to
think the terrible crash came, and eight human
souls were landed into eternity. II seems
that wheel on the head truck of the Hat-car
broke, AMI the whole truck had Jumped the
track. Evidences OF its course upon the ties
extend back nearly mile from the wreck. As
the short curve leading to the bridge was
reached the strain upon the car was so great
that the truck must have been broken in nu-
merOus pieces, some Of the more tenacious
striking the ties on the bridge and showing them
before 1t. The iron being left without sup
port, the sleeping-car was Immediately pre-
cipitated into the river, thirty feet below,
striking on its side. This was followed by
sleeping-car No. 2, which careened over,
and finally assumed similar position as
No. l. The dining-car followed, crushing into
both the others. After this was the Kitchen
car, which remained upright against the din
ing~car The Office and store-car was but par
italy of the track. Four bents in the bridge
were broken into splinters, and their sleepers
completely demolished. There were about
| fifty men on the train at the time of the acct
dent, and the escape of even one seems
miraculous after viewing the wreck.
In sleeper No. l were about twenty-four
men. Some were lying in their hunks asleep,
Others smoking and reading, and some play

bedding caught fire, the men fed, and the
! dying were roasted almost beyond recognition.

remains of the unfortunate victims. One Pc

DOLLIE'S HAND-ORGAN.

Dollie's uncle, who was sea-captain,
brought home hand-organ from Italy
on one of his voyages. 1t had belonged
to passenger who had died ON the way
to this country, and as Uncle George
knew nothing of his relations, if he
had any, the org an, which was all he
possessed with the exception of the
clothes which he had on, was left on his
hands. At first he thought he would
sell it or give it away to one of the sec
ond-hand dealers in such merchandise
which crowd the city. Then he con-
might amuse his brothers children, who
lived on the old farm in the country. 1t
wa an old organ with a sweet, plaintive
ring in its melody, and it played a
great variety of pleasing airs. rl.as
He was right in thinking the chill
dren would be pleased with it. There
were three of them, and they were all
wild over it. He gave it to Dollie, who
was his favorite, but, of course, Will
and Nell enjoyed it just as much as
she did; and, as for that matter, so did
all the children in the neighborhood.
1t was rare that an organ-grinder
had ever strayed so far out into
the country, and when such a
thing did happen, it had always
been gala day to the younger popula-
ton of the town. and even the older folk
We're interested in the musician, if not
always in the music. The moment the
sound of his organ was heard in the
street ont trooped the children after him
as after the pied piper of Hamelintown,
and they followed him through lane and
cross-road everywhere. So to own a
hand-organ seemed like owning bit of
fairy land. Nell, who was hardly rGore
than baby, was lulled to sleep every
night to its music, and Dollie and Will
both used to cry when, on its first arriv-
al, they were obliged to go to school
and leave it, 81 C.-t .

the children, would declare that she

Lord John Russell is authority 70
the statement that in Eve years. frDn
1865 to 1870, the expenses for spirit
uous liquors in Great Britain wer
one-half more than the national reve
nue. for the whole time; that they wer
twice the capital of the savings banks
that they were three times the ANNA
railway income Of the United King
dom and that they were fifty times
the collected revenues of all the re-
ligiOus and philanthropic societies
Now in our own country We have sh,
chief bureau Of national statistics fol
saying that in one year 1886, 600, 0Oo
have been spent for alcoholic drinks in
the United States. And there is not
man alive that could not End some
better way IN which spend that 1896,
900, 600. Think what it would do!
You take the cost of all the public
schools in the United States, and
divide the COSTLY the number Of all
the pupils in the country, and you
will find the average cost for each pu-
PHI to be 1929
There were above four millions and
half of persons at the last census who
were unable to read and write. The
1896, 070,O0O which were spent in
drink would have giEen years
schooling to every man, woman and
child in the Unitee States that could
not read and write, md It would only
have cost sixty millions Of dollars to do
it, and then you would haye over FIVE
hundred millions Of dollars left with
which to do something else that was
good. All the paupers of the United
States cost only SIC, 93a,429 and all
the taxes of all kinds. government,
State and municipal. that were paid
in United States was $3.50, 59I, 321;
and that docs not use up half the mon
ey spent for liquor.
And then l look at the industries
of the nation, and l feel that the wa.
ges of builders were not quite fifty
millions, thewages Of the iron mould
ers were only seventy-three millisns,
the wages Of the manufacturers cf ag.
ricultur.rl Implements were only
twelve millions; and when l give q
years schooling to every that cannot
read and write, when l have cared
tor all the paupers, when have paid
the taxes, when 1 have given all the
wages Of The bailders, iron workers,
clothing manufacturers, and agricul,
