THE SMASH UP.
Particulars Of the Wreck which Hap
pened Here ON the 10th. inst, a. TAX.
en- from the Sioux City Journal.

About IL P. NJ the regular western
passenger train on the Chicago, Milwau-
kce and St. Paul, consisting of four pass
enger cars, sleeper, baggage and mail car,
drawn by engine No, ~, Tom Manches-
ter at the throttle, ran into break in the
track about forty rods east of the depot.
The washout was caused by a heavy rain
which fell in perfect torrents from 6 to 10
P. NJ. The railroad embankment formed
dam and the warer rose to about five
feet, the only outlet for which was small
culvert, over which the water rose, caus
ing the dirt to wash through, soon leaving
a clear sweep for the water over as well
as through the culvert, leaving the ties
supported only by the rails to which they
were spiked. The engine passed over
unharmed more than thorough shaking
up. The tender did not fare so well,
however, being pretty badly demoralized
and parting company with the engine.
The postal car followed with the baggage
in the rear, each
PLUNGING OVER THE TIES
with the velocity only attainable by so
heavy body. After leaving the break !.
car-length they both rolled off to the south
side of the embankment, where they lie
on their sides. The two forward passenger
cars came next, each headed in different
direction, one to each side of the track,
where they lie, with the trucks piled up
promiscously on each side of them. The
three rear cars were uninjured, the front
one of them having its end projected across
the gap. Frank Church, route agent of
the United States Express companys
business, of the Sioux City and Iowa and
Dakota divisions of the Chicago, NIilwau-
kee & St Paul railroad, was the only one
that was seriously hurt. His injuries con-
sistng of a large severe scalp wound and
one leg broken below the knee At the
time OF the accident he was in the baggage
car, which was full of trunks, which in
the sOmersaut tell upon him,
CRUSHING HIM BENEATH THEIR WEIGHT.
As soon as possible he was extricated and
carried to the Naylor house, where he was
attended by Drs Smith and Clark Sever
al others were injured slightly, among
others the engineer, whose face was con-
siderably bruised. There was very little
damage to life or property outside of the
cars, which is wonderful from the demor-
allied condition of the train. An engine
from Mitchell was reversed and sent back
with the passengers bound west at 7:30 A.
NJ The wreck was cleared away during
the day and the track made passable, by,
night
Every family should be provided with a
bottle of Chamberlain Collie, Cholera
and Diarrhoea Remedy, as a safeguard
against summer complaint and diarrhoeal
disorders. Only fifty cents bottle. 1t
is pleasant to take, and never fails to cure

A Vienna Picture,

Every day at o'clock Strauss raises
his baton in the crowded Nolksgarden'
Then Vienna is seen at its best. The
shrubbery is dense and heavy with per-
fume. The crowds be they ever so great,
are never packed. The costumes rival
the Champs Elysees, Bois de Boulogne,
and Hyde park-plus Kaleidoscope
movement of military uniforms, the mere
enumeration OF which would give the
reader a notion that he was digesting a
fashion gazette or the roster of an army.
An hour or two of beer and revelry with
Strauss, then away to the Prater, past
the superb granite opera-house. the
stately fronts of palatial hotels, royal
castles, St. Stephens dizzy tower, the
imperial barracks, to the '.SchGne blau
Donau," to the bewildering phantasma-
goria of the Prater. Here the fine equi-
pages roll necessarily from 5 till 9. If
the tourist be lucky he will be at the
center Of the picturesque ganglion of
shady avenues at 6. He viii then see a
singular group-a jet black horse con.
scious Of his mount, attended by four
grooms in gorgeous livery. The mount
is radiant amazon, with eyes deep
ly, darkly, divinely blue" hair like wisps
OF gold, and complexion which a peach
has when the season is good and the
peach is not for market. This is the
fair Elizabeth, empress of Austria, queen
of Hungary, queen of Bohemia, duchess
of duchies without number, the finest
equestrienne in Europe, and wonderful
to say, the mother Of the stalwart youth
in milk-white uniform riding lover-like
by her side. Be as ferociclls democrat
as you please, there is no resisting a
thrill Of chivalric de7otion as this charm
ing group energies from the shouting
throng and passes like a vision down the
glorious wide avenue, acclaimed every
rood Of the way by the loyal Viennoise,
who adore their beautiful '.Kaiserin. -
Sometimes, when state problems permit,
a tall, grave man in white uniform,
straight as an arrow, sitting his horse
like a Centaur, follows this group. Then
there is a mighty shout of "Hoch! Hoch!
der Kaiser!'' For Franz Josef sometimes
delights his loyal subjects by adding the
glory Of bis resplendent retinue to the
magnificent evening pageant Of the Pra-
ter.-Iq.iladelpAia Times.

Something about Babies.

According to Yorkshire notion, q
newborn infant should be laid first IN
the arms of a maiden before anyone
touches it; and in some places the IN
fant's right hand is left unwashcd IN
order that he may gather riches. 1t IS,
too, considered very important by many
that an infant should 60 upin the world
before it goes down. Thus, in Cleve-
land, says Mr.. Henderson, If child
should be born in the top story OF a
house, for want of flight of stairs one
of the gossips will take it in her arms
and mount a table, chair, or chest of
drawers before she carries it down
stairs.
In the North of England, when an in
FAINT for the first time goes out OF the
house, it is presented with an egg, some
salt and little loaf of bread, and occa-
sionally small piece of money-these
gifts being supposed to insure that the
child shall never stand in need of the
common necessaries of life. In the
East Riding of Yorkshire few matches
are added to light the child to heaven.
1t was, too, in former times, custom
airy, and the practice snot yet obsolete.
to provide large cheese ana cake, ana
cut them at the birth of the child. These
were called ''the groaning cake and
cheese" and were distributed among
all the neighbors.
In Yorkshire this cake is termed the
''pepper cake, and in some localities
the ''sickening cake. 1t is the source
of species of divination, for being cut
into small pieces by the medical man, it
is divided among the unmarried of the
female sex, under the name of dream
ing bread.n Each one takes piece,
places it in the foot of the left stocking,
and throws it over the left shoulder.
This being done, they must retire to bed
backward, without uttering word, and
those who are lucky enough to fall
asleep before midnight are favored with
a sight ct their future husband in their
dreams.

A MURDER AT MITCHELL.
Row.

| Row.
Yankton Press. Last Sunday evening
the tracklayers who had been engaged on
the line between Emmetsburg and Esther
vile in Iowa, arrived here to 60 to work
on the Jim valley road They came pretty
well steamed up with whisky and were
quarreling all the way up. Monday morn
ing some of them braced up with the ar
dent little more and resumed the quar-
rel, soon coming to blows. They were
separated by Justice Abbey and upon on
promise of going out on the line to work,
were permitted to depart. But they went
no further than to the boarding car, which
was side tracked near the round house,
where they resumed the row which ended
in the death of Michael Burns. John
Lacy and James Ward, both belonging to
the tracklaying force were arrested and
taken to Jail. Tuesday Lacy was arraign
ed before Justice Hitchcock, A. }. Water
house appearing for the prosecution and
Dillon & Preston for the defense resting
the case when the prosecution ended.
Wednesday, Ward was placed on trial,
but the hearing was postponed until to-
day.
An inquest was held before Coroner
Curtiss, Monday evening, and verdict
rendered that the deceased came to his
death by blows received from persons un-
known. Drs. Crane and Harris held
postmortem examination and decided that
his death occurred from conclusion of the
brain.
The fatal fight was not witnessed by
any of our citizens, as has been stated.
1t was row among men from another
state, who came here to work on the rail
road. Burns was killed by some member
of the party and that is all there is of it.

sovercharged about "a per cent on the
average, and yet the Government is en-
ploying the military to enforce the eviction
of tef1antswIio say they are unable to meet
that extortion. If the Commissioners,
who represent the Government, are right
is the tenant who resists the robbery
wrong2 But the main defect of the act,
and one which can only be remedied by
the state purchase of estates, is that II
does nothing to relieve the surplus popu-
lation that is trying to keep body and soul
together upon patches of land which would
be wholly inadequate for its support, even
If they We're rent free. There is the emf
grafton clause, to be sure, but forced exile
is no remedy. It is certain, however, that
even if the Land act were perfect, there
would be no peace. The people are, to
put it mildly, opposed to all English law,
simply because it is English The disease,
in short, can only be cured by repeal, and
repeal is out Of the question. Mr.. Glad

Salisbury may do likewise, but the only
measure that can allay Irish discomfort is
the dismemberment of the empire, and
that being impossible, we must make uT
