Between 3 and O'Clock yesterday after
noon one of Farmers livery hacks was
struck by train On the Transfer COM
pany's road. Fortunately there was no
passengers in the vehicle at the time. The
hack was on its way to the Duluth depot

was across the track when struck by a
train that was backing up. Had the hack
been occupied at the time the result must
have been disastrous.

On Saturday afternoon strong opposi-
ton sprung up between two vendors OF
patent medicines. A stranger took up q
position on Chestnut when, with stentorian
voice, he announced the merits of his great
cure-all, sample bottle of which he gave
away. The stranger was dourishing finely
when Tim Fox took his place few feet
from his rival, and soon his shrill piping
tones could be heard explainingi to the
public the great curative powers of his
preparation, all of which was highly pleas
ing to the crowd, who patronized the free
institution quite literally. But Tim
screamed louder and louder. The stranger
could stand it no longer, SO he packed uE
his bottles and beat retreat. If another
trial is had Tim will do some loud scream
ing. He did not do his best this time by q
good deal.
