A Train Run Recklessly for Sixty Miles or
More.

The action of. Engineer Norval Sala,
who runs on the Chicago and Indianapolis
air line, has raised the question, Is he
insane? Day before yesterday he was
ordered with his engine to haul the mixed
train ont of Indianapolis over the air
line. Matters moved along smoothly
until Holton, a station on the road, was
reached. Here Sala deliberately un
coupled his engine from the train and
without any notice started off at high
speed, ran to Monon, 81 miles, without
a stop, and on reaching that point told
the telegraph operator that his engine
leaked and he was running wild to
Lafayette He then started down the
main line with his engine for that point
Meantime at Iolton was standing IA
freight train of Il loaded cars aud a pas
3enger coach on which were some twenty
or more passengers, aud there the train
stood until 4;3O p. m. As Holton was
not telegraph station, nor the next one
north, the conductor was obliged to walk
to the second station before he could
transmit the news by wire of the antics
OF his engineer - Indianapolis journal.

AN INNOVATION IN MARRIAGES.

New York furnishes the country with
more queer marriage stories than Chicago
does startling divorce cases. A day
hardly passes in the metropolis that some
poor mortal-and it is usually mans
not married there against his will The
latest case is that of Maurice Sullivan, a
young and hibulous tailol, Mrs Sophia
ElealY, a widow twenty years his senior,
cast eyes of love and aCquisitiventss upon.

sufficiently fetching, SO she ured him
away from the board where he was cut

which she paid for like a little man.
Then she GOT her ninth part Of man into
a coupe and started for the minister
Such ride o he parson was never
heard of before. Whenever he protested
against the matrimonial goal to which
he was being driven. She ordered the
driver to stop at saloon and drowned

much for him, and he slept or presumed
he slept He had no recollection Of the
minister, the ceremony, or the gay and
festive party that made meEIy over the
little stitch the widow had taken to her
side She took him to her home. The
second day he asked for a release

would have stolen from her side while
she slept but was sfraid lest she should
wake and make him drunk again. The
more be pleaded for freedom the more
she Iavished the rich beneiicence of her
affection and liquor upon him. On
the third day of their welded life she
took him to market, and got him so
fun Il at he went home with mel
voluntarily This was Saturday night,
aud Sunday morning he parted with her
forever. Sac could have pardoned the
intense dryness of his love for her. which

her beyond forgivness, and now she

The City Election.

The election. passed off very quietly;
Vet great interest was manifested by the
advocates Of the candidates for the office
Of Mayor and also for the City Council.
For the first time i'll several years there
were ISSUES before the pegple on account
uf the license question. Had either OF
the tTd contestants in the I'd aad 81
sarda Jeeu elected on the high license
,!cset they would have carried the day in
the next c,uncil, but rs it so happened
thew were defeated, and the old lew
license will rule.
The election of General 7. Z Tsnnatt
for the Ctiice Of mayor also excited the
friends OF both candidates. james Nc
Aulitf had held this entirely honorary
otfice for over 10 years with credit to
himself and the city. Many thought that
all infusion of new blood would be sdvsn-
taseous TO It's welfare, and, therefore,
nominated Gen. Tannatt, on account Of
tn. mistaken idea of his influence with
the Northern Pacific Railroad Company.
On This ground, the STATESMAN, in Satur-
days issue, toOk exceptions to him.
While We are willing, AT all times, to
give the railroad company credit for their
great work in developing the too long
dormant resources of this territory, We
are opposed TO their ofhcers-no matter
hos remotely connsc!ed-holding posi-
tons IN our municipality; but at the
same time We are pleased that the people
have elected Gen. Tsnns,t, for the reason
that it is sign that they have confidence
in the railroad company, AID it Is Al en-
dursement OF the course of this paper
toward the corporations siRce they CON-
menced building their roads. There is
little doubt but that the newly elected
sill make good mayor. We have long
known that he has the material interest
OF the city at heart, and in the scores of
times he has been noticed in these col
umns. he has ever been given his
need of praise In his efforts for the sd.
ysncement and welfare of Walla Walls,
he will eSer meet with encouragement and
assistance from the STATESMAN.
