AS the Manitoba train, on the Fergus
Falls division, was leaving this city yes
terday for st. Paul. the engine and bag

spanning the vest channel of the river and
ran for some distance before being
stopped. Engineer F. w. Dyer and the
fireman remained at their posts and
brought the engine to a
foil stop on the brink
Of the river. Had they deserted their post
the entire train would probably have
plunged into the Mississippi and human
lives would have been lost. AS it was 10

the bridge. The cause OF the accident was
a broken rail. The wreck was cleared al

The Great Rsrnum And London Shows

The P. T. .Barnum and Great London
shows will pitch their mammoth canvass
tomorrow afternoon. Ia view of the
entree of this famous organization into
the city, description of some of the
features, as they were pre-
scented nightly before overwhelming aud
fences in New York, may not prove un-
interesting After the regular. perform
ances in the ring and upon gu elevated
stage had been given, says an exchange,
and Jumbo and the baby elephant, the
living curiosities, Nubian canninals, Zulus,
Indians, Affects, ETC., had been exhibited,
the hippodrome races began. OF these,
the Obstacle race proved the most inter-
esting.
Twenty five contestants toed the scratch
to run twice around the track. The first
obstacle to be surmounted was wall OF
evergreens three feet high. Several re-
manned halt in and half out of the wall.
Next were number Of barrels suspended
from the center by ropes, through which
the racers were obliged to pass head first
Some succeeded in getting their heads
through, but failed miserably when like
feat had to be done with their legs The
spectators gave all kinds of advice, some
admonishing them to wriggle their legs
and others to count ten, so as to get
rested, and then try to get through. The
first to succeed ingetting out of the barre
made dash for a well creased five
barred gate. He was seen brushing the
dust off his clothes when the last con-
testant was just escaping out of a barrel
when they all made a dash foi
the boxes. This was exceedingly
laughable. The runners had to sit on the
corner of one box to get in and push uI
the lid of another to get out. Then fol-
lowed the inclined poles; and they had te
get under q pole LAID across the track, and
as they emerged from under, after scrap
ing the ground with tfeir bodies, they
presented most ludicrous appearance
The last object of this most humorous
and puzzling race, which the now almost
exhausted runners had to overcome, wal

essayed to get through the meshes. but
