extention Of the Black Hills Railroad,
was in this city Saturday night.
A collision between two work

the bridge over Union Creek, on the
eastern side Of the village, badly in.
Turing both engines. throwing one
flat car to tho bottom of tho ill east of
the bridge, and completely breaking
it up and leaving it with the trucks
on top. Several other cars were
thrown diagonally across the track,
but strange to SAY both engines re-
NAMED on the track although both
with their tenders were on the bridge.
Engineer Bankinsen remained on his
engine and was ulinjured. The en-
sineer and fireman on the other train
jumped. No one was injured.

A POETS SUCCESS IN UPHOLSTERY.
From The London Spectator.

Abont fifteen wears ago, the following story was
told to the present writer, with reference 10 Tue
business which the poet William Morris had started
and was managing. The firm had most unex pect-
edly become possessed of actual profits TO the
amount of fifteen shlings. This being an unpre-
cedented occurrence the partners met togeIher anu
very seriously discussed how the sum should be IN
vested So prolonged these discussions that
the fifteen shillngs had time 10 get losC DeIoIe Iey
were concluded and ever since-sO our lnlOfmef
said-the beadle of the square IN which STOOD the
premises where the sum realized has been look
ing for it, Seldom such stories made up, unless
they suggest what might have happened. Ana IL is
true that at that time MOrriS's firm were working
ont eagerly and fervently in their business high
aims aud principles quite new III the trade Oh tlle
nineteenth century. These gave the real impulse
TO the work; the making of money was quite sec,
Ondary consideration. Indeed, the firm continued
to cast its bread upon the waters many years DeIoIe
IL found any of il again, as far as money went
however all this has since changed. Morris mas

who are at all intelligently watching the current OF
taste in this nineteenth century, as poet VINO mas
succeeded in bringing poetry into the material sur
roundngs of life; who has succeeded IN making the
things of common use far from commonplace; a
poet moreover, who has made successful ana

MR.. LOWELL AT ST. ANDREW7S.
E,om The London .Dailu Ners


Mr. Lowell has been elected, though by very
narrow majority, Lord Rector at St. Andrew S. The
number of votes 1882 shows that the ancient Uni
versity is better attended than she some years
ago. The victory of Mr.. Lowell will please men OF
letters and friends of st. Andrews everywhere The
election necessarily non-p0lltical on the side
of Mr.. LowelPs supporters. The stanch Tories
who voted for Mr.. Gibson did not select dis
tingushed Conservative man of letters, but poll
tician simply. and defeated Mr. Gibson Is
known as a very vigorous and effective party de-
batter lie might have been able to lay aside for an
hour the character of politician partisan if fortune
had made him Rector of st. Andrews and it would
have been interesting to see him in new character.
But probably he would admit, with the good humor
and candor which belong TO him. that in Mr.. Lowell
a more fitting choice has been made. The students
are sure. unless technical disqualification stands
in the way, to hear excellent speech from one OF
the most humorous and genial of modern orators,
from man whose sympathies are with youth, with
books, with nature. Mr.. Lowell will find all three
in excellent condition at st. Andrews. The old
Library has some very curious treasures: the men
are sturdy Scots great at football great at go and
resOlutely studOus
The old gray town with all its ancient ruins, from
the great square tower to the fallen cathedral and
the picturesque chapel of st. LeOnard's, from the
quaint loose-built pier TO the yellow sands that
border the links, is of the lOyeliest and mOscu-
rious places in Scotland The ghost of Cardinal
BeatOun haunts the CASTLE tie shades of dead Gov
enanters inform the oubiette with its bOttlenecked
entrance and walls against which the North Sea
beats nOisily in the nights of winter. Perhaps
poetry as wellsas prose may come from Mr.. LowelFs
visit to st. Andrews.
