10 one habit that offended Lord bacon,

Tuesday morning, Jan. 80, 1883, in the
ia year of his age, Although confined
t. his bed for several weeks yet his death
was somewhat sudden and unexpected.
Four weeks ago deceased i'll prevtn ting his
sons team from running away la front
o. the store. wrenched his body and his
nervous System received severe shock
from the effect In Il day or two he was
taken down with an attack Of pneumo-
MIA but was apparently ralIylng from the
sickness when pleurisy set i'll and proved
fatal to the sufferer Notwithstanding the
efforts of his physicians to stay the pre-
gress oil the disease and the constant care
and attention he received from kind
hands. Mr.. Fuller was born at Milford,
New Hampshire, and came to Wisconsin
ID 1885, setting in Fond du Lac. where ne
Was engaged IN the lumber business. de

Mr.. Fuller had made his home with his
SOIL Mr. Fuller WAS for years worthy

Railroad SIIensIttGD.

At about O'Clock yesterday morning
a freight train coming west collided with
a freight train standing on the side track
in the yard of the Chicago, Milwaukee &
St. Paul Railway near the depot. One
Of the engines was badly wrecked and
the other considerably damaged. Sever
al freight cars Of both trains were
thrown from the track and demolished
and others were more or less injured. A
very large stationary engine on one of the
fats was knocked into fragments oy the
force of the collision. 1t was being shipped
from a saw mill in Northwestern Wiscon-
sin to a point in Michigan. Things we're
piled in fearful manner and the scene of
the disaster conveyed to the mind with
what terrible power the trains came to
gather. The damage done by the acct
dent is estimated at not far from SO, 900.
The collision Was caused by misplaced
switch which threw the train coming
west on the wrong side track. tortu-
nately no one was injured on either train,
and it may we'll be surmised that the EN-
ployes had to do some, jumping to save
themselves.

adjoining forty acres of land has been
bought and paid for, during the year.
From very small beginnings, little over
a year ago, the school has grown till It
now has $50 pupils under its care, over
one hundred of when are normal stud
ents, old enough to teach. The school
has five teachers, all graduates of the
Hampton Normal School, at Hampton,
Virginia, except one. In addition to the
special work of preparing teachers, atten-
ton is 10 be given 10 the various industrial
pursuits. The farm will be cultivated
largely by the students and they will
there be taught the best methods Of farm
ing. As soon as possible printing Office
will be opened, a carpenter shop, sewing
and cooking school for girls and such 9TH
er industries rs may he thought necessary.
For two days, with great satisfaction, ]
attended the session Of this school, go full
OF promise to the colored people and to
the entire state of Alabama. All the
work on the building has been done by
cnlored mechanics. In conversation with
some Of the older people, who were
brought up 80 slaves and whose children
are now members of the school, / learn
ed something of the deep affection they
feel for it. One of the most encouraging
features is the warm interest taken in it
by leading white citizens of the place.
Col. Bower, Colonel in the Confederate
service, sold the school one hundred acres
of his old homestead for FIVE hundred
dollars, General Warner, leadipg citizen
forty acres of timber land for seventy five
dollars, Hon. w. F. Foster. speaker OF
the Assembly, has shown a great interest
in it, G. W. Campbell and NJ. B. Swan
son, leading white citizens of the place
with Lewis Adams, a leading colorpd cit
izen, constitute the State Board of Com
missioners for the school.
The hospitality l enjoyed at Tuskegee
and the hearty welcome extended on
every hand, will live among the most
pleasant of my southern experiences.
Our northern papers speak Of two feet
of snow in Chicago, We have had just
about as many feet of water within the
last few days 1t turned very warm last
week and it seemed as if everything
above US, literally, melted and came tum
bling down upon the earth. The Talla-
posa got full and ran over. the Coosa did
the same and both together came rushing
down into the Alabama and it took on
the appearance of the sea, opposite Mont
g0mery. The water spead out 7 miles
opposite the city, leaving only the tops
of the trees in sight AS The water rose
filling the low places, the game fed to lhe
knobs and when these were covered they
took to the tree tops. Parties went over
from the city in boats and caught thou
sands Of coons. opossums and rabbit
knocking them down vi h a club. Many
who paid attention to drift wood have Sc
cured u enough for year.
Friday evening Miss Willard, Of Chica-
go. is to speak here, and the Jersey Lily
will play her part at the Opera House.
