University switch, distant less than a
mile from Minneapolis on the Manitoba
Short line, was the scene of deplorable
and fatal accident on yesterday afternoon.
The Chicago express on the Royal route
was derailed at that point, resulting in the
instant death of William Harrity, of ST..
Paul, the engineer in charge, and Melvin
Roberts, of Elroy, the baggageman, and
the serious injury of Charles Vandervort,
brakeman. J.W. Cunningham, of Min
neapolis, the fireman, escaped, but how
was a mystery to him he was unable to ex-
plain.
The Inflated train is due in st. Paul at
1926 in the afternoon. and arrived on time
After remaining at the Union depot until
2:30 it pulled out and proceed
ed on its way to Minneapolis,
via the track of the Manitoba short line,
which route hence to Minneapolis is used
by the Royal Route conformity with the
latter road. Twenty minutes later it
reached the point of disaster, running at
high rate of speed, where it encountered
an open switch and calamity. At Univer-
sity place there are three switches, used
among other purposes for the transfer of
trains from the transfer to the main track:
also to the track leading to the Omaha
yards. Here man is specially employed
by the Manitoba and Omaha lines to care
for the switches, and by every means at his
command to avoid the danger of an acct.
dent. He has specific orders from both
these corporations that neither of the
switches are to be turned until after the
semaphore is set to the danger signal.
That the situation may be properly under
stood the following diagram is furnished:

Especial Telegram to the Globe.
New YORK, June 20.-The market for
stocks has been excited and unsettled
during the greater part eff the day, helped
greatly by late kilograms from Chicago,
which caused uneasiness and the unloading
of holdings by many operators. Bears
did all they could to assist the decline,
and succeeded we'll in their attempts.
Transactions were particularly heavy in
st. Paul, Lake Shore, New York Central,
Delaware& Lackawanna, Jersey Central,
Louisville & Nashville, Western Union
Telegraph and Northern Pacific preferred.
MIR. Gould's stocks were not sus-
tanned. Western Union sold at S558,
Wabash at 1925, and Missouri Pacific at
1919, Jersey Central touched 81, a drop of
3 per cent. from last evenings figures.
This was natural, as it has had the greatest
advance during the late rise, having sold
at III within month Reading fell
from 5815 to 5638 There were sharp
rallies in some instances from lowest
points. Pullman Palace sold at 100. The
feeling was steadier in the final dealings,
Much depends upon the situation in Chi
cago. Should no more important failures
occur the stock market will not be slow in
regaining the losses of to-day.

CRIMES.
AN INFANT BLUE BEARD.

PHILADELPHIA, June 2O.-The police to-
day found in the cellar of the dwelling,
2,243 North. Fifth street, formerly occupied
by Dr.. Isaac Hathaway, the alleged abor-
ZIONIST, the bodies of several children and
a large number of human bodies. Dr.
Hathaway was arrested in March 1881,
with Rev. Thomas B. Miller, for com
hitting criminal malpractice upon Mary
Butler, erV ant girl, whose child died
after the Cperation. Both were admitted
to bail ana b sthsway fed. He, however,
returned e 3 lie city some time ago, but has
never bee n Z earrested on the charge. Three
months ago his wife charged him with
brutally ass lulting her and threatening her
life. She asked to have warrant issued
for him, but subsequently withdrew the
charge. She told the officials at the time
that her husband had performed several
criminal operations upon her, and she
knew he had performed hundreds of others.
Up to 4 o'clock this afternoon twenty
skulls or portions of skulls of infants had
been found buried in the cellar of the
dwelling. DR.. Hathaway is now in the
county prison, charged with assaulting a
relative. The coroner has lodged de-
tanner at the prison against him.

waukee says that Alexander Mitchell has
addressed letter to the New York Tribune
denying certain published reports to the
effect that he was interested with McGeoch
in his late lard deal. He states that he
never had personal interest in the grain
or provision markets, aud had always con-
demned attempts at cornering the produce
markets.
ARMOUR ON THE SITUATION.
CHICAGO, Ill. June 20.-A feeling of I'M
easiness still exists among the commission
merchants on the board of trade and officers
are very much mixed owing to an in
ability to get books Strengthened up from
the confusion into which the past few days
of excitement have thrown them. Sugges-
tions have been made to the board to ad-
journ for day as was done a couple of
years ago, in order to give time to settle
accounts. It is said to be common &C.
currence now for calls for margins to be
made where no trade exists. One broker
this morning had $50 tierces of lard, on
which there was difference of $62 against
him. He was called for $1,000 margins,
but before check could be sent a change
in the market made the deal even.
Nothing new is learned here in regard
to McGeoch, except that he remains at his
Milwaukee home utterly Frustrated. John
R. Bensley. receiver for the broken firm of
McGeoch, Everingham & Co., says it will
require three months to fully settle the af-
fairs of the firm, as trades to the extent of
Sl0,000,O0O, scattered all over this coun-
Try and Europe, are involved. At the Office
of the firm, however, it is said that, though
the business will not be fully settled, a
statement of assets and liabilities will be
forthcoming within week.
P. T. Armour, the head of the
great packing firm of Armour
d Co, says he don't believe there
will be another failure on the board, and
that there was no cause for the one failure
to-day, except lack of nerve; that if
this firm had called on its friends they
would have seen them through; that as it
appears now there is no more uncertainty
than usual; that the provision trade to-day
was immense and never better; that orders
for provisions are coming in from all
parts of Europe and this country; that
property has changed hands and is now
in the possession of merchants
who can cary it and have facilities
for distributing it; that on the whole
he believed the failures would have a good
effect for the future, as it would make men
more coutious about going in beyond their
depths. Mr.. Armour showed the following
dispatch from his brother, H. o. Armour,
in New York:
''We are in good shape. The trouble
appears to be local in Chicago. The
cyclone will be forgotten in ten days by all
except those hit"
NJ. S. Nichols & Co. are paying all diff
ferences as fast as they can be checked up,
and expect to resume in few days.

Thought He Was "a Ghost.



A negro attired in white shirt and light
pantaloons, entered the dwelling of Mr.
Brode at San Francisco and began to ransack
the sleeping apartments. While so engaged
Mrs. Brode saw the thief, and took him to be
the ghost of a young man who had died in
the house She jumped out of bed and fell
on her knees. The burglar at once took in
the situation, allowed her to continue unde-
ceived and went on with his nefarious work
Presently the husband awoke, saw what was
going on and was Immediately seized with
the same spiritual fear He jumped out of
bed, and although there was a loaded gun
handy to more etfectually lay the "appari-
ton, he pumped down beside his wife, ac-
companying her supplications until the
thief had got all he wanted and had made

May carry wide from each roadside
The treasure Of the thistle down.
o thistle down. Fair thistle down.
A host of winged faucie5 spring
Into thy thoughts, and with them bring
Uncontrolled memories old
OF days fair as thistle down.
o thistle down! White thistle down.
In olden, golden summer hours,
Through meadows sweet with woodland flowers,
My light heart blest with peaceful rest,
walked amid the thistle down.
o thistle down! Light thistle down!
Your barbs have stung my careless breast,
You I'LL my soul with wild unrest;
fearful gaze these summer days
On silver of the thistle down.
o thistle dow. Barbed thistle down.
Your beauty mooks my sense of pain;
MY faith, my trust, your barbs have slain;
For friends, who seemed true as dreamed,
Are false and light as thistle down.
o thistle down! False thistle down.
Scatter thy flakes DER hill and lea,
Thy harbs alone remain with me;
Love, friendship, faith, joy, life and death,
Are but barbed thistle down

A Possibility of the Future.
.Tennyson.

London st. James Gazette.
On more than one occasion during the last
5000 years the barbaric hordes OF the East
have overlooked their boundaries and have
swept westward, overwhelming the young
civilization of Europe and obiterating near
ly all the landmarks of Western art and
progress; and at the present time if we may
credit the Pekin correspondent of one of the
Calcutta papers, there is in China powerful
and rapidly-growing party that advocate the
making of yet another gigantic excursion to-
ward the land of the setting sun. The Celes-
tial Empire is, no doubt, immensely over
populated, and will probably ere long seek
some new outlet for her surplus citizens but
1t is difficult to believe that she will attempt
save by peaceful means to attain the desired
result. The great unknown country has
been quiescent for so long that it is almost
impossible for a European to contem plate
that the sleeping myriads should ever again
put forth their herculean strength. Yet, if
China were to awake; if she were to look
westward with covetous glance, and were to
once more burst her bounds, in response
to that mysterious impulse which in the
East occasionally seizes upon a whole people
how could she be resisted? According to
the last edition of the Bevolkerung der Erde
she has population of 434, 600, 900; and sup
posing that estimate-for it is only an esti-
mate-to be even approximately correct
China could put into the field more soldiers
than there are souls in Germany and, if she
80 willed, could, with a host of 80 600 O00
trample all the civilization of Europe be-
meath her feet.

Cleaning.

After dark the wood-thrush sings
A moment, then the world ia still,
Nor any restless thing of June
Marbles fragmentary trill.
Perhaps the silence comes to fill
A heart just emptIed of delight,
Across which. II murmur rings,
Ruffies q cavernous alright;
So round this suddenly there clings
The greater hollow of the night.
For all the quivering heats OF noon
Have made a torrid lapse in life,
And after 1t pulsing red
Has gushed, like blood beneath knife,
Low in the west, and so the day
Has wildly run j, self away.
Nor any star CLEANS overhead
But far and near one wide gray pail
Grapes hill and field with fold and fall
OF shadow-as the influence
OF nature feels a kinder sense,
And lest her lavish tone OF splendor
Perchance might Iudely sting and thrill,
This gloom is strangely sweet and tender,
Enwrapping where it may not fill,
And the atoned negation and surrender
OF this dead silence deeper still.

A Summer Song.

When winds were low and bright the summer
hours,
Some minstrel, wandering through my garden
fair.
Forsook his harp, and left it standing there
With silent strings among the wondering flow
ers.
With gentle touch to wake its murmurings,
In vain the lily and the rose essayed:
But once the summer wind across it strayed,
And with sweet music throbbed the golden
strings.
Whilom my heart had learned no melody,
But in Life's garden hung with silent chord;
And gil Che days sang no swert song to me,
Or answered every touch with Cares discord;
Until on dancing feet Love strOlled along
And all my heart was musical with song.

Summer Ewes.

Fair summer ewes, as twilight lies
On the dim earth ana distant skies,
And moon and stars with silver light
Tremble upon the steps of night,
Expression in a rapture dies.
Evenings warm odors round me rise,
Sweet as if blown from paradise,
OF fairy gardens of delight,
Fair summer ewes
And yet, half to my own surprise,
feel the tears o'erflow mine eyes,
For absent friends ye call to sight,
Tones, hopes, that made existence bright,
That now are only memories,
Fair summer ewes!
