BIRTHDAY ANNIVERsARY.

On Tuesday evening, the 18th of Octo-
bsr, the young people of Grand Wen, in
response to invitations, assembled at the
residence of Mr.. and Mrs.s HoIlIngs-
worth to celebrate the sixteenth anniver-
sary of their daughter, Miss Katie. A
lovely moonlight evening lent its charm
TO the scene, and soon after their arrival,
the sweet strains OF music and merry
peals of laughter announced that the
festivities of the evening had begun.
After some time spent in viewing the
presents which were numerous and
very handsome, the time was spent
In playing games until ten
o'clock, when a beautiful supper was
served. 1t was one of those
grand affairs such as only
some of our good housewives can
give. 1t did much credit to the hostess
and drew many remarks of admiration
from the guests present. After supper
After supper music and games were in
dnlged In until II O'Clock when the
guests, after showering the congratula-
tions and good wishes for the future
upon the young hostess, bid adieu to the
scene and departed homeward feeling
that they had spent very happy even
ing and that the event was one well
worthy of long remembrance.

On Thursday morning last as the
freight train of Conductor P. D. Moran.
which runs from SIouz City TO Eden, d.
T., was leaving Oak Point going north,
a young man climbed upon the top of
the -boX-ear of the moving train He
wore neither coat nor shoes, had pieces
of old -four sacks tied around his feet
and q generally wild appearance. After
the train had got under full Roadway he
ran along thu top of the tram and began
vigorously to set the brakes. Brakeman
E. p. Reader ran after him, and reached
him just as he had set four brakes
Reader asked the man if he wished to
stop the tram, to which he replied,
NO"

"To Sioux Falls" g.
"Have you ticketf"
"No."
"Well, you had better see the conduc-
tor and get one"
At this suggestion the man ran swift
ly toward the front of the tram. at one
place jumping from the top of box-car
to the center of an empty fiat-cas, and
falling down. He climbed over the ten
der, jumped on to the top of the engine
cab, and, standing erect, waved his
hands about hun. He was finally shoYed
by the brakeman from the train at West
field. From this place he evidently
walked a distance of nineteen miles to
Calliope, and there climbed into an emp
ty box-car. AS the same train came
south on Thursday afternoon it took the
empty box-car from Cailiope TO Elk
Point, where in putting out the car the
braksmen again recognized their strange
visitor, and turned him over TO the sher-
III of Union county, and, as Is under
stood, he was put in jail. Last night, as
passenger on the train tells a reporter
when the same train was stopping al
Elk Point on Its way to Sioux City some
one uncoupled the caboose and one cal
from the train. There being q down
grade back, they ran for long distance
back upon the track. After the runaway
part of the train was caught and
coupled. and the train had pulled out for
Sioux City, Brakeman George Houtz OBJ

NEWTON, Kas., Ncy. IA horrible
yesterday morning. Freight tram, No.
II. from the east, on the A., T. & s. F.,
pulled into the yard about 10 80 8. m.
Coming from the east tkzre is quite q
stiff dewn grade for considerable dis
tance, and by some means the train be-
came divided, the front end running
down into the yard with the engine, and
there stopping, and the rear end, being
heavily loaded, gathered momentum on
the down grade, and doubtless jumped q
freq at the Broadway crossing, came
down on another track, and on reaching
the freight ONCE at the upper end of the
yard struck some other cars, doubled
and crashed into the trains on
both SIDES Of II, making one of the
most complete wrecks ever seen. Some
twelve or fifteen cars were more or less
completely demolished. some containing
grain, lumber and stone, which was
scattered all over. Four tramps boarded
one of the fiat cars, which was loaded
with stone. at Peabody. and were caught
IN the smash. One of them had his legs
so badly crushed by the stone and lum-
Der as 70 necessitate amputation. One
OF his legs was amput4ted, but seeing
that he could not live, the other was left
alone. The man died about 80 O'Clock
this morning. His name could not be
learned. It was reported yesterday that
another one of them had died, but this
report proved 20 be unfoundedS This
morning il Is stated that the others are
not seriously Injured.
