THE WINTER CARNIVAL
Formal Opening OF the Icy Festiva ~
Montreal.

MONTREAL, Que, Feb. 6.-The winter
carnival opened here Monday morning un.
der the brightest auspices, SO far as the
weather was concerned, as it was most
proprous and seasonable. The city was
gayly decorated with flags and
looked as If holiday was In pro.
gress. Immense numbers Of visitors,
chiefly from the United States, arrived since
saturday. and the hotels are all nearly
filed. The citizens apparently are devOt.
ing themselves to make strangers welcome,
Is there is practically nothing else exciting
attention al present. For hours before the
arrival OF the Governor General, which
took place between and O'Clock,
thousands collected on the streets through
which his EXcellency and suite had to pro-
coed TO the Windsor hotel. Awaiting at
the depot was a military guard OF honor,
consisting st 100 men Of the Third Bstta.
lion. Victoria Rifles, headed by the
splendid band OF the corps, and was
drawn up in open order on the platform
reserved for the train, The guard was I'm.
der the command OF Capt. Anderson and
Lleuls. Bacon and Edwards. A detach.
ment OF sixty men OF the city police
force was also present in the station
and did good service In keeping back
the crowds. Detachments Of twenty
men each were also stationed at the
arch aud at the Windsor Hotel, under
command OF Sub Chiefs Maher and Laney.
Cons'aDies were also posted all along the
route taken by the party. A large party OF
citizens, headed by the mayor and city
council, together with several military OF
dcers on the staff, received their
EXceencies, the Marquis and
Marcaioness Of Lansdowne, on their arrival.
Ga aIignting from the official car the mill.
tary band struck up the National anthem,
and Is the ViCeregai visitors passed down
the platform between dense lines OF citi
zenes the accamatioBs were most enthusi-
astc, On his Excellenoy making bis exit
from the station the first troop OF cavalry
gave the usual salute. A procession was
then formed and proceeded TO the
Windsor, the military being In the
cayacade. All along the route the demon.
strations were very loud and hearty. AT
the Arc de Triomphe, which was unique In
its pcturesqueness, with the snow. shoers
in full national costume, like hive OF bees
covering the top and sides, there was
very marked and inspiring greeting to the
Vlceroy and the Marohoiness by the great
crowds filing the streets. Near the hotel
a choir Of 200 or 800 persons welcomed
their ExceIencies with the national
anthems Of the Empire and
Canada. A complimentary address on
behalf OF the city was presented to his
Excellency after entering the Windsor by
the Mayor, who was accompanied BY the
Aldermen. A torChlight procession took
place in the evening by the two French
Canadian snow-shoe clubs, and the ice
palace was illuminated. Their Excelen.
cies went to the grand military ball given
BY Lieut.. Col. Oswald and officers Of the
Montreal garrison artillery In the Queens
Hail. The total number OF visitors by
the railways since Saturday is estimated
at 10, 900.

DELIBERATE MURDER.
A Farm Hand Killed by German
Tramp ON an Island la Lake
thamplain.

ALBANY, \. Y, Feb. Oscar Meyer,
alias Won Pumberg, was arrested at the
United States recruiting station here
charged with the murder OF Herman Kru
ser on Grand Island, in Lake Champlain.
Kruser was a young German farm hand,
who left the island for st. Adams two
weeks ago with Won Pumberg, as the
German tramp was called. The same day
Won Plumberg returned and endeayored
TO get possession OF Herman's cloth
ing, saying that the latter had frozen his
feet and wanted them. 1t was noticed
that be had oh Hernan's leggins and rub.
Der boots. His request was denied, and he
departed. He was seen next day at o
farm house near Lapham's Bay, where be
bought an AK for 80 cents and borrowed a
hand-s sled and piece Of rope. He ex-
planned that he was going out to cut hole
in the ice IN order to fish. When hs re.
turned the sled a day afterwards he had on
Herman's overcoat. In reply to questions
about Kruser he said he had gone ON to st.
Adams. A day after this he appeared
again at the settlement and endangered to
get Herman's trunk from Wilcox, but the
latter refused to deliver it except on Her.
mans order. Won Plunbery went away,
and tHo days later he again returned with
an order purporting to have been written
by Herman directing his trunk and cloth.
ing to be given to Won Plumberg, but
Wilcox refused to surrender the articles.
Won Pumberg hung around for day or
two aud then disappeared. In the mean I.
time the suspicious OF the community had
been aroused. The track She men took
toward ST. Adams was gone over. Blood
was found upon the ice, aud the track Of q
sleigh led TO the hole which had been cut
by Won Plumberg. Friday last the body Of
the unfortunate kruser was brought to
view. 1t had been stripped Of clothing
and was punctured with dirk wounds.
Officers traced the murderer here. He
claims he is innocent, but the evidence 10
very strong against him.

erin law, which might naturally have
been supposed to be neutral ground. But
both men were armed, aud there was an
ocean of bad blood between them. They
drew their revovers, and several shots were
exchanged with mittra!leuse rapidity. Per.
haps 1t was owing to the great nervous ex.
element under which both men labored,
or perhaps under bad msrksmanship, but
neither Smurr nor the colonel was hit BY the
flying bullets. The Independence police
have gone on the double quick TO the seat
Of war. Smurr's dog that worried Crisp's
bull has fed to Kansas.

Queer Freak Of q Wabash Railroad Car
Near Milan-What Ne1tr

Near Milan-What Ne1if
MILAN, Mo. Feb. 8.-The Wabash train
from Green City to this place met With .
singular accident Wednesday morning.
The car next to the engine broke loose from
the tender and also from the oar next be.
hind it, and started out at RICH. angles into
the country. The other cars closed up the
gap and the engineer kept on for more than
a mile before he found out that he was dis.
connected with the train. The strangest
feature about the whole matter was that
the disappearance Of the front car never
disturbed the rest Of the train, not even
waking up the sleeping passengers. The
railroad men agree In saying that It was one
of the most singular freaks they ever knew.
The car that took q notion to run of on a
tangent was loaded with iron, and the
train at the time was moving about 20 miles
an hour.

The market closed feverish and irregular,

The selling of Union Pacific during the last

A HEROIC DEED.
Train with One Hundred Passengers
Saved from Destruction.


d. Rafael X. Quintero, a Mexican, who for
several years was employed at Pittsburg, Pa,
as mechanical engineer, and is now on in
spector on n Mexican railroad, has recently
distinguished himself as hero. lie was en-
gagged at the intersection of two Mexican
railroads in the work of raising one of tho
tracks in tho vicinity of an embankment and
placing cross-piece in position. A large
gang Of men were employed, and they had
just succeeded in suspending the CROSS piece
over the ditch or embankment whom the
shrill whistle of an approaching train from
Merida was heard. All present became filled
with terror as the passengers were doomed
to terrible death, as were also the
workmen and horses who were unable to
leave tho track Mt that moment on account
of the enormous weight Of the cross piece
which they suspended. The train camo
laundering along, when Quintero, procuring
a red flag, ran UP the track and gave tho
danger signal. The engine was blowing of
steam, and thick clouds of black smoke
issued from the stack, so that Quintoro was
invisible to the engineer, and the train came
along with full speed. The brave inspector
did not move from his position, and when
he hurled tho flag to one side, flung himself
upon the seat of the engineer, pressed
violently upon the lever and succeeded in
stopping the train not thirty meters from the
,yawning ditch. The train was crowded with
passengers. Twenty minutes after 1t was
stopped almost the entire population of the
city of Progreso were at the scene and broke
out into EXPLANATIONS of delight over the
heroiSm of the young inspector.
