decorated in this manner. In corner

The Procession.

The hour fixed for starting the process
sion was $50 O'Clock. Long before that
time, however, the several bodies about to
take part in the parade We're aStir, and from
different parts of the city began to pour in
and about the Seven corners. The order of
tie formation was observed according to
the arrangements already outlined in the
GLOBE, and. owing to the adaptability of
the place for such purpose, it was carried
ont very satisfactorily. The various bodies
assigned places were promptly on the
ground, SO that when the hour arrived
everything was in readiness, and the order
to start given without delay. The order of
the columns has been previously given
AT the head OF the column marched two
platoonS OF police, twenty-fOUr i'll each,
under command of LieutS. Walsh and Nor
gan.
Following the Great Western band came
Gen. Sibley and his staff mounted,
then the Grand Army of the Re
public, soldiers and other veterans
of the war. The latter carried
their regimental cOlors, the flags whose
rent and tattered appearance sent thrill
through tine heart of every OnlOOker. Next
came the st. Paul militia companies. and
SD on in the prescribed order, the civic so
cietleS making fine display.
AN IMPRESSIVE FEATURE
of the procession appeared in connection
with the artillery. On the leading field
piece was placed caSket covered with the
national emblem. Immediately in the rear
of this was lead a riderleSS horse with u
covering of black cloth lie carried a sad
die in the stirTupS of which were reversed
4 pair of riding h1otS trimmed with Grape.
Another suggestive feature of the process
sion was found between the third and
fourth divisions. where an empty hearse
was drawn by four black horses.
The line Of the procession was down
Third street to Jackson. along jackson to
Seventh. up Seventh to Wabasha.
and thence TO the capitol. From
the point of starting to the
termination of the route the street pre-
scented almost Il continual mass of people.
EVERY WINDOW
on the line of march was also crowded with
anxious faces. Even the streets leading to
those covered by the marchers were crowded
for a half block away with people in hacks
and carriages. all eager to secure a good
view Of the procession. Shortly after the
long column began 10 move the sky low
cred as if in keeping with the occasion, and
a. gentle rain began 60 fall, which lasted
almost throughout the time occupied by the
parade. Its effect neither lcsSened the
number of spectators nor interfcred with the
afternoon exercises. as the clouds again
cleared away before the capitol was reached.
At that time the rear of the column was
still on Third street. and it took about forty
minutes IN passing a given point.

TERRIBLE ACCIDENT
To Robinson's Circus Train in Min.
nesota.
Five Employees Killed and Thirty or
More Injured.

ST. PAUL, MIMI, October "A terrible
accident happened on the Fergus Falls
branch of the Northern Pacific Railroad,
seven miles west Of there, this morning,
by which five men lost their lives and
thirty or forty more were more or less in
jured. John Robinson's show left wahpstou,
OAK, for this place, In two sections. When
within seven miles of Fergus Falls, near
small place named French, the head or
baggage section broke in two lwhile going
up heavy grade, and ten or twelve cars
went flying back at a terrible rate.
On the rear of the train
were three sleeping cars occu-
pied by workmen, two hundred In num-
Der, all OF whom were sound asleep, and
not aware OF impending danger. Tho cars
which had broken loose increased their
speed as they approached the second or
cage section, and probably had ran q mile
before they struck 1t. The engineer Of the
rear section saw the cars approaching,
but only had time to stop his train be-
fore 1t struck him. The brakemen on
the loose cars tried to put on brakes, but
they had difficulty In running from
car to car on account of the wagons,
which impeded their progress. Had the
engineer of the rear section had a moment
and avoided the calamity. But it was
too late, and the cars struck his en-
gine with tremendous force, throwing three
sleepers from the track and smashing them
beyond recognition. The result was soon
apparent. More than hundred men were
buried in the debris. The scene can hardly
be described. The night was fearfully dark,
and the groans of the men were appalling.
The people in the rear section began the
work Of removing the victims, five Of
whom were found dead, and many others
wounded and bleeding. Word was as
once dispatched 10 .hs city, and q train In
charge Of Superintendent Vining at once
hastened to the scene, and the dead and
wounded were brought here. The work Of
removing the men from thesdebris was
sorry task. A man alive and .uninjured
was taken from between two dead
ones, and 1t was simply miracle that he
escaped. Wilson, the watchman, saw that
the accident was inevitable, and he could
have saved his life by jumping, but he re-
fused to desert his comrades, and lost his
life while trying to arouse the sleeping mon.
Wilson was torn to pieces, and his mfngled
remains were strewn along the track for
some distance. His heart was found on
top Of car.

CENTRALIA, Ill, October "A little
girl, tho daughter of F. Burkley, residing
at Sandoyal, ILL.,, met her death in very
peculiar manner. The tongue OF a gang
plow had been propped up with a stick
under the tongue. An iron kettle having
four sharp pointed legs was turned upside
down. The child in playing around the
concern kicked the prop from under the
her head on one of the iron legs, which
penetrated her brain and knocked out one
eye. The poor child died in great agony.

THE COMMONWEALTH.
Leal.,lIIe Lear Tosaeee lIaeLe,.

Dark and heavy styles have ruled strong
and full, with prices 25C65Oc higher. Reggie
styles have been especially brisk, and have
marked the principal rise, a consequence OF
more general composition among the buyers
Of both leaf and lugs. Offerings outside of
these categories have been small, with no
new features. The abatment OF demand lat.
terly for Burley tobaccos is due directly to
the negative result of the failure of strong
frost indication, and to the continuance of
a term OF simply perfect weather for
bringing the crop forward successfully
through the home-stretch. It is privately
reported that an exceedingly bad break in
prices has occurred at Cincinnati, while
The dark leaf markets are generally strong.
We quote 1884 tobaccos as follows for full
