For some days past cripple has been
going about the business portion of the
city soliciting aid from door to door of
the merchants. Yesterday he went into a
store, and after displaying his infirmities
to the proprietor, asked fora little money;
the store keeper replied that he had not
cent about him, and much as he would
like to help an afflicted man he could not
do so. Whereupon the cripple replied
well stranger, am poor man, but !
never let the cash get quite that low yet,

hauled out ten cent piece, and throwing
it upon the counter remarked, take that

Gen. Joseph Einnegan

Jacksonville Herald. 5th., inst.
When this page reaches the eyes of its
accustomed readers this afternoon, the
open grave in Evergreen Cemetery will
have received all that is mortal of Joseph
j. Finnegan-one of the best known and
best loved of Floridians. Born in Ire
land in 1914 this brave and gallant gentle
man has lived for fifty years in Florida,
and has left the beneiicient impress of his
talents, his energy and his pat, .otism
upon the state in enterprise and sacriti-
ces which will not be readily forgotten.
The highest civic tribute that can be laid
upon his grave, is to say that he was n
faithful useful citizen, and this may be
said sincerely and heartily by all who
are acquainted with the events ofhi lie
and the>&pod purposes of his heart.
General Ftsnnegan was, by rank and
position, the Alost prominent of those
who represented Florida in the late
confederate struggle, and his record as a
soldier is a record of high courage, fine
enthusiasm and unquestioned capacity.
As a man he was of that warm and
magnetic type common to his national
ity, which makes men popular and wei
come everywhere. Generous to a fault,
sympathetic, kindly of heart, and yet
firm. sagacious, and capable in business,
General Finnegan was successful in
worldly acceptations of the term.

Ground.

! OWATONNA, Mimi. Oct. 2S.-AbOut
a week ago engine 22S Of the Chicago,
| Milwaukee and st. Paul railway, run by
| Billy Warren, ran into the station here,
| and the engineer jumped out onIthe plat
form, stared vacantly about, and fell
upon the floor in spasms. Charley Ed
wards, the fireman, followed Warren,
and, running into the telegraph office,
leaned over the operators desk, and ask
ed that a telegr mbe sent to headquar-
ters in Milwaukee, saying that a terrible
accident had happened on their train.
Then. for the first time, the railroad
men noticed that there mere no ears be
hind the locomotive.
They began to ply Edwards with ques-
tiOns, and finally elected from him the
information that No. 228 han left Mendo-
to with twelve box cars, three g0ndolas
the caboose and n passenger car ut 1890
O'Clock. Their run was without incident
until they reached Clinton Falls, abont
fifteen miles from here. Then the sky
became cloudy and the rain began to
fall. Warren warned the conductor to
watch the train closely, - he lid not
like the appearance Of the heavens.
Clinton Falls was soon left behind. Off
in the north west the clouds rolled and
tumbled over one anothar, and there
were evidences of Il terrible wind storm.
The engineer ran steadily along, occa-
sionally glancing ont of the window of
his cab. He suddenly grasped Edwards
by the arm, and pointing to Il place in
the sky where the clouds were indulg-
ing in their gymnastics. shouted;

The men could see that the masses of
vapor were being drawn into the vortex
of a rotary of storm ccntre Then the
winds began to move enthusiastically
toward the train. Warren put on ali

in the coal, until the locomotive rOared
lskc q monster in distress. On they flew,
but not fast enough, as the stOrm-cloud
advanced steadily. Just then they ap-
pearautly ran into u vacuum, as for a
moment they could not breathe. Then
the wind bmst upon them.
The storm king reached down and
picked up every car in the train. All
the freight cars were thrown on their
sides in the ditch by the track. The ca
booce and passenger coach, in which
there were the conductor, two brake
men and six passengers, were carried
into an adjacent field and gently depos-
tied on the ploughed ground. As the
telegraph wires were intact it is evident
that these cars were lifted at least TWEEN
ty feet vertically and then carried along,
Fred. Flint, of the St. Paul Globe, who
was in the coach. says that no one real
lied what had been done until they
clambered out upon the ground and sur
veyci the scene. No one was injured
at all.
The locomotive remained upon the
track. Edwards says Warren looked be
hind him but once, and then gazed stead
lily forward, without saying a word, and
heaved sight of relief when he reacd-
ed Owatonna. The shock was so great
that it is feared Warren will never re-
new his duties as engineer.
The storm did not touch the earth ut
any other point.
