way, run by Billy Warren, ran into the
station here, and the engineer jumped
out upon the platform, stared vacantly
about, and fell upon the planks in
spasms. Charley Edwards, the fireman,
followed Warren, and running into the
telegraph Office, leaned over the opera.
tors desk, and managed to ask that a
message be sent to headquarters in Mil
waukee, saying that terrible accident
had happened to their train. Then, for
the first time, the railroad men noticed
that there were no cars behind the loco.
motive.
They began to ply Edwards with ques.
tions, and finally elected from him the
information that No. 228 had left Men
dota with twelve loaded box cars, three
gondolas, the caboose and a passenger
car at 1890 o'clock. Their run was
without incident until they reached Clin:
ton Falls, about fifteen miles from here.
Then the sky became cloudy and the
rain began to fall. Warrs@ warned the
conductor to watch the train closely, as
he did not like the appearance of the
heavens. Clinton Falls was soon left be-
hind. Of in the northwest the clouds
rolled and tumbled over one another,
and there were evidences of terrible
wind storm. Warren ran steadily along,
occasionally glancing out of the windows
of his cab. He suddenly grasped Ed
wards by the arm, and pointing to the
place in the sky where the clouds were
indulging in their gymnastics, shouted
"It's coming, CharleyW s:5..
The men could see that the masses OF
vapor were being drawn into the vortex
of rotary storm centre. Then tho
wind began to move enthusiastically
toward the train. Warren put on all the
steam he had, and Edwards shovelled in
the,-cual, until. the locomotive groaned
like monster in distress. On they flew,
but not fast enough, as the storm cloud
advanced steadily. Just then, they ap-
parently ran into vacuum, as tor mo-
ment they could not breathe. Then the
wind burst upon them.
The storm king reached down and
.picked4up every car in the train. All
the freight cars were thrown on their
sides in The ditch by the track. The
caboose and passenger coach in which
there were the conductor, two brakemen
and six passengers, were carried into an
adjacent field and gently deposited on
the ploughed ground. AS the telegraph
wires were intact it is evident that these
cars. were lifted at least twenty feet yer:
tically and then carried along. Fred
Flint, of the St. Paul Globe, who was in
the coach, says that no one realized
what had been done until they clambered
out upon the ground and surveyed the
scene. No one was injured.
The locomotive remained upon the
track. Edwards says Warren looked be.
hind him but once, and then gazed
steadily forward, without saying word,
and heayed sigh of relief when he
reached Owatonna. The shock was 80
great that it is feared Warren will never
renew his duties as engineer.
The storm did not touch the earth at
anv other point,

A Former citizens Opinion, of Anderson.

SENECA, S. c., October so, 1885.
Mr.. EDITOR: Please afford me little
space to express my joy at having visited
aeain among my friends and reviewed
the scene Of former pleasant labors. I
don't know that ever in my life have /
spent a week more pleasantly than the
one lust passed in Anderson. I am
rratifed at the ,lid, substantial, perma-
nent improvements going on, which in.
dicate that your city is to soon rank
among the very first in 8. c. Great and
wonderful changes for the better, in hand
some business blocks, in fine residences,
in opening new streets, in greatly en-
larged trade, in excellent schools, have
come to be seen since January 5th, 1877,
when I first set foot in the town.
Your citizens contributed very great
deal to make the visit of my family and
myself pleasant and profitable. We had
literally to tear ourselves away .yester-
day, and decline many earnest invitations
to remain and visit friends for days to
come. How many homes, horses and
carriages were put at our disposal, | know
Such kindness cannot be forgotten. They
are little Edens in life's journey.
T rejoice that your churches have so
much of prosperity in their work.
schools, Churches and Cemeteries says
Washington Irving, ''are q true index to
the real status of any people" You have
good cause to congratulate yourselves.
Nothing was more gratifying to me than
to see the large congregation that attend
the Baptist Church, to wait on the minis
trations of their pastor. Truly the lines
of pastor and congregation are fallen in
pleasant places.
Let me, through your valuable paper,
acknowledge the many kind words and
acts shown us by your people, one and
all. When get settled in my new home,
Imay drop you q. letter now and then.
Ihighly appreciate your paper and for
nothing more highly than for its bold,
outspoken position on prohibition.
Respectfully,

Plan to Break the Deadlock which
Meets with General Eaxnr.

CHICAGO, February 23.-The Daily SNeacs
Springfield, H. special says \ gentleman who
has intimate relations with the leaders of both
political parties here has called attention to a
plan for dispoSing of the senatorial deadlock
Which is likely to meet with considerable favor
This plan is especially commended by the ad-
herentS of Morrison and Logan, and does not
meet with any grave objection from the Far
well men. 1t is this: Should the deadlock con-
tinue until the 4th of March il is proposed to
Introduce and pass a resolution declaring va
cancy to exist. and requesting the governor to
appoint a Senator. This would dispose of the
matter until the election and meeting OF an
The compensation the republicans derive from
this plan would be securing republican Sena-
tor during the vacancy, while the democrats
would. they believe, be able to elect a demo
cratic majority i'm both houses.
The friends of this plan urge that il would en-
able the legislature to proceed directly with
business and adjourn, leaving tie senatorial
aspirants TO fight out their battles before the
people next year.
