LA CROSSE, May 3O.-Three men
were injured by all accident at Holway's
mill early this morning, two of whom
are expected to die, and the third is in
serious condition. A crib of lumber
just completed on the ways was
launched, but before entering the water
the grub pin caught in the ways and the
crib stuck. A dozen men went down to
start it. most of them getting in between
the ways and pushing. While thus en-
gagged another crib above them became
loosened and slipped down on them. A
warning shout was giveu, and all but
three got entirely out of the track.
Those remaining were oyertaken by
lumber weighing 10000 pounds and
crushed and otherwise injured. Matt
Seamer was terribly bruised about the
head and body and was also injured in
ternally. The physicians think there are
some chances for his recovery. Ole
Oleson was more seriously injured. Be
sides being bruised about the body, the
flesh ON the right thigh was terribly
lacerated, the bone being laid bare. In
ternal injuries were also received,
which it is thought will prove fatal.
Jacob Schultz Jared the worst. His
body was terribly bruised and the left
leg broken. 1t was necessary to ampu-
tate it below the knee. On making an
incision it was discovered that the bone
was split to the knee, and therefore the
physicians were obliged to amputate the
leg above the knee. The other wounds
of the unfortunate man were dressed,
and he was removed to his house on
Tenth street. He is in very danger
Gus condition and not expected to live
through the night. Schultz has large
family and is poor. The other two are

BLA,INE,s NUMBER TWO

1t may seem singular that MIR.
BLAINE realized the necessity for writ
ing a second letter of declination to give
emphasis to his first, but it is still more
singular that the second one should be
received with as much mistrust as the
first one. SO much for bad reputation.
MIR. BLAINE is known to be such an
adept in political tricks that his coun-
trymen are disposed to be suspicious of
everything that he says or does. 1t is
unfortunate for him that he is held in this
kind of estimation by his fellow citizens
When the Florence letter was written
the GLOBE was one of the newspapers
In the county that gave him credit for
sincerity, not because we did not believe
Mr.. BLAINE to be capable of political
jugglery, but because we felt assured
that he had reached that age and station
in life when he could not afford it. We
confess that the subsequent conduct of
his friends caused us to begin to doubt
the sincerity Of his Florence letter; and,
even now, while the language of his
second letter is explicit enough in denial
of his candidacy, still it is not free from
the suspicion that it was written for
purpose not revealed in the lines. We
are willing, as in the frst-instance, to

balls, which, with Holidays single and
Gastfeld's wild throw. netted three
runs. This inning was also remarkable
for the number of stolen bases, Stearns
sealing 2, Shaffer l, Holiday 2 and
Aivord 1. In the second inning three
more. runs were added on singles by
Iraffly, Cushman, Stearns and Quinn.
Three bases were also stolen in this
inning. After this Burdick did better,
although the home team, being
satisfied the game was won, made
little effort to find the ball.
CuShman puzzled the visitors until the
ninth inning. Cooney's single, double
by Burns and a passed ball netted one
run i'll the fourth. In the ninth Flynn
was given life through Stearns' error.
Cooney got base On balls. Annis'
single advanced each base. O'COn-
nell was fielded out at first and Burns
struck out, after which singles by
Miller and Shannon sent Flynn, Cooney
and Annis across the plate. Gastfield
then ended the game by throw from
Macullar to Stearns. This little squirt
of the visitors gave their friends the
first opportunity to yell that had been
afforded them during the game, and
they improved it with vigOr. Score:

A Thing of the Past.

CHICAGO, May 3O.-P. G. Cretschmer,
Of Pierre, Oak, who is in the city, said
to reporter in reference to the ru-
mored Indian uprising: "The war
path is thing of the past. 1t makes the
people living on the borders of the
Sioux reservation smile. The Indian

twenty bucks could be found on the
Sioux reservation who would take the

THE PROHiBlTIONIsTs.

The proceedings at indianapolis yes
terday indicate that the Prohibitionists
are in earnest this year, and propose to
make themselves heard in the coming
national contest. Judging from the
number and the character of the dele
gates at Indianapolis, the prohibition
movement will be no child's play this
time, and the Prohibition party is not
now a party to be sneezed at. 1t is
charged that the Prohibition party is
fanatical, and that the Prohibition lead
ers are cranks. Grant it. Yet that
does not obscure the fact that the Pro-
hiDitionistS are terribly in earnest,
and that the movement is being
manipulated by men of unques-
toned ability. There is semi-relig-
iouS sentiment underlying the move
ment which assures its permanency, as
well as being guarantee of sufficient
amount of zeal being injected into the
canvass. 1t is said that the committee
charged with the work of preparing a
plan of campaign have decided to adopt
measures somewhat similar to those
adopted in the temperance crusade in
Ohio and other states several years ago.
1t is to be a sensational campaign. An
army of prohibition workers is to be OF
ganized, and detachments sent into
every state. They will camp in tents
and inaugurate a series of temperance
meetings in every city, town and vii
lage. 1t will be sort of perambulating
camp meeting, with eXhOrterS and sing
ing and praying. 1t is expected in this
way to enlist the church people in the
work. And every one who knows the
effect of a sensational campaign, like
this, will be prepared to see an unusu-
ally large Prohibition vote polled this

EAU CLAIRE, May 30.-An episode
has just leaked out here which is af-
fording unlimited food for gossip in
society circles. 1t appears that two
very popular young clergymen, both
bachelors, one residing at Menomonie
and one at Chippewa Falls, had been
for some time very attentive to a highly
esteemed young lady of MenOmOnie
who was the OrganiSt of leading
church and is the daughter of a gentle
man connected with a large manufac-
turing corporation. The Chippewa
Falls clergyman paid frequent visits to
MenomOnie, his Menomonie brother in
the cloth supposing for long time that
these visits were made to see him. The
denouement came, however, when the
young lady was observed to be wearing
a handsome engagement ring, and it
came out that the Chippewa Falls
clergyman had proposed and been ac-
cepted. The Men0mOnie clergyman
seems to have considered that all was
not fair in love, and that his brother of
the Falls had been proceeding too much
upon the old maxim. After the en-
gagement had been made known the
Chippewa Falls clergyman recently
made fraternal call upon his Menom-
onie brother, but was icily received.
When he demanded an explanation the
ice broke. Hot words followed, and
the result was the interchange of the
word Coward" and a square knock
down. The occurrence became known.
The young lady left the position as
organist of the church. One of the
parties told Hudson lady the whole
story, and the natural consequence fol-
lows that society people in Hudson,
Chippewa Falls and Eau Claire, as we'll
as Menomonie, are talking about it. 1t
is we'll known which of the gentlemen
resorted to the Sullivan method of
arbitrament and knocked the other
down, but it is not material to the story.

THE AFTERNOON RESULT.

DES MONIES. May 3O.-If it had not
ralned hard from to 8 o'clock this
afternoon, there would be no telling
now many people would have turned
out to see the second game of the day,
AS the clouds began to break an hour
9eIofe time to play, the people began to
mock to the park, and by O'Clock the
seating capacity of the grand stands
and benches was exhausted and there
was big overflow into the grounds.
Four thousand people had come out to
see eighteen men Waddle around in the
mud and go through the motions of ball
playing. Good work was out of the
question, and yet the game was
Interesting. The home team put
Kennedy in the box. and as
result, the outielderS had
plenty to do in putting out three men
on long flies and the number of balls
sent into that territory out of their
reach was quite numerous indeed, and
they generally came when they were
most productive of runs. The home
team got man ITO third i'll the fourth
inning, but did not get one across the
plate until the seventh, when base on
balls, sacrifice and two singles netted
two runs: Two more were added i'm
the eighth on Shafer's single, Holidays
two bagger and Macullar's single. This
ended the run getting for DeS Moines.
Meantime Omaha had been lining out
Kennedy's curves consecutively in va.
cant parts of the field. Two singles, a
double, a passed ball and an error
netted three runs in the second and
three more were made i'll the
seventh on singles by Flynn,
Cooney and Annis. A double
by O'Connell and single by Burns, all
made in succession, winning the game

usual in his decisions. He showed no
partlallty, his lack of judgment falling

that lie is totally incompetent for the
task is apparent to all who have seen

afternoon a peculiar incident arose.
Manager Morton last evening took
Str0ng exceptions to O'COnnell's style
of coaching, as his language was not
calculated to add pleasure TO the large
number of ladies who attended the
games here, and Manager Seele prom
!Sed there should be no more of
1t. This afternoon O'COnnell started
his racket again, and Brennan's atten-
tion was called to it. He ordered him
to the bench and upon his refusal called
in policeman to put him off tue field.
The excitement was intense and the
threatening attitude of the players on
both sides as they fiocked around first
base. where the difficulty occurred, indi-
Gated row, but Manager Morton told
Mr.. Brennan that he had no authority
to have player put out of the field, and
that his remedy was in fine or the for
feiture of the game, if O'Connell in
O in xrin nlnfi l,n
ordered OCOnnell to the bench, and his
talk was heard no more. Seele after
wards said that the conduct of the first

DETROIT, May 30.-The particulars of
the fatal stabbing at Lake Park yester-
cay, are as follows: A tramp came to
BjornStad's house some ten days ago,
and was taken in and fed, as he was
destitute he remained until yesterday,
when BjornStad went out to his stable
to hitch up his team. The tramp was in
hiding behind the stable door, and
jumped out and stabbed BjornStad four
times in the breast and side. BjornStad
then called his wife to bring out his
gun, but she fearing he had
got into quarrel and might kill some
one, and not knowing what had taken
place, failed to comply with his request.
The tramp then made his escape, and
BjOrnstad got his gun and pursued him
some forty rods, when he fell. Bjorn-
stad had some money in his house, and
it is supposed that the tramp learned of
it and intended to murder him and his
wife and then steal the money. Bjorn-
srad is an old resident in this county
and good man, and the excitement
over the affair is running very high.

taks Mr.. BLAINE at his word, and to ac-
cept his statement that he will not be
candidate. Yet, we think that we can
detect the motive OF the mysteriou
manipnlatiOns that have been carried on
by his friends in spite of his open dec
linatiOn.
By this time Mr. BLAINE has realized
that he cannot get unanimous nomi-
nation at Chicago. If he could get it at
all, it would be only secured by a des-
perate struggle. He has, however, sue
ceeded in massing his forces, who will
go into the Chicago convention with the
balance of power in their possession.
That they will be in position to dictate
the nomination Is no longer a question
of doubt, and that the BLAINE forces
will be hurled against GRESHAM is
equally we'll assured by the tone of Mr..
BLAINE's s last letter. His emphatic af-
firmation of the doctrine of protection
is direct thrust at the Western Repub-
licans who have been coddling GRESHAM
as the representative of the tariff reform
idea now prevailing in this section. Mr..
BLAINE'S 5 intimate relations with JAY
GOULD are another reason for suppos-
ing that he is opposed to GREsHAM's
nomination.
Now the question is, who will be
BLAINE's legatee? Will it be DEPEw
or PHELPS? That it will not be SHER-
MAN or GRESHAM is beyond dispute.
Or will the BLAINE leaders think it pol
icy to turn to the West for candidate
who is known to be in thorough accord
with the protection idea? In that event
Gov. ALGER, of Michigatt, would prob
ably be the favorite. At all events, the
assurance that Mr.. BLAINE is out of the
field himself, but that he proposes to
take hand in naming the nominee of
the Chicago convention, gives addi-
tional interest to the situation. and will
end excitement to the scenes at Chi
cago when the convention assemblies.

DEMOCRATS are not alone in the be-
lief that MinnesotianS, irrespective of
party, can only obtain relief from the
burden of the iniQuitous tariff through
the Democratic party. The following
from the Chicago Times is an instance:
Mr.. j. A. MOORE a banker and wheat
buyer of Detroit, Mimi, was in the city yes
terday. He has been a lifelong Republican.
but he says he believes the Democrats are 60
ing to carry Minnesota this year. The Scan
dinavians, he says-and the agricultural
population of the state is mainly of that
nationality-are almost to Il man in favor of
tariff reduction. They are also in favor of
prohibition, and are leaving the Republican
party on that account. Mr.. MOORE SAYS
many of the prohibitionists will join the
third party and many who think more of
tariff reform than of prohibition will go to
the Democrats. Both will help along
the defeat of the Republicans, who, in
the last gubernatorial election, carried the
state by very slim majority.
Other Republicans think the same
way, but haven't the frankness to SD eak
out.
