ARunnMaY Train.

MARQUETTE, Mich, Feb. 17.-Last even
ing copper train of 80 cars on the Duluth
& South Shore read got out OF control of the
men ct the Prince mine, FIVE miles above
this city, and came. laundering down the
grade at the rate of over mile q minute
The shrieks of the locomotive whistle caused
thousands to rush out of doors, all knowing
we'll what was the trouble In four minutes
after the engineer blew the first danger
whistle that his train was running away
five miles above and that the main track
must be left clear for him to make The run
through the city or go in Lake Superior,
the train came laundering dowa through
the yards. The big Mogul engine Kept up
its shreks and the rueh of the cars
shook the earth, while the train seemed q
sheet of flame By the fire caused by the
friction of the smoking breaks. Nine cars
of heavy timber were on the train and
al the third crossing the timber began tot fig.
1t shot through the Dir like lightning in
all directions. Buildings were demolished
and cars thrown from the track in every d.
rection Three cara he'd TO the engine and
dragged fourth with timhers caught under
the wheels. The engine stopped wilhin 200
feet of tie sharp curve which would surely
have thrown it into the lake. For three
books limbers ard car trucks and cars are
scattered. Two streets uro bockaded. The
engineer and fireman stuck TO their posts.
One brakeman jumped in the dark not know
ing he was in the city, so swift was the rush
Of the train. He was saved by being thrown
into an immersa show dlift. The conductor
and other brakemen cut loose the caboose
and escaped. 1t is marvellous that the only
loss of life was Governor Swneford's great
Newfoundland dog, which was killed by one
OF The hying timbers.

TIE FARMERS Of Minnesota are wiser

THE FARMERS Of Minnesota are wiser
now than those OF Virginia. They evident
10 know what is best for their own Interests
and that they can we'll afford to stand the
tax on wbiskey and .oleomargarine' neither
Of which they are compelled to use' pro-
vid d the tax on all the necessaries OF lie
they have to buy be removed. AT their re-
cent State convention at St. Paul they adopt
al the following resolution:
We demand the revision of the present
;ninnitous tariff and ask our Minnesota del
epates in Washington to use their utmost
e6deavors to have placed upon the free list
lumber. iron, salt, wood, coal, and all ar
tioes for which trusts" have been or may
hereafter be formed, as the producers OF the
Northwest are forced to sell their products
in competition with the producers Of the
O,d World. They ask also to be allowed 10
nnrchase in the cheapest markets without
paving this no longer necessary tribute 10
our own government.
The Virginia farmers, on the contrary or
rather the men who said they represented
them at their late assembly, declared for q
protective, that is high, tariff on the neces'
garies of life, aud for the repeal Of the tax
on whiskey and oleomargarine. What pos
sesaed them to do so the Lord only knows.
