The Record OF Casualties.

Charles Edstrom, living seven miles south
of Cannon Falls, Mimi, found n team tangled
up near his place. On going to the wagon he
found John Augustine, q young man, lying
on his face in the bottom of the box dead.
Augustine left the Oxford mill with grist all
right the night before. He lived six miles
| from where he was found. Nothing is known
as to the cause of death.
While passenger train on the Milwaukee,
Lake Shore & Western road was rounding
| curve, half mile from Mgerton, Wis, the
| fange Of an engine wheel broke. The engine
| was thrown down an emhankment and four
cars we're derailed. Engineer Nelson stuck to
his post and was badly scalded by escaping
steam. The passengers, of whom there were
! fifty, were badly shaken up, but none were
| seriously injured.
| terrible confagration started in Tacoma,
w. T., which, within u short space of time
destroyed over $4OO, 900 worth of property.
| The property destroyed consists of the main
| business buildings in the principal portion of
| the city. At this time it is impossible to fore
cast the amount involved in the loss, or even
| approximate the extent of the ravages of the
| flames. 1t can be said, however, that it is the
| severest blow which ever happened to the
city of Tacoma.
! A disastrous rear-end collision on the
Chicago branch of the Chicago, Burlington
| & Quincy, near Galesburg, Ill. The second
| train was going at from twelve to twenty
| four miles an hour, while the first train was
| scarcely moving. The engineer, Case, of the
| second train, was killed. as were also two
! tramps, who were on the Rio train on another
| track, that caught fire from the wreck. Six
| freight cars were wrecked. The blame is at
| tached to the dead engineer.
Callie, the fourteen-year old daughter OF
Byrd Smith. attempted to start fire at
| Devlin, Texas witk oil in the cooking stove.
| The can exploded scattering the burning oil
| over the girl and her two sisters. Della and
| Dosi, and her baby brother. The mother,
| hearing the screams of the children, ran into
| the kitchen and found her four children in
| flames. In her frantic efforts to save her
| children she was terribly burned about the
arms. The children all died of their injuries.
serious accident occurred on Connors'
| point, in West Superior, to workmen EN-.
| ployed upon the superstructure which is be-
| ing built upon the new addition to the st.
Paul & Pacific coal dock. The floor of the
| dock is covered with bents, all ready to be
raised into place, and, at the time of the &c.
cident, eleven of them in one tier were held in
place by strips nailed from one to another.
| Just as the team which is employed for hoist
ing strained on the rope. the snatch block
gave way, throwing the strain on the rather
insecure bcnts. The entire row came down
like row Of nine pins, injuring moro or less
seriously five men. Ole Swanson received in
juries from which it is hardly possible that
| he can recover. The other four will survive.

Much indignation is expressed in Tahiti over

and 1t il difficult to see how Stanley's fate if
it he q similar one, could be concealed so
much longer. 1t is easy to account for ab-
sence of information as to his movements.
for he may have personal object to serve in
Withholding news of this character and de-
tails OF his journey would not naturally be
transmitted through native channels spon-
taneously News of his death or murder,
however, would, for the reverse Of three rea-
sons, travel fast and far, as bad news pro-
verbally does, and we should ere this, in all
probability, have received it via Zanzibar il
not via st. Paul de Loanda. Every added
day of silence of course, increases the mys-
terry surrounding Stanley's expedition, and
if he has planned thorough secrecy to create
a final sensation he will have succeeded to
admiration.

A negro of Pine Island, Ca, visited
his coontrap the other morning and
found q big black bear fast by one
foot. He cut a long pole and tried
to knock bruins brains out, but the
bear grabbed the pole, took it away
from the negro, and nearly knocked
him out of time. Then the negro,
who was plucky, went at the bear at
shot range with his ak and, after
some dangerous skirmishing, man
aged to sink the blade in the bears
side and so disabled him that he was
able to kill him with another blow or
two. The bear weighed over four
hundred pounds MaconT Telegraph.

An Enemy to Fleas.
From the Philadelnhia Record.

from Une Fnllldelpnla RECORD.
The back-scratcher has reached
Philadelphia. It comes from the Pa
cifc Coast, and out there is an ex-
ceedingly useful article. Here it re-
mains to be seen whether it has q
place in everyday life. The back
scratcher is little stiff brush with a
long, thin ivory handle, and the first
specimens seen in Philadelphia were
brought here by party of returned
tourists from San Francisco. "What
are they for?" echoed one ofthe party
to a curious reporter. "Why, we
scratch our backs with them. What
for? For feas, to be sure; and it is
fun to go into a Pacific Coast Theater
sometimes and watch the deftness
and art with which the spectators use
their back-scratcher. Fleas abound
on the Pacific Coast, and even the
most aristocratic belle of the upper
ten cannot say when one of these
pests will make his presence known.
Now you will readily see that about
the safest place for a flea to lodge is
on the back, where he is out of the
reach of all ordinary modes of dis
turbance. That is why the back
scratcher was thought of, and it is
now in general use on the Pacific
Coast, One sees. for instance, q lady
and her gentleman escort seated
quietly at the opera, listening en-
raptured to a charming tenor, when
all at once a spasm crosses the lady's
face, she twists uneasily in her seat
and finally appeals to her companion.
He at once responds with the little
back-scratcher. He thrusts it gently
down the back of her collar and push
es it on down to the spot where the
offending insect has taken refuge.
When she tells him that the pest has
been reached he proceeds to scratch
with the brush. The relief which this
affords is at once testified by the
clearing up of the lady's face and the
appearance of O soft smile ofsa tistac-
tion and comfort. One can also use
these scratchers on ones own back
with success, but more frequently the
operation is performed by second
person. We brought back these we
have with us more as curiositis and
trophies of our trip than for any 9TH
er reason. They are very interesting
to us as mementOes."

Miscellaneous News Items.

Libby Prison was sold at auction at Rich
mond for $11 900. DR.. d. d. Bramble, OF
Cincinnati, was the purchaser. When sold
privately last February, to w. II. Gray, Of
Chicago the property brought 1923 300. 1t
is in consequence of Mr.. Gray's failure to
make the deferred payments that the build
ing was sold. DR.. Bramble says he simply
bought the property to hold as aninvestment
as he is in receipt Conformation that syndi-
cate of Chicago gentlemen has been informed
to take the property off his hands at an
advance.
Twenty-four Swedish maidens, ranging in
age from nineteen to twenty five, arrived at
Castle Garden on the steamer Hecla. They
came first cabin on the vessel and were put
through the garden as q mere matter of
formality. 1t was learned that all had come
out to this country under contracts to
marry, the contracts being drawn up in New
York. The entire party left the garden.
four going to prospective husbands in Brook
lyn and the remainder out west. The en-
gagements were made by the aid of photo
graphs and considerable correspondence.
The maddest men that have been seen for
long time are the engineers, fireman and
brakemen of the Chicago. Burlington &
Quincy railway. A few months ago the en-
ployes asked for an advance, and they ex-
pected that their demands would be granted,
but they were amazed when they received
the new schedule to find that instead of an
advance their wages are reduced from IS to
SIS per month. A brakemen told a reporter
that they were upon the eve of one of the
worst strikes in the history of the road;
that it would be an equal to the strike OF
1877.
The annual meetings of the stockholders
and directors of the Northern Pacific were
held at New York. Everything was satisfac-
tory. The stockholders were highly gratifed
! ut hefavorable showing made by the annual
report, and there was no hitch in the board
of directors. One thing was made absolutely
certain, however, and that is that Henry
Willard is again the head and front of the
Northern Pacific. There was no question rs
to his election if he desired the position, but
after thanking the gentlemen present for the
honor, Mr.. Willard, in an eloquent speech,
| nominated, Gen. Thomas II. 0akes for the
presidency, and he was elected without op-
position.

New Jerseys Ugliest Man.

"Well, Ireckon I kin hev che wag>
on, said Rathole Loper, of Bridge
ton, N. j., as he stepped up to Louis
II. Dowdney, chairman of the Ugly
Mans Committee, at the Cumberland
County Agricultural Society's Thirty
fifth Annual Fair, which opened at
Bridgeton. A wagon-building COM
pany somewhere out West had offered
q prize Of n pretty road cart to the
ugiiest man who presented himself.
Loper was the first candidate.
Chairman Dowdney threw up his
hands in horror. He feared there
would be no chance for anyone else,
but happily he thought of to-mor-
rows influx OF Congressional candi-
dates, and silently recorded Loper's
name. Loper is known far and wide
through Cumberland County. He
gets his nickname from the strangely
striking resemblance of his mouth to
the dark retreat of the bead-eyed
rodent, He has big, staring eyes Of
gentle Nile-green shade. The con-
tour of his face is cross between q
cyclone-strnck pumpkin and a dog
contortionist. Nobody in Bridgeton
will have the hardihood to enter the
contest with him.

interests. The United States steamers Alert,

seems to be entirely freed from thoughts on
political matters, will remain till adjourn

Personal Gossip.

News comes from Europe that Senator
Stanford, who has been there for some time,
is the victim of an extraordinary disease He
cannot sleep when he wants to, and he can
not keep awake when he wants to. He can
hardly ever be said to be awake, and hardly
ever asleep, but perpetually oscillating be-
tween the two conditions. He does not sleep
more than minute or two at time. if we
may call it sleep (somnambuism might be
nearer correct), and his eyes do not remain
same length of time Mt stretch. He is never
allowed to walk alone for. il he tried it, he
would be sure to fall, the aomnolence coming
upon him without notice. Sticking pins in
him is no use; de dozes off, notwithstanding.
If he starts to talk with you he may get
through with a few sentences and then be
cut of in the midst OF an unfinished word,
but when he awakens to consciousness again
he has the knack of taking up the talk pre-
cisely where he left off.
