each sids-track, the crew sought 20
extinguish the flames aud save the
train. Passengers became excited and
prayed 10 be released from death by
fire or suffocation that seemed so near
at hand. Fora time escape seemed
impossible and several of the passen-
gers gave up. Several ladies prayed
aloud and on all faces was pictured
fright natural TO mankind when death
appears TO be only a few moments
hence. The train crew and passen-
gers worked heroicslly and men bent
forward, gasping for breath, felt their
way TO the tender and took water to
dash on the burning ties, while others
went few feet ahead OF the eLgine to
see whether it was safe TO move ahead.
Behind the road was on fire as far a.
the eye could ace, while ahead was all
darkness and mystery. But u war
death to linger in that caldron Of fire
and when the surroundings either
meant to move on or death, an effort
was worth the attempt and start
was made. The suspense and horror
OF the few moments required to pass
over the burning track and through
the terrible heat and smoke cannot be
expressed, but the train finally pulled
out OF the flames into fresh air and
safety.

OEphant had work to do for English
shareholders in respect 10 the tele-
graphic cable between England and
America \ Afriend has lately told me
the following anecdote on this sub
iect. One Of the chief persons with
whom he had 10 do in America was
the well known Jay Gould, a hnancier
of much greater Force than his new
adventurcr in such unaccustomed
fields. and against whose overwhelm-
ing cleverness his friends warned him.
His account of how he met this dam
ger was exceedingly characteristic.
He went TO the remarkable personage
in question with that fine frankness
which is one of the most polished m
struments Of diplomacy, being the
plair truth. He said 10 him Il 90
not think that your interests and
those of my clients are opposed
10 each other, but II you take
them in that light / am not equal TO
You in ability; ] cannot fight the
question with such champion rs you
are-I must 60 to the wall; jay
Gould was man enough 10 understand
and appreciate, and during the whole
negotiations treated his unusual oppo-
nent with perfect good faith and hon

pears to have experienced anything

which was battered down, tore away

inches. The committee is OF the
opinion that much Of this weight in

CLOSED ITS DOORS
Cashier of Minnesota Bank skips to Can
ada.


ada.
CvIcAGo, April IA special dis
patch from Anoks, Minn., says: The
doors Of the First National bank were
closed last evening. The cashier Ia iu
Canada. There Is a woman in the
case. B. F. Pratt, the cashier, went
to Minneapolis week ago last Thurs
day and on Fridav the bank officials
were startled by notice from the
Merchants Bank, Of ST. Paul, that
the account of the First National was
overdrawn $4,000. A messenger was
at once dispatched to 81. Paul ard the
discovery was soon made that Pratt
had drawn about $1,000 due the bank
and about twice as much more on bis
check. The bank examiner was noti-
fed aud gave the books a hssty over
hauling, which showed matters 10 be
in bad way, and that Pratt was short
100000. Not knowing when or where
the end might be, the directors con-
cluded to plSce the bank In the hands
of an examiner and appoint receiver.
II is impossible as yet to tell the ex-
tent of Pratt's villainy. The banks
correspondents, both in New York
and Chicago, also allowed him to over.
draw to the amount Of $4,000 In ad.
dition to this he raised $4,000 on a
personal note endorsed by Mrs. Nee
land, an aged widow, residing at Day
ton. who trusted Pratt to manage her
business matters to q large extent. 1t
alec appears that Pratt, in company
with H. s. Sparks, Of this city, had
been speculating in wheat and Sparks
account is overdrswn $4,000.
Last summer the good people oI
Anoka were horrified to learn thai
Pratt was on intimate terms with Q
handsome young woman of doubtful
reputation. The scandal soon became
public property and his wife took her
two children and went to Boston,
where they have since resided. Soon
after this the grass widow also disap-
peared. but 1t is alleged she has since
lived in Minneapolis, where Pratt
supported her and her illegItimate
child. There was quite contest al
the bank directory at the January
meeting over his position on account
of the scandal, but it was finally de-
cided he should close up certain busi'
ness matters with which he was fa'
milisr before seyering his connection
with the institution. II Is believed
his stealings began at that time. The
president of the First National bank
is H. l.. Picknor, a well-knewn bust
ness man Of this city and one Of th'
pioneer citizens Of the northwest. Tn,
capital stock Of the bank was $3.50, ,0UJ
Unless matters prove worse than ex
pected the 6eposltors will probably b,
paid in full. As yet no steps hav'
been taken tohunt down the sbscond
ing cashier. but reward for his car
ture will probably be offered at ono,
As be has had weeks start he Ia ur
doubtedly on the safe side OF the Can,
dian line. 1t is learned that he di'
posed OF oil of his property in th
vicinity some time ago.
