UNION DEPOT SCENE
During One of the Periodical
Cpushes of That Institution.

There was big jam at the union
depot about 8 O'Clock yesterday after
noon, when several hundred people
were waiting for the train to take them
to the picnic grounds at White Bear
lake, where the Knights of Labor had
gone 20 commune with nature. Right
III the middle of the jam was big fat
woman, and attached to her very
little man with life-nearly-
squeezed-out-of-me expression on
his face. AS the crowd pushed toward
the gates the big woman begun to per-
spire copiously, and get red in the face.
The little man, however, seemed quite
at ease, as he was hidden from the jabs
of the crowd by the volumiDous proper
lions of his wife-as the woman proved
to be. "Gracious me! but | am being
killed." gasped Her Corpulency, pant
ing like fire engine in distress. In a
moment her complexion had changed
from lurid red to deadly white, and
with a gurgle she sank to the floor in a
dead faint, crushing her diminutive lord
underneath. A policeman rushed in
and dispersed the crowd, while some
body procured cupful of water, which
was doused into the faintee's face. In
a few seconds she recovered hef senses
and begun spIuttering like a whale.
Several men assisted her to her feet,
while her little husband stood looking
on in helpless way.
"Why didn't you lift me up, John?"
she inquired of him irately.
"My DEAR" said he, timidly, as he
smoothed out his hat, which she had
crushed into sorry-looking thing, II
would have done so, but"
'.Faugh! Shut up and come along"
broke in his spouse, as she wiped the
water from her chin, and the crowd soon
hid them from sight.

Youths Companion.
Fifty years ago the famous surgeon of
London was Sir Ashley Cooper. He
was remarkable for his manual dexter
ity and also for the quickness and &C
euracy with which at glance he took in
the whole situation. A striking proof
of his penetration was given on his be-
ing called to attend a Mr.. Blight, who
had been shot by an unknown assassin.
The moment Sir Ashley examined the
wound he said: IA pistol has been
fired at you with the left hand"
On seeing Mr.. Patch, Blight's partner,
he was so struck by the peculiar ex-
preston of his countenance that he
whispered: IF that gentleman were
left-handed, should suspect him OF
being the murderer"
Pitch was left-handed, and, On being
tiled and condemned, confessed his
guilt.

A Sunday Night Blaze.

About $50 last evening fire alarm
was sent in from the corner of Rosabel
and Seventh streets. The back portion
of r. III. Jennings one-story frame to-
baccO store, at 296 Seventh street, was
ablaze, and for short time it looked as
though the results might be serious,
owing to the many frame buildings in
that block. The prompt response of the
fire department, however, rendered the
loss but nominal one. About 81, 600
worth of tobacco and cigars were de-
stroyed, and $500 will cover the loss on
the building.

wrist while handling hose by falling

Attempted Fraud at the Expense

James F. Rankin was yesterday To-
Gated in the county Jail by Detective
Benson, of Duluth. Mr.. Rankin is a
very fresh young gentleman. He Sc
cured some stationery owned by
Messrs. George Benz & Son, of St.
Paul, and with the aid of a type
writer, proceeded to appoint himself
agent in the Northwest for this
great firm Of wholesale liqnor dealers.
Mr.. Rankin did this in st. Paul, having
the letter mailed to himself at the
Spaulding hotel, Duluth, and speeding
in subsequent train to receive it. With
this letter it was his intention to work
Messrs. Benz's customers for nice pile
of money, but his little scheme was
prematurely nipped by the ever vigil
liant detectives. When arrested three
checks were found upon him, aggregat-
ing $3.50, ostensibly to be worked off
towards the disadvantage of Messrs.
