A Serious Accident.


MILwAUKEE, Wis, Dec. IA Sc
rious accident occurred at the new
Northwestern depot last evening, just
after its opening. The elbow of a
steam pipe in one of theEooms adjacent
to the boilers was blown out aud the
steam rushed out. William Winter,
the engineer, was knock to the floor
and terribly scalded. He managed,
however, TO crawl out and save his life.
In an adjoining room, which with
dynamos, were two electricians. L. A
Carr and T. w. Case, and Herman
Boetcher. a machiniSt. The steam
suddenly filed the room in which they
were at work. Carr and Case were
both familiar with the surroundings
and although thrown to the floor man
aged to escape. They were terribly
burned and it is feared both inhaled
the seal ing steam. Boetcher was
almost Frustrated. Instead of crawl
ing out he arose and attempted to rush
out of the chamber of death. The re-
suit was that being unfamiliar with
the surroundings he fell down repeat
eddy, and when at last, rescued, he was
nearly dead. having been scalded about
the face and hands and having swal-
lowed a great deal of steam. At the
hospital it was said his chance of re-
covery was slight.

STANLEY is in high clover now.
Feasts, frolics, receptions and oVations
at Zanzibar, and royal levees awaiting
him in Europe and England, where
courts and cabinets are most anxiously
awaiting his coming, that they may
shower their favors on him, and
smother him with caresses and f1atter-
ing attentions. He is to be presented
with the freedom Of the city of London,
the presentation to take place in cere
munious form in the Guild Hall amidst
the incense of fiattery, and the scroll
comforting citizenship will be enclosed
in a golden casket. These are great
days for the explorer, and are well
worth the tolls and privations of his
three years sojourn among barbarians.

IT takes the EMPoRIA NEWS half a
column to answer the Tribune's re.
marks on constitutional convention
and say that convention of politicians
would carry out the will of the people
in constitutional convention by re-
pealing the prohibitory law, and fur
that just now the cowardly politicians
are subveTting the popular will by re-
fusing to stand up for q constitutional
convention and then they endorse the
popular verdict against prohibition .

What arrant nonsense. Young man
get your wits together. The NEWS is
not the blockhead concern you repre-

as to say that convention of politl-

stitutional convention, if composed of
brewers and distillers, could not repeal
that nor any other law. The Tribune

three-fold capacity of legislature, exec
utiye and judiciary, participated yes
terday IN the public ceremonies COM
memorating the centenary of George
Washington Inauguration, April 30,
1888, as the first president. The prin-
cipal event of the day was Chief JUS
tice Fuller's Grafton eulogistic of the
father of his country. The occasion
was grand one for the orator. No
more inspiring spectacle could be pre-
sented than that which confronted
him in the hall of the house of repre-
sentatives, when he looked down on
the assembled wisdom of the nation
represented by congressman, senators,
justices OF the supreme court, jurists,
savans and the brightest intellects of
the nation. That the chief justice
was equal to the occasion, is quite ev-
ident from the brief sketch of his ora

Now we have the truth ont. Miss
Caldwell, who hankered-for a coronet
and a title as a thousand times more
desirable than Yankee millionaire as
husband, but was unIuckily baked in
her wishes, hobs up with an DER true
tale of the whole course of her wooing
of prince Murah" She brands as a
monstrous fabrication the story that
she offered the prince SIC. 900 year as
spending money. Such paltry matters
were never mentioned by either party
until at their last conversation. They
never so far forgot the proprieties as
to mix sentiment with the mercenary
in that boorish fashion. No street She
made love to him in honorable fash

permit her to do so. That was very
kind IF the prince to be sure, aud she
appreciated it. But all the same Mon
seur the Prince kept his eye on the
business end of the game, and when
the attorneys of both parties came to-

torneys for the prince placed their fig
ures so high that the other fellows
could not consent, and the matter was
so reported to Miss Caldwell. She, too,
could not agree. She went to the

him that she really loved him-well
realIy?-aud as proof of her real love
would consent to favorable consid-

she was acting very imprudently in

would arise To make her very unhaL-
py wife-it seems tn II the lawyers were

princes than the giddy thing whose

quiesced Them says she, 1.-The

whenever my attorneys should deem il
proper to accede to his demands, he
would fulfill his marriage contract.
