1t Happened .Out west.

& most charming story Is going the
louds of the telegraph, which for i'm
agina'ive power beats good many lies:
"A citizen Just arrived from the Pacific
coast tells of thrilling accident to the
Canadian Pacific through express in the
mountains. A rail gave way at point
on the mountain side high above the
Columbia river. The engine passed over
safely, but the two coaches following
swung about and toppled over. The
bank was almost perpendicultr, and the
cars would have tumbled several hundred
feet into the river had II not been that
the coupling twisted around aud held the
tremendous weight. There were the two
cars, one with its load of passengers sus-
pended over the abyss. The weight of
the engine and balance of the train pre-
vented the suspended cars drawing the
whole train down. The suspense was
dreadful. The frightened passengers
were compelled to remain 10 their peril
Gus position until the train hands built
platform around and underneath the
hanging cars enabling all to make their
escape"

stein, of the wrecked steamer Idaho,
complains that since he has been in this
port he has found the most avariclous set
of robbers it has ever been his misfortune

he says his ship has been Systematically
robbed by all concerned. His own pri-
vate property, as well as blankets, silver
ware and all articles of a portable nature
belonging to the steamer, have been taken
by the people working aboard of her
while she was stranded. The captain
feels highly indignant at this sort of

pANpA4L's DAYS ARE NUMBERED.

WASHINGTON, Dec 23.-A prominent
Democrat and o:d personal political
friend OF Congressman Randall, referring
to the latters illness. says: II was in
Mr.. Randalrs room last week. was
amazed at the change which had come
over him. In my opinion he is living
simply by the force of his will power
He is dreadfullp amaciaitd, and looks
very haggard. His voice is strong and
firm, and his mind is as clear as it ever
was, but 1t is plain enough TO see that lie
is very sick man, dangerously sick
man. He may live to take his seat 10
the house once more, bpt doubt it. All
that the doctors can do now Is to try and
patch up some of tie frail links; but any
great exeriion would cause these links to
snap, and that would lie the end of him.
1t would be criminal, IN my opinion, if
the doctors should allow him to try and
take his seat at thls time. Mr.. Randali's
day, l am afraid, is over.

cold IN death, with their throats cut from
ear to ear. Shelar and his wife were
lying together across the foot of the bed,
and the three children were on the floor

way from San Francisco to this city last

Curtiss was very cordial. He said he
had warm side for newspaper men. be-
cause he was one of that much
abused class himself, and he fully ap-
preciated what the country owed to its
Journals and journalists. He said that
while he knew from pr -vious expert
ence how hoSpitable and generous the
people of the great Northwest were, vet
the excursion had been more royalty
received even than he had antiei-
pated. The object of it was to
give the visitors better knoWl-
edge of the country than they
had hitherto had an opportunity of ac-
quiring, and that in this respect it had
proven to be most successful indeed. As
to the object of the coming congress.
Mr.. Curtis was very guarded in express
ing an opinion. and would speak of the
matter in general way. He said that
the main purpose was to create more
friendly feeling among the countries
represented, and to open the way
for an extension or the trade
of the United States and those coun-
tries, which. if successful, would be of
great mutual advantage and profit.
That advantage, he said, would be fully
shared by Minneapolis in more ways
than one.
MIR. Prescott, the only United States
delegate in the party. was also
seen, and expressed himself in
the warmest terms of praise OF
the reception which the excursion
had received, not only in Minneapolis,
but at all points which it had visited.
He said this was his first visit to the
Northwest, and while he had always
had a high opinion of the resources, en-,
terprise and wealth. its reality had far
surpassed his expectations. He paid
warm tribute to Minneapolis and said
that he was convinced that she was but
on the threshold of her growth and i'm
