WEDDING BELLS.

A very pleasant event happened Wed
nesday at the residence of Mr.. and Mrs
J. c. Rausch, at 4l9 n. Front street, II
being the marriage of their daughter,
Miss Louise, and Mr.. Fred IL. Haupt
of St. Paul. The ceremony was per-
formed by Rev. F. NJ. Rule in the pres,
ence of about seventy-tive relatives and
intimate friends. The full ritual service
was used. Miss Lillian Haupt and Mr..
Ed Rausch, sister of the groom and
brother of the bride, stood up with the
bridal couple. After the ceremony the
company partook of some very excel
| lent refreshments. The BRIDE was the
recipient of number of choice presents
She was arrayed, during the ceremony.
in her travelling dress, and after the
meal the party took the 3:l9 train for st.
Paul, where they will reside and go al
once to house keeping.
The bride was born and raised In
this city and is therefore true
daughter of Mankato. She is very
estimable young lady in every respect
and a large number of friends will great
ly regret her departure from their midst.
Mr.. Haupt is a teller in the Bank OF
Minnesota at st. Paul and is a young
man every way worthy of the good for
tune which has befallen him in securing
so desirable wife. He has bright pro-
spects before him and enjoys the well
wishes of many acquaintanCes whom he
has formed in this city. The happy
couple carry with them the best wishes
of all for their future happiness and pros
perIty.
JoNEs-BLAIR.

of the Fiber-ware Co., stole down into
Faribault county Wednesday and was
in the evening, at 500, united in marriage
with Miss Fannie Blair, at the home of
her parents at Cass Lake. The affair has
been kept very quiet and only few init
mate friends and relatives were present
at the ceremony. The young couple
will return to this city Immediately and
go to housekeeping. A number OF
valuable presents have been received by
the bride, who is a most excellent
yonng lady. She is graduate of the
Normal, where she took high rank in
her studies. Mr.. Jones is an old resi-
dent of Mankato and is too well and
favorably known to need words of COM
mendation from us. He, too, is Nor
NAL graduate, and since 1886 has held
his present position with the Fibre
ware Co. He is a thoroughly reliable
gentleman, prompt in business and
thoroughly posted in the details of

FIRES OF THE FOURTH.
Innumerable Blazes That Keep
Fire Lads on the Run.

Innumerable Blazes That Kept
Fire Lads on the Run.
The small boy and his gray-haired
father enjoyed themselves alike yester-
day at the expense of the fire laddies.
Fireworks were exploded everywhere.
and smouldering piles of red paper and
smoking firecrackers were upon all the
street corners. There having been no
rain for several days everything was
dry AS finder, and it was little wonder
that there were many fires. Chief Jack
son, however. was prepared for any
emergency, and had every man belong
ing to the fire department on duty from
II O'Clock yesterday morning until 7:30
this morning.
The first alarm was sent in at 1888 in
the morning. occasioned by the burning
of frame shed in the rear of $50 Rice
street, owned by William Kissell. The
blaze was caused by tirecrackers. and
resulted in loss of $125 on building
and contents.
At 1924 a stand of fireworks in the
show window of Edward Tubbesing'S
confectionery store, at 2SS East Seventh
street, became iginited, causing all
alarm to be sent in. Damage, about
S125.
The residence of William Delaney,
city fire warden, at 312 West Sixth
street, was scorched to the amount of
$50, giving the department run at :32
in the afternoon. The blaze was in the
roof, and was caused by firecrackers.
An alarm was turned in from the
West side at 2:2S, boys with frecrackers
having set manure pile on fire in the
rear of barn owned by Edward LANCE
vim at 112 State street.
A "still'' alarm at As was caused by
the burning of pile of shavingS and
lumber between two new buildings on
Hudson avenue, near crest street. The
damage was nominal. .
A blaze in the rear of Joseph MATHS
saloon and grocery store, at SIS Rice
street, called out the department. at
Sis, damaging the building about $50.
Firecrrckers were the cause.
FirecrackerS thrown on the roof of the
New York restaurant at 442 Jackson
street caused all alarm at sis. No
damage.
A supposed incendiary fire called the
department to 81 Burr street at $40.
The building, owned by Peter Finnegan
and occupied by Henry n. PAIL as a
grocery store, was fired from the rear,
but who the guilty parties were could
not be learned. Loss on building and
conteuts, $500; fully insured.
A rocket explosion at LOG Dakota ave-
nue. at 10 D. IN. started a small blaze.
The department was on hand before
the rocket had done jogging, and had
seven streams of water on the suspected
building. No harm was done.

SAVED BY A MIRACLE.

A Serious Smash-Up in St. Paul.
but Excursionists Escape I'm
hurt.
Yesterday afternoon the sos passen-
ger train for White Bear lake over the
Duluth road met with a serious acct
dent near the Arcade street crossing.
The train was a double header"
heavily loaded, and pulled out
of the switch yards at rapid
rate of speed. In rounding
the curve near the Bohn Manufacturing
which was ahead, struck large block
of limestone that had been placed by
some mscreant alongside one of the
rails, and was thrown from the track.
The engine plunged from the track on
the outside of the curve, the locomotive
behind crashing into it and going off on
the opposite side. The long train fol-
lowing damned into the rear engine, The
baggage car partly teleScOping the
tender. The platforms of seven cars to-
wards the front of the train were
also badly shattered, but the air
brakes prevented any of the
coaches from being derailed. Both en-
gineS turned across the track, and the
force of the train crashing in rolled
them over on their sides. Of the sew
eral hundred people on board the
coaches all miraculouSly escaped serious
injury, but two of the engineers and
one of the tiremen were badly shaken
UP by the oVerturning of the locOmo-
tives. They were brought to the city at
once and attended by DR.. j. III. Murphy,
the railway surgeon, who had been
notified of the accident and was in
waiting when the train arrived
at the union depot. Charles Storrs,
engineer of the rear locomotive, APP
peared to be the most seriously hurt. He
was severely bruised about the chest,
and appeared to be in great pain. but it
was not believed that his injuries were
of serious nature. He was afterwards
removed to his residence at White Bear.
Michael Tasak, engineer on the switch
engine, living at 1913 East Third street,
was suffering from badly sprained
knee, but was otherwise unhurt. Dan
lei Collins, fireman on the switch en-
CINE, was caught between the fre-boX
and cab and quite badly bruised on his
left side. His left arm was also burned
by escaping steam. He was removed to
his home, Cos East Sixth street, where
he was afterwards attended by DR.. Muir
ply. In his opinion none of the injured
will suffer permanent or serious injury.
