Engineer Mari was unfortunate enough
to be OF the train which was blown from
the track during the Fargo tornado of last
Monday night. It was raining torrents and
blowing fierce gale during the night. The
rain beat on the car windows and Mr.. Mari
secured, towels from the porter to
keep the water from dripping in his
birth. He went to sleep and knew nothing
more till he found himself lying on top Of
minister in an opposite birth. Mr.. Mari
was stunned and received scar in the
head. When he recovered the minister of
the gospel asked him if he would kindly get
up. The train was heaved over on its side
to another track. Every one of the twelve
cars, including the tender of the engine and
even the trucks, were all up on their sides,
and the locomotive alone stood on the
track. The train was about mile west
from Fargo when it was thrown off. No.
body was killed outright, but several died
since from injuries received. An enter
prising photographer took views of the
wreck and Mr.. Mari has received two of
them. He says the damage to Fargo was
not as bad as reported, though few build
ings were blown down.

try, and the representative of the common
branch concurred without any objection,
although Hugh Ferguson, of the Seventeenth
ward. was within hearing distance. and A. C.
Robertson, of the Thirty-ffth ward. who
moved the resolution of course supported it.
Chief Bigelow said that he did not propose to
furnish the chambers on a scale of mag
nifcence, with white mahogany desks. plush
upholstered chairs and topaz inkstands: did
not know yet bit the desks in service now were
good enough. with little furniture polish ap-
piled. He would lay new linoleum on the
floors and make several improvements but had
not yet decided on their nature.
Five out of Mir. Gourley's eight appoint
ments are virtually settled. but three are on the
anxious seat, the East End and Southside
Judges and the messenger, for jax Jones re-
sembles the Chinese in one particular-he must
go. Mayor McCalin will provide for him, so
Ajax IS not getting pale over his prospects. 1

Move by the Allegheny Police Committee
TO Restore the City Wire System.
The Allegheny Police Committee met last
night and elected an electrician to take charge
of the wires of the patrol service. Ever
since the work has been given up by Chief
Jones, Of the fire department, who cared for all
the wires of that department, as well as those
of the patrol system, the wires have been in
bad shape and wholly unreliable, sometimes
working all right, but oftener not Lately.
however, they have become worse than ever,
and when an officer makes an arrest now he
takes his prisoner to the nearest telephone,
and calls for the patrol wagon through the
Mayors office, instead of calling from patrol
box. At the meeting last night Mayor Pear
Son called the attention of the committee to
the matter, and handed in number of appli-
cations from persons desrous of being appoint
ed to look after the wires.
The committee united on the name of II. E.
Dillon, an electrician of ten years experience,
who had a number of good letters of recon-
mendation. He will be considered police
officer, with the same pay, but will only be re-
CURED to look after the patrol telegraph wires.
The committee also approved the bills and
payrolls for the month.

o'clock in the afternoon. and quite number
OF persons passed through the building. Su-
perintendent Benjamin Waddington was in
charge of the building. The engineer Mr..
Fisher, took care of the temperature, ard the
public evidently enjoyed the opportunity to ad-
mire the interior. Chairman Ammon, of the City
Property Committee, thinks there will be no
doubt as to the passage of the library ordinance
by Select Council tomorrow night. Some of
those who have been opposed to Councilmanic
control of the library believe that il IS time
to do something Mr.. Arthur Kennedy said
last night that the Councils under which the
library was completed and accepted could
hardly afford to bequeath the wrangle over the
matter to the reorganized Councils. To-mor-
row evening will be the last meeting in Mayor
Pearson's regime, and of the 26 votes in COun-
ellis, careful counting of noses has shown the
IA votes necessary to pass the ordinance.

JOHN EHMAN HOME,

The Socialists of Cincinnati Place an Elec.

John Ehman, the well-known labor leader of
this city, returned yesterday from Cincinnati,
where he went to visit his relatives. He says
the Socialists of the Porkopolis have placed
ticket in the field, and have hopes of electing
some of their candidates at the next election.
He also states that they are not in sympathy
with Johan Most or Socialists of that stamp.
Mr.. Ehman also attended the Powderly meet
ing and from the demonstration the knights
are increasing in that city, Mr.. Powderly is in
favor of land tax, and takes no stock in the
single tax theory. The building trades of Gin
cinnati will make a stand for the eight-hour
day,
