and spent the day chatting with his
many friends around the lobby of the
Merchants. Mr.. Nugent was for nearly

the fact that his county is Republican

. KILLED IN A TUNNEL.
Frank b. Netzer, of ST. Paul, Man
gled by a Chicago Grip Car.

Frank b. Netzer, of ST. Paul, Man
gled by a Chicago Grip Car.
A telegram from Chicago last evening
saws: A life was lost in cable car
accident in the Washington street
tunnel this afternoon, and it was not
the fault of the gripman that half
dozen other people were not crushed to
death. Many people had narrow escapes
from instant death, and had it not been
for the heroism of several male paSSen-
gers three or four women would have
been killed or mangled against
the Jagged sides of the tunnel.
The accident was caused by the grip
man plunging his train headlong into a
runaway train that was coming at full
speed down the opposite incline. Frank
B. NetZer, an express agent OF st. Paul,
was with his wife on the grip. and as
everybody who could jumped to escape
the impending danger, Mr. Netzer
was thrown under the wheels of the
train and mangled to death. Other
persons were more or less hurt and
shaken up and a half dozen women
tainted. This was the last OF four acct
dents that occurred on the YerkeS SyS-
tenn during the day, and the council is
to be appealed to to pass such restric-
tons as will insure safety on the line or
tie up the system until its running ar
rangements are perfected.
A GLOBE reporter called at the resi-
dence of Netzer, at 205 East Fourteenth
street, last night. but found no one at
home except an English lady who has
been over from the old country only a
week. 1t was learned that Mr.. NetZer
went to Chicago about week ago, and
biC Uifa and their little GIRL of six Or
seven yeaes had gone to Wabasha at
the same time and subsequently to Chi
cago. No word had been received at
the Nctzer home or by the neighbors Of
the accident to the unfortunate man.
Netzer has been an express messenger
on the Kansas City railway, running
from st. Paul to Kansas City. and had
arranged to move away from st. Paul
about the middle of September. to work
OH division further east. His family
consisted of wife and one child.

YOUR NEcKTIE's UP BEHIND

When you attend a party

The exercise is hearty.
Your brain with pleasure whirls:
But Oh the painful feeling
When suddenly YOU find
The naked truth revealing
Your necktie's up behind.
As down On change T0u linger
To watch the markets close,
Some fool will point his finger
At you beneath your nose
And shout out quite jocosely:
Excuse me sir, fad
On looking at you closely
Your necktie's up behind
On some night when you're calling
Upon your sweetheart fair.
Oh IS it not appalling.
As you your love declare.
When words come hard and harder,
Quite suddenly to find,
In midst Of loves sweet ardor,
Your uecktie's up behind
In this queer situation,
No matter how one tries,
There IS no cxpiatiOn,
The necktie's bound to rise.
It's useless 20 regret il,
BY fate II is designed,
And when you least expect Il

The Worlds Fair.

WASHINGTON, April 1.-THE senate
quadro- centennial committee met this
morning and ordered the World fair
bill reported with some amendments, one
of which is the Daniels proposition in
somewhat emasoulated form. The COM
mittee, at the suggestion OF Senator
Gray, modified the provisions with re-
spect to the president being satisfied of
the bona fide character of the Chicago
subscriptions by making it read she
shall be satisfied of the responsible char
acter of the subscriptions before inviting
foreign nations to participate.
The Daniels amendment was modified
SO as to provide that some time In the
spring-date not DarticulariZed-befor
the time for opening the exposition,
there shall be an International naval
display in the New York harbor and
Hampton roads, and a civic celebration
in Washington at the time of the dedica-
ton of statue proposed to Columbus.
There is no appropriation made in the
bill for these celebrations, this being left
for congress to provide some time in the
future. This was agreed TO in the hope
that it would facilitate the bill s passage.
but had them so modified as not TO inter-
fere with or detract from the opening at
Chicago.
A subcommittee, consisting of Sena-
tors Hiscock, Hawley and Daniel, was
appointed to make the bill conform to
the expressed wishes OF Senator FarWell.
Senator Hawley was selected as man
ager of the bill on the floor.
