FROM SLEEP TO DEATH.
Fhe Singular and Fatal Accident
On the Kansas CITY Road.

The bodies of the three men killed in the
accident on the Kansas City road, near Elk
ton, MIMI, on Friday. were brought to this
city yesterday morning and taken to the un-
dertaking establishment of Mccarthy & DON
nelly. Wabasha street. According to the
statements made by General Superintendent
Shields, the accident was caused in a most
singular manner. The south-bound freight
train stopped at Elkton, as the supply of
water in the engine had run short Til cars
were nncoupled and the engine ran to the
next station, T1opa. where there is water
tank. The. conductor piloted his en-
gineer, who was new man, but
before going ahead sent his brakeman back
on the track to flag another freight train
which he knew was following him. The
brakeman obeyed his orders. and walked a
good distance until he saw a long Way off the
headlight of the train he was to stop. but re-
ceived no signal from the oncoming train.
Mortified to find that the train was rushing
along at high rate of speed, he hurled his
lantern at the cab as the engine
windows and warn the crew of their
danger. He unfortunately missed his
arm, and the lantern passed over the top of
the cab. The train dashed ahead and In
few minutes the brakeman heard a terrible
crash. The freight at a high rate of speed
had run into the heavily laden trucks of the
stationary train. The unfortunate men on
the engine were killed instantly and from
subsequent examination of the engine the
poor fellows must have been fast asleep. for
the throttle was wide open. the lever thrown
10 the last notch, and full head of steam on.
The names of the men are George Penniman
engineer, of 1877 East Winifred street:
Frank Perrin, fireman, and George Ralph.

f. C. Boucher consular agent for
France at st. Paul. will sail for Europe this
week on business venture which may
prove to be of great interest to Minnesota in
general and st. Paulin particular ST. Paul
men still remember the effort made by Mr..
Boucher few years ago to induce Mime
sofa farmers to raise sugar beets and improve
the culture of fax. His object was then to es-
tablish in st. Paul two important branches
of home industry. The scheme failed
at that time. owing to a prolonged illness of
It's promoter, but especially through the lack
of support and encouragement from the
citizens of st. Paul. AS usual, Minneapolis
has since taken up the same ideas, and with
the aid OF its more enterprising business
men, is about to carry out successfully the
plans abandoned by ST. Paul. Mr.. Boucher has
now founded a corporation styled"The Inter-
national Emporium of Imports and Exports
The object of the corporation as expressed in
its articles, is TO facilitate trade relations be-
tween the different countries of the two con-
tnents. The new company, with a capital
stock of S300,GU0 proposes to establish gen
eral headquarters for the reception of all
goods and merchandise for expectation; to
stand medium between the foreign mer
chant and manufacturer and the
American consumer, and vice versa
between the American merchant and
producer and the foreign consumer.
The company will have its own newspaper
printed in French and English, and will open
corresponding bureaus in Europe. At its
headquarters the company will have per-
manent exhibition of all foreign and domestic
products and articles of trade. Mr.. Boucher
has received the assurance of the hearty CO.
operation of the most prominent foreign
manufacturers, and his enterprise may re-
suit i'll the establishment of several large
manufacturing plants in Minnesota.
While in Europe Mr.. Boucher will make
his headquarters in Paris, Rue Vivienne,
and will at once correspond with the princi-
pal chambers of commerce in France and
England He will be glad to answer all in
quiries and suggestions that may be sent him
from this side of the ocean.
In Mr.. Bouchers absence j. B. Robitaille,
secretary of the new corporation. will have

A POsT-ELECTION FAKE,
To the Effect That Candidates
Mum and Bell Would Contest.

The fact that man-evidently with police
power-has been guarding the ballot boxes
used i'll the late election, aud now piled in
the city hall. has been already mentioned.
bat it excited no particular comment for the
very natural reason that every one supposed
he was stationed there by the county officers
But 1t now appears that this man is a private
detective. sent out by certain candidates on
the late county Republican ticket to see that
no one meddle6 with the ballots. Mysterious
whispers have also been going the rounds to
the effect that these aforesaid candidates on
the county Republican ticket as aforesaid
are talking up a contest; indeed, such an
outcome was limited by foreign
paper popularity believed to have been
subsidized by these same candidates. 1t
appears that Messrs. Mum and Bell,
candidates respectively for attorney and reg
lister OF deeds, cannot figure out how Ed
Bean was elected sheriff by over 1000. and
at the same time they were defeated by ma
jorities ranging from 400 to 2,5U0, and
they have come to the conclusion they were
counted out. Whether they believe Capt.
Snider was counted out 10 the tune of $500
and GOV. Merriam to the tune of 200, does
notappear. However. the story goes that
they talk of recount, and for that purpose
are having the boxes kept under surveillance.
While no one will object to a recount, it is
not believed for an instant that such q con-
test will be made. and the story was prob
ably trumped up by the foreign sheet for its
own amusement. There was nothing very
strange in the way Capt. Bean ran ahead,
and all politicians and both committees
seemed to have thoroughly understood it.

Mutual Savings Banks.

The orlginators of the first savings
banks in New England and New York
were public-spirited men, who enjoyed
the absolute confidence Of the commu-
mites in which they lived. they re-
ceived no salary or other compensation
for their services. The honor of being
selected trustee of one of these insti-
buttons, and the satisfaction OF know
ing that they were benefting many of
their fellows, was considered ample
compensation. These men were looked
upon as philanthropists of the purest
type, and received the blessings of thou
sands. The Western states, appreciat-
ing the benefits of Strictly Mutual Saw
ings Banks, are following the example
of the East, and you find these banks in
most large cities of the country. Min
neapolis, thanks to the hearty co-opera-
ton of its citizens, has built up in the
Farmers and Mechanics a Savings
Bank of which they can justly be proud.
We nope the people of st. Paul will
show that they do not lag behind other
cities, and will pull together to make
the State Savings Bank, Germania Life
building, equal to the best institutions
of its kind in the county.

fair audience few weeks ago when the adj

plished by meaus of stationary bicycles. The

GARVIN TO Be WARDEN
The New Warden for the
Saltwater Penitentiapy
Is Named.
A Glittering Fake in the
Shape of a County Elec-
ton Contest.
The French Consul at st. Paul
Projects a Promising
Scheme.
How the Fatal and Singular
Accident Occurred on
the K.-C.

Albert Garvin is the man who will
succeed j. j. Randall as warden of the
states prison at Saltwater.
Two days ago the GLOBE made the an
nouncement that Warden Randall
would be displaced. Though discred-
tied by several papers, the statement
was entirely correct. For some time
past Gov. Merriam has made up his
mind 10 the change. Mr.. Randall is
held to be an estimable man and all
that, but his is not the disposition for a
prison warden. He is too Soft-hearted,
and is not enough of diSciplinarlan
for the place he holds. All of the re-
cent charges against the prison man
agement showed only warm-heartedness
on the part of Randall, but warm
heartednesS that should not mark a
warden. Gov. Merriam would have re-
moved him some months ago but for the
election, and now that that has been
safely Weathered the change will be
made.
Albert Garyin, who will succeed Ran
dali, is DOW superintendent of the re-
formatory at st. Cloud. Whatever mo-
tive may be behind the appointment it
is unQuestionably good one. Mr.. Gar
vim came here from the Illinois prison
at Joliet, where he served for seven
teen years. He entered the service as a.
guard and worked his way steadily up
ward until he became warden. When
Fifer was elected governor of that state,
that position was one of his political
pledges and Garvin had TO go to make
way for politician. He is conceded to
be thoroughly good man, well versed
in prison life, perfect disciplinarian
and in every way entirely qualified. In
appearance he is very much like Chief
John Clark. of the st. Paul police, but
with a heavier mustache. When Gov.
Merriam returns from the East the
change will probably be at once an
nOunced.
