Crushed Between Freight Cars.


DIED-At Buffalo Gap, South Dakota; Sunday,
August II, 1890 Frederick K. Pool, aged % years,
months, II days.
Last Monday morning u. Pool re.
ceived q telegram from Shadron, Neb.,
announcing that his son, Frederick e.
Pool had been killed in q railroad ac-
cident Sunday, August 17th, at Buffalo
Gap, South Dakota, and asking how
the body should be disposed OF. Mr..
Pool Immediately telegraphed to have
the body shipped to Brookings. Moth
ing further could be learned regarding
the accident until Wednesday night
when the corpse arrived in care OF Mr..
Campbell, a young gentleman who had
been boon companion of the unfor-
tunate man for some years past.
From Mr.. Campbell itIwas learned that
Fred. was in the act OF coupling two
freight cars, loaded with heavy bridge
timbers. when ne was killed. The cars
had not been properly loaded and the
timbers projected over the ends OF the
fiat cars fully six inches beyond the
bumpers. When Fred. stepped in TO
make the coupling it is presumed he
did not notice the position OF the tim.
bers and when the cars came together
the back part of his head was caught
between the projecting timbers and
crushed into shapeless mass, causing
instant death. The conductor saw
the accident AID drew the body from
between the cars. Friends Cf the
young man took charge of the remains
and at once notified the railroad Off
cials who telegraphed Mr.. q. Pool SIS
above stated.
The railroad company manifested
criminal negligence in receiving and
shipping the cars in such q condition
and should be condemned for such an
act besides being compelled to pay
heavy damages. Nothing can, how
ever repay the loss to the pare nts,
brothers and sister.
Fred, as he was famlliarly called,
was for some time resident OF Brook
ings. Five years ago he lett here and
went west. He had been acting as
brakeman on the Elkhorn Valley rail.
road for some time and was soon to
have been promoted to the position of
conductor. His parents expected him
home this month on visit, and his

preparations to return to Shadron,
Neb., with him, where they were going
to housekeeping.
Many of our readers will remember
the unfortunate young man. His was
of an amiable disposition exemplary
in every respect and highly respected
by all who knew him. The writer was
intimately acquainted with Fred, and
never formed the acquaintance OF q
young man possessing more excellent
qualities. The deeply grieved family
and relatives have the sympathy OF
their many friends, who mourn With
them at this time.
The funeral services were held at the
residence OF q. Pool yesterday after
noon at 2 o'clock, and large con-
course or relatives and friends followed
the remains to Greenwood cemetery
where they were inferred with befitting
ceremony.

The general verdict is that it was
the best program ever presented by a
graduating class from the Agricultural
college. Each number was so well
taken that 1t is not our desire to par
ticuiarize although there might have
been one or two parts OF the program
that in our estimation were deserving
OF special mention.

ACCIDENT AND INCIDENT.
John Crowc and His Son Killed By
 the Cars at New Haven.

John Crowc and His Son Killed By the Cars at New Haven,
 John Grove and his 10 year old son, while driving down Webster street. In New Haven, at $ o'clock last night, were struck by a ttain on the New Haven X Northampton road. The engine struck them squarely and demolished wagon, horse, man and boy in an instant. Grove was instantly killed and hlS body | was thrown some distance across the track. The boy also met an instant death. His head was completely crushed l to an unrecogniZable mass and his body was badly mangied. The horse shared the same fate. Its head was completely severed from its body. The wagon was smashed to splinterS. and its small load of produce was scattered in every direc- ton about the crossing. Eye-witnesses of the affair assert that Grove seemed wholly unconscious of the approach of the train until the moment he was struck by the engine. No whistle was blown and other signal was given by the engineer. Coroner Mix has not tin- ished his investigation into the matter, but he cannot see, as he stated last night, how the railroad company can be seriously blamed for the accident. The law prohil ting whiStling within the city limits takes away one of the safeguards in cases of this kind.
 Joseph F. Brennan, New Haven contractor, met with a peculiar accident yesterday which resulted in a compound fracture of his right leg. Brennan was directing the removal of a large paving stone near the corner of State and Elm streets. As the workmen had almost succeeded in getting the heavy stone across the horse car tracks. d car came along and although the driver was sig nailed to stop the car he failed to do so, but deliberately drove onto the stone. Brennan was not quick enough in get ting out of the way and the stone caught his leg. fracturing it as above stated.

THE "DlsCLosURE" LAW.

It's Constitutionality VIII Be Passed
 Upon by the Supreme Court.
 The habeas corpus case, used to test the disclosure law of John M. Clayton, consigned to jail for contempt of court, by Judge McConville of Hartford, for refusing to disclose where he got his liquor, came up yesterday before Judge Prentice of the superior court The object is merely to get the case before the supreme court where its constitu- tionality can be passed upon. Sheriff spaulding made a return of the writ to which demurrer was filed by Attorney Austin Brainard, counsel for Clayton. The demurrer objected on the grounds that the constitutional right of trial by jury had been invaded; second, that it violated the provisions insuring that no man should be tried and convicted with out due process of law, and third, that the legislature had no right to enact a law that mixed these constitutional rights. Judge Prentice overruled the demurrer and Clayton, through his at torney, appealed to the supreme court. The prisoner was remanded to jail to await trial.

CLINTON's BOD1 EAHUMED.

An Autopsy Made at an Opened
 Grave in West Haven.
 On July the body of Charles Clinton, q well known West Haven character, was found in the waters off Savin Rock. Medical Examiner Barnett of West Ha, ven did not consider the case justified a coroner's investigation and the body was buried in the West Haven cemetery. Ever since, however, Clinton's brother and few of his friends have declared that he was murdered. They heard that the dead man had about S200 in his pos. session the day before his body was found and none of this was found about him. Other facts seemed to strengthen this idea. such as scratches about the face and throat. One of them thought he had been shot in the back with bird shot. Yesterday the body was exhumed and an autopsy conducted at the open grave. Not the slightest ev. idence of foul play was found.

I. Sounded Like 1randma Stowe.

One might hunt a good while. remarks the Congregationalist, for spicier ref erence to an artists thought and style than may be found in the utterance of little grandson of Harriet Beecher Stowe, made the other day when he was discovered swinging on gate, some- what to its damage, near his fathers house. The owner asked him If he wished to injure his neighbours gate! "I don't care for my neighbours gate," said he. Then. as the words suggested some others. he added: "Nor his OK, nor his ass, nor his man-servant. nor his maid-servant, nor any thing that Is my neighbor's." Who said those words?" asked the neighbor. "I dunno" sn- swered the young hopeful; "but it sounds like Grandma Stowe"

IIort in the Mhite NTonntains.

Ewald Weiss, a we'll known violinist of New Haven, is supposed to have lost his life in the White Mountains. He had been passing the summer at Mount Washington. Last Sunday Weiss signi- fled his intention of making a trip on foot from Mount Washington to Mount Adams. Weiss friends endeavored to persuade him not to attempt the trip, as ing it a very difficult task as to folio follow % the trail or "blaze" across the mountains.
 Nothing daunted, Weiss started out alone. Before he left he told his friends that he would return that same night.
 Since that time nothing has been heard or seen of him and it is thought that he must have lost his way and fallen into a Tavine, or some chasm among the rocks.

North Atlantic cxclones.

II. Habenicht has written an article on the causes of the cyclones of the North Atlantic. The author poipts out that, if the globe were covered with water, the general circulation of the air would be very regular, without local def pressions and steep barometric gra7 diepts, and he refers to the contrast of the systems prevailing, (. Q. between the South Pacific and the North Atlantic. He finds the explanation primarily in the obstruction offered to the regular courses of the winds by the great conti- nents to the east and west of the At lantic; and. secondly, in tho constant barometrical maxima over the con tinent in winter and in the neighbor-. hood of the Arctic regions.
