DIED OF APOPLENY.
The Sudden Demise of Judge e. T
Noyes.

CINCINNATI, O., Sept. 4-Hon. E. T.
Noyes, judge of the superior court of Gin
cinnati, fell dead shortly after II o'clock
today at the court house. He had been
on the bench but was too unwell to pro-
coed further, and was on his way
to a street car for home when
he suddenly fell backward and died in
stantly. The cause is supposed to have
been apoplexy.
Gen. Noyes was a native Of Massachn-
sets and graduate Of Dartmouth college.
When a young man he located at Cincin-
natl, where he studied law and afterwards
practiced When the war broke out in
1861, Noyes promptly enlisted and was
commissioned major of the 29th Ohio. He
was gallant soldier, and rapidly advanced
to brigadier generalship. At one Of the
battles around Atlanta he lost leg, and
was unable to resume duty in the field.
Secretary Stanton assigned him to the
command of Camp Dennison. At the close
of the war General Noyes was elected judge
of the probate court and in 1871 governor
of Ohio. In 1877 he was appointed minis
ter to France, where he won great popu
larity. A year ago he was elected judge
OF the superior court of Cincinnati by an
immense majority.
He was noted as stump orator of con-
siderable power While an active repub-
lican he was not bitter partisan and was
socially popular.

E. COOLIDGE & GOA FILED.
The Prominent Waupaca Bank Obliged to
Close Its Doors.

WAUPACA, Wis, Sept S.-The Wau-
paca bank of E. Coolidge & Co. made an
assignment this morning to Frank Whip
pei. The news of the failure quickly
spread around the city and caused great
excitement, and crowd soon assembled
in front of the bank building. Everybody
was anxious to learn the condition of the
banks affairs, but all to be learned was
the announcement of the assignment. on a
card on the door of the bank, which con-
Guided the words: "A statement of assets
and liabilities will be given to the public
as soon as possible.
The Waupaca bank was prosperous
institution, so far as the public knew. 1t
had paid up capital of $1,000. Even
Coolidge, who is at the head Of the con-
Germ, has lived in Waupaca for thirty-one
years, and has at all times had the con-
fdence of the public. He has three times
held the office of county treasurer, and
represented the first district of Wanpaca
county IN the last legislature He is q
republican and holds the office of post
office by grace of the present administra-
ton. F. Coolidge was cashier of the
bank
There are no whispers of irregularities,
and the assignment is undoubtedly due to
falling off of business coupled with the
fact that two national banks have recently
been started in the city. While no
figures are given out, depositors are as

A SERIOUS RAILROAD ACCIDENT.
A Number of Men Killed and Thirty Five
Injured

CANYON CITY, Colo, Sept. ga ter
rible accident occurred on the Denver &
Rio Grande railroad early this morning,
near Adobe. Train 81 was running in
two sections The first section had two
day coaches loaded with laborers and was
derailed four miles below Florence. The
second section dashed into it with terrific
force, completely smashing two coaches.
The trainmen escaped unhurt and the
citizens of Florence soon came to their aid
in the work of rescue. The coach in which
the men were sleeping was shattered to
pieces and twelve freight cars ahead of it
were demolished. Of the forty-seven men
known to have been in the car five were
killed and thirty-seven were wounded
Of the wounded, two will die and it is
feared that eight or ten more are fatally
hurt. All the injured have been removed
to the company's hospital at Salida,
where they are receiving every attention.
The dead are: II. L. Winters,
Johnathan Falks, A. N. Meyer, Jas.
Donovan and C. B. Williams. A large
proportion of the unfortunate victims were
Italians who were unable to speak Eng
fish. The Italian consul is on his way
from Denver. Who is responsible for the
wreck is not yet determined. The prop
erty damage amounts to $4,000

He Visits the Catholic Convent at the Vii
lage of Loretto.

ericsson SPRINGS Pa, Sept. S.-The
president started to work early this morn
ing and sent a budget to Washington in
the first mail. The no nination of Charles
Scoville, of Indiana, was the first appoint
ment made by the president since his ar
rival here. He also issued an executive
ton of the - naval appropriation ion
bill providing for the appointment of a
commission to select a suisable site for a
dry dock on the Pacific coast north of the
northern boundary of California. The
presidents system was somewhat run down
when he reached here, but he is feeling
much better now. Hi. appetite is good
and his spirits bright. The langnid feel
, ing which oppressed him In Washington
has almost entirely disappeared.
The president and party atterward took
a long drive, visiting the villages of
Loretto and Galiitsin. At Loretto is To-
Gated the famous Catholic con-
vent which was established
nearly one hundred years ago. The
president inspected the whoie cnurc,'

gave brief history of the place. The
president intends to pay another visit to
the place to look over the convent. The
party returned to Cresson in the after
noon, having enjoyed their ride greatly.

S. j. Dickson Puts His Life in Jeo pardy at
Niagara Falls


NIAGARA FALLS, Ont, Sept. 6.-S. J.
Dickson walked across the Niagara gorge
on rope this afternoon in 1911 minutes :.
On his way across he stuck one leg out at
quarter and three quarters distance. He
lay down on his back in the centre of the
cable
After resting few minutes on the
American side Dixon returned to the wire
with hoop on Lis ankles and walked out
to where the stars and stripes foated in
the breeze $50 feet from the cliff and
went through several maneuvers wind
ing the flag about his shoulders.
Then he went to the Canadian
side stopping and performing the same
feats with the union jack as he had with
the American flag. Dickson is of Irish
decent and was born in New York, but for
several years has resided in Toronto He
had no motive in making the peril
Gus trip other than that when
crossing the suspension bridge
a short time ago he noticed a cable and re-
marked that he could walk across it. The
result was todays performance. He did
considerable rope walking in his youth,
and has practiced up in Toronto for sever.

The Wonderful Congo River.
Scribner.

For our knowledge of the dimensions
and navigable lengths of the Congo, the
largest, and, next to the Nile, the longest
African river, the world is indebted
almost entirely to Mr.. Stanley, its discov-
erer, and the great Free. State within its
basin. According to Mr. Stanley, the
Congo is more than 5000 miles long; and
is size and volume the second river of the
world, the first being presumably the Anna
zon. Like the Nile, the Congo has one
stretch of uninterrupted navigation 900
miles long, between Stanley Pool and
Stanley Falls. Unfortunately for COM
merce, however, this magnificent stretch
of water is separated from the sea by a
series of insurmountable cataracts that
compel portage of 235 miles, or two
portages Of s. and so miles and many
transfers. The largest of all American
rivers, and probably the most valuable
from commercial point of view, more
promptly and more empathically than any
of the others forbids the upward progress
of the steamer

the baggage, and nursed his revenge
until Melbers return. 1t was the next
day, however, before that took place, and
the father was more angry than before. 1t
looked perilous for Melber, and blookshed
seemed inevitable. The police quelled the
disturbance and pacifed Mr.. Downey into
a compromise. Melber invested in mar
