THE ESCAPE MIRACULOUS.
Story Of the Northern Pacific Ac.
cident at Rosebud.

Story OF the Northern Pacific Ac-
cident at Rosebud.
Special to the Globe.
HELENA, Mont, June 27.-L. FL.
Hershfield and family, and E. Bening-
hoven, who arrived in Helena to-day,
were among the passengers on the
Northern Pacific train wrecked near
Rosebud, Mont, yesterday. Mr. Hersh-
field, in describing the occurrence, said
it had been raining hard all the after
noon and night of the 25th and 26th.
The storm was terrific, and the rain
fell in sheets, making all streams rag
ing torrents. The railroad track skirts
along the bank for some distance from
Rosebud west. About mile and a
half west of Rosebud station, the road
passes through a deep cut,
which opens directly at the edge
of the river. 1t proved to
be dangerous place, for the
last sleeper connected with the train
went down into the seething flood. The
bell rope was broken, aud the train
was given severe jar as the coupling
of the falling car broke. The train was
stopped, and IN a few moments all
hands wereibusy assisting the passen-
gers to make their escape from the car,
which was fast disappearing in the
river. The windows were broken, and
the sixteen occupants of the car were
taken out. They lost all their clothing
and personal effects except what they
had on. The last two or three of the
rescued had to swim ashore. In less
than an hour and half the car was
almost covered with water, and was
slowly sinking from view. Mr.. Hersh-
field regards the escape of the passen-
gers as most MIRACULOUS and that the
other cars did not go down as most
fortunate. The accident was caused by
high water In the Yellowstone, which
undermined the track,

day, through Beckwith & Lazarus and

IDEAL, YET TRUE.
A Noble Product of the ScuIptOr's
Art and Patience.

BERLIN, June 27.-Among the sculpt-
ures which attract particular attention
at the Berlin International Art exhibit
ton is colossal bronze group, Amer
lea Awakening Her Sons to Fight for
Liberty" Columbia, seated in the CEN
ter, places her hands upon the heads
of farmer and hunter.
The latter, already alert, grasps
his rife and seems to scan the horizon
for the approaching foe; the husband
man seems to be awakening. The
group is full of life and action. Seen
by itself it appears colossal, and yet it
is only part of the great Washington
monument which will be erected next
year in FairmOunt park, Philadelphia.
Ten years ago the Pennsylvania branch
of the Order of Cincinnatus gave Prof.
Siemering, of Berlin. an order for this
work. Ever since the master has been
at the task and now the work is nearing
its completion.
The large size model of the monu-
ment may be seen at Prof. Siemerlng's
studio. Thirteen steps of Swedish
granite, representing the thirteen orig
inal states, lead to the base of the monu-
ment At the top of the steps the fig
ures of elk, buffalo, wild horses and
other animals indigenous to America,
are placed in a reclining position.
Fountains representing the four princi-
pal American rivers spring from the
four corners of the base to four
mighty granite basins. Figures
of Indians and hunters surmount
these fountains. From this base
rises pedestal some thirty feet high.

in cooked hat and army cloak, sits in
the saddle with firm and commanding
air, his eyes glancing straight ahead as
into glorious future. The whole
presents very fine effect.
Prof. Siemering will receive S125, 900
for his part of the work. The castings
are mostly completed, some parts, as
also the statue of Washington himself,
having already been shipped to Amer
lea, and Prof. Siemering is now CON-
pleting the few models yet necessary
for casting. Prof. Siemering is one of
the best known sculptorS in Germany.
Modest and quiet in his demeanor, he
does not care to say much about his
work, but the ten years of tireless en-
ergy and skill which he has put into it
are well rewarded by the satisfaction
he feels as his task nears completion.

SUED BY HIS SERVANT.
A Damage Suit in Which $4,000
is Demanded.

FARGO, n. D., June 27.-What prom
ises to be very sensational damage
suit has just been commenced in this
city against James Eggert, the son of
wealthy farmer at Davenport, about
thirty miles southwest of this city.
The case Is brought by Attorney
nj. A. Hildreth ON behalf Of
Bertha Waugrang, German girl
of nineteen, who worked for several
months in the home OF the defendants
father at Davenport. Two complaints
are made. The first alleges that de-
fendant on or about Oct. 16, 1890, struck
the plaintiff, rendering her unable to do
any work, and that on or about Oct. IL,
1890, the defendant violently assaulted
the plaintiff without her consent, where
by she became and still is sick
and unable to perform any work,
and was thereby permanently in
Jured for her natural life, and she
claims damages in the sum of $4,000.
In the second complaint she alleges that
the defendant shot her in the leg ON or
about Nov. s. 1890, at Davenport, by the
carelesss and negligent handling of
gun: that she is made permanently
crippled for life and asks damages in
the sum of $4,000. The wound Is still
a running, ugly sore, and it is by no
means certain that she will not lose her
leg, or at least her foot. Friends of the
girl at Fergus Falls are pushing the case
and they claim to have unlimited means
to do it with.

government should be founded upon
their love for it as the fountain head of
their national life; their faith iE it as
the power which preserves them a free
people: their reverence for 1T as the per-
feet work of the highest patriotism:
their confidence in its justice and equal
ity, and their pride in its ownership
furnish at all times sufficient
motives for lively interest
In public affairs, and should supply
abundant incentive to popular watch

methods. In the light of these consld-
erations no thoughtful American can
shut his eyes to the truth that when
our people regard the government as
the source of Individual benefit and
favoritism, and when their interest in it
is measured by the extent to which they
hope to realize such benefit and favorit<
ism, our popular government is in
dangerous hands and its entire prever-
sion is alarmingly imminent. The perilS
are not alone chargeable to legislation
which is confessedly special and private.
Measures of general character, and
apparently proposed for the public
good, frequently originated in selfish
calculations, or so completely subserve
III their details selfish plans, that they
also tend toward the
Fatal Point of SOrdidness
among the people and unjust paternal-
ism in the government. No matter
what plausible protests may be adj
vanced for such legislation, if it has in
it these elements, it ought to be con-
demned. Neither the cry of pro-
lection to American interests, nor
pretended solicitude for the public
good, ought to succeed in concealing
schemes to favor the few at the expense
of the many: nor should the Importance
to the country of legislative action upon
any subject divert us from inquiry con-
cerning the selfish motives and pur-
poses which may be hidden behind the
proposal of such legislation. 1t is quite
time that our business men and all Am
erlcan citizens who love their country
beStir themselves for battle against
the evil tendencies of private and
special legislation, whatever guiSe it
may assume. AT this time no more i'm
portant truth can be presented to our
people than that they should support
their government in love and patriot
ism, and remain unselfshly content
with the blessings and advantages which
our free institutions were established
to bestow, with justice and equality.

CHICAGO, June 27.-ln the criminal

The charge of attempt to commit the

was brought into the court room and
exhibited to the judge. 1t consisted of
a box containing a brass tube into
which conical steel bullet was fitted,
and beneath it was string of coiled
tow, saturated with dark colored
liquid. There was also long, slender
glass phial nearly filled with a colorless
liquid. TO show its dangerous char
acter, single drop of it was let fall
upon sheet of paper, which spontane-
ously ignited and instantly consumed.
The loosened cork in the neck of the
bottle also burst into flames and there
was great scurrying around until it was
extinguished by being dipped in water.
Gibson himself was an interested spec
tator and watched the proceedings very
closely.
