Two Were Caught.
CUMBERLAND, Md, Aug. 28.-Shortly
after noon while workmen were engaged
in repairing the Cumberland street bridge,
which spans the Baltimore & Ohio Rail
road tracks at that point, the bridge began
to sway.
All the workmen ran for their lives,
but two, Tolbert Minnick, aged 20 years,
and Walter Miller aged "a. They were
unable to get off in time, and as it fell
with a crash the men went with it and
were buried in the debris.
When their companions recovered from
their fright and hurried to them, they
found that Minnick had been in
stantly killed and Miller seriously in
jured. The latter was with great diff
Guilty gotten out from under the wreck
The bridge was a wooden structure 1910
feet long, and was built in 1872. 1t had
been condemned, and was closed for some
time past.

OUR SOLDIERS At NIAN7IC'
A sung by John Moriarty.

Our thoughts are on Mantle,
AS we sit at home to night;
Our boys are learning arts of war
In case they have to fight.
We've Grants, Shermans and Sheridans,
To keep the flag unfurled.
The blood is here, the will is here,
To face the entire world.
The girls are sad and lonesome,
They don't know what to do;
Their thoughts are on Mantle,
And their soldier boys so true.
They told us when we'd write tonight,
TO tell them not remain,
Here's jane and Ann and Kate and Fan,
Down waiting for the train
They want the matter settled,
About their future life.
They think the Quaker Range the best
1t pleaSes man and wife.
The chamber set of course We'll get,
And all that goes with that
Extension table, lounges and chairs,
And things that suit our flat
So hurry up, come home and buy,
And follow hfe's pursuits;
You know we've got to judge the tree
According to its fruits.
Our store is full and all complete
To home Wen make you stick;
So here's health to MI the boys
Who are now in Mantle.

in the issuance of passes. Some have
received passes good only until April

HELENA, Mont, Feb. 5.-Lawrence
A. Brown, state senator from Beaver
Head county, has resigned. and, it is
understood, has cut loose from the Re-
publican party. Brown is a queer, even
picturesque, figure. He owns mine in
Beaver Head county, which he opens
up now and then, when he wants
money, and closes up again until the
cash is all gone The mine is said to be
worth half a million. Brown is native
of Georgia, and up to the time that
Cleveland wrote his silver letter he was
Democrat, having sat in the territorial
council as a representative of that party.
The Cleveland letter put Brown into the
Republican ranks. and that party re-
elected him to the state senate. Last
week, when the rival houses COM
promised and formed one organization,
the two parties had regular love feast.
A resolution was adopted in the senate
remitting some $4,000 of fines imposed
on Democrats who refused to take part
in the proceedings last session. The
senators affected did not vote, and the
matter was carried through by Repub-
Iicans and Democrats not inter-
ested. Brown was the only one
voting against renting the fines.
He left the senate in huff and never
returned. His Republican associates
tried to argue with him. but got only
short answers. They knew of his i'm
pending resignation, but could do moth
ing with him. as he wrote it out and
took the next train for home. His
resignation was accepted by the votes
of Democratic senators, the Republic
ans voting no. 1t leaves his county
with but one man in the legislature,
Witter having died last week, being
also from Beaver Head. The gov
ernor will call new election,
but it is doubtful if Brown
and Witter's successors can be chosen
in time to participate in this sessions
work, as only four weeks remain. 1t is
understood Brown has been shaky in
his allegiance to the Republican party
since the position of that side on the
silver question became known. His
resignation leaves but five Republicans
In the senate to ten Democrats. Posi-
bly, another Republican will go soon. as
Duer Will file his contest for John
Powers seat, from Chateau, at once.

The State Temperance Alliance
Closes Up Saloons.
DES MONIES, To-, Feb. 5.-The state
temperance alliance is closing up the
saloons in localities where the local au-
thorities have neglected or refused to
enforce the prohioitory law. President
Harvey, of the alliance, ,and eX-Attorney
General Baker have returned from Car
roll, where they procured iniunctions
against all the saloons there, seven In
number.
At the first trial the fact was devel-
oped that there were present some wit
nesses from Des MOines who had been
at Carroll as detectives procuring evil
dence. At night mob was organized
and headed by a saloonkeeper for the
purpose of getting rid of the important
evidence. The witnesses were arrested
and placed in jail, but soon were re-
leased. The mob continued to make
hostile demonstrations, but the wit
nesses were not intimidated. A dis
patch from Fort Dodge says that appli-
cations Tor injunctiOns against twenty
five saloonkeepers have been filed by
the temperance alliance. Detectives
have been at work gathering evidence
for weeks, and the alliance hopes to
close every saloon in the county.
