Another Wreck.

About o'clock Wednesday morning
fire alarm aroused the denizins OF
L'Anse from their peaceful slumbers.
Upon investigation it was found that
five empty freight cars and caboose
had been wrecked at the D., s. S. Il A..
water tank near the depot Cor where
the depot ought to be) and the caboose
was on fire.
About midnight switch engine was
engaged in making up train OF
"empties' at the Summit, eight miles
east of here. The caboose and five
empty box cars had been left standing
on the main track while some other cars
were being pulled out, but in backing
down with these other empties the
standing train was struck with more
force than was intended which loosed
the brakes and the train started down
grade. There being no brakeman on it
Of course it kept going with increasing
velocity down the heavy grade to
L'Anse--a drop Of LOO feet in eight
miles.
On reaching the curve at the foot OF
the hill, where the wreck occurred last
summer, the train jumped the track
and plowed through where the depot
once was (but is not and not finding
anything there worth devouring il kept
along the side OF the truck until the
water tank was reached. The caboose
shot through the tank like cannon ball
and stopped couple Of rods the other
side. The other cars piled up into an
unacceptable mass Of kindling wood.
Scarcely trace Of the tank was left.
The caboose Immediately took fire and
burned up before sufficient force
could be got out to quench the flames.
Fortunately no one was hurt, and the
damage to the railroad company Is lin.
tied to the wreck of five cars and water
tank. .,

The recent marriages, 80 saith Dame

for six grown people, that is Of course
the potato part of the dinner, and they
were no mean potato eaters, either.
We were not present at the dinner nor
did We see the murphy, but will vonch

were harmonious. James AlcMahon
represented Baraga tow nship in the
absence OF Supervisor Higgins. Ex-
penditures from the poor fund have
been materially increased the past year
principally on account OF 40 many
laborers being discharged from the
Iron Range g. Huron Bay r. r. with.

away, had to be cared for by thecounty.
On account OF the filthy quarters and
food afforded them along the road
hundreds of them we're taken down
with typoid fever and other diseases,
and being destitute they were sent
to the hospitals of this and Marquette
counties and the expenses charged up
to these counties respectively. This Is
an outrage that should be officially in
vestigated and the responsibility fixed
on the culpable parties.
