COLUMBUS, Wis. Sept. 27.-One of the
most disastrous freight wrecks that has
ever happened on the La Crosse divi.
sion Of the ST. Paul line occurred about
one mile west of this station last night
resulting in the complete destruction
of eleven cars and the almost instant
death of William Spletstoeser and the
serious injuring of Albert Gray. both
brakemen. The train was running at
a high rate of speed when it parted
and both came together with terrific
force. Eleven cars were piled up in
one indiscriminate mass, Spletstoeser
being buried beneath the debris. Gray
was thrown about thirty feet, against a
fence, and sustained broken leg and
other injuries. Two wrecking trains
arrived on the scene in a short time
with force of 100 men under Supt.
Cheney, and eighteen hours of hard
labor was required to clear the track
for the resumption of traffic. Passen-
ger traffic was delayed for several
hours on account Of the wreck, and
trains to and from Milwaukee were
run over the Northern division.

There will be services in the Con-
gregational church next Sunday as
usual. A meeting of the church and
society is called for Monday evening IN
the church parlors.
The friends of water-Works and all
enterprising citizens will be discour-
aged at the action of the Board of Street
Commissioners in refusing to favor a
meeting to discuss the water-works
project. There should be no fear OF
having light thrown on this subject.
The course majority of the Board is
pursuing, looks as though certain men
here thought that they could not keep
up with the procession if matters of an
enterprlslng character were going for
ward, and therefore they prefer to
have things kept in the old rat where
they can control them, no matter how
much the city suffers in consequence.

Obituary.

Max Seibel, youngest son of Mr.. and
Mrs. H. P. Seibel, died Tuesday morn
ing, Sept. 90, 1891, at 2 O'Clock, at the
family home in the Second ward, of
consumption, aged 81 years. About
two years ago, while in the employ of
Marshall Field & Co., Chicago, his
health began to fail and he went to
Boise City, Idaho, in the hope that a
change to that climate might be of
benefit to him. He was there but a
short time when he was taken down
with a fever of typhoid character. His
mother went to his bedside and when
he had sufficiently recovered, she
brought him home. But the seeds Of
disease were already firmly planted in
his system and he gradually failed,
finding his only relief when the vital
spark left his frail body. His untimely
death casts pallor over his late home
and the family have the sincerest
sympathy in their hour of affection.
His funeral will be held Friday after
noon at O'Clock from St. Mark s Luth-
eran church.

Baseball.

A team of colored gentlemen calling
themselves the Gordens came out here
from Milwaukee last Sunday and en-
deavored to play game of ball with
the Schiller & Quentmeyers. They
were not very successful in their eff
forts, as the score, 50 to 0 in favor OF
the home team, will substantiate, and
it must be said that they were about
the poorest lot of ball players who
have ever attempted to exhibit their
abilities in our city. In fact, their play
ing was regular parody on baseball,
but it nevertheless afforded an endless
amount of fun to the large crowd pres
ent. Home runs, three-baggers and
two-baggers were very numerous on
the side of the S. & Q's, and the boys
hit the ball and ran the bases to their
hearts content. Oestreicher and Keel
were the battery Of the home team.
J. Smith and Diekoff, of the S. q e..
club, will be the center and left fielders,
respectively, in the picked nine which
is to play against the Jefferson Blues
at the Jefferson county fair, tomorrow.
An exciting contest is expected. Lynn
Mills, of Lake Mills, will captain and
catch for the picked team.

SKETCH OF MRS D. P. TYLER.

The following sketch of the late Mrs Tyler appears in the North Hillsdale (N. Y. correspondence to the Chatham Courier of the 7th inst: #..
 Mrs Della Pierce Tyler, who died on the 18th of December, 1890, aged 60 years, was the oldest member of the NJ. E. church in this place. For nearly 60 years she has witnessed for Jesus, and maintained an earnest love for the M. B. church, it's doctrines and services. Her home was the temporary abode of many Methodist minister, and the iti- nerant of other days will remember her welcome. She was modest and retiring to the last degree, yet always ready for service whenever needed. Her long re ligious experience gave her an abiding faith in Christ, and in her last sickness she expressed 8 desire to depart, and remarked several times that her work was done, and the way was all bright and clear. She was the mother of six children, one son and five daugh- ters, all of whom survive her, and were present at her funeral The funeral was held at home, and her pastor, Rev G. E. Kerr, improved the occasion by appropriate remarks from Psalms 37, 37, Mark the perfect man, behold the up. right, for the end of that man is peace. ' The remains were laid to rest in the little cemetery of North Hillsdale by the side of her husband, who proceeded her by eleven years to the better land and in sight of the home where she was born, converted and married. The children and friends have reason to fee that it was but a brief good bye til reunion in Heaven.

Buying a Hotel at Auction.

heard a story about how E. s. Stokes shrewdly bought Fenwick hall, his summer hotel at Saybrooke, Conn. at auction without any opposition. The property had been advertised to be sold at sheriff's sale, and MT. Stokes had gone up to look at it. He thought it was just what he wanted for sum mer place and concluded to buy it. Or the day of the sale he arrived there in the morning on his yacht. He found that tho only competitor he would have at the sale was Catholic priest, who wanted to buy the place for Catholic institution of some kind and was willing to pay $50, 1000 for it. Mir. Stokes go1 into the good graces of the priest, and invited him to step on board the yacht and take a little sail in the bay.
 There being three or four hours be fore the time of the sale the father con sented. Just as the yacht was casting off Mir. Stokes, having enseonced the priest in his private room on board stepped ashore. The yacht shot out three or four miles, when by some mysterious act of Providence-whicf MT. Stokes and the engineer could prob ably have explained-the machinery eo1 out of order. The yacht could not be operated until half an hour after the time set for the sale, at which mean while MT. Stokes had bought in Fen wick Hall for $16, 900. At least that is the way the story is told.-New York Press,

Kaiser Williams Son.

Au1SeC 1lIlA"TS s son.
 Here is recent Berlin story concern ing small "Eilet Fritz," the 5-year-old son of the emperor. The laws of Meuin and Teum have evidently not yet be- come apparent to this young man. It is related that he and the crown prince had been visiting lady at Potsdam, and playing with her children When they returned the emperor asked the latter if he had had a good time.
 "Oh, yes," he replied, land they had such beautiful little toy mouse that squeaked and ran around on the table. Oh, papa, wish had such little mousse"
 "And you," said the kaiser, turning to Eilet Fritz, ''do you wish you had such mouse?"
 "because I have that one here in my pocket. 7"
 Great was the horror and consterna- ton of the royal parent. The tutor was at once requested to take the youngster directly back to the lady, and the boy ordered to make an apology for having stolen the toy.
 Off he went, the beloved mouse still grasped tightly in his little hand, which was thrust deep in his pocket. Con- ducted into the presence of his hostess he said: ''I have been sent by my father to make you humble apology for hay ing stolen your mouse, '' but never a bit did he take it out of his pocket or offer to return it, and not until his tutor in sisted would he surrender the much coveted toy. To his small mind good words were quite enough, and there val nQ need to follow them with deeds.

The Word Puzzled Him.

There are some good Scotch anec. dotes which will bear telling. One is that of a careful mother who had a smattering of higher talk gained from association with 'the quality"
 'Ye maun gang to the minister and tell him to come baptize the bairn, but mind, John, that ye dinna say bairn- say infant"
 Her better half pondered the word, and when he had committed it to memory he had reached the minister's house. As soon as he saw the reverend parson he began his message.
