Superintendent Livingston Removed.
The state board of charities and cor

from the superintcndency of the insane
asylum at Nankton. Gov. Mellette
asked for his removal. The deposed
superintendent is charged with general
incompctcncy and auctocracy. 1t was
absolutely necessary, according to the
statements of those in authority. to
make this removal in order to prevent
further complications, and it is not inn
probable that other changes will be
made soon. DR.. Meade, the assistant
superintendent, is temporarily in charge
of the asylum, pending the appointment
of Livingstons successor, who it is
thought will be a Bookings man, or a
physician from the northern part of the
state.

train, which was just rounding curve.
The engineer, Charles Battenschlagc,
reversed his engine and jumped just in
time to escape. In the crash he was
struck in the back with flying timbers.
Mr.. Battcnschlage, as soon as the col
lision was over, sprang again to his
engine, and while scalded with escap-
ing steam applied the air brakes and
brought the train, which was already
moving rapidly down the steep grade to
a stop. His prompt action probably
saved the lives of half dozen of the
the many passengers with which the
train was crowded.
