Terrible Result of an Accident on q Rus

ST. PETEHsRURa, Nov. 27.-An acci-

ported as having occurred on the rail-
way between Orel and Griazowetz, in
northern Russia. Owing to the
breaking of tire train be-
came derailed at the bridge which
crosses the river Optoukha. The en-
gine, followed by the carriages,
plunged along, tearing up the tracks
and breaking through the para
pet of the bridge. Five carriages
in all fell from the bridge to
the ice-covered river, and break
ing through the ice were SUBJ
merged, with their passengers, in
the chilling waters beneath. Owing to
the fact that the accident occurred in
a desolate section of the county, where
the population is scarce, there is but
meager reports, except such as
we're given by those who escaped in
jury. From one of the lost carriages
only one person was rescued Up to
the present twenty-six corpses have
been recovered, and many more are
supposed to be under the debris. A
number of persons were injured.

Atlast nights meeting the Ramsey
county delegation came very near abro-
eating every action of its previous
meeting. Sheriff Bean was given a
hearing, and he emphatically stated
that it is impossible for him to board
prisoners for less than 1926 a week.
The delegation had decided to cut this
fee to $3.50, but last night they re-
sclnded that action and it was agreed to
allow the sheriff the present fee of So. 25.
The sheriff also stated that the bill plac-
ing the collection of personal taxes in
the hands of the county treasurer
would materially decrease his income.
NO definite action upon this bill was
taken.
George MItsch addressed the delega-
ton in reference TO the bill abolishing
the court house joint committee. He
opposed the measure and contended
that its passage would not result in any
saving to the county. The delegation,
however declined to revoke the bill,

The Pintsch System OF Lighting
Passenger Trains With Gas.

Passenger Trains With Gas.
The Pintsch system of lighting by
means of compressed gas is pronou need
by competent judges to be the best
known means of car illumination.
1t is safe under any and all circume
stances. 1t Is not affected by atmoS-
pheric changes. Burns more steadily
than any other light in use. Although
very brilliant. it is soft and agreeable
1t emitS no smoke, is odorleSs and per-
fectly clean.
1t is so effective and evenly dis
tributed that travellers in any part of
the ear can read easily and comfortably.
1t IS simple in operation, absolutely
reliable and of constant quality.
Although this system has been in use
on some of the leading lines in the
East and in Europe for some time, the
credit of first introducing it in the
Northwest belongs to The Northwest
ern Line"-C., st. P. NJ. & o. Ry.
The vestibuled trains on this line,
leaving Minneapolis at $50 p. H.. st.
Paul 1880 p. m, daily, for Chicago and
milwaukee,, are lighted throughout
with this gas.
In addition to the superior arrange
ment and comfort of the sleeping cars
on the vestibuled limited. this brilliant
light adds to the appearance of the car,
and passengers have expressed them
selves as delighted with this method of
lighting.
The Chicago, st. Paul, Minneapolis &
Omaha Hallway Company is now con-
structing plant in Minneapolis for the
manufacture. of Pintsch Gas in order to
supply the entire passenger equipment.
No line keeps its equipment more
completely up to the latest standard
than does The Northwestern Line"
and it has never failed to provide any
improvement likely to add to the COM
fort, safety or pleasure of through
travel,

though il must be borne in mind that
the depreciation of the currency in the
Argentine Republic is so great lust now
that the total of eS00,000 must be cut
down at least one half to put the com
parison with other countries Oh all
tours. Yet, even if this be done, the
result achieved is very remarkable, and
there are only 400 horses in training TO
run for all this money.
The HipDOdrome Argentine is the

About 6:30 o'clock last night fire
broke ont in a room on the third floor

damaging conflagration had it not been
for the prompt work of the fire depart

stove and spread to the attic of the
building. 1t was extinguished before
much damage was done by burning.
Smoke and water, however, filled the
building and effected serious loss to the
occupants of the store rooms on the
ground floor. G. f. Benedict, the fur
niture dealer, and Seng q Oertel, boots
and shoes. are athe principal losers.
Their losses will aggregate over $1,000,
and are fully covered by insurance.
The building, owned by J. l.. Fore

frightened by the smoke and taken out
