honor to the occasion.

both parents and pupils, were max
ing their way to the school.
The house was called to order, and
after singing and Bible reading, the
mercies of Gcd we're invoked - - -.
w. t. Breeding made he into
ductory remarks, stating that the
cause of the celebration being Oct.
q instead Of Oct. 12, was due to the
fact that Pope Gregor had changed
dates nine days later, and therefore
what was formerly Oct. II, is now
Oct 21st; this change having been
made since the discovery of Amer
lea. and almost all civilized nations
have accepted the change
An essay was well read by Master
Rosie Brown. Subject: Life and
Disposition Of Columbus"
Duet by Misses Julia Finley and
Augusta Warrick, was very attrac-
tive.

WRECK ON THE BIG FOUR.
Read End Collision of the Limited and
Fast Freight

CLEvEs, O., May 15.-In the midst of a
terrific storm OF wind and rain two Big
Four trains crashed into each other
near here this morning with awful eff
feet, the full horrors of which are not
yet known.
This morning the summer schedule
went into effect, and orders had been
issued accordingly. Freight No. 43, a
through train north bound, had orders
to stop at North Bend to allow express
No. 50, a cannon ball special, to pass
Under the old schedule the trains
passed at another point some
miles further on. Instead of
stopping, the freight engineer
pulled ahead and approached Cloves
running about twenty miles an hour.
Why he did not stop at North Bend
will never be known, as he is dead, but
1t IS thought that in his anxiety over
the storm, which might have washed
out bridges, he forgot the new schedule
and hurried on. AS the train ap-
preached Cleves, Charley Smith, the
telegraph operator, knowing that it
should have sidetracked at North Bend,
and that the express, a few minutes
overdue, was then but a short distance
away, running fOrtv-fve miles an hour
to make up lost time, rushed to the sig
nal wires and dashed out the danger
signal Either it was not seen in the
binding rain or the engineer could not
control his engine, for it sped on with
out lessenlng speed.
Not person on either train escaped
uninjured- With the arrival Of the
special train the work of getting out the
dead began. Up to clock five dead
bodies had been recovered. four of
them shockingly mangled and mashed
out Of all human shape.
Owing to the distance from the city
and the prostratioa Of the telegraph and
telephone wires by the storm, details of
the accident have been very slow in
coming in and no complete list Of the
wounded can be given. The property
loss is very heavy and will reach $780,
600. Both engines are complete wrecks
and the coaches of the express train are
ruined. It is claimed that much vaIua-
BILE mail and express matter is lost. A
dozen freight cars loaded with costly
goods are total loss.

WITNESSES WERE HIRED.
Sensational Testimony in the Russell Muir
der Case.

Sensational Testimony in the Russell Muir
| der Case.
EAU CLAIRE, Wis, May 13.-If bomb
had been dropped into the courtroom
where the trial Of Mrs Russell for the
murder Of Bertha Erickson is in
progress, it would hardly have caused q
greater sensation than did the story told
! by witness for the defense. Alexan-
der +. Noble, Pinkerton detective
from st. Paul, took the stand, and swore
that conspiracy existed to send Mrs.
Russell to the penitentiary, be she
guilty or innocent, and that
money had been spent freely
in 5ribing witnesses and building I'D
case against the defendant that would
land her behind the bars at Waupun.
The story told by Noble is the capstone
sensation Of case that has been full of
sensations from the day Of the mysteri-
Gus death of the young wife Of Peter
Erickson.
Detective Noble was a good witness,
and told his story in straightforward
manner. After giving his name, place
OF residence and business, he stated
that be was employed to work for
defense, and came here March
II to find what false evidence
the state was getting up. He had letters
to Nat Galloway, a prominent citizen,
who introduced him to District Attorney
FraWley, and he got into Frawley's
confidence. Frawley said he had
tried to make Mrs. Whipple, neighbor
OF Mrs. Russell, swear that she gave
some arsenic to Mrs. Russell which
was bought in the city, but she would
not.
Before Noble had reached this part of
The story Judge, jury, lawyers aud spec
tators were listening with Wrapt atten-
ton to the story, which had come upon
the prosecution like clap of thunder.
But the most startling part of Nobe's
testimony was yet to be told. He said
that FraWley had stated that he had
spoon and bottle stolen from Mrs. Rus
sells house and had tried to get an old.
fortune teller named Kennedy. for
$500, to swear that Mrs. Russell
had made a confession to him; that
Frawley asked witness to get bottle of
arsenic and place it in Mrs. RusselPs
house and then have an officer 90
with him and lind it, ana wit
ness was then to swear that
Mrs. Russell made a confession. Noble
declared that Frawley sent him wit
ness) with a livery carriage to Mrs.
Russell's house, and witness had
made fictitious report to Fraw-
ley of what occurred there. FrawIey
said, according to Mobiles story. that
Mrs. Russell would be lynched if she
were acquitted, and that Judge Bailey
and Mrs. Russell ought to be lynched if
the Judge threw the case out Of court on
account Of the absence of Prof. Haines.
Noble said that Frawley had finally
become suspicious of witness and told
the witness he would try -- hard
to send him to- the penitentiary if he
went on the stand and told what had
passed between them.
