WRECKED TRAINS.

Two Trains on the Dakota Central Rail-
way Terribly Wrecked.
The east bound accommodation
train and the west. bound way freight
collided about q mile east of Manche
ster last Friday afternoon and were
badly mashed.
Just before the engines met, both
engineers put on the air brakes and
they and their firemen jumped from
the engines. McNerny. an engineer
hurt his ankle seriously, and Winnd
gar, fireman, was dangerously, if NJ
fatally injured, q car beam havifl
struck him in the back with great
force,
Several reports are current and
they so conflict that the REGISTER is
unable to state just what was the
cause OF the accident. The conduct
ors on both trains have been in the
employ OF the company for years and

ther engineer saw that the track was
occupied until they were very nearly
together, While the blame may rest
on one OF the conductors, the rail-
road company should have had an
operator at Manchester. A CORE
spondent at Iroquois says: "Too
much credit cannot be given Loomis
and Markham, the conductor, for
their heroic efforts for the comfort OF
the passengers and their devotion to
the interest OF the company in having
walked to this towp, q distance of
seven miles, in the face OF q bowling
blizzard, to notify the Huron Office OF
the accident. They arrived here in q
exhausted condition, but restoratives
were applied and they were soon able
to send their messages. The pas
sengers were well cared for and have
generally recovered from the shock.
Certainly the company is not much
ahead financially from having saved
the expenses of this operator for a
few years"
We are informed that Conductor
Hinman walked back to De Snet and
was also nearly exhausted when he
reached that placs.

Wedding Chimas.

The wedding OF Capt. P. C. Murphy,
our states attorney, with Miss Anna
l.. Garvey, youngest dauehtes Of Mr.
and Mrs. John Garvey, of Rochester,
Mimi, occurred Monday Nov. 20, at
8 O'Clock q. m, at st. Johns church
in the city OF Rochester, MINI. The
ceremony was very quiet, only the rel
atives and immediate irlends of the
contracting parties being invited. The
bride was attended by MISS Elizabeth
M. Feeney as bridesmaid, and the
groom by James f. Brooke as best man
At the close of the ceremony the
wedding party returned to the home
OF the brides parents where an in
formal reception was held in their
honor.
The happy couple were the recipi.
ents of many valuable presents, from
their friends and relatives. showing
the esteem in which they are held.
Capt. and Mrs. Murphy arrived in
Brookings Tuesday on the morning
train and at once took up their resi-.
dence in the Captains property ON
Williams street where we hope they
will continue to reside in health and
prosperity for long years to come.

The Brookings PostofHce.

There are already in sight several
democratic candidates for the Brook
ings city postoffice, among whom are
Geo. B. Haber, j. Downing and j. v.
Walker. The plum will no doubt be
given to either Haber or Downing, as
Walker announced his withdrawal
from the party few weeks before
election, and Downing has never been
Cleveland man, always favoring
Hill.
The above article appeared in the
Sioux Falls Argus Leader OF the Goth.
The REGISTER of course has no way
of ascertaining just how soon the
postoffice may change hands, but
we know one statement is untrue and
that is regarding the withdrawal
of Mr.. Walker from the democratic
party. J. v. Walker has been a resi-
dent of Brookings for fourteen years
and has always been full.fedged,
out and out democrat, and has
been an enthusiastic worker for the
party. 1t is q mistake that he in any
manner withdrew from the party
during the late campaign. The other
aspirants for the office are good men
and any one OF the three would no
doubt fill the position acceptably,
but Mr.. Skinner has about two years
vet to complete his term and should
he be allowed to retain the position
the remaider of the term the boys
will have q chance TO cool of before
entering the final contest.

The Wedding.

A telegram from Huron speaks of
the wedding of DR.. Fourt and Miss
Fanny l.. Shannon, as follows:
DR.. Frank Fourt. of Brookings, and
Miss Fannie L. Shannon, of this city,
were united in marriage at the home
of the brides parents, Editor j. w.
Shannon and wife, last evening, Rev.
w. j. Vaux officiating. Only rela-
tives and immediate friends were
present. including number from
abroad. The ceremony was very
pretty and quite impressive. The
happy couple we're the recipients OF
numerous presents, both Cseiul and
expensive. The bride was attired In
light blue satin. Miss Lilley, of Brook
ings, was bridesmaid, and J. @. Jenk-
ins, of Brookings, was groomsman.
Brookings college sent an abundant
supply OF flowers for decorations, the
bride having been for years q student
and member of the faculty OF that in
stitution. They will make their home
in Brookings.

Another Citizen Gone.

VIM. G. Copeland was taken i'll with
typhoid fever some weeks ago and for
some time lay between life and death.
The latter part OF last week he was
reported hetter, but he almost inn.
mediately grew worse and expired
Friday, Nov. 26, 1892. He was born
in Canada May 4, 1852, and was
married in 1882, and came directly
to Brookings, where he had been EN-.
ployed at the Agricultural college up
to the time OF his illness. He leaves
a widow and one daughter aged eight
wears. The sorrowing wife and
daughter accompanied the remains to
Canada last Monday morning. Mr..
Copeland had a farm in that country
and his widow will take up @ perman.
ent residence thereon. The deceased
was q noble man and his large circle
of friends here deeply mourn his loss.

No More Ten-Dollar Immigrants.

The nation has been forced to cut
off Mongolian immigration to save its
own lahorers from starving wages and
destitution. It has been compelled
to prohibit imported contract labor
to protect it's own skilled wage earn
ers against ruinous competition. The
time has now come to draw the line
between hundred dollar immigrants
and ten-dollar immigrants, to shut
out that horde whe are assisted" out
OF their own country because they
are not wanted and rush here packed
in immigrant vessels at cattle rates.

Mr.. Robins was sent for. The play was
