The train bearing the regular army
troops home from Chicago was run into
by a stock train two miles below ot'
Paul yesterday morning, several horses
being killed, a number of the men slientiy
injured and two baggage cars CONTAINING
baggage, paraphernalia and mattresses

Chicago with four companies OF the
Third infantry in command of Col. Ma Ma
son. The detachment consisted OF ouV
men and eighteen officers, and at the
head end of the train which was IN
charge of Conductor Bement there was
a stable car containing six horses, the
property of the officers, and two baggage
cars in which were the accoutrements
and personal effects of the troops. Inc
train was due in St. Paul at = q. M
and was within two miles of the CITY

rounding a sharp curve about a mile east
of Edgerton street Engineer Curiey
noticed the stock train bearing down
upon him at a good rate of speed. ne
quickly reversed his lever, as did the Gu

RELIGION and Politics.

Chicago, Oct. 25.-Mgr. Satolli, who has
been the guest of Archbishop Feehan
while attending the worlds fair dedicato-
ry exercises, will leave for St. Paul to-
morrow. He expressed himself to-day as
delighted with the ceremonies and dis
play, which surpassed his expectations.
ln an interview he adverted. however, to
the unfriendly comments of a portion of
the press. Hardly had the monsignor ar
rived IN this country when he remarked
with a feeling of pain the unworthy man
ner with which some, even of the highest
1ncl'tls OF the government. were assailed
by certain Catholic papers, and he said
that he deeply deplored the fact that,
particularly at this moment, when the
holy see was receiving so many marks of
sympathy and protection, some papers
should be found bearing the maine of
catholic and iudulging in unbecoming
abuse and employing uEseemly language
against persons placed in high govern
mental positions. He said that while
Catholic papers generally undoubtedly
had the m right as other paper to
discuss political matters with all lawful
freedom, still that common propriety, as
well as the name these papers bear, re-
qulres that all their debates should be
regulated by Il spirit of moderation and
OF Christian charity, and that particu-
larly in spe liking of high placed officials
they should never allow themselves to
descend to Indignifcd personalities or to
the contrary they should always speak Of
these gentlemen with respect to the honor
that is due to the high position they oc-
cIpy; and above all they should never
allow themselves to identity religion
with politics, or to introduce the church
into the arena of political strifes.

MULES AND WIRE FENCES.

An Incident That Proves That De-
=. Applied Can Overcome Great Diff
'cultiee.
"Your mule has no use for a barb
wire fence; 1 tell you," said Bill Vest
recently, as he sat on the pavement
in a big arm chair, in front OF Hurst's
Hotel. Bill is from Howells county,
and, though no relation to Senator
Vest, is Just as good a Democrat as
the other dare be. Hewas up in St.
Louis to see how much it would cost
him to put q wire fence around his
whole farm. "a mule" he wen on
to say, "kin get away with any post
and-rail fence in the country. I've
seen 'em many q metiletdown a
pair OF bars with their teeth. A seven-
rail stake-and-rider fence worries the
animal now and then, but you just
give him time and he'll get thar, shore.
A barb wire fence, l tell you, does
more to worry a mule than anything
you ever heard of. I haven't got a
single one of the critters on the place
whose shoulders amt all SCARED up
by pushin' agin the barbs. In my
gang there's one old Teller that 1
wouldn't take money for. He played
a game on me and q wire fence, the
other day, that puts him a leetle
ahead of anything with four feet that
I've got. Some OF my young heifers
strayed of somewheres, and l strad-
died Old Pete to go and look for 'em.

1t was leetle warm in the afternoon,
and Pete was q leetle slow. Coming
to some thick underground, l pulled
on the bride to cut a switch from one
of the bushes. Pete got on to
my game the first motion made,
and began to back away a heap fast
er than he'd been agoin' ahead. In
about three yards or so he came to a
mighty sudden halt, and up went
both heels at once and over mis- head

Pickin' myself up l saw the trouble.
Pete had backed up agin a barb-wire
fence that run over the hill there, and
was kind O. hid by the bushes. These
wire fences meander all around some
times, and when you git after arabbit

to fetch you and your dogs up-a-

but Pete didn't whoa a cent. His
whole mind seemed to be in his heels,
and he kept them heels a goin' till the
whole neighborhood was in a cloud of
dust and leaves, and it looked like q
young cyclone goin' on there before

get my breath. In about two minutes,
l reckon, the rumpus kind o. died

me square in the face, throwed his
ears forward and slowly winked his

what had been done. About two
panels of that fence was clean gone,

BROUGHT OVER BY COLUMBUS
A Rare Old Bell Now Owned by a
New Jersey Colored Church.

A Rare Old Bell Now Owned by a
New Jersey Colored Church.
The congregation of the African
Methodist episcopal church at Haley
vile, N. j., has a rare relic in the
shape of a large bell, which is said by
those who have traced it's history to
be the Oldest, bell in the western hem
isphere. The bell was procured by
Captain Elias Newell on one of the Ba-
hama islands and presented by him
to the church. It is one of the bells,
as stated, which Ferdinand and Isa-
bella placed upon the Alhambra in
1902, and in 1902 vas presented by
Queen Isabella to Christopher Colum-
bus upon his departure on his fourth
and last voyage to America. It was
placed in the chapel which was the be-
ginning of the great cathedral of Car
thagena in New Granada. In 1897,
upon the siege of Carthagena, it fell to
the share Of the French ship La Roch-
ellie. Afterward this ship was wrecked
upon the island of San Andreas, one
OF the Bahamas. A few of the crew
were saved, together with the bell.
From the descendants of the survi-
yors the bell and it's history were OBJ
tained}by Captain Newell, Of the bark
EzraNH. Fisk of Haleyville. There is
q debt of $3.50 resting upon the
church at Haleyville, and SO highly do
the people value the relic--the Colum.
bus bell-that they will not place it
in the church lest the latter may be
sold for debt and they lose. the bell,
but it is securely kept at the residence
of Trustee Alfred Green. 1t will be
400 years old next year, and, the
Brooklyn Eagle says. it is proposed
that it shall be exhibited at the Col.
umbian exposition.
