THE REAR END.
Again the Freight Train Crashes
Into the Work Train.
But Few Charred Bones OF Several Per.
sons All That Was Left-Another
Confiagration at Brook

ALEXANDRIA, Mimi, Dec. ia
| wreck occurred on the Great Northern
at Nelson, about six miles east of here
| at o'clock this morning. The wreck
ers stationed at this place were clearing
up a small wreck that occurred the
| night before, and after finishing the
| work about 9 o'clock, the men went in
to the caboose and soon fell asleep, ex-
pecting the wrecker to pull out for St
Cloud at any time.
About 1 o'clock an eastbound freight
came down the long grade west of Nell
SON and ran into the rear end of the
wrecker at almost full speed. All the
men in the cabooSe were killed except
two who jumped through the window
before the train caught fire. Three
men were taken from the burning
caboose, but were dead, and the rest of
the bodies were burned. Four of the
men were found, but all but one was so
badly burned that nothing but the
bones remained. Six other men, who
were in box car, were badly injured
and one fireman was also badly hurt,
having an arm broken.
1t is pretty hard to lay the blame on
any one person in this case, as the con-
ductor had orders to run in on the side
track at Nelson and the engineer claims
he tried to slack up so they could open
the switch, but there was not brake
man on car and being loaded and
coming down grade it was impossible
for him to do so. The brakeman had
no orders from the conductor that they
were to stop at Nelson and therefore
did not apply the brakes. The coroner
and a jury will hold an inquest to-day.
ANOTHER FIRE IN BROOKLYN.
New YORK, Dec 19.-The fve-story
brick building at the corner of Flush
ing avenue and Ricerson street, Brook
Ign, owned and occupied by C. A. Jur-
gems, wholesale grocer, was totally de-
stroyed by fire early this morning, with
several of the adjoining buildings
on either side The loss will
probably foot up nearly $780,
600. The Jurgens building was
heavily stocked with -four and holiday
goods. The fire spread to the buildings
on either side of the big store and
special alarm brought more engines
1t was feared that the entire block
would go, as the high wind was carry
ing large brands for half block. The
high building at pa Flushing avenue,
owned and occupied as a saloon and
dwelling by Henry Beeimer. and the
building next to it, owned and occu-
pied by George C. Tietgen, also liquor
dealer, were both almost totally de-
stroyed. The firemen worked against
great odds, owing to the high wind and
intense heat
Mr.. Jurgens says the loss will be
about $4,000 on the building and $780,
900 on the stock, fully covered by insur-
ance. 1t is believed by the police that
the fire was incendiary and Thomas
Mccain, who was found in the build
ing shortly after the fire started, has
been arrested on suspicion.

EIGHT-HOUR LAW.
Knocked Out on q Technically in Massa
oh


chusetts.
FALL RIVER, Mass, Dec. 19.-In the
Second district court, Counsel Jennings
filed an answer to the complaint charg-
ing the Union cotton manufacturers
with violating the eight-hour law.
Counsel presented motion which was
read and filed, which called for quash
ing the complaint on technicalities.
One important feature of the motion,
which had much effect upon the court,
and which resulted in the discharge of
the defendant, was in relation to the
fifty-eight-hour notices posted in the
different rooms of the mill. The statute
calls for such to be posted in each room,
stating the hours of starting, stopping.
etc, attested by the chief of police and
the Encouragement The latter's sig
nature was wanting in the case and
the court dismissed the defendant on
the ground that there was no obligation
for the mill to run under the schedule
mentioned since it was not properly
signed. The decision is considered i'm
portant, inasmuch as all the notices in
other mills are a reproduction of this
one

constitutional the apportionment act
passed by the democratic legislature
two years ago, under the provisions of

is that the apportionment laws of 1891,

by reason of the matters alleged in the
complaint, but the court also finds that
there is de facto legislature elected,
qualified to enact a law which may

BANDITS OF THE SAHARA.
The Touaregs said to BE the Worst of All
Organized Robbers.

The TOuaregs said to BE the Worst of All
Organized Robbers
The Touaregs are the most formida-
BILE band of professional brigands in
the world. They occupy the entire CEN
trail part of the Sahara, from Ghadames
on the north to Timbuctoo on the
south. 1t is impossible to give an ap-
proXimate idea of their numbers. DIR.
Supan estimates the population of the
entire Sahara at $500, 900, and 1t is
probable that the twenty-six sub
families of the great tribe of the Touar-
egs number at least 400, 900 souls. All
the trade routes from Algeria and
Tunis, and some of those from Morocco
and Tripol, pass through their terri
tory. 1t was these fanatical nomaos
who murdered Miss Time, the hand
some young heiress of Holland, whose
devotion to the cause of discovery led
to her tragical fate in the desert. The
Touaregs murdered the entire Flatters
expedition. They killed half dozen
Catholic priests who were toiling across
the desert to found missions in the
Soudan. Lieut. Palat, and, a little
later, Camille Douls, both of whom
were undertaking the hazardous jour
ney to TimbuctOo, met death by vio-
lence in the Touareg country. But
their hand is turned no more against
the whites than against every traveller
in their land who has plumber worth
selling.
The Central Sahara is a land where
violence is supreme, where treachery is
the only law. Not one of the murder
ers of white travellers has been pun
ished. Ernest MERCER and NJ LIE Chat
eller have graphically described the
reign of terror in this great region.
Many thousands of Arabs or Arab-Ber-
bers, who live by camel raising, spend
their lives in the Touareg country or
around its borders They guard their
herds with arms in their hands, but
very often the guards are killed by
sudden descent of Touaregs, and the
herds are driven away to enrich the
bandit camps. Only those Arab tribes
are safe that pay heavy blackmail to
be let alone. Trading caravans are al
ways on the lookout for black specks
on the horizon that may indicate the
approach of the desert pirates. As
soon as a suspected group appears in
the distance the camels are collected
and made to lie down, the goods are
piled up behind them, and inside this
double rampant the traders open fire
when the enemy comes within range.
More than half the time the Touaregs
win the day, and the booty that falls
to them they regard as an ample recon-
pense for the losses they sustain--St-
Louis Globe-Democrat
