THE LETTER OF COLUMBUS.
The Original an Invaluable Treasure Not
Yet Brought to Light.

The Original an Invaluable Treasure Not
Yet Brought to Light.
In well-known private library in this
city distinguished for it's possession Of
one Of the finest collections of "Ameri-
cana" in the country. there are six copies
/, different editions-of the famous Let
ter Of Columbus" The translation into
English OF the title page Of one Of the
copies referred to is as follows:
Letter from Christopher Colon TO whom our age
oweth much concerning the islands OF India, beyond
the Gange.. recently discovered In the search OF
Of the h soSesns OF spa
Ferdinand and Isabella Addressed TO the most
most serene monarchs which the noble and learned
eao s ds e 6Sd a rro on s
Alexander VI
With regard to the letter of Columbus,
we find it stated on the best authority
that IL was written on board his caravas
OH the 18th of February, at which date he
was lying off the island of St. Mary, one
of the Azores. IL was one OF the Two Of
fetal accounts of his voyage which he
prepared to send home to Spain. and was
addressed, as is intimated, to Gabriel
Sanchez or Sanxis crown treasurer.
Where is that original Litter, written In
Spanish
How eagerly would the biblomaniac
lay his hand upon IL, IL he only knew
where it is to be found. But we are so
confidently assured that "no copy, either
in print or in manuscript, has yet been
found"
In the PROVIDENCE library there is
curious German translation Of the letter
of Columbus. The translation of the
title of this small quarto OF eight leaves
is the following:
A fine, nice reading concerning several islands
which have been lately discovered by the King OF
Spain and glv account of and WOnuer-
full things found In the said Islands.
We can hardly realize how great must
have been the excitement throughout all
civilized Europe when the information
communicated by the letter OF Columbus
was scattered in all directions, rs it very
soon mnst have been. The spirit of dis
covery was stimulated afresh. aud mems
minds were everywhere stirred. eager to
know what new tidings would reach
them from the unknown lands which lay
beyond the wide waste of hitherto un-
sailed seas.

had the effect crowding the street at
all times with conveyances of every con-
ceivabe style and variety. In fact so
great has become the traffic of late years,
that frequent "jams" and BLOCKS" typi-
cal of the busy thoroughfare in the me-
tropolis, often ensue, demanding arduous
and persistent labor on the part of the
police officials TO open, up the highway
for travel
Not little of the confusion is created
by the long lines of carriages which daily
line the front of the large stores on this
street, and at all times the continuous
succession of passing vehicles is embar-
rassing.
For a considerable length OF time past,
surely ten years, the question of divert
ing a portion of this heavy traffic To
other streets has been considered and
agitated. but, so far, without any def
mite result. Most of the plans when fg-

Prof. McNaughton. The Professor
said that Cavalier county showed the
best record in regard to attendance at
the teachers institute Of any county in
the state. Out Of 50 teachers only
three were absent and they on account
OF sickness. This speaks well for the
energy of our teachers, taking into
consideration the inclement weather
condition Of the roads at this season

had to come. The teachers all exhibit
ted a commendable degree of interest

lutions were read by Fred Borusky,

Terrible Accident on the Great North
 ern Railroad-Sleeping Trafnmen
 Killed and IDjured-Caboose of a
 Wrecking Train Smashed by a
 Freight-Four Burned Beyond Rec
 ognition.
 ALEXANDRIA, Minn., Dec. 1S.-An acci- dent occurred on the Great Northern rail- road at Nelson's station, five miles east, in which eight men were killed and five seri- ously injured. There was & collision Fri day at Nelson and number of ears were wrecked. The wrecking train had been there two days clearing up and was pre- pared to go out. At about 1 o'clock this morning the wrecking train csboose was left standing on the main track with number of cars. An eastbound freight due about o'clock had orders to side track for the passenger due at 1:20. There Is heavy grade west of the station and as the freight with thirty-six loads approached the switch steam was shut of and brakes were called for. There was no pereeptibie decrease of speed, and Con- ductor Mickey began setting brakes, but the speed was too great to stop. Within @ train length of the cabooss both engineer and fireman jumped. The engine struck the wrecking train and threw the caboose on top of the next car, setting both on fire. There were fourteen men in the caboose. One, Foreman Bergland, jumped of; five were hurt, three were burned beyond recognition and four were killed. One WAS totally burned up, without sign of his remains being found. The killed are:
 Nels O. Doken, Christ Msrtinsen, Ole Martinsen, John Engstrsnd, John Aker- son, man unknown, Conductor Drummer.
 The injured are: A. N. Broseu, back and head, serious; Thomas Welch of Boston, Mass, bad scalp cuts, ribs broken; Pat Hannon of Boston, shoulder Davin Reid, slight injury to head; Henry Moss, fireman on sastbound freight, shoulder dislocated.
 The coroner commenced an inquest to- day. The accident was due to the heavy grade having @ curve, and perhaps care lessness in leaving the cabeose on the main track or slowness in applying brakes.
 The men killed were train wreckmen, and were asleep when the accident oc- cured,
