The mysterious behring's are sold
in tins, their technical name being
''Deutsche Delicatessen,'' in other
words, 'German tasty bits.'' A
firm in the Fatherland sent over
some of these delicacies to Mr..
Lingen, a restaurant keeper in
London, and when that gentleman
failed to sell them, owing to their
twenty-horse odor, it sued him for

A TERRIBLE WRECK
Two Killed and Three Badly In
.jured by the Derailment Of
an Eastern Freight.
Partridge on the Eastern Mime
sofa the Scene Of the HOr- Is
rible CataStrOphe.

SUPERIOR, Special, June 24.-De-
tailed particulars of the terrible wreck
on the Eastern Minnesota railway near
Partridge, forty-fve miles from Supe-
rior, were obtained tonight from eye
witnesses of the awful occurrence. The
special train, which consisted Of 26
empty and 20 loaded cars, was running
at the rate of 30 miles an hour when it
struck an OK sleeping on the track. The
wreck took place only a few rods from
a gulch, and the engine and entire
train was piled into one massive heap
Of wreckage, which ignited, and was
completely consumed. Nothing but
the caboose remains of the Inflated
train. Twenty cars ahead were loaded
with coal and merchandise. They were
piled upon the engine, which is total
loss. The railroad suffers a damage of
at least 100000.
TWO BURNED ALIVE.
Engineer Ingersoll and Head Brake
man McNanny were found in the wreck
and either suffocated or cremated alive.
The latter theory is the more plausible.
Charred bones, all that is left of the
unfortunate men, have been found in
the ashes. Several tramps are thought
to have been on the train and they
were also killed. The killed and in
jured are:
John N. Ingersoll, engineer, killed.
Mike McNanny, head brakeman,
killed.
Matthew Riley, fireman, arm broken
and frightfully scalded.
Frank McCambridge, rear brakeman,
and Baxter. Hall, conductor, badly in
jured.
Riley was taken to his home at No.
70 Sycamore street, St. Paul, where he
has a family. The remainder of the
men are single and reside in this city.
