An Engineer. Fate.

Three years ago Fred Almquist, OF
RoclSland, became an engineer on the
c., NJ. Il st. =. railroad, and since that
time his life has been a series of acct
dents. About one year ago his entire
tram was wrecked at Adventure
bridge, 3O5 miles north of Milwaukee,
and the bridge was destroyed. Last
June he was wrecked on the same
train but nine miles south of the first
wreck. His engine was thrown down
l0-foot embanlSmcnt and several cars
piled on top of it; but Fred crawled
out of the wreck without a scratch.
During the recent forest fires he
started north with the same engine
and train. Fires ragged fercely each
side of the track for many miles,
necessitating very careful watch
and slow run; but in spite of all pre-
cautions, when he reached the spot
near Adventure bridge, where he was
, wrecked year ago, the rails spread,
and the engine turned over on its
right side in precisely the same man
ner as last June, killing Fred instantly.
A passenger was due in one hour.
Scores of lives were in danger. Twice
Brakeman Crane started ahead to flag
the approaching train, but each time
he was driven back by the smoke, his
face burned and hair scorched. The
third time he succeeded, and stopped
the train just in time. Brakeman
, orion was found with broken leg.

Judge Long. Pension, Again.

Judge Long, of Michigan, filed his
replication in the suit for man damus
against the commissioner of pensions
in the supreme court of the District of
Columbia. He denies the allegation
of the pension Office that he is able to
perform such labor rs may be per-
formed by a person having one arm,
entirely disabled. Judge Long holds
that his duties as one of the justices of
the supreme court of Michigan can in
no way be construed as manual labor,
an opinion which was concurred in by
Commissioner Tanner in 1889.

The ladies of Ann Arbor who for a
long time have been studying politics
armed themselves for war and put a
straight ticket in the field at the
school election. Emma T.. Bower,
Amoretta l.. Stevens and Aida c. Burt
were their candidates. The masculine
electors nominated Evart II. Scott,
John V. Sheehan and John X. Miner,
the last named to succeed Phillip Bach,
who retired after Al years of service.
The contest was exciting; 964 votes
were cast, a number, exceeded but
once in the history of the city, nearly
one-half by women. The ladies
formed u combination of Messrs. Scott
and Miner and Miss Bower and car
ried their candidate.

The steamer S. S. Curry arrived at
Gladstone with the largest cargo ever
foated on fresh water. 1t consisted
of 4,49l tons of coal, and ESQ tons Of
fuel, making total of 4,7i0 tons and
drawing only 1876 feet of water. This
cargo almost equals two of the whale

averted.

She was so frail, this little snowdrop

that Marguerite Clyde was not long

to let her go SO far away from him,
and know that they might never meet
again; to carry sad heart in his
breast all day, and lie awake at night
TO grieve over the enforced separa-
ton. A feeling of desolation, too ter
rible for expression, crept into the
young mans breast. If he could only
accompany his loved one! But that
was impossible. All their future,
should she be spared to him, depended
upon his efforts. He was working
early and late, to make home-a
pretty home-for his darling; and
Marguerite would not listen to his

SAN FRANCISCO. September 12-Files
OF the Japan Advertiser and the Kobe.
Japan. Herald have been received via Vic
toria, and bring news of the war to August
% 1t is reported that four fast Chinese
torpedo catchers are lying at Canton, in
waiting for japanese merchant vessels
which may come from foreign countries
laden with arms and ammunition. Ali of
them are said to be able to make eighteen
knots.
There has been some fighting at Bing
Chong, Corea. but no decisive engagement
has yet taken place. 1t is probable, how
ever. that the next battle will take place in
that vicinity. Bing Chong is situated north
Of Seoul, near the Tai Dong river After
the battles Of Ason and Zikwan many of
the defeated Chinese made their way to
Bing Chong, where q portion of the army
was posted. There Is now q large force
there. as Chinese troops numbering about
10000 have arrived from Anjun. The Chi
nese ordered the governor to supply rice FOR
the use Of the army. Two thousand Chi
nese troops have also arrived at Hosan-
Chin: on the banks of the Tai Dong river.
and have started to build a fort to defend
the position. They are collecting rice and
other provisions In the neighborhood.
The Expected Battle.
A japanese general says that the battle
which will take place soon at Bling Chong
will have important bearing on the ulti-
mate outcome of the war In Corea.
According to a correspondent Of the Japan
Advertiser. there are now in Corea 1850
troops. OF this number 500 are cavalry
The Chinese army numbers about the same,
the main body being encamped at Ping
Yang. where formidable earthworks have
been thrown up. This will be the Chinese
base of operations In Corea. Besides the
Chinese the same correspondent asserts
that there are 20,OOO Coreans arrayei
against the Japanese. but as most of these
are poorly armed, or unarmed, they do not
constitute a formidable force. When they
joined the Chinese army they were supplied
by the latter with rifles. as 1t was intended
that they should greatly strengthen the
ce!estials.

Result of the Drought.

ST LOUIS. Mo-, September ia special
to the Republic from Coiumbiana. Mo..says:
The weekly crop bulletin of the Missouri
board Of agriculture reports the long con-
tinued drouth broken in nearly all the corn-
ties of the state. In the northwest section,
corn was too far gone to be benefited by the
rain. except in a very few localities, but in
other sections later corn in many counties
is much improved, and in some will make
an average crop. Cutting is progressing in
all sections, and in many localities nearly
the entire crop is now in shock. Grasses
have been given a new lease Of life, and
pastures were green again, though feeding
is really necessary in some counties. The
rain has put soil in good condition to work.
and farmers are busy blowing, preparing fer
the fall seeding. Seeding Is now in progress
in some counties, and will become genera
during the present week. Orchards have
been greatly benefited by the rains. Fan
apples are being gathered.

ments to Chicago.
CHICAGO, ILL.,. September 12.-At a meet
ing of the Chicago live stock exchange the
committee recently appointed to investigate
the matter of terminal charges reported
that the terminal charge OF ~ on every car
Of live stock entering the yards was I'M
just and decidedly detrimental to the Chi
cago market. The report also stated that
1t was the belief Of the committee that I'M
less this charge was rescinded or the same
tax added at competitive markets consid-
cradle stock will continue to be diverted
from this market, which also means q loss
to the stock yards company, the railroad
companies and to the members of the ex
change. The committee not being vested
with the power to prosecute the matter
further and believing that everything should
be done that lies in the power of the ex-
change to abolish the abuse, recommended
that the exchange furnish the committee
with power to employ counsel with view
to taking action in the courts, or, If neces-
sary, to lay the matter before the legisla
ture The report was unanimously adopted
