a Crime that Cost One Life and Endan-
Sered Many Others.
BATTLE CREEK, Mich, July IA bad
wreck on the Chicago and Grand Trunk
at this city occurred Mt O'Clock in the
morning. 1t was the work of men who
mad grudge against the road and who
wanted to get even with the company.
Some time after midnight the bolts were
removed from the fish plates which held
the rails together and the plates taken
from the rails at the top of Austin hill,
just west of this city. Train No. 6, due
here at 2:5O, was twenty minutes late at
this station, and was running fast to make
up time. The train had just passed the
,op of the hill and was coming down the
grade when the engine and train left the
track and jumped into the ditch.
seventy Five Passengers ON Board.
The train was the same one that was in
the awful wreck here last fall. 1t con-
sisted of the express car, baggage car.
one day coach. and four Pullmans When
the rails spread the engine ran about 100
feet ana then went over on its side in the
ditch. The tender followed it and the day
turned
across the track. The trucks of the cars
were forced of and they We're badly dam
aged. The end OF the baggage cars was
crushed in and all of the derailcd coaches
were stove in and badly demol-
ished. There were seventy-fve pas
sengers on the train and all were more or
less shaken up, cut and bruised, but fort
unately none are badly injured. The day
coach, which went over on its side, was
lighted with gas and the lights went out
the instant 1t left the rail. The engineer
and firemen of the train were from Els
den, HIS, and were making their first run
on this section of the road. Fireman
Thomas Crow was thrown several feet
from the engine and his neck broken. He
died almost Instantly.
Woman Seriously Injured.
Engineer Miller was badly cut about
the head and face. Brakeman Mitchell,
Conductor Bishop and Baggageman
Adams were also badly cut and bruised,
but their injuries are not fatal. The most
seriously injured of the passengers is a
woman named Roberts of Chicago, who
was badly cut about the head and face,
and Is also injured internally Many
OF the passengers We're cut and
bruised. but are not seriously injured.
There is no doubt, but the wreck was the
result OF IL deliberate plot to wreck the
train and take the lives of a number of
passengers. The same kind of plot was
attempted at Vicksburg last week. One
of the tracksmen fortunately found that
the plates had been removed from the
rails in the same manner as they were
this time and in time to prevent an acct
dent. There is yet no clew to the perpe-
traitors of the crime, but several men are
Under suspicion.

EARLY BANKS.
1t Was a Difficult Task to Escape the
Robbers.

1t Was Difficult Task to Escape the
Robbers.
1t must have been difficult in the
middle ages for a man of limited means
to take care of his savings. There
were, it is true, the Lombard and
GenOese bankers, who dealt with
princes, mobiles, bishops and the abbots
of the greater mOnaSteries, and as time
went on there arose the Sienese- Roman
| firm of Chigi, with its hundred
branches, which in later times supplied
a pOntiff to the holy see, who bore the
name of Alexander VII; but of what
service We're these great luXury-lOving
people to the peddler, the yeOman or
small shopkeeper, whose gains came
not in by pounds, angels or marks, but
in penny driblets, with perhaps an odd
groat of profit on a very successful
| venture? How was their money stored?
In some cases we suspect that the
church wardens took care of it in the
parish chest, though if put to the proof
of what we say we should not be very
ready with an answer, but it is quite
certain that, as years rolled on and
guilds sprang up in every village, they
acted as bankers for the guild men,
But there must have been many per-
sons who belonged to no guild, some
because they were of loose life and such
as no guild would enroll, others because
they were landleSs folks who had no
settled place of abode. 1t was danger
Gus to carry specie on the person in
those days.
There were many Robin Hoods abroad
who had no scruples as to robbing the
poor as well as the rich. To the weak
the only course that was open, if they
could not deposit their coin in the
hands of some trustworthy neighbor,
was to bury it in the earth. This is
the explanation of the numerous
boards of coin which have turned up
from time to time from the thirteenth
century to the present time.

lions, so finally Cusick consented.
At the duel everybody in the settle
ment turned out to witness the fun.
The seconds were chosen, Deacon Hill
ton and Jim Morton acting in that ca
pacity for the elder. The two men
were arranged in position, by the side
of each being half-bushel measure
full of large, plump potatoes. Lawton
threw the first one, and it struck his OPP
ponent and fell to pietes. A loud shout
of delight went up from those around,
which furthur intensified Cusicks
much rufiled feelings, and his potato
went wide of the mark. The elder
watched his chances, and every time
his opponent stopped for a potato an
other one hit him with terrific force in
the ribs. The fellow received five doses
in this way. Then a sixth tuber hit
him in the short rib, and he lay on the
grass doubled up with pain and groan-
ing: Enough" The bystandcrs went
wild with delight, but Lawton looked
very sober. Cusick was taken home and
put to bed and there he stayed for more
than a week and when he again appeared
he was greeted with so many ieers and
Kisses that he was glad to shake the
dust of the settlement from his feet, :"

Elder Lawton, Being Challenged Fought
and Whipped Pat Custck with Potatoes.
How Elder Lawton fought duel is
told by correspondent of the Dexter
Me.) Gazette. The elder was travel
ing preacher, a tall, muscular old gen.
tleman, and he was conducting meet
ings in a town of Franklin county,
where dwelt a troublesome character
known as Pat Cusick. Pat, having Gre
ated a disturbance at one of these meet
ings, was publicly rebuked by the elder
and thereupon Pat sent him a chal-
lenge. The preachers first thought
was to treat the matter with silent con-
tempt. Then he reflected that Cusick
always kept the community in com
motion, and no one ever dared to in
terfere with his movements, so he de-
cided to accept the challenge and trust
to the Lord. As the challenged party
LawtOn had the choice of weapons He
selected half bushel of large Irish po-
tatoes and stipulated that his opponent
must stand fifteen PAGES away and that
only one potato at a time should be
taken from the basket. This PROPOSE,
ton Infatuated Cusick and he declared
that that was no way to satisfy honor,
but Lawton insisted upon his rights

MOUNTAIN SICKNESS.
Why Climbers of Mountains Suffer Dis
tress at a Certain Elevation.

why climbers or mountains SuNer Dis
tress at a Certain Elevation.
A French scientist has announced the
result of experiments to determine the
real cause of mountain sicbness-a
complaint that seizes many mountain
climbers, and which may be said to
correspond with sea sickness. 1t has
recently been proposed to bore a tun-
mel from the base to the summit of the
Jungfrau, distance Of 10, 900 feet, and
to install therein a great passenger
elevator, but warnings of the dreaded
mountain sickness, which 1t is said
would surely make the tourist repent
his temerity, have brought the project
to standstill Struck by the fact
that mountain climbers are affected at
an elevation of about 1900 feet, while
aeronauts can without trouble ascend
to double that height, the scientist con-
Guided that muscular fatigue has some
thing to do with it, He accordingly
placed under a bell jar two guinea
pigs. of whom one had to work wheel
while the other was at rest. The air
of the bell jar was then progressively
exhausted. At a pressure equivalent
to 5000 feet the climbing guinea pig
showed signs of distress, and at $4,000
feet he renowned the struggle and re-
manned lying ON his back. The other
guinea pig, however, appeared quite
comfortable up to an elevation of 49,
600 feet. and his condition became seri-
GUS only at height of $4,000 feet.
