BRAVE DULUTH ENGINEER.


james Root Ran His Train Through Walls
Of Flame to Save 200 People.
ST. PAUL, Sept. 3.-The limited pas.
senger train from Duluth, bound for
st. Paul, was caught in the fire near
Hinckley Saturday afternoon and de-
stroyed.
Two hundred and fifty passengers
were saved from horrible death by the
bravery Of Engineer James Root and
his fireman, John MCGOWAN, who re-
manned at their posts and sent the
doomed train flying through walls Of
flame until swamp. or lake was
reached, where the passengers could
find refuge.
Rushing Into the Flames.
The train was within mile and a
half Of Hinckley when tagged by peo-
pie from town. The fire was then ad-
vancing with railroad speed towards
the train. At first Engineer Root
thought of putting on all speed and
rushing through the city, but an in
slant of reason caused him to abandon
the idea.
But Engineer Root did not hesitate.
He held the throttle open and sent the
train faster to the north, hoping to
reach Skunk Lake before the cars and
their loads Of human beings burned.
- L.
and the order was hastily passed through
the coaches to abandon the train and
fly to the swamp close by. The train
was on fire from the tender to the last
coach. The passengers fled to the
swamps, to await death or relief.
After he had saved SO many people
from being roasted alive, Engineer Root
sank down in the mud and water, ask

forthwith sent them to a reasonable boarding
house in charge of High School cadet mes
senger. These boys by the way, rendered
excellent service and were frequently compll-
mented by the committee for the dispatch
with which they did their work
The cadets on duty yesterday were William
E. Hillyer. @. Hart. A. NJ. Bond, ID. w. Prime,
Howard Phillips. d. V. Chadwick, c. Hood,
II. w. Draper, Alexander W. Kemp, Peyton
Croft, and LIE Roy Heron.
Among the first organizations to arrive was
a regiment from Minnesota. There were
many ladies with them and they at once
started for the camp. After they had marched
a couple of blocks down the Avenue Knight
ran after them and informed them that there
were no accommodations for the ladies at the
camp. This seemed TO create great disap-
pointment. At Kansas City in the previous
encampment ladies were aGcommo lated In
the tented city, and it was expected that they
would at least be allowed sleeping accommo-
dations here.
Messrs. P. NJ. Brown. T. H. Lynch, and
William Vaughn were the committee OF
knights on duty at the depot, and they had
their hands full from an early hour in the
morning. The Franklin Commandery, which
escorted the Minnesota knights to the camp.
returned to the depot and did what they could
TO accommodate the strangers, hundreds OF
whom arrived on trains that came in every
few minutes.
The ticket scalpers were out in numbers,
and very nearly worried the life out of the Wis
iting Knights The police force about the de-
not was absolutely insufficient.

Round OF Occasions Which VIII Make the
Week Memorable.
Receptions, parades, inspections, and drills
will keep Knights Of Pythias who are in
Washington busy every day during the COM
ing week.
There are more points of interest in the
Capital than any other city in the country,
and those visitors who are not members of
the order will find their time occupied In visit
ing such places as the Capitol, Treasury De-
partment, and White House. The Soldiers
Home and Mount Vernon will also come in
for a goodly share of the patronage
Those strangers who are in Washington
to-day and tomorrow may proftably spend
the time at their disposal in promenading the
broad avenues and beautiful parks of the
city.
The eighteenth session OF the supreme
lodge convenes this year in this city, where it
was organized, the city which thirty years
ago gave birth to the order Of the Knights of
Pythias. At the same time, the Uniform Rank
or military division of the order holds its
fourth encampment and drill, with ten thou
sand handsomely equipped soldierly repre-
sentatives in the shadow of the Washington
Monument.
The occasion is one of unusual interest to
all members of the order, the citizens of
Washington, and the entire country.
1t is fraught with features which will make
it memorable, and will help to extend even
further the spirit OF fraternal friendship for
which the order stands.
STRENGTH OF THE KNIGHTS.
Notwithstanding the fact that the order OF
the knights of Pythias is rapidly extending
to every country in the world. it is as yet
practically an American institution. The
rapidity of its growth in the United States is
wonderful. and already it takes rank in num-
bers at least. with much older organizations
of similar character.
On the 18th of February, 1864. the first
lodge was organized in this city with sixteen
members. To-day there are over 5000 lodges
with membership of more than half mill
ion It is a review of these facts suggested
by this encampment which will impress upon
the minds Of knights and citizens the strength
of fraternal unity and render the occasion
memorable by drawing the membership Of

man, the shell-game man, the man of no
trade, the confidence man, and the man
of any trade. The coDtingents of these
classes who do business in daylight
dart out at you from nooks and
crannies and coignes of vantage everywhere.
They are selling badges from away back.
They are preaching the uses and special
values of Pythian stick pins, collar buttons,
pocketbooks, stamp boxes, rings. bracelets,
combs, brushes. pocket TASKS ready reckoners,
and the thousand aud one things that, they
say. ought to be found in the household of
Pythias, and Daman for that matter.
One peddler yesterday, regardless Of the
anarchronism, was Offering to sell an ''origi-
nal Pythian collar button" while another
was maintaining the excellence of ''chest-
NUT watch-charm, undoubtedly of the kind
worn by Dionysius of Syracuse. With these
meritable adjuncts in full blast and increas-
ing numbers, the preparations for the open
ing day were complete. The Knights are
here, the danes are here, the connection and
color are here, enthusiasm is abroad in the
land, the tents are spread, the sights and
sounds of the days are and will be merry
enough. The Pythians have taken the town
by storm, and all that is now wanting to
complete the purely picturesque detail of the
celebration is the food of light that will il
illuminate the grand industrial pageant and

REED UPLIFTS HIS VOICE.
In Opening the Campaign in Maine He
Seolds the Democratic Party and
Deuouuces Its Policy


OLD ORCHARD, Me-, Aug. 25.-EI-Speaker
Thomas b. Reed opened the Republican cam
paign in this State here this afternoon with a
speech which called forth the heartiest ap-
plsuse from the thousands present.
Mr.. Reeds main effort was to prove that
''The Democratic party had shown itself in
capable Of ruling the country in manner
satisfactory, not only 10 the majority of the
people but even to the large and respectable
min ority which helped 10 compose it.
Mr.. Reed said the trouble with the Demo-
cratic party was that a majority of its mem
hers lived in the South. They were men ofin-
telligence, but they lacked that thorough
knowledge Of business that characterizes the
North. Speaking Of the action Of the Senate
on the tariff bill be said:
The truth is that the action OF the consery-
ative Senators on many subjects is the result,
not OF their individual opinions but the result
Of the business interests which sur
round them. A Senator from the State
OF New Jersey could not be reckless with the
business interests Of his constituency like a
Senator from Arkansas. And even a Senator
from Arkansas, like Mr.. Jones, who has de-
voted patience TO the tariff question, al
though not surrounded by business interests
which control him, was irresistably borne in
the direction Of the Senate bill as it fually
passed that body"
NJ. heeQ referred TO the utteranceE Of
Chairman Wilson and Senator Mills in proof
OF his assertion that the present bill was not
70 be regarded as a inality.
Coming 70 the sugar clause OF the bill Mr..
Reed said that there were some features of its
manipulation that could not well be COM
mented upon. He then touched upon the
parliamentary struggle over that part Of the
bill IN the Sen ate. In conference and finally
in the House, which at last passed the entire
blll after only an hour and half Of debate
"Of course" said he. ''this was pure
farce. Everybody knew it, no matter how
they voted on the subject. The Senate voted
10 put on the bill an amendment authorizing
a continuance OF the bounty which had al
ready been granted under the Mckinley act
and which was promised to the people Of the
country for a period OF ten years This the
Democrats refused to adopt. so their "pop-
gun" bill and all the rest Of the ''popgun"
bills sleep the sleep in which they knew they
would rest

formed with regard TO the trusts has been TO

gave figures which showed that in all proba-
bility the bill for which he was there voting
and for which he was demanding votes. and
which he finally carried, will give 10 the sugar
trust S12,006,00 600 this very year outside the
protection OF refining"
Mr.. Reed then devoted himself 70 a review
Of the appropriations made by the presen;
Congress, claiming that, though IL had cut
down pensions S29 ,000, 900. it has exceeded
the expenditures of the first session OF the
''biIlion-dollar" Congress 10y S27. 900 900.

The Baltimore and Potomac Railroad depot
was very Mecca of the Knights Nearly all
day long the resident committee of Fythians
thronged the station, arrayed in their uni
forms, prepared to welcome their comrades.
In the evening the scene was decidedly pic
turesque and entertaining. Many ladies who
expected friends on the numberless trains that
came in with remarkable rapidity and
promptitude, rode down on the cars to the
station hatless and in evening attire.
In the depot, however, they had rather a
tough time Of it. Every available seat was
taken and the ladies were pushed md jostled
in truly metropolitan style. The crowd was
so great at times that all that could be done
by the reception committee was to direct the
incoming Knights to various hotels. This
caused endless confusion. The strangers
