GENERAL HARRISON RETURNS.
His Work Before the -eme Court
COmpleted-A Pies Trip.

General Harrison returned to his home
last night on the Pennsylvania train that
reaches the city at 1O:15. He walked with a
brisk stride through the station, and did not
appear TO be much faitgued by his long jour-
ney of more than twenty-four hours dura-
ton. He was met at the entrance to the
station and asked as to his trip.

THE KNICKERBOCKER DERAILED.


The Knickerbocker express which left the
Union Station at $40 Friday night was
wrecked at the Big Four and Belt crossing.
The engine and tender left the track, and.
after blowing through the mud for twenty
five feet, turned over. Engineer Nagle and
Thomas Francis, his fireman, jumped from
the cab and escaped without injury. Two
of the coaches were badly shaken up, but
none of the passengers were injured. The
train was delayed about an hour. Another
engine was secured and the train went on
to Cincinnati The interlocking switch sys-
tenn is used at the crossing. The signals
showed Nagle was entitled to the right OF
way and he started for the crossing. The
operator made a mistake and Nagle's train
took the blind switch. Railroad men say
this accident shows the value OF the inter-
locking switch. The operator cannot give
two trains from opposite directions the
right of way over the same crossing with
out throwing one of them or the track.
This makes a crossing collision impossible.

BALTIMORE. Jan. 25.-The Baltimore &

Cowen president of the road, to succeed

United States. Mr.. Burns having announced
his intention to retire from the board at its

most likely to be read are unpublished ones,
unsold, and, possibly, unstable, which
threaten to perish with their beauties unre-
vealed. All too many of them are likely TO
be long poems for, OF course, the market
ableness OF every poem is in inverse pro-
portion TO it's length. The sort of convention
which would seem most likely TO give poets
comfort and satisfaction should be one
where only a limited number of poets would
be let in, and where the bulk OF the at
tendance should be made up of hardy lis
tenerS.
But perhaps the Milwaukee Ethical So
ciety will be able TO limit the discharge of
verse and turn the energies of the conven-
ton toward discussion. If that can be done,
all may go well. There is much to discuss
the new laureate, Verlaine, the place of
Eugene Field in American literature, Mich-
gan and Indiana as rival producers of verse,
the decay of poetry in New England, and a
score of other timely tonics. One could wish
that Eugene Field could have lived to at
tend this Milwaukee convention and to re-
