STRUCK BY A BRIDGE.
Guy Rfsdon Painfully Injured While
Boarding a Train.

Shortly after midnight Guy Risdon
step-son of ex-Detective John Enright
was noticed wandering about at the
corner of Seventh and Wabasha.
streets. A friend of the young man
noticed that Risdon's face was covered
with blood and calling a hack had the
young man taken to his residence. AIS
Rice street. DR.. Bole was summoned
and upon examination 1t was found
that Risdon had a number of cuts on
his head and that his left shoulder
was dfslocated. Risdon was in a dazed
condition and 1t was some time before
he could give a connected account of
how he received his injuries.
Risdon, it appears, intended to go to
Duluth, and, in order to save railroad
fare, attempted to board the 11:15 train
on the Duluth road at the Third street
crossing. He managed to grasp the
railing Of one Of the cars, but in at
tempting to swing on the steps. was
struck by one of the supports Of the
bridge and hurled to the ground. Some
time afterward he partly regained con-
seriousness and managed to walk to
Seventh and Wabasha streets. where
he was found by his friends Risdon

REED AT BOSTON.
Big Ovation for the Speaker of the
House.

House.
BOSTON, Mass, Oct. Am ovation
which has never been surpassed in en-
thusiasm was that which awaited Hon.
Thomas B. Reed, Hon. Roger Wolcott
and Senator Henry Cabot Lodge in
Music hall tonight at the ratification
of the national and state tickets by
the Massachusetts Republicans In
the course of Senator Lodges speech
he attacked the Democratic managers
in New York for issuing a parody on
the Lords Prayer for campaign pur-
poses, and said that no campaign car
ried on those lines could be successful.
Hon. Thomas B. Reed was the last
speaker. His reception has never been
surpassed in this state
After gratefully acknowledging the an
plause which greeted him, Mr.. Reed said, in
part:
We do not need to talk of protection. for
this country, by their elections, each more
decisive than the other, has practically de-
termined that question. But the main ques-
ton now before us is the silver question
1t has come upon us like the greenback agi-
tation in 1878. 1t has the same causes, and.
in my judgment, win have the same fate
With the rising tide of business in 1879,
which followed specie resumption, greenback-
ism disappeared from the face of the earth,
perhaps, never again to appear In like man
ner, when this election is over and business
reviyes, this Question of free coinage of sill
alone, will disappear from public and private
discussion. Nor is the question today half
as difficult as the question of 1878. 1t is GER
tainly not bimetallism. That means the use
Of both metals and not of one. 1t means the
use of both metals by all Of the civilized
world at least. At this bimetallism Mr.. Bryan
sneers He says that it is establishing a
system in America with the consent of
Europe as If we were vassals." Had he said
Agreement" as dees the Republican plat
form he would have recognized both the in
dividuality of other nations and their equal
ity. Bimetallisrp then Is not the issue. I put
aside all this talk about the rise Of the value
of silver under free coinage to meet the
value OF gold, land call the harmony would
come of the marriage.
1t seems then, very clear, IL we are to
credit history and experience. that, IL we
coin silver at 16 to /. we would certainly go
to silver standard. and that standard will be
below our present one. Suppose we admit
that the increased use Of silver will raise its
price; even then no man in hts senses would
think that it would bridge the chasm. Mr..
Bryan was nominated In July. In the month
Of August the Pennsylvania railroad. which
is fair index OF the business Of the whole
country lost more than one million and a
quarter of dollars. That means much to a
thinking man. If the shadow has done this,
what will the substance do? When all this
has happened where are WEI What are We
doing it all for! Simply and solely to get

LONDON, May 6.-Colonel North,
while presiding at meeting at the
nitrate company's office, in the Wool
pack building, tainted in his chair and
expired at A o'clock.
The death of Colonel North has
caused great excitement in financial
circles, and it also created a sensation
when it was announced in the lobby of
the house of commons.
Colonel j. T. North, 1.-THE Nitrate
King" was born in Leeds, and owes
his sombriquet. to the fact that he ac-
quired fabulous wealth by speculations
in nitrate mines in South America. He
has given away much in benefactions
to the church, to schools and to char
ity. He built himself a magnificent
palace in Ethan, Kent, and his sport
ing events have had an international
reputation.
