Passengers on IL St. Paul & Duluth

Passengers on IL st. Paul & Duluth
Train Have Narrow Escape.
DULUTH, Mimi, Oct. 30.-A terrible
accident was averted by clear luck and
the presence of mind of an engineer
this morning on the st. Paul & Duluth
road. The train was moving onto the
bridge betweetn West Duluth and
West Superior. and binding storm
was on. Suddenly the trestle sagged
under the engine and it dropped sew
eral feet. The train was going at
pretty good speed and the engine
passed over the sagging part but
jumped the track and ran along on
the ties. The engineer was thrown
from his seat. but jumped up and
quickly applied the air brake and
closed the throttle. All the cars of the
train passed over the sag in safety
except the Minneapolis sleeper and
1t turned over on its side at the en-
bankment, just before the trestle was
reached by the rear end of the train.
Nobody was hurt, but there was
badly frightened lot OF passengers.

Duluth Grain.

DULUTH, Minn., Oct. 30.-The estimated
increase of stocks for the week IL zoo, 900 bu,
provided $4,000 bu is loaded out today and
tomorrow, as has been expected. 1t is more
than probable that the terrific storm on Lake
Superior will prevent this. The market is
about 1c out OF line for shipment to New
York, and all grain now going out is on old
sales or is going to Buffalo to be stored All
charters made in the last ten days provide for
boats to be in Duluth harbor by tomorrow,
SO that the wheat may be loaded before cleo
tion day. The Duluth market was strong
again today, as compared with the Eastern

FINANCIAL REVIEW.
Money Conditions Have Dominated
in the Stock Market

In the STOCK market.
NEW YORK, Oct O.-Bradstreet's
review Of the stock market will say:
The condition Of the money market
has been a dominating factor in stock
speculation this week. It cannot be
said that Wall street entertains doubts
as to the defeat of the free silver cause
next Tuesday, nevertheless the large
interests in the street have taken a
conservative attitude, and are unwill-
ing to encourage any extended bull
speculation on the eve of an event with
such far-reaching consequences. The
banking community is imbued with the
same idea, though at the close of the
week the fear of decided disturbance
brought about concerted action by the
banks, and supplies of money from
this source, though only put out at top
rates, relieved the fears of the market
and caused prices to rally. The foreign
markets have shown nervousness over
the outlook here. The money markets
abroad are firm, and the bank of Eng
land, while it did not advance it's rate
has shown disposition to keep the
ope market firm.

into two ella sses- one. those that have been
rejected by the Pension Office under a too
strict construction OF the laws; the other,
those that have never passed through the
Pension Bureau crucible. 1t is TO be as
sumed that the cases ultimately allowed
by the bureau, after having been subjected
to delays, not of mouths, but of years,

1t has been the spirit of all pension legls-
latlon that the veterans or their depend

1.-The only expression OF the President IN
this case given to the public was his in
dorsement on 1 the application for retirement,
in which he regretted that the long and
honorable career OF tins officer should, at
its close, be tarnisbed by conduct at yari-
ance With commeDdable career and In
consistent with the example which an Of
ficer of Ills high rank should Furnish for
subordination iand submission to the re-
siraInts Of wholesome discipline and mani
fest propriety.
This Expression OF the President has
been criticised by a great many people. as
as IL was not considered within the province
OF the ChienExccutiye to make such AN IN
dorsement where an officer had not been
under tpal by court-martial. But SIR.
Cleveland went even further by writing
letter to Admiral Meade, the contents OF
which are said to be much stronger and
more forcible in language. Attempts TO
ascertai in tue contents OF the communica-
ton have. proved OF no avail There are
few Officials of high rank who know of IL.
and it is safe to assert that Admiral
Meade Will neyer divuge it.
