SENATE IN A TANGLE.
Week VIII Be Spent I'm StraiGbten-
ing Out Committees.

WASHINGTON, March THE prob
abilities are that most Of the entire
attention of the senate will be given
during the present week to an effort
to get it's committees in working shape,
and that the senate will adjourn for two
or three days at a time without at
tempting any business Of consequence.
No legislation can be attempted with
the house not in session, but there are
two or three treaties that could be
considered. The arbitration treaty is
one Of these. 1t has been reported to
the senate, but it is understood that
Senator Davis. who is chairman Of the
committee on foreign relations,
does not feel free to pro-
coed with the treaty until the COM
mittee contains it's full membership.
Any nominations sent in by the presI-
dent WILL of course, be considered.

he had no motive like Scott Jackson in
getting Pearl Bryan out Of the way.
Every effort possible is being made to
have the sentence of WalHng commut-

orally believed he will hang with Jack

Fifty years ago today Joshua D.
Robertson, then a husky young farm
er. and Margaret Ann Larpenteur. tn.
belle of Baltimore county, Maryland,
were welded on the old Gettysburg
road some three miles out of Balti-
more. Today, surrounded by half a
dozen grown children, more grand
children and two great grandchildren.
the old couple, still hale and we'll, are
living on a well-appointed farm out
past Lake Como, and will this evening
duly celebrate the interesting event
The Robertsons have lived in this
county over forty-four years, the first
two of which were spent on a small
farm leased from D. J. A. Baker and
situated on the old ST. Anthony road,
the then thorcughfare between ST.
Paul and Minneapolis. In 1855 Mr.. Rob
ertson purchased his present holdings,
consisting of some 220 acres on Ham
line avenue, several blocks north of
the farthest arm of Como. The farm
is located for the most part on a COM
manding eminence, the slope of which
wears gradually away almost to the
lake, and it's fertile soil bears wheat,
oats, corn, hay, potatoes and other
produce in sufficient quantity to
bring the family comfortable income.
The spacious white farm house is a
typical New England affair, and last
night arrangements had already been
made for the celebration of the golden
wedding within it's hospitable walls.
The relatives will assemble in the big
dining room, which has been tasteful
ly decorated by miniature wheat
sheaves and ribbons. A generous sup
ply of apples and other fruits were
scattered about to be added to the
guests entertainment.

"the OLD folks will be tolerably likely

and portions of the coverings of box
cars damaged. The accident occurred
shortly after 9 O'Clock, completely
blocking the traffic of four roads using
the track. No one was injured, though
the crew received a shaking up.
The train was made up of thirty
eight cars, some empty and others
loaded with merchandise and lumber
1t was coming into the city over the
Northern Pacific east side track, which
is used by the Great Western, Kansas
City, 500 and Northern Pacific roads.
There is steep grade for half mile
beyond where the wreck occurred, and
while coming down the incline at quite
raDid speed the train became Separat-
ed near the middle by the breaking Of
a coupling pin. For some reason the
crew knew nothing of the accident, and
the train ran along IN two sections, the
first steadily drawing away from the
rear string of cars, though the latter
acquired greater momentum every mo-
ment of the run down the incline. Thus
in two sections the train sped along
until the rear cars were separated
from these attached to the engine by
several hundred feet. Between Sew
enth and Third streets trains using
this track are required to make
stop before entering the lower yards,
and when this point was reached the
first section came to standStlu
Scarcely had the brakes shut Oh the
wheels when there was a terrific crash,
and the second section ploughed its
way into the motionless train. A fiat
car loaded with lur.ber was crushed
as an egg shell and hurled from the
rails, while three box cars of the run
away section and two of the other part
of the train were completely telescop-
ed. So great was the force Of the col
lision that the first train was pushed
forward some yards despite the set
brakes.
At the point where the trains came
together the wreckage blocked the
track causing a temporary blockade
