SMASH UPON THE CENTRAL.
Special Freight Strikes Switch Engine
Near Fond du Lac.

Fond du Lac, Wis Oct. 49, Special
A collision occurred on the Wisconsin
Central just north of the bridge crossing
of the Fond du Lac river at 4:4O p. m.
yesterday, and four freight cars were re-
duced to kindling wood. A special freight
from the north arrived at o'clock and
commenced switching. The regular
switch engine and crew had been south of
the town doing some work and were re-
turning when the collision occurred. The
''pusher7 was sending twelve cars down
the grade at fair speed. At point
200 feet from where the trains struck,
Trainmaster Turner of Waukesha,
who was: on top of one of the cars saw
the engine standing on the track in front
of them. Signals were given and after
setting the brakes Mr.. Turner jumped.
The ears struck the engine and the one
on which Mr.. Turner was standing, only
a moment before was completely
wrecked, and the lumber in it thrown Il
distance of fifty feet, flying in all direc-
tons. The front part of engine 24O was
demolished. Engineer Hanson reversed
the lever when the cars were noticed COM
ing down grade, but the air pipes failed
to work and the collision could not be
averted- Mr.. Hanson remained at lis
post Fireman Merton jumped when he
saw that it would be impossible to avoid
a collision. Four cars back of tie en-
CINE were thrown into the air and their
contents distributed in every direction
Five hours laser the cars were ditched
and burned.

BIG CONTRACT IS LET.
There will be 100000 Feet Of
Timber Cut for Weyerhauser
Syndicate.

Chippewa Falls, Wis, Oct. 15.-[Spe-
cial.]-The last big logging contract in
Wisconsin has probably been let. Gore
& Stinson Of Chippewa Falls have Sc
cured it from the Weyerhauser syndi-
cate. 1t is for 100000 feet lying trib-
utary to the Clam river, and it is esti-
mated that it will take twelve OK
fifteen years to complete the contract
Each seasons cut will be paid for when
the logs are delivered in the companys
boom in the Mississippi. The fortunate
contractors have already commenced
work, 100 men having been sent up
three or four days ago to begin the cut
ting. About 100000 a year will be
cut and if the contractors have good luck
they will clear at least $1OO,0OO on their
contract.
This is the largest single logging con-
tract that has ever been let in Wisconsin,
and its completion will probably mark
the last Of the pines in this state. 1t
was not secured without great deal Of
shreWdneSS and ingenuity ON the part Of
Messrs. Gore and Stinson, and, although
neither of the gentlemen will talk of it,
the adroit manner in which they brought
conditions to bear on the owners Of the
pine seems to be we'll known among the
logging fraternity in Chippewa Falls.
Contractor Jack Bel put in and owned
all the dams and improvements OH the
Clam, including the north and south forks
and these dams were the key to the situa-
ton. The 15O,0OO,OO0 feet of pine is trib-
utary to the Clam. That stream empties-
into the st. Croix and the pine will thus
be driven into the Mississippi and manu-
featured at the Weyehauser mills located
IN many of the cities on it's banks
Messrs. Gore and Stinson knew that
the ownership Of the dams would be Il
strong point in their favor in securing,
the te; contract and they Immediately got
When it was practically settled that they
were to secure the contract they pre-
sented the situation to the company and
Immediately closed a contract at a fair
figure.
1t was a coup of which the owners Of
the contract may well be proud, as it has
caused a greater sensation in logging cir
cles than anything that has transpired in
this section of the state in a number Cf
years.

BIG FEE DEMANDED.
Another Hitch in the Passage OF
an Electric Line Through
kenOSha.

Kenosha, Wis, Oct. 1S.-[Special. j
If the Milwaukee. Racine & Kenosha
Electric Street railway wants to so
through Kenosha it will have to pay into
the city treasury the sum of $4,000 for
a franchise and right-of-way. Such is
the decision of the common council which
is put into effect tonight. The commit
tee having the franchise ordinance in
hand has amended it so that no one who
ever saw it before would know that it
was the same document, and by these
amendments it is believed that the road
is effectually barred out of kenosha.
The committee which reports to the
council tonight finds that the road is
not street railway within the mean
ing of the term, but is in fact regular
railway, and therefore any provision IN
city ordinance forbidding it to carry
freight or express would be entirely in
opera tive as against the charter and
rights given the company by the state.
The demand for payment for the fran
chise is based upon this decision, which
would be the same as any to which any
regular railway company desiring to come
trough here would be subject. In adj
ion to the payment to the city, of
urse, the company would have to set
with each individual past whose prop
rty the road was to be laid.
This provision alone, it is believed,
would have the effect of preventing the
roads going through. but there are sew
eral other changes in the ordinance to
which the company objects almost as
strongly. 1t is provided that the road
must pave all streets when so ordered be-
tween its tracks and two feet each side,
or reimburse the property owners on
streets already paved. Iron posts and
girder rails must be used and the rails
kept on level with the streets; and a
complete system of copper wire must be
stretched underground for the return of
the electric current to prevent electrolysls
to the water, gas and drain pipes. The
indemnity bond is raised from $1,000 to
$50. 600, and the company must repair
and rebuild all BRIDGES it crosses. There
were a number of Minor changes. These
changes proposed have awakened the citi-
zens on the question. and they are now
the talk of the town. AS yet it is i'm
possible to give clear idea of how the
citizens lean since the division of opinion
on it is not very pronounced. 1t is clear,
however, that the greater part of the
citizens desire the road to go through, but
whether they favor all the restrictions
placed upon twill not be definitely known
until the council takes decisive action on
the matter.

LOST HIS OWN CASE.
Plaintiff in Damage Case at Madi-
son UnknOWingly Gives His
Attorney Away.

Madison, Wis, Oct 6.-[Special. i
William M. Davis of Richland Center
who sued the Chicago, Milwaukee & ST
Paul Railway company for damages for
personal injuries, in an accident which
happened in Iowa about five years ago
and once obtained verdict for about
$4,000, has not only lost his suit, but in
accordance with a judgment just entered
in the circuit court for this county is
required to pay the costs in the case,
amounting to the sum of $2373.
Mr.. Davis lost his suit in a peculiar
manner. 1t is one of the few cases of
champetry on record in the Wisconsin
courts, and the dismissal for champetry
IN this case did not como until the case
had been tried on its merits, verdict
given for the plaintiff, and an appeal
taken to the Supreme court. which re-
yersed the decision and sent the case
back for a new trial. 1t was on this
trial that the fact of champetry came
out inadvertently through the testimony
of Mr.. Davis himself. Champetry, it
may be explained for the benefit of the
attorney has an interest in the suit, and
IN this case at least that he has gambled
on the outcome to the extent of going
down IN his pocket to pay part of the
costs, the agreement being that he was
to pay half the expense and in the event
OF securing favorable verdict was to
receive half the amount of the judgment.
The accident which formed the basis
OF the suit happened near Coon Rapids,
Ia, four or five years ago. A passenger
train from Council Bluffs east struck an
obstruction at a bridge, and the entire
train. with the exception of one or two
cars, went down a forty-foot embank-
ment. -Four or five passengers were killed
and more injured, the only wonder being
that all were not killed. Mr. Davis was
among the injured. The obstruction,
railway tie, had been placed on the track
by gang of Italian workingmen who
had been discharged by the company,
and who, incensed by the delay in get
ting their pay, took this method of get
ting revenge.
Mr.. Davis sued the company for dam
ages for his injuries, and brought the
case to Dane county on change of
venue. On the first triel here he got a
judgment for about $4,000, but. as stated,
this was reversed by the Supreme court
and the case sent back for a new trial
Davis attorney was p II. Fay, but on
the second trial the papers were served
by w. S. McCorkle. The attorneys re-
fused to recognize service by him, as he
was not the attorney of record in the
ton of attorneys was made in court. 1t
was while this motion was being deter
mined that Mr.. Davis testified as to the
agreement he had made with Mr.. Fay.
The court stopped the case right there,
dismissed the motion for the substitution
OF attorneys, and on motion of the de-
tense, made subsequently, dismissed the
case on the ground of champetry, judg-
ment for costs going against the plaintiff.

months. Gerrish says that there will be
a season of activity in mining there this
winter and he estimates that in the sum-
mer of 1898 there will be from $15.0O0,-
900 to $50, 100000 ready for shipment.
