MIR. AND MRS. J. ID. ROBERTSON
WILL CELEBRATE THEIR GOLD
EN- WEDDING TODAY.
MARRIED BACK IN MARYLAND.

LIVED HERE FoRTY-FouR YEARS.

Fifty years ago today Joshua D.

er, and Margaret Ann LaTpenteur, the
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 well, 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 900 acres on Ham
line avenue, several blocks north of
the farthest arm of Como. The farm
is located fer the most part on a COM
handing eminence, the slope of which
wears gradually away almost to the
lake, and its fertile soil bears wheat,
oats, corn, hay, potatoes and other
produce in sufficient quantity to
bring the family a comfortable income.
The spacious white farm house is
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.
Mr.. Robertson's son, August, who has
made quite a local reputation for him
self as violinist, will fiddle" for the
dancers, and although the host and
hostess are both past three score years
ard ten, they have promised them
selves the pleasure of at least one
square dance The fun will commence
at 7. and as Mr.. Robertson put it last
night, in speaking of the coming event,
"the old folks will be toleTably likely
to want to go to bed, but the young
folks'll stay UP later.
Mr.. Robertson is 70 and, although
his head and beard are snowy white,
he is still erect, and his eye is clear.
His wife, several years his junior, at
tends to the household duties now as
she has for the past fortyfour years.

wheel trucks, and axeis, brake beams
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 a steep grade for half a mile
beyond where the wreck occurred, and
While coming down the incline at quite
rapid 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 those 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 on the
wheels when there was terrific CRASH,
and the second section ploughed its
way into the motionless train. A fiat
car loaded with luraber 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
of large proportions. "a che four roads
USING the line were each sending out
h ,a,y night freiehts. When the cen
;isiun had been in q measure adjusted
work was at once begun on clearing
away the wreckage and in the course
Of. several hours the track was clear.
though the derailed cars still gave evil
dence Of the collision.

items of this law, passed at the last

injury to the consumer. A committee

offenders. This being the annual meet

MAY DENY LIABILITY.
Railroads Not Likely to Pay for Re-
pairing Bridges.

The council! has passed resolutions
approving the plans and specifications
prepared by the city engineer for the
repairing Of the Jackson street and
Westminster street bridges over the
Great Northern and Omaha railroad
tracks. Other resolutions have also
passed directing the corporation attor-
Hey to take legal steps to compel the
railroad companies to do the work in
case of a refusal.
NJ. D. Grover, of the Great Northern
legal department, seen yesterday re-
garding the matter. said that no notice
of the action had been served upon the
road, ard therefore he was not posted
on the details; but he did say that the
read would in all probability urge that
the conditions of the contracts for both
the Westminster and Jackson street
bridges had been fulfilled, and would
deny any liability in the premises.
Then, if the city brought any action,
the matter might be gone into more
thoroughly. 1t is understood that there
are several pretty legal points involved
in the case, but Mr.. Grover felt disin-
clined at this time to talk of them at
any length.

the trouble into which Lieut.. Babe got
himself in the LOTUS Kane arrest. In
place of the alleged abuse Of authority

having been forced to the decision by
the general protest Of indignant citf-
Zers.
Chief Goss missed the mayor at the
city hall, however, and Mayor Doran
failed to find the chief at the central
station. but the chief executive has
come to the conclusion that he cannot
avoid some action relative to Lieut..
Babes blunder, and will attempt to
conciliate those preferring the charges
against the officer by subjecting him
to a reprimand, and instructing him to
be more judicious in the future. Incl
dentally Mayor Doran will issue strict
orders to the entire police force to be
mere careful in making arrests, and
restricting the use of clubs except in
the direSt necessity.

BENT ON ROBBERY.
Determined Thief Driven Away
From Joseph Mason's House.


A bold thief attempted to rob the
house of Joseph Mason, 2S3 Charles
street, shortly after o'clock yesterday
afternoon, in the presence of the hired
girl. The man evidently at first only
intended asking aims, as he rang the
door bell, and when the girl came
asked for 10 cents. The domestic in
formed the stranger that she had no
money, when he asked for Mrs. Mason.
On being told that no one was at home
except the girl the fellow seized the
young woman by the shoulder and
forced his way into the hall. He de-
manded to be told where he could find
any money which might be about the
house and entered the parlor, where he
took pair of cuffs belonging to Mr.
Mason and put them in his pocket. In
the meantime the domestic summoned
a Weodsawyer at work in the yard, and
when the intruder saw him hu1rying
around the house, he took to flight.
He was pursued by the woodsawyer
who was Joined by Officer Meyer in the
chase, but the thief eluded his pur-
suers and made his escape.
