A ST. LOUIS WRECK.
East Bound Passenger Train
Wrecked Last Friday.

The east-bound passenger train run
ming on the st. Louis tracks from
Watertown to st. Paul, and due at
Redwood at 1l:45 in the morning,
was wrecked about two miles west of
Echo, at $40 p. M, last Friday. The
engineer was slightly bruised, the
fireman had his nose broken, was in
jured otherwise, but not fatally.
The train was coming down the line
at speed OF about As miles an hour.
The engine had the customary plow
on and was getting through the snow
in fairly good condition, although it
was delayed more than three hours.
At the place of the wreck there was a
drift about four feet high and very
solid covering the north side of the
track. There was no snow on the rail
on the south side. When the engine
struck the drift it was thrown side
ways from the track, the tender ran
into the engine and all of the cars,
two baggage cars and a passenger
coach, went off the track, the rails
under all of them spreading at the
same time.
The passengers we're thrown more
or less, but were not injured. Con-
ductor Hand was occupying a seat
with Joseph Tyson Of this city, who
was returning from Wood Like. Mr..
Tyson remarked that the train was
surely stuck in drift.
"Stuck, hi, she's off the track
that's what the matter with her." re-
marked Conductor Hand, ducking at
the same time, as though there was
something coming down from above.
The train was at dead standstill by
this time and the conductor immedi-
atel y went out to see what was the
matter. He was followed by the other
passengers. They found that the en-
gine was complete wreck, only the
boiler remaining of any account. En-
gineer Mase was out of the cab and
was slightly bruised. Fireman Knute
Vein was wedged in between the en-
gine and the tool box attached to the
tender. The passengers and employ
ees Of the road engaged themselves at
once to liberate the fireman but it took
them forty minutes to do this, and in
the meantime the fireman, aside from
having his nose broken in the accident,
and otherwise bruised, had one hand
partly frozen. Mr.. Tyson bathed the
ha I'd in snow and saved it from ampu-
tation. Word was Immediately sent
to the train despatcher's Office and the
authorities ordered a pillow with DR.
Penhall on board to leave Morton for
the scene of the wreck. The regular
west bound passenger train went as
far as the wreck, transferred passeng
ers and returned, passing through
here about ten o'clock at night.
A wrecking crew was at work at the
scene of the accident until Monday af.
ternoon, when. after repairing the
track, and loading the debris, includ-
ing the demolished engine, the crew
returned to Minneapolis, passing
through here about six o'clock Mon
day evening.

The Bearing Of Arms.

Gen. IieSer. judge advocate stn- raj CT the
army, has decided. and his opinion has
been approved by Acting Secretary Meikle-
john. that an officer or soldier of the army
might wear his arms from one state into
another and was rot subject to the police
regulations of states as to the carrying
of arms. The case arose on a request from
General Otis, commanding the Department
of Colorado. in which he asked the War
Department If soldiers could carry their
arms iE going to target practice, which
required crossing the state line. The opin-
ion of Ger eral Lseber is that any soldier
under orders Is an instrumentality of the
government of the United States and may
carry the arms ard equipment which the
army regulations require.

DEVICES OF THE INGENIOUS.
Some Recent Applications for Pat
cntS.


ents.
Among the curious articles that have late
ly been patented is a device which will re-
iieve persons from the necessity of making
notes on the cuffs of their sleeves. 1t Is a
small tablet to be attached to the left cuff
convenient for making no.es. When a leaf
of the tablet has become filed it is easily
torn off and transferred to a pocket ieav-
ing new sheet for taking more notes If
this device becomes common throughout
the land its inventor believes tEera will no
longer be complaint the part of those
who have in the past been obliged to wash
Lead pencil notes from the cuffs of young
gentlemen.
Another clever device is cork frog, con-
structed so that when it is thrown ON tie
water by fishermen it will kick its legs
when fnny inhabitant of the waters
touches it. The ends of the legs are pro-
vided with hooks, and the ingenious in
Ventor thinks that if the cork frog aims
straight he will be able to kick the fish in
the gils and secure him as a prize for his
master on shore.
Still another device has been patented
which seems likely to increas. the death
rate among bicyclers if i, is put IN general
use. 1t is an attachment for ii bicycle add
ing third wheel to an ordinary bicycle
so that railroad track may be ridden on
and providing tires for all the wheels with
grooves to fit the rails. Ii this device is put
into operation bicycleTs need not visit 4
ticket agent before leaving en- their sum-
mer tours but will only have to take out
accident policies, get started on the rails
and look out for the locomotive.

Come From the First Artillery.

Capt. Gilbert B. Cotton of Battery III, 1st
Artillery, has been retired by the War De-
partment at his own request, having served
thirty years in addition to four years at
the Military Academy. Capt. Cotton went
to West Point from Ohio in 1863, gradual
ing in 1867. He was assigned as licuten-
ant in the 1st Artillery. He rose to cap
taincy in 1889. He graduated from the
Artillery School in 1873.
A rather singular thing Is that all Of the

OUT OF THE HURLH-HIRLY
mIs,unicntfOn Made With Pitcairn
ISland Only at Rnrc Intervals

ohhy hA1EC intervals.
One of the rarest occurrences of which
the State Department has opportunity to
take cognizance in common with the rest
of the world Is the dispatch of a mail to
Pitcairn Island, the isolated community in
the South Pacific which depends upon the
casual visit of some sailing vessel for its
exceedingly infrequent communications
with the rest OF the globe. Sometimes this
happens once year. but there is no reg
uiarity about it. The last news of the is
lands came six months ago, when an off,
ciai of New South Wales formally annex
ed the diminutve territory to the British
crown. Recently the State Department has
been informed that any letters addressed
TO The islands will be forwarded, if they
reach her British majestys consul at Hon.
olula not later than September 70. 1t is
probable that another mail may not leave
for Pit tcairn Island in a year, and there
is possibility that there viii not be
mail for two or three years.

RELIEVING HIS CONSCIENCE,
Contribution From {, Man Who Ere,
fM Making His Income Return.

The Treasury Department today received
an unusual contribution to the conscience
fund. These contributions are nearly al
ways sent anonymously, but in this in
stance the contributor does not shield his
name. He lives in the interior of New
York and forwards a draft for $39 signing
his name to both it and the letter which
he writes. He says that in 1864 he made
an error in his income tax return, which
lost the government the amount he sends.
He desires to be just to the government,
as well as to mankind. The matter has
troubled his conscience and he wants re-
lief.
Communications of this kind are kept
confidential at the Treasury Department,
and that is why the mans name is not
given out. Secretary Gage has no objec-
ton to consciences working in favor of
the government, but he wishes to say that
the names of senders of funds will not be
revealed.
