THEY ARE GLAD OF 1T.
Young People Commemorate an Inn
pOrtant EVeHv.

The Young Peoples Society of Portland Az
enue Church of Christ last evening performed
a unique exercise at the home of Rev. Carey
E. Morgan, 2000 Portland avenue. The oc-
cas;on marked by the society at this
time having in its possession note for $500
given Feb. Is, 1895, for which the pipe organ
of the church had been purchased The note
had during the last two years been gradually
paid off in installments, but during the last
couple of months had been allowed to lapse.
As the concern from which the organ had
been bought and which also held the note,
recently assigned, strenuous efforts were
made but a short time ago to raise the re-
mainder of the mortgage. The sum of SIS
was realized by the young people, and the
organ cleared of its debt.
The exercises at the home of the pastor
were in cOmmemoration of this event. After
a short address by Walter H. Brown, pres
ident Of the society, and reSpnnse by Rev.
Carey +. Morgan, the later I'd the note,
which in it's time had been a heavy burden
and applied d lighted match to the now
worthless object The ashes of the note were
subsequently consigned to small bottle and
will be carefully kept. Following the Gre
matio short addresses were delivered by w.
w. GeTmaine, on behalf of the first choir of
the church, and A. T. Ankenny, who spoke
In behalf Of the trustees.
The remainder of the evening spent In
the playing of games and In the enjoyment
of music. dainty lunch also served.
One of the pleasant features of the even
ing was the presentation Of the Young Peo-
pies society of a telephone to their pastor.
This feature was a perfect surprise to Mr..
Morgan, the house had been carefully
put IN its place last evening, while the pastor
had his attention otherwise engaged. In the
telephone directory Mr.. Morgan will be
known as South PSI.

BETTING In ST. PAUL.
Good Deal of 1t, But in Small
AmOunfa

Amounts.
The sporting fraternity of st. Paul Is In
very discontinued frame of mind today 1t is
all owing to the fact that now that the great
pug1listic battle Of modern times is sure
tning, they have been caught without the
price OF a railroad ticket to Carson. Many
hoped and prayed that the railroads would
see Mt to at least make q rate of one fare
Tor the round trip, and in that event st. Paul
would have been most literally represented
at the ringside, but the difference of that
rev dollars makes whole lot of difference
nowadays, even among the sporting classes.
Of course 1t is an understood fact that the
sporting classes are not the only ones who
Will keep a close tab on Carson today. The
fight was the one topic of interest discussed
on the streets yesterday. Business men
talked fight. The school children talked
fight. And the most peculiar part of 1t all
is, under the circumstances, that nearly every
one is willing to back his judgment although
the amounts known to have been put up are,
with but few exceptions, small, ranging
from S. to SIS. Very few people had the
money to go to the ringside and do any bet
ting after they got there, and as no man with
an ounce of sporting blood in his veins would
care to witness such contest unless 1t meant
something to him one way or the other the
above stated result was inevitable. Possibly
the only man in st. Paul who has any large
amount OF money at stake on the outcome of
the fight is Eddie Murphy. He had a COM
mission to place some Corbett money, and
has made few bets Of 500 to $50 on the
Californian.

"JOe" Carney the Winner.

Joe" Carney, the crack pool player of the
Northwest, has gained added luster in the
line of billiard achievement performed
last evening at the Brunswick hotel when he
defeated Artie Hawkins, of Duluth, the Ives
of the Zenith City. The contest was a close
and exciting one and marked by very clever
work throughout. 1t arose by a casual re-
marke dropped by patron of the hotel Sun
day, resulting in stake of $25 being posted
for trial game between the two men. Car
ney, through his modest demeanor, had here
tofore disclaimed ability with the three ivor-
les, and last evenings work surprised his
friends. The contest was for 200 points, four
teen inch balk line, and the final figures stood
200 to 1885, J. Joseph acted as official referee
and A. F. Kirk as scorer. A large crowd
filled the parlors to witness the game.

4 TRAIN BLOWN UP
TWO HUNDRED AND FIFTY SPAN
ISH SOLDIERS KILLED OR
WOUNDED.
SIX CARS ON A BRIDGE.
HEAVY CHARGES OF DYNAMITE
UNDER THEM EXPLODED
BY ELECTRICITY.
Debris Flew Into the Air and Fell
Into a Deep Gorge, Crushing
the Victims.

NEW YORK, March ia Havana
special to the World says: Through
Cubans here it is learned that a train
carrying Spanish troops was blown up
by dynamite while passing over a deep
gorge south of Candelaria, Pinar del
Rio province, and that nearly $50 sol
diers were killed or injured. The loco
motive and six cars were demolished.
The tragedy occurred about the 10th.
The Spanish Gen. Atrial had learned of
projected insurgent attack, supposed
ly on San Cristobal, and he sent off 500
troops in armored cars to reinforce the
garrison there. About ten miles from
San Cristobal the road crosses a deep
gorge on very high bridge about 500
feet long.
The insurgents learning Of the depar-
lure OF the train, lined the bridge at
the bends and the center with heavy
charges of dynamite, connecting the
explosive by wires with a battery in
the woods some distance off. Three
hundred insurgents lay in ambush near
by. 1t is understood that the Min
brothers were in command and that
Capt. John Lynn, the young American
electrlcal engineer, who has made
himself famous in Cuba for his work
on the dynamite gun, contrived the
affair
The train approached the bridge
ABOUT o'clock in the morning. When
1ully on 1T, all three charges were ex-
ploded by the wires The engine and
cars flew into the air like so MANY
chips and fell into the deep gorge be-
low, crushing dead and injured alike
There the wreckage caught fire.
AS soon as the explosion occurred
the insurgents dashed from their am
buscade with wild cries and began a
massacre. But for the timely hosting
of white flag by Col. Mores, who was
in command of the Spanish forces,
every man would have been macheted.
AS it was. the Cubans secured 800
prisoners, including the officers. The
private soldiers, after being Invested
of most of their uniforms, were re-
leased and sent to San CriStObal. the
officers were retained as hostages for
rs insurgents who are held at Artemisa.
and threatened with death.
The Spaniards here admit the dyna-
hitting of the train, but claim that the
details are exaggerated

the southwestern part of Havana prov

Word comes from Santa Clara of
two fierce engagements on Thursday
and Friday, in which the Spaniards
lost heavily. Five battalions of troops
were sent there yesterday.

Reflections of a Bachelor.

A bachelor maid is a spinster who lives in
city instead Of a small town.
Some men are perfectly lovely" and oth-
ers are so much more so that you never think
of It.
A girl is bound to have a wedding of soma
sort; if she can't get man, she says she
is welded to her work.
The more woman talks about the equality
of the sexes the less she likes to admit that
she has to work for a living.
The main reason why short skirts will
never become popular with women is because
then they couldn't wear out their old Shoes

KNEW CORBETT AS A LAD.
Californian Has One Strong Adj
mirer In ST. Paul


James ]. Corbett has one most enthusiastic
admirer in this city in the person of Chief
Yardmaster Craig, Of the Northern Pacific
railway. Craig was the conductor Of pas
senger train running out OF San Francisco
during Corbett's youth and Jimmie" was
frequent passenger on his train. Mr.. Craig
says that as a rule, the boy used to ride in
the baggage car and INDUCED the train men
by engaging in friendly boxing bouts with
them while on the train. Even at that time
he was exceedingly scientific and qupi-t as
a cat on his feet, and try as they miga~the
trainmen found it an impossible task to get
by his guard and touch his head although
nearly every one Of them out weighed 1.-The
kid two to one. Mr.. Craig has been an in
terested spectator in watching Corbetts ca
reer as he mounted the ladder of fame in the
pugilfstic world, and one of the few
men who was confident enough that he would

In this city was approached yesterday for his
opinion the outcome Of the big fight at
Carson City today. His replies to the ques-
lions asked were not couched in the most
polite language of this age, but it was both

Corbett will prove the victor, If they ever get

did not try to make people believe that he was
a gentleman in disguise Of course, it is
well-known fact that Sullivan made a great
