a BRAVE ENGINEER.
Stops a Train While the Driv.
ing Rod Was Pounding
Into the Cab.

New York, June g5.-Tbe
train on the Central Railroad
of New Jersey, which is known
as the Newark Special" be-
tween Newark and Poin, Pleas
ant, met With an accident be-
tween Hazlet aud Middletown.
But for the nerve and conr-
age of Engineer William r.
Bennett there would have been
loss of life aud serious injuries.
The train consisted Of three
passenger coaches and a COM
bination baggage and smoking
car. On the trip to Newark it
left Red Bank on time, and
was travelling about a mile a
minute, when the driving rod
on the right side OF the engine
broke and flying up struck the
top of the cab over the window
where Engineer Bennett sat.
He was knocked from his seat
and the broken rod smashed
the cab into splinters. He was
badly bruised and bleeding
from a dozen wounds, but be
managed to evade the pound
ing rod, crawl out over the
boiler and signal "down
brakes" He attempted to
work the aiy brakes but found
the air pup which operates
them had een smashed by the
flying rod. His fireman, George
w. Roland, was helplsssly pin
ned In on his side of the cab
by the timbers which had been
crushed in upon him. After a
run of a mile under these cons
ditions in a minute the train
came to a standstill. The fire.
man was found to be unhurt
and Benefits injuries, while
severe and painful, were found
to be not erions. Congratu-
iations were SRowefed upon the
engineer by the Messengers aud
a COMMITTEES OF Wealthy bus
mess H1en was formed for the
purpose of preparing a more
substantial recognition of his
bravery.

It was at this. time that jim
Fisk, then perhaps the boldest
and most successful plunger in
the Street, and the partner of
Jay Gould in the Erie Railroad
enterprise, made the acquaint-
ance of Stokes and admitted
him to his friendship. The two
men soon became intimate and
were much together after BUSH
ness hours. Stokes was a
strikiDgly handsome man and
he and Fisk made a notable
team in certain quarters Of the
city. Fisk put chances in the
way of his friend, and Stokes;
quick to grasp an opportunity,
soon found the royal road to
fortune. He accepted all favors,
was discreet; had the reputation
of being ga good fellow" and
rapidly developed as a finan-
cier.
Fisk prided himself on his
keen insight into human nature.
"Stokes is a nice fellow" he
would say, ga capital fellow,
but I would not trust him
further than thatr'
The "that" was a snap Of the
fingers.
The friendship between the
two men grew until, suddenly,
the ties which bound them were
snapped by a woman's hand.
Josie Mansfield; a courtesar,
young and beautiful, drifted to
the metropolis from an interior
city and with one glance of her
eyes won Jim Fisk. He INSTALL
ed her in q handsome residence
on West Twenty-third street
and there she held receptions
that dazzled that part of the
city.
Ed Stokes was a guest at one
Of these receptions and the
hostess looked upon him with
extraordinary favor. Someone
told Fisk of the progress Stokes
had made in Josis Mansfield's
affections, aud instantly the
ties which bound the friends
were broken.
Fisk deserted the woman and
started in to ruin Stokes in
Wall street. He was doing it
rapidly and Yemorselessly,

ELSEWHERE WILL be found calls for
the Republican Caucuses for the city,
and the first and second wards. There
is we'll defined feeling that it is better
to nominate two tickets in party eau
Gus, and then some degree of RESPONSE
bility will attach to the successful party
for the character of the administration.
The argument against it in the past,
which has led to the double barreled
caucuses, is that in city affairs it was
not wise to arouse party prejudice and
invoke party feeling; but, as matter
of fact, there always have been two
tickets and bitterer feeling engen-
dered in a personal fight at the polls
than there would have been had the
tickets emanated from party caucuses.
It lays the burden upon the parties to
nominate good men for Office, while ii
does not bind down to strict party
lines as in a national or congressional
campaign. The HERALD firmly believes
that better local government will re-
suit.

A Grand Forks paper says:
The Great Northern coast train was
wrecked on Saturday morning at NAL
Tory Mimi, seven miles east of Grand
Forks. The train was pulled by two
engines and struck a heavy drift,
throwing both engines off. The head
one went to one side and turned
around, Engineer Gowenlock and
Fireman Lamb were found in'the en-
CINE cab and under the tender. Lamb
was crushed to death and Gowenlock
received injuries that will be fatal, the
physicians sent out from here giving
him up. Both men live at GAINESVILLE
and were taken home on special. The
train was brought here. The coaches
remained on the track and the passen-
gers were uninjured. The engineer and
fireman on the second engine escaped
injury.

Swift death came to Walter jerks,

Swift death came to Walter jerks, a
Great Northern engineer who resides
with his father in Grand Forks, says
the Fergus Falls Journal of Thursday
evening. MIR. jerks had charge of an
engine attached to snow pillow that
was running ahead of a freight train
on the Breckenridge division. At VOL
colt the engine had two hot boxes and
Engineer jerks climbed under the en-
CINE to pack them. While he was thus
engaged, the following train crashed
into the rear of the snow pillow train,
and Mr.. jerks was literally ground to
pieces under his own engine. The
train men took charge of the remains,
and they were taken to Breckenridge,
for burial. ....

THE LEGISLATURE has turned down
the findings of it's commission charged
with locating the fourth asylum for the
insane. Anoka was, very wisely, Sc
lected as being the most economical To-
cation considered, distributing these
hospitals most conveniently, and site
of 600 acres was purchased, the state
paying $4,000 and the citizens con-
tributing $1,000 more. But this selec-
ton did not please st. Paul. Anoka
is nearer Minneapolis than it is to the
capital city. The Legislature was APP
pealed to and it reversed the decision
of the commission. Alvah Eastman OF
ST. Cloud, was a member of the COM
mission, and with that vigorous sound
sense for which he is conspicuous, IA
vored Anoka. Donnelly' S home is but
a few miles from Hastings, and very
naturally he preferred that place. Not
content, however, with advocating his
choice and denouncing Anoka, hemade
a vicious personal attack upon East
man. Mr.. Eastman needs no defender
nor apologist for either his official or
personal acts. He is abundantly able
to defend himself, and his character is
above reach of Mr.. Dennelly's barbed
and poisoned shafts. Why Senator
Keller and all the representatives from
this district voted for the Hastings site
is only explicable in the light OF Mr..
Kraker's admission: ''Donnelly fooled
