its actual power. Deep thinkers do not
hesitate to assert that half the crime of
our country may be traced to this source.

it cannot begin to equal the power of

Freight Car Dem0lishes the
Stone Guard.
A Small Mix Up of Chicago &North-
western Cars Close to the
Freight Depot.

A smashup on small scale occurred
close to the Chicago & Northwestern
freight depot Friday night about ten
o'clock Two freight cars and a caboose
were standing on the track close to the
south platform of the depot. A freight
train was being switched near Spring
street, and broke in two. The eight
freight cars on the end went south at q
rapid rate, and the brakeman, who was
not aware:of the accident. undertook to
climb up one of the cars to set the
brakes. Before he had reached the top,
however, the section of the train
crashed into the caboose near the depot
sending the two freight cars that were
with it against the heavy stone guard
at the south end of the track with great
force.
The guasI. was demolished and the
first car went over the embankment
and was thrown crossways on its side,
with the trucks some distance away.
The next car went partly over but was
subsequently hauled back with the
trucks on the south end off of the track
The end of the car was damaged
The car that was precipitated over
the embankment was filed with a
various assortment Of merchandise for
the west. This was not much dam
aged and was transferred to another
car today by the aid of covered dray.
The roadmaster arrived this morning
to take charge of the wrecking oper-
atoms. No one was hurt in the &C
cldent.
The stone guards are very strong and
it takes good stiff humping to push
them out of the way. Nothing less
than the impact of number of cars
could do If

SUDDEN DEATH.
Mrs. Crosby Passed Away Mon

Stricken With Heart Disease, 4 Noble
and U.s. >.omee tn.

-dmunity was saddened Monday
Jrnoon by the announcement of the
sudden death of Mrs. Marietta Croabv
which occurred at her residence. No. 124
Liberty street, at two o'clock this after
noon. Mrs. Crosby had been enioviug
her usual good health up to within a
very short time. During the past few
days she had made some complaint, but
1t was not supposed that anything SER
lous was the matter. She attended
church both morning and evening
Sunday and retired as usual, At
3 oclock Monday morning she was taken
I'LL, and two hours later it was found
necessary to summon physician, and
Dr. l. ID. Webster responded immediate
iy to the summons. The physician
found Mrs. Crosby suffering from heart
trouble and administered the usual
remedies.
Despite the constant and earnest
efforts of physician and attendants.
Mrs. Crosby continued to fail, and at
two o'clock Monday she breathed
her last. She was conscious almost to
the last moment. but passed from life
as easily and as peacefully as though
sinking into slumber Indeed, those
with her could hardly mark the division
line that separated life and death.
Mrs. Crosby was sixty-nine
years of age last Feb. 18th.
She came to Mankato from Rock
ford, Ill, during the early days.
Her husband, Peter b. Crosby, died
twenty-three years ago, and Mrs. Crosby
leaves no children. A sister, Mrs. Jane
Todd. of Des Moines, Iowa, and her
daughter, Mrs. Deemer, of the same
place, are her only near relatives and
these have been notified of her death.
and upon their arrival arrangements
for the funeral will be made.
The deceased probably enjoyed as
large an acquaintance as any LADY in
the city. She was an active and helm
ful member of the M E. church. and
was one of the organizers of the Ladie
Relief Society, of which she was at one
time president and was treasurer at the
time of her death. She was ever active
in behalf of the poor and distressed
and tears of sorrow will fall upon many
hearthstOnes tonight that have been
frightened in the past through her
ministrations.
In the death of Mrs. Crosby, the city
loses one of its best citizens and society
one of its most useful members. fire.
wards in the future life are melted out
according to good works in this life,
the deceased will enter very fully into
the JOY of her Master, whose example
she followed by trying to relieve the
suffering of this world. There are few
whose leave taking is followed by such
genuine sorrow as is universally felt
over the death of this good woman.
Her presence brought comfort to the
unfortunate, her companionship was
enjoyed by all her acquaintance, and
the example of her life was elevating.
Pure and noble aspirations were the
mainsprings of her actions.
