the Northwestern train back uponthe
Omaha train like rubber ball. The
rear end of the baggage car telescoped
the Omaha engine in a manner good
deal similar to the way that the caboose
had telescoped engine No. SO, and with
out injuring it any more than that en-
CINE was injured. The end of the bag
gage car was crushed into kindling
wood. None of the Omaha cars were in
jured. The passengers in both trains
were given a severe shaking up, but no
serious injury was suffered by anyone
so far as known.
The work of clearing the track began
as soon as possible and was carried on
throughout the night with admirable
system, under the direction of Assist.
ant Supt. F. N. Stewart, of the G. & N.
w. road, and Assistant Supt. Strick.
land, of the Omaha road. The
first thing to do was to get the pas
sengers forwarded to their destination.
Another engine for the Omaha train
was wired for to ST. James, and when
it arrived the train was pulled down in
to the yard and got started for the twin
cities at about 7:30 o'clock The Chi
cago & Northwestern through train ran
down into the city from the junction,
as there were no facilities for transport
ing the passengers to and from the juno
ton.
Large crowds of interested spectators
watched the wrecking operations far in.
to the evening. By ten o'clock both
engines had backed out of the cars
ahead of them under their own steam
and without other assistance. AS they
came out their fronts were found to be
covered with kindling wood torn from
the cars. The smoke stacks of both en-.
gines were gone and the fronts were
battered up, but they were still service
able. The work of removing the
wrecked cars was then taken up and
was completed before morning, hardly
vestige being left.
The total property loss to the two
roads by reason of the wreck is about
$4,000 The freight cars were running
at speed of about sixteen miles an
hour when they struck engine No. SO.

The stub train took its usual position
Just in front of the Omaha train and on
the same track, for the transfer of pas
sengers, and was about to start on it's
second trip to the junction, to be fol-
lowed moment later by the Omaha
train on it's way north. The track was
open ahead and all was in readiness for
the two trains to pull out. There was
the usual small gathering on the plat
form and both trains carried their
quotas of passengers, The stub train
was headed by engine No. SO, and then
came the passenger coach, with the
baggage car on the rear. The Omaha
train was pulled by engine No 173.
Suddenly the roar of swiftly moving
cars was heard up the track ahead, and
wild train consisting of twelve freight
cars and caboose was seen coming
down the grade on the open track,
caboose first 1t was going at rapid
rate of speed, with no one to set the
brakes. A collision was seen to be in
evitable and there was rush on the
part of the bystanders to get into places
of safety. In another moment there
was a tremendous crash that was
plainly heard for blocks. and people
fastened to the depot from all direc.
tions to ascertain what had happened,
and a large crowd soon assembled.
When it was ascertained that no one
had been killed or even seriously in
jured sigh of relief went up.
The wreck made by the collision was
a very picturesque one, and many
cameras were turned on it from the
groups of spectators. The caboose was
thrown crossways of the track and cut
in two in the middle by the force of its
impact with the head of engine No. SO
The next car was box car loaded
with wheat. This was also thrown
crossways and rested mainly on the de-
pot platform close to the corner of the
ladies' waiting room. The car was
crushed like a toy and the greater part
of the wheat which it contained was
piled on the platform. An empty cat
tie car was next, but it escaped much
injury. The trucks remained on the
track, but the forward part of the car
was lifted and turned a few feet toward
the river. None of the other freight
cars were damaged.
The engine of the stub train was left
imbedded in the caboose, but was not
seriously damaged and can soon be
repaired. The force of the impactents

Mrs. Herman Born Asks for Temporary
, Alimony and Suit Money.

Herman Born, who is engaged in the
cigar business in this city, has com
menced an action for divorce from his
wife, Frances Born on the ground of
cruel and inhuman treatment. Mrs.

opposes the suit but asks for a divorce
on the ground of cruel and inhuman
treatment and non-support. A motion
was argued Wednesday before Judge
Severance, the defendant desiring the
plaintiff to pay her $3.50 suit money and
$50 month temporary alimony. w.

A wreck of considerable proportions,
but fortunately without the accom-
paniment of loss of life or serious in
jury, occurred in front of the union depot
at about $50 o'clock Sunday after
noon. That no more damage was done is
remarkable, considering the circum-
stances of the accident.
The afternoon passenger train on the
Omaha road, from Sioux City to st.
Paul, was about thirty-fiye minutes
late, and the Chicago & Northwestern
stub train made a trip to Mankato
junction without waiting for it. When
it returned, the Omaha train was in.

DRIED FRUITS IN NEW YORK.

The New York Commercial says:
There is an active demand for all varieties
OF California dried fruits, with the exception
of raisins and they are doing better. The
consuming trade has picked up in the past
few days and. while orders are scarcely ever
for more than carlots, and even orders of
that size are not numerous. the aggregate of
such orders makes a generally good business
Prices remain firm. with upward tendency, and
practically all dealers speak hopefully OF the
California prunes are closely concentrated;
Demand appears to be increasing, but the
larger sizes receive the most attention. Some
BUYERS sufficiently realize the tmpossibility or
securing a sufficient supply Of the larger sizes
and are buying more freely OF mediums. The
result is a strengthening Of the market in
all positions with indications Of advancing
ported that the spring demand is not being
felt yet. There is a gradual reduction or
supplies, but according to some mail advlees
the quantity still available is ample. rev
small holders are disposing of odd lots at &c
for Santa Claras and 2&c for OUTSIDE Large
holders of choice goods refuse to consider any,
thing less than 3Isd3Lc for Santa Claras and
27sG3c basis for outside. The general situation
is said to be one of waiting.
Less activity in peaches is reported from
the coast but prices remain firm. The buying
OF a few cars for actual trade requirements
was a feature, and even small orders are no
ttceabe. On the spot the market retains It's
strength, but there are no large sales and
prices are steady at previous range.
"Apricots are steady at previous range OF
prices and reports indicate that supplies are
very deficient, but just how many cars OF
desirable fruit are now available II is i'm
POSSIBLE to say. There is a feeling, however,
that supplies are low in all positions and that
increased demand will unquestionably send
prices up. At the moment domestic demand Is
about all there is to trade. Exporters cannot
touch stocks at present prices.
The raisin situation shows little change:
There is a better feeling in the trade, caused
by reports from the coast which indicate the
probable successful combination of growers
and packers on the spot there Is no change
The outlook is rather better than 1t was q
week ago. but trade is still quiet and on q
rather narrow basis"
