TWO CARS TELEscoPED.
Fast Freight Crashes into a Side Track in
North western Yards Last Evening

A serious property wreck occurred
last evening about 9 O'Clock in the
yards of the Northwestern Railway
Company near the Kenosha station.
The wreck resulted in the te1escoping
of two freight cars and the fireman
and engineer who were in charge of
the freight train escaped serious injury
in a most miraculous manner
The train which goes out on the Ke-
nosha division to Be1videre and Rock
ford arrived in this city on time and as
the train was heavily loaded it was
moving at a good rate of speed. When
the Grand avenue crossing was reached
one of the trainmen was sent to open
the switch in order to switch the train
over to the Kenosha division. Some
error must have been made by the
trainman, for in few moments the
heavily laden train came on and
crashed into a furniture car which was

on the side track of the Milwaukee
line. AS the crash came the engineer
and fireman 1eaped from the cab and
escaped serious injury. The furniture
car was completely demolished. An
oil car which was standing near the
first car was driven almost through
the furniture car, while the front part
of the engine of the freight train was
also completely demolished. The loss
to the company will be very large and
it is estimated by Agent Truax at
81, 800. A crew of men were at work
this morning removing the debris
from the track. The man at the station
can give no cause for the wreck more
than that the switch was turned wrong.

At the conclusion of the speech

received with almost as much acclaim
as the President himself. After Mr..

that the first lady of the land was il

dent and the other guests who remain
ed on the platform. Some of the more
fortunate ones were successful but the
great mass were disappointed in their
attempts. AS the train pulled off for
Waukegan the President stood in the
door and waved a last adieu to the
people. This was a signal for mighty
outburst of applause and cheering,
which continued until the Presidential
train was out of hearing.

ANOTHER REAL ESTATE DEAL
E. R. Head Has Purchased the Hoye Prop.
erty on Ashland Avenue.

At the Administrator sale on Sat
urday afternoon E. r. Head bought
the Hoye estate property on Ashland
avenue, extending back to the railroad
on the west and to the next street on
the south, giving about 600 feet front
age, on the two streets. Mr.. Head will
divide the piece into lots to suit the
purchaser.
The property is all in the city, and
city water within a few feet of it, and
can be had at any time. He figures to
sell the Ashland avenue lots for $500
and $500 apiece, and the side street
lots for 800 and $500 per lot. The
piece contains about three acres, which
will make twenty good lots, besides
some low land on the creek.
Mr.. Head figures to sell them all in
the next thirty days, as the prices are
fixed so low that the lots will sell them
selves.

LONDON'S LAZY CLUB.

Its Rules Require Good Deal of De-
termination of Character.
London contains many societies, from
the Christmas Goose Club to that for
the Worshippers of Omar the Tentmak
er. but apparently there is another
which has hitherto escaped notice, says
the London Telegraph. 1t is called the
Lazy Society,"" and, no doubt, in the
metropolis there are many people who
are eligible for membership Idle per-
sons, however. had better not enroll
themselves rashly. or they may find
that the rules demand too much de-
termination OF character. Absolute
laziness is a task in itself. and re-
quires a good deal of living up to, be-
sides involving one in unpleasant sit
uations. Mr.. Reason is one OF the
members of this curious community,
and so earnest is he that he informed
Mr.. Marsham at Westminster that no
punishment would induce him to break
stones or pick oakum. He was charged
by the master of the workhouse with
refusing to do any work, and he even
carried his principles SO far as to de-
cline to wash or undress himself. He
had been punished in every possible
way (ominous phrase), but all to no
account. He remained, in spite of all
temptation, an obstinate member of the
Lazy Society" The jailer asked the
defendant to give some explanation and
he answered, with great deliberation.

Where Soldiers Must swim.

In the Dutch army, says Stray Sto-
ries, a man must be able TO swim as
well as to fight. Moreover, II he is
in the cavalry he must have a horse
which will take a river as easily as a
hunter takes fence. Swimming man
euvers are part of the regular drill
there Collapsible canvas boats,
manned by a few oarsmen. lead the
horses SO that they do not attempt to
land on stone quays and other difficult
points. The men swim across with
their horses and on them. They do
it in swimming costume and in all the
accoutrements of war. There are few
nautical emergencies for which the
Dutch army is not prepared. Some OF
the officers have reached such a de-
gree of proficiency that not only their
horses and kit cross with them
but their pet dogs sit upon their shoul-
ders, and are borne over almost with
out getting wet.

his chapter on "The Fight With the
