A Peculiar Accident which Resulted
in Smashing a Car, but inflicted
No Personal Injuries-An Investi-
cation to Follow.
The Chicago st. Paul. Minneapolis &
Omaha express from Chicago, due in st.
Paul at $40 in the morning, struck the
Burlington's Chicago express in a broad
side collision on the Burlington 'Y' yes
terday, as the latter train was backing
out of the union depot station sheds
preparatory to finishing its run into Min
neapolis. By the fortunate crcum-
stance that the coaches struck by the
Omaha express were almost empty, there
were no fatalities. The accident was
peculiar and the causes are not ex-
planned. The Omaha train supposedly
was protected by block signals. yet it
crashed into the Burlington express
while the latter was backing down the
"Y"
The Burlington's Chicago express is
due in ST. Paul at 7:45 in the morning
and had unloaded it's passengers in the
union station and was backing out on the
''Y' to switch on the Minneapolis line
when the accident occurred Just
as the express backed down the ~
the Omaha night express from Chicago
came spinning into the yards, due at
$40. The Omaha train came in sight
Just as the Burlington came across it's
track, which crosses the ''Y " 1t was
running down heavy grade at a con-
siderable rate of speed, and though the
ergineers and crews, of both trains did
all in their power to avert an accident,
the two met, the Omaha crashing into
the side of the next to the rear coach
of the Burlington.
At the instant the two trains came to-
gether half the Burlington coach was
across the intersection of the Omaha
main lire and the outgoing tracks OF the
Burlington. The yard switchmen state
that as the Omaha passed its nearby
block, which was open, the engineer
leaned far out of his cab window and
saw the Burlington ahead. He then
dropped back and reversed Instantly, at
the same time throwing the air and ap-
plying sand to the rails. The momen-
tum of the heavy train was so great
that his prompt action hardly sufflced
to check it's speed and the next instant
the Omaha engine was blowing through
q passenger coach.
The heavy Omaha express engine, NO.
255, opened out the side of the Burning
ton coach like a knife through an air
cushion. The forward end of the last
coach on the Burlington train was con-
siderably damaged. The Omaha engine
which suffered the brunt of the collision,
was able to complete it's run into the
depot, though the pilot was carried away
and the right cylinder badly shattered.
Engineer c. Montgomery, of 1853 Marshall
avenue in charge; of the Omaha express,
was not injured, though both he and MS
fireman were badly shaken up. W. f.
Brisbin was in charge of a switch en-

PROBATE court Is. Struggling with
the EdgerIy Estate.
The objections to the appointment of a
guardian in the estate of Elizabeth
Edgerly were heard by Judge Bazille, in
the probate court yesterday. Elizabeth
Edgerly was the first wife of w. E.
Edgerly, they being married in England.
year after they came to America Mrs
Edgerly returned to England. and. be-
coming insane, was placed in an asylum
at Brentwood. Edgerly came West and
married Belle Gates, stating that he had
secured a divorce from his first wife
This, however, was not the fact. Edgerly
died, leaving an estate valued at $1,000
1t is now sought to have a guardian ap-
pointed to protect the rights Of the first
wife In the estate. Philip Gilbert, attor-
ney for Belle Edgerly, contended yester-
day that his client had received no notice
as to the dispositions to be taken in Eng
land relating to the first Mrs. Edgerly,
and for this reason the proceedings were
illegal. Judge Bazille ruled against this
contention. The further point was made
by Mr. Gilbert that his client had
right to be heard on the appointment of
guardian for Mrs. Edgerly No. l, and
this will be argued today.

So the Mississippi Valley Asks the
State to Excuse 1t.
C. H. Judson yesterday made a return
to the state treasurer for the gross earn
ings tax of the Mississippi Valley Tele-
phone company. While it was mat
ter of regret that the company had
earned no more, not, however, be-
cause of its anxiety to pay its money
into the state treasury. but because there
was large deficit. the company was I'M
able to make as favorable a report as 1t
would like The years earnings figured
just ten cents, while the expenses Of
construction were 100000 The letter ex-
planned that the ten cents was received
from a soldier of the FortY-fifth regt-
ment, who used one Of the company's
phones last fall and insisted on paying
for the service. The dime Is being pre-
served, as memento, and will be framed
by the company as its first earning.
Inasmuch as the deposition and
revenue stamps would take all of the
company's 1899 earnings they ask that the
matter be. left over until next year, when
they promise to make a better showing.
Returns for the gross earnings tax were
made by the Union Depot Transfer Com
pany of Saltwater, for $412.50 and Mime

said:
''I regret that an exceedingly exasper-
ating matter in our last session yester-
day so irritated me that l forgot myself
and was guilty of using unparliamentary
language This is my apology to this con-
vention."
w. D. Ryan, the Illinois miner, who &C
cused Boyle Of being too forced, got
the floor at once, and. in tone OF sar-
casm, said:

that I had sufficient provocation to say
what I did, and make this statement In

fierce shout from the miners. Chairman
J. S. Martin, of the joint scale committee,
announced that the members would hold
a session at once.
John F. Reese, an Iowa miner, made an
effort to have the Iowa operator question
brought in again, but was not success1ul.

no business could be done Finally mo

''The actress is comparatively self-ln-

James Miller, Nov. IS, 1899, changed his
plea of not guilty yesterday and pleaded
guilty to murder in the second degree.
The prisoner when arraigned before
Judge Jaggard, appeared as cool and col
lected as though he was an uninterested
spectator in the court room He was rep
resenetd by c. D. O'Brien and John III.
Ives, and after the plea had been made,
the prisoner was remanded for sentence
which will be pronounced this morning.
The punishment for the crime to which
Guion pleaded guilty is fixed by the code
at imprisonment for life in the state
penitentiary. County Attorney Bigelow
said he was satisfied with the change
1t would have been hard matter to
convict Guion for murder in the first de-
gree, owing to the peculiar circumstances
of the case. The intent of Guion to kill
one man and then killing another, the
county attorney thought, made doubtful
