FATAL YARD WRECK
Switch Engines Collide With Force
and Harry Williams, an En-
gineer, Is Killed.
Wreck Is Said to Have Been Caused
By Attempted Flying
Switch"

A collision of Great Northern switching
engines in the yards between, the Seventh
street and the, Holden street bridges, at
9:l5 this morning, resulted in the death Of
Harry Williams, one of the engineers and
slight injuries to John Duff, fireman on
the same engine.
Williams engine, with about fifteen
loaded cars, was running toward tho
junction, the engine backing. The
engine Of Gus Ludwig was
running toward the Union station. Will
liams saw the approaching engine, re-
versed his engine and applied the air, but
too late. The engines came together with
force sufficient to wreck Williams engine
and the first box car, the car being thrown
over on its side. Duff, the fireman,
jumped and escaped with some slight
bruises and burns.
Williams was caught in the cab and
pinned down. He was not rescued until
an engine could be sent for to pull the
wrecked engines apart-nearly half an
hour. AS soon as he was released he was
started for st. Mary's hospital, but died
at the hospitals door.
In the meantime the fire department
had been summoned and the fire in the
engine extinguished, and efforts were
made to protect the injured engineer.
AS yet it cannot be learned whose was
the fault Of the wreck. 1t was said by
some of those on the ground Immediately
after the wreck that it was due to an
attempt to make flying SWITCH"
Officers Helm and Doyle of the police
department were placed in charge Of the
wreck. ii 49, y. q -.

The QUAKERS KICK
Philadelphia Millers Don't Like New
Tariff Schedule Of the Penn.
sylvania.
They Are Deprived by It Of Privi-
lege of Milling Wheat in
Transit. -. -

Special to The Journal. '-
/, Philadelphia, June 15.-The recent &C
ton of the Pennsylvania railroad In an
nouncing new freight tariffs on flour,
wheat rye, etc., to the Philadelphia trade,
thus doing away with the milling in
transit" privilege, which had proved SO
profitable during the current crop season,
to Philadelphia and neighboring milling
corporations, has aroused much indigna-
ton on the part of mill officials and rep
resentatives on the floor of the Phila-
. delphia commercial exchange.
Heretofore mills in this state along the
Pennsylvania route. and such represent
atfve local milling, concerns as the Mill
bourne Mills company, the Quaker City
Milling company and the Eastern Milling
and Export company, could buy their
wheat in any of the great western grain
centers, have it hauled to their local
plants, grind it into flour and on the same
freight charge, send the finished product
to Pennsylvania, New Jersey and eastern
points for home consumption, or to New
York for export.
Under the new freight schedule, which
has just gone into effect, this privilege
has been discontinued, to the serious det-
riment, it is stated, Of the business Of the
local and state millers, who are now placed
at a material disadvantage in their com :
petition with the mills of Minnesota, the
FDakotas, Kansas and other milling cen
tiers Of the great wheat sections of the
country. While, so far as can be learned
no concerted efforts have been made by
the local millers to have the milling ir
transit privilege restored, or some more
equitable freight charges on western
wheat put into early. effect, it is said tina,
t a general appeal will be urged upon the
railroad management. ESs% -

HOT one FOR SOLONs
Appomattox Post G.. A. r. Resents
the Defeat Of Vicksburg Mon
ument Plan.
Action Condemned as Dishonest and
Disloyal, Accomplished by Trick
cry and Deceit.

Appomattox Post G. "A. R., at its last
meeting passed red-hot resolution con-
demning the recent legislature for ode
feating the wishes of all loyal citizens Of
the state in failing to make an appropria-
ton for the erection of statue to the
Minnesota soldier dead who were engaged
in the Vicksburg campaign. t..
After reviewing in detail the action Of
other states in erecting suitable monu-
ments to their sons who met death at
Vicksburg, and the defeat Of the Minnesota
movement, which had that end in view,
the members Of the post express their
opinion Of the legislators in this en-
phatic language:
1--WE condemn the legislators as whole
and we condemn in unmeasured terms the
chairman and his committee to whom
the bill was referred as dishonest, dis
loyal and unpatriotic, and hereafter I'M
worthy Of the respect or support Of every
old soldier and every loyal citizen Of this
or any other state.'
In its preamble the resolution directs
attention to the fact that there were more
Minnesota troops in the Vicksburg cam
paign than in any other battle of the civil
war, and that the Minnesota troops were
among the very last to be recalled from
the assault May % and the first to enter
the captured stronghold, July 4, 1868.
This fact, as the members Of the post
view II, IS alone Su1nC1enC TO enlist the
respect of every Minnesotan, especially
for those who lost their lives IN the
memorable campaign and who now sleep
In the national cemetery at Vicksburg.''
The fact is further recited that nearly
every other state which was represented
in the grand army which forced the
evacuation Of Vicksburg has already
erected monuments or has appropriated
much larger sum for their erection than
that asked for by the commission ap-
pointed for the purpose by the state.
In considering the defeat of the bill fo1
an appropriation Of $4,000 for monu-
men, by the Minnesota legislature, the
resolution declares that the movement
was defeated, by "trickery and deceit
