Weak TrestIe sagged Under
Weight Of Locomotive,
Engineer Opened Throttle, and
Pulled to Safe Place.
Structure Weakened BY the
Rush of Matters.
From Fridays Daily.


Narrow was the escape of Northwest
ern passenger train No. %, as it crossed
the trestle over a ravine twenty feet
deep and sixty feet wide on the old
route near Red Stone cut, a mile and
MALT west of CORTLAND and six and a
half miles east of New Ulm yesterday
afternoon at 4:l5 o'clock. Engineer
Craig felt the locomotive sagging down
as it was crossing the bridge, and,
realizing the danger, pulled the thrOt-
tie wide open, and rushed the entire
train, consisting of the locomotive, ten
der, combination car and coach, across
to place of safety. The front trucks
of the engine jumped the track and ran
on the ties about 700 feet. The plat
form of the combination car was
wrenched out of shape. As soon as the
train halted, the crew investigated the
bridge that had been crossed and found
it wreck. 1t seemed that cloud
burst had shed torrents of water down
the ravine, carrying huge rocks, which
tore out large number of the piles.
In some places the ties and piles hung
from the rails.
About twenty passengers were on the
train; besides the crew, consisting of
c. ID. Craig, Waseca, engineer; George
Stahl, New Ulm, fireman.; c. A. Rich
ardson, New Ulm, conductor; T. A..
Broderick, New Ulm, baggage man,
Frank Webster, Mankato, express mes
senger; and j. j. Moriarty, New Ulm,
mail clerk. Baggageman Boderick was
somewhat bruised. No one was seriously
hurt
the cloudburst must have occurred
sometime between four and $50 o'clock
About four o'clock the yard engine of
New Ulm passed over the trestle and
nothing wrong was noticed. The bridge
must be reconstructed entirely.

as follows: Faribault, % l-3; Mankato

place, beat her own records made at
Sibley park in most of the events.
In the broad Jump, Al. Moore of Man

ance of 20 TT. 10 in, surprising the rec
ord made on that field last year by
TT. in. In the shot put, Ed. Coughlan
of Mankato came out first, also break
ing the local record by one foot, his
distance being Al fit. in.
The visitors were warmly welcomed
by the students and faculty of Carleton
college, who spared no pains to see that
the boys and their accompany
ing friends were shown every
courtesy. On Friday evening, the
Mankato visitors enioyed little direct
study of the stars in the college obser-
vatory.
The meet between various high
schools of southern Minnesota at Sib-
ley park next Saturday afternoon is
expected to prove one of the hardest
and most exciting that ever took place
in the city. 1t is certain that very
strong teams will come from the high
schools of Mankato, Marshall and Fari-
bault. Possibly others will display UNI
expected prowess.

Peter Council.

From Fridays Daily.
Crossing the bridge on the Minneso-

the council of that city and the Man
kato and st. Peter Railway and Light
ing company have not seemed able
thus far to agree. The city dads
themselves are not of one mind about
this proposition. AT Monday evenings
meeting, Alderman Potts did not wish
to give the bridge under any considera-
ton. He succeeded in carrying his point
at that meeting. c. n. Andrews of
Mankato told the council that the de-
NAL of the use of the bridge would
practically prohibit the line from en-
tering st. Peter. There are other points
of the proposed franchise on which the
company and the council fail to jibe.

Nervous Dyspepsia
A Disease That Robs You of Every
Pleasure in Life-Hungry and Can't
Eat-Makes You Nervous, Morose,
Sullen, Irritable and Despondent.
DR.. A. W. CHAsE's NERVE PILLS

Overwork the stomach, or subject it
to the depressing influence of worry,
care, or constant excitement, and it gives
out. Ask it to digest anything, every
thing, at any time, and in half the time
required, and, lige an overriden horse,
it balks. The reason for this lies in the
close nerve relationship between the
brain and stomach, and the fact that the
irritation of either organ means the dis
tress of the other. Nature intended the
stomach should have regular hours-a
time to work, time to rest-and when
you break up this habit you upset the
whole arrangement. The stomach nerves
become exhausted, the glands refuse to
ferments, and repeats. There is pain,
gas forms, bloating occurs, the heart
becomes irregular and a nervous irrit-
able feeling sets in. This is nerv-
Gus dyspepsia and DIR. A. w. Chase's
Nerve Pills its cure.
Mrs. James H. Titus, of No. 1o7 Gin
ton ST., Warren, Pa, says:
CDR. A. W. Chase's Nerve Pills are

istry in June, 1869, and in 1877 he with
drew from the Hague Synod and or
gained the Independent Evangelical
Lutheran Church. 1t was in Chicago
that his career as tier of matrimonial
knots really began. 1t made no differ
ence to him who the persons were who
wished to get married, or what re-

home in Chicago he always had the
front room fitted up for emergency
marriages. There were mirrors for the
bride and everything was in readiness
for a marriage on moments notice.
AS the minister grew older his abil-
tiles were not impaired, but seemed to
grow with his popularity Several
times, it is said, he was kept so busy
marrying people that he had not time
to prepare his Sunday sermons, but his
excuse was always well received by
his congregation.
He had no stipulated fee for per-
forming a marriage ceremony. If the
bridegroom happened to have much of
this worlds goods, the fee was large;
if the couple was poor, probably need
ing the fee more than the minister, the
ceremony was always performed graf
is. 1t was his chief aim to encourage
matrimony, he said, and the matter OF
a few fees was nothing.
After he took to his bed from an i'll
ness caused by overwOrk his greatest
regret was that he was unable to con-
