PECULIAR WRECK.
Two Victims of the Smash at Winnipeg
Others Hurt.


Winnipeg, Man, Nov. S0.--A rum
away engine in the Canadian North
ern yards caused two wrecks, killed
two men, seriously injured four others
and it was only by mere chance
that more frightful catastrophe was
avoided
AS a Northern Pacific train was
steaming into the yards from st. Paul,
an hour behind time, Engineer Young
saw a switch engine coming backward
around curve and bearing down on
him at full speed. Both engineers saw
the danger and the resulting collision
was comparatively slight as both re-
versed their engines. One woman pas
senger was slightly hurt and the fire.
man sustained cut on the head.
The most serious and peculiar part
of the accident was yet to follow.
When it was seen that a collision was
unavoidable, the engineer and fireman
of the switch engine, after reversing,
jumped to the ground. When 1T struck
the passenger engine, the switch en-
gine simply bounded back, and, with
the throttle wide open, started down
the yards toward where the flyer" a
lohS passenger lTdlH, WetS WdlllHS ~
pulled out A switchman saw the rum
away and the peril of the passenger
train and threw the engine onto a
siding where it collided with string
of freight cars. In one of these seven
men were at work and two of them,
William Neill and Mike Mudlow, were
killed and four others SO badly hurt
that it is feared they will not recover.
The other man escaped.
The damage done by the wreck will
amount to several thousand dollars.

Mistaken Idea as 70 All Sin.

They show comical lack of knowl-
edge of Chinese character over in
England. The immigration officials
must be very inexperienced or very
stupid, for they have forbidden the
entrance Of thirty-two Chinese immi-
grants on the ground that they have
no probable means OF support. A
Chinaman who can not earn a living
where half a white man would gtarve
in week can not easily be found.
The supreme objection to the Chinese
Immigrants which our labor unions
have Is that they can earn several
#liyings at once. II the Chinese are to
be kept out OF England some other
reason for excluding them must be
devised.

sTARvEs DURING STORM.
Settler Stays in Bed Three Days to
Avoid Freezinu.

Minot, N. D., Nov. 3O.-Fred Nc
Nulty of this city had terrible ex-
perience while holding down claim
which he has several miles east of
here. He went to the claim just be-
fore the big blizzard of last week. The
weather previously had been mild, and
McNulty had no store of fuel in the
shack. The storm was so fierce that
he could not make his way home, SO
he went to bed in order to keep from
freezing to death. For three days the
storm ragged, and McNuIty lay cover
ed up without a bite to eat and only
a small quantity of water. When
at last the storm subsidized, he made
his way to a neighbor's mile distant,
freezing his face and ears while en-
route. When he finally reached Minot
he was compelled to take to his bed as
a result of his experience.

girl had not changed from the time he
accomplished her ruin in October until
April, when her condition became
known to him.
Did you still love herr" asked the
district attorney.
81 did" answered Gillette with a
sharp nod of his head.
Gillette stated that when he de-
parted from Cortland with Grace
Brown, intending not to return, he left
everything in his room undisturbed
and said nothing to his landlady about
not coming back.
The district attorney went into a
long series of questions on the sub
ject of the witness financial condition
at the time he started for the Adiron-
dacks and asked him if he had planned
to use the girls own money in. maxi
ing away with her inasmuch as his
own purse was rather depleted.
Gillette answered mo"
Next the district attorney question
ed the witness closely on the matter
of his having neglected to pay his ho-
tel bill in Utica when he was there
with Miss Brown, en- route to the Adj
rondacks.

tricians engineers and firemen. II
will surprise many to know that most
of the cost of fortif1cations is for cleo
trical machinery, fire control and
searchlights, the Sire control" being
the system of telegraphic and tele-
phonic communication between forts
and batteries, and with observing sta
tions. Millions of dollars have been
spent, and additional millions will be
spent to establish power plants and
install costly electrical machinery, and
yet the coast artillery is expected to
take care of them with enlisted men
at $13, SIS and SIS a month. For
example: Sixty engineers are abso-
lutely necessary, and the bill provides
for that number at $3.50 per annum
each. The places of these engineers
are now filled by privates and nom
commissioned officers, the pay of the
highest being SIS per month. AS such
engineers can get from SIS to 800 per
month In private life, it is almost im-
possible to get them to re-enlist after
they once quality as engineers, and
thus the costly and intricate machin-
cry of our coast defenses is almost
constantly in the hands of untried men.
In addition, the work of constantly
breaking in new men is extremely
trying to the officers, and discouraging
to those who are attempting to bring
the coast artillery to a high state OF
efficiency.
A private statement of the condi-
tion OF the coast defense of twenty
eight fortified ports shows that to man
them with one shift of officers and
men, that is to say, each man at his
proper station would require 40,675
men, and 1884 officers. There are to-
day available at the different forts
1918 men and s57 officers, scarcely
enough to keep the guns and machin-
cry from rusting!
Commercial interests In general, and
especially those concerned with ship
ping and terminals at our great ports,
will be interested in this matter, ii
they take the trouble to investigate
the facts. Take New York, for in
stance, with Forts Totten, Schuyler
Slocum, Wadsworth, Hamilton and
Hancock, equipped with big guns, tor-
pedies, searchlights, etc. 1t would re-
quire 224 officers and 5.662 men to man

quick relief which the liniment affords
makes rest and sleep possible, and
that alone is worth many times its

that after awhile the relief became
