AN ENGINE JUMPS THE TRACK A Second Knglne and Many Freight Cam Are IMletl I |>- on It. Five men were injured in a bad railroad wreck under the Mississippi street bridge in St. Paul at 9:30 this morning. As a Wisconsin Central freight train drawn by two engines was entering the city the first engine jumped the track. The second engine and a number of cars, rushing on, were thrown from the track and piled up in a heap. The injured are: Henry Doll, fireman, 197 Lyndale ave nue \", Minneapolis, slight burisee. Thomas La Plant, engineer, 625 Sixth street S, Minneapolis, slightly injured in the left leg. Emil Probst, 233 Cayuga street, St. Paul, slightly scalded. D. A. Woodbury, switchman, St. Paul, badly crushed under wreckage. Tom Galvin, engineer, Case and Park streets, St. Paul, scalded and internally injured. The train was made up at Abbottsford, Wis., and was pulling up the heavy grade toward the Mississippi street bridge. An other engine, a common switch engine, was put on in front of the regular engine to help pull it up the grade. Just as the switch engine reached the curve near the bridge it jumped the track and the regular engine, directly behind, knocked the switch engine directly across the track. Galvin, the engineer of the first engine, and Probst, bis fireman, were thrown under the wreckage and both men were fearfully cut and bruised. Woodbury, the switchman, was in. the cab at the time of the accident and is perhaps the worst injured. The engineer and fireman of the regular engine, Henry Doll and Thomas La Plant, suffered only slight scratches, though violently shaken up. Doll was caught under the engine, and La Plant landed in the sandbank. A number of horses in a car in the mid dle of the train were so badly injured that they had to be shot. The Margaret, Rondo and Central pa trol wagons were soon on the spot and as sisted in caring for the wounded, and in removing them to the hospital. Engine companies Nos. 4 and 9 were called out and quenched the fire that had started in the wreckage. They also as sisted in caring for thU wounded. Both engines and many of the cars were totally wrecked and the loss is heavy. NEW ORANGE ROUTE Train Load of Oranges Via the Great Northern. WILL REACH HERE FRIDAY NEXT Only Nine Day* From the Groves by Water and Rail—lmportant Experiment. Fourteen carloads of oranges will ar rive in Minneapolis. Friday, direct from Los Angeles. Cal.. after a nine-days' run. The train left Seattle yesterday. This phenomenal time is due to the fact that the train bearing the fruit is a special, and that it is necessary to get the oranges to market without an hour's delay. The fruit was in fine condition when the cars left Los Angeles, but the shipment re quired fast time between the coast and the twin cities and Chicago to insure its preservation hence the tremendous hus tle ot the Great Northern road which is handling the fruit train. This shipment was made possible by the helpless attitude of the Southern Pa cific and Santa Fe roads, which have been unable to furnish cars for the big orange crop of the Pacific coast. The crop has ripened, too, much faster than In ordinary seasons, and the conditions are such that other roads had to handle the fruit or leave it to rot in a market where there was no sale for it. An Important Innovatio. The traffic department of the Great Northern is deeply interested in its orange train, as on its safe and satisfac tory condition depend many future ship ments. The Southern Pacific and the Santa Fe roads have for years been op pressors in the California fruit belt, so say shippers and commission men, and but little attention has been paid to the proper care of the fruit business. A con stantly growing local business has en listed the attention of the western traffic officials who felt so sure of the eastern fruit business that they have been deaf to the demands for better service on the part of commission men. They had the shipments to make, and they would make them in whatever time they chose, con sistent with handling their local busi ness. This is the crying complaint of fruit men in the eastern markets, and may result in a revolution in the methods of handling the fruit crop of the coast. The present shipment was made by steamer to San Francisco, where it was transferred to the steamer Umatilla which delivered the oranges to the Great Northern at Seattle. TICKETS GOING FAST The "I" Glee Club Assured of an En- titiiMiiiMtjf Reception.

THERE'LL BE NO NEW BUILDINGS Board Is <'on»iderlnu a Report From the BulldiiiK < uuinillet- I'liU Afternoon. The board of education will have about $00,000 for building this year. This sum is Quite inadequate to provide for the ex panding wants of the schools in the matter of room, bui the limit is set and the board purposes to make such use of the money as to assure accommodations for the larg est possible number of pupils. It lias been decided to erect no new buildings this year and buy no sites, but spend the mouey in fitting up additional rooms in the present buildings and in erecting additions. The board is engaged f.Vis afternoon in considering a report from the building committee as to how the money can bc-sf. be expended. The committee, which consists of Direc tors Hicks and Pratt, made a tour of in vestigation in company with Architect Stebbins last Saturday. The committee recommends an eight-room addition to the Prescott school in Northeast Minneapolis; one of the same number of rooms to either the Monroe or Seward schools in South Minneapolis; three additional rooms in the basement of the Logan school in North Minneapolis: a basement room in the Van Cleve school in Northeast Minneapolis, and the completion of one more class and five more recitation rooms in the East high school. The above improvements will meet the most pressing needs of the schools and practically exhaust the build ing fund. Preacott in a Bad Way. The Prescott district is perhaps the worst off of all. Here there are five out sld-e enexes in use, none of them at all fitted for school purposes. Xext in im portance is the Monroe district, where there has been much complaint for two years past on account of crowded condi tions. The commmltteeinen could not agree on the location of the proposed eight-room addition. One wanted it at the Monroe school, the other at the Se ward. The Monroe is now a sixteen-room building, the other twelve. There is need, too, for additions to the Lyndale and Bremer schools, but the com mittee has decided that nothing can be done for them this year. The additional romos in the Blast high school will accommodate 200 pupils. The grades, seemingly, will be well provided for by the additional rooms In the Pres cott and Van Cleve schools, but should the demand require it, the abandoned Marcy school will be opened either in whole or in part. The pressure on the Central high will be relieved by a new rule to go into effect next fall, changing the Central school line from Tenth avenue S to Chicago avenue. It is estimated that this will di vert about 50 present Central pupils to the South high. BROWN IS CLERK Mayor Aineg* Program Wan Carried Oat. Only three of the board of corrections anil charities, including the mayor, were present at last night's meeting. But they were enough to carry through the program mapped out by the mayor. Charles H. Brown, father of Mayor's Secretary T. R. Brown, was elected clerk of the board, to fill the vacancy made by the death of Mr. Owre, and John Ames, son of the mayor, was appointed as sistant at the city hospital. The latter's duties .will be to answer telephone calls at the office and otherwise make himself useful. He will draw $20 per month, Jus* half the sum he has been receiving in private em ployment. Mayor Ames explained that the salary question was unimportant. It was the discipline of the position that the boy needed. A resolution was passed directing the secre tary of the board to present the county com missioners with a bill for $750 for care of patients sent to the city hospital by the sheriff and the- probate judge. Hitherto the city has cared for he county patients free of charge. POLITICS AND LEGISLATION A rumor has gone the rounds at the capl tol to the effect that the Buileigh bill in creasing the representation In congress goes into effect immediately, and that Minnesota is entitled to nine congressmen at the com ing session next December. If this were *he case, Governor Van Sant would have to call special elections in the sixth and ninth districts in order to complete the delegation. The story is baseless, as the Burleigh bill does not go into effect until the next gen eral election. Some ground wa« given for the rumor in activity of candidates for con gress in the new districts, who are alreody campaigning, though election is twenty months away. The situation in the ninth district is inter esting, and members of the legislature from that section are already speculating on the outcome. They predict that S. Q. Comstoek of Moorhead will enter the race next year, and that he will have the support of Elmer Adams. The northern counties, It is believed, will bring out Senator Grindeland. Ezra Valentine of Breckenridge will come in if conditions are right. If these three contes; for the nomination, it will be hard to pick the winner. All three are strong men in their respective sections. Comstoek is better known all over the district, but Valentine made a good many friends in his unsuccess- ful contest with Eddy, and Grindeland's rec ord in the legislature is known in his favor all over the Red River valley. If the board of control bill passes in its present shape, as it is quite certain to do, the board of prison managers will go out of existence, and, among other duties, the board of control will have to assume the function of paroling prisoners from the pen itentiary and the reformatory. The Deming parole bill, which is now on the senate calendar, provides for the parol ing of life prisoners by the board of prison managers, with consent of the board of par dons. When both bills are finally passed, the prison managers will go out of existence and the power delegated by the Deming bill 10 that board will be transferred to the board of control. The courts will, of course, take knowledge of the intent of the act, and Its efficacy will not be Impaired; but should the board of control bill pass first, the Deming bill ought to be amended and brought up to date. The famous "dog bill," now in the hands of the governor for signature, is held by attorneys In the legislature to clearly in valid. The bill imposes a tax on dogs, an<l | the proceeds are to go Into a fund for reim bursing farmers for sheep killed by dogs. It makes no difference whether a man's own dog kills the sheep, the state is to pay him for them. This point was raised in the Ju diciary committee, but the bill went through because there is a demand for it in the coun try. It is quite certain that the courts will knock It out if It Is ever tested. —C. B. C. Killed by a I alilnn Limb, Special to The Journal. Fergus Falls, Minn., March 26.—Henry Cummings, of the town of Llda. died yester day as the result of injuries received while at work in the woods, the limb of a tree fall ing and striking him on the head, and the blow resulting in paralysis of practically his entire body. He was about 40 years of age and leaves a wife and family. He was a member of the Workmen's lodge of Pelican Rapids, and the funeral will be held under the auspices of that order.—County Treasurer Butler reports tax collections amounting to about $20,000 during his recent tour. The collections last year were about $2<J,i)oo, the falling off being due to poor crops. HOW THE TRUTH GOT IN THE WELL. , Chicago Times-Herald. "Pa," said little Georgie, "how did truth get into the well?" "Oh, I dunno." his pa. replied, "unless she was thrown in by some fellow who was expecting a visit from the tax as sessor. Now keep quiet; I want to read about Mrs. Nation." YOUNGER BROS. CLUB Organized to Secure the Release of the Boys. THE STORY OF A MISSOURIAN He Said the "Society" Wtut Raising Funds and Doubtless Had a Considerable Sam. A well-known senator is telling a queer story among his friends. Last year he visitfcd Kansas City. One evening at his hotel he grew rather friendly with a Missourian and passed the evening with him. The Missourian expressed sorrow because the Younger brothers had been unable to secure their release from Still water, but declared that the friends of the boys were undaunted and were still at work in their behalf, and would secure their release in time. "Why," he said, "there is a regular so ciety among the friends of the Younger boys in this state. They are collecting money to help them out, and they must have a big sum by this time. There will be another attempt made before long." Whether the man was simply talking for effect or really had accurate informa tion, the Minnesota senator does not know. He assisted in killing the bill for the relief of the Youngers two years ago, and will oppose the present measure. He is sorry, now, that he not unable to se cure more definite evidence on the Young er matter when he was in Kansas City, as the temptation to spring it on the sen ate is very strong. He will, however, say nothing on the subject when the bill comes up for passage. The senator in question does not for a moment accuse any members of the legis lature of being influenced by unworthy motives, and least of all does he cast any reflection on the sincerity of the author of the bill. HINTS FORB.C.R.&N. Minneapolis Business Men Make Some Plain Statements. NO TERMINALS; NO BUSINESS Cedar Rapida Road Must Enter the City Directly If It Wuui» Patronage, The Minneapolis shipper appreciates the value of quick delivery enough to know that the plans of the 8., C. R & N. to enter Minneapolis by way of the back yard through. St. Paul are squarely opposed to the real interests of this city. The job bers have been discussing the proposed extension thoroughly and they regard the proposition of a roundabout route from Faribault through St. Paul as strange policy for a road to pursue that expects to get most of its twin city freight from Minneapolis. The Minneapolis shippers, and especially the jobbers, appreciate the addition of new territory to that tribu tary to this city, but they are not slow in stating that the circuitous route through St. Paul would make few friends for the 8., C. R & N. in Minneapolis and would add little to their territory. They can reach much of the southern territory with the roads that now run into this city. They would be forced to ship over the 8., C. R. & N. to but few points and with the favors of the road extended to St. Paul entirely, the Minneapolis shipper would feel that he had little in common with the 8., Q. R. & N. Mr. Stevenson of Patterson & Sfeveri son said: A direct line from Faribault would be ap preciated by the jobbers of Minneapolis and the buyers In that part of the state. It would give us new territory, and would also give the merchants of that section better freight service. Sending their trains through St. Paul first means that the road would give that city the advantage in securing the visit ing buyers. The road would simply be mak ing no effort to secure the good will of Minneapolis shippers and would have no rea son to expect anything. Wo are public-spir ited enough to favor the roads that are will ing to show Minneapolis favors. We do not believe in favoring a road that wants to handicap us by giving a rival city first chance at the buyers and better facilities in shipping. What Mr. Partridge Say*. George H. Partridge, of Wyman, Part ridge & Co., said: Minneapolis wants that extension and it also wants the terminals. J do not believe that the 8., C, R. & N. will adopt a discriminat- ing policy against Minneapolis as the large percentage of its freight must come from this city. If it showed a disposition to discrim inate it would certainly lack the good will of Minneapolis shippers and that is a big item in securing business. Maurice McDonald of McDonald Bros., wholesale crockery, said: The tonnage of Minneapolis in the jobbing lines exceeds that of St. Paul. There is every reason for the 8., C, R. & N. to favor tb.il city. There is every reason why it should not discriminate against it. We should not feel disposed to give any more business than was absolutely necessary to a road that would make us only a side track town. Ernest F. Smith, of Smith & Zimmer, farm implements, said: It is a decided disadvantage to ship freight from this city by way of St. Paul on account of the delay occasioned at that point. It is also of decided disadvantage to the city to have trains from a territory directly tribu tary to Minneapolis running through St. Paul first. To the customer in town for a day only it means that St. Paul has one and one half hours' more time to offer the visitor and that is quite an item to the business man and the lady shopper. Most of the roada going south get three-quarters of their busi ness from Minneapolis. If the 8., C, R. & N. or any other road passes its trains through St. Paul first and gives to St. Paul its pay roll and yards, it certainly has little to ex pect from the Minneapolis shipper with the southern territory so well Ironed. W. J. Dean's Ideas. W. J. Dean, of Dean & Co., farm im plements, said: The 8., C, R. & N. can expect few favors from Minneapolis when in the extension of its line and the running of its trains it discrim inates against the city. But there is a flrst class reason for the road building a direct line to Minneapolis from Farlbault. In the first place it would tap a country that needs a road badly and would also be in shape to take advantage of a nice suburban business that now comes to Minneapolis by teams or in a roundabout way over other roads. I have been through most of that territory with a team. The people would appreciate a direct line and would patronize it well. The creamery business would be large considera tion in itself. There would be little trouble with grades and crossing the Minnesota river at Bloomington would not be expensive. I think that if this matter is presented to the railway officials in the right light they will think twice before turning down the direct route into this city. George H. Davis, of the LaCrosse Plow company, said: We have a good trade south. We want no delays in St. Paul and (hat is what shipping through that town means. We would appre ciate a direct line from Faribault, but we would not have enough interest In the back yard route through St. Paul to remember It with any more business than we had to. George E. Htggins, of Anthony Kelly ft Co., said: Our experience is that the Minneapolis shipper sending goods through St. Paul Is subject to considerable delay, which is a big handicap in the wholesale grocery business. Any road expecting its share of Minneapolis shipping must show the shippers of this city some inducements. Giving St. Paul first choice of the visiting buyers and also the terminals and yards as well as subjecting Minneapolis to delay In shipments is not the policy that will attract business from Minneapolis. WE MUST HOLD CUBA What Dr. 0. P. Sutherland Thinks Is the Wise Course. HAS JUST RETURNED FROM CUBA He Spent Four Weeks in the Inland— Isle . of Pine* De velopment. Dr. O. P. Sutherland returned yes terday from a four weeks' sojourn in Cuba. He junketed around Havana sev eral days, moved out into the interior a bit, got as near Governor General Wood as to see him step into his car riage and drive away, and finally went over to the Isle of Pines and, with his wife, rode mule-back over half of the island. Dr. Sutherland Is one of a company of forty-five that have purchased a tract of 22,000 acres 01 land in the Isle of Pines, and they purpose to develop Its agricultural resources to the limit, and several members of the company, farm ers from lowa and Illinois, are already there engaged In actual farming operations. U. S. Mast lluub On. Dr. Sutherland returns from Cuba con vinced more than ever that there is but .one course for the United States to take toward the island and that is exactly the course that it is now pursuing. The United States must hold the whip hand there or it is all up with suffering Cuba, he declares. The people are no more fit for self-government, he avers, than a lot of sixth grade school children axe fitted to assume the management of municipal affairs in Minneapolis. Any such experi ment would assuredly be disastrous. The people with property and education, and all with anything at stake, realize this fully, he found, and are bitterly op posed to the scheme of absolute inde pendence, knowing that it means anarchy in very short order. "One does not need to go to Cuba and Bee for himself to arrive at an opinion of what is the proper thing for this govern ment to do in the present crisis," said he. "You can sit down and read your papers at home and learn all that anybody can learn who is actually on the spot. I had > my opinion of the situation, gained by reading the papers, and what I saw and learned by going down there has not changed it one bit." Dr. Sutherland enjoyed the distinction of being driven about Havana by a sour visaged Jehu who had attained to the rank of general in the Cuban revolu tionary army. A REGIMENTAL REUNION THE FIFTEENTH HOLDS ITS FIRST Although the Regiment Is Widely Scattered the Attendance Will Be Large. The members of the Fifteenth Minne sota Volunteer Infantry will hold their first reunion Wednesday evening in Alex ander Hall, Sixth street between Nicollet and Hennepin avenues. The date chosen is the second anniversary of the muster out of the regiment at Augusta, Ga. Since that time no attempt has been made by the members of this regiment to hold a re union, owing largely to the fact that the men who composed the rank and file of the Fifteenth were so widely scattered. This was due to the composition of the regiment, it being of purely volunteer or igin and having had no connection with the state militia. The committee in charge of the reunion is composed of Major James Elwiu. Cap tain Charles Bond, Lieutenant W. T. Coe, Quartermaster Sergeant E. J. McCall, Corporals Burque and Gallop for Minne apolis, Lieutenant Colonel Gotzian, Cap tain John Finehout, Lieutenant Bookstaver and First Sergeant Bunker for St. Paul. The committee has made every effort to reach as many members of the Fifteenth as possible and a large attendance both from the twin cities and the state at large is expected. Captain Gilmore of Pipe stone will bring in his whole company. Company B of St. Paul will attend one hundred strong and Companies A, I and X of Minneapolis will be well represented. Major Elwin has arranged a unique and interesting vaudeville performance, including dancing by the Queen of the Midway, boxing, clog dancing and comic burlesques rendered by professional tal ent. Light refreshments will be served during the evening. NOT MAD AT FLAMBEAUX THOMAS H. MIKMJV IS BACK Say* Flambeaux May Xot Have Wanted Him to Entertain Roosevelters. Thomas H. Shevlin, republican national committeeman for Minnesota, who has just returned from a long absence in the east, expresses surprise at the enmity shown for him by the Minneapolis Flam beau club. Mr. Shevlin says that he has nothing against the Flambeaux. He sup poses that the club is irritated because he entertained the Roosevelt club when both clubs were in Washington attending the inauguration. Mr. Shevlin belongs to the Roosevelt club, and, as he says, it was only natural that he should entertain it. Mr. Shevlin finds the lumber trade good, especially in Nebraska and Kansas. The Minnesota delegation in congress are working together harmoniously and effectively, and eastern people comment on their ability to get what they want. Moses Clapp will make a good senator, Mr. Shevlin thinks. EXAMS BEGIN TO-NIGHT Y. M. C. A. Students Ready for the Annual Ordeal. The international Y. M. C.
