Evening for Treatment. The little town of Hampden, Ramsey county, had quite a sensation this week, brought about by the death of a citizen through the alleged error of' a drug store in selling wood alcohol for the other alcohol. The victim was a man by the name of McGroth, or McCaffred, a section boss for the Great Northern. Another party. Otto Evans by name, an elevator agent at Hamp den, was made very seriously ill by drinking from the same bottle from which the ,dead man had been imbib ing, and Evans was brought to Grand Forks Thursday evening and lodged at a local hospital for treatment. He is a very sick man, but well enough to tell the story. Evans says that on Sunday last he went into a drug store at Hampden ind called for a dollar's worth of alco hol, and received the same. He also asked for a drink of whiskey and re ceived that. The formality of signing the usual blank was not gone through with. Evans says that he then went to his office in the elevator, made a fire and mixed himself two or three drinks of the alcohol. After a while McGroth, or McCaffrey as some called him, step ped into the office and begged for a drink. Evans was beginning to feel sick bht did not. suspect the cause. He directed the visitor to help himself from the bottle. Evans went to bed and the other man, it appears, drank (he entire contents of the bottle be fore stopping. That same night he was taken sick and died the next day —Monday night. The corpse was stretched out in the section house that night, guarded by citizens, and on the following day an inquest was held in one of the livery barns. The coroner's jury rendered a verdict that the deceased's death re sulted from alcoholic poisoning, or from something similar thereto. No post mortem examination was held, though several citizens made a demand for one. McCaffrey's body was buried at Devils Lake on Wednesday. Meantime Evans was still very sick and is yet in that condition. He de termined to come here and according- ly, as above stated, arrived last even ing and is now staying at a local hos pital.

FORTY CARS OF STONE ("'real Northern in Fire Proof Every Bridge oil lis System—Forty Cars of Hock Here for lTse on Tills Divis ion—Work Ilegnii on Itridgc Here. The loss or damage of many of its bridges through falling embers from the fire-pans of engines settinit lire to tiie ties itnd beams, has ovnscd the C.ivat iVii tliern to take_steps to pre vent fuhjre damage fr.i.n this soum and accordingly orders hsiv iieen sent over the entire system that the beds of all wooden bridges shall lie lire proofed. Work on this division has already begun and something like forty cars of crushed stone—for that is the ma terial used in fire-proofing—have ar rived and been distributed at points.' where the numerous brulges are lo cated. There are between seventy-live and a hundred bridges oi different size and description on the Grand Forks division that will be affyetea by the ol der. The bridge which spans the Ked" River at this point is to lie repaired at once and the material for (ire-proof ing has been unloaded. The system to be used in making bridges immune from danger by lire is that of blocking in .letwuen the ties and covering the whole with lineiy crushed rock and gravel, a depth (,'f say four or five inches, sutflcient at all events, to conceal the timbers. Thus when red hot coal or clinkers drop from the fire-box of an eiigine, there is no opportunity for damage to result. COLLEGE CONFEUEXC'JE.
