The Brotherhood of Railway Train men has perfected a program to be observed Oct. 13, trainmen's day at the World's fair. The evening of Oct. 12 there will be a ball and re ception in the Second Regiment ar mory, Washington boulevard and Curtiss streets. Mayor Harrison will be among the speakers. John Finlayson of Mt. Carroll. 111., aged S.", and J. S. Davidson, aged 91, of Steilarton. Nova Scotia, said to be the oldest c.inductor and loconiolive engineer, respectively, in the world, will be present. Those two men ran a train over ;"i) years ago pulled by Sampson, the locomotive now on ox hibition at the World's fair. It is the intention of the trainmen to have Sampson steamed up and lot Messrs. Finlayson and Davidson take one more ride, though of necessity a hort one. on their old-time locomo tive.

Judge Allen, in the United States circuit court has appointed C. II. Bos worth, of Sringtield. and K. F.Uery Anderson, of New York, receivers of the Jacksonville Southeastern rail road. Bosworth is general manager of the St. Louis & Chicago road. " Under a now revival of an old rul ing of the postofliee department, rail way postal clerks arc not allowed to carry persons, not properly author ized ami passed, in their railway pos tal cars. This has been done in the jiast in a good many cases, and in this manner the railroads have lost fares for which thev should have been paid. The new ruling, however, goes several stcjis further, and says that even duly authorized and passed po.-tal clerks are not to be car ried ia cars unless thev are regularly on duty oil that part of the line. The railroads have little to com plain of in the way of passenger bus iness these days, at least the business being done m this line should have a tendency to sidetrack complaints. The systems, both oast and west, have fared well, and the good times have not passed. The Iowa roads have had their hands full the past few day carrying thousands to the World's fair, -and they will be money in pocket by returning them. It is estimated that . (Hi;) people from that state were carried to Chicago to attend the Iowa day celebration. F. ven at the half-rate fare which pre vailed this means a snug sum for the roads. I. oral Note. Kinsley Mack, of ihe Burlington, is off for a few day's recreation. Will Street and Fred Hillier are in Chicago viewing the sights at the fair. F. W. Sherman has gone to Un fair, and in the meantime Milnor Custer is working in his place. Fred Copp of the (J. ollico force is back again at his desk after a jdeas ant vacation spent at Chicago. Rube Kane's smiling face is once more seen at the R. 1. A: P. cashier's desk after a few days spent at tin fair. Conductor Brookbank. of the R.

A hi put a t lou N ecexsary. Leo J. Deiscnroth has been suffer ing from a tumor in one of his limbs for some time. It has been operated upon unsuccessfully, anddiis physi cians state that an amputation of the limb near the thigh is necessary to cheek the tumorous growth. Mr. Deiscnroth has decided to undergo the surgical operation the tirst of the week, which will be performed by Drs. Middleton. of Davenport, anil Ludewig, of this city. He passed the civil service examination held on August 5th for mail carrier, being a bright and energetic young man and the affliction which has befallen him is lamentable in the extreme. Harry Feterson, a Carrier of The Arena, Meets With a Painful Accident. Harry Peterson, a 13-year old boy, living on Tenth avenue and Elm street, and a carrier of The Argus, met with what might have been a serious accident last evening at about 4:30 o'clock as he was about to start out on his route. He attempted to jump upon a Penn Tank Line oil wagon driven by George Hanson on Second avenue near Seventeenth street, and his left foot slipped and in some way was caught in the spokes of one of the hind wheels. The little fellow uttered a frantic scream which attracted the driver's attention and as soon as possible he stopped the horses. II. I). Folsom was one of the tirst on the scene and found it necessary to cut off the shoe and the wheel had to be taken partly off before the foot could be released. He was taken into Folsom's jewelry store and Dr. Asay was sent for. In the meantime the patrol wagon was sent for to take the boy home, but when it arrived he refused to go in it saying he feared his folks would think ho was seriously injured. George Schniedcr then kindly offered the use of his horse and buggy which was accepted. Ollicer F.lzcl drove the little sufferer home. Kxti-nt of the Injuries i.r. Asay louint mat there were no Indies broken, but that the limb from the knee down was badly bruised and sprained. Had not the driver slopped when he did the limb might hae been fearfully broken and probably pulled from its socket; as it is it w ill be some time before he is able to be about again. It is one of those too often unheeded lessons to boys who are in the habit of hang ing onto wagons and cars. Our fall Stock THAT ST. PAUL FAILURE. Something; More Keffnrding; 1 1 Harwell') Popularity. When the Ainu s of spoke of no Rock Island j connected with the St. I Mast, Buford & Burwell. yesterday . ojde being j mil firm of it referred I more particularly to the Buford! member of the firm. The St. Paul house was started by the Messrs. Buford, but they afterward sold out. John R. Warner, formerly of Rock Island, was secretary of the firm, however, and his many friends here will regret the misfortune that has come upon his business interests. A IWioil l.iver. A dispatch says that Mr. Burwell has not been soon in St. Paul since some time Wednesday night, when, it is stated, he had "an altercation with Victor Robinson, the assignee. It is stated that he is out of town. An attachment was issued on all his property on application of C. N. Bel las, attorney for the carriage com yany. The senior member of the tirm and' its largest capitalist is P. P. Mast, of Springfield. Ohio. Nothing that has occurred here in years has so agitated Ihe business community. Jules H. Burw ell w as easily the most popular man in St. Paul, and he was considered one of its brightest young business men. Last year he was president of the State" Agricultural society, and because of his great ability as an organizer, he was last June selected as the manager of the great Hill railway oelchraticn. He was one d the city's leading Free Masons and was a central figure in all the enterprise calculated to add glory to the name of St. Paul. Mr. Burwell was w hat is know n as a good liver." but he had never been charged with wasting money in de bauches. He has an elegant house at 1003 Summit avenue, and has al ways moved in tirst social circles. i An Kxtniordiaary tiuiue. An extraordinary treat awaits the lovers of the national game in Rock Island in the coming of the Bostons and traveling competitors, the All Americans. Wednesday. Oct. 4 The, 3-time champions of" the National league, the Bostons, are making a triumphal tour of the northwest. To insure a good game in every city that is fortunate enough to secure a visit from this distinguished aggregation: of base ball talent, an opposing team has been selected to travel with the victorious club, picked from the best plavers in the National league as hitherto published.
