HfcNECDOTE OF ABRAHAM LINCOLN.

MmUnm la Permitting Men to be Shot foe Cowardice—His "Le([ Cases." Tri the earlier years of the war, all the death penalties of court-martial had to be sent up to the president, as commander-in-chief, for approved. When Judge Holt, the judge advocate general of the army, laid the first case before the president, he replied, "Well, I will beep this a few days until I have more time to read tho testimony." That seemed quite treasonable. When the judge explained the next case Mr. Lincoln said, "I must put this by until I can settle in my mind whether this soldier can better serve the country dead than living." To the third he answered, "The general commanding the brigade is to be here in a few days I will wait and talk the matter over with him." Finally there was a very flagrant case of a soldier who, in the crisis of battle, demoralized his regiment by his cowardice, throwing down his gun and hiding behind a friendly stump. The court-martial found that ho had neither father nor mother living, nor wife nor child that he was unfit •to wear tho loyal uniform, and that ho •was a thief who stole continually from his comrades. "Hero," said Judge Holt, "is a case which comes exactly within your requirements. He does not deny his guilt be will better serve his country dead than living, he has no relations to mourn for tiim] and ho is not fit to be in the ranks of patriots." Mr. Lincoln's refuge of excuse was «11 swept away. Judge Holt expected he would write "approved" on tho paper but the president, running his long fingers through his hair, as he so often did when in anxious thought, replied: ''Well, after all, judge, I think I must put this with my leg coses." "Leg cases 1" said Judge Holt, with a Irown at this supposed levity of tho president la .a caseof life or death "what do you mean tjy leg cases,' sir?" "Why, why," replied Mr. lineoln, "do you see those papers crowded into those pigeon holes? They, are the cases that you call by that long title, 'Cowardice

In the face of the enemy but I call them, for abort, my 'leg cases.' But I put it to you, Judge, and leave it for you to decide for yourself: if Almighty God gives a man a cowardly pair of .legs, how can ho help their run' viag away with him?"—Hon. Schuyler ColSax in Rice's Reminiscences of Abraham Lincoln.

fr Quite an Embarrassing Situation. A rather comical adventure befell two very stylish young American married ladies the other day on the boulevards. They set out to take a stroll and to look at the shops, and while slowly making their way along the crowded thoroughfare they were struck by the amount of attention that they excited. People stopped and gazed at them, and altogether they felt themselves quite the success of the afternoon. Suddenly one of them chanced to look around and realized the situation. "Good gracious, Kitty!"' she gasped, *we are walking between two of the sandwich men of tho Paris Casino—we are being taken for advertising women!" The sudden way in which my pretty young countrywoman disappeared down the nearest side street cau better be imagined than described. —Paris Cor. Philadelphia Telegraph.

The Proposed New Athenaeum Lilirarj New Postoffice. rSpecial CorreaponilenceJj

MINNEAPOLIS, Jan. 1".—'Twenty-five year ago the idea of a library was broached by the members of tii? Athenaeum, a private association of this city. Money was needed, and was obtained from lectures and entertainments, Bayard Taylor being one of the lecturers. A fair collection of books was mode, and gradually added to. Sinco that time legislation and individual enterprise have been active, and now, by a happy co-opera-tion of the Athenaeum and the city council, •access is assured.

NEW POSTOFFICE, MINNEAPOLIS. The building, which is already well under way, will consist of three stories and a base* ment, and will be composed mainly of brick, Iron and stone. Wood will enter into its construction as little as possible, as the intention is to make it strictly fireproof. The first floor and basement will be divided into compartments for tho storage oi' books and for reading rooms. It is expected that tho Academy of Science will occupy the second floor, with its several collections illustrative of the natural sciences. The third story is to be particularly well lighted, so that it can bo used for various art and studio purposes. Tho lot on which the building is to stand was bought for $03,867, and the contracts for all the inside and outside work amount to $112,009, making a total of $175,807.

The Athenaeum now possesses more than 14,000 volumes, wbich will be turned over to the general library, their ownership, however, being retained by the association. In the acquirement of new books it seems to bo the idea that the association will expend its funds in the purchasing of works of reference, whilo the money raised by the library board will be devoted to the accumulation of works of a general literary character.

ATHENJBUM LIBRARY, MINNEAPOLIS. The library board consists of nine members, and the"gentlemen who will first serve on it are Professor S. Oftedohl, Judges Koon and Atwater,* the Messrs. Lowry, Walker and Johnson, and the three ex-officio members, the mayor of the city, the president of the board of education and the president of the State university.

Minneapolis naturally feels proud of the fact that it will be the possessor of so fine a library, and will house it so well. The new postoffice, of which a picture is also given, is another object of justifiable pride. L. C.

A Home for Ex-Convicts.

"You would hardly believe it, but many of our 'boarders' desire to remain, even after their terms have expired," said one of the keepers of the Bangs county penitentiary to a reporter. "Long term prisoners of both sexes in time learn to love their 7x3 feet cells. For instance, in the female department we have two or three life prisoners. These have become so accustomed to the rules and regulations of prison life that I hardly think they would escape if an opportunity were offered them. As you see, they have decorated and furnished their cells, and have evi dently made up their minds that they havo come to stay. And then there is another class of prisoners, who, knowing that they would be unablo to earn an honest living outside, prefer to remain here where they receive good treatment and enough to eat."

Said a prominent Brooklyn police official: "I have long contended that a home should be provided for ex-convicts, where they could go when released and earn an honest living. Such a home could bo established on the outskirts of Brooklyn or New York or any other largo city. Tho men, and in fact the women, could bo employed in manufacturing industries, and thus be free from the blackmail levied by their fellow convicts." "How blackmail?" tho reporter asked. "I will tell you. Convicted felohs desiring to reform often travel many miles from the scenes of their primes. They are unable to obtain work unless they suppress the fact that they have been in prison. I know many instances in which convicts, having settled in some western city where they were leading an honest life, have been tracked and exposed by fellow convicts. Such men have been compelled to pay heavy blackmail or else be exposed and disgraced. In case a man, an ex-convict, has been leading a straight life for five years in a town where he has made new friends and new associations it is rather hard that he should be compelled to lose everything simply because at one timo in his existence he has,been crooked. Men of this stamp who have been exposed give up all hope and return to their former life."—Brooklyn Eagle.

Fifty Lives Tb(/Ught to Have Been Lost in an Appalling Wreck.

A Passenger Train Leaps Sixty Feet Down a Bridge.—Fire Adds to the Terrors.

SPRINGFIELD, Mass., Feb. 5.—The night express train for Montreal, which left here at 8:15 o'clock last night, ran off the bridge at Woodstock, Vermont two miles north of White Biver Junction, and the sleeping and passenger oars and bridge were entirely burned. It is reported that there area large number of persons injured. The number of killed and burned is also reported to be large. Conductor Sturtevant was fatally burned. The accident occurred probably between one and two o'clock this morning on the Central Vermont road.

TB*Y, N. Y., Feb. 5.—It is reported here that there were sixteen persons killed in the aocident last night on the Vermont Central railroad near White River Junction.

SPRINGFIELD, Mass., Feb. 5.—'The accident to the Montreal express at Woodstock bridge assumes frightful proportions as further particulars are learned. The train was the Boston & Montreal express on the Vermont Central railroad with connections at White River Junotion with the Montreal express from Springfield, one sleeping car and one passenger coach from which are attached to the Boston & Montreal train. Frank Wesson, son of P. B, Wesson, of this city, of the firm of Smith & Wesson, pistol manufacturers, was killed, and it is reported that the loss of life is large. At this hour (9:15 A. M.) no further particulars can be obtained.

CONCORD, Feb. 5.—The reports of the accident on Woodstock bridge at West Hartford, Vermont, were of a, very.indefinite character, owing probably to the distance of the scene of the wreck from a place whence direct communication could be had. All reports agree, however, that the accident is a very serious one. At first it was reported that fifty persona had been killed, and in fact this statement has not yet been refuted. The last report that came direct from White River Junction says that ten bodies have already been taken from the wreck and that a number of injured passengers are being taken to the nearest place of shelter. More definite information will probably be obtained in a short time.

BOSTON, Mass., Feb. 5.—A despatch from Bradford, Vt., to the Associated Press says: "The night express which left White River Junction bound for Montreal, filed with passengers from Boston and New York for thti carnival, was wrecked at the first crossing of the White river. A rail broke and the en gine, one baggage car. two passenger coaches and two sleeping cars plunged over the bridge, sixty feet into the river. Before the engineer or. anyone could get to the wreck the cars had caught fire and burned. The bridge also was burned and inside of twenty minutes all were destroyed. It is estimated that fifty persons were killed. Henry Tuxbury, of West. Randolph, Vt.* a wellknown lecturer, is among those killed.

HANOVER, N. H., Feb. 5.—Word has been received here that Edward F. Dillon, of Springfield, Vt., was killed in the railroad wreok. He was a member of the sophomore class at Dartmouth and pitcher for tbe University nine. A. B. Veasie, a classmate, was with him, but he escaped uninjured.

SPRINGFIELD, Maes,, Feb.' 5.—The train consisted of one sleeping car and a passenger coach £pom here, one Chicago sleeper connected at White River Junction, one Boston sleeping car, one mail car from Boston and one other passenger coach, one baggage and one express car.

Frank L. Wesson, who was killed was about 35 years of age and leaves a wife and four children. He married the daughter of John Lovell, of Montreal, and was a brother-in-law of John W. Lovell, the New York publisher. He intended to leave for Montreal yesterda" morning by the day express, but there being no parlor car attached to the tram he deferred his departure until 8:15 last night, taking the sleeping car through to Montreal. He was accompanied by his lister-in-law, Miss Lovell, who was returning t» ber home in Montreal. Ik is understood that she was not seriously injured.

The latest reports received here state that the number of killed reaches twenty and that about as many more were injured.

THE FTRRA PAFCTICULARS.

NEW YORE, Feb, 5.—The following is' a fall account of the railroad accident as received by the Associated Press: I

CONCORD, N. H., Feb. 5.—The express rain that left Boston at 7 o'cloek last night met with a terrible accident near Woodstock on the Central Vermont railroad at about 2:30 o'clock this morn-1 Jrsi

ing. The train started from this city on time, but was detained at White River Junction, so it was about an hour and a half late when it left there. It consisted of a locomotive, baggage oar, postal car, two passenger coaches and two sleeping cars, aud was running at the usual rate of speed. When about 200 yards south of the end of the Deck Bridge near the old Windsor sta ion a broken rail struck. The locomotive, baggage car and postal car broke away from the rest of the train, passing over the bridge in safety, ^he rest of the train was thrown from the rails and continued on the road bed until it oame near the end of the bridge, but there it ran over the abutment and all of the cars fell into the White River, some fifty feet below.

The gorge at this point is frightful and when the cars went down there was a terrible crash. As soon as possible the detached part of the train was stopped and ran back to the scene of the disaster. The screams of the in jured were heartrending. Assistance also came from the people giving in the vicinity and everything was done to res cue and relieve the injured. Soon after help arrived it was discovered that fire had started in the first passenger coach and soon the entire train was ablaze, thus adding anew horror to the already frightful catastrophe. Those present were powerless to stop the fire and devoted themselves entirely to attempting to rescue those imprisoned in the wreok.

The rescuers met another and an uir expected obstacle in the heat, which had become so intense that they were obliged to relinquish their efforts to save the sufferers and were compelled to retreat to a place of safety for themselves and to beoome unwilling and hor-ror-stricken witnesses of the awful holocaust. In addition to this and to add to the terrors and sufferings of the passengers, the weather was intensely cold and the heroic rescuers were hindered thereby in their work. No water could be obtained with whioh to check or extinguish the flames. The ice was sever al inches thick on the river and there were no appliances at hand to raise it.

Ira A. Chase, of Bristol, was at White River Junction when the news of the disaster was received. He went to the wreck on a special tram. He says the accident occurred at about 2:15 A. M. A broken rail was discovered some 200 feet this side of the bridge, but whether this caused tbe accident or a wheel first broke is in doubt. The locomotive and baggage and mail cars crossed tbe bridge in safety. Two passenger ooaohes, -the Boston sleeping oar "Pilgrim" and the Springfield sleeper "St Albans" went off the bridge at the end of the right hand

Bide

and apparently turned bot

tom side up in the fall. Men li\ ing near ,by state that when they got to the scene there was oo fire except in the forward car, but the flames soon spread to the other cars and then to the bridge. All were consumed. Twenty-six persons, eo far as known, were taken out alive from the cars which were burned. Two of these are understood to be Mr. Wesson, the pistoi manufacturer, of Springfield, andEd Brockelbanks, a brakeman, but they died soon after.

The two passenger ooachse were Wellfilled and every berth in the Boston sleeping cars was occupied and twelve in tbe one from Springfield, making the total number of passengers in the wrecked cars about eighty. This will probably make the number of dead between fifty and sixty. Tbe bridge was between 40 and 50 feet above the water which was covered with thick ice, making it probable that death resulted from crushing and burning rather than from drowning. Several were penned up in the wreck who might have been rescued alive but for the flames. Brakeman Parker, who was on the forward end of the first passenger ear, felt the jar and saved his life by jamping. He quickly secured a conveyance and carried the news to White River Junction.

An occupant of the Boston sleeper, whose name oould not be ascertained, passed through Conoord this afternoon. He said the oar was full, every berth being occupied. The train was late cut of White River Junctjon and when it left it had the sleeper from Springfield besides a passenger car. He thinks it must have been about 2:10 o'clock in the morning when he was awakened by the quivering of tbe car as if it was off the rails. This movement he noticed but a short time, when he became con scious that the coach had gone over the abutment of the bridge and was sinking with frightful rapidity. To add to h's consternation the car turned upsiddown and when it struck the ice in th" river the top crushed in.

He occupied the lower berth and by almost euperhuman efforts succeeded in extricating himself from the wreck. He was well acquainted with the occupant of the upper berth, a Boston gentleman, and as quickly as possible set himself at work to relieve his friend. He worked with energy and by kind words cheered him, but his efforts proved unsuccessful and he was finally driven away by the flames and became an involuntary witness of the horrible death of his companion, who was burned before his eyes. He saw quite a number of "persons rescued, many with several bruises and burns, but few bodies had been taken out when he left. At that time it was impossible to ascertain the names or the number of the victims. He expressed the belief, however, that not mote chan thirty persons were killed. The railroad bridge took fire from the wreck and was totally destroyed. The accident is the most terrible of any thyt ever occurred in northern New Jblng land.

A PASSENGER'S STORY.

WHITE RIVER JUNCTION, Vt .Feb. 5— When the relief train from White River Junction reached the wreck the pro-' gress of the flame* had been eo rapid that the bridge and four cars had been practically destroyed. A few burning timbers were seen and the iron work of the bridge was soattered over the ground. The only house near the scene was that of Thomas Pmgree, a farmer,

and had it not been for his hospitality some of the injured would doubtless have perished from exposure. The baggage and mail cars afforded accomodations for a number of the wounded.

Charles M. Hosmer, of Lowell, Mass., who was on the train, states that he was in a Central Vermont sleeping oar. He says: "I can remember twenty-one others were in the car with me. I knew none of them personally. There were five ladies among them. I was awakened by the bumping of the oar. Then came the crash and all was darkness and confusion. I do not remember hearing any screaming, but there were moans and calls for help. I found myself pinned down by a seat which lay across my hips, but I broke the window in s6me way, I cannot tell how. I worked out on the ioe. I should think the cars dropped fifty-live feet. The other three cars were also on the ioe, having broken away from the forward part of the train. My clothing, with the exception of my shirts and socks, was torn from me in getting out. I lost everything else that I had with me. A gentleman who occupied the berth next to me was struggling in the ruins and 1 succeeded in extricating him. There was also a lady in the ruins and underneath me vhom we succeeded in saving. She *va« almost naked when we had taken her out. It was necessary to tear her olothing off to get her out. She proved to be Mrs. Pryden, of Montreal. I think I was the first persen to get out. A Mr. Hutchms, of Braintree, Vt, escaped and assisted in paving others. I worked until I was so chilled I could do nothing more. In a few moments after the crash the cars took fire and amid the flames, wbich lapped on to the bridge and illuminated the valley for a long distance, those who were unable to esaape could be seen in the embrace of death. I cannot even now realize the terrible aspect of the scene. Flames burst out. I could see passengers calling for help. I walked or rather crawled to a house where I got some clothing. Out of the twenty-two in my car I personally know that nine at least were saved. Mrs. Pryden was seriously injured in the back. I saw two of those in my car in the flames." j,
