THE MISSOURI PACIFIC.
for the Late Collision
The Freight Conductor Arrested

The Freight Conductor Arrested
ST. LOUIS, May 1.-THE evidence before
the Coroners Jury to-day, very plainly
showed that the extra freight train which
coilided with the passenger train at Eureka
Thursday morning, was running outside OF
instructions, and had used from ten to
fifteen minutes more of the extra train
time than special orders had allotted to it.
The conductor and engineer of the extra
train swore that they run precisely accord
ing to orders, and if there was any mistake
it arose from the difference in the watches.
The weight of evidence is strongly against
them, however, and the Coroner ordered
the arrest of William Odor, Conductor, and
lie was placed in the calaboose.
The fact that Odor and his engineer
Tracey, left the spot instantly after the
collision, because, as they assert, they
feared personal violence, while the con
ductor and the other employees of the pas
senger train remained and worked nobly
for the relief of the sufferers, is generally
regarded as a consciousness of having
done wrong, and strengthens the belief
that they alone were TO blame for the col
lision
The reported death of A. z. Fleming,
Chief Engineer, of the Tiboo and Neasho
Railroad, is a mistake. He was on the
train but left it at Sedalia. The wounded
generally doing well, and are receiving the
care Of some of the best surgeons and
physicians in the city. The Railroad Com
pany is doing everything possible for their
comfort, and will recompense them for
losses SO far as money can do so without
suit or expense. The remains of the dead
have been placed in metallic cases, and
viii be deposited in the cemetery vault, sub
ject to the order of friends. The pecu-
mary loss by the accident to the rolling
stock is about $50, 600.

D. P. tells the following of the distn-
guished Ohio Senator:
heard an amusing anecdote, in this
connection, of the late Thomas COrwin.
very illustrative of his patient poiteness,
He arrived in Dayton, Ohio, late one
night, very tired from a long stage ride
during the day. The great humorist and
statesman retired to bed, observing as he
did so that some one occupied another bed
in the opposite corner. The Hon. Tom
was soon fast asleep, and snoring ire
mendously. The other traveller bore this
infliction long as human endurance could
go, and then he sang out
ooh sir, sir"
ssHello, hello" cried Tom, sitting up
wildly in bed, ''what is the matter 2"
ooh! sir" exclaimed the sufferer,
''you snore, sir"
sDid snore? demanded COrwin. els
it possible2 l really beg your pardon,
SIR"
And SO saying, he dropped asleep
again-and again the dreadful snoring
went on.
The poor man in the next bed again
complained.
''Si, sir, oh sir"
81 say, what is t7" responded COrwin.
''You are snoring again, sir"
''Why, really, sir, l am ashamed OF
myself; beg thousand pardons for my
impoliteness.
And again the Senator sought reposei
but the snoring was worse than ever, and
the sufferer once more called attention tC
the offense.
'Look here, sir" cried the Senator
"you have Weakened ME up three times
and twice l have apologized, what more
can gentleman askl Now l am tireC
and sleepy, and if you disturb me again
why, damn it, I'll brain you with boot

TRAGEDY.
A Young MAN Shoots Himself and
~rt His Sweetheart.


New YORK, May ia terrible love and
murder tragedy was enacted at Williams
burg to-day A young man shot himself
and affisnced. s. lvanus Smith had been
paying attentions to Julia Wells, boarding
with family named Depew, No. 63 South
Third street. He had been drinking hard
lately, and the lady decided to discard him.
Yesterday he came to the house pretty well
s'set up" Miss Wells came down stairs to
tell Smith to go, but, seeing his condition,
turned to retreat up stairs, when Smith
drew his revolver and fired, the ball enter
ing the back of the neck, passing up
through and out at the top of her head.
He then placed revolver to his own
head and fired two shots, lodging two bull
let's in his brain. He then attempted to
follow the girl up stairs, fell there, and
tried to fire another shot at his own head,
but his hand was too weak to hold the pis-
tol straight. Medical attendance was OBJ
tanned. The girl is in very precarious
condition. She may recover, but there is
no hope of Smith, though still alive. One
ball has been extracted. Miss Wells is
twenty years of age, very respectable, and
has many personal attractions. She works
in store on Broadway
