Railroad Accident I'm Missouri.

ST. LOUIS, April At appears that the
accident on the st. Louis and Southeastern
railroad, which occurred at the French VIII
lage Yesterday afternoon, was occasioned by
the culpable carelessness Of the conductor Of
the construction train. The passenger train
was Just about TO take side-track to let the
freight train pass, when the construction
train, which had been passed by the passen-
ger train ut the dirt-pile but q few moments
beforehand its conductor must have known
of it, proximity-came laundering around
the curve at & high rate Of speed and plunged
into the rear coach of the passenger train.
The conductor of the latter train saw the
construction train coming, and cried out to
The passengers to jump for their lives. Many
dld so, but before all could escape the engine
al the construction train had entered the
passenger coach.
The latter was immediately filled with
steam, and q number of the passengers were
more or less scalded. Mrs. John p. Lusk
Tor Luke. Of Morgan county, No.. while 10
the act OF jumping from the train. was caught
between the cars and crushed to death. Her
