DISTRESSING ACCIDENT.
Sudden Death OF Mrs. Ada Hall.

Sudden Death OF Mrs. Ada Hall.
One of those sad events which occasion
ally aff1ict every community, and cause
deep and universal mourning. occurred
here on Thursday evening last, resulting
in the sudden death of Mrs. Ada Hall,
wife of Samuel r. Hall, and lady who
was universally loved and esteemed by
all.
In the evening Mrs. Hall, and her
daughter Edna, aged six years, and Mrs.
Holloway and her mother, rode south on
Commercial street to the vicinity of So
den's mill, in the express wagon used at
Mr.. Halls store. On their return, about
dusk, they met wagon on which was n
hay rack, coming aL rapid speed and
making good deal of noise. The ladies
turned out of the road on the right, close
to which there was a deep gully. The
brute who was driving the hay wagan,
I'VE can call him by no milder term) },
paid no attention to the other team, CIV
ing no part of the road, and not even
stopping to help the ladies after the acct
dent. When the hay wagon was oppo-
site the horse driven by the ladies he
stopped and began to back, evidently from
fear that he would be hit by the project
ing parts of the hay ladders. He soon
ran the express wagon into the ditch,
completely turning it upside down and
breaking it to pieces. The little girl
jumped out and was uniujured- In fall
ing it is thought Mrs. Hall struck the
wheel and received fatal internal iDju
ries. Mrs. Holloway and her mother
were not badly injured. The latter, al
though able to walk. was insensible fol
some hours. Soon after the cident Val
r. Holmes came by with his buggy anC
| brought Mrs. Hall to the city. On frs
discovering her, she said, MIR. Holmes,
am killed, and want TO get home before
die" She suffered intensity, and died il
about five hours after the accident, sur
rounded by her srieF-stricken family ana
relatives.
The announcement of this sad affa
over the city on Friday morning cast
gloom over all. Mrs. Hall was noted TO
her many excellent womaEly qualities O
head and heart. She was an old resi-
dent, having taught school in this neigh
borhood for several years before she maj
ried Mr.. Hall, seven yeors ago. She ha
been a member of the Christian chure
for fifteen years.
Her funeral was preached Friday q
ternoon at the Baptist church by Rev. a
p. Stewart, pastor of the church Of whie
she was q member. Her remains weT
{ followed to the grave by large num6e
of relatives and friends, the processio
being one ofthe largest we have ever see
| in this city. She leaves behind hui
band and two children, together with re
atives and friends, who IN ourn her d
@ parture. These have the heartfelt syn
patty OF all in bearing up under thfs des
affection, which has taken from the hon
3 mother, Allowing wife, and an affectio
ate sister. May they receive comfort fro
. the source which can only give them trl
= consolation.

BASE BALL.

The champion game OF base ball be-
tween the Resolutes OF Council Grove,
and the Frontiers OF Emporia, took place
at the grounds Of the latter in the soHth-
west portion Of the city, on Tuesday AZ
ternoOn last. The game commenced at
2 O'Clock u. nj. and continued three hours
and a half, at which time the score stood
II to 90, in favor OF the EmpOria boys.
Both clubs appeared in full uniform and
ready for business. The play began with
rather i'll success for the Frontiers, who,
during the first part OF the game, were
steadily beaten by the Resolutes. But
during the last four innings they got
down to their work and regained their
losses and came out victors. Though both
played well, the Resolutes exhibited the
most skill and the best training. They
were evidently determined to win IL hard
work could do it, and their captain
worked his men with as much energy
and spirit as though he were command
ing corps In an engagement This Is
the second time within n few weeks that
these two clubs have met, and the second
time the Frontiers have been victorious.
Our boys can learn lesson from the sys-
tematic way in which the Council Grove
boys worked. Let the Frontiers practice
more and they will be ''hard to beat.'
They played well, but they might have
played better.
} The following is the record OF tn,
game:

BACK AGAIN.-Billy Starr, the halt
breed who is in jail for breaking in
to Morris & Bottger's store, while ont
with the jallor one evening last week,
broke away and made his escape. The
other morning conductor Hobbs saw
HIM board the early train at the Jnction
depot. He informed Sheriff Bay of this,
and Billy was oVerhauled at Usage
City, through the instrumentality of q
telegram to that point, and is now in
his old quarters under the court house.
Some now suppose he Is the chap who
broke into the store at Americas, and
that he came down the track that
night and boarded the train here. The
same night the NJ, Il. Sc T. depot was
burned, and it is now question wheth-
er it was set on fire or struck by light
ming. Night policeman Bond was
watching a couple of "chickens" in the
alley back of loves livery stable at
the time the depot was discovered to
be on fire. They had come from that
and acted suspiciously. 1t
was so dark that Mr.. Bond could not
tell who they were. Maybe our little
half breed "rooster" could tale I'M
fold if he were so minded. That there
are lot of thieves and night providers
about here there is no doubt, and the
people should keep 4 close watch. 1t
Is thought by some that the depot
might have been set on fire to create
rush out there, while the thieves were
making "haul'' in the city.

STARvED.-The carcass OF the horse Of
Mr.. Bell, OF Americas, which was stolen
ON the streets here about two weeks ago,
in broad daylight, was found the other
day in HATS timber, near the city. 1t
had been hitched TO tree by the thief,
who probably abandoned 1t from fear Of
being overtaken. 1t had evidently starv'
ed to death.

SOMETHING ABOUT GOING EAsT.-The
shortest possible route between the Great
West and the East, North Snd South, is
over the st. Louis, Kansas City and
Northern Short Line. This road has gain.
ed surprising Importance by reason of
immense expenditures in the last two
years, of over two millions dollars, be-
sides earnings, in improvements of road
way, in re-laying their line with best
quSlity of new steel and iron rails, on
broad new ties, and by substituting for
ordinary cars, new reclining chair coaches,
elegantly carpeted and fitted, with dress
ing rooms with toilet conyeniences for Ia
dies, gentlmen and families travelling with
children, toithoat any extra charge. This
line runs six fast express trains between
the Missouri and Mississippi rivers, two
more than any other road, and connects
with all the great through lines East,
West, North aud South. It is remarkably
exempt from accidents by reason of adopt
ing every modern appliance for comfort,
speed and safety, including night and day
watehmen, who inspect the road before
and after the passage Of each train to see
that everything is secure. We recon-
mend those contemplating trip East to
take the st. Louis, Kansas City & North
ern Short Line, either through st. Louis,
the great metropolis Of over 100000 in-
habitants. or through Chicago, via the
Chicago 81 Alton short line, over the Louis
lana Bridge, open for passage Of through |
