by the Supreme Court that while the
Legislature may authorize Chancery
Courts to grant general charters, they
cannot create special charters; that
Chancery Courts cannot create corpora

such courts only ministerial powers by
a general act.

The completion of the great iron
bridge over the Missouri River at
BoonvilIe, enables this popular line
to offer still better facilities for the
business between the Northeast and
the great Southwest.
Two daily trains will be run be-
tween Hannibal and points in the
great Neosho valley, in direct con
nection with all lines. Also, two
daily trains between st. Louis and
points in Southern Kansas.
For the Texas trade, new and bet
ter facilities are offered. The rates
have been greatly reduced, and ar
rangements have been made whereby
through Pullman palace sleeping cars
are run from Chicago, Quincy, Han
nibal and st. Louis, to Galveston,
without change, passing through the
finest portion of Southwest Missouri,
Southern Kansas, the Indian Nation
and the most desirable portion Of
Texas.
Any one contemplating a trip to
Southern Kansas, the Indian Nation
or Texas, should address TBoMAs
DoRwIS, general passenger agent,
Sedalia, Mo-, for a correct map, with
time tables, rates Of fare, &c. 1882

It is Not Generally Known

That the shortest possible route between the East
and Great West is through st. Louis, over the 81
Louis, Kansas City and Northern Short Line.
This road has gained surprising importance by
reason of immense expenditures in the last two
years, of over two million dollars, besides earnings
in improvements of roadway, in relaying their
line with best quality of new steel and iron rails
on broad new ties and by substituting for ordinary
reclining chair coaches, elegantly carpeted
and fitted with dressing rooms with toilet conven-
fences for ladies, gentlemen and families travelling
with Children l7it,Oist any extra charge. This line
runs six fast Express trains between the Missis-
sippi and the Missouri Rivers, two more than any
other road, and connects with all the great Land
Grant Roads in the West, and has adopted allmOd-
ern appliances for comfort, speed and safeguards
against accidents, including night and day watch
men, who inspect the road before and after the
passage of each train to see that everything is in
order We recommend those contemplating trip
West to take the St. Louis, Kansas City and North
ern Short Line, it being the only line running
through cars between st. Louis and Omaha, and
for tickets over this excellent line refer our
readers to any ticket agent selling through tickets
to the West. For map, circulars and time tables
address either Geo. D. Teller, Buffalo, N. Y; or
P. B. Groat, st Louis, Mo-, either Of whom will
furish any information desired

Collision at Birchard Avenue Cross
ing, on the L. S. & NJ. s. R. R.-Frs-
mont was alarmed on Tuesday evening by the
report that there had been collision on the
railroad near the depot. It proved that the
second section of 81 freight train was standing
on the main track taking water, when the
Norwalk accommodation freight came round
the curve with 30 cars laden with coal and
machinery, at pretty lively rate. There be-
being no Aagman in view, the engineer, Mr..
Mcclure, did not see the standing train until
nearly around the curve, too late to pull up.
Every effort was made, however, and the
speed very much abated, but sharp collision
took place. Fortunately the draw bar Of the
engine came fair in contact with that Of the
caboose on the standing train, or the result
must have been very much worse. As it was,
one car was very badly smashed, next to the
caboose, and one end of it, together with the
machinery on It, for a new saving mill, were
driven against the caboose, breaking in the
end of it. The engine ef the approaching
train escaped injury almost entirely, as also
the car next to it, but the succeeding three
cars. laden with huge boilers were fearfully
smashed and two of the boilers thrown of, be-
sides several lesser pieces of machinery. One
car had the trucks completely taken from un-
der it, and the bed of it, like large floor shot
clear over the preceding car, sandwiching,
IS it were, another large boiler. Altogether,
the wreck was pretty rough, but a number of
section men, under Mr.. G.. Houghtou, assisted
By the conductors and engineers of the trains,
had the track cleared for the passage of trains
soon after nine o'clock. As to who was in
fault-the flag man was not at his post, and
the train was being run faster than the law
allows but as that is a very common practice
with all trains, it cannot be regarded as ex-
ceptional in this case. Fortunately no lives
vera lost

Two freight trains on the C. C. c. x /
railroad, collided near Wellington, on Tues
day morning Of last week. The front train
was running slow to kill time, and the other
ran into it in the fog. George Hslsey' the
conductor Of the first train, was killed instant
" in the attempt to jump from the cabOose.

the spot, the engineer caught sight Of the
body, whistled, and endesvored to pull up
his train, but it was too late, and the unfortu-
nate gentleman was cut to pieces.

Suicide of an Old Man.-Christophe
Fisher, dweller in the county house, but oc-
casionally visitor with acquaintance in
jackson township, started several weeks ago
to pay his usual visits. During these period
ical visits he put up generally with Daniel
Overmeyer, as he did this last time. After
remaining some days, he concluded to return
to the county house, or at least so announced
on Thursday the 9th ult. After eating, he
bade the folks good bye and left the house.
On Friday last Mr.. Overmeyer being in town,
saw the Superintendent Of the poor house and
inqnired after Fisher, but was told that he
had not returned. This was the first intima-
ton of anything wrong, and on the following
morning Mr.. Overmeyer and some neighbors
proceeded TO search for him, and at last dis
covered what was left of him hanging to a
sycamore tree in Mr.. Overmeyer's corn field,
his knees resting on the ground, and showing
that he had determinedly met death Itwould
seem that after leaving the house, he went to
the barn and procured rope, which, howev-
er, was too short. He then peeled some bark
and splicing it TO the rope tied it to the limb
of the tree, but it did not prove strong enough
and broke. He then procured more bark and
selecting another limb, swung himself OF
successfully. When found, he was SO badly
decayed, that all that could be done was to
gather the remains into e box and bury them
in the woods. He was about 70 years old and
had no reIatives or friends in the neighbor-
hood.

On the announcement of the sudden death of
Miss Haynes yesterday morning, our community
was shocked and startled There were but few
who knew of her brief illness, and none that had
the least thought that she was at all dangerous;
and when the unexpected news was circulated it
was hard to convince any one that Blanche Haynes
was no more, end deep tones of sorrow and regret
were expressed that one of our fairest and bright
est ornaments Of society had departed this life
Miss Haynes was young lady of unusual bright
ness aud ability and had endeared herself to many
warm friends in this ci,y, and we can only grieve
with the afflicted parents and sorrow with her
many friends at her untimely death.-Fort Scott
