HORRIBLE ACCIDENT.
Two Children Killed and q WO
man Seriously. Injured.

Day before yesterday asterrible accident
occurred in Caldwell county, Missouri. The
particulars OF the affair as related by the St.
Joseph Gazette are as follows:
"a Mr.. Weismer, who moved into that
county from Ohio about year ago, hitched
up his team early in the morning, to visit q
neighbor, residing some four miles distant.
and placing his wife and Two children, Tone
of the latter, boy, Elk years old, and the
other a girl of six years.. in the wagon,
sar:ed out. Just as they we're approaching
a branch of Crooked river, and while passing
down steep hill, the horses became fright
ened and started of at full speed. Mr.. w
used every effort to check the animals, bnt
in vain. Before they got to the bottom OF
the hill he was thrown from the
wagon and severely bruised. On reach
ing the branch the team, instead Of
keeping straight over the small bridge that
spann,d il, ran of to the rig. aud the
horses, wagon and contents were precipitsted
a distance of some twelve feet into the
branch. The wagon was smashed to pieces
the team escaped comparatively unhurt. The
saddest part of the affair was with reference
to the family. Mrs. Weismer had four ribs
broken and received other bruises of 90 seri-
Gus character that her life is despaired Of;
the little boy had his neck broken BY the
fall, and the little girls skull was fractured
directly above the left temple. They we're
all conveyed to house about half q mile
distant, and medical attendance summoned,
bu, before the physician arrived the child
died. The mother is now lying in a critical
condition.

STILL UNDER THE ICE.
The Bodies of Sarstedth and
Seyferth Not Yet
Recovered.
A Large Force to Continue the
Search To-day.

Early yesterday morning, large number
of our German citizens started down the
river to search for the bodies Of the two
men Sarstedth and Seyferth, who were
drowned the night before, while attempting
to croes on the rotten ice, the slough below
Slab town. The place where the two unfor.
tunates disappeared was readily found, but
after removing the ice for some distance
around the spot where they broke through
the bodies could not be found.
In the slough which has connection with
the river the ice has been packed several feel
deep, and the work of removing it is attend
ed with extreme difficulty. Nearly hun
dred men and boys were at work all day yes
terday saving places in the ice and dredging
the bottom. The water is very shallow In
deed, except where the men broke through
where it is from twelve to fifteen feet deep
As 1t is impossible for the bodies To drii
into the river tie lost men are known Il
be somewhere under the ice, and the search
will be commenced again to-day.
The relatives of the drowned men are anx
ious that all who can spare the time shou!'
aid them in the search. All the dredgin,
apparatus in the city has been secured ar
every possible effor; will be made ID secur
the bodies. The families Of the drowne
men are wild with grief and refuse to b
consoled. 1t il indeed sad affair, and ha
thrown deep gloom over TIE whole com
munity.

Remtaaauces by Mail.

With all the facilities afforded the people
for transmit ing money with absolute safety,
people will persist in sending money in the
shape of bank-no,es or greenbacks In let,
ters.
Now, with all the chance to which Letter
In the ordinary mail is exposed, it is incon'
ceiyable that man would risk the loss oil
his money in that way, when there are three
practically safe and secure ways of remit
ting ii.
1. BY bank draft, which if stolen is Of
no use to the thief, VINO will very seldom run
the additional risk e forgery and being iden-
tilted. Such drafts. however can only be
Obtained in towns where bank is estab-
lished.
2. By money order This is absolutely
sale, the Govern nent being responsible for
the money. A money order, however, can
only be obtained at money order offices, but
their number il now so great that most small
REMIT ances can be made in this way.
3. By registered letter. This is also a
safe method of sending money or valuabies
through the mails.
This idea we would like TO impress upon
every man, woman and child in the COM
muni.y, "Never send money in letter In
the ordinary way" 1t is not safe, and If
money is lost there is no redress for the
sender.
Either buy draft st the bank or a money
order at the Postcfiice, or have your letter
containing money registered.

MURDER WILL OUT.
The Murderer of Allen Lowe
Proves to be a Boy Six
teen Years Of Age.

Some days ago the Kansas City JouTRa
published an account CT the wart 1nand "ys-
terious murder of one Allen Love quiet
law abiding colored citizen.
The crime was pcrpetraled near the Cas-
county line, and turns out 10 be a wiliuiy
atrocious and cold-blonded atiiir. Notwith-
standing the mystery with which the crime
was enshrouded, all hope. were abai :
doned by the law abiding citizens oil ever
finding out who perpetraied tie diabolical
deed, the hand OF Providence has removed
the vail, and placed the bloody aot where il
belongs.
The murderer, a boy by the name OF Brad
ley, about sixteen years of age, hsuuted hy
the recollections of the deed, no longer able
to carry the bloody secre, in his breast, made
COMPLIANT of friend and acquaintance, and
to him diyulged the horrible secret. After
relieving his soul thus far, he found that he
had committed himself, and in order to es-
cape the punishment prescribed by law, and
obtain the silence of one in whom he had
reposed confidence, he admonished him
to be ever silent, threatening, with terrible
oath, that if he ever divulged one word he
would put a bali through his head.
Knowing the character OF Bradley, the cen
fidant preserved silence for ZONE time, but
he could not resist tie temptation TO make a
confdant of friend, and when the iniorma-
ton had reached third party it was no
longer a secret, and very soon came came TO
the ears of the officers OF the law. The mar
shall of Pleasant Hill, Mr.. Aldrich, took the
matter in hand, and, accompanied by Brad
ley's contidant, started on the trail, and sue
ceeded in finding the gun with which Lowe
was killed, bat the murderer had fled the
country.
Bradley il represented as youthful dss-
perado, and has thus far managed TO elnde
the officers Of the law, who are az yet in hot
pursuit of him. 1, is TO be hoped he will be
captured and made 10 suffer the severest PEN
atty of the law.
