relate to each other pleasing anecdotes
of their parents, of their own children.

their friendship with each other. Since
his decease those sons, of whom there
are six living, all of whom are now adj
vanced in years, and upon whose heads
the frost of age has fallen, have failed
not to regard his request On Monday,

INIT KILL BROKEN T. Nz,
HORSES any MORE,

1t is now argued that it is unnecessary
to kill broken-legged horses; and a point
in case is stated: Twelve weeks 400
the right hind leg was broken of Mr.,
Williams valuable and favorite mare,
in Utica. by a kick from another horse.
The fracture was half way between the
fetlock and the gambrel joints, and was
complete. A veterinary surgeon under
took to set the leg. A canvas sling was
arranged, and the mare suspended in i
iPssuch a way that she could occasionally
rest upon her uninjured limbs. The
fractured leg was then set, bound with
hickory and leather splints, with a heavy
leather boot outside of all. The mare
did well, and never missed a meal. After
three weeks a plaster of Paris bandage
was substituted, and in seven weeks
" Nellie was walking around the stable.
There was no sign of the fracture, and it
thought that she will keep her 2:4O

WORK OF FTENDS.

Il" attempt to Jreek u Train and thoo
The TrHiM Ofici0Is.
AS the express train on the 81. Louis
and San Francisco railroad, late Atlanti,
and Pacific, reached a point one mile
and a half west of Wooden station. one
hundred and fifteen miles from St
Louis, last night, the engineer saw some
kind of obstruction on the track and in.
Stantly applied the air brakes, but not
quickly enough, for when reaching the
spot where the obstruction was, the
engine and baggage cars left the track
and plunged down an embankment one
hundred and forty feet high. Samuel
Richardson; fireman, and DIR. Z. L. At
klnson, who were on the engine, were
killed instantly: and Frank Cation,
engineer, SO badly wounded that he
died in two hours. Cation and Atkinson
lived at Pacific City. The latter was
the physician of the railroad company
and was riding on the engine with Cation,
who was a personal .Iiend. Richardson
lived at Pierce City.
Conductor Wilson was i the rear ear
at the time. The air brake wat applied
Immediately. He ran forward and
found the engine and baggage car down
the e%mbankment. He started at ones
for the engine, and on the way heard a
pistol shot, and a ball passed through his
hat Several other shots were fred and
the passengers say they saw five men
standing near who we're revealed bv the
flashes from the pistols, but nobody was
hit. Two balls passed through The bag
gage car, and although two express mes
sengers and the baggageman were in the
neither of them was hit or hurt nv
accident. On examining the track
1t was found that the tishbars connecting
rails on both sides of the track had
been unjointed and the ends of the rails
moved so that the train would run down
,he embankment. A monkey wrench.
In iron pick and claw bar also were
ound on the track. This, in connection
With shots fired and the men seen, left
10 doubts in the mind of the conductor
nd passengers that a diabolical scheme
lad been planned to run the whole train
own the embankment and rob the ex-
and plumber the passengers that it
as not carried out may be explained by !
fact that the night was intensely |
ark that it rained heavily and that the {
ain was running at a speed of ten a
lies an hour, which prevented any of t

ack. No clue to the perpetrators of t
