Criminal CareIessness.

Last Tuesday night at Clark's
switch just east of Sturgeon, the
Wabash express, No. A. going east,
was thrown from the track by the
carelessness of a brakeman who, we
learn, was a new hand. The fireman
named Lee F. Tatmon, nephew of
the keath boys Of this city, was
killed. The engineer and his brother
were both badly injured. None of
the passengers were seriously injured.
The accident, it appears, happened
as follows: Nc. SO, the fast train,
was side-tracted at Clark's switch.
The brakeman then threw the switch
shut so the regular express going
east could pass. 1t appears that he
then dozed off to sleep. All at once
he woke up in a dazed condition. and
saw a train coming right at him.
Not knowing what he was doing, or
thinking it was his train coming of
the switch on to the main track, he
jumped to the switch and opened it.
OF course the train was ditched while
going at full speed. The engine,
mail and express cars we're ditched.

EDITOR LEDGER: The much talk
ed OF exhibition at this place has
played out.
We had a splendid rain last Satur-
day, which insures a good corn crop.
Mr.. Rufus Caldwell and family,
from the southern part of the county,
were on a visit to the family of John
Fox last Sunday.
Messrs. Mallory, Powell and Quis-
enberry left last week for a pleasure
trip through the Southwest part OF
this State and Kansas.
Uncle Gid. Williams, living in this
vicinity, moved to this county in
1888, from North Carolina, before
Audrain was organized as a county.
He voted for VanBuren for President,
has voted the Democratic ticket ever
since, and has made a full hand this
season in the harvest field. He is
now sixty years old, and says he
will this fall cast his vote for Han
cock and Crittenden. Hurrah fol-
Uncle Gid!
The people in this part of the coun-
ty are not very well satisfied with the
action of the County Court, reducing
wages for working the roads to fifty
cents per diem. They think it is
simply capital VS.. labor, enabling
the rich man to pay his fifty cents q
day, while the poor man must labor
hard for his pitiful mite. We think,
taking everything INTO consideration,
it is an unnecessary action OF the
court, and does not meet with the
approval Of the people in this part of
the county.

ty, sold to Mr.. Walker, of Blooming

Festive Flames

Last Sunday, at two and a halt
O'Clock p. H., the elegant suburban
residence of Lewis Hord was burned
to the ground. When the fire start
ed none of the family were at home.
The servants, it appears, must have
been, in some way, careless with fire.
Even they had started away, but on
looking back they saw the kitchen in
flames. The neighbors were very
prompt in answering the alarm of fire
and most of the valuable furniture
and the piano, all more or less dam
aged, was gotten out. The house
and furniture were insured for 81, 800
in the Home Insurance Company,
with w. H. Woodward. MIR. Hord's
residence was Il model home and one
of the best in Mexico. He had spar
ed no expense to perfect it in every
way, having improved it at least
$4,000 worth in the last year or so.
Mrs. Hord nor daughters not being
at home, of course many of their
~valuables, in the way of dresses,
jewelry, silverware, &C., we're lost
in the fire. Many of our largest fires
are the result of the carelessness oil
servants.
