lady had fallen into the sewer which the
Missouri Pacific IS building, to let of the

The sewer is north of the general offices,
and runs east and west, being some seven
feet deep, The LADY, whose name is Mrs.
Mary L. Joslin, was coming from her home,
east of the machine shops, down town. As
it was dark, and not knowing of the deep
ditch, Mrs Joslin fell into it, with the
above result to her leg.
Her cries attracted the attention Of
some passing railroad men. and they went
to her rescue. She was taken TO the yard
masters Office, where the hospital ambul-
ance was called by telephone. which soon
arrived, and the lady was taken home.
DR.. Jackson and Superintendent Wesson
accompanied the lady, and rendered her all
the assistance possible. The. leg was set,
and such pain alIevistors administered Is
we're necessary.
Mrs. Joslin is the mother of two chill
drsn, and when found in the sewer she was
giving expression to her motherly solicit
tude for them BY moaning out, "Oh my
poor children, what will they do3 What
will become Of them?" She was resting
comfortably to-day, although this is . sad
Thanksgiving for her and hers.

When the train from the west, last night,
arrived at the depot, in this city, two men
alighted on the side opposite to the CARR
son house, and at once started south on
Usage street till Main was reached, when
they turned east and stopped not in their
hurried walk until they reached the Jay
Gould hotel, on the corner of Main and
Lamine streets.
These two men were Henry ID. Stringer
and Charlie Allen, the latter a prisoner i'm
been expected, as the BAZOo had told Of
Aliens flight, arrest at Pueblo, Colorado,
and the departure of Mr.. Stringer, armed
with requisition from Governor Crittep-
den, for him.

Charlie Allen is charged need not he re-
told. But of the in.ia"iiate cause of his

mind still. in spite Of the recent election.
Il think the prospects for prohibition
are brighter than ever" remarked Gov.
johnson. The defeat Of St. John in Kan

RAILROAD ACCIDENT.
A Freight Train Goes Into
Long Branch.
Twelve Cars Of Corn Can Sprout
in the Spring.
WHERE 1T OCCURRED.

There IS a small creek known as Long
Branch, which is crossed by the Missouri
Pacific about one-half a mile east Of the
Otierville depot, and about the same dis.
lance west of where the road crosses the
Lamine river, fifteen miles east of Sedalia
The bridge which crosses Long Branch is a
vast combination fifty feet long, and was,
yesterday. tirst-class bridge in every re-
spect, built two years ago.
THE ACCIDENT.
A freight train left Sedalia, hound east,
about one o'clock this morning, in charge
of conductor Wills. When east of Otter.
willie, short distance, the train broke into
three pieces, and of course the part with
the locomotive attached went abe ad and
crossed the Long Branch bridge. The Sec
ond and third pieces of the train came TO-
gether on the Long Branch bridge with
terrible effect, leaving the bridge. a COM
pete wreck, in the bed of the creek, to-
geiher with twelve cars loaded with sheiied
corn.

So shall the day be humbiy set apart,
And We come gladly with our need OF love,
Not bOastfully of earthly greeds alone,
But grateful to the Almoner above.
We are not bet er than the troubled ones
Nor are we gre .ter tn an the burthened mass,
But z enty gave US from her blessed store
And left her harvest as she babe US pass.
The nation smiles and pure and white-wingei joy
Stands waiting by tee merry e>tal board;
The years full garner yields It's wine and corn,
And shares the treasures Of a bursting heard.
But out, beyond, oh let us not forget,
Is Sorrow, with her brood of W ut and woe,
And many long, but long, alas in vain,
The PAIN of life is all they ever know.
We ve our thanks but they what shall they give
He knoweih on.y what their needs may be,
The sacrince, the many broker dreams,
The rue Of tears which spring from misery.
So. let the day of thanks be set apart,
So let o n hearts with noble taougats be sown,
And mindful of Gods pIe:ious 'other ones
Give freely from the bounty made ourown.
