POOR BROWN.
The Young Brakeman Whose Leg
Was Amputated Dies From
That and Other Injuries.

William Brown. the young man who
was hurt in the yards at Upton, and
brought to the hospital, Thursday, with
his right leg crushed from the thigh down.
and lett foot and leg mangled, suffered the
amputatiOn OF his right leg, Friday morn
ing, bat the shock he received when hurt
was more than his system could bear. and
he died, Friday night, at about 20 minutes
past 2 o'clock.
A BAzOO reporter visited his aunt. Mrs.
I. A. Graves, who lives in East Sedalia,
yesterday afternoon, from whom he learned
thst the unfortunate young man had only
heen in the employ of the railroad about
two months. during which time he has
been on the regular runs with Conductor
Andy Sc0w; but was changed from the
run on the west emu To- the one
from Boonville to Upton, and it was on
his first trip, while in the yards az Upton,
he stepped on beam and slipped and fell,
the cars passing disgonally over the lower
portion of his body.
His mother is not living his father is,
however, but just where is not known, not
having heard from him since last June.
He has sister living at Centerview, who
has been telegraphed for, and was expect
ed last night. Mrs. Hurchins, another
aunt, who lives in Gum City, johnson
county. is also expected to be present at
the funeral, which will take place to-day
at 3 o'clock.
During the first night at the hospital, all
that could be done by his aunt and those
who care tenderly for the suffering at tb.
hospital, was done, and Mrs. Graves stayed
with him until 5 o'clock Friday, when he
seemed to be doing we'll.
But he seemed to realize that his end
was near, and just before Mrs. Graves left
aim, he asked her to dr1k the money due
him from the company, and to pay his
debts, saving for herself whatever might
be left. Other effects were given her and
then the poor fellow settled into a calm
and patient state, as if fully resigned to
his fate.

LARGE SUIT
Growing Out Of the Deed Of Trust
of John G. Allen.

When the news of the financial troubles
of John g. Allen were first given to the
world it was understood he had made an
assignment Such was not the case. Mr..
Allen executed q deed If trust in tie ma.
ture Of a mortgage according to supreme
court decisions, to ]. y. Daily, TO sell his
goods and apply the proceeds, on certain
conditions, as he thought equitable and
Just.
Yesterday suit Was commenced in the
Petiis circuit court, the title Of which Is,
E S. Jeffray ct nj. vs.. Jehn q. Allen, J. \.
Daily ct al.
The suit is brought BY number of the
general creditors against John G. Allen,
John N. Daily and the preferred creditors,
alleging that the deed Of trust to secure
them as such preferred creditors
was made to avoid the assignment laws Of
the state, which forbids a preference of
creditors, and to set aside snch preferences
and to declare said trust deed an assign
ment for the equal benefit of all the cred
itors, and to compel the trustee, John n.
Daily, to file an inventory, bond ,appraise-
meu;, etc, and fully comply with the
assignment laws OF the state to compel
him to account to plaintiffs for their pro
rata part of the proceeds of all property
sold, and to account for all payments made
to said preferred creditors; also denying
that Ellen B. Allen. wife Of John g Allen
is a creditor in the sum of $4,000, or any
other sum.
r. c. Sneed and w. s. Shirk srs at
torneys for plaintiffs. Who the defendants
will employ is not yet understood, but,
doubtless, the best talent will be employed,
as the case involves at least Sl5, 900 to the
preferred creditors, and about an equal
sum TO the general creditors.

WILL BE MOVED.
That's what Will be Done With
The Missouri Pacific General
ONCE Building.

A large sized and, apparently, we'll
founded, rumOr went floating about the
streets, yesterday, to the effect that the
building occupied ~ the general Offices Of
the No Pac. and X. & T. roads in this city
located in East Sedalia, was to be moved
several blocks westward.
A BAzoO reporter "cought on" to the re.
port, and determined to chase it down TO
some definite place of origin, ii such it had.
After scme little walking and talking, he
finally ran across Mr.. s. L. Highleymau,
1t when he fired the point blank question
"Mr. Highieyman. what truth is there
in the report that the general office build.
ing is to be moved irom its present loca-
ton, and placed somewhere else?'
The gentleman at first seemed inclined
to back OF from the reporter, but q few
gentle words of assurance, and a pass or
two of the hand in q n,esmeric manner,
dispelled the gentieman's fears. and be sub
mitted To the ordeal of an interview.
"Wbo told you that the building was to
be moved p"
"Never mind the report is out, and
desire categorical answer from YOU" was
the bold demand Of the reporter.
well, rather than have You publish a
false or garbled statement, I'll tell You
about the matter There is a necessity for
more track room, and the building stands
in the way. We have tried To get hold Of
land adjoining the lot on which il stands,
but the owners thereof consider il a relig-
ious duty not to sell anything to railroad
company for less than five tunes its value
and the result is We will he forced to pay
more for small lot OF land than it will
take to move the building"
"But will not its removal hurt that part
of the city,"
Certainly; but We are not responsible
for that II property owners persist in
cutting off their nose to spite their face, il
is none OF our business"
"How far west will the building be

three and four blocks"

"Yes, but IL will be done, for We are

DOCTORS DIFFER.
A Georgia Editor Does Not Be-
heve with Mr.. Van Wagner
as to Early Marriages.

In his sermon, las: Sunday night, Rev.
Allen Van Wagner, Of this city, pronounce
ed in favor of early marriages, and gave
therefor several good reasons for such be-
lief. But, as an illustration that great
minds do not always run in the same chan
mel, the following very spicy comments on
the subject OF early marriages is given. Ii
is taken from Georgia paper, the Rising
Fawn Gazette:
"Nine-tenths Of the unhappy marriages
are the result Of green human calves being
allowed to run at large in the society pas
lures without any yoke on them. They
marry and have children before they do
mustaches; they are fathers of twins be-
fore they are proprietors of two pairs Of
pants, and the litle girls. they marry. are
old women before they are twenty years
old. Occasionally one of the~e gesling
marrisses turn out all right, but It is a
clear case of luck. Ii there was q Law
against young gslOOts sparkling and marry
ing before they have all cut their teeth, we
suppose the little cusses would evade il in
some way, but there ought to be senti-
ment against it. 1t is time enough for
these bantams to think OF finding a pullet
when they have raised money enough to
buy handle OF laths to build heuhouse.
But they see girl who looks cunning, and
they are afraid there is not going to be
girls enough TO 60 round, and then they
begin to get in their work real spry and
before they are aware of the saciity OF the
marriage relation they are hitched for life,
and before they own cook Stove or bed
stead. they have to get up in the night and
go alter the doctor, so frightened that they
run themselves out Of breath, and abuse
the doctor because he doesn't run too. and
when the doctor gets there there is not
enough linen in the house to wrap up
doll-babv"
