THE VICTIM

for some time laid upon the track, 9
shocking spectacle of the sudden death
which terminated her existence. Her face
was uninjured and presented most ghast
" appearance as it remained on
the outer ties in measure separated from
the rest other body. Her arms were drawn
up as if to shove away the wheels and
undergearing of the locomotive.
She was dressed in common wollen
dress of dark material, and her feet were
not encased in shoes of any description
She was apparently about fifty years OF
age, and is represented to have been in
very stringent circumstances. During the
last month or so she had rented room
of A. j. Sass, on Twentieth street, but
more lately had been given home ut Mrs.
Choppers, who resides on Second avenue
adjoining j. Ramsey's jewelry store.
The deceased had lived with small
grsnd-child, the daughter of her son.
THE REMAINS
were visited by large crowd of spectators
as they lay exposed upon the track. The
curious crowd included number of women
and young girls. The sight was most hor-
rible, and EXPLANATIONS of that nature were
quite generally expressed.
The little grand child of the deceased, a
little girl about ten years old, was allowed
to visit the scene, and her grief at the
sight was touching in the extreme,
The body was taken in charge by Under
taker Knox, who prepared it for burial,
and the funeral will be conducted at the
countys expense.

Barney McQuade, the teamster. testified
that he was going north on Nineteenth
street at the time of the accident, and saw
the deceased standing on the track and an
engine backing down toward her. He
shouted at her to get out of the way, but
she paid no attention to him. The loco
motive was going at the rate of 2 miles
per hour, and the bell was sounding. He
is of the opinion that the deceased started
to get off the track just as the tender
struck her.
The verdict was in accordance with the
above facts, and attaches no blame to the
railroad officials, as due care and diligence
was observed.

A Woman Instantly Killed
This Morning.

Switch Engine.

about 10 o'clock this morning, by which
an elderly woman was instantly killed.
The mishap took place at the railroad
crossing over Nineteenth street, and SO far
as can be ascertained, was the result of
carelessness on the part of the deceased. as
the engineer sounded the bell and was go
ing at such slow rate of speed that it
seems almost impossible to think that any
one could have been caught by the slowly
approaching locomotive.
Such fatality, however, actually occur
red, and life was extinct before the engi-
neer could stop the engine, and rescue the
unfortunate victim.

took place.

her head clearing the rail while her neck
covered the iron. The wheels of the ten

the body. Some portion of the engine
caught her body and pushed it along until
the west side of that street was reached
when the engineer reversed the engine
and brought the locomotive to stand still.
1t was then found that life was extinct.
1t was also discovered that the head adj

discussion of the manly art among the
miuers at this point, and resulted in a
match between two noyioes-Larry
O'Brien, an Irishman, and Ed Denton,
an Englishman--for 500 y side and
the championship OF the Bellville
mining dlstrici. On Sunday they went
out to the bluffs near PittsbuTg, ILL.,,
and slogged each other 10 an improved
fashion. Both we're OF about the

O'Brien weighing 1G0 to Denton's 165
pounds.
In the first round 0'Brien rained a
shower of blows on his antagonist,
drawing the blood and punishing him
severely. In the second round OBrien
went to grass with a terrific right
handler in the bread basket. The
third round ended in a IRli over the
ropes.

Denton appeared good deal the
worse for wear. O'Neil advised Larry
to go in end knock the eye ont OF the
Britisher, and in Larry went. Den
ton pared Larry's first shot, but be-
fore his guard was there again he got
it fairly on the nose. The crack ol
the terrible blow was heard all around
the ring, and it made Denton staggeI
and drop to his knees.
From round five to the twelfth and
last the Irishman had things all hii
own way. The five-minute breathing
spells, however, gave Denton time tt
mend between rounds, and that wat
the reason why he kept up the fight sc

Crime IN H.onaan.

An English journal paints crlm-

"Crime and brutality are organiz-
ing themselves on all sides, and the
defensive, detective andlprecaution-
ary powers which society has at its
disposal are Intellectual to meet or
ward of the danger. Children are
found In rivers with bricks tied to
their legs, and II is an open ques-
ton whether the police will discover
how they were done to death. Post.
men are shot in South Kensington;
policemen are mauled by daring
rufians; gangs of roughs turn the
Thames embankmenT after dusk into
d pandemonium and il the police
succeed In arresting the guilty it is a
sort Of MIRACLE" Our English cons
temporaries very often amuse them
selves in sermonizing on what they
call the insecurity of life lnAmerica.
"A short time ago one of them sent q
correspondent out ON the frontiers
OF our civilization. and describing
the ruflians he found there many of
whom are probably from the vicinity
OF South KenslDgton, set them down
TO the credit, hor rather discredit
of Americs. 1t is very evident from

LOUISVILLE, Feb. 2l.-The failure
of the Newcomb- Buchanan Com

received with much surprise. The
fact that the liabilities of the firm
amount to about 81 100000 while
its assets amount to less than 80 900, !
600, and the additional fact that the
business of the company was almost
exclusively on large contracts, lead
10 the belief that the embarrassment
will be only temporary.

that the firm suspended in 1878, and In
