Lost, But How !?

When the Lexington branch train
stopped at the depot in this city, Yesterday
morning, one of the passengers who gst of
in the pelting rain, was Mrs. Cramer,
wife of the head of the firm Of
Cramer & Squires. who keep the Hoffman
house, at McAllister Springs. Mrs. Ora
ner hurried across TO the telegraph Office,
intending to send dispatch, but when she
went to pay for it she discovered that her
purse, containing between thirty and forty
dollars was gone.
She at once sough out Conductor Lewis
and told him of her loss. He went at
once into the coach and to the seat where
Mrs Cramer had been sitting, but the lost
purse was not there. The lady does not
koow how she lost it. She had occasion to
use it on the way down, and thought she
had put it back in her dress pocket. but it is
probable that she missed the pocket and
let the purse drop on the seat, from whence
some one took it.
When Mrs. Cramer got off the train she
crossed over the platform of a Missouri
Pacific coach in going to the telegr phi Of
fee. 1t may be that she was touched" as
she passed over.
At any rate the money is gone, and how
il went is mystery.

Police Court.

There were only two cases in the police
court yesterday.
Frank Turpin pleaded guilty TO plain
drunk and was fined s..
Nettie Winson is colored prostitute
and Friday evening officer Jim Gossage
had a warrant for her arrest. She was
wanted on the charge of disturbing the
peace by fighting Sallie Kelby. another
well-known colored member of the demi-
monde. 1t required some vigorous kick
ing upon the doors OF the hall leading to
to the room where the frail women reside,
before the officer could gain admittance,
and i: was only after he had threatened 10
kick the door in that it was opened.
The women were then arrested
and locked up; but a white admirer, in the
person o: dispenser of fluids at certain
well known saloon in this city, soon pro-
cured the release of his dark skinned lady.

Nettie pleaded guilty to disturbing the
peace and was fined 81, which was, doubt
less, paid by her white smash"

HILARIOUS HUNTERS.
How Some of tho Wen-Known
Nimrods are Enjoying Them
selves.

During the magnificent weather of the
past two weeks, scarcely a day has
elapsed without one or mere hunting
parties have left the city, intent upon
lew days sport among the fea,hery hocks
and fnny tribes of the forests and
streams contiguous to Sedalia. Most Of
the hunters who have returned, have come
laden with full game Gags, the very picture
Of robust health, ready, and mere than
willing to talk their friends into rapid
decline, by telling Of the sport they have
had, the envisbIe regulations they have
made as marksmen, and some even venture
upon the trusting dispositions and credu-
lily of their friends by relating miraculous
escapes from the wild beasts of the forests,
which exist nowhere except in their own
vivid imaginations.
Last evening Adam Fischer, Harvey
Sibert and Capt. Dick Baker retu rned from
. three days hunt in the northern part of
the county. They brought with them
abundant proof of their prowess as mighty
hunters and fishermen, who would put even
old Izaak Walton to The blush. Among the
other trophies of their skill was a large
number Of quail.
Charley Kiefer and Ed. Lyon, with
Charlie Baker, and quite a number OF
others from the vicinity Of Smithton, re-
turned, last evening, from a most success
nj hunt on the Niangua river.
Early this morning party consisting OF
Alderman Sinclair, s. c. Gold and John
Todd will leave for weeks hunt on the
Usage river, where they will probably join
A. B. Dempsey, Al Goodwin, Ernest
Dugan and others who have preceded
them.
Another hunting and fishing party, con-
sisting of DIR. Boyer, Mr.. Waterson and
others, will also leave this morning for
few days sport at tho headwaiers of the
Niangua river.

Lighted by Lightning.

About $50 o'clock, yesterday morning,
and during the heavy storm. an alarm of
fire was sounded. Before the sound of the
first few strokes of the changing bell had
died away, the fire department emerged
from the engine house and was dashing
awav to the scene of the confia-
grafton, which proved TO be the dwelling
house of Mr.. III. III. Marean, at the corner
of Seventh and Kentucky streets.
One of the chimneys on the ell of the
house was found to be wrecked and the
roof around il in a blsze. The flames
were speedily extinguished and before any
damage was done beyond The destruction
OF a few shingles.
Inquiry developed the inform alton that
the chimney had been struck by lightning
and the roof SET on fire by the subtle fluid.

and there assault, beat and maltreat her.

CROWLEY'S CASUALTY.
The Buggy and Carriage keposi-
tory of F. @. Crowley & Co.
Damaged by Fire.

About 1880 o'clock last night, the alarm
of fire was sounded, and IN a very few s. c.
onds the streets were filled by crowds Of
people hurrying to the scene Of the cOntia-
grafton, which proved to be the carriage
and buggy repository Of &c. Crowley &
Co., on West Main street.
The lire was first noticed by parties in
the Star Don, on the next block east
Street Commissioner Trip, who was on
his way home from the depot, at the time,
heard the remarks of the parties in front
of the saloon and glancing down
the street saw the glare ri
of the flames, through the windows of the
second story OF the building, occupied by
+. &. Crowley & Co. Mr.. Trip, without
stopping to investigate further, ran TO the
engine house and sounded the alarm. The
fire department turned out PROMPTLY, but
finding that the fire was so near at hand,
the horses were not hiiched to the eng inc,
it being drawn hy the firemen.
On reaching the burning building, no
one connected with the establishment, was
found, and the doors were burst open.
A spring wagon and pile of buggy shafts
and poles were found Ia be on
fire, having ignited from the
burning cinders dropped from the floor
above.
THE ORIGIN or THE FIRE
is a complete mystery as it originated on
the second floor where no fire j, ever used.
The flames started OH the north side of the
partition, dividing the upper story,
and burned through the floor for a space
of about twelve inches wide, the cinders
dropping through and setting fire to the
wagon and buggy material on the first
floor, as stated.
As no one is known TO have been in the
building since the establishment was
closed, at the usual honr, the FIRE can only
be accounted for either by spontaneous
combustion, or as being the work Of an in
cendiary.
AL of the wagons, carriages. buggies
and other vehicles, on the first floor, were
removed in safety, except one double-seated
spring wagon, the body of which was well
nigh consumed. The building was some
what injured by fire and water, but not to
as great an extent, AS might naturally have
been expected.

A Fat Find.

Friday evening, shortly after dark, as
Major Charlie Niles, the genial deputy
county recorder, was hurrying along Ohio
street, on his way home, his foot struck
against something on the sidewalk and
STOPPING down he picked up nice leather
pocke,book, such as is generally used for
carrying coin. The pocketboOk had =
plethoric appearance which would natur-
ally lead one to believe that it contained
considerable wealth.
The major, with his face beaning With
expectation, stepped into store near by
TO examine his find, and was soon sur
rounded by q curious crowd.
With some difficulty the pocketbook
was opened and found to contain
large lump of peculiarly odoriferous
substance. 1t was-well, 60 ask the major
What it was. At any rate he came to the
conclusion that he had been egregriOnsly
sold. so he carefully placed the pocket
book on the sidewalk for another victim.
He soon came, but so fearful was he of
losing his treasure, that he did not stop to
examine it until he reached home. He
then probably thought d-n it if he did
not say it.

change. The rules of the Cotton Exchange re-
quire margin to be kept mp from day to
day, consequently the failure of any firm or
individual can only entail a loss on
those dealing with them to the extent
OF the fluctuations OF that day. These firms
had put up margins covering everything up
to noon; therefore the only losses sustained
are those resulting from the decline since
noon on "long" cottons. tits stated tonight
that these losses will not exceed $35 900 for
the three firms, though the firms themselves
and their customers have doubtless lost
heavily by the decline in futures for the past
two weeks. ------.--.
