WRECK ON THE PACIFIC
The Accident which Befel No. 4 at
Moniteau Station Yesterday
Morning.

Missouri Pacific passenger train No
4, which left Seiaiia at lilo O'Clock yester
day morning, in charge of Conductor
Knowlton. with Engineer Gilbert on tie
1902" met with an ugly accident at Moni.
teau station, thirty one miles east of here.
The train was little more
than two hours late when
it pulled out from The Garrison house, con.
sequentiy was towling along at a high rate
of spe d, in order to make up all the lime
possibIe.
Just as the train reached the western
switch at Moniteau. the engineer and fire
man were not little alarmed at the iron
horse leaving the track, followed, an in
slant later, BY the postal, baggage, express
and smoking cars. The postal car became
detached from the tender and the car
in the rear, and went blowing along the
earth on the north side of the roadbed,
running a distance of about one hundred
feet from the track, and stoppi e probably
not more than twenty feet from frame
residence, which stood on a slightly ele-
waited piece of ground.
The engine was somewhat damaged,
while the tender was even
more roughly handled. The de.
rallied cars were all of them more or less
injured, and the wreck is said to have been
an ugly one.
Strange as it may appear, not a person
Was injured, even in the slightest degree.
Conductor Knowlton. when interviewed a.
to the cause Of the wreck, said it wss be-
yond his comprehension. He looked over
the ground carefully, but there
was neither broken rail nor q
misplaced switch. Word was at once sent
to this city. and in brief period the
wreckinp car was at the scene of the acci-
dent; but it was not until ii O'Clock that
the track was cleared and the train pro-
ceeded eastward.
The TWO sections of No. 3, which should
have reached Sedalia at 4:30 q. M, did not
get in until after twelve o'clock, and more
disguised lot of travellers it would have
been difficult to find

WALTERS WIT.
The Gentleman from st. Joe
Downs q Citizen Of Sleepy
Hollow.

Everybody In Missouri is acquainted
with Hon Waller Young, of ST. Joe. He
is natural wit, and with his unboundel
good nature makes him one of the most
popular men i'm the state
The St. Joe lunatic asylum has ALWAYS
been one of his pet schemes. Much of
the success of securing the location of the
state inhrmery, at that place, is due to his
untiring efforts. A few winters ago the
state institution was blurred and the in
mates beneft of reason were without places
OF abode. Scracely had the smoke ceased
to arise from the ruins, until Waller was
on his road to Jefferson City to invoke
state aid, the legislature being in session,
to rebuild the asylum.
Arriving at Jefferson City. he walked up
the great hill. ami was met by the mem.
bers and others who were full of questions
regarding the situation etc.
j. II. Johnston and j. r. Walker, of
Boonville, and Youn-, were standing in
the Madison house talking of the
outlook, in so far as st. Joe was concerned
and the welfare and condition of the poor
people who were the wards of the state,
when Hon Ashley Ewing, Of Jefferson
City Joined the knot. Alter shaking hands
with the rev arrivals, gho were to buy
hash a few days, the conversation natur-
ally turned upon the disastrous fire, when
Mr.. Ewing asked of Mr.. Young:
What has become of the insane people
since the fire."
"Oh! they are running around on the
street up there, just the same as they are
here in Jefferson City," replied Mr.. Young,
looking as serious as if he had said some
thing that was Old and matter of fact to
everybody.
Mr.. Ewing asked no more questions
about the insane in st. Joe, while Jimmy
johnson and John Walker left hurriedly
in order to sllow Ash. an opportunity to
recover his embarrassment.

ELECTRIC

IL.
went to Kansas City to investigate the
practicabiIity and general workings of the
electric light, had returned, a BAZoo r..
porter called on him yesterday to learn the
result OF his trip and opened the inter-
view with the query:
Doctor, during your visit to Kansas
City, did you thoroughly inspect the opera.
ton OF the Brush electric light"
mo. the Brush electric light is not in
operation in Kansas City, but the
American electric light is, and the general
principle is the same, though the Brush
light is admitted to be the most perfect.
examined the workings of the American
light infinitely, not. oely as to practicabili,y
but as TO power and economy
'Please give me your deductions-frst as
to practicability.
"lI nv opinion il would be practicable
to introduce The light here. particularly in
Lighting the streets
"IIow would il do for business houses
and private residences"
"For very large business houses. where
the great light could be utilized. il would
DO very we'll, but in sr,all business houses
and residences it would be TOO expensive.
"What would he the probable cest per
light per night ?"
:" For each light burned all night i,
would cost about dollar, and less in pro-
portion to the number of hours in which
the lights would be kept burning"
"How much greater is the power of the
electric light than that of the gas used in
Sedalia ?"
"About forty times the power"
'Then you claim that the electric ligh.
is cheaper than gas"
Only when the full extent of its power
can be utilized, as il could be in LIGHTING
the streets, or as before stated, large halls
or business establishments. The main OBJ
iect of nv visit was to ascertain IL those who
had abandored gas and adopted the cleo.
trio light had got tired OF it and gone back
to gas"
SWELL"
Il find that in not single instance had
such been the case. All who adopted
the electric are we'll pleased with it."
How do those who have tried it like it
for street lighting?"
'For lighting cities it has no equal. Our
idea is to erect tower and light the whole
city from il. That is the way it
is done at Butler, where the light
can be seen Thirteen miles, and at
Cleveland, Ohio, where it can be seen
miles"
"The electric light at Denver auctuates so
as to drive one nearly blind. For one
minute it will be almost dark, and the next
it is like looking al the MONDAY sun. What
have you that it will not be so
That is on account of bad management.
The Brush light does not fuctuate"
"What will be the capacity of the
machine you propose introducing here ?"
"A forty light machine"
'Can you get subscribers fer that many
ights?"
I'VE have thirty subscribers now, and /
predict that it will soon be in Sedalia, like
/ is in Chattanooga, Tenn, where they got
I fifty light machine and those who refused
% 20 into it at first, now offer premiu N
over the actual cost of $50 per light"
Thanking the Doctor for the information
given, the reporter took his departure.
