Mars Inhumapity to Man
Makes Countless Thous-
ands Mourn"

There arrived in this city last night,
from Hale City, Carroll county, two men
one, and he with whom the BAZoo has 10
deal, an old man, upon whose shoulders
once broad and strong. now rests the weight
of his three score aud ten years; whose hair
and beard, once rivaliDg In hue the wings
of the raven, are now white as snow; whose
form. straight as an arrow, is bent and fee
BILE. His name is George Meyers, the
father of Mrs.. Irwin, who lives on the cor.
ner of Fourth and Hancock streets, and is
the owner of property valued al s. 600 or
$4,000. On the arrival of the old man he
went directly to the residence of his dsugh-
ter, expecting to be received as father
but no; such was not his fate. Mrs. Irwin
met him at the door with cold "good
evening, father" Supper was just ready,
but no invitation to break bread in the
home of his daughter came 10 the old man,
and he turned from such inhumsnity and
went to Olmstead a. Jefferson's livery
stable, across the way, where his horses
were taken care of, and he and his COM
panion made as comfortable as circum-
stances would permit. Later, the daugh
ter sent him, wrapped In newspaper, a
quantity of bread and meat, from which he
made his supper.
In conversation with a representative of
the BAzOo, he expressed great surprise at
the conduct of his daughter, and could not
assign the least reason therefor. His wife
died in February, and there is now no one
left nearer than this daughter, and to be
thus cast aside by her when he only craved
recognition, is almost too much for him;
and ne seems well nigh heart-broken. He
and his daughter have not met for eight
years, but he supposed he would be wei.
come for the night.
The two men will proceed this morning
to Chalk Level, St Clair county, where
Mr.. Meyers has a son.in-law living, al
whose house he will spend the evening of
his life. 1t is sad case of lack of filial
devotion whose parallel has not been met
in Sedalia for many long day.

1.-THE Other Side"

"There are always two sides to a story"
said Mrs. Erwin to BAzoo representative
yesterday afternoon, having called 10 make
an explanation as 10 her conduct toward
her father the evening before. Il was very
glad to see my father and was perfectly
willing to receive him at my house and
seat him at my table; in fact, care for him
as a daughter should her father. But / was
not willing to receive mis- companion as my
guest, and plainly told father so. Instead
of accepting my terms he seemed to go into
passion and left the house Before he
left 1 gave him half the money had about
me and sent him nice lunch. / told him
if he would not stay with me wished he
would go out OF town to spend the night,
as could not bear to think of him In town
and not at nay house. have lived in town
eight years now, and this is the first time /
was ever accused of anything like that. I
love my father and would do anything
could for him, but would have nothing to
do with his companion"

the wholesale fright experienced by the
villagers.

the wholesale fright experienced by the
villagers.
Late Sunday evening while the wreck
ing crew were doing some switching to get
out of the way of a west.bound train, the
derrick struck the telegraph wires, and be-
fore they could stop telegraph pole was
broken and went to the ground, and was
dragged, striking little son of Thomas
Hainline, who narrowly escaped death.
Three young men of this city went TO
Lamonte Sunday to view the wreck. They
concluded 10 get of while the train was yet
moving, and as a result one sprsined both
his ankles, another ran his head i'm a mud
hole up to his ears, but the third came out
right side up with care. 1t is needless to
say that there we're two mad Sedalia boys
In Lamonte just about that time.
AT the time of the explosion there were
about fifty people in the Baptist church
which is about 800 yards north of the place
of the explosion. Worship had not COM
menced. The explosion sent a fue pipe
about twelve feet long and weighing prob
ably fifty pounds on the roof of the church,
making good-sized hole, and there it re-
manned late Sunday evening. The plaster
ing in the church was somewhat damaged
mot seriously, however.
The pieces of the wrecked engine, those
that could be found, were brought to this
CITY yesterday on three fat cars. Nothing
remains of the engine that can be used
with the exception of the driving wheels.
One driving wheel axle was broken in two
and another was bent until the wheels
stood at an angle of forty-fve degrees. The
boiler was Strengthened out and the fue
head did not contain but two or three fues,
and these were twisted and turned until
they resembled grape vines. Quite crowd
was assembled all the afternoon around the
cars containing the wrecked locomotive.

SAD FOR SHANKS.
Wild With Whisky, Bud
Shanks Takes q Wild
Drive.
The Tam o'Shanter Race Ends
in q Serious If not Fatal
Way,

Nearly everybody in Sedalia knows Bud
Shanks, the son of Mrs. Shanks, residing
north of the railroad, and one of the most
estimable ladies in Sedalia.
Bud himself is a whOle-souled, genial
fellow, well fitted to shine in his social cir
Gle but for that one bane and curse which
has dragged thousands down before him 10
untimely and unhonored graves, leaving
behind brand of shame and bitter griei
to all connected with them-the curse OF
the cup.
Some weeks ago Bud removed to the
country to be out of the way of Temptation,
but IT seems the remedy is of no avail as a
visit to the city results to return 10 old
habits.
Last Tuesday he came in with a two.
horse team and il was not long until with
several booh companions, his orgies we're
begun and kept up until yesterday evening,
when he started home with
his team, he being in a very
maudlin condition. When he reached Pa
cifc street and Moniteau by some means he
started his team In a run and was barely
able to sit upon the seat and hold a tight
rein. Three times the wildly rushing ami
mails flew around the square bounded by
Pacific, MonIteau, Pettis and Missouri
streets, their driver sitting pale as death
and Keeling from side to side with each
sway of the spinning vehicle. Hundreds
were soon watching the mad race, power
less to interfere lest the shying of the team
should hurl the helpless driver beneath the
wheels, but as the vehicle for the third
time reached the corner of Missouri and
Petiis streets the venture was made by par
ties closing on the approaching team from
both sides simultaneously. But the ami
mails swayed toward the fence as they APP
preached the corner and BUD was hurled
beneath their feet. The fore wheel struck
him with great force, passing over his
spine, and as he msde a motion To rise the
hind wheel passed over the center OF his
shoulders, crushing him into the ground
again, and the race was ended. the horses
stopping within twenty feet of him.
Bad was picked up and taken to his
mothers, where his intoxicated condition
and wild rawlings prevented such iryestiga-
ton as would enable positive conclusion
as to the extent of his injuries. He COM
planned much of his back, however, and
was splitting blood. 1t is feared he has sus-
tanned serious internal injury. This is rem
dered still more probable as his bones were
heard to crack by those near as the wheels
passed over him.

BRIBERY IN MAINE.
From the N. Y. WOrld.I


Mr.. Blaine in his letter of acceptance
spoke with Pccksniflian virtue against
the sin of corrupting the ballot box.
Mr.. Blaine's organs are every day de-
nouncing in glowing terms the iniquity
of purchasing votes. They are terribly
troubled at the thought that democrats
may be guilty of that objectionable sin.
Meanwhile, rs our reports from
Maine show, the republicans go openly
into the voters market in that pure
and vlrtuous state, with their green
backs cxtorted from unwilling but ter
ritied federal office-hoders in their
hands, and buy up drunken and sober
electors by the hundred in q district.
By false issues, pen lying and the
unblushing purchase OF votes the re-
publicans induce the people of Maine
to give their candidate thin coating of
"vindication" whitewash, in the stupid
belief that it may hide his tattoo
marks from the public eye. Only BY
such means, and at tho cost of much
labor, tribulation and money, do they
succeed in saving the favorite son his
own died i'll the wool republican
state.
We answer for the accuracy and
truthfnlness Of the shameful story told
by our Augusta correspondent to-day.
The people viii see from.its revelations
the means by which Blaine saved his
own state. Let them now keep their
eyes on Ohio, to which the ssOap''
tactics so characteristic of the republi-
cans tattoOed candidate will now be
transferred.
