DIED At THEIR POSTS.
An Engineer and Fireman of the b. & NJ.
Lose Their Lives.
Omaha Herald, LIST.

| Omaha Herald, LIST.
Switch engine No. 90, on the B. & M.
railway, was thrown from the river track I'M
der the Union Pacific bridge last night, by q
turned switch, and its engineer ard fireman
were caught in the wreck. The engine was
running down from the B. g. NJ freight yard,
pushing two box cars and drawing two. The
cars ahead broke loose, when the engine went
of and they ran down the track several yards
and jumped off. The engine ratified over the
ties for six car lengths after passing the switch
and then suddenly headed toward the river
and plunged up to its axles in the clay along
the banks, Just clearing the track as 1t went
off. The tank was dragged off the rails, but
did not leave the track-bed, and a corner
crashed into the cab of the locomotive and
against the fireman and engineer, pinning the
men against the boiler head gauge broke
and flooded the cab with steam, and threatened
to scald the driver and stoker past help.
The brakeman on the train emerged from the
wreck uuhurt and came quickly to the relief of
the two engine men. Blankets were brought
and put over the broken guage in an effort to
stop the stream Of steam, which was partly eff
fected The whistle and steam dome were
opened and all steam possible was blown OIL.
The prolonged whistling was the first signal OF
distress to the railway men in the B. q M. and
Union Pacific yards.
crowd of over hundred men and women
soon gathered. Jack-screws were brought and
used to push back the tank from the engine
for a few inches. The first men who entered
the cab saw, as they thrust their lanterns into
the clouds of steam, the face of Engineer
Wilson, who turned his face toward them, but
did not speak. The wrecking party set to
work with axes and cutting as carefully as they
could to avoid hitting the men within, soon cut
away the lower part of the cab, and gained ac-
cess to the two men.
o The angineer and fireman were both lying on
the deck or floor of the cab, the former across
the latter. They were taken out, one at
time, and tenderly laid upon the ground, when
DIR. Hertzmann made an examination. Nearly
all but the oldest railway men had been hope
full that the men could be saved and they were
slow to realize the truth of the doctors report
that both were dead, SO far as could be told
from the hasty examination, from scalding.
Charles Wilson, the engineer, resided at
Fifth and Division streets. He was about 30
years of age, has wife, and has been in the b.
& M. service about six months, coming here
from the Wabash railroad.
Daniel Mahlon, the fireman, was about 81
years of age, and resided at Seventh and Pacific
streets, where he leaves wife and baby. He |
had been in the service of the company for |
most of the last two years.
Both were highly respected and trusted men, |
and their families will have the heartfelt SYM
pathy of every one in the community.

Sic Hours Without a Memory.

BOSlOH lTuNcutT
The brain plays odd tricks with us at
times. especially when it has been sub
iected to a sudden shock; and scientific
men who think that its various convo-
lutions are the seats of various faculties
of the mind derive some confirmation
of their theory from the fact that the
power of memory may fail in part with
out any failure of general intelligence,
and may fail in part without being al
together impaired. A notable instance
of this last mentioned popularity occur
red about dozen years. A lad in the
country was accused of throwing an
other into pond, and he was put on
his trial before bench of magistrates
His elder brother, who bore a high
character in the village both for con-
duct and for mental shrewdness, had
seen the previous struggle between the
lads, and he was called upon to give
evidence. He declared his belief that
the fight was perfectly fair throughout,
and that the immersion in the pond was
an accident. Questioned as to what
took place afterward, he could not
speak to a single circumstance. "Did
the prisoner attempt to rescue the de-
ceasedP" the chairman asked him. He
could not say. 1.-The bench understand
that you leaped into the water and re-
covered the body" ''They tell me So"
he said, "but | have no recollection of
it," 1.-The constable has told us that
you dived twice, brought out the body,
and carried it to the parents house."
81 have not the slightest remembrance.
| only know that L was at home in bed
at o'clock-six hours later-''and the
last thing could remember was seeing
poor Smith fall over the edge" There
could be no doubt that the witness was
speaking the truth; and he could have
had no object in doing otherwise. The
shock which he had received on seeing
the fatal result of his brothers quarrel |
had paralyzed his brain; the memory
was interrupted by those few hours,
though in all other respects he had
acted like a man in the full possession
Of his senses.

Il ROMANTIC MARRIAGE.
IN Eastern Belle Comes to Omaha to Meet
Her 4fianced.
Omaha Herald.

Omaha Herald.
| One of the most romantic and, il
is to be hoped, happiest, weddings on
record, took place at the Paxton hotel
last evening, when Lieutenant +. Jarvis
Patten, of the Twenty-frst infantry,
was married to Miss Hattie c. REESE, of
New Bedford, Mass. The romance be-
gan in June, 1888, when Lieutenant
Patten, then stationed at Boise Bar
racks, Idaho, went east on a six months
leave. He visited many places in New
England, spending most of his time at
his mothers home at Bath, Maine.
When his leave had about expired Mr..
Patten started to join his regiment, and
had got as far as New York when he
was recalled to Bath by telegram in
forming him of the sudden and serious
illness of his mother. While there he
met Miss Besse, and when they
parted five days later they were en-
gagged. Mr.. Patten returned to his
station and was soon transferred TO
Fl. Mckinney. The matter ran along in
the usual way until a few weeks ago
when the young people agreed to meet
in Omaha on the 2Sth of October and
get married. Miss Besse arrived on
time and with her came her father and
mother and sister. The young lieuten-
ant was also on hand, and greeted his
afflanced yesterday afternoon for the
first time since the betrothal. Later in
the day license was procured, and
last evening they were married in one
of the private parlors of the hotel, by
Rev. Mr. Harsha. The bride, who is
beautiful brunette of magnificent pres
ence, was dressed in a royal robe of
white satin, en- train, and wore a white
tulle veil. She was attended by her
sister, Miss Kate Besse, who wore
rich satin dress of street length. The
groom and his best man, Lieutenant
Coffin, of the Fifth artillery, were in
full uniform, as was also Lieutenant
Charles McQuiston, the only guest pres
emit. Miss Besse's parents were inter-
ested spectators of the ceremony.
Lieutenant Patten and wife will re-
main in Omaha a few days and then |
proceed direct to Fort Mckinney, |
where Mr.. Patten has already secured |
4 comfortable home. Mrs. Patten will |
be warmly welcomed at the post, and,
rs she is lady of grace and refine
nent, will be valuable social acquisi-
ion to the little circle there.

give the exact reason for this universal con-
viction, but everybody declares that he feels
it in the air. Things are certainly going wrong
all round. Vague rumors of impending dis
aster in Egypt have passed from the bazaar of
Cairo to the clubs of London, and although
Khartoum may not have fallen already, not
one man in hundred believes that Wolsley
will get there in time to save it. The fall of
Khartoum just now would be also the fall of
Gladstone.

Fron. the lips of Dying Men.

There have been some curious coinci-
dences in the dying sayings of great
men. ARIA said: "Petus, it is not
painful" while Louis XIV remarked:
~ thought dying had been harder. -
DR.. William Hunter said: ''If l had
strength to hold my pen, l would write
down how easy and pleasant thing it
is to die" ga king should die stand

Columbus, Lady Jane Grey and Tasso

after asking how he had acted his part
in this life, said to those around: "Give
me your plaudits, and died. Demonax,

Married Too Much.

Salt Lake UTAH dispatch: Yesterday Rud-
ger Clawson, convicted a week ago of poly
gamy, was arraigned and asked If he had
aught TO say why sentence should not now be
passed upon him. He made speech, denying
the constitutionality of the statutes against
polygamy, and saying that he would obey
Gods law rather than mans; therefore he
thought polygamy right, and was determined
to practice it. Judge Jane said he had
thought to pass light sentence upon him,
but now he would not A defiant criminal
was not entitled to leniency. He therefore
sentenced him TO four years at hard labor in
the penitentiary and to pay fine of $500.
Notice of appeal was then given by Clawson's
counsel and motion made to release him on
bail pending determination of the case in the
higher courts. This was denied by the judge,
and Clawson was remanded to the custody OF
the United States marshal.
