A Horrible Story.

Sr. LOUIS, Aug. II. Special Jacob
Thompson resides on a farm near Jer-
seyville, Illinois, and the track of the
Wabash railroad passes near his house.
About 3 o'clock this afternoon Mrs.
Thompson missed her two-year-old
daughter who had been playing by her
side, and at the same instant heard the
shrill shreak of the engine drawing the
regular daily express. For some reason
the sound of tho whistle bore TO her
mothers heart horrible suggestion,
and rushing from the house she made
u discovery that almost paraly2ed her.
There, playing between the rails was
her little darling, aud the train bearing
down ut full speed.
The iatnor working ina field on the op.
positc side of the railroad track, made
the discovery at the same time. Both
parents made n rush, but the train
seemed to quicken its speed, and just as
! they reached the track, the wheels de
capitated their darling. The body was
thrown by the engine, in such manner
rs to strike the mother and fall at hei
feet. The head has not been found.
