Piedmont Leader: "Last Sunday
morning about four o'clock a man sup
posed to be tramp was run over by a
flat car in the yards and had both legs
mangled in fearful manner. The
way the accident occurred was, he had
got under the fiat car which was stand
ing OH the switch, to get out of show
er of rain, when an engine backed
down against the flats showed them
down the track. the wheels passing
over his legs just below the knees. He
was picked up and carried to the depot
where it was ascertained that he had
no money. Drs. Petit & Toney dress
ed the wounds and the charitable citi-
Zens of Piedmont made up money to
employ an attendant to wait on him.
He fingered along in pain till Tuesday
morning when he passed into another
world. Before expiring he gave his
name as John Dixon, and said that he
was puddler, and had brother and
sisters in st. Louis. Coroner Coulter
held an inquest over the body and the
verdict of the jury was that he came to
his death by his own negligence. He
was buried at the expense of the
county,"

Steelville Sentinel: There was
gloom cast over the community last
Thursday morning by the announce
ment that Joe. Birdsong, who became
SO universally popular two or three
years ago as conductor of the "Cannon
Ball" train on the Salem and Cuba
road, had died suddenly at his home in
Cuba, under circumstances requiring
the presence of the Coroner. DIR. E. j..
Johnson, Coroner, went over and held
an inquest. The jury after hearing
the evidence, returned verdict that
death was caused by a self-administer-
ed overdose of morphine. The decision
may be correct, but careful reading Of
the evidence, does not so inspire US.
There was no direct evidence of suicide,
and charity for the living and the dead
should have given them the benefit of
the strong doubt. DIR. Coffee's sug-
gestion that in the absence of a post
mortem, the evidence and the appear
ance of the body indicated apopleXy,
was in our judgment the correct theory.
The only evidence of self-murder that
was produced, was a piece of paper
marked "Poison, Morphine" which
was picked up in the yard some thirty
feet from the house. The doctors pres
ent stated that the body had not the
appearance of morphine poisoning,
therefore, in justice to the memory of
respected friend, and kindness to
bereft family, would it not have been
better to attribute the death to appar-
ent disease, than accept hunted up
evidence of suicide, when the theory
was as plausible as the other?
We do not seek to deny or eXtenuate
the mans faults or weaknesses, but
Joe. Birdsong possessed many excellent
traits of character, and we do say that
we at least would not have cast such
stain upon his memory or upon the
lives of his afflicted wife and children,
except upon far stronger testimony
than any produced at the inquest"

Merchant vessels

WASHINGTON. D. c., November H.
The seventh annual list of merchant
vessels of the United States, as pre-
pared by the commissioner of naviga-
ton, shows as follows, compared with
the listof the previous fiscal year: The
total number Of vessels is: 1854, Az, $50;
1885. %, 513, q decrease of LII vessels.
Sailing Vessels-1684, IL ,598; 1885, IL ,167 +,
a decrease of 431. Steam yessels-18S4.
Gill; 1885, 5,705, a decrease of 405. I'm
rugged vessels-1684, 2,921; 1885. 2, $40, a
decrease of Isl. It is stated that the
decrease in the number of vessels is
more apparent then real. as is eVinced
by the fact that there were many YES
sells on the list of 1884, which had been
lost or sold to foreign traders. That
they were retained on the list is due to
the failure on the part of their owners
or masters to report their loss or sale.
The estimated real decrease in the
number of vessels owned in the United
States during the past year was about
0O9
