A Touching Scene in a Pullman
Car on the NJ, X. e. 7.
Last Night.
Death OF Mrs. Morrison, Leaving
q Husband and Four
Little Children.

One of the saddest deaths the
BAzoO has ever been called upon to
chronicle occurred at 1890 o'clock
last night ON the north bound NJ. X.
q L. passenger train, No. 154, which
arrived here few minutes after IL
o'clock, in charge of Conductor Andy
q. Brown.
the victim was Mrs. Gertrude NJ.
Morrison, wife Of Charles HI. Morri-
son, of Weatherford, Texas. Accom-
panied by his invalid wife and four
little children, ranging in years from
three to ten, Mr.. Morrison left Wealth
erford Friday, his destination being
Armstrong, Mo-, between Moberly
and Glasgow. where the parents of
his wife, Mr.. and Mrs. Silas A.
DOwney reside.
Mrs. Morrison was very low with
consumption when the Journey was
entered upon, but she was anxious to
make the trip in order that
she might die at home. She grew
weaker and weaker with each
passing hour, however, and Just
as the train was pulling into Green
Ridge, at the hour above stated, she
passed peacefully away.
Conductor Brown did everything
within bis power for the comfort of
the agonized husband and motherless
children, but their grief knew no
bounds, and when the train arrived
here the scene was heart-rending, in
deed. Kind lady passengers had
taken charge of the children, but they
refused to be comforted, and at inter-
walls the two younger children would
cry out, Il want to see my mamma"
Officers Mason and Paine at once
took charge of the body and sent for
Undertaken Hibbs, who responded
promptly, and the remains were taken
to McLaughlin's undertaking es-
adjustment. The tickets for
the family were good to
Sedalia only, and the husband
was possessed Of scarcely sufficient
funds to carry him to his destination,
but he determined to make the effort,
so anxious was his wife to reach the
home of her parents before death
her.
Here is certainly a man deservingof
in his hour of deep bereave-
ment, and the Bazoo teels satisfied
that the same will be extended to him
to-day.

Mrs. Morrison's Remains.

The remains of Mrs. Gertrude NJ
Morrison, the lady who died on
NJ, X Il t. train No. 154, at Green
Ridge, Monday night, were yesterday
morning forwarded to Armstrong,
Mo-, for interment. A collection of
something like $50 was taken up for
the benefit of the bereaved husband
and his four motherless little children,
and by reason of this assistance they
were enabled to resume their journey.
Officer Mason is deserving of especial
praise for the care and attention he
bestowed upon the unfortunate fam
lily, and once again was it demon
strated that he is the right man in the
right place.

MARSH'S MISFORTUNE.
His Residence and Contents De
strOyed by Fire Yester-
day Morning.

Esau Marsh, who resided in a one
story frame house of three rooms,
three miles north of Sedalia, met with
a heavy loss between 2 and 3 o'clock
yesterday morning by the destruction
of his home and contents.
Mr.. Marsh and family were spend
ing the nj ht with his ia her, setting
up with a sick child. They did not
leave anyone at home. as no fear was
entertained of their place being mo-
Tested. When Mr.. Marsh arose yes
terlay morning all that remained of
his home was smouldering mass of
ruins.
There is hardly a doubt but that the
fire was the work ofan incendiary-at
least this is the belief entertained by
Mr.. Marsh. There had been no fire
about the place during the entire
evening, and as he has had trouble
with a certain individual, he feels sat
isfed that the incendiary's torch was
applied.
The building was owned by Mr..
Marsh's father, j. G.. Marsh. 1t was
valued at 5000, and insured in the
Continental, of New York, for 800,
Messrs. Jackson & Meyers being the
local agents.
Mr.. Marsh, jr., places his loss at
$500. He holds a policy for 1915 in
the same company, and thinks he is
fortunate in realizing even this sum.

You Can. if You So Wish.

Sedalia has granted an electric light
franchise. Why can't Clinton do like
wise? 1t will cause the expenditure
of a considerable sum of money in our
city, and we do not have to patronize
it unless we see fit. 1t would be just
as sensible to argue against gas be-
cause it gives better light than coal
oil, or against coal oil because it beats
a tallow candle and has superseded
the candle as to claim that electric
light will do away with gas. Give us
both, and a survival of the fittest will
tell the tale. Clinton Democrat.

A Shabby Trick.

Yesterday morning some scoundrel
posted ON a telegraph pole at Second
and Ohio streets a notice of MEN
Wanted" Employment was offered
to 100 shovelers at s1.75 day, and
200 teams at $500 day. Those de-
string work were requested to call at
the BAzoo office.
During the forenoon numerous ap.
plications were received at this Office
for work, and those who applied were
not little disappointed when they
learned that the whole thing was a
sell. Such tricks as these are con-
temptible in the extreme, and could
the gully party have been apprehend-
ed he would undoubtedly have Jared
roughly.

Ths Powers Arranging Plan by Which the

Tbs Powers Arranging Plan by Which the
Greeks Can Be Let Down Easily
LONDON, May 4.-Lord Roseberry, Foreign
Secretary had a conference to-day with the
Greek, Italian, German. Russian, Austrian and
Turkish ministers. The representatives CT the
powers stated that their respective governments
were willing to consider the susceptibilities of
Greece and the difficulties by which the Greek
government is surrounded. but that no arrange
ment was possible unless Greece furnished
sufficient guarantees that che would disarm as
speedily as possible. A resolution smoothing the
way to overtures from Greece was handed to the
Greek minister.
The powers have instructed their ministers at
Athens to remain at their posts. 1t is believed
that the powers will accept a guarantee from
France that she will secure a disarmament of
Greece, and that they will not fix actual period
for it's accomplishment.
The British, Austrian and German ministers
here have received instructions regarding a
fresh collective note. 1t is reported that the
Turkish troops are advancing nearer the
frontier.

JEFF DAVIS NOT A HERO.
A Boston Mugwump Grows Excited Over the
Recent Glorifcation of the Rebellion.

Templeton, IN Boston Herald.
To my mind the most forlorn feature Of the
whole affair is in the attempt to exalt Jefferson
Davis into hero. I do not think that these
demonstrations show either good taste or good
Judgment on the part of the Southern people.
confess to have never been reconciled to the hon
oring of rebels against this government. When
was in New Orleans year ago. there was no
sight that grated upon my sensibilties so much
as did the monument to General Lee knew
it would never have been placed there were it
not that he had led the armies of the South in
rebellion against the government. Unsuccess-
full rebellions. even when their justice is some
thing which may be admitted, forfeit the right
to be commemorated under the government
which they have sought to overthrow.
How much stronger is the objection in
this case. when the injustice of rebellion
was so palpable! The sincerity, the earnestness.
may be conceded. would never press it upon
them to make humiliating ackno wledgement of
their error. They have done all that is neces-
sary on this point and to tauut them with their
fault is neither patriotic nor Christian. But the
fact remains that the American rebellion of
quarter of century ago was the most causeless
that history records. We knew that at the time
it was inaugurated. The Southern people should
know it now Most of them do know it. The
politicians who led the South INTO this rebellion
were even greater enemies of that section than
they were of our own. The sentimentalism,
therefore, that would make of Jefferson Davis
hero is about as disgusting as it is absurd. One
can appreciate, even sympathize with, the tie
that binds together men who went through
hardshps and brayed dangers in com
pany upon the battlefield; but the spirit
that honors the political leader who causelessly
involved his section in war; who in that war
brought ruin TO it from one end to the other, and
who at lest involved it In . defeat a. complete

THE LATEST FOREIGN NEWS.
Victoria Personally Supervises Open
ing of the Colonial Exhibition.
The Powers Turn Their Attention to Arrang-
ing Plan Whereby the Greeks Can Be
Let Down Without Being Hurt.
THE COLONIAL EXHIBITION.

The show Formally Opened by the Queen
Extracts from Tennyson's Ode
LONDON, May 4-The Queen formally opened
the Colonial Exhibition to-day. The weather
was beautiful, with brilliant sunshine. Crowds
gathered along the route taken by her Majesty
from Buckingham Palace and greeted her with
enthusiastic cheers. The main hall. in which
the opening ceremonies were conducted, was
crowded with the elite of London. The large
number Of foreign princes and diplomates who
attended in court dress. combined with the
scores of British officers present in full, glitter
ing uniforms, to make magnificent spectacle.
The Prince of Wales, the Duke of Edinburgh,
Prince Henry of Battenburg and his wife,
Princess Beatrice, and Crown Princess Victoria,
of Germany, led the royal procession throughout
the building and were followed by Lord Hart
ington, the Marquis of Salisbury, the Earl of
Derby, and scores of other noble and distin-
guished persons. Mr.. Gladstone was not pres
emit.
A prominent feature of the opening ceremo-
MES was the ode composed for the occasion by
Tennyson. This was magnifcently rendered by
a vast choir Of carefully seected voices. The
ode was sung just previous to the Queens for
NAL declaration that the exhibition was open.
The third portion of the ode was evidently COM
posed with view of stimulating international
fraternity between the two great English speak
ing nations, and is in the following words:
Britain fought her sons of yore;
Britain failed, and nevermore,
Careless of our growing kin,
Bhall we sin our fathers sin
Men that in a narrower day
Unprophetic rulers they
Drove from out the mothers nest
That young eagle of the West,
To forage for herself alone
Britons, hold your own"
The last part of the ode, which is in four Dor
tions, makes the following significant allusion to
the present crisis in British politics:
shall we not, through good and i'll.
Cleave to one another stills
Britain 8 myriad voices call
Sons, bewelded, each and all,
Into one imperial whole
One with Britain, heart and SOUL
One life, flag, feet one throne
Britons, hold your own,
And God guard ALL
The Queen was profoundly pleased with the
ode and the manner in which it was rendered by
the choir. She nodded and smiled with pleasure
and approval at each sentiment as it was brought
out, and seemed to exceedingly enjoy the enthu-
siasm which the poem and music provoked in
the vast concourse, whose applause was hearty,
enthusiastic and long continued.
