Death of william Ditton.

Mr.. William Ditton, an old and well
k own citizen, died at his residence, on
East Fifth street. Sunday afternoon at 3
o'clock, aged g. years, after an illness of
very brief duration. He was taken sick
one week ago Sunday with pneumonia,
which disease was aggravated by asthma,
from which he had previously suffered at
various times.
Deceased was born in England, but
came TO this country when quite q young
man. He located in Sedslia in 1870, en-
tering the employ of the NJ, z. & 7 rail-
road company. For many years he was
night foreman in the locomotive depart
ment where he acquired an enviable repu-
tation among his subordinates and the en-
ployes In other departments. He leaves q
wife and four sons, Benjamin, William r,
Hudson and Nelson. The latter Is q con-
ductor on the Fort Scott & Gulf road, and
arrived with his " life yesterday in response
TO the telegram conveying the sad inteli-
gence.
The funeral will take place at O'Clock
this afternoon from the family residence,

and true men as any of themselves, or any
of us.
From the facts above stated, from the
previous uttr RANGES of the Knights of
Labor, the conclusion is irresistibly borne
IN upon US that they are responsible for the
outrages and acts of violence which have
disgraced this city during the past two
weeks.
The position of the railway employees,
other than the Knights OF Labor, we hold
To De highly commendable, and.
We think that the citizens of
Sedalia owe debt of gratitude to those
engineers, conductors, 6remen and brake
men who. have so discharged their duty as
to win enconiums of praise from all
right thinking men. And particularly are
the thanks of the community due those
brave men who have ris<ed their lives in
the discharge OF their duties.
To all good citizens, whatever be their
conditions or ayocatiOn, we extend
hearty invitation to join the league, as
We believe its action end its influence will
result in great cool 10 this city and its
inhabitants. Let US unite in suppressing
disorder, remove from our city the stain OF
anarchy and socialism, which now rests
upon il, ami re-establish our reputation a.
a prosperous, peaceful, and law abiding
people. BY ORDER OF THE LEAGUE

Death of Mai. G. w. Nelson.

From gentleman who arrived from the
west " sterday, the BAZOO learned of the
death Of Maj. G. w. Nelson, for several
years resident of this city, at Abilene,
Kas., on Sunday last. No particulars of
the death were ascertained. Maj. Nelson
was a genial and whole-souled gentleman,
and had many friends in this city who will
receive the sad intelligence of bis demise
with profound regret. He came to
Sedalia IN the fall of 1880, and
accepted the position of cutter in the
merchant tailoring establishment of John
Walmsley & Co. He remained in the en-
plOy of this firm about two and half
years. when he accepted similar position
with w. j. Klein. He remained there but
a short time and removed to Marshall from
whence, after brief stay, he went 20 Ne
vada. 1t was at that place that his friends
In this city last heard from him. The
major was considered an adept in his basi-
ness. He at one time in New York held
position which commanded the princeiy
salary of $1,000 year. He at various
time held other lucrative situations, but
he was always open-hearted and free
handed, AMI hence never amassed any con-
siderable sum out of his large earnin,s.
His family are among the best people In
the east. Three of his sons are holding
positions. He had many rela-
tives in New York state and sister re-
siding in Newton, Iowa. His first wife
died number of years ago and he was
married the second time to Miss Inmsr, of
this city, during his residence here.

Also With Others.

There was more excitement In Sc
dalia last night than has been known al
any time since the Inauguration of the
strike, and not without cause, either.
At 2:30 o'clock p. m. the Missouri
Pacific railway company made a fifth
attempt to resume freight traffic over
their road. The officials succeeded In
getting an engineer and fireman who
we're not to be frightened because
some striker or knight of Labor held
mp his finger. or presented them with
. note, and the trip was entered upon
most auspicuously. At a point three
miles east of the city, however, a rail
from which the fsh-plates had been
removed and the spikes withdrawn
was encountered. which resulted in
the derailing of the engine and five
cars, three of the latter being badly
demolished. Nor was this all. Super
intendent Frey, Trainmaster Lyon and
ethers sustained slight injuries, while
Special Officer Neil had leg broken
and Officer Mason sustained tract
sre of the arm and ugly cuts and
bruises about the head and face. The
particulars of this most damnable affair
will no doubt be read with interest, as
the crime was the only theme of con-
versation on the streets last night.
THE LAST CALL.
During the forenoon Superintend-
ent Sibley addressed communication
10 Mayor Hickman and Sheriff Muir
ray, saying he desired to make an
other effort to resume freight traffic
and he would like to have a sufficient
number of men on hand to prevent
the strikers capturing the train in
case they were disposed to do so.
In compliance with Mr.. Sibley's
request, the officials referred to
caused the regular police force of the
city and large delegation of special
men 10 repair to the conpany's yards
at 2 o'clock, and the former were
stationed in the immediate vicinity of
the train which stood made up, while
the specials proceeded outside the
city limits, for the purpose of doing
duty in the vicinity of the stock
yards.
Engineer N. A. Bradley and Fire
man John Bresnehan were the men
who had been selected to make the
trip, and the officials felt nfdent
there would be no weakening when
she time for departing arrived. In
this they were not mistaken, for no
hrarer men ever mount d an engine,
and their conduct was in pleasing
contrast to the exhibitions given by |

A Coal Thief.

Eli Scheer, the alleged "Indian DOCTOR he
Of the long hair,was yesterday convicted in
Justice Marvin's court of the charge OF
stealing coal. He was fined 81 and costs,
amounting to $l3.45, and being unable to
liquidate was committed to the county
Jail.
Scheer stated in court that Railroad
Policeman Mason had given him permits
sion to supply himself with coal from the
cars in the yard, which he had been doing
for some time, and on the day
that he was arrested he had been
laying in larger supply than usual,
as he anticipated being absent from home
for several days The existence of any
such arrangement was of course d MED by
Mas ID, and thus vanished "the doctors"
only hope of escaping from the conse-
quences of his little coal transaction.

ANOTHER VIEW.

There were few present, however,
who pronounced it an act
of Providence. They hooted at the
idea of an attempt at train wrecking.
This was view entertained by only q
few, though, and if the BAzoo was
rightly informed these few are Knights
of Labor.
BRADLEY was running about thirty
miles an hour" said one individual.

CATcQ 10 Wltn6ss.
The curious at once began an in
vestigation as TO the cause of the
accident, and were not long in solving
it to their entire satisfaction. Where
the two rails on the north side of the
track were joined together, the bolts
had been taken out and the fsh-bars
removed and tossed on the bank.
Half q dozen spikes were drawn, after
which the rail was moved some
three inches out of line to the south,
making it impossible for the engine to
pass without being derailed. The
print of the bar used in drawing the
spikes was plainly visible, and every
thing went to show that the perpetra-
tors of the crime had set to work de-
liberately to wreck the train and take
human life if necessary.

UNIVERSALLY COMMENDED.
The conduct of Engineer Bradley
and Fireman Bresnehan was COM
mended on all sides except by the
strikers and their sympathizers. None
but brave men would attempt the trip
under such circumstances, but these
men proved equal to the emergency,
and the BAzoo says all honor to them.
A prominent engineer said to a rep
resentative of this paper last night:
owe engineers have made up our
minds to 60 out whenever called
upon. We will not run twenty
miles an hour, but will bowl
along at a speed that will enable us to
jump from onr engines in case we dis
cover anything wrong. The wreck of
to-day will not prevent us from doing
our duty and living up to our con-
tract with the company"
1t is understood that Engineer
Bradley is not alarmed at his expert.
ence of yesterday, and will be on deck
again with his fireman when his turn
comes.
