tions in Reference to the Road.
Last week some OF the chief engineers OF
this road have been IN town nsy tbe
village, and along the line:
The Press and Banner did not see any OF
the engineers, but we learn that tney are
much pleased with the lower route, 70 Green.
wood which has heretofore Deen tnought 10
We are informed that the engineers say
that the lower route can be graded for $4,000
less money than the upper route, ana y Ills Is
teen miles, while the upper route 10 under
stood to be eighteen miles:
or course there is something In the starting
point. The upper and lower route. do not
come together at any place within the town,
and we are not informed as to the starting
places. when measurement was taken.
While the exact location Of the line may
not have been definitely settled. and while
| It may be changed in many places, yet we
think II certain that the general course ol
| the road will be on the lower route
In town the road will probably cross the
corner OF the colored grave yard. above the
former place which was once used FOR bap
tising, and below the Episcopal cemetery
crossing the stream, and passing In rear ol
Judge Cothran's house.
The line is at present run on Mr
Thomas Thomson's land, but 1t Is understood
that TO carry 1t there. a cut OF thirty feet vii
that a slight bend may be made, and the road
brought around the brow OF the DILL, oelong
\ ing TO Messrs A. NJ. Hill & Sons.
The location Of the depot, 1t is thought will
| be on the land of Mr.. Thomson, the Messrs
| Hill, or on the red hill between the Episcopal
cemetery and the public road leading to the
Blue Hill.
Nearly every body who has been applied to
has given the rights OF way and as the road
will run through no valuable land In the VII
| lage, we presume no trouble need be appre
hended on that score.
Contracts for grading are to be awarded at
an early day, and 1t is said that the grading
would be finished to Abbeville by next Feb
Three thousand hands are reported to be OF
work this side Of Chester. ~
The engineers are now on their way from
Greenwood to Abbeville on e new survey
they expect to be at Abbeville next Mon
day.

ELECTION AFTERMATH.
The democratic Candidate for
School Commissioners has
Walk Away.

j. w. Knight will be the next
school commissioner of Pettis county
by large, if not larger majority.
County Clerk Mitchell, had re-
ceived the official returns from 81 dis
tricts at two o'clock this afternoon.
There are 81 districts to be heard
from. The 81 districts return a ma
jority of 297 for knight, the demo-
cratic nominee. From the best esti-
mates that can be obtained at
this hour, Knights majority will
reach, if not exceed $50. Longwood
district gave Knight ~ vores and
Durand 5000. There is not as much
talk about a libIe suit as there was
on the night previous to the election
when an unripe young newspaper
man was working his mouth for all it
was worth and more too.

Switchman Cooley Falls Under a
car and is Terribly Mangled.

George F. Cooley, night foreman
in the NJ. N. q I. yards, had an &C.
cident this morning that may result
in his death. At half past six o'clock
this morning at the crossing of Fifth
street and the railroad, Cooley stepped
between two cars to pull pin and as
he turned around to get out again an
iron silver projecting from the rail
beneath him caught his shoe and
threw him on his face with shis shout
der across the rail and before he
could arise the first pair of trucks of
the car nearest him passed over him
severing his left arm and crushing his
shoulder badly. The other trainmen
were soon made aware of the fact and
medical aid and the hospital ambu-
lance were at once Summoned. Cool
ey was taken to the NJ. K. & L. hos
pital and his wife notified of the acct
dent and Immediately started to the
bedside of her husband at the hospit-

small children live at 1913 East Sixth

eight hundred dollars lfrom the Union

At three o'clock Cooley was sill
alive but very little hopes are enter
tanned of his recovery. A consulta-

A LUSUS NATURE.
A Sedalia Pig With One Eye and
an Elephants Trunk.

On Yesterday a SOW belonging to
Mrs Maria Bond, a colorcd woman,
living In North Sedalia, gave birth to
litter of five pigs, four of whom
were all right, while the fifth is an ex-
traOrdinary freak of nature. The pig
is entirely destitute Of hair, Its skin
being as soft and smooth as that of
an infant. Instead of two eyes it has
one abnormally large eye in
the centre of the forehead. The
nose is shaped like that
of the sheep with an over-hanging
upper lip. The most singular feature
of the incipient porker, however, is a
growth of tissue from the forehead
just above the eye, projecting forward
and downward, which is about two
and a half inches in length and re-
sembles an elephants proboscis. The
animal certainly presents wonderful
aspect. 1t only lived about ten min
utes after being born but the body
will be preserved in alcohol as a

AN EXCITING CHASE.
An Injured Husband Chases a
Bad railroad Engineer All
Over The Yards.

East Sedalia is rolling q morsel of
scandal under its tongue, that will
bear relating, emitting the names of
the parties implicated in the unsavory
episode.
A hostler in the Missouri Pacific
round house is the pOssesser in fee
simple OF a pretty wife, whose charms
have attracted the attention of one of
the yard engineers. himself married
man, but addicted to wandering
off after strange gods. One night
last week, so the report
runs, this gay and giddy knight of
the throttle dispatched a note to
Mrs. HOstler seeking a rendezverz.
In some unexplained manner the bill
let-dOux fell into the hands of Mr..
Hostler, whereat he waxed wroth and
glrded up his loins for the fray. A
few minutes afterward the engineer
passed down by the round house and
the hOstler hailed him:
us that you-p
Eyes" said the engineer stopping
his engine; "what do you want?"
Il want you, cd d-n you," re-
piled the hostler, and he sprang up
into the cab. The engineer at
once recognized his assailant and
leaped off on the other side and ran
tor dear life with the hostler after him.
Up and down and around the shops
and round houses flew the pursued
and the pursuer, until finally the en-
gineer reached his again. Jumping
into the cab he pulled the throttle wide
open and went flying down the tracks
while his winded antagonist could DO
but swear and shake his fist
at the vanishing engine. 1t is said
by those who are on the inside that
the end is not vet.

What a Pretty Baby.

Is it q boy or girl? How often do we
hear this remark and question. Yes, it is
a pretty baby, but how bad its mother
looks. She looks as if she were going
right down. She is SO thin and yellow,
and her face is covered with wrinkles and
blOtches. She seems so nervous and irri-
table too; but it is easy to account for her
condition. Childbirth has left her with
prolapsus or other displacements, poisoned
blood, snd disordered state of the stom-
ach and bowels. The best thing she can
do is TO use at once DIR. Pierce's Favorite
Prescription which has been prepared for
the express need of women in this con-
dition. All druggists.

cent china dinner set containing los
pieces, the following contributing
Messrs. Will Scars, &. +. West, Peter
Meyers, Frank Vollmer, Walter Zim-
merscheih, Louis Edgar. Misses Mary
O'Brien, Maggie Howe, Mamie Carr

During the evening some beautiful
music was rendered on the piano and
violin by Miss Pearson, Master Willie
Hert and little Miss Emily Hert.
Master Willie Hert is a
prodigy In music, he
having besn the drummer boy in the
California cornet band when only six
years of age. Since that time he has
made rapid progress in music and now
plays equally well ia the band, on the
organ, piano or violin.
Indeed it may be said in conclusion
that in every feature the wedding was
well managed and very enjoyable to
the many guests present.
Mr.. and. Mrs. Ludeman, will forego
a wedding tour and IN about a weeks
time will be at home at 1908 Ohio
street, where the good wishes of.7heir
friends will follow them and where
the BAzoo trusts peace, happiness
and prosperity will attend them.
