a LOOSE RAIL.

Passenger Train Thrown From the Track
Probably the Work Of Train Robbers
-Forty Five People More or Less Hurt.
ST. LOUIS, May 25.-The westbound train
on the St Louis and San Francisco rail.
road which left 81 Louis last night at S:1D
was wrecked at point three miles west

eight miles west Of st. Louis Not pas.
senger escaped unhurt and fifteen are
known to have been seriously injured,
though no deaths are yet reported. The
train was runnin at high rate Of speed,
when suddenly and without warning, the
track gave away and the locomotive, bag
gage car and I've coaches went over
the embankment The trainmen and
those only slightly injured at once set to
work to prevent the additional horror Of
fire, In which they succeeded, and then
turned their attention to the more un I.
fortunate injured, and in a very short
time forty five passen gers, all badly hurt,
had been released from the debris. A
temporary hospital was improvlsed at
Sullivan, and the most seriously injured
were taken there, while others were
brought to St Louis on the relief train,
which was hurried to che scene Of disaster.
The wounded are under the care of DR..
Mcintyre, chief surgeon Of the road. The
explanation given OF 1t by the trainmen to
the passengers was that the spikes and
fish .plates had been removed from the
rail at the curve, thus leaving the rail
loose on the ties. The forward portion Of
the locomotive passed the place all right,
but the tender jumped the track and was
thrown part Of the way down an embank.
msnt 1t would probably have gone tho
entire distance had not the forward end
held 1t up. Who removed the spikes and
plates Is not known, but the suppositlon Is
the work was done by train robbers, who
wanted to hold up the train. Still no rob.
bers put in an appearances, and, IL the ac-
cident was caused by them, they must
have either weakened on their purpose, or
have thrown the wrong train and were
not prepared to do their work at that
time.

CHICAGO May 23.--The dead body of DR..
p. II. Cronin, the Irish American who
strangely disappeared from his home in
Chicago two weeks ago, was found last

wore next his skin Suspended about his
neck, was untouched. On the dead mans
head wero dozen deop cuts, which had
severed the scalp and indented the
skull. 1t Is the opinion Of the po-
lice that Cronin was foully murdered
and by some man who could not bring
himself to disturb Catholic trinket.
Much excitement was shown at the detec.
tive headquarters when doubt - to the
identity Of the body was finally removed
by definite messages from Lakeview. The
body has been fully identified by mum.

ready decided was the scene Of the mur-

night, brand new key. Tho officers de-
cided at once to try it in tho lock of the
mysterious trunk found by the road

appeared. The key fitted exactly.
All doubt now seems to be re.
moved Of genuine connection between
the prisoner Woodruff, the Doctors dead

to obliterate the crime but the work was
badly done, and crimson spots are to be

Puck says: "Tbe white man who drives q
coal cart has to resort to soap and water, just
as does negro who has spent the day in white
Washing"
But the most strange things of all are usually
resorted to when man gets sick
OF course he doesn't want doctor-at least
not at first he usually goes to the so.called
saloon and gets drink, which makes him feel
rather dazed, so he takes another, and comes
home temporarily elated, supposing himself
cured.
When he wakes next morning, with head.
ache twice as bad as ever, and feeling feverish
and cross, he concludes he will have to try
something else.
He takes dose of whatever he happens to
have ip the house-some liver rrepovator, kidney
evaporator, or heart rnlarger-and sets forth
saying II he isn't better to morrow he will send
for the doctor.
Next morniug be is sick in he'd the doctor
is called, shakes his head. prtscribes two or
three kiuds of medicine, according to his med
ical cretd, but always insists upon perfect
quiet, and that the patient must not go to his
Office for two weeks. or the result will be serious

must deny themselves everything but the COM
mon necessities of life for some time to come,
in order that the doctors bill may be paid, and

The Doctors Puxx1ed-sku11 Not Fractured
and No signs Of sufocaticn.
CHICAGO, May M-Lass night thirty
hours after the discovery Of DR.. Cronin's
corpse, the mystery Of his death had
deepened, not cleared. The manner Of his
taking of Is now the darkest secret Of all.
Ithas been almost conclusively shown that,
contrary to appearance, his skull was not
cloven, or even fractured. There Is abso-
lutte certainty that the man was
not strangled. The doctors are
completely puzzled. The Begin
ming OF the post mortem took
place early last evening. In preparation
the Morgue was cleared of all idlers and
curiosity seekers and the physicians be-
gan the post examination Of tho
body. This examination was most care.
fully made, and kept half dozen doctors
at work nearly three hours. Dr. Todd,
the county physician, and his assist
ant DR.. Egbert, directed the exam
ination. The skull was cut open and
the brain removed. After the scalp had
been taken of the physician discovered
that the bones composing the skull had
scarcely been marked by the blows Of the
sharp instrument which It was thought
caused tho DOCTORS death. There was no
sign of congestion about the brain, hut
the lungs AMI pulmonary cavity were
filed with blood. The physicians said
that this might have resulted from the
fact that Dr. Cronin's body was
placed head downward in the catch. .ba-
sin. A cut one.half inch de,p was found
upon the neck, and several bruises upon
the lower limbs. The theory that he was
choked TO death was easily exploded.
The doctors found no signs Of suffocation,
and discovered no bruises about the neck
such as would result from strangling a
man with towel or rope. The passage
through the windpipe was unobst, ucted.
The physicians present were taken aback
on finding there was no fracture Of any of
the skull bones or small bones about the
face. Even the inner table Of the skull
was unfractured. DR.. Todd was of tho
opinion that the cuts in Cronin's scalp
must have been made by a knife or some
lighter weapon than an ice.pick or
hatchet, but could not account for the
cause of death, except from the contu sions
resulting from severe blows.
