Four electric cars were placed Oh
the electric railroad yesterday after
noon and each made experimental
trips between the power house and
Fifth street. The tests made were
highly satisfactory, speed of thirty
miles an hour being easily attained.
The handsome cars were Gro Sded with
grown people and children, who en-,
joyed rapid transit.
Material for the electric road is
distributed along Ohio street as far
north as the BAzoo Office, and before
next Saturday the road will be in
operation to the union depot.

Yesterday forenoon Missouri Pa
cifc west bound freight train was
bowling down grade at the rate of
thirty miles an hour near Walnut
when "driver' flew off the axle OF
engine No. $50. The bars flew
around like tbrashing fail
driven by electricity and
in a jiffy the cab was smashed into
splinters and other parts stripped.
Engineer James l.. West. before he
could get out of reach of the flying
bars, was terribly injured. Three
ribs were broken, one ankle fractured
and a knee cap torn loose. 1t
was proposed to take the
wounded man to the Missouri Pacific
hospital at Kansas, City, but he pre-
ferred to be brought to his home in
this city and his request was granted.
DIR. Dresel dressed the injured mans
wounds, and he was resting quite
comfortably this morning.
The cause of the driver being
thrown was the breaking of the axle,
which had an old flaw reaching three
fourths through its diameter.

Parents are often in doubt where to
send their sons to school. Those who
have personally seen the workings of Cen
trail Business college never are, since the
merit of this institution is apparent at
first glance, Its course of instruction is
adapted to the necessary and essential
wants of every day life. Its aim is not
simply to fit young men for business
but to prepare them FOR the
duties of useful and honorable life by
throwing good influences around them and
IN such manner as will teach them TO
respect their character. Its instruction is
adapted to the farmer mechanic and pro-
fessional man, as well as to the man of
business. 1t Is an error to suppose that all
its pupils intend to become book-keepers.
Indeed many have no such intention on
entering, but desire simply to have reliable
and practical education which shall help
them to gain living at whatever. calling
they may chose to adopt. All of its
graduates, however, are able to keep books
or manage mercantile business properly,
if they 80 wish, thus having an honorable

STATE BAR ASSOCIATION.
An Interesting Letter From Elk.

EXCELSIOR SPRINGS. Mo. June 26 80.
The State Bar Association which
met here in its ninth annual session
ON the oath, and adjourned this morn
Ing, had the slimmest attendance of
any during recent years. This was
accounted for by the officers of the
association as being because former
experiences in small and Incommodi-
Gus hotels had led the great mass of
the members to prefer staying at home
to encumbering the unusual heat in
crowded quarters. Had they known
of the splendid accommodations here,
where 500 guests can be entertained
at one time in as much comfort as
at the best hotels in st. Louis,
the gathering would have been much
larger. But, failure as it was in point
Of members, only about seventy mem
bers being present, it was an exceed
ingly important meeting SO far as the
objects of the association
are concerned. A very important
step was the appointment of a COM
mittee consisting of Edwin Silver, of
jefferson City, chairman; r. III.
Kern, of St. Louis; E. p. Gates, of
Kansas City; j. j. Russell and An
drew Ellison, to prepare data and ar
guments to circulate among the peo-
pie urging them to vote next Novem-
Der In favor of the constitutional
amendment to INCREASE the members
of of the supreme court judges, and to
divide the court into two branches,
one to take care of the criminal ap.
peals, and the other and more runner
GUS body to attend to the civil cases.
The court is now over six hundred
cases behind on IFS docket and the ar
rearage is increasing weekly. With
the increased membership it is calcu-
lated that the court could "cateh up"
in three or four years.
A most remarkable address was de-
livered by Col. James o. Broadhead,
during the meeting, attacking the de-
cision of the United States supreme
court in the Iowa original package"
case, which he contended was un-
constitutional and dangerous inva-
sion of the reserved police powers of
the states and one that was fraught
with the greatest danger to the future
of our free fern of government. Very
valuable papers were, also, read by
Hon. B. @ Boone, of Clinton, on
constitutional guarantees and by Hon
G. G. Aller, of St. Louis, on the ex-
listing special jury law, to which he is
strenuously opposed. Last evening
the members sat down to an elegant
banquet at the Films, at which they
were accompanied and cheered by
the presence of a large number of
ladies who were gallantlYIn to join
in the festivities. This is quite new
departure for the Bar association and
shows that even lawyers, being at
least partly human, are not utterly
irredemable.
Among the most popular of the
guests here is Mr.. r. T. Gentry, of
Sedalia. He has been at the springs
ever since the St. Joseph convention
and proposes remaining some weeks
longer, during which he will be Joined
by his sisters, Mrs. Shelton, of st.
Louis, and Mrs. Duke, of Kansas
City.
