HE SAVED THE TRAIN.

An Engineer Drives Through Wreck
He Could Not Avoid.
A horrible catastrophe was averted
on the Lake Shore q Michigan South
ern Railroad on the 18th, near Silver
Creek, Pa, through the bravery and
cool-headed conduct of an engineer.
A detached section of an east
bound freight train had been run
into by another section of the
freight, and portion of the debris
was thrown down on the west-bound
track lust as No. 5 fast train was going
west. Engineer John Burns, of Buffalo,
of the passenger train, was coming
down the hill at the rate of fifty
miles an hour; he saw truck ahead
and then a freight car. He saw an
attempt to stop his train and jump would
sacrifice the lives of his $50 passengers.
His fireman had left him, and freight
cars mounted one another ahead. In a
flash of a second Engineer Burns re-
solved to stand by his post,
and springing from his seat behind
the boiler, he put on every pound OF
steam, and opening his sand-box, SO as
to get firner hold on the track, the
iron monster Ed. Gallup gave snort
and sprang forward, threw the truck
and cut through the freight car and 9TH
er debris. Burns, with wonderful forti-
tude, held the lever, and, the moment
he had cleared the obstruction, re-
versed his engine and threw on the air
brake. AS the train entered the wreck,
the sides were torn out of three coaches.
The screams of women rose high above
the screeChing of the steam. AL
though the Ed. Gallup was dismantled,
brave Engineer Burns emerged from
the debris alive, but covered with scars
and bruises. Stout-hearted men en-
braced the brave engineer Historically,
realizing that his heroism had saved
the train. Only one passenger was Sc
riously injured, and that was Mrs. Mary
Kane, of Denniston, o., who was IN the
smoker. Her injuries are internal, and
several ribs are broken. She was
placed in the Hanoi Hospital at
Erie Joseph Myers, of Cleve-
land, was badly hurt about the
head. Little Susie Neither, daughter
of David Neither, of Chicago, shoulder
dislocated; News Agent John Quinn, of
Buffalo, arm hurt. A number of others
were slightly hurt. Strange to say, not
a car in the train left the track, and
Judge s. S. Burke, president of the To-
ledo & Ohio Central Railroad, who was
on the train, pronounced it the most
wonderful escape on record. After the
people got quoted G. M. Splitter, a
Boston banker, headed list, and over
800 were presented to Engineer Burns
by the passengers.

A GREAT ARCHITECT DEAD
A. Il, MulIett, Who Designed Many Gov
eminent Buildings.

ernnenC buildings
A. B. Mullett, famous as the govern,
ment architect under Lincoln ana
Grant. shot himself in the temple on
the NIGHT of the Goth, at his home on
Pennsylvania Avenue and Twenty fifth
Street, Washington. He has been re-
garded as half insane for many years,
and of late, since he lost his
claim against the government 1or
extra compensation for planning
the state, war and navy buildings his
mind has gone rapidly from bad to
worse. On the evening of his death he
was feeling poorly, and his wife went
down stairs to get him some beef tea.
she had barely reached the foot of the
stairs when she heard pistol shot,
and, rushing back, found her husband
gasping for breath, with the blood ooz-
ing from wound in his head. doc
tor was Immediately summoned, but
Mr.. Mullett died in few minutes.
Later in the evening the coroner was
summoned and after an examination OF
the body gave verdict of death from
suicide due to melancholia. The re-
mains of Mr.. Mullett will probably be
taken to Cincinnati for interment. The
funeral arrangements, however, will not
be settled definitely until Mrs. Mullett

who is at present in Kansas City.
Mr.. Mulctt was 56 years old, and was
very we'll known all over the country.
He was man of great activity, and
made his impress more lasting on the
public buildings of the United States
than any other man who ever held the
position of government architect. He
planned the New York and Chi
cago post-offices, and upwards
of fifty post-otfices and custom
houses in various parts of the
country. The only building of his in
Wisconsin is the post-oflice in Madison.
He was an Ohio man who first attracted
attention by his work in Cincinnati.
Salmon p. Chase called him to Wash
ington in 1861, to take a confidential
place in the treasury, and it was not
long before he became supervising
architect. Long used to using plenty of
money in government employ he led
his private clerk often into
surprising expense. His most
conspicuous difficulty of late in this re-
spect was with ex-SurgeonGeneral
Hammond, for whom Mullett built a
huge house and sanitarium, SO big that
Hammond had to finish them out with q
mortgage of $l50,00O. The little archi-
tect was intensely loyal and always a
warm party man. In spite OF all stories
to the contrary he was scrupulously hon
est with government funds and lived
and died very poor.

children, four of whom are in Washing
ton and one in Kansas City. His moth

side in Kansas City Mr.. Mullett had a
severe attack of grip last winter from
which he still suffered. For the past
few months he had been at times de-
spondent and gloomy. He had built
several houses recently that he could
not dispose of and this preyed upon his
mind: Mrs. Mullett is completely pros

About o'clock on the evening of the
10Th an electric light wire became
crossed with Western Union telegraph
wire, causing the burning out Of the
wires running from the tower to the
witch-board in the operating room OF
the Western Union telegraph office in
Boston. The woodwork in the tower
caught fire, but was extinguished with
slight damage. The loss of the wires
completely isolated the Boston office,
and communication was not restored
until after 10 O'Clock, when one or two
wires to New York were obtained.

Warming the Convicts.

Fire broke out in the oil rooms of the
Cherry Morrow Manufacturing Com
pany, situated within the walls of the
state penitentiary at Nashville, Tenn,
on the 18th. The flames spread rapidly,
and the entire plant OF the manufacture
ing company was destroyed. No con-
victs were in this portion of the prison,
and the origin of the fire is unaccount-
harmed, and all the convicts had been
safely housed there for the night before
the fire began. 1t is estimated that the
losses will amount to 5000 No es-
capes or casualties occurred.

A number of prominent Chicago and
Detroit capitalists and electricians have
associated themselves together to in
troduce the electric street railroad in
ventions of Frank B. Rae, of Chicago,
who has been devoting the past two
years at the Detroit Electrical Works
II perfecting the present system of
electric railroad propulsion. He has
produced an entirely new and novel
any sized car to be run with one motor
instead of two, reducing the cost Of
m aintenance and repairs one half, and
doing away with all noise and the pro-
fuse use of oil, which are now the chief
objections to the other electric motors.

resumed before Magistrates Irwin and

who gave evidence yesterday for the
Crown testified that he had since been
lold that thereafter his family would
not be supplied with milk. A discus
sion followed between the counsel en-
gagged in the case, in the course of which
V. Is. Dillon, of counsel for the defend

charge Mr.. Baltour with contempt of

A curious and desperate assault was
made upon an ex-gambler named 2. j.
Quinn, on the night of the Goth, in
Union Park, Chicago. Two men sud
denly confronted Quinn on Lake Street,
lonesome thoroughfare which
forms the parks north boun-
dry. Quinn was compelled to
hurriedly strip to the waist. an argu-
ment in the shape of 3S-caliber revol-
yer greatly assisting in accelerating his
movements. A small tin bucket of tar
was quickly poured over him and a
handful of feathers added by way of
adornment. Then Quinn's assailants
knocked him down, kicked him re-
peatedly in the small of the back and in
the pit of the stomach, rendering him
insensible for over an hour. He
was found by some people who were
strolling through the park and the po-
lice were notified, but there was no
trace of the assailants. Quinn has late
~ been posing as reformed gambler,
writing book on gamblers methods,
and is supposed to have incurred the
enmity of the fraternity Sporting
men, however, scout the idea that any
such motive provoked the assault.

COMING IN A RUSH.
Kansas Counties Want to be Represented in
the immigration Bureau Book--The
Work OF the Bureau.

Tho secretary of the immigration Bureau
yesterday received matter for the state
book from twenty-one counties. This
makes oyer half the counties in the state
responding with copy and contribution to
help bear the expense of printing the book.
The committee having the book in charge
is at work day and night revising matter,
editing it, making it ready for the printer
and reading proof The members have
reached the conclusion that it takes good
deal of work to get out book such as they
mapped out for the good of Kansas but
the job has been attempted and they must
succeed. The book, it is thought, will be
of more than usual merit; of more value
than had been anticipated and will. as
believed, give an eastern reader fair idea
Of Kansas and give him chance to see if
in Kansas he could find better advantages
than where he is, This is the object of the
publication.
The list of names for the mailing list
has already reached the modest number of
fifty thousand and growing more rapidly
every day. The eastern workers are send
ing in long and valuable lists as well as
the organizations from the counties
througout the state. Three clerks are
kept busy arranging mailing list and look
ing after the routine work Of the bureau.
A letter was received yesterday which
makes it reasonably sure that the Eastern
Passenger associations will act favorably
on the matter of rates which received its
start from the Trans Missouri association
at its Omaha meeting.
