Last Sunday night, about the time
the tremendous freshet which has de-
wasted this whole section was gaining
its full strength, stock train coming
north ran into a washed-out bridge
near Sabula. The engine was ditched,
but the fireman and engineer escaped
the former without hurt, but the latter
rather seriously injured. Two brake
men on the head-end of the cabOOse
were thrown to the ground, and one of
them, Charles Royce. was killed. He
fell on the track, and the forward trucks
of the caboose ran upon and rested on
his body; and so his comrades found
him. Help was obtained, and he was
removed and carried into the cabOOse.
HIS body was taken to st. Louis Thurs
day, on a special, as soon as the breaks
in the road could be repaired. The
engineer was also taken to the city.
The wrecked train was in charge of
Conductor Gregg. but, so far as we can
learn, no blame for the accident at
t;ches to him. An inquest was held,
and the jury summoned by Coroner
Hull found that Royce's death resulted.

Last Thursday night at Hogan, Mo-,
Ed. Brennan, from Syracuse, \. Y,
was very seriously injured by one of
the passenger trains going south. 1t
appears that he had been put off there,
and. after the train had started, he
attempted to climb on again. His leg
was caught by an iron appendage of
the cattle-guard and crushed. He fell
and the heel of the other foot got I'M
der the wheels and was partly cut Off
The luckless man was taken into the
station-hOuse and lay there until next
day about one o'clock, under the treat
ment of DR.. NifOng, who did all that
he could under the circumstances to
relieve the sufferer. when he was
brought on a passenger train to Iron
ton and placed in the depot here.
There was a question as to whether the
railroad company should take care of
him. or he should be taken charge of
by the county. After considerable
correspondence by wire between the
authorities and the railway officials,
Judge Holloman had him transferred
to the Hancock House. near the depot.
and Drs. Goulding. Patton. Strong and
NifOng decided that amputation of the
broken leg was necessary. The Oper-
alton was accordingly performed, and
ut this date the patient is apparently
doing well. He Is evidently man of
reputable antecedents. though in hard
luck just now. According to his own
account. he played the races" in East
st. Louis and came out second best;
hence the necessity of attempting to
to work" his way. Be this as it may,
We think it a shame against civilization
that he should have been permitted to
suffer with manglcd limbs for eighteen
hours before receiving the attention
his situation demanded. and hope never
again to have to record such Il case.
Rev. DIN Ward Rose is one who de-
serves the commentator of all for his
kind ministratiOns and efforts to relieve
the agonies of the unfortunate man;
and we are sure that if the patient re-
covers he will long bear grateful re-
