William Piper in a compromising
position with his (HOod's) wife last
night. Drawing a revolver he at
tempted to shoot Piper, but the pistol
snapped. The wronged husband

Piper's head, the burning oil running
in streams of fire over his body.
Both eyes were burned out and one
ear was burned off and his breast and

Children Cry for

Eloped With the Evangelist.

JOPLIN, Mo-, June 22.-There is
no longer any doubt that Mrs. J. Z.
Pearson, of this city, and the erst-
while evangelist, Leigh Vernon, went
away together. The father of the wo-
man, Rev. William Sparks, of Pitts
burg, Kan, has received letter from
his daughter, postmarked on rail-
way mail route in Canada, in which
she acknowledges that she is with
Vernon, and says that pursuit Of her
would be useless. While in Joplin
Vernon said he liked advertising, and
it is the purpose of the pastors All
lance, Of Joplin, to give him more
than he desires. 1t has been ascer.
tanned that Vernon approached other
women. While in Joplin he sent his
wife and two children to California
before leaving with Mrs. Pearson, and
has abandoned them. Several gentle
men prominent in church work loaned
Vernon various sums of money which
he has failed to repay.

Bureau Of information.

"The Burlington" has recently estab-
lished in a convenient quarter of its ele-
CANT and commodious passenger station, at
Chicago, an Office designed to afford travel
ers information on the thOusand-and-
things they need to know, with regard to
routes, rates, connections and accommoda-
tons. II has been placed in charge of an
experienced man, supplied with all rail-
way guides, maps and time tables, and is
known as the "Bureau of Information"
1t is place to which all travellers may
apply for information and receive full and
correct answer. This il the only Office of
the kind west of the sea-board cities, and
it cannot but prove . help and convenience
to the travelling public. All trains of the
Burlington" enter and depart from this
station, and the intelligent and valuable
service Of the Bureau may be enjoyed by
all patrons of this line.
A special pamphlet will be issued by
the Burlington" in the near future, giving
accurate information rs to "How to get to
the Worlds Fair grounds" "How to secure
rooms and board at the various hotels,
boarding and lodging houses.
Trustworthy agents will be at the {. b
4 @. depot in Chicago to impart all infor-
nation to visitors. Arrangements viii
probably be made BY which some trains
will be run direct to Che Worlds Fair

SOME RAILROAD FACTS.

The Springfield Leaier, goaded to
plain speaking by its frisky contempt
airy, the Democrat, contains the follow.
ing interesting hard-hitting facts that
throw much light on the Tidewater

F. Bently, and other prominent citi-
zens and capitalists who have signiiie,i
their earnestness by subscribing liberal
ly to the fund. These gentlemen and
fellow subscribers, from the largest to
the smallest, are promoters of the
public good and the efforts of the
Democrat to belittle them
and reflect upon their honesty
and sincerity show a determi-
nation on the part of that powerful
corporation to rule or rum. We can
see no provocation or justification for
the Democrats warefare on the men
who are using their best efforts and
their money to increase the wealth
and prosperity of the city. The
Democrat had an opportunity to sub
scribe TO the fund and get on In.

whole scheme was turned over to il,
which Mr.. Crandall and the board of
directors were unwilling to do, hence
these tears and lamentations. 1t,
claims that it has given world of
light on the subject and yet the
darkness is so dense that it cannot
penetrate and continues to call Tor
more light. 1t wants no brass
band overture That would be too
CAV and gaudy for a prim, proper and
possibly pure old lady like the Deu,-
crat, who has to proclaim to the world
every day that it is honest and truth
full, but for which declarations we
would be in perfect ignorance. 1t
doesn't believe that virtue is its own re-
and lest theirs be overlooked
or so refined as to require Warner
telescope to see it, constant protests
are made that Il am holier than
thou:' 1t modestly SAYS, capital
makes little noise and feels its way,'
which evidently means that the capt.
tai of the Democrat is brag and bus
ter, sound and fury signifying moth

THE DIRECT ROUTE EAST.

The Ohio and Mississippi K ailway, run
ming east from ST. Louis, is the short and
direct line to the National Capital, and
Offers through train service which is not
equaled by any other line. Ii is, properly
speaking, the only direct through car line
from the Mississippi River to Washington.
The Ohio and Mississippi Railway is
the only line running all trains through
solid from II. Louis 10 Cincinnati: the
time being less than ten hours: and the
only line running double daily lines of

from st. Louis to New York via Washing

The o. Il NJ. has an enviable reputation
Tor speed, comfort and safety, and the
regularity OF It's trains Is proverbial with
the travelling public ; in practice it almost
realizes the ambition OF every railroad
management-to have trains ALWAYS on
time
The popularity OF the o. * NJ Railway
compels it to run three daily trains TO Gin
cinnati and two to Louisville, to accommo-
date it, steadily increasing travel; fully
% per cent. OF the business from 81. Louis
to and via Cincinnati eastward being ac-
credited TO the o. " NJ.

RAILROAD ROBBERY.
The Lexington Depot Safe
Cracked and Rifled.

LEXINGTON, June 2l,-[Speciail +
The Missouri Pacific depot at
Lexington, Mo, was robbed last night
The robbers securing sl03 in money.
The robbery took place after mid
night, as the hands who work at the
depot do not leave much before that
hour. Holes had been drilled IN the
safe containing the money, and the
door blown open. No tickets in the
office were disturbed. No arrests
have yet been made, as no clues were
left to work upon. 1t is supposed,
that the burglars were professionals.

Prolific Arkansas.

ST. LOUIS, June 21.-Tom Rev.
nolds and his wife, with their family,
formed an interesting group at the
Union depot, and were the chief at
traction for hundreds of pairs of eyes
as they occupied the front seat in the
waiting room last night. Six years
ago they were married in Indiana,
and soon after the wedding started
west to grow up with the country.
Arkansas was chosen as their abiding
place, and Mr.. Reynolds began farm
ing on his own account. His first
crop of cereals was scarcely placed in
the granary ere his wife presented him
with pair of twin boys.
This increased his joys and
added to his expenses, but another
surprise came the next autumn in the
shape of a pair of bouncing baby
girls. n nurse was employed and
everything went well. His crops
were good, his kline were fat, and the
proud sire decided that the salu-
brious Arkansas climate was inst the
thing for his health. Last spring.
however a reversal of fortune came,
in financial sense, but to cheer him
up a kind hearted doctor came along
one day and before his bill was made
out presented the astoni>hed parent
with another pair of lusty babies, this
time boy and girl.
This action upon the part of the
doctor, decided Torn upon leaving that
fertile part of the country, and after
disposing of his stock at half price he
purchased tickets for Indiana, and
with the second pair of twins in hand.

A COMPROMISE MEASURE.
The Sherman Law Passed to
Thwart Free Coinage.

New York, June 21.-Ex-Senator
Edmunds in an interview to-day lays
the blame of the present financial diff
ficult:es upon the democrats. He
says the republicans consented to pass
the Sherman act only to prevent
democrats from passing a free coinage
act. The Sherman law is responsible
for the present difficulties, but it was
the lesser of two evils. He favors the
repeal of that law and the return to
financial policy which prevailed pre-
vious to 1873.

Rapid Decline.

Speaking Of Jasper county's female
horse thief and jail breaker the
Springfield Democrat seys:
Two years ago a school girl, now a
fugitive under the ban of horse steal.
ing and Jail breaking is the rapidity
with which May Calvin of Joplin has
made for herself a criminal record.
May Calvin and Mary Moedsker es-
capped from the Carthage Jail last
Thursday night by digging hole in
the brick wall of the building. They
let themselves down a distance Of
twenty feet by means of tying blank
cts together. There absence was
soon discovered and a posse started in
pursuit.
"Mary Moedsker was in jail on some
trivial Offense and was induced by
May Calvin to leave the Jail. The
Calvin girl, or woman was held await
ing trial on the charge of stealing a
horse in Joplin.
'The young criminal went from her
home in Thayer, three years ago to at
tend school in Webb City. She soon
fell from grace and her descent was
rapid. Leaving school, she joined
Robinson's circus at st. Louis, finally
drifting back to Webb City and Jop-
lin. She claims to be but II years
old, though her looks would indicate
30 years at least.
