A Handsome Remembrance.
OuTs very lfiIY,
j. j. Frey, General Manager.

Capt. T. c. Holland is quite happy
to-day over the receipt of a beautiful
little remembrance in the shape of Il
silver pin in the design of two flags,
one the conquered banner the
other "old glory" The finish is a
dainty bit Of enameling and the pin
would be an ornament either as Il
badge or an emblem. The donor, Capt.
w. b. Freeman, general agent OF the
New York Life Insurance company
at Richmond, Va, states in letter
to the captain that he belieyes>the de
sign originated al a meeting of the G.
A. r., and ex-confederate> some
where in the west, but does
not know where. 1t was executed
by Richmond artists on an order given
by the ladies of Richmond, who are
holding a bazaar al that place.
Captain Holland SAYS the design
was suggested during the meeting of
the blue and gray in this city about
two years ago, and it was thought at
the time it would be adopted as a
badge. 1t was sent to New York,
Baltimore, Richmond and elsewhere,
but was discovered to be too expensive
and nothing more was done about it.
1t was a rather curious circumstance
that it happened to be sent here, but
was due to the fact that Mr.. Freeman
recognizes in Capt. Holland one of
the bravest Confederate soldiers in
the war and desired to remember him
with an appropriate gift.

Bad Baer.

Herman Baer, late a resident OF
Sedalia, Is Il torger and fugitive from
justice. according to the 1t. Louis
Republic, this morning.
Baer Is the son of Adolph Baer, the
well known 1t. Louis clothier and
head OF the firm of Baer, Seasongood
IL Co., OF that city. He has not lived
at home for nearly two years and has
led fast life here and elsewhere. He
recently forged his fathers name to
a number of checks and it was through
these that his criminality was diseov-
cred.
During his residence here, Young
Baer furnished some unsavory history
in connection with women of bad rep
utation and in all probability, his
downfall NAV he attributed TO this
class. His whereabouts at-present Is
unknown.

of age. 1t is said he does not deny
being too intimate with the girl, but
states that the girl is not possessed OF
snowy white moral propensities
He further AYERS that it
is not so much what he
did as the fact he was discovered by a
neighbor. in a room with the girl

He was remanded to jail in default
of bond of $500. which Justice
Fisher required him to give.
Williams has always borne a good

SOMERSET. Pa, April 26.-An aw-
full wreck occurred on the Bare Rocks
Railroad, four miles south of Somer-
set, at D o'clock last night. The Bare
Rocks railroad connects with the
Somerset and Cambria railroad at
Ways Station, at which place the
wreck occurred. The road is two
miles in length and runs to a large
stone quarry operated by the owner
of the road. The grade is about $50
feet to the mile. In coming down
this grade the train became unman-
ageable and leaped down the grade
with frightful velocity.
At the foot of the incline were
several loaded freight cars, into which
the passenger train plunged. On the
engine were Engineer Neff, his son
and John +. Pyle with his wife and
daughter. The three latter we're
hurled under the engine as lit leaped
from the track and were instantly
killed. Neff' and son were scalded.
On the cars were a large number
of workingmen, some of whom jumped
from the runaway train and escaped
with slight injuries. The balance were
crushed in the wreck. How many Is
not vet known. Seven of the bodies
have already been recovered.

THE DIRECT ROUTE EAST.

The Ohio and Mississippi Railway, run
ming east from St Louis, is the short and
direct line to the National Capital, and
offers through train service which Is not
eIualed by any other line. 1t is, properly
speaking, the only direct through ear line
from the Mississippi River to Washington.
The Ohio and Mississippi Railway is
the only line running all trains through
solid from ST. Louis to Cincinnati the
time being less than ten hours; and the
only line running double daily lines of
Pullman Vestibule Buffet Sleeping Cars
from st. Louis to New York via Washing
ton, Baltimore and Philadelphia without
change.
The y. Il VI. has an enviable reputation
Tor speed, comfort and safety, and the
regularity of its trains is proverbiai 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. Il II. Railway
compels it to run three daily trains to Gin
cinnati and two to Louisville. to accommo-
date its steadily increasing travel; fully
70 per cent of the business from St. Louis
TO and via Cincinnati eastward being &C
credited to the q. 4 NJ.
Both the day and night express trains
of the o. Il NJ. are equipped with elegant
Vestubule Day Coaches and Pullman YES
thule Buffet Sleeping Cars, Pullman
Parlor Library Cars are also on day ex-
press and Free Reclining Chair Cars on
night express trains.
All trains on this line connect in Union
Depots with those for points in above
named territories.

Worlds Fair Locomotives.

There will be fifty locomotives in
the transportation building by the LIST
of May, and two outside. The two
outside, one of which has arrived, will
be wonders. Pedestals are now being
put up for them, one at the north and
one at the south end of the building.
The Brooks engine, which is to be on
the north side. is here. 1t weighs
ninety tons and is designed for freight.
1t has twelve wheels. each 30 inches
in diameter, with all the latest i'm
provements. The pedestal on which
it stands will be tour feet high, and
she'd will he erected over it. At the
south end of the building will be Il
Baldwin engine. This engine, which
arrived to-day, weighs 100 tons and is
the largest ever turned out by any
works. 1t is a twelve wheel compound
engine of the Van Claim type, with
20 by 6 inch cylinder. The wheels are
% inches in diameter and the boiler
y inches in diameter.
This engine was built for the Cen
trail Railroad of New Jersey and will
be run on that road after the EXPOSE
ton.
Among the fifty locomotives in the
building will be three from England,
four from France, and three from
Germany, and in addition Rogers,
Pittsburg, Richmond. Porter and
Schenectady works will be repre-
sented. The largest exhibitors will
be the Baldwin people, who send IF.
teen engines. This company will
represent all of their machines in &C.
ton. Each will be lacked upon ba-
ses to allow the wheels to turn II
inches, and the wheels will be turned
by compressed air. The company
will also have an engine for which a
speed of ninety-fve mile an hour is
claimed. 1t is of the compound type,
with foot drive wheels. Certain i'm
provements have been made on this
engine over one of its type which
stood test of ninety-two mile an
hour, the fastest mile being thirty
nine and a quarter.seconds.
Two engines which will form a
marked contrast to those of modern
make were installed yesterday. They
came from the old colony Railroad of
Massachusetts, ard were the first to
draw regular trains on that road. For
years they have been in the shops at
Fall River. and were sent out without
even a new coat of paint. They closely
resemble the old pioneer from the
Peoria road, except that they are much
more ,-ickety and one of them is much
mailer. The maximum speed of
these engines was fourteen miles an
hour. Standing alongside of one of
those for which rinety-iive miles an
hour is claimed, it shows to advantage
the marked improvement made in the
last few years.-Chieago Record.

A TEAMSTER HURT.
Owens "OH" Ear and a Storm
Cause Him Much Misery.

As stockman was driving some
cattle to the NJ. X. & T. stock yards
about daybreak this morning, he saw
a man lying near the NJ, X. Il T.
track near Vermont street. He IN.
formed the men at the yards of the
fact and the yardmen went to where
the man was lying. The man proved
to be John X. Owens, a teamster,
who makes his home with his mother
and stepfather, Mr.. and Mrs. Thomas
Davis, corner Twentieth and Vermont
streets. Owens was in great agony
and partially unconscious. He had
severe bruises about the right hip and
shoulder and his face was badly cut
and bruised. He was removed at
once to his home and DIR. Ores
sci was called and dressed the
wounds, which though most
severe and painful are not thought to
be fatal.
When Owens was sufficiently resuc-
itated he told the tale of the acct
dent. He was crossing the railroad
during the heavy rain and storm last
night. He Is deaf in one ear, the one
next to an approaching stock train.
The train was coming in from
the south and struck Owens.
He was knocked unconscious and
remained so for some hours, He was
unable to rise or make himself heard.
He lay in pool of water near the
railroad grade until discovered early
this morning by the passing cattle
man.
AT this time Owens is suffering Sc
verely and at times isfiightly and can
not converse intellegibly. He was
not intoxicated as he had not
been up in the city during the even
ing, but was ON business at neigh
boris house.
The cause of the serious accident
which may prove fatal, can be attrib-
ted to the fact of the binding storm
and the impaired hearing of Owens.
County Coroner Muehl, after learn
ing of the death of John r. Owens,
resulting from an accident on the NJ,
X. & T. track Monday night, de-
cided to inquire into the cause of the
accident and ascertain, if possible,
where the blame foi the fatal mishap
could be placed.
The following gentlemen were
summoned by Deputy Constable Bar
nett As a coroners jury: j. j. Per-
due, Joseph Kingsley, j. b. Elliott,
Hugh Gresham, f. S. Arnold and
X. y ID. Hart.
The inquest is being held at Farm
hams undertaking establishment.
The funeral will take place AT ,. p.

"BATTLE ROW" RIOT.
A Family Fight as an Appetizer
in East SedaIia.

The Fitzwater domestic war was
given an airing in Judge Fisher
court this morning. The afray took
place at the Fitzwater domiciIe on
Battle Row. East Sedalia. Eugene
Fitzwater and h;s dad, ;. NJ. Fitzwa-
ter, were the principals in the family
row, and il Is hard to decide which
came of first hest. But as the old man
made the complaint it is inferred that
he cried enough. Although teacups,
bricks, chairs. stones and words played
very prominent parts in the r,otous
affair, no one was seriously injured.
The fuss began at the breakfast
table and continued down the back al
leys and up the street. Whether it
was the riled coffee or leathery pam
cakes that instigated the riot and
caused the father and son to lose their
tempers is not known. They wanted
to shoot each other but their mouths
were the only dangerous implements
they had that would so off. These
worked successfully and incessantly
until both the belligerants were weary
and exhausted.
1t was not up totheaverage Battle
Row fracas, but did passing well as
spring opening.
Both parties were fined s. and costs
and were cent to Jail where they can
have a good time together.
