BEATING THE RECORD.

The Exposition Flyer Starts on Its Initial
Trip from New York Sixty Miles an
Hour.
New YORK, May cat precisely
2:22 o'clock yesterday afternoon a
snub-nosed switch engine backed a
train of four new Wagner palace cars
into the Grand Central depot and along
side the third passenger platform of
the New York Central & Hudson River
Co. Then there was a jingle of loosened
couplings and the snub-nosed engine
snorted its way out into the yards
again, leaving the four cars standing.
Meanwhile, a long-barreled, high,
six-wheeled locomotive monster was
standing at rest on a short spur of
track block or two distant.
But from within its steel ribs came
the sounds of measured breathings.
The great thing seemed leisurely pant
ing, like some great beast might do
when lying at full length on a sum-
mer's day. There was life in the body
of this great engine, as was proven by
the occasional dropping of glowing
Goals from the fire box to the greasy
ties where they smoldered. There was
ferociOus tension on her iron thews
while she stood SO ponderously quiet.
Occasionally a jet of steam broke from
her threat and shot upward into the air.
Pretty soon somebody gave a signal
and the man in the cab pulled out the
throttle, ever so little and the big ma
chine moved over a tangle of switches,
stopped, backed down into the depot
and hunted her automatic couplings
into firm grip on the four new cars.
And thus was completed the first
exposition flyer" train which the New
York Central people had planned
should daily traverse the distance be-
tween New York and Chicago in TWEEN
ty hours.
The big locomotive chosen for the
first stage of the initial trip is No. SOS,
and she is full sister to No. $40, which
broke the long distance railway record
in September last by running from
New York to Buffalo, 1861 miles, in
the actual running time of 425 minutes
and a seconds.

AN OBJECTIONABLE IMMIGRANT
A Contagious Scalp Disease Shuts Him
from Our Shores.

Contagious Scalp Disease Shuts Him
from Our Shores.
New YORK, May 29.-0n May 70 Isaac
Buchen, II years old, arrived at Ellis
island on the steamship Daniel, from
Galicia, Austria. Buchen's passage to
this country had been paid by his sis
ter Rosa, who lives at So Ridge street.
When the young man arrived at Ellis
island it was discovered that he was
suffering from an aggravated case of
favus, a fungus disease of the scalp,
which, although common in some parts
OF Europe, and especially among the
Russian Jews, has not yet been found
in this country. On account of
the malignant nature of the dis
ease, it is extremely dangerous to ap-
proach within three or four yards of
the person afflicted. Young Buchen
was debaTed from landing. When
Miss Buchen learned of this she
secured writ of .habeas corpus
ordering her brother to be pro-
duced before Justice Lacombe, in the
United States court, this afternoon. In
the meantime the treasury department
sent word that Buchen must be re-
turned to Austria. For obvious reasons
it was decided that the case should
come before Judge Lacombe without
the appearance of young Buchen.
When the judge heard the testimony as
to the nature of the disease he decided
that he had no authority to go back of
the commissioners of emigration, and
young Buchen will not be allowed to
land in this city.

Storm-Severe Fatalities.
KANSAS City, Mo-, May GA destrue.
tive storm which caused the loss of sew
eral lives, almost completely disabled
the telegraph service to the west and
did untold damage, swept over the sec
ton northwest OF here yesterday after
noon and last night.
The storm seems to have reached its
height about Mexico where two men
Henry McCue, a farmer. and John Wills,
citizen of Farber-were Killed and
probably dozen persons injured. The
rain fell in perfect torrents and the
wind blew down many houses and barns
and wrecked trees Hail fell north Of
the town running farm produce A
number of families in the city were
compelled to move from their houses
on account of high water. There is no
estimating the damage to the corn
planted and growing wheat. The
largest hail fell north and east of the
town in greater quantity than was ever
seen.
At Laddonia, six persons were in.
jured, five business houses and FIVE
dwellings wrecked and much other
damage done.
At Moberly, at Huntsville and other
parts of the county great damage was
done. All the main building at the
fair grounds at Moberly was wrecked.
The amphitheater was blown from its
foundation and seriously damaged.
About New Cambria crops were bad.
" damaged by hail, wind and fierce
rain, but no one was injured.
At Brookfeld the Hannibal & st. Jo-
seph round house was partly demol-
ished and some other damage done, but
no one was seriously injured.
At Martinsburg wind blew nineteen
loaded freight cars from the track, lev.
eled trees, fences and outbuildings and
laid waste crops.
Fully half of the state of Kansas has
received a soaking rain in the pas,
twenty-four hours, and while it is too
late to be of much benefit to the wheat,
it is just what is needed to give corn a
good start.
A FARMER KILLED.
FORT SCOTT, Kan, May GA wind
storm swept by the town of Blue
Mound, north of here. Two miles
north of the station, two farm houses
were lifted up and blown a hundred
feet from their foundations. In one of
them lived a farmer named Higgins
with his wife and three children. They
were at supper and were carried with
the house. Higgins was just entering
the kitchen door when ne was struck
by timber flying from the barn which
was also blown several hundred feet
and fatally injured, his head being
badly mashed :
Many farm houses for miles along
were blown over and several people bad
| ly injured, but no other fatalities can
yet be heard OF.

games of the season. Brooklyn Just
managed to pull of the contest with the

BIDS FOR THE NEW GRAMMAR SCHOOL.

Received at Special Meeting of the
Board OF Education Last NIght-Invi-
tation Accepted From the G. A. r.
The Board Of Education met in special
session last night to receive bids for
the erection of the new grammar school
at the corner of Fourteenth and Wash
ington streets The board met at 8
o'clock with President Baird in the
chair All the members who objected
to the location of this school and who
have opposed the awarding of the con-
tract on the bids made were also present.
But the members who have advocated
the building of fine school house on
the site selected assembled slowly.
s II Baynard called up the motion
adopted at last meeting ordering the
printing of 9, 600 copies of the new rules,
aud motion to reconsider the motion TO
print was made by David II. Coyle,
chairman of the Printing Committee,
and adopted. A motion was adopted to
print 600 copies of the rules.
The president of the board presented
an invitation. from The executive commit
tee of the g. A. R inviting the members
to participate in the Memorial Day ex-
ercises to day. The invitation, on motion
of Mr. Coyle, was accepted.
The bids for building the new gram
mar school were then opened The low
est bids were For buff brick, $40, COO
by w. f. Seeds, and S41 ,070, by J. Null
vena for red bricks. The lowest bid for
plumbing and heating was made by the
Brison Company, at 50, 100, making the
lowest bid with buff bricks, $44, 100;
with red bricks, $43 10.
DR. J. H. Morgan moved that the bids
be referred to committee with the power
to act in the matter.
SH Baynard suggested that the board
ought to decide the matter of awarding
bids. There was no motion made sus-
tanning this view and the president asked
If the board were ready for the ques-
tion.
Senator John Pyle said mot yet, "
aud began some inquiries about the lot
His objections were answered by Dr.
Morgan aud S II. Baynard.
The debate then became general.
S. r. Smith made strong speech in
favor of accepting the bids aud erecting
schoolhouse that should be ccredit to
the city as public building.
Patrick Magsrity replied to Mr. Smith.
He charged the advocates Of the new
building with extravaganza in the pur-
chase of the site aud also said the Board
of Education was known as the most
extravagant body of the city admins
tration. He favored the use of red
brick and suggested school No. 10, in
the Eleventh ward, as a model for the
new school, s. r. Smith denied that
the Board of Education was an extrava-
giant body. He said the charge was
monstrous and If anybody held to that
idea they did not know anything about
the board S doings.
A motion to postpone the further dis
cussion Of the matter was adopted.
On motion of S. II. Baynard JOSEPH
Pyle was added TO the Building Com
mittee on New Grammar School to FL
