AN OPEN SWITCH.
Kansas City Cannon Ball on the
Wabash Wrecked.

Wabash Wrecked.
MoBERLy. Mo-, Nov. S.-A wreck on
the Wabash here just before midnight
last night demolished most of the
Chicago-Kansas City Cannon ball train,
killing Fireman Will Malone and iniur-
ing several others. The train ran into
an open swith. Fireman Malone was
scalded to death and Engineer Robinson
was badly hurt. A number of passen-
gers wore injured, but not seriously. 1t
is probable that the accident was due
to train wr6ckers. The train left Kan
sas City last night and the accident oc-
Cured just as it entered the yards here.
The engine and baggage car were
thrown on their sides and the front
part of one passenger coach was
smashed. 1t is reported that no lock
conld be found on the switch, when the
railroad men looked for and that the
switch was half open.

The Floyd boys were we'll known in
Minneapolis. Their father was pho

on Fifth street near Hennepiu avenue.
The boys were conspicuous in the
vicinity of stage doors. They admired
actresses. They wore pink boutonneres,
Sported full dress suits and bought
wine. The younger Floyd has coal
black hair. brushed back from the fore

Contrary TO expectation. there will
be no maneuverS in Hampton Roads,
of the naval review squadron owing
to the limited space. The only thing
approaching ii, it is stated, will be
upon the Gath inst. when all the
ships of the combined squadron will
weigh anchor and proceed out the
capes in double columns. From the
time they arrive until they sail for
New York all the vessels will remain
at anchor where they first dropped
it, as to attempt any display in
Hampton Roads of such number Of
heavy draft vessels would be out of
the question on account of the limit
ed room for moving around. The
extent of the water the fleet will
cover may be better appreciated

She Prayed fer Clevcland's Success.

A Washington correspondent says:
Mention has many times been made OF
the fact that Mr. Cleveland regards
as man of destiny. A recent
incident at the White House makes
Il striking illustration of some OF the
grounds for which he may be par
doned if indnlging in such belief.
One day last week a lady from Il
distant State called at the White
House She had no appointment
with the President and it was long
past the hour for the reception OF
general callers. She was one of those
possessing that Indispensable quality
of personal magnetism which at the
sametimc charms and compels. She
said to the attendants in IL quiet but
peaceful manner. Take my card
to the President and he will see me.
There was nothing to be done
but comply with her request, and al
most instantly word came back from
the President for her to be admitted.
She had never seen the President but
she was a believer in his destiny and
a firm believer in the efficacy of
prayer. Months before the meeting
of the Chicago convention she had
written to Mr.. Cleveland that his
destiny was to be nominated. and she
was making it the subject of daily
PRAYER After his nomination she
wrote him she was PRAYING for his
election, aud God would surely re-
spond favorably After the election
she again wrote him, and sent him a
little medal of religious device, ask
ing him always to carry it with him.
After the first greetings between the
two were over the President drew
from his pocket his wallet, and open
ing it, showed her the little trinket
she had sent him and which he had
always carried since the day it reach
ed him. When she left she said;
Mr.. President, shall pray for your
administration to be Il credit to your
self aud Il glory to the country, and
as my PRAYERS have been answered
so shall this be answered.

The President Will Press the Button.

President Cleveland will open the

He has definitely decided to do this,
and will send his acceptance to the
Chicago committee in a day or two.
There never has been much doubt of
his acceptance, bat he withheld his
promise to open the great exposition
until he could have time to ascertain
what effect upon his health the raid

Virginia Loses Her Suit.

WASHINGTON, April 3.-There will
be no change in the boundary be-
tween Virginia and Tennessee, as
prayed for by the attorney.general
of the former State in Il bill filed with
the Supreme Court in 1889. In that
bill Acknowledgement Ayres alleged
that Tennessee WAS exercising Jul
risdiction unlawfullv over II strip OF
territory from two to eight miles wide
from the North Carolina line due
west course in latitude $3.50 north
to the kentucky line. In the terri
tory described Mr.. Ayres claimed
that serious conflicts of jurisdiction
had arisen, especially over matters
connected with the towns of Bristol,
Tenn, and Goodson, Va, and lie
asked that the agreement between
the States of Virginia and Tennessee,
under which the boundary line had
been established in 1903. be declared
null and void, and that Virginia be
Quoted in the possession OF the
disputed territory lying north of
parallel $500.
In an elaborate opinion prepared
by Justice Field the Supreme Court
today declined to grant the prayer of
Virginia. The opinion went into
the historical facts e. haustively and
discussed the law involved. Briefly
the court held that inasmuch us the
two States had in 1903 adopted the
report of the boundary commission,
that the compact had been implicitly
ratified by the Congress of the United
States, and that for a period of more
than eighty-fve years the line laid
down by the boundary commission
had been recognized as the true
boundary, twouldrefuse the petition
of Virginia to now establish a new
one. Any mark on the old line tn 1t
may have become indistinct or been
destroyed, Justice Field said, could
by proper proceeding at this term of
court be ordered restored.
