Police Court.

Again on yesterday morning was
brought before the recorder another
one of those horribly disgusting and
disgraceful cases which have so fire.
quently been unearthed in North Sc
dalia. A negro courtesan, named
Fannie johnson, and she was a true
type of the African race, was ar
raigned for keeping room for inn
moral purposes, and was fined $40
and costs. An old fine of 81 which
was imposed some time ago upon her,
but in which stay was granted on her
promise of better behavior, was called
up, and the marshal instructed to see
that both fines and costs were properly
worked out. She was accordingly
sent below.
James Roberts, a white man, was
charged with cohabiting with kwd
women, and a fine of so was imposed
upon him, which he readily paid, and
left before any one came to see him.

SURE TO KILL.
And it Surely Got Ralph New
hall Into Serious Trouble.

Ralph z. Newhall is a comedy
young man aged about % years. He
has been in Sedalia three days.
Mr.. Newhall has been visiting the
residences in Sedalia selling insect
powder that was guaranteed TO kill
cockroach before it went to sleep in
the morning, after carousing around
all night and soaring the hired girl
so that she forgot the color Of the
hair of her hest fellow.
To-day Officer Thatcher arrested
the insect powder vender. charging
him with obtaining money under
false pretenses.
The young man was taken to the
city Jail where he can have abundant
opportunity to try the powder on
the cockroaches that get a living
within its walls.
A lot of the powder was captured.
Chief of Police belong made an analy-
sis of it and pronounces it wheat bran
perfumed with wintergreen. 1t was
put up in ordinary white envelopes
and Mr.. Newhall was doing a flourish
ing business at five cents each.
He will be turned over to the state
authorities who will deal with him for
obtaining money under falee pretenses.
From papers on his person it seems
he has figured as a picture-enlarging
fiend for the ''Star factory" of st.
Louis. He had fifty-five cents lawful
money in his inside pocket.

The speakers platform is situated
on the west side of the pavilion.
Shortly after eight o'clock the Georgia
lecturer and evangelist mounted it in
company with DR.. Lenig, who briefly
introduced him. He was received
with considerable enthusiasm.
The lecture was the familiar one.
Get There'-which has done service
for several seasons and has appeared
in many newspapers. The old cpl
grams and ancient anecdotes
we're rehashed and amused
the people who had never heard or
read them before. A few fresh say
ings relieved the monotony of the lee
ture.
Sam Jones paid a nice tribute to
the beauty ard enterprise of Sedalia.
He said he had taken walk over
town in the afternoon and was greatly
pleased with the appearance Of things.
The speaker had heen lecturing,
travelling and preaching constantly
and was very much Worn and tired.
He seemed to be laboring from
languor, and even those who had
never seen him previous to last night,
noticed that he was out of condition.
DIR. Lenig announced that Sam
Jones would preach at the park at II
o'clock to-day morning and at 8
o'clock in the evening. Also, that
the Schumann quartette, which has
created such a furOre of favor at the
Chautauqua. would furnish the de-
votional singing at these services and
would likely remain over Monday and
Tuesday.
The prospect is that immense
crowds from the city and surround
ing country will attend the Sam
Jones sermons to-day. The evange-
list retains all his remarkable drawing
power and will likely he in fine shape
both morning and evening.

A DISASTROUS ACCIDENT.
Conductor Hiram Lewis Pas
senger Train Runs Into
aWagon and Team.

The branch train on the Lexington
and Kansas City road, which leave:
here at 3:45 in the afternoon, in
charge of Conductor Hiram Lewis,
met with an accident at Woodland
avenue, about one mile this side OF
Kansas City, yesterday evening.
There is wagon road which cross G
the railroad at that point and as the
train reached the crossing, teamster
by the name of Charles Dalbo also
came into view. The engineer gave
the usual danger signals, but the
teamster paid no heed. although he
had plenty of time, yet he deliberately
drove his team, fine pair of mules,
on to the track, and although
everything was done that could be to
avert the accident, it could not be
avoided, and the mules were instantly
killed, the wagon smashed into kind
ling wood, and the driver very seri-
ously hurt, having hole cut in his
head and also in the back, and was
otherwise injured, it is thought, inter-
nally. He was still alive when the
train left Kansas City this morning.
The engine had the number plate
Knocked off and was otherwise dam
aged. The mules were valued at 5000
each. No blame can be attached to
the railroad company, as the train was
in plain view for several hundred
yards before the crossing was reached.
The Kansas City Times this MORN
ing has the following additional ac-
count of the affair:
IAN incoming Missouri Pacific pas
senger train ran into team of mules
and wagon owned by John Andlauer
and driven by Charles Dalbo, at

avenue IN the East bottoms about 8
o'clock last night. The train was be-
hind time and was running a high
rate of speed. DalbO was driving
along carelessly and did not see the
train until his mules were on the track
and the locomotive only a few yards
away. Before he had time to jump
The train crushed into the outfit.
Both mules and wagon were carried
along the track, the animals being
killed and the wagon entirely demol-
shed.
DalbO was thrown a distance of
twenty feet from the wagon and
rendered unconscious. The police |
was called and he was re-
moved to his home, at Commercial
md Park avenues, where Police Sur
,eon Iuen attended him. His lett |
,ollar bone was broken, and he was
injured internally, and his scalp was

The mules killed were valued at
$50, and the wagon was worth $3.50.

instead of being tricked he turned
