The Topeka-St Joe Train Runs Into an
Open Switch at Atchisen.
The Santa Fe afternoon train between
Topeka and st. Joe, was derailed at Atch-
ison Tuesday afternoon, which resulted
in no further damage than nearly four
hours delay. The train entered Atchison
at its usual speed on schedule
time at 7:55, aud ran into an
open switch near Fifth street
The engine, tender, baggage and mail
car and the smoking coach were thrown
from the track. The accident was due
to the switch having careIessly been left
open when il should have been closed.
AS it was, it is thought the accident
might have been avoided had the proper
and usual lights been placed on the
switch beam. The night Waterman says
those lights have not been put up nights
for some time. It took until IL o'clock
at night to right up the engine and cars
and clear the track.

HELOVED THE WIDOW.
A Case in Which the Course of True Love
Didn't Run Smooth.

DIDN'T Run Smooth
A singular story has come to light re-
garding the divorce which L Cooper
secured from his wife in the Shawnee
county district court, not many weeks
ago. Cooper had been working at the
Cain mills at Atchison until his wages
were cut to rs cents day Then he quit
and began to work for Mrs. Matte Graf,
a widow. He became infatuated with
the pretty widow, and an engagement
followed. An Atchison paper relates the
rest of the story in this wise:
"But as true love never runs smooth
theirs was an exception. He already had
a wife which as a matter of necessity
had to be got rid of. The widow was so
enthusiastic over the coming event that
she gave him $50 with which to procure
divorce from his wife who at the time
was living in Topeka He took the
money, and with it procured the much
coveted divorce When the divorce was
procured, her ardor had cooled and
things were not as they once were. The
chasm broadened and deepened until
their paths in life widely diverged In
other words the fame of love that had
burned with so much ardor hickered and
went out Since the enlargement she
has been very solicitous about her twenty
pieces of silver and has brought suit 70
recover them. If he loses the suit he is
not only out of his $50, but a wife also.

BIG FORECLOSURE SUIT.
A Receiver is Asked for the Col
umbian Building.
At THE INSTANCE OF ". C. CLEMENT

He is a Vermont Capitalists and Holds
S25, 900 of Columbian Building Com
pany's Beads.
An action was commenced In the dis
trict court today to foreclose on the hand
some four-story Columbian building on
West Sixth street, aud to have . receiver
appointed for the property.
The plaintiff in the suit is Wallace G.
Clement, Vermont capitalist, who holds
nearly $4,000 worth of the Colum bian
Building company's bonds. When the
Knox climax came several years ago,
William Sims was the receiver for the
Knox building (now the Columbian
buildingE The property was finally re-
organized by a stock company. which
issued $40, 900 in bonds. OF this amount
$4,000 was set aside to pay the mort
cages of the Northwestern Mutual life
and T. H. Murray, which aggregated that
amount The remaining $25, 000 of Col
umbian building bonds are held almost
entirely by Mr. Clements, the plaintiff.
In the petition for foreclosure which
was filed this forenoon, Mr.. Clement al
leges that the taxes on the Columbian
building have not been paid for two
years, and further that he has received
no interest on his Columbian bonds since
January /, 1894
These allegations constitute the bulk
of the voluminous petition, which con-
tains seventy-one typewriter pages and
eighty-four different causes of action.

NEW WATER WORKS.
City Engineer Tweedda1e Has Plans
Il for New System Completed
TO BE SEVENTY NILES OF MAINS.
The Cost Will be Less Than Ons-hslf
What the Present Plant is Bonded

The Cost VIII be Less Than Ons-half
What the Present Plant il Bonded
Fer.
City Engineer Tweeddale has com
pleted the plans for the new water sys-
tenn and they will be ready to submit to
the council as SOON as the data. which
goes with the plans are tabulated- The
exact cost of the new system will not be
known until the tabuIation is completed.
but it will be less than half the bonded
ndebtedness of the present plant
The city engineer will present two
plans. One contemplates taking the
water from the river near the old station
at the foot of Topeka avenue, and the
other the supply is taken from the river
west of the asylum. In the first of the
two water tower is to be erected in
side the city limits, and in the other a
reservoir which will hold 100000 gal
Ions, is to be built on Martins hill, four
miles west of the city. The construction
of the latter system would be the most
expensive. In both systems process
for purifying the water would be used.
The plans show that either of the new
systems would give the city 20 miles OF
mains and nearly every outlying addition
will be reached. The present system has
but SO miles of mains inside of the city.
The water pipes will be larger and the
fire pressure will be adequate in every
portion of the city if a new system OF
water works. as suggested by the city
engineer, is built
The council will probably do no mora
than to order the plans filed to await the
adjustment of the trouble with the To-
peka Water company. If the charter OF
the old company is declared forfeited by
the court the city would have an oppor-
tunity to put to use the plans upon which
City Engineer Tweeddsle has been work
ing several months.

WIRE THROWING BOYS.

Detectives are After 1hOS0 w no hamper
With Trolley Wires.
Last evening a boy threw a wire over
the trolley wire at the corner of Fourth
and Fillmore streets and fastened it to
one of the wooden poles at the side of
the street It was just the right distance
from the ground to strike a passing
horse on the head and would probably
have killed any animal instantly with
which it came in contact
Fortunately it was discovered and re-
moved before an accident occurred As
the wire was fastened to a wooden pole
which is a non conductor of electricity,
it did not destroy the circuit and stop
the cars
President Baker says the company now
has its detectives working on the case
and the man or boy who put up the wire
will be prosecuted il found He says
that the company is determined to break
up the practice of throwing wires over
the trolley line if it takes all summer and
all the detectives In the country.
