A TRAIN WRECKED.
A Missouri Pacific Passenger Train
Plunges into q Landslide.
The MAIL CLERK BURNED TO DEATH.
A Large Amount Of Mail DestrOyed-The
Fireman Pinned Down and Fatally
Ecalded-He Pleads to Be Put
Out Of His Misery.

BoNNoT's MILL, Mo-, March 6-Mis-
souri, Pacific passenger train No. 4,
which left Kansas CITY at 1880 p. m.
yesterday, was wrecked near here
at seven o'clock last night 12 miles
east OF jefferson City. The engine
plunged into landslide, telescoping
the engine, tender and mail car. 1t
set fire to the mail car, which in turn
set fire to the baggage car, and both
were completely consumed. W. A. Ro-
senberger, Bloomington, ILL.,, was ere
mated. The injured are: Ed Lusman,
fireman, aged 9s, st. Louis; pinned
under tender; body crushed and cooked
from waist down; inhaled steam; will
die. Frank LAUDER, engineer, st. Louis,
ribs broken and head hurt; will re-
cover.
Following the engine was a mail car
baggage car, four coaches and three
sleepers. Near Bonnot's Mill the train
was running 40 miles an hour on a
down grade, when Engineer LAUDER
saw apparently the whole hillside, 200
yards ahead, slide on the track. He
threw on the air and reversed and at
tempted to jump. The engine, tender,
mail car and baggage car telescoped.
Fireman Lusman was caught beneath
the tender, but the engineer was
thrown high in the air and broke his
ribs by falling on the wrecked cars.
The rest of the train was Jared off the
track, but not passenger was hurt, or
even badly shaken.
Almost before the passengers were
out of the coaches the mail car was on
fire. The body of the mail clerk could be
seen, but all attempts to save it failed.
All but few pieces of mail was
burned. The baggage ear was blazing
furiously, and beneath 1t all, shielded,
yet pinned by the tender, was Lusman,
the fireman. Scalding water was pour
ing over his legs and the fire was grow
ing at his back. He begged the wound
ed engineer to shoot him; tried hard
to reach his own knife, and implored
those who stood helplessly around to
cut his throat and put him out Of his
misery.
Just then work train, which had
been side-tracked by the express, ran
up behind the wreck. Under the direc-
ton of Conductor Parker a bucket line
was formed, and with all the male pas
sengers helping water was carried
from the Missouri river to the fire.
Coats were thrown over the fireman to
protect him from the steam, while the
men OF the work train tried to extricate
him. Finally they got him out-prac-
tically dead. The unburned cars were
uncoupled and pulled away and after
awhile the fire was extinguished. 1t
is reported that q large amount Of
registered mail was among that
burned.

CONGRESS- CLOSED.
The Fifty-F Fourth Congress Ends
It's Labors.
The SENATE IN EXTRA SESSION.
Vice President Hobart Takes the Oath Of
Office and Briefly Addresses the
senate--The New Senators
Sworn In.

WASHINGTON, March 5.--The senate
Of the Ififty-Fifth congress met yester-
day in extra session, with Vice Presi-
dent Hobart presiding, in pursuance
to u call Of the retiring president.
The closing Of the old, as well as the
opening of the new, were merged into
the brilliant spectacle marking the ad-
vent Of the inauguration ceremony SO
that formal proceedings were confined
largely 10 the valedictory Of the retir-
Ing vice president, Mr.. Stevenson, the
opening address Of the new vice presi-
dent, Mr.. Hobart, and swearing into
Office Of the new senators. The early
hours Of the day were given to
the final steps Of important legislation,
the remaining appropriation bills
One, the general deficiency, failed in
conference, and three, the agricultural,
sundry civil and Indian, failed Of ex-
ecutive approval. Promptly at 10
o'clock Mr.. Stevenson declared the SEN
ate OF the Fifty-Fourth congress adj
journed without day, and the work of
the new senate was at once taken up.
The house was still in the Legislative
day Of Tuesday when 1t adjourned
without day. The closing hours
were uneventful. The statesmen
had worked all night to get the
sundry civil, Indian and agricultural
bills to the president, only to have
them pocketvetoed, while the general
deficiency failed of passage because the
house refused to subscribe to the half
million of Bowman claims, which the
senate insisted upon. The only feature
of the closing throb Of life was the en-
thusiastic reception accorded Speaker
Reed and the unanimous standing vote
of thanks rendered him. The MEMBERS
headed by Speaker Reed then entered
the senate chamber. There was stir
of interest when senate officials an
announced the vice president-elect--
Mr.. Hobart--who entered from the
right door and stepped to the seat near
the presiding officers desk. All

ST. JOSEPH, Mo-, March 8.-Jealousy
on the part Of one and brooding over
quarrel on the part Of the other result
ed in the death Of a young couple at
Parnell, just north of here, yester-
day. Abner Davis and Miss Della
Harris have been lovers for some
time but on several occasions they
have disagreed over the attentions
Of other young men toward the girl.
She seemed to think Davis had no
right to dictate what her conduct
should be in this matter, and Thursday
night another quarrel followed as re-
suit of Davis jealousy. He left her in
greatly agitated frame Of mind and,
after making some disposal of effects
last night took dose of pioson. He
was found in dying condition
soon after midnight. Miss Harris
was notified of the condi-
ton Of her lover and was grief
stricken. When he died she refused
to be consoled, but went at once to her
room. In a short time members Of the
family were aroused by the report Of
revolver. The door was forced in
and the young woman was found dy-
ing from bullet which entered her
heart.
