ST. MARYS' BRIDGE OUT.
Tremendous Rain Last Night Nearly
Wreeked a Union PACIFIC Train.

The Union Pacific east bound passen-
ger train which is due to arrive in this
city at 6:37 a. m, came near being
wrecked at st. Marys, Kan, early this
morning.
The bridge over the stream at that
place on the main line of the road was
washed out by the heavy rains of last
night, and the damage was discovered
just in time to save the train.
Last nights rain which was but slight
in Topeka, was one of the heaviest of
the year in the vicinity of ST. Marys,
and the streams in that locality We're
swollen to overlooking. The bridge on
the main line of the Union Pacific was
washed away some time after midnight
and the washOut was not discovered I'M
til a few minutes before the train was
due to pass through the station. The
train was tagged at st. Marys and
backed over the Manhattan branch of
the road into Topeka.
All traffic was suspended on the main
line of the road UP to noon today as a
result of the washout. By noon tenn
porary repairs had been made sufficient
to allow the passage of trains.

had been handled by medical students.
Besides it had been terribly hacked,
where separated from the upper portion
1t was sent to the mOrgue where it
exactly fitted the part found on sun
day.
Deputy Coroner O'Hanlon performed
an autopsy on the upper part or the
trunk before the other had been found.
He discovered two stab wounds, one be-
tween the fifth and sixth ribs and one
between the sixth and seventh in the
region of the heart. There was also a
stab wound back Of the left collar bone
that extended down to the apex of the
left lung.
Dr. O'Hanlon found, too. a bruise on
the left forearm ard under the right
forearm was a confusion showing the
imprint of a heel with h0bnails, like
those in heavy boots. He found an in
ciSed wound in the palm Of the right
hand which, he said, was probabl caus-
ed by the victim selling the weapon
with which he was attacked.
There was no water or serum in the
lungs, which were we'll filled with air.
There was a knife wound two inches
large in the apex of the heart cores
ponding to the wound between the ribs.
Numerous contusiOns were also found
on the body which wounds, DR. O Han
lon th 9lzs, could not have been inflicted
after death
The doctor stated that the man could
not have been dead more than Sc hours
and perhaps not more than "a.
SECOND PART OF CORPSE.
The second part of the butchered
corpse was found north of the Harlem
river, miles from where the other part
was discovered. Two boys found the
first part of the body and two other
bows came across the section of the
trunk in the woods. The boys were
hunting berries when they noticed a
bundle lying against a wall. 1t was
wrapped in heavy manila. wrapping pa
Irvine. The boys were prompted by
curiosity to open the bundle and then
another covering of manila paper was
removed but still the contents of the
straug e package We're not revealed. It
was still covered with roll of OiiclOth
and beneath that was another wrap

to q police station for examination. The
legs had been cut off close to the hips.
The section of the body was taken to

work of cutting off the lower limbs
had been done very clearly, without
hacking.
In the wound beneath the left collar
bone there was an escape of blood be-
meath the fascie and right pleural cap
ity, and as blood does not flow after
death the deputy coroner expressed the
belief that the wound must have been
made before death, and not after. There
was also blood under the thumb nail of
the left hand. DR.. O'Hanlon also con-
tends that there are numerous con-
tusions on the body that could not pos
sibly have been inflicted after death
According to the deputy coroner's
statement, it is to be presumed that
the man was stabbed to death and his
body at once dismembered

TREMENDOUS BERRY CROP
Spells on the Bushes in Wyand otte
County.

Kansas City, June 30.-The raspberry
crop in Wyandotte county this year IS
far greater than any previous crop
raised for years.
Several farmers from the White
Church district were in yesterday with
raspberries, and after travelling all over
Kansas City, Kan, managed to sell the
fruit at rs cents per crate. One of the
farmers stated that it cost just So cents
per crate to have the berries picked
and marketed, leaving the small mar
gin of 10 cents per crate for the pro-
Queer. Many of the farmers who have
heretofore hired boys and girls to pick
the berries and hired a man to market
them, are now doing all the work them
selves. Crates cost Is cents and the
regular price paid for picking raspber-
rieS is so cents per crate. Then when
the farmer pays 20 cents per crate to
get his fruit marketed there is nothing
left for him.
John House, who owns a large farm
near White Church. sold four acres of
raspberries to G. U. S. Hovery at $40
for the four acres. Some of the farm
ers who have extra. large berry patches
are allowing people to gather the ber-
rieS without charge. It is stated upon
good authority that many acres of ber-
ries will be allowed to spoil upon the
bushes.

Their Orders Take Precedence Ov er

Cleveland, June 3O.-It appears that
officials of the United States govern

courts whether they are engaged in
government business when summoned
or not. Some time ago Major w. B.

Ong. Failing to pay the fine, he was
committed to jail, but was almost i'm
mediately released. He appealed to
Washington and Judge Ong suspended

Stoclzman has just received a letter
from Secretary Wilson, advising him
to pay the fine. Judge Ong feels vim

STRIKER MISTAKEN.
Insurance is Good While School
Houses are Vacant in Topeka

Topeka, hdn., J uHt q, Io5'.
To the Editor of the State Journal:
I noticed an article in last evenings
Journal from State superintendent
Stryker, stating that insurance on the
school houses in Kansas during vaca-
ton was void and worthless, and, if I
am not mistaken, he invited criticism
in the same article.
do not wish to criticise Mr.. Stryker,
but as a statement from such a source
should be correct, and as it Will IN
doubtedly be by many so considered, L
wish to inform the citizens of Topeka
that every policy issued on their school
houses contains the following clause:
permission given to make such alter
ations, repairs or enlargement as are
necessary to keep the building and
contents in good order. Also for said
building to remain vacant or unoccu-
pied when necessary"
