A KILLING RECORD.

Fast Mail Engine, No. ., slaughters

When Engineer I'd Jolly left Kansas
City a little behind hand with the fast
mail Thursday night, he had no Idea Of
the narrow escape he and the other 90.
cupants OF the train would have from be-
Ing wrecked, says the Topeka State Jour
nal.
The train OF two cars. mail ear and
coach. was behind hand. aud Engineer
Jolly pulled the throttle open as soon as
he had clear track out Of Holiday, and
the train flew at n record breaking speed
When Lawrence was reached he was still
some behind the schedule time. short
stop OF about a minute was made at
Lawrence and "the mail" pulled out for
Topeka. II was a very dark night and
nothing could be seen except the stretch
Of track that was illuminated by the
head light The small station at Lake
View few by like fash. the train was
going at the terrific rate OF sixty
aye miles an hour. when sud.
denly Engineer jolly and his fireman were
horror stricken TO see by the glare OF the
headlight within hundred feet Of the
engine bunch OF horses standing right
In the center OF the track. II was useless
for Engineer Jolly to try to do anything
but whistle and before the whistle had
blown second the engine had struck the
foremost horse and then the rest The
fireman and the engineer could feel the
shock az the engine struck each horse
and they could feel the animals being
ground to pieces under the engine and
could see them being hurled to the right
and left. Expecting every minute to
have the engine 90 into the ditch and the
two cars after II the occupants Of the
engine sat on their seats unable TO do
anything but TO wonder how soon II
would be before they went down. But
they did not 20 of the track, aud the oc-
cupants Of the coach probably did not
know how near they came 10 being In a
most disastrous wreck. II was found
that the engine had killed all OF the
stock, seven large mules and one horse.
Disastrous wrecks have been caused
from an engine running over one horse,
large, heavy ten wheel engines at that,
with heavy train, but for engine No. 5,
the lightest engine In the service, eight
wheels and weighing about thirty tons.
with light train OF two cars, TO strike
eight and not go into the ditch Is a mir
acle. The engine is known as "The Five
Spot" and makes the run with the fast
mail from Kansas City to Topeka, with a
running time Of one hour aud thirty
minutes, in charge Of Engineer Jolly.
This ia probably record, as no other en-
gine Of the weight has ever been known
to strike eight head Of stock and get
through without leaving the track. The
engine crew are not at all anxious TO eX
perience such a record breaking feat
again.

ULYSSES S. GRANT.

Upon the arrival of the special train
from Chicago the public demonstration
began. A street parade was formed at
the depot, composed of cavalry, veter-
ans, civic societies and thousands of
visitors, which marched to the Turner
hall where Judge Speer delivered his
Grafton
Judge Speer said in part:
We are brethren now shoulder to shoulder.
under the giory-bright ensign OF our common
country, and thank God that. with the clear
vision Of the dying, the noble patriot whom we
commemorate to-day, lived to see this truth
In simple phrase he wrote: Il feel that we are
ON the eve of new era when there Is to be
great harmony between the federal and the
confederate. l can not stay to be living wit
ness to the correctness of this prophecy but I
feel 1T within me that it is to be So The uni
versal kind feeling expressed for me at the
time when 1t was supposed that each day would
prove my last seemed to me the beginning Of
the answer to Let Us Have Peace"
With such emotions in his heart this great
American died And my countrymen, his
prophetic words were true Now in our coun-
trys need we are reunited people. His mag
nanimity to southern men. his soldierly fidelity
to his great adversary has found it's reward in
the devotion to his country to that other Lee
who amid the curses and the treachery of
the stealthy Spanards the pestilen 9
among their victims, and the cruel mas
sacre of our sleeping sailors with
consummate courage and manliness has main
tanned the honor Of the Stars and Stripes Far
TO the SOUTH in the state of my birth and love.
In park in beautiful Savannah, noble men
and gentle women have reared a monument to
tho confederate dead. On its face, taken from
the grand poetry of Scripture, are these words {:

live"
The prayer has been granted. They live, o
my countrymen, in millions of their gallant sons
and kinsmen, quickened into life and power as
American citizens by the generosity OF
Grant and the magnan nifty of the country
he served; and in the day of our coun-
trys need, under the flag OF our fathers in
even line with the veterans of the Union and
the noble manhood of the north the ground
shaking with their measured tread, and the
cries drowned by the rebel YELL clearing the
way with their flaming vollevs, they will bear
down upon our country's foe Then the
truth will be seen Of all men. that the Union
which Washington fostered and Grant did 30
much to save, will be indeed perpetual the
greatest citadel of civil and religious liberty on
earth glory to the Most High God and
blessing to humanity in all the years to come.
The celebration was held under the
auspices of the Grant Birthday associ-
alton. President Mckinley addressed
the first meeting which was held in
1909
