WAGON coLL1DEs WITH TRAIN

Central No. 5 and McCombs Bros
Wagon, Hauling u. $. Express,
Come Together.
A strange accident occurred Saturday
evening shortly before o'clock at the
public road crossing near Dillon. as the
Central passenger was coming north
nearly three hours late. The track was
clear when Engineer McMains whistled
for the crossing and to all appearances
there was no prospects of an accident.
Passengers inside felt a jar, however.
as the train struck the crossing, and
from the baggage car. one door of
which was open, a frantic team,
hitched to wagon, was seen to smash
directly into the side of the baggage
car. The matter was reported as soon
as the train arrived here, and 1T was
then ascertained that the wagon and
team belonged to McComb Bros, of
this city, it being the one the firm uses
in transporting the United States Ex-
press Companys matter from Tins city
to Pickering. The horses had been
standing at Pickering while the driver.
Walter Smeltzer, had been loading the
express onto the Milwaukee train. For
some reason the animals became fright
Sened and started to run, and. evidently
making for the barn in this city, had
reached the Dillon crossing just in time
to strike the train. Strange to say, the
horses Were not injured, nor even
bruised. The damage to the wagon
was Very slight, but the steps of the
baggage car We're broken showing the
great force with which the train and

Robbed at Noon Today.
Inner Lock Blown OF With Dyna.
mite While the Employees Are
At Dinner.
Forty Dollars in Cash and So, 700 in
Checks. Certificates and Drafts
Taken Quick Work.

Without doubt the boldest piece Of
safe blowing ever perpetrated in this
city occurred at noon today, the South
western Insurance Company being the
victim. The crooks secured $40 in cash
and deposit certificates and checks to
the amount of about $1,000.
The work was done within the space
of fifteen minutes, while all the officers
of the company and the employees were
at dinner President Halbert was the
last to leave the offices at noon, he
starting to dinner at 1890 o'clock. Mr.
A. b. Cooper. bookkeeper, and Miss
Ethelyn Bronson, one of the steno-
graphers, arrived from their dinners at
12:45 They found the doors Of the large
safe wide open and the floor in front
strewn with debris. Further inves tiga-
ton developed that the money and pa

A hole had been bored through one Of
the inner doors. charge of some ex-
plosive. probably dynamite, placed
therein, and the force of the explosion
broke the lock into many pieces. A
macintosh belonging to Miss Bronson
that had been left in the offices was
taken, and it Is presumed that the
thieves used this to wrap their booty
in. None of the officers or employees OF
the company had observed suspicious
characters during the forenoon, but the
work was evidently done by persons
who knew when the occupants We're a,
dinner. Entrance was gained to the of
fees by forcing the door to Presiden1
Halbert's room. The work was un-
doubtedly that of experts. as evidenced
by the neatness and dispatch with
which it was accomplished.

AT THE CHURCHES.
Several of the Pastors Talk on Inter
csting Topics.

Several of the Pastors Talk on Inter-
csting Topics.
Rev. r. w. Parsons, of the Baptist
church. selected for his topic Sunday
evening His Satanic Majesty, the
Devil He discussed it from a purely
biblical standpoint, without giving
opinions formed among men, and he
presented his subject with a force and
forensic establishment and wealth of
quotations he has seldom equaled. His
deductions from the teaching of holy
writ We're that there is a personal devil.
with many assistant minions; that or
iginally he fell from heaven from pride
and wrong doing: that he is still active
in the world in adroitly influencing
men into evil ways; and that the only
way to overcome him is to resist him by
the aid of Christian life.
DIR. j. G. Van Ness, of the M. E.
church, has been giving very interest
ing series Of sunday evening talks on
the subject Evils of This City" sun
day night he spoke especially of the sa-
looms and liquor traffic inMarshalltown.
and the sermon was pronounced the
best so far in the series. DR.. Van Ness
says the saloon mas too strong nolu
on the municipality and he paid his
compliments to the city council in sew
eral ways. He made special reference
to the avidity with which the council
issues permits for the opening of sa-
looms on the request of the saloonist
while a petition for an anticipating or
3dinance, signed by 500 young people of
the city, is tabled. Another point was
that while refusing to keep the side
walks clean for the benefit of pedes-
TRANS. an ordinance has been passed
prohibiting the throwing of tin cans in
the streets for fear that the horses will
hurt their feet.
Fey. G. 2. Boardman, at the Congre-
gational church. in the morning
preached upon the subject Between
Herod and God. He made similar
contrast of public opinion and the
church, taking the position that public
opinion was not always the correct
leader to follow stating that as q rule
the censured of all ages had bean the
ones who We're in the right. His re-
marks We're supposed TO refer TO tie re-
cent issue between the preachers and
the public over grand opera. but his
statements We're carefully made 10 BE-
very general and strong sermon was
evolved.

STRUCK BY TRAIN.

Alex. Mccarthy, aged about 50, a
brdgeman in the employ of the Chica-
go & Northwestern, was badly injured
Early this morning near Montour, by
being struck by west bound passenger
No. 3. Mccarthy was at work on a
bridge and did not notice the approach
of the train, and stepped onto the track
as it neared the point where he was
standing. He was thrown several feet
off the right of way and was picked up
by the trainmen more dead than alive
and brought to this city to the Getz
hospital. His injuries are a compound
tween the knee and the ankle; a scalp
wound, left of the vortex, triangular in
shape and about four inches in length
and a compound fracture of the lower
jaw 1t is quite possible that there are
internal injuries, which may not devel-
op for a day or two. and it is feared
that there is an injury to the brain Re
eovery is very uncertain. McCarthy's

Mr.. Colby was the son of David and

envy and was graduate of that institu-
ton.
In his early manhood he entered upon
bis business career here and for many
years with his sister, under the name of
I. B. & j. A. Colby, did a large ana
successful business in dry and fancy
goods and millinery In the Colby store on
Madison avenue, which the firm oecu-
pied for about forty years.
Mr.. Colby always took deep interest
in public affairs, particularly In the
schools of the town. He served on the
school committee for many years very
acceptably. He was also for twenty six
years a director of the Second National
Bank. He was of sunny disposition
and much beloved by the people. He
WAS consistent Christian and for many
years was member of the Island Ave
nue. Congregational church, and he
served his church in many capacities.
In 1863 Mr.. Colby was married to

Prof. d. Wilder Colby, and a daughter,
Miss Grace Colby, are the remaining

seventy-two years after brief illness,
took place last Sunday afternoon,

all who knew her. She was especially
thoughtful of others and constantly
faithful to the church of which she was
a member. Since the death of her
husband--a little over year ago-she
has lived alone at her home on Water
st. Her daughter was the wife of DR..
w. E. Fellows, formerly of this town,
and she leaves az her nearest relatives
her two grand children, Misses Rena and
Lillian Fellows. The Congregational
church will especially miss her-for she
was great help to it in all its work.
