NINETEEN HURT.

Missouri Pacific passenger train
No. I, was wrecked about one mile
east of the Joplin station at Las
Tuesday morning. Nineteen peo.
pie were hurt, one fatally.
The train wrecked was the Kan.
sas City and Joplin express, due at
l:50 a. m. The wreck occurred near
the old Moonshine mines, and was
caused by cave-in. The engine
and the mail car were not ditched,
but the smoker went over on iie
side, the chair car tumbled over
end ways, while the sleeper fol.
lowed suit, but in the opposite di.
rection. There were passengers in
all of the cars, perhaps twenty-five
or thirty comprising the list. As
the cars went over the people were
suddenly thrown In contact with
obstacles in front of them, or came
in contact with one another, caus-
ing confused mass, and the large
number of injuries. 1t is lucky
that none of the cara was wrecked
or the casualties would have been
larger.
The spot causing the wreck is the
old cave.in that occurred about one
year ago. The railroad company
had the hole filled up beneath the
track, aud anticipated no further
trouble. The heavy rains of Mon
day however. caused the ground be-
meath TO settle, aud the track
swayed. The point is only a short
distant from a curve, and the train
was moving only at an average
speed.

BREAKING OF AN INSULATION BOX
CAUSES A DELAY OF TRAFFIC.

There was a block the Tnird-ave trolley road

shoes" than ever have been used the road
In any one night since the electric power was
started.
1t was about O'Clock that heavy truck. in
passing manhole above Baxter-st., broke
the cover of an insulation box. The depression
of the heavy iron casting forced the channel bars
which convey the current under ground into such
shape that when EAR came along Its shoe was
torn off and the power rendered useless. Twelve
cars thus stalled in rapid succession as they
came downtown before the officials of the road had
any idea what caused the trouble.
Cars were stalled all along the line on the
downtown track from Canal-st., and above that
street all the way to point below BaXter-st
Shoes In great demand. and employees
were sent to the Bayard-st. powerhouse and other
points to secure them.
Right in the middle of the string of cars was
United States mail car ID with quantity or
mail matter from the Grand Central Station This
had to wait its turn, along with several morse
cars, until the block was raised, which was not
until twenty minutes more after the first car
had torn off its shoe
Horses out and the cars were dragged
down to the Postoffce loop, where men were hard
at work placing shoes under the cars. In
the time several switched back

loop
