Death of Capt. John Lawson, Who Built
the First Locomotive Engine
in England.

st. Louis, Nov. 22.-Capt. John Law
son, who built the first locomotive en-
CINE in England, and who is believed
to have been the oldest engineer in
tho United States, died, Wednes-
day morning, at the home of his step
daughter, Mrs. E. NJ McFadden, in
Maplewood, a. suburb of this city.
Capt Lawson's death came sudden
ly. Although complaining for some
time, he was not confined to his bed
and started out Wednesday morning,
as usual, for his daily walk. When
about eight blocks from his home he
was overcome and fell On the street.
He was placed in a carriage and sent
home, but expired Immediately after
being taken into the house.
Capt. Lawson was born in Manches-
ter, England, August Is, 1905. When
still a boy he was ~apprenticed to
George Stephenson, the inventor OF
the locomotive engine, and, under his
direction, built the first engine. When
he was 81 years old he came to the
United States with a locomotive
shipped here for the Baltimore &
Green River railroad, running from
Baltimore to Green Springs. Lawson
held the throttel on the first engine
that was run over the road.

scientific matters, claimed to have To-
Gated in the west extensive areas OF

and that he had not been paid as

to have discovered for the railroad
company aggregates nearly 100, 000, 000

Importance is thus withdrawn from

is to pass both upon the law and the

Pittsburg, Pa, Nov. GA few mo-

man threw himself headlong into one
of the furnaces at Schoenberger's
mills, Fourteenth and Etna streets.
Almost his entire body was roasted
beyond Identification, his left foot
being the only part not disfigured.
A few moments before midnight
the man was seen to enter the mill
yards and stand at the foot of b
hosting car which carries ore, coke
and other supplies for the furnace.
The momen that a warning was
sounded for the cage to ascend with
it's burden three workmen saw the
suicide jump On the platform and
stand within a few feet of them.
They were confused and did not know
what TO think of him, as
no one but employees is allowed on
these cages. When the top of the
furnace was reached, nearly 100 feet
from the level, Thomas Lee de-
termined to order him away. The
huge crib was opened to allow the
car of coke to roll into the furnace
and the bell was lifted, throwing a
terrific heat from the fiery sub
stance underneath. Lee had not had
time to open his mouth when the man
threw himself headlong into the
furnace. Quick as a flash Lee saw the
action and dropped the bell, but all
too late. The man was buried head
and shoulders in the flames. The lid
of the bell caught his left foot, saw

was pulled out by the three men but
nearly every part of his body resem-
bled a piece of h~alf-cooked meat.
No one can remember of ever hav-

body vas removed to the morgue.
