LIVE WIRE KILLED HORSE.

Narrow Escape.

On last Thursday evening tn.
electric light wires in from: of the
NJ, E. Church, South, broke and
fell to the ground. The light plant
was not informed of the break
though several persons knew of it.
The Pennington ten pin team,
which was returning from Doe
Run about IL O'Clock, ran into the
wire and one of the horses was
killed instantly. The wire was
hanging on level with the horse 8
head and when it struck the unin-
sulated wire thousand volts
passed through its body. The
other horse dropped and was ap-
parently dead, until the occupants
of the carriage could reach the
plant and have the current turned
off, when he speedily revived,
though severely burned on the
side. The horses belonged to May
berry & Highley, and the horse that
was killed was the best bus horse
in the stable. The occupants of
the carriage were, Sam Isenman,
Robert Blackwell, DR.. Branaing
and Ben FOWL.

Edward j. Aubuchnn, one of St.
Francois county's most enterprsing
young citizens, died very suddenly at
his home in Columbia, Mo, Satur-
day morning, Dec. %, 1902, aged 81
years, 10 months and 25 days. The
death of Mr.. AuBuchon was entirely
unexpected by his relatives and friends.
lie had been suffering from n severe
cold for several days and his attending
physician advised him to be careful,
fearing he might have an attack of
pneumonia. Saturday morning he
seemed to be resting easily and sew
eral members of the family went about
their duties, not thinking there was
any immediate danger. They had
left the room not more than half
hour when he requested his wife, who
was with him, to fan him, that he was
50 warm. She took the paper from
his hand and at the same time said 10
him, al am so afraid ii might give
you cold" She had no more than
uttered the las. word when he raised
bis hands and gasped for breath. She
thought he had tainted and FASTENED
TO battle his face, then called for help.
Several members of the family arrived
at his bedside few seconds before he
died. 1t was several hours after his
death before his wife could be con-
WINGED that 1t was DEATH she wa sure
he had only tainted. Edward AuBu-
chon was the youngest child VI Basil

2, 1865, and is a descendcnt of one
of the Oldest French families of South
east Missouri. In 1886 Edward Au-
Buchon married Miss Cora AuBuchon,
daughter of Ex-Judge Peter AuBu-
chon. They lived for many years at
his fathers home, where he, together
with the help OF his good wife, cared
tor his parents most tenderly. He at
tended the country schools until he hid
acquired good knowledge of ma,he-
mates, grammer and other studi es,
then he entered the College at st.
Gcnevieve, Mo, where he obtained a
thorough business education. He fol-
lowed the occupation of farming and
teaching for some years Two years
ago he removed his family to Colum-
bia, Mo-, aud there entered the mer.
chandise business, which he was still
engaged in at the time Of his death.
He was devoul member of the
Catholic Church and was beloved by
all who knew him for his kind DISPOSE
ton, always ready to give helping
hand where needed. He was de-
voted husband and kind father. He
leaves, besides his loving wife and two
little children, a great number of rela-
iives and host of friends to mourn
his death.
The funeral services were conducted
by the Rev. Father Hassel at French
Village, Mo. The remains were ip-
TERED in the French Village Cemetery.

public:
BRADLEY's BILLS.
Senator J. l.. Bradley of st.
Francois county. with Il wallet full
of bills to be presented to the Leg
lslature, was one of the prominent
figures in the Laclede lobby. To
the accusations that Southeast Mis-
souri, seemed to be falling off in
Democratic strength, Senator Brad
ley put in strong plea for St.
Francois, and also for himself,
pointing out that he ran 200 ahead
of his ticket
Senator Bradley has in hand,
besides several minor matters too
numerous to mention, others of
general Importance. He will in
troducc bill declaring for in.
itiative and referendum, for free
text books in the schools, for Il
general eight. hour workday law,
for 10 per cent assessment OF
corporation property, and for a re-
duction of the freight rates in the
State. He is an enthusiast in the
matter of free text books, and also
is in favor of compulsory education
throughout the State, though he
says he has thought of no bill pro.
vidlng for the latter. In all of the
measures spoken of above, he
avows deep interest and intention
to work for their passage.

TELEPHONE ON THE LOCOMOTIVE.

The cause of nearly all the train
wrecks on the railway lines OF the
country is the severing of all connec-
ton between the train crew and dis
patcher. while the trains are in mo-
ton, and. while the automatic signal
apparatus now in operation on some
of the roads has done much to insure
the safety of railway travel. there Is
no doubt that the telephone recently
patented by Alva d. Jones, of Louis
vile, Ky. would still further mini
mize the loss caused by these acct
dents. This inventor claims to have
solved the difficulty of maintaining a
contact through the trolley device run
ming on the telephone wire which par
allels the railway line. and it will be
interesting to note his method of over
coming what has hitherto been consid-
cred an almost insurmountable obsta-
Gle to the use of a locomotive tele-
phone. While the weight of the troll
ley is carried on the wheel in the cas-
ing, a sliding contact in the form of
an absorbent pad is the intermediary

found; the biggest on record, about the
size OF a tumbler, being now preserved

an interesting discovery, inasmuch
as it proved that platinum exists in
