AWFUL HAPPENING.
Mrs. A. c. StotIer Killed by
the Cars.

The friends of Mrs. Phebe Stot-
Ter, at Laddonia, this county, the
wife of the late A. C.Stotler, were
Mortified last week to learn she had
been killed by the cars and that,
too in a most frightful manner.
She with her daughter, Eugenia,
aged about twelve, were driving a
single horse buggy, going north,
aud were passing over the crossing
just west Of the depot in Laddonia
when an engine moving east with
terrific speed dashed them from
the track. Several persons saw
the happening. The driver saw
the train coming when it was toe
late. Mrs, Stotler was severed at
the waist and awfully mangled
otherwise. Eugenia, the daughter,
was not killed but still fingers;
was badly hurt about the head
and is injured internally. AT last
reports she had not gained full
consciousness, lying in a comatost
state, not realizing thai she il
hurt.
Coroner Macfarlane of this cit!
went down and held an inquest
The jury declared nothing only wha
was generally known. There i
much indignation in Laddonit
against the railroad for running
their trains thru the town at sucl
high rates of speed-a violation o
one of the city ordinances.
A family Of about eight lchildrel
are now orphans. Mrs. Stotle
had just come from the milliner
store, having bought two or tire
spring hats for her little girls, an,
the hats were found caught on tn
cow catcher of the engine. Rev
r. NJ. Taylor preached Mrs. Stot
ler's funeral at the Methods

Those surveyors for that Iowa
& st. Louis railroad that didn't
come-twelve of them in number
and all unmarried men but one
are telling thru the Macon Repub-
lican how the people along the
route supplied their wants before
they hardly knew they had any.
Up in Monroe county they were
dined with bread, pies, cake, but
ter and eggs. The people wanted
railroad the worst kind they
said, and that was their very sub
stantial way of proving their sin
cerity. One of the surveyors
speaking of their experience in Au-
drain county says: WE struck
LaddOnia, Audrain county, the
first days Of February, and it was
too cold for camping out. There
were two hotels in the town, and
the citizens got together and char
tered One-the Central-fOr our
special accommodation. They
presented us the keys and receipt
ed bill for the rent as long as we
cared to stay. They also sent
around a colored boy to help us
look after the housekeeping and to
keep our shoes shined. The boys
had time. They soon got ac-
quainted with the girls about town
and it was a mighty poor engin-
eer that didn't have two or three
to escort to church or any enter
tainment that came along. And
let me tell you you can't find any
prettier girls on Missouri soil than
those same young women in and
around Laddonia.

LADDONIA.

The town has not recovered
from the shock and sorrow from
the death Of Mrs. Stotler which
occurred last Wednesday evening.
1t is generally thought that had
the train been running at the us
ual speed, she could have crossed
the track without damage, but as
it was going at a most rapid rate,
she could not measure its dis
lance. Her little girl, Eugenia,
who was in the buggy with her, is
still alive aud the doctors have
hopes of her recovery.
Arthur Stotler and wife are here
with their grief stricken brothers
and sisters.
