SIX WERE KILLED IN WRECK
Bodies of Two More Victims RecOy-

Were Violated.

st. Louis, May 1.-Two more names
were added Sunday to the list of those
killed early Saturday morning in the
wreck Of the Iron Mountain Hot
Springs special train near Kimmswick,
Mo-, a town twenty miles south of St.
Louis. The name of the passenger
killed, whose body could not be iden-
titled Saturday, is believed to be Hof-
file, but nothing is known of his former
residence or relatives. His body was
removed by the Missouri Pacific rail-
road Sunday to Hoffmeister's undertake
ing establishment, in South st. Louis,
where the bodies of the other victims
were taken, and it will be buried by
the railroad company.
William Cotter, general manager of
the Missouri Pacific, stated last night
that the entire blame for the wreck
was attached to the dead engineer,
John M. Bailey, in whose pockets were
found peremptory orders directing that
his train be taken through the siding,
on which the wreck occurred, at mod
crate speed. Conductor Austin told
me-" Mr.. Cotter said, "that he had read
the order to Bailey! "ea M

In the fore part of 1898 an editorial
was published IN a st. Louis paper to
the effect that the %centennials of the
great events in the history of the
United States were not all over, and
predicting that the greatest was yet to
be held-the centennial of the %acquisi-
ton of the Louisiana territory. This
editorial was taken up in the press and
commented upon, resulting in organ
lied agitation by the Missouri His
torical society. The clamor for a COM
memorative centennial became so gem
eral that, in response to strong public
sentiment, Gov. Stevens, of Missouri,
issued a call for a convention of dele
gates representing the states and ter
ritories embraced in the Louisiana
Purchase territory, to be held in st.
Louis on January 10, 1899. The con-
vention was attended by SO delegates
appointed by the respective governors,
and it was unanimously voted to hold
an exposition, international in it's
scope, in st. Louis. The convention
extended an invitation to the United
States government to assist in the en-
terprise, and appointed an executive

committee, with Hon. David R. Fran
els as chairman, and also a committee
of so representative citizens of st.
Louis to cooperate in the matter:
Plans were devised for raising money
to build the exposition, buildings and
defray the general expenses, and it
was fixed that $4,000 900, the amount
paid for the territory, should be raised,
n third by private subscription, one
third to be paid by the city, and one
third to be asked from the United
States government.
On December 1, seven months after
the opening, the exposition will have
officially terminated, and the Louisiana
Purchase exposition will have passed
into history as probably the greatest
and most comprehensive exposition
that the world has ever known.
Pikers of every nation on earth,
CARRIED in their native costumes, and
carrying the instruments peculiar to
their tribes, marched in a procession.
The marine parade on the grand
basin and the lagoons, including more
than 40 craft, followed Immediately

combined professions made the long
est parade that has been seen in st.
Louis in many a day, and one of the
most unique ever seen in the world.
No parade, it is believed, has aver
offered so many varieties of the human

their wealth of products and processes,
are now open for inspection. The peo-
pies, the habits, the CARDS, the arts,
the industries, the birds and animals
and plants of every climate will teach
through the eye the complete lesson of
the twentieth century's first decade.
In the person of one of it's greatest
ministers the government of the United
States was present to address, the peo-
pie of st. Louis and their guests. The
governor Of Missouri and the chief ex-
ecutives of many sister states repre-
scented the various sections of our
country. Foreign commissioners, Sc
lected for their eminent achievements,
told the message of friendly co-opera-
ton in the greatest of modern enter
prises, With the opening of the gates
the people of this city, who have given
SO nobly of their means and energy to
make the exposition worthy of the his
tory of the Louisiana purchase, feel
more than repaid for their sacrifices.
Citizens of st. Louis and visitors
early turned their faces westward, and
every car line leading toward the
Worlds fair grounds 500 began to
feel the pressure, so that when the
gates were thrown open at the grounds
there were thousands at every entrance
awaiting admission.

tA-SENAIOR ii. CARTER,
Chairman National Committee.
Those who had visited the grounds
during the constructive period were
agreeably surprised to find what had
been done during the past few days in
the way Of clearing up the grounds,
while those who saw the fair for the
first time were lost in wonderment at
the magnificent spectacle spread out
before them. 1t was as if they had been
suddenly dropped down in f~airyland.
They had heard much, had read much,
but we're not prepared for the reality,
as they had imagined that a Jorge por-
ton of the stories of the magnitude
and grandeur Of the Ivory City was
Simply so much talk.
The gathering thousands rapidly
spread themselves over the grounds,
examining aud admiring the stately
exteriors of the various buildings, the
portals Of which were to remain closed
until the formal opening ceremonies
were concluded by the touching of the
electric button by President Roosevelt
in Washington that was to start the
machinery in motion, set the beauti-
full cascades running and unfurl the
thousands of banners of all nations
with which the buildings are decorated.
AS the hour arrived for the cere-
monies to begin the hosts gradually
began to wend their way to the grand
plaza, where the exercises were to be
held, and it was not long before little
else could be seen except one vast sea
of humanity, anXiously waiting for the
exercises to begin.
The exercises, preceding the formal
act Of unfurling the flags and opening
the exhibit palaces was spectacular and
elaborate. They were enacted at the
Louisiana Purchase monument, in the
heart of the fair and facing the grand
cascades, the most beautiful panoramic
view in the exposition. There were
assembled the representatives Of the
nations Of the earth, state and local
d~ignataries and distinguished speakers
and personages from all parts of the
country. At the browning moment
(noon) President Roosevelt, in the
White House at Washington, touched
the button and started the machinery
of the fair.
The programme was SO arranged that
the officials who have made the fair a
possibility were the first to arrive at
the monument. The other dignitaries
followed. Meanwhile there was an
elaborate programme of music by the
bands stationed on platforms neal.

AFTER
DESPERATE FIGHT
]. A. Delaney, Wanted in Several
Cities, Captured in Philadelphia.
He HAD DECEIVED HIS WIFE
Wife Comes From Il Good Family in
Baltimore, and did Net Know
That He Was Wanted
BY Police.

Philadelphia, May 2.-John A. De,
laney, who, the police say, is wanted
in st. Louis, New York, Washington,
and particularly by the authorities of
Baltimore, who charge him with for
gerry, was arrested at the Hotel Han
over early Sunday, after a sensational
struggle with two detectives, who owe
their lives to their presence of mind.
The arrest was made in the presence
Of Delaney's wife, who was in bed.
The wife comes from a good family
in Baltimore, and did not know that
he was wanted by the police until the
detectives broke into their bedroom.
The couple were married in January.
She had always believed him to be a
travelling man.
Located Mt Hanover Hotel.
According to the police, Delaney and
his wife left Baltimore on a trip, which
she supposed was for business. The
detectives located them at the Han
over. Assuring themselves that the
couple were in bed, Detective Thomas,
Of Baltimore, and Tall, or this city,
broke in the door, and a struggle in
stantly ensued in the dark with De-
laney. who had jumped from bed at
the first sound. A porter turned on a
light, and the prisoner was soon sub
dued, but not until he attempted to
reach a revolver that was under a pill
low and another under the bed. While
dressing he said he wanted a vest and
stepped to a trunk, but the detectives
anticipated him, and found a third pis-
toll. He made three more moves, such
as to get a collar or a handkerchief,
and in each place the detectives found
a bowie knife. Having been foiled at
every turn, Delaney gave up, and ac-
cording to the detectives, said he would
have made his escape if he could have
reached any one of the six weapons,
even though he had to kill both of
them.
Mr.. Delaney, dumbfounded at the
whole proceeding, almsot went into
Il SUI Pil ullN ICals
Among Delaney's personal effects were
found chloroform and a sponge, a silk
bag, which the detectives say is pat
termed after the kind used by sand
bagging highwaymen; two pieces Of
rope, a chisel and a razor.
Held without bail.
The prisoner was taken to the city
hall and held without bail to await
requisition papers from Maryland.
Mrs. Delaney's mother and sister
were telegraphed for, and they arrived
Sunday afternoon and took the heart
broken woman home.
Delaney told the police that his pres
ent plight was due to his attempt to
have his wife remain in the same So
cial position she was in when he mar
ried her. Delaney also said lie was
at one time confidential agent Of Chris
Won Der Ahe, of st. Louis.

after all.

to do, Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable Com
