AN EMERY WHEEL BURSTS. | A Man’s Skull Crushed—Caught at a Cross- ing— Killed by the Cars—Thirteen Horses Burned—Bitten by a Mad Dog. BIRMINGHAM, Ala., Nov. 26.—At Win- t of here on the Kan- sas City, Memphis & Birmingham rail- road, unknown parties drove a wedge between the inner rail and split rail of the switch, half throwing it, with a view to wrecking the midnight Bir- mingham express for robbery. That train happened to be late, and a west- bound coal train was wrecked. The locomotive toppled over. Engineer Albert Zimmerman attempted to jump, but was caught between the tender and the engine as it went down and crushed to death. His fireman sprang through the window and _ escaped. There is no clew to the wreckers. An Emery Wheel Barsts. ELKHART, Ind., Nov. 26.—Charles J. Weller, a well-known young man,aged 2l years, of this city, while in the emery room of the Buescher Manufac- turing Co's plant here, was struck by half of a bursting emery wheel, which had been making 2,300 revolutions per minute, and killed. His skull was crushed. Caught at a Crossing. SpokANE, Wash., Nov. . —Fred Mayes was struck by a passing train here yesterday as he was driving across the tracks. He was thrown 40 feet, striking on his head, fractur- ing his skull. The horse was also tossed into the air and killed. Mayes is still alive, but cannot possibly re- cover. Killed by the Cars. Pine Briurr, Ark., Nov. 26.—Aften losing his wife, falling and injuring his leg, and severely scalding himself while cleaning hogs, all within the month past, R. P. Boyd, while walking on the Iron Mountain track, near Dumas, Ark., was run over by a pas- senger train and crushed to death. Thirteen Horses Burned. HOPKINSVILLE, Ky., Nov. 26.—The large stable of J. P. Etseh, a wealthy farmer, residing near this city, was de- stroyed by fire yesterday morning, to- gether with all its contents, consisting of thirteen horses, all his crop, vehi- clesand farming implements. The fire was the work of incendiaries. Bitten by a Rabid Dog. Fow er, Ind., Nov. 26.—Yesterday afternoon the 8-year-old daughter of Joseph Danner was bitten by a rabid dog. This is the third case of a like nature in the past three days, and the authorities are now killing all unmuz- zled dogs. AGENT GLICK INDORSED. The United States Pension Commissioner Upholds His Recent Decision. TorrKaA, Kan., Noy. 26.—Pension Agent Glick’s refusal to take from the post office vouchers on which postage was not wholly prepaid, has called out a letter from United States Pension Commissioner Lochren. Mr. Lochren thinks Mr. Glick’s stand is a good one, and has ordered every pension agent to take the same position. The com- missioner’s letter is as follows: Continued complaints have come from the United States pension agents that notaries and claim agents, who undertake for pension- ers to forward their executed quarterly vouch- ers for payment, habitually place a larger number of such vouchers in one envelop, with but one letter stamp or clearly insufficient stamps for postage thereon: with the result that the United States pension agent must pay postage on the packet when offered for delivery to him, or refuse to receive it and allow it to go to the dead letter office. No such case oc- curs when the pensioner sends his own vouch- er, as a Single letter stamp is always sufficient for its transmission. The notaries and ciaim agents alluded doubtless collect postage from the pensioners and dishonesty retain it, ex- pecting that the United States pension agents will pay the postage rather than delay the payments. There is no way to end this petty Swindling except by the refusal of the United States pension agents to pay such deficient postage; and you are instructed hereafter to refuse such payment. If pensioners will in- trust their business to men so devoid of hon- esty as to pilfer their postage, there is no good reason why the loss and inconvenience should not fall on them, rather than on the United States pension agents. THE BLIZZARD AT ST. LOUIS. The Heavy Sleet Demoralizes the Tele- graph Service. Sr. Louis, Nov. 26.—The first bliz- zard of the season struck this city early last evening and continued until near- ly daylight this morning. The snow- fall is about 5 inches, but on account of the high winds it is badly drifted. The heavy sleet had a bad effect on telegraph, telephone and other electric wires and the service is demoralized. From 11 o'clock last night until 1) o'clock this morning St. Louis had been cut off from all telegraphic com- munication with points east, west and north. The reports received so far this morning state that the blizzard extended from North Dakota to Texas to the Atlantic The railroad traffic suffers se- verely and nearly all roads report trains from one to six hours behind time. It is feared that the storm wil] | cause great hardship to cattlemen in | the territories and Texas. The Hearnes’ Trial Set. Bow tné GREEN, Mo., Nov. 26.—Last evening Joseph C. Hearne and Mrs. Fannie Hearne, charged with the mur- der of Amos J. Stillwell, at Hannibal in 1889 were brought into court, the 1 | FIVE KILLED IN A FIRE | —— | Chicago Firemen Buried Beneath Four Falling Walls. Chicago, Il., Nov. 22.—The inte-! |rior of the Exchange building a sey- jen story structure at the corner of | Van Buren and Franklin streets,was | | | destroyed by fire to-day, entailing a/°! {loss of $375,000 upon the owners | jand tenants of the building and jury of six other people,all of whom are expected to recover The escape of Olga Kellar of 575 marvelous by those who saw_ her, when she appeared at a fourth story & Biers, and when the room where she was working began to fill with smoke she ran to one of the windows overlooking Van Buren street. She threw up the sash,climbed out on the of the sash.She caw a few feet below her the ladder, on which stood two firemen, and she prepared to jump. “Wait, don't jump!” tain Hermanson, reached the window. Great volumes of smoke poured out the window where the girl stood and at times her form was entirely obscured. To the hundreds of per- sons who were watching her from the street the seconds seemed hours. Cheer after cheer went up for Cap- tain Hermanson as he climbed up. He had almost reached the window when he suddenly stopped None on the street knew the cause. He had heard the girl scream, and as he looked up he saw her ree! and re- lease her hold on the window siding. She had been overcome by the smoke and had fallen. Captain Herman- son braced himself, aud as the un- conscious form dropped he seized it with his right arm. The effort near- ly cost him his own life, for he nar- rowly escaped falling. From hup- dreds of throats cheers were heard as the brave captain descended the lad- der with his human burden. He was greeted with unmistakable signs of approval as he carried the girl across the street into adrug store. She was unconscious, but a physician said she would recover. THE CHRISTMAS N MBER OF Frank Leslie’s Popular Monthly, The Christmas number of Frank Leslie's popular monthly is already out, and will hardly be surpassed in richness and beauty of pictoral illus- tration, or in seasonable variety of literary contents, by anything that may follow during the holiday sea- son. The opening article, “Heroine and Heroine Worship,” affords a ve- hicle for nearly a score of exquisite reproductions from the old and modern masterpainters. A similar oppurtunity is found in the intense- poetic story by A. Cressy Morrison of ‘The Man Who Resembled Christ’ which, in addition is illustrated with some original drawings of rare del- icacy. In “The City of Dordretch,” George C. Haite fairly revels in the picturesque, giving us eight of his loveliest aquarelies. The great lit- erary feature of the number is Tol stei’s latest story. “Master and Man” especially translated from the Rus sian for Frank Lelie’s Populur Monthly, and illustrated by Fogarty A charming novelty is, “A Daughter of the Samurii,’ by Teiichi Yamagata being an up to date Japanese love story written in Englich by a Japa- nese author. Amongst other contri- butions deserving special mention are “Heroine of Chivalry,” by Mrs. Frank Leslie; ‘“Litery Boston,” by Lilian Witing; “The St. Nicholas Society,” by Wilf P. Pond; “How by A. Oakey Hall; and “A Legend of | Jeanne d’Arc,”—the latter {being a | poem by Francois Coppee. \ Dallas, Tex., Nov. 2 .—Fire last night destroyed the four-story brick and stone structure occupied by the causing the loss of five lives, the fa-| tal injury of two others and the in-| Van Buren avenue is regarded as} window.

Foster Item: The Eastern Star ladies will give a supper Thanksgiving night at the home of Mr. Huffs.

On last Monday morning Mrs Ame- lia Asher, living near the railroad about a mile west of here, discovered a dead man lying on the track. She notified the citizens of the sad occur- rence, and Mr Bud Rowland held an inquest and decided that the deceas- ed came to hisdeath by being run over by a train, while intoxicated.
