Al Jones Killed at a Railway Crossing Near Misonri Valey, Narrow Escape of a Yonng Lady Who Was With Him, A fatal accident occurred at the rail. way crossing on the Sioux City road, about a milo from Missouri vallay, Sunday aftor- A young man named A. L. Jones, who was in the employ of tho noon. road, was out riding in a buggy with a young lady named Miss Emma Allen, of Denison. At the crossing there are two gates, and these were supposed to be closed and|locked, butit appears that the last gate was not closed, the lock being broken. fastened. Jay Jones was crossing the track and discovered that the west gate Tho other gate was securely was securely locked, and at the same timo heard an approaching train. He tried to turn the horses about and get off' the track, The horses became frightened and before he could get out of the way the train was upon him, the engine striking the buggy, smashing it, killing he horse and inflicting such injuries upon Jones that death resulted in the course of two hours or so. The young lady, when she heard the train approaching, hurriedly got out of the buggy, and managed to escape unin- jured, and the young man could doubt- less have saved his life, too, had he abandoned the team, but in trying to control the horses and get them out of the way also, the train caught him. Jones was aged about 33 years and leaves a mother and sister, but their where- abouts are not exactly known. The mother has been living in Des Moines, and the young man had lately sent money to her there to the amount of $£74, but she had not called for it, and it remains there subject to her order. The Des Moines postmaster telegraphs that he thinks she left Des Momes for Coun- cil Bluffa some little time ago. The sis- ter of the young man, Miss Emma Jones, was for a time in the employ of the Broadway hotel here. The young man left an insurance policy of $1,000 in some Des Moines co-operative company, as appears from the papers found in his trunk, His body is at Missour1 Valley, and an effort is being made to learn the whereabouts of the mother and sister, and unless there can be some tidings gained, the funeral will be held this aft- ernoon at 4 o'clock, the railway company attending to the burial.

Telephone No, 4 A MEAN HUSBAND. After Running Through With Mortgaged Property He Deserts (His Wite and Babies, A man named E. Borast arrived here Sunday morning with a team, emigrant wagon, household goods, ete. His wife and two little children, one a babe at the breast, accompanying him. He was here arrested on word received from Ida Grove that he had run away with mortgaged property. A man named Freeman held a morigage on the horses. The whole party, horses. wagons and allwere put by the ofticeas in the pound, and were there to wait the arrival of the Ida Grove creditor and officers. Yester- pay noon the man climbed over the high fence and skipped out leaving his wife and babies here. The woman was well nigh heart brok- en. Her story was that they had been very poor and had worked hard, in order to ieep a team, without which they could not earn enough to support them. He had been obliged to borrow some money. He told her he had borrowed §30, but she afterwards learned it was £50. They concluded to leave Ida Grove and go to where her parents resided in Kangas and he told her he had settled up the debt except $240, which he would send back to Freeman, After being arrested here he acknowl- edged to her that Le had not settled the mortgage. He said ho was afraid that they would back him up, and then he could do nothing to support the fumily, but she cheered him up with the idea that they would perhaps take the team and sell it, and give them what remained after settling the mortgage. When he deserted her, he told her he would go up town after some- thing, and gatting over the fence disap- peared, She says he had about $10 in his pocket, while she ia left without with two babes to care for, and not a bit of food or any help out of her trouble. She is anxiouely wating the arrival of the Ida Grove creditor in hope that she may sot- tle with him in some way so as to get enough out of the property to get her to her parents’ home in Kansas, A man who would thus leave his family in such trouble, while he skipped vut, is certainly entitled to little consideration or sympathy, but the woman, with the babes’clinging|to her, sittingldiscons( 1ately inthe police station, with no money or friends, knowing not where to turn for help, presented certainly a sad picture. | —— FEATS OF ¥ T, The Races at the Driving Park Open o-Day, The spring running meeling of tae Council Bluffs driving park open to-day.

Baldwin,the millionaire rancher, speculator, entered for the third time upon the troubled sea of matrimony, The groom is such a well known figure around town that any description of him is super- fluous. Yestorday, however, ho seemed to have lost a score or more of his well- rounded yoars, so agilo was he in his overy movement, and so buoyant his spirits during the trying ordeal. The new-made bride, Miss Lillie C. Bennett, is his junior by some forty years. She is a protty little demi-brunctte, of petite figure and winsome ways, the only duugh ter of an old "4%%er, A. A. Beuuett, the architoct, who planned the State Capitol at Sacramento. Three years ago she was graduated with honors from the High School, sineo when, being a young lady of accomplishments, sho has become a great favorite in socioty circles. Her father is an invalid, and, being mostly contined to his bed, she, for a long time past, has materiallly aided him in his business, Liast year ho was ordered, for his health's sake, to Los Angeles. Miss Lillio accompanied him, and it was dur- ing thoir stay thore that she first met Mr. Baldwin, The coromony yestorday was performed at the residenco of the bride's parents, No. 2823 California street. It wasa | strictly family party, only a fow of their most intimate friends being present; but, notwithstanding that fact, the appoint- ments for tho oceasion were most elegant. Tho parlors, where tho marrisge service was porformed, wero garlanded with fostoons of smilax richly studded with the bloom of bridal wreath, crimson and white japonicas, English marigolds, marguerites, pausies and sweet smolling roses of every hue, Growing plants wore neatly arranged in cvery corner, and each table and mantel groaned bo- neath its load of tloral beanty. Promptly at 1:30 the wodding party assombled, the bride and groom in travelling dress, and the guests in demi-toilet. The beautiful marriago sorvice of the Episcopal church was then read by the Rev. R C. Ioute, Reuben H. Lloyd meanwhile supporting the groom as best man, aud Miss Mary Morton doing similar service as brides- maid, When the happy couple had been made ono an adjournment was had to the dining-room, where a toothsome collation was served, and a ploasant hour spent in discussing the delicacies of the table and recerving the congratulations of frionds. At 2:30 au revoirs were said, and, midst a shower of rice and a parting salute from an old shoe, which Mr. Floyd throw with remarkablo precission, tho ‘groom and his fair bride hied them away on their honey- moon. They left on the Kast-bound train, and will return some two months hence, when a series of receptions will be held at Mr. Baldwin's residence, No, 1217 California st 3 The groom’s first wife is still living in this city with her married daughter, Mrs. Ford, at the old Baldwin house, No. 410 Geary streot. A legal soparation was had some yoars ago, upon which a large portion of the community property, val- ued at over a million doliars, was settled on the lady.

A lady of rotorious fashion who has triumphed bravely over her humble past, describes graphically & rocent adventure in mid.day on Fifth avenue: T had seen for a long time a queer thing going upand down the avenue, and people climbing in and out through the back. 1 thought finally 1 would see for myself what it meant. I'm rather fond of doing odd things, you know, so I got in. 1 was full of peoplo sitting facing one another, exactly as they do in an English railway carriage. They made room for me and I sat down, o amused, Presontly there was a violent ringing of the bell. I looked all around to see what it meant. After awhile, the bell still ringing, my dear, a man swid to me: **You haven't paid your fare, ma'am.’ 1 got out my purse. I didn’t know what the fare was, but I gave the man a dollar, and thought thut would certainly be enough. Then the man handed it up through a hole, aud gave mo a queer lit- tle paper back, I put it in wy pocket to examine when I got home, They give ono things now everywhere you know. Then the bell began ringing again, Such adin! Then the same man said again to me: *“*You haven't paid your fare, ma'am?' ““Bug I did. 1 gave tho man a dol- lar.’ “4No you didn't, ma'am, in your pocket.’ 1 was the queor little paper bag, my dear, 1 took it out, and the man tore the end off, took out five cents and gave wo a handful of five-cent pieces just as if he'd been a beggar, My dear, I'd been riding up Fifth avenue for five conts, Five cents!
