: Q‘ : BHR 5 188 HEADLIGHT GLEAMS. 6y Will Penetrate The Gond Hills and Rich Valieys of Wyoming, Newsand Notes From Varlons Rail- road Authorities, The mild weather of this fall has been no-where more appreciated than among cially of the crews of railroad trains, esp freights. Winter is harder onthe train-men than any other class except the poor. In sum- mer they suffsr from heat but in winter, to the biting cold 1s added the danger of mishaps on the icy decks of the cars or the slippery rails and frogs in switching. These folks who earn their monoy so dear- ly and run such great risks are thankful for the delightful warm weather and ab- sence of snow. A PAINFUL ACCIDENT, Oonductor Gaylord met with a painful, but happily not serious, accident Wednes- day afternoon. He was sitting on the bed at home, and with a cap extractor was attempting to romove the cap from a brass cartridge which had failed to fire, when the cart- rladge exploded in his hand,lacerating the hand considerably and disfiguring his face some, the charge of shot going into the bed upon which he was sitting. Dr. Barker was called to dress the wounds, which, fortunately, are not serious. CINDERS, Messrs, Markel, Swobe & Co. have abandoned the project of locating their office in the Union Pacific baggage room, and have leased the three-story brick building, Ninth and Leavenworth, owned by Barker Bros. and recently oc- cupied by the Thayer Commission com- pany. These premises will be remodeled and used as an oftice and supply depot for the_thirty-one eating houses which, as the Pacific Hotel company, they con- trol. Mr. J. J. Burns, general etorekeeper of the Union Pacific railway, is acting general purchasing agent also and has his oftice at the headquarters building. Mr. A, A, Egbert having resigned as superintendent of the Colorado division, the duties of that office will be per- formed by Mr. E. Dickinson, Dr. George F. Wright was appointed assistant chief surgeon on November 18, with headquarters at Denver., Appoint- ment to take eflect December 12. Mr. W. B. Doddrige, having resigned a8 superintendent of the Idaho division, to take effect December 1, the duties of that office will, until further notice, be performed by Mr. E. Dickinsan, assistant ge&mml superintendent, Denver, Colo- rado. REACHING FOR THE ROCKIES, It is reported that the Chicago & Northwestern will before long extend ita system from the Misgouri river to a junc- ton with the Central Pacific at Ogden, Utah. Such an extenslon could be made either by prolonging the Black Hills line from Pierre, Dak., its present terminus, through Wyoming, or by continuing the Sioux City & Pacific through Northern Nebraska to Ogden. The Railway Age, which seems to be unaware of the exis- tenee of the B. & M. and D. & R. G., or else of the fact that they are virtually C. 8. & Q. extensions and give that road a complete system from Chicago to Ogden, says: Inytime we believe that the Northwest- eru, the Burlington & Quincy and the Milwaukeo & St. Paul will be extended out to the Rocky Mountains and possibly even to the Pacific coast, The valleys and plains to be traversed have resources and advantages now unappreciated and the advent of rallways into new localities will secve to develope them. The Nortnwestern would show an en- terprise that would be well rewarded If it should be the first to puzh out into the heart of Wyoming territory and on to Ogden. The Age continues: It must be that the truuk and the Chicago and Missouri river lines are carrying passengers simply out of benevolence, or the pleasure de- rived by themselves from such a charity, for, surely, at tho present rates, there cannot be any vrofit in their action. The St. Louis and Chicago lines are also en- gaged in a similar undertaking. These roads areadministered by officers, who are paid salarics which go on just the same whether rates ere maintained or not; the properties are owned, however, by stockholders who, if rates are cut down to nothing, do not receive the divi- dends that would otherwise be paid them. The situation reminds us of the fable which tells how certain bad boys amused themselves by throwing stones at frogs in the pond. The poer frogs at last spoke ap and said that, while throwing miseles might be fun for the boys, it was then death to them, This demoralization of rates may be exceedingly funny for to ticket agents and other railroad officers, also prooably to travelers, who are of course glad to get something for nothing, but is terribly rough on the stockholders. STOUK SHIPMENES, On Tuesday 54 cars of hogs were re- celved av Boyd’s packing house and on Wednesday 45 cars. An average of 15.- 00 head per day is being packed. The hog crop s reported as quite large and rices range from §3 90 to $4.10 per 100 bs. The animals are all in good condi- ;.ion and the cholera rapidly dissppear- ng. g\'euterdl s business at the bridge hog yards was Green & Burke 7 cars hogs, 2 cars cattle. C, R, Scholler 4 cars hogs, 1 car sheep 1 car horees, The hoge were all sold to Packer Stewart of Council Blutfa. RAILWAY SIGNALS, The uniform lamp ana nand signals, also bell cord and whistle tignals, as adopted by the general convention held at Chicago, October 9, will go into effect on the Rock Island Sunday next. The whistle signal on appreaching a station will be as heretofore, a blast five seconds in length, while a call for brakes will bs & sharp, short blast There short calls from the whistle while the traln is standing means back up, and when moving the same signal is used to call attention to signals carrled on the engine for sections follow- ing. The signals, with a few exceptions, are almost identical with those formerly used. Superintendent Given has dis tributed a circular smong employes, giv- ing comprehensive explanations of the new slgnals, and each trainman s ex: pected to so familiarize himself with the code as to be able to carry them into im- mediate use, S — Orystal Wedding.

The order also included asupply of enuff with which tno boxes were to be kept filled, The officer to whom was in- trusted this duty, with true democratio econ- omy, procured tho old-fashioned cheap black boxcs and fastened them on the glistening white ledgos as directed, There they are to this day and full of snuff, illustrative of the nging and change-abhorring branch of cong Capt.

J., on Sunday, attracted a good deal of attention in Chicago, both because he was at ono timo well known here and algo bocause he loft his remains to the Chicago Medical Oolloge for purpnses of dlssoction, In none of the published accounts of the affair which have ap- peared so far has tho “‘Dootor's” rerl history been given. Mr. AV Spencer, feeling keenly the position in which the “De Castro’, children, who are Dr. Spencer's grand- children, have been placod, hes refused to throw any light on tho subject of the suicide’s early life. Two nephews of ‘‘De Castro” have been found. They are Otto and Fritz Gellerup, very . intelligent young men, and carry on business at 76 North Clark street. It seoms that **Dr., Fordinand Do Castro’s” real name was Ferdinand Kastrup. Instead of being an, Italian count, a Spanish nobleman or any other nabob, he could reslly only lay claim to being the son of a very re- spectable and very wealthy Danish mer- chant, who did an extensive business in Copenhagen. He gave his son a good common school education, and also sont him to colloge. After finishing his education Fordirand spent soveral years at home. He had all the money he wanted to epend. Finally his father - |atarted him out with a pocket full of money, and the young man for several years engeged in visiting nearly every country on the face of the globe. About the year 18G5, when young Kastrup was something like 30 years of age, ho came back to Copenhagen. A terrible epldem- ic in the nature of cholera was raging in the city. The people, surrounded on all sides by dead and dylng, gave themselves up to the gloomlest forebodings, for they thought the city would be depopulated. The fertile brain of Ferdinand Kastrup seized on the ovcasion to get his name prominently mentioned, and, as it after- wards turned out, to feather his own neat. He sought an audience with the king of Denmark, which was granted, The young man elo- quently presented to his majosty the terrible condition of his subjects. He urged on him the necessity of etarting some kind of popular amusement that would turn the thoughts of the people from the terrible epidemic. The king fell in with the idea. Isastrup’s scheme was to get up an ethnological museum or falr. He urged that as he had spent years in travel and had visited all na- tions, he could, from the knowledge galned about the inhabitants of foreign lands, prosent & corract living picture of their mede of dress and manner of life. The king consented, and though young Kastrup furnished some of the cash, his majesty gave tho mostof it. Aftora fow months’ hard worl, Kastrup opened the museum. It was @& success from the beginning, ‘'he people of Copenliagen flocked to it and money poured into the treasury. Kastrap handled all the fands, and at i close suddenly dieappeared from the city with every cont of cash, » It amounted to thousands and thousands of dollars, With his ill-gotten gaing he came to America, Here he spent the monoy lavishly, enact- ing the role of a foreign nobleman, and lived in the helght of splendor. In 1870 his father dled, leaving him §30,000. Kastrup went to Copenhsgon, secured the money and married a lady of excel- lent birth, Then coming back to Amer- ica b is next heard of in Waukegan, 111, where he purchased a splendid fruit farm, calllpg it ‘‘Martha's Orchard,” after his wife, Mr, Paul Gellerup, father of the young men who furnish this history, ~ had an interest in the farm, Kastrup entertained in an extrava- gant manner, Daring this time his wife died and the widower became a suitor for the hand of Miss Spencer and sub- sequently marrled her, Kastrap ran into debt and disappeared, leaving Gel- lerup to pay the acore, The Gellerups next saw him in 1873, when he turned up in Milwaukee and boarded with them a fow montbs, Here Kastrup blos- somed out as Dr, Ferdinand De Castro. Heo had never etudied medisine, but his natural ability enabled him to build up a fine practice, As he had done before, however, he ran into debt and again dis- appeared, The Gollernps heard that he was practiciog in New York, and made efforts to find him, but were un- successful, They heard no more of him until they read the sccount of the suicide, Kastrup was able to speak five languages and was a fine musiclan, As an illustration of his unlimited con- fidence in himself, it ig related of him that once when in attendance at a select party in Milwaukee he boasted of hav- ing composed many Italisn songs. In realty he had only a smattering cof Italian, He was immediately asked to sing one, Without & moment's hestta. tion he eat down to the piano and sang & common Danish peasant's ditty, As none of the company knew either 1talian or Danish, “De Castro' was enabled to deceive his suditors, His nephews in- timated that drink was the chief one of his failings. o —— Out of Ttaly’s 29,000,000 inhabitants only 1,000,000 subscribe to newspapers. SHOT BESIDE HER CORPSE. A" Scene of Horror in a Brooklyn Residence, A Bereaved H|l‘~.lv.\"u| Shoots Himselt While Watching Bes His Dead Wite Dies His Arms Locked About and with the Body, Now York Sun, December & Mra. Luella Saunders, late of No, 631 Carlton avenuo, Brooklyn, and still later of Plalnfield, New Jersey,f died on Satur- day undor very poculiar circumatance Her husband was the well-known Frank Saunders, oarsman and athlote. and will be remembered as having iyvented the rowing machine, with w)u:‘\ ho ocould practice In his room, The aftection exis- ting betwoon himself and his wifo was of o passionate, devoted nature, and although she had been an invalid for twolvo years—since the birth of their only child-—his kind- nows toward her was 80 unromitting s to attract attention wherever the ocouvle were acquainted. Untila comparatively recont period Mre. Saunders resided in the house of hor father, Mr. George C. Thomas, No. 631 Carlton avenue, Brook- lyn, with her husband, but it was their intentlon to live at their comfortable home in Plainfield after the presidential eloction, Mr. Saunders has taken much interest in the political campaign, but, that ended, his intention was to roturn with his wife to his residenco in Plaiafield and remain there, A fow days bofore Thankegiving Mr. Thomas having intended holding a family rounlon at his residonco, Invited his daughter and eon-in-law, and No. 631 Carlton avenuo resounded for the next fow days withsoolal merriment. On last Thursday Mrs. Saunders felt better than she had for years, owing probably to the occasion and the joyous surroundings, but more especlally to tho fact that hor husband was unususlly joyovs, oven for him with his gontal flow of spirits, Next day, howover, there was a reaction. Sho felt ill, and she resoived, with the agreo- ment of her husband, to return to hoe quiet home in Plainfield after making s tow soolal calls, But on the afternoon of Friday the invalid grew so soriously ill a8 to alarm her frlonds. She was acous- tomed totake chloral to allay her pain, and in tho morning took an unusually large dose. Dr. ———— was im- modiately called in, but all that profes- sional akill and reeources could do fatled to have offect, and the unfortunate lady expired carly on Saturdsy morning in her husband’s arms, Mr. Saunders was frantic over his aflliction and refused to be comforted. On Saturday evening, Mr. H. T. Chapin, a friend of his, called to offer his sympathy. e found his friend plunged in silent griof, sittlng on the bed occupied by the dead body. He tried to soothe him, and apparentiy succoeded to a cortain extent, for the boreaved hus- band promised to go out with him for a walk later. In fact, ho did go out, but returned Iato in the evening, and going up to the room stayed there all night without interruption from those who rospected his grief. Early on Sunday morning a lady of the family ascended to the chamber of death, on the third floor, and entreated him to go to a warmer room and to partake of refreshments, He was rational, but taciturn. In answer at length to her repeated ro- quests, ho said: “Leave me alone and I shall go down in a fow moments.” Satisfied with this promise, reluctantly glven, the lady left the room, but had not desconded more than half a dozon steps when she was startled by the loud report of a pistol. She returned, flung open tho door and shrieked loudly at the terrible scene betoro her. The deceased Iady was dressed in the loose flow- ing garment she dled in, her hair dis- heveled, and extended right across her was the body ef her husband, his breast pressed to hers, a purplo stream {ssuing from his mouth and a revolver graspod In his right hand, which was yet palpitating, though its owncer himself was stark dead. The report and the screams alarmed the household and the chamber was in a few moments the scene of inde- scribablo disorder, The bullet had en- tered the mouth, toaring away the palate, entering the brain, and death must have been instantaneous, As if the guardian spirlt of the unfortunate man's wife had protested agalnst the shooting act, it was found that her hand, which heretofore had rested calmly on the bed, was now pressod closely to her husband's side, Great difficulty was found in liftiog Mr, Suunders from tho vody of his wife, and it was only after many fruitless efforts the shoeet bencath her he had grasped by intent, or in his death ag- ony, was roleased from his hold, It is concluded that he had intended suicide from the moment he lost his wife, for he had never carried arms, and the 32-cali- MUSIC COODS.
