WRESTLING ON THE TRACK. Charles Dougherty and Ed Callahan Indulge in Fatal Sport. AN AWFUL AND SUDDEN DEATH. Their Bodies Frightfully Orashed and Manglod by a Miscouri Pacifio Train—Another Man Se- riously Injored. Mangled By the Oars. A sudden shriek of the locomotive whistle, o sickening crunching of wheels, and the mangled remains of Charles Dougherty and Ed Cat'ahan Iay bleeding on the track of the Missouri Pacific on the Sixteenth street crossing near the fair grounds. The fatal accident occurred at 2:30 a. m, yesterday and was witnessed only by Pav Powors and Pete Gannon, engineer ana fire- man of engine No. 277 of the transfer train used in running to and from the stock yards, The locomotive was attached %o caboose No, 14, and at the time was bounu for West Side. When Dougherty and Callahan were first scen, it is said, they ‘were scuffling on tho track only ten feet in front of tho train, Engineer Powers immediately gave the whistle of alarm and reversed the engine, but both wore without avail. ‘I'he engine ‘was running at the rate of eight miles an hour at the time, and the fvo men who were wrestling near the track suddenly foll on the road-bed, apparently oblhvious of the ap- rouching train, and were crushed to death. [he train was stopped as soon as possible and Sam Deems, the conductor, notified the coroner of vhe accident. The men were found to be horribly mangled, both having their heads crushed and their bodies and legs frightfully lacer- ated. Iiven the corener, who is accustomed to such sights, was sickened and was unable to attend to business the rest of the day The bodies were brought to the morgue and an inquest was held, the only witnesses being the engneer and fireman mentioned, the verdict being that the deceased came to their death through their own carelessness. At first nothing could be learned as to who the deceased men were, but later in the day they were identified as Charles Dougherty and Ed Callahan, both of whom are employ- ed by the waterworks company at. Florence. Dougherty had but 10 cents on his person, but as he was a member in good standing of the A, O, U. W,, the members of that organ- ization will see that he receives a decent burial. lahan had about $7 on his person. Both were carrying packages in which were found new shoes and clothes. It was not discovered until about 5 o’clock that there was & third person hurt, when James McElroy was picked up near the track bleeding and stunned. His injuries were confined maiuly to his head, but he was unable to give an account of the aceident except that he was on his way home attne time, [t is supp)ysed that he was the first one struck by the locomotive, and that he was thrown by the cow-catcher into the weeds while the attention of the enginecer and fireman was directed elsewhere. His ries are not thought to be fatal. He was }‘l. en to St. Joseph's hospital, where he now es. A Ber reporter saw McElroy at St. Joseph's hospitol, but was unable to draw any information from him. Hesays he re- mewmbers nothing except that ho and the othker two men had been down town driuk- irg and started up the track to go home. He doesn’t remember being struck and cun re- member nothing afterward. 1t has been learned that one of the men had a lettor on his person dated “Phila~ delphia, October 8, 1838, and signed **Your loving sister." Conductor’ Deems says that when he reached the mangled men he discovered thatone of them was breathing. He at once ran to the drug store at the corner of Six- teenth and Lecust streets to summon a physician. The druggist refuscd to let him use his telephone without the payment of a quarter. Deems told him he had no quarter, but would pay him later. Tho bellicoss druggist refused to give him credit, and he was not ablo to find_ another ’phone in the neighborkood. et e Wrenched His Back. How many men given to heavy labor go through life with a kind of hitch in the back- bone, caused by wrenching at some period in their younger days. Let all such take heed from the following letter: C. R. Bentley, Lyndonville, county, N. Y., writes “Some years ago, while loading sheep on the railroad, I wrenched my back. I was confined to my ved for four weeks, being partially paralyzed. AsT could get mno re- lief I put on my spine three ALLCOCK'S Pras- TERS from the small of my back up between my shoulders. From that day I suffercd less pain and began to get better. I put fresh plasters on every ten days, and in & month I was well and attending to my business.’” RGN DEATH BY ELECTRICITY. Orleans What a Professor at Johns Ropki University Has to Say. Prof. William H. Howell, Ph. D., of Johns Hopkins university, Baltimore, in speaking of execution by electricity, Bays: *Anybody who has been unfortunate enough to have a very strong electric cwrent pass througn his tem must suffer paralysis of some or all of the nerve centers. This may be temporary or may be permanent. If the paralysis does not affect the vital parts of the human mechamsm, the patient may live. And cnses are not rare of partiul paralysis of the brain and spinal cord, impairing the subject’s usefulness en- tirely or in part during life. A large part of the brain proper may thus be affecte, and yet life not be extin- guished. “In the lower animals large portions of the brain have been removed with- out destroying life. There have been no experiments made to asceriain Low an electric shodk stops the life pro- cesses, It must, however, destroy the nerve centre controlling respiration or that controlling the action of the heart, or act on both, These nerve centres are situated in the medulla oblongata, which is in the base of the brain at the top of the spinai column. The action of a stroke of lightning or contact with a strong current of electricity depends on the constitution of the man who re- ceives the shock, but more on how the current passes through his body. *In the cases of the men who escaped the death which met so many others who have handled electric light wires, the current cannot gossibly have reached the vital spot with undi- minished strength. The ends of the wire handled were partly insulated, and thus in most cases it is probable that only a part passed through the sys- tem. Iiiven this current, before it reaches the medulla, must pass through the hands, arms, and spinal cord, and therefore be largely distributed through the body and diminish in intensity. *“The descriptions of the apparatus in the infliction of the penalty which the New York criminal is to suffer show that theve is little possibility of his es- caping almost instantaneous death, His head fn to be invested in a metalic cap, and the full strength of a very strong current sent directly through the nerve centers controlling “the mechanism of life. These munie immediatoly para- lyzed, and the beat of the heart as well as the breathing cease. The brain must 8lso be entirely paralyzed at once and cousciousness l’ufit. Ixperiments have been made already with apparatus in the Auburn prison on very large ami- mals, and the death was in every in- stance painless and immediate, ) *1t Lias been stated ia this connection that one partof the human body may e while the rest lives on and perforn 1ts normal functions. The physiologist distinguishes botween somatic death— that is, death of a person as a whole-— and cellular disintegration. One may happen without the other, though na- turally to a very limited extent, Dur- ing the life of the individual disease may interfere with the life process in various parts of the body, or paralysis may cauge them to become useless, 'On the other hand, after the death of the individual, it can easily be proved that the cellular organization of the muscles is still intact. that the muscle is still alive, because many hours after the beat of the heart has censed the ssage of an electric cur- rent through a muscle will make it con- tract in the usual manner. Blood cor- uscles are said to live at least twenty- lour hours atter the blood has ceased to flow. And many well-substantiated cases are on record of the beard and hair growing long after the body has been interred. But this has no connec- tion with the interference with the nor- mal proces of lite—the regular breathing of the lungs and the pump- ing of blood into the circulatory system. When these cease, dissolution, death, sets in, somatic death it is called in physiology, departure of the soul in religion. “The most serious matter, how ever in the three modern modes of inflicting the death penalty is not the sufferings of the crimtnul at the supreme moment, but the mental tortures he must under- 2o in the preparations for the death and the unnecessary amount of acquaint- ance ho has with them for days in ad- vance. But even this is of slight mo- ment alongside of the shock and the demoralizing influence the sightor even the reading of the details has on inno- cent minds. The horrors of capital punishment may ba regarded as a ne- cessity for some low creaturcs asthe only deterring influence. Thero is no possible excuse for the exhibition of the horrible details or the publication of the same in the public press. This is one of the greatest benefits of the most approved method of the death penalty now about to be applied in New York.” fixbetivi ol Over the Pathless Ocean, Athwart vast continents traversed by mighty iron thoroughfares, many armed like the tabled Briaveus, myriads set forth daily to encounter the vicissitudes of travel, chunge of climate, unaccustomed food, and su at- mosphere possibly miusimic, yet with a_calm confidence that their health will be pre- served.

A Culifornia Tramp That Turned Out to Be a Nebraska Girl. On Tuesday last a young man and a boy were about the streets peddling fans prettily made out of wood, says the Hollister (California) Free Lance. George Austin watched them and told D. L. Dunham he thought the boy was a girl. On Wednesday afternoon the boy came to Mr. Dunham’s tailor shop to see about a coat. Dave offerad meas- ure him, but the boy objected. Dave insisted, and in mensuring the boy found substantial indications that made him believe he was no boy, but a very well-built woman. He toid the marshal the result of his investigations, and the marshal invited the boy to his office, and there, strange to say, he was con- vinced that the boy wasa woman and deserving of arrest for masquerading in boy’s clothes. She was taken to jail, where she was visited by several kind- hearted ladies, who volunteered to fit her out in clothes suitable for her sex, and to find her a home. She accepted both invitations, and will be given a home in some kind family. ‘When her companion, who stated he had been tramping with her for a month, was told that she was indeed a woman, his surprise apparently was boundless; he indignantly denied that she was a woman, but declared she was aboy. He was arrested on suspicion, but as no charge could be made againt him he was allowed to go on the prom- ise of leaving town immediately, which he zllid after leaving some money for the girl. She claims to be a resident of Lin- coln, Neb., and to have worn boys’ clothes for six months without detec- tion. She left Nebraska in company with another girl in male attive, but they parted company at Cheyenne. When arrested she claimed to be a brother of her companion, whose name was Spencer. He afterwards said his name was Steward. She finally ac knowledged her name to be Mary Wil- liams. Iu appearance she is about five feet three inches in height, a decided bru- nette, eark hair, well formed, and weighs 128 pounds. She is eighteen years of age. £ sl Walter Brothers, of Waltersburg, Pope couu Ill., sold 380 bottles of Chamberiain’s Colie, Cholera and Diar- rbeea Remedy during the epidemic of bloody flux in that county last summer, and state that they never heard of its failing in a single instance where the directions were followed. There were as many as five deaths in one day of persons who used other medicines or were treated by physicians. ol Free Lunch Journalists, When a party of men travel about the country on railroad passes, loudly pro- claiming that they are editors or journ- alists, 1t is protty safe to say that Lhefr are dead beats. Says the Pittsburgh Dispatch: In cities such men are usu- ally called free lunch fiends, or simply beats. Their connection with the press is generally confined to borrowing quarters from (newspaper men. It is pleasant, therefore, to hear of the sorry discomfiture of a gang calling itself the Ohio editorial excursion, which started on a trip through the south a week or two ago. The party consisted of four- teen journalistsyabout a hundred un- specified anomalies, and one newspaper man—probably a very young one. At first the Ohio editorial excursion- ists, on the strength of their title, were received and entertained royally wherever they went. But gradually it leaked out that there was not an editor in the party, and they got, instead of free hack rides, speeches and banquets, a decided cold shoulder when they reached Atlanta. They had difficulty in getting out of the frigid region after their identity was established, for the railroad men lifted the passcs. We re- gret that we cannot certainly say that none of the crew resched home. The editors of Ohio, however, have greater cause to regret the return of the ex- cursionists, and the Dispateh begs to tender its heartfelt sympathy to them. o ot il e Catarrh cured, health and sweet breath secured by Shiloh’s Catarrh Remedy.

THE OMAHA DAILY BEE: FRIDAY, HIS WATCH AND MONEY GONE. Wounds Apparently Inflicted by a *Bludgeon Found on His Head and Neck—Covering Up a Orime. A Mysterious Affair, Edward Williams, a private in Company G, Second infantry, was found dead and hor- ribly mangled on the Fremont, Elkhos & Missour: Valley tracks in the immediate vi cinity of Fort Omaha at 11:30 o’clock Wed- nesday right. Michael McCarthy, a member of the same company, was returning to the post from Central park, a point situated about one-half mile from the fort, and in walking along the Elkhorn tracks he stum- bled over an obstacle. He instituted an in- vestigation, and in groping around in the dark his hand came in contact with the head of a human being, M. Carthy was frightened, and an to the company’s quarters and informed his comrades that the body of aman was lying on the track. Several members of the company repaired to the spot, and, with the mid of & lantern, identified the remains as thoso of Edward Williams, awember of their company. The coroner was notified, but owing to the report being thought to be the same ono on the Belt line, the official over- looked it, and was not awaro that an accidout had actually occurred on the Elkhorn until Sergeant Cole, from Fort Omaha, reported the matter personally yesterday morning. Upon the request of the authorities at the fort Coroner Lirexel authorized the removal of tho remains from the scene of the accident to the federal hospital. This was uone early yesterday morning, and a wore badly lace ated corpse was perhups never witnessed The arms and lower limbs were severed from the body and ground into a pulp. ‘he trunk was torn to atoms, the intestines and bones being strewn fora distuncs of 300 feet. The clothes were torn into shrods, ‘Was he murdered and then thrown on the track in order that the crime mignt be wiped from suspicion? This is what suggested itself to the minds of those who gave the accident a second thought. A reporter visited the scone yesterday afternoon, when it was learned that Wil- liams had been at Purtells beer gavien Wednesday night and imbibed quite freely. Tho bartender, Abe Gillon, stated ti saw him between 10 and 11 o'cioc evenmg, and that, while he o dulging some, he ias comparatively s SWilliams,” he smd, “came in and wot a bucket of beer, and then went ovt and sat down in the garden and dravkit. I do not remember who was with_him, bet he talking to several people during the eveuin, He had money, but I do not know how much. Private Dodrett, of Company K, t to-day that Williams had over 370 with nim, T did not see him after he got the bucket of beer and went into the garden.” A member of Company G stated that an- other member of his company, whose name hie would not divulg Iliams leave the garden about 10:30 o'clock, and the latter stated that be was going to Central park. He proceeded up ‘Thirtisth street until the tracks were reached, and he then walked along the tracks. About half an hour later a west bound freight train thun- dered along. Wilhiams showed no sigus of intoxication, and had ample time to reach his destination before the train came along. At the point on the road where the body was found tho grade 8 about twenty fee! and is a very lonesome and seldom fre- quented spot, aside from it being a pathway to @ disrepulable place inu Omaha Heights, The blood stains and particles of flesh on the track inaicated that the body was run down about three hundred and fifty yards frow the crossing by the train, and was dragged along under the wheels. The fact that both rails were smeared ‘with blood and flesh, and the body so badly torn, led to the beliof that the deceased was beaten into insensibility and then laid cross- ‘wise of the track. A reporter called at the headquarters of Dr. Haskins, junior surgeon of the post. The doctor ~stated that ho had not closely examined the remains, but w: of the opinion that all the & and cuts on the body and head re or might be made by the tran. He declined to state his opinion as as to foul play. The reporter next visitea the hospital, wicre he was shown the remains. Aside from the body being terribly lacerated, the bead gave evidence of having undergone violence. ‘I'he scalp was cut in five piaces, each wound ap- pearing to haveresulted from the blow of an instrument, possibly a coupling pin.

However, the, sum of money and a silver watch and a gold chain which Wil- liams was known to have on his person at the time he reached the tracks, about forty minutes before his body was found, were missing, a matter which has led his friends to form the conclusion that he was ylaid and robbed, und his body then placed on the tracks by his assailants, who evidently know that it was about train timo, and who thought that their dasturdly deed would be | was being sold. curtained in this way.

A sad scene was witnessed at an anc- tion sale by o bailiff at the corner of Whitehall and Alapama stroets a few days ago. says the Atlanta Journal, The bailiff was selling a lot of old furniture which kad'been levied on to pay house rent, The levy was made on adistross warrant. The furniture was sold piece by piece until_a rickety cradle was reached. Somebody in the audience bid 10 cents and the crowd laugHed. A lady, dressed in'a threadbare black dross, with a face upon which was stamped sorrow and.care, approached a gentleman present and said: “Will you please buy that cradle for me?

It was her furniture which The cradle was old, and it was doubtless many years since she watched the little sufferer tossing about with the fever that burned its little life out. The cradle was bought and given to her, and the bailif! 1 a drayman to haul it to the woman’s home, And the crowd lavghed no more, and there was o tear in the eye of the man who bid 10 cents for the old rickety cradle. —— ““POSTHOLE JACK."

A moath afterward some cowboys came up where John was at work and asked him how far east intended to go with the posthole busi- ness.
