Heis Orushed by a Freight Train in the Emelter Yards. THE BODY TERRIBLY ~ MANGLED. A Disastrous Smashup at Gilmore— Hon. John A. McShane Aboutto Begin the Erection of a Magnificent Hotel. Garl Zaceviscky, a Bohemian laborer em ployed in the retort works at the smelter, was run over and killed by a freight train at 10:30 o'clock yesterday morning. The body was terribly mangled, the head being entirely sovered from the trunk, both legs cut off below tho knees, the trunk divided almost in twain and every bone in the body broken, At the place of the accident a railroad ok runs between the roasters and tho retorts with a narrow passuge way on one side of the track. Near the north end of the two buildings this spaco widens to about fifty feet on cither side of the track, and tha track itself ascends a sharp grade on a tre: tle, bringing the track on a lovel with tho upper story of the retort works. There were no eye witnesses of the affair, but the evidence of all who knew anything about the matter, and the indications in the snow under the cars before they had been moved, tell the story. Zaceviscky, who, in his capacity as labores s required to supply coke with a whee ow to the retorts, wenttoa shed n uster and, taking a wheelbarro 1 for the retort, walking up the track with the wheelbarrow in front of him. The passage alongside the track was wide enough for bim to have taken that way, but _he did not do so. He was very deaf and wore a heavy woolen ~ cap which was pulled down over his A long Union Pacific freight tra backing up the track, going in the same direy tion as” was Zaceviscky, with several cars loaded with coal for the smell “This train was in charge of H. L. Cassidy, who was standing on the second car from the rear of the train, the first car being a coal car, In the middle of the train was Brakeman Steve Maloney, and the engincer was M. Weir, Before Zaceviscky had gone twenty feet he was struck by the train aud pushed along several feet, when he fell down and was shoued along in front of tho train. He screamed for help and his cries attracted the attention of D. R. McDiarmid, a fireman in the retort works, who rushed otit_and sig- nalled to the brakeman in the middle of tho train tostop. The train was pushed four car lengths up the trestle before it came to a standstill, and in the meantime two cars Idaded with coal had passed over the un- fortunate man, dragging him_about one hun- dred feet and mangling him horribly. The wheelbarrow ~ was pushed in front of the train and was mashed and broken. The brakebeam of the rear car was splintered and the brake shoo had several locks of hair on it. Conductor Cassidy stated to a roporter for ik Bee that he was standing on_top of the first box car from the rear of the train, look- ing the direction the train was going, but did not sce tho victim. Zaceviscky was about forty-five years old, and lLived “with his wife in the vi- cinity of Boyd's packing house.

It Results in a Disastroiis Smash Up at Gilmore., An emigrant wagon containing a young woman and three boys was struck by a Union Pacitic passenger train at Gilmore at 6:45 o'clock Thursday evening with somewhat disastrous results, Two emigrant wagons, owned by John O'Dell, were waiting for a_freight train, which blocked tho crossing, to pull out. As the train_left, Mr. O'Dell, who was in the front wagon, drove across the track and dis- covered the approaching passenger traiu. His three boys and a daughter were in the rear wagon and Mr. O'Dell called to them to stop. The boy who was driving sa, he saw the approaching train aud heard tho engine bell vinging, but thought he could get across ahead of ' it. He made a mistake. ~The engine struck the wagon and completely demolished it, throwing its oc- cupants into the ditch, The boys, with boys' proverbial luck, escaped unburt, but Miss Mary O'Dell, the young lady, strick on her face and was severely brused. Dr. Galbraith, the Union Pacifio physician, attended her. Me. O'Dell was moving with his family from Florence to Nebraska City. His team was not hurt.

Bodden was & a cottage, and after tho inspection was muade he re- ceived a letter from the major nsking for the remittance of $4.50 a8 an inspection foe, In due time a receipt properly signed reached Mr. Bodden, but nothing in the inspector's oftice shows that he ever had the money, though his name attached to the receipt in dicates that he got it, as docs the check that he had cashed at the bank, On_September 1 Leo Buroch, who was erecting a dwelling for Frank Swoboda, met the major who, after explaining that ho was a city oMcial and in wh acity he served, demanded 8250, Buroch asked why the de- mand was made ana wasinformed that it was for the inspection of plumbing, The monoy was patd « ipt_taken, but nothing in h oftice shows that the monoy 1 through s hands. The McCague building at Fifteenth and ge streets was inspected in the early part vember; T, Sinhold's building on No- vember 4, and John L. Wilkic's building on the 11th of thesame month, but not a scrateh ofn pen in the oflico_shows that McCague paid and Wilkie $.50, though all hold receipts bearing tho iliar autograph. 0 a call was made at the fn- spector’s office and in response to the ques- tion as to whether or not the foregoing amounts had been paid, the major replied “Certainly, and I have the vouchers here, Hothen b a search througl a lotof en- velopes, but failing to find any record, stated $hat the plans and specifications had tot been returned, but was positive that the amounts had all been settled. Thursday a second visit was paid the in- spector, with a request to examine his books, The gentlcman aroso with his usual dignity and_said, “with pleasure; I am glad to ac- commodate the public.”” In conjunction with the major the ex- amination was made, but as mnone of the above amounts ‘were found ecredited to the city, the inspector settled back in his chair and fn a confidential manner said: I will tell you how thisis. There ave my books. They do not show the payment of any of the amounts, but I will explain how 1tis. When I am out in the city I frequently meet men who are owing inspection fees, and when they pay me I give them my personal receipt, intending to credit tho amount to the city when I reach the office, but in these instances the matter of crediting must havo slipped my memory.” Imost with the same breath the major switched off and smd: “This trouble all comes about on account of an inspector, John Bolan, who was discharged about the first of last December. As you know, £ keep a record of my inspections on these envelopes and when the fees are I mark tho date of payment and the amount on the face of :a slip and then when I got timo I make the entry m my book, sending a receipt to the owner of tho building, the duplicate to the comptroller and the origrinal is retained in my ofi “Bolun was mad at me and I knew that ho took this courseto make me trouble. He came to tho office and deliberately stole these cords, oping to show me up as an embez+ zler, I'have known this for some time, and as e had access to my ofiice, what surprises me is that he did not do more of this dirty work whilo he had a chance,” For somo time the major vented his wrath upon poor Bolan, and then quieting down, said: T will straighten this all out, as [ am at work on my aunual statement at this mo- meut, and if thero is any shortage I propose to make it good, as Iknow the money has been paid." Comptroller Goodrich, in speaking upon the subjectof the plumbing inspector’s fees, said : “I ‘have been trying for some time to'get a chance to check up aud settle with the major, but each time on the firstof the month ho pleads that he is very busy and thus the mat- ter goes over. Yesterday I got a look at his boolks and_checked up for September, Octo- ber and November, and in no place does his books show that any money was paid him by Freelind & Loomis, S. J. Boaden, Frank woboda, John L. Wilkie, Sinhold' or Mc- Cague. ““When these fees are paid to him he shouid at ouce send mea duplicate receipt, but in these cases he has absolutely failed to comply with the ordinances governing his office, “1 spoke to him about these fees being short and he said they had been paid but had been overiooked, ““In one place in his receipt book there is a lace whero eight receipts and the same num- cr of duplicates are torn out without any record appearing upon the stubs. “Ihave no doubt about his honesty, but T confess he has a peculiar style of conducting the affairs of his office.” trouble the ance. n the city ipts bookkeoper in major's A fo Rewilders the French Doctors, A, Jan, 9.—The committee of French physicians appointed to inquire into the Koch system of inoculation as a_cure for consump- tion reported today that the remedy was be- wildering to the cloverest physicians and that it would be better to await further perfecting of the system before adopting it. et ol PERSONAL FAKRAGRAPHS., 1.
