as broad and fiat as a pie-pan, trotted

‘•Sayl say! Your little boy has been
run over and killed, up to the City
Hall!”
“ Oh! oh! Heavens—oh! oh 1 ”
she screamed as she made a dive under
the counter, came up on the outside, and

seated Alfred Cunning.

FRIGHTFUL DISASTER.
A Bridge, Over a Creek, Undermined
by a Heary Storm,
Precipitates the Whole Train Down the Embank
ment Into the Water.
Lint of the Killed and Wounded m Far
hm Ascertained.
Des Moines, la., August 29.—Details
of a railroad accident on the C. R. I. and
P. railroad, at the east branch of Four
Mile creek, seven miles from this city,
are beginning to arrive.
The stream is generally quiet and
never lx*fore known to he as high as it
was made by the unprecedented rainfall
of the few days previous to the disaster.
The bridge rested on the stone arch 12
feet in the clear, by walls 5 feet thick,
and is approached from the east around
a curve and down a grade. It is believed
the rails were left standing alone, and as
the train approached, the engineer, who
had slackened his speed till ho came it
sight of the bridge, supposing that all
was right, dashed upon it. The channel
of the stream was 40 or 50 feet
wide, and the hanks about 20 feel
high. The locomotive landed at the foot
of the western sole and half buried it
self in the earth. Bamum’s ear, which
was next to the engine, dropped into the
channel. The baggage and mail ear fol
lowed and passed directly over it, mash-
I ing it to pieces hut going to the bottom,
' a bar of iron running clear through it.
The men in that car escaped alive. Even
lamps were not put out. The first jmi
senger car was pitched head down into
the channel where the water was at least
15 feet deep. The next ear plunged un
der this, telescoping with it*. and the
next telescoped ha.f through both of the
two preceding it. Tle sleeping ear did
i not go into tht wreck. It occupants
were jarred, hut none of them seriously.
| Most of the killed were in the car in
front of the sleeper.
THE DEAD.
At 6 o’clock seventeen bodies had been
taken from the wreck, fourteen men, two
women and one child. Among the
wounded is F. B. Baker, of Barnum’s
show. A man has since died, making
the known dead eighteen in all. A full
list of the dead is as follows;
Mrs. Emily Babcock, Andalusia, 111.
John K. Bolt and daughter, Boouesboro,
lowa.
M rs. Win. Crow, Des Moines.

Purcell, John Bruce, Charles Thompson,
A. Mack.
Two more bodies arc known to lie in
the wreck, one of Barn tin’s men and a
little girl, the daughter of Mrs. Crow,
one of the women killed. It is thought
by many that there are still others
either in the bottom of the wreck, or
have floated down the stream, but the
best posted foot up the total death roll
at twenty.

Murder-Blood Indelible.
St. Louis Dispatch.
There are a great many things in this
world that are regarded as superstitious
and of so vapid a nature as to be dis
credited, but the old saying that it is
impossible to wash murder-biood out of
wood is verified in the fact that the
blood stains on the floor where Mabel
Hall dropped after her murder at the
hands of Edgar Moore, at the Comique
Theatre, are still ingrained on the wal
nut paneling. Since the event of the
murder, the restaurant in which Mabel
was murdered, has been converted into a
barber shop, in connection with the
Comique. Every Saturday morning the
floor of the shop is scrubbed, but the
blood of Mabel will not wash out. The
spots are ingrained and though perfectly
sleek from attempts to rub them out
they stand there to remind one of the
cold-blooded murder which startled the
community at the time of its perpetra
tion. Here is a question for theorists,
and if it can be determined that the
blood of a murdered person is indelible
while that of ft simple wound from **
cldcnlal causes is not, m further prnqjk
n t Divine curses will be needed. The
above
