Engineer Magner left the hospital ,
Sunday evening , and went to his home ,
where he is getting along nicely. His
friends congratulate him on his well-nigh
miraculous escape and wish for his rapid
and complete recover- .
The remains of engine 210 , the bag
gage and three stock cars involved in the
Cody wreck , were hauled into this sta
tion , Sunday afternoon. When one con
templates the rains of 210 , the beholder
naturally wonders how a human being
could go through such a wreck and es
cape a horrible death. It approaches the
miraculous. The engine is a scrap heap
and the cars not much better.
It is reported that the St. Francis
branch is to change time again soon and
go back to the old method , i. e. three
crews with one day lay-off here between
runs. It is the unanimous opinion , of
the railroad boys that this service would
suit them better. The present run is
very steady. In fact , it is almost con
tinuous and they would sooner draw
smaller checks and have more lay-off than
to run as at present. Republican City

Engineer Charles H. Seymour and
wife of Wymore were both drowned in
the Blue river , last Friday afternoon.
They went in bathing. She was an ex
pert swimmer. He was not and besides
was subject to cramps. It is supposed
that he was taken with a cramp , that she
went to his rescue , and that both were
drowned. The bodies were not found
until about six o'clock on Saturday af
ternoon. He was to have gone out on
Burlington No. 15 , Friday afternoon. He
was an old employe of the company and
quite prominent in politics. The funeral
took place on Sunday.

Killed By an Explosion.
New Bedford , Mass. , July 5. Henry
B. Stone , formerly vice-president of the
Chicago. Burlington & Quincy.and presi
dent of the Chicago Telephone company ,
was instantly killed at Nonquitt , this
morning , by an explosion of fireworks.
Mr. Stone , with his family and other
summer residents of Nonquitt , was cele
brating the holiday with a handsome
display of day fireworks. Among them
was a mine , which was so devised as to
scatter paper animals of various colors.
Mr. Stone had applied the torch to this
piece , but for some reason it did not ap
pear as if the spark was going to reach
the mine. Mr. Stone advanced and took
the piece up in his hands , when it ex-
exploded , striking him full in the face.
His features were badly mutilated and
he sustained a compound fracture of the
skull.
He leaves a widow and four children.
He has been contemplating a trip to Eu
rope in the course of a few weeks. His
remains will be sent to Chicago for in
terment. State Journal.

B. & M. Homeseekers' Excursions.
Chicago , July 6. The Burlington to
day announced that from now until the
1st of November it will run two home- {
seekers' excursions every month. The '
running of these excursions has for a <
long time been a prolific source of demoralization - {
moralization in rates and many of the
roads have tried to have them done away
with altogether. No definite agreement
has been in existence and this has tended {
still more to demoralize the rates. The <
Burlington , in order to settle the matter 4
and get it on a definite basis , announced
that it will run the excursions as an
nounced above. [ The first excursion ar
rived in our city , Wednesday night. *
