AN AWFUL AND SUDDEN DEATH- Tfinlr n ! lc Frightfully Criinhcd nnd l > y a Missouri PneHlo Train Another Alan Se riously Injured. Mnticlcd By thu Onrn. A sudden ( ihrlck of the locomotlvo whistle , a BlckcLlnrr cnmchlng of wheats , and the mangled remains of Charles Dougherty and Ed Cntlnhnn lay bleeding on the track of the Missouri 1'jxclDo on the Sixteenth street crossing near the fair grounds. The fatal accident occurred nt 2:80 : a. in. yesterday nnd vnw witnessed only by Pat Poworsnnd Pete Gannon , engineer ana flro- man otcnclno No. U77of the transfer train used In running to and from the stock yards. The loromotlvo was uttucluxl v > cnhoosu No. 14 , and at the tilno was bouim for West Sldo. Sldo.When When Dougherty and Cnllnhan were first seen , It K snld , llioy 'wcro Ruullllng on the trade only ten feat in front of the train. Jungtticor Powers itnmcdlatuly R.IVO tlio Whistlu of alarm nnd reversed the engines , but both were without avail. llio engine- was running at the mto of eight miles nn hour at the time , nnd the < \vo men who wcro wrestling nc.ir tha tracK suddenly fell on the road-bed , apparently obhvlou * of the approaching preaching train , nnd wcro crushed to death. 'Ilia train was stopped as soon as possible and Sam Deems , the conductor , notified the coroner of Uio accident. The men were found to bo horribly , mangled , both having their heads crut-'icd and their bodies nnd Icps frightfully laccr * atod. Even the coroner , who is accustomed to such sight ? , was sickened nnd was unable to attend to business the rest of the day. The bodies were brought to the niorcuo and an inquest \yns noli ) , the only witnesses being the engineer and llrcman mentioned , the vordlut bolng that the deceased came to their dcatli through their own carelessness. At Jlrst nothing could bo learned as to who the deceased men wcro , but later in the day they were identified as Charles Dougherty and Ed Calluhnn , both nf whom nro employ ed by the waterworks company at Florence. Dougherty had but 10 cents on his person , but as ha was a member in good standing of the A. O , U. W. , the members of that onrnn- izution will see that ho receives a decant burial. Cailahan had about S 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 thnro was a third person hurt , when James McElrov was picked up near the track bleeding and stunned. His Injuries were confined mainly to his head , but lie was unable to gwo nn account of the accident except that ho was on his way home attno time , it is suppled that ho was the first one struck by the locomotive , and that ho was thrown by the cow-catcher into the wecda while the attention of the engineer nnd tlrcman was directed olsowhoro. His injuries nro not thought to he fatal. Ho wrm taken to St. Joseph's hospital , wJioro ho now lies. , A lien reporter saw MuEIroy at St. Joseph's hospital , but was unable to draw any information from htm. Ho says ho re members nothing except that ho nnd the other two men had been down town drinking ing- and started up the track to go homo. Ho doesn't remember being struck and cun re member nothing afterward. It has been learned that ono of the man hod a letter on his person dated "Phila delphia. Octobers , lbJ3 ( , " and signed "Your loving sister. " Conductor Deems says that when ho reached the mangled men ho discovered that ono of them was breathing. Ho at once ran to the drag store at the corner of Six teenth nnd Lccust streets to summon a physician. The druggist refused to let him use his telephone without the payment of a quarter. Dcoma told him ho had no quarter , but would pay him later. The bellicose druggist refused to give him credit , and ho was iint able to find another "phono in the neighborhood. AVrcnohcd Ills Itaolc. How many mon given to heavy labor jro through life with a kind of hitch in ttio back bone , caused by wrenching at some period in their younger days. Let all such take heed from the following letter : C. U. Uoiitloy , Lyndonvlllo , Orleans county , N. Y. , writes : "Somo years ago , while loading sheep on the railroad , I wrenched my back. I was couilncd to my oed for four weeks , being partially paralyzed. As I could get no ro- Hof I put on my spluo three ALLCOCK'S PLAS- TEiia from the small of my back up between my shoulders. From that day I suffered less pain and began to got bettor. I put fresh plasters on every ten days , and In a month I was well und attending to my business. " DEATH BY ELECTRICITY. " \Vhnt n Professor nt Johns Jlopklna University Una to Say. Prof. William H. Howell , Ph. D. , of Johns llonkins university , Baltimore , in apcnking of execution by electricity , eaya : "Anybody who hna been unfortunate enough to Imvo a very strong electric current pnsa througii his system must suffer paralysis of some or nil of the nerve centers. This nmy bo temporary r may bo permanent. If the pamlyhis docs not iilTeot the vitnl parts of the human mechanism , the patient may live. And cases are not rare of partial paralybis of the brain and spinal cord , impairing the subject's usefulness en tirely or in part during life. A largo part of the brain proper may thus bo affcctoJ , and yet life not bo extin guished. "In the lower animals large portions of the brain have boon removed with out destroying life. There have been no experiments made to ascertain how an olcctrio ahodk stops the lifo pro cesses. It must , however , destroy the nerve contro controlling respiration or that controlling the action of the heart , or act on both. These nerve centres are situated hi the medulla oblougata , which is in the base of the brain at the top of the spinal 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 moro on how the current pabscs through his body. "In the cases of the menlo escaped the death which mot so many others who have handled electric light wires , the current cannot possibly 1mve reached the vital spot with undi- minishcd strength. The ends of the wire handled were partly insulated , and thus in most cases It is probable thnt only a part passed through the sys tem. Even tins current , before it roaches the medulla , must pass through the hands , arms , and spinal cord , nnd therefore bo largely distributed through the body and diminish in intensity. "Tho descriptions of the apparatus in the inllictiou of the penalty which the Now York criminal is to suffer show that there is little possibility of his es caping almost Instantaneous death. Ills head Is to bo invested ia a motalio cap , nnd the Ml strength of a very strong current sent directly through the nerve centers controlling the inqobanism ol Ufa. These must bo immediately para lyzed , and the boat of the heart as well as the breathing cease. The brain muai also bo entirely paralyzed at once and coiibuiousaess lost. Experiments have boon made already with apparatus in tbo Auburn priton on very large nni- mala , and the death was in uvory in- Blanco painless and immediate. "It has boon stated in this connection that ono part of the human body may die while the rest lives on and per/Tint Its normal /unctions. The physiologist distinguishes between somatic death thnt is , death of a parson as n whole and cellular disintegration. Ono may happen without the other , though na turally to a-very limited extent. Dur ing the lifo of the individual dlsonso may interfere with the Ufa process in various parts of the body , or paralysis may cause them to become useless. On the other hrtnd , after the death of the individual , it can easily bo proved that the cellular organization of the muscled in still intact , that the inuselu ia still alive , because many hours after the beat of the heart has ceased the passage of an olcctrio cur rent through a muscle will make it con tract in thu usual manner. Blood cor puscles nro said to live nt least twenty- four hours aitor tha blood has ceased to flow. And many well-substantiated cases are on record of the board and hair growing long after the body lias bean interred. But this has no connec tion with the interference with the nor mal processes of Itlo the regular breathing of the lungs and the pumpIng - Ing of blood into the circulatory system. VVlion these cease , dissolution , death , fsotB in , somatic death it is called in physiology , departure of the soul in oligiou. "The most serious matter , how ever n thu thrco modern modes of inflicting the death penalty is not tha suttoringa of the criminal at thu supreme moment , but the muntal tortures no must under go in the preparations for the death and the unnecessary amount of acquaint ance ho has with thorn for days in ad vance. But even this id 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 nmy bo regarded as a ne cessity for some low creatures as the only deterring influence. There la no possible excuse for the exhibition of the liorriblo details or the publication of the same In the public press.

On Tuesday last a young man and a boy were about the streets peddling fans prettily made out of wood , says the Hollistor ( California ) Free Lance. George Austin watched them and told D. L. Dunham he thought the boy was n. girl. On Wednesday afternoon the boy came to Mr. Dunham's tailor shop to see about a coat. Dave offered meas ure him , but the boy objected. Dave insisted , and in measuring the boy found substantial indications that made him believe ho was no boy , but a very well-built woman. Ho told the marshal the result of his investigations , and the marshal invited the boy to his olllco , and there , strange to say , ho was con vinced that the boy was a woman and deserving of arrest for masquerading in boy's clothes. She was taken to jail , whore she was visited by several kindhearted - 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 bo given a homo in some kind family. When her companion , who stated ho had boon tramping with her for a month , was totd that she was indeed a woman , his surprise apparently was boundless ; he indignantly denied that she was a woman , but declared she was a boy. Ho was arrested on suspicion , but as no charge could bo made againt him he was allowed to go on the prom ise of leaving town immediately , which ho did after leaving some money for the girl.Sho She claims to bo a resident of Lin coln , Nob. , and to have worn boys' clothes for six months without detec tion. She left Nebraska in company with another girl in mala attire , but they parted company at Cheyenne. When arrested she claimed to bo a brother of her companion , whose name was Spencer. Ho afterwards said his name- was Steward. She finally nc- _ knowlodged her muno to bo Mary Wil liams. In appearance she is about flvo feet three inches in height , a decided bru nette , carle hair , well formed , und weighs 123 pounds. She is eighteen years of ago. Walter Brothers , of Waltorsburg.

When a party of mon travel about the country on railroad passes , loudly pro claiming that they are editors or journ alists , it is pretty safe to say that they are dead beats. Says the Pittsburgh Dispatch : In citicj such mon tire usu ally culled free lunch llonds , or simply beats. Their connection with the press is generally confined to borrowing quarters from Dnewspapor mon. It is pleasant , therefore , to hear of the sorry discomiituro of a gang calling itself the Ohio editorial excursion , which started on a trip through tiio south a week or two ago. The party consisted of fourteen - teen journalists'about a hundred un specified anomalies , and ono newspaper man probably a very young ono. At first the Ohio editorial excursion ists , on the strength of their title , were received and entertained royally wherever they wont. But gradually fi leaked out tlmt there was not an editor in the party , and they got , instead ol free hack rides , speeches and banquets , a decided cold shoulder whan they reached Atlanta. They had difficulty in getting out of the frigid region after their identity was established , for the railroad mon lifted the parses. Wo regret grot that wo cannot certainly say that none of the crow reached homo.

HIS WATCH AND MONEY GONE. \Vonmls Apparently Indicted by n 'llliulffcon Fan nil on Ills Jlcnd nnd N * ok CovcrliiK Up n Crime. A RlyfitorloiiH Affair. Edward Williams , a private In Company O , Second infantry , was found dead and horribly ribly mangled on the Fremont , Elkhorn & Missouri Vnlloy tracks In the Immediate vi cinity of Fort Omaha nt 11:30 : o'clock Wed nesday night. Michael McCarthy , n member ot the sumo company , wai returning to the post from Central park , n point situated about one-half milo fmm the fort , nnd In walking along the ElUliorn tracks ho stum bled over nu obstacle. Ho instituted nn In vestigation , nnd In groping uround in the durk his hand cnnio lu contact with the head of n human being. Mc Carthy was frightened , and ran to the company's quarters nnd informed his comrades that the body of n man was lying on the track. Suvornl members of the company repaired to the spot , nnd , with the nld of n lantern , Idcntillcd the remains as these of Ed ward Williams , n member of their company. The coroner wns notified , but owing to the report being thought to bo the snmo ono on tha Holt line , the ofileiul ovor- lookcd It , and was not aware that an accident had actually occurred on the Ellt horn until Sergeant Cole , from Fort Omaha , reported the matter personally yesterday morning. Upon the request of the authorities nt the fort Coroner Liroxol authorized the removal of the remains from the scene of tlio accident .o the federal hospital. This was uono early yesterday morning , und a wore badly laear- ited corpse wns perhaps never witnessed , The arms and lower limbs were severed 'rom the body and ground Into n pulp. The trunk wns torn to atoms , the intestines mid bones being strewn for n distunco nf 300 feet. The clothes were torn into shreils. Was ho murdered and then thrown on tlio .ruck in order that the crime migbt bo xvipod : rom suspicion I This Is what suggested tseif to the minds of those who gave the accident n second thought. A. reporter visited the scone ycstcr.luv iftcrnoou , when It wns learned that Wll- iums had been at Purtoll's beer garden Wednesday night and imbibed quite freely. The bartender , Abe Glllon. stated that ho saw him between 10 nnd 11 o'clock that evening , nnd that , while ho had been Indulging dulging- some , ho was comparatively bober. "Williams , " he said , "came In und gnl u Bucket of boor , and then wont out and sat lown hi the garden and drank it. I do not remember who was with him , bt't ho was talking to several people during the evening. EIo had mnnej , but I do not know how much. Private Dodpett , of Company E , told mo to-ilay thnt Williams had over 570 with Hint. [ did not sec him after ho got the bucket of jeer nnd went Into the garden. " A mcmbei of Company G staled that an other member of his company , whoso name 10 would not divulge , saw \Villlams leave ; ho garden about 10.31) ) o'clock , and tlio alter stated that he xvas going to Ccntr il lark. Ho proceeded up Thirtieth street intll the tr.iclts were reached , and he th'on walked along the tracks. About half an aour later a west bound treight tr.iin thun dered along. Williams showed no signs of ntoxlcation , nnd had amplp time to reach His destination before the train came along. At the point on the road where the body was found the grade ia about twenty feet , and is a very lonesome and seldom fre quented spot , aside from it' being a pathway : o a disreputable place in'Omaha Heights. The blood stains and particles of llesh on the .rack indicated that the body was run down about three hundred ana fifty yards from the crossing by the train , nnd was dragged along under the wheels. The fact that both rails wore smeared with blood and flesh , nnd the body so badly xjrn , led to the belief that the deceased was jciitcn into insensibility and then laid croas- wise of the track. A reporter called at the headquarters of Dr. Hasklns , junior surgeon of the post. The doctor stated that ho had not closely examined the remains , but \vas of the opinion that all the marks nnd cuts on the body and head wore or might bo made by the tram. He declined to state his opinion us as to foul play. The reporter next visited the hospital , where he was shown the remains. Aside fiom the body being terribly lacerated , the head gave evidence of having undergone violence. The scalp was cut In flvo places , e.ich wound ap pearing to have resulted from the blow of an instrument , possibly a coupling pin. These cuts were about two inches in length , and receded from the forehead backward and were about an inch apart. Tno forehead , In the immedlato vicinity of the eyes , was bruised. These wounds being confined to the scalp , leads friends of the deceased to believe that they were made by a bludgeon or some heavy weapon , mid thnt the injuries on the head wore not brougnt about by coming in contact witn any portion of the tram. However , the , sum of inonoy ami n silver watch and n gold chain which Wil liams was known to have on his peraon at the time ho reached the tracks , nbout forty minutes before his body was found , were missing , a matter which has led his friends to form the conclusion that ho was waylaid und robbed , und his body then placed on the tracks by his assailants , who evidently know that it was nbout train time , nnd who thought that their dastardly deed would bo curtained in this way. A couple of sus picious characters who were seen with Wil liams during the evening , ami who know that ho hud money on his person , are being closely watched , but no arrects have been made , neither will there bo until an inquest is hold this morning , nt which time hopes nro entertained of clear ing up the mystery. Williams wns ubout tnlrty-fivo years of nso and wns transferred hero from Fort Nlo- brara about two years ngo with Company Q. Ho leaves a wife residing at Fort , Spokane , and Ills parents reside In Albany , N. Y. The deceased was moro or less addicted to strong drink , but was seldom scon under Iks in fluence. It was through his carelessness that Private Hughes won shot at Fort Omahu about ono year ago , ho falling to unload his musket , which , fulling Into the hunds of Hughes , was discharged , the latter receiving the entire contents in his ubdomcu , Williams was a favorite mnoni ; the members - bors of Company G , all of whom lament his sad death , and express determination to have the exact circumstances which led to his dnath made known. Inquiry concerning the accident was made at the headquarters of the Elkhorn , but the oflicials stated that they bad received no re port from the trainmen. This also supports the theory of murder , as the ofllclals are of the opinion that the trainmen would hnvo in all probability discovered Williams hud ho been standing erect on the truck , and in such an event a report would necessarily hnvo been made. The absence- the money and watch , together with the uaturo of the wounds on tbo head , is the basis upon which the friends of Williams rest their theory of murder. An Absoluti ) Curt ; .

NEW YORK LIFE BUILDING , The Great Structure Inspected by the Public , ITS HALLS , ROOMS AND MARBLE' How It Is Lighted , Itontcd nnd Sup plied AVitli tlio Accommodations "Which Modern Inventive Gonliin Has Designed. Brick , Granite. Mnrhlr. The Now York Lifo Insurance company's elegant now building on Seventeenth nnd Parnam was thrown open to the public yes terday , nnd all day long great crowds of sightseer * were wandering- about the build ing and standing on the .roof , viewing the city and surrounding country. The Now York Life building Is ono of the tallest buildings west of the Mississippi , nnd from Its great height nn excellent view can bo ob tained. The building , while still unfinished , pre sents a flno appearance nnd does credit to lt owners , it * projectors and its builders , and ninny were the words of prniso uttered yes terday by thoio who were visiting it and in specting its beauty nnd elegance. Tha most striking feature of the building is the entrance nnd rotunda. The visitor passes llrst between two magnificent pillars of Norfolk pink granita into the vestibule. The floor of this is of Lake Chnniplain mar- bio , while the lofty walls contain several course * of Tennessee und French marble beautifully arranged. The ceiling is a fret work of cold and silver. 1'nsslng inward notncun two highly polished pillars of Lake Chatnplaln marble , the visitor enters n beautiful corridor of Italian murbln loading to the rotunda. Here ho stands under a dome of ornamental bronzed iron and pol ished plato glass , supported uy six columns of Maine gr.mito. There is a lloor of Now York bine1 ; , French nnd Italian marble. The Seventeenth street entrance also opens into this rotunda tnrough u corridor of Italian marble. The view from the tower can easily bo imagined. There Is no obstruction except thn Mori/on , nnd tlio jumbla of waving trees , brick walls , glistening spires und domes , long , straight , sti cots with their kaleidoscopic scones , uru of unfailing interest. This Is really the fourteenth storv from the street , and the vloltor can almost Imagine himself llo.itiug in midair In a b.iloon. Descending a winding stairway , the visitor comes to the twelfth story , where are located elevator tanks and an exit to tlio main roof of thu building , whiu'i ' is or brick. On the tenth Hour is u barber shop , the walls , ceiling and lloor of Italian marble , und containing two beautiful porcobibi bath tubs , which cost about $ ; IU a piece. In thu north west corner of the uamo lloor it the library , with lour connected reading rooms , all well lighted and furnished with easy chairs. 'Ihuro nro 7DUO volumes on the shelves. Further over to thu noith end of the lloor ivro the closets and toilet rooms for the build ing , all oi nmrbla and Got man silver. The light lu're is not quite so good as on the lower doors , thougn the windows are larger than they nnpuar from the outslac. The Ecvunth. eighth and ninth floors are similar in design , consisting of tiers of wcll- liphtcd and vcntil.ttcd offices opuninc into two north and south corridors through the wings , which are connected bv a spacious hall containing the elevator nnd grand stair way.
