Swan Gustavson , a single man and a car-
pc'itor employed at the Klkhorn's now
round house , met with n shocking and fatal
accident at 0:10 : yesterday morning on the
Vnlon Pacific tracks at K street.
Tom Toy , a young man living at Twenty-
seventh and IJupont streets in Omaha , was
on his way to this city and was following
the tracks. Just as ho ncarcd 1C street ho
aw something which appeared llko a
shadow Hash up Into the air directly
in front of n lanro switch engine
ns It went whlzjlng p.ist the crossing.
His Impression was that it was a man , but
the light was so dim that ho could not dis-
thiKUlsh anything dellnltc. The switch
tnglilo was going north and did not slop.
Mr. Toy went a little further when ho saw
\\haiappoarcdtoho a pile of waste lying
by the track. Thinking this was what ho
saw going up Into the air ho turned It over.
Mixed up In a mass of torn clothing uere the
mangled remains of a man. Fifty feet fur
ther on ho found the head. Death had been
Instantaneous.
The unfortunate man was only a little dis
tance from home , and was on his way to
work , as the coffee In his dinner bucket was
still warm. Both arms wcro completely
severed and broken and the boily from the
thighs up was mashed to a pulp. The llvor
was torn fron. the body and was picked up
twenty-live feet from the head. The limbs
\\urotnlBtodand broken. The head was
Bovorril as smoothly as though It had been
done with a sharp Unite , and the expression
on the fnco was unchanged and perfectly
natural. 'ITorq was not a scratch or brulso
on the face or head.
Mr. Toy hastened to the station to give
the alarm. Coroner Maul was notified and
gave instructions to Undertaker Brewer to
remove the remains to his morgue.
A great many persons viewed the ghastly
remains at the morgue , but no ono rccog-
nl7L'd the victim until last evening.
Some of the railroad men are of the
opinion that the man was knocked down and
killed by a switch engine and then run over
by a freight train afterwards. The morning
was foggy and it was perhaps on this ac
count the victim did not see the engine that
killed him. The strange part of the killing
Is that the engineer did not know of the ac
cident. An inquest will ho held at 0 o'clock
this morning. Gustavson was about DO
years old.

Mrs. Ituilliciir'H Victim lllcd of Ills In-
Jnrli-n I'unonil Arrungpinont' ) .
At an early hour yesterday morning Henry
Uciscr , the young man who was shot In
Bouth Omaha by Mrs. Elols Kudlgcr , died at
the Presbyterian hospital m Omaha.
The remains were removed atoncotothc
morgue. At the time of the shooting it was
thought that Hciscr could not live twenty-
four hours , but though the physicians had
no hopes of recovery they did all they could
to prolong the patient's life and he lived just
seven weeks ,
Coroner Maul had a postmortem held on
the remains yesterday forenoon and at 2
o'clock today an inquest will bo held.
The remains of Holsor were brought to
Bouth Omaha last evening and turned over
to Undertakers Brewer and Sloan. Some
time npo Mr. Uciscr sent for Mr. Sloan and
gave him detailed instructions in regard to
lion and where ho wished to bo buried. Ho
iiskiul that ho bo buried in the Albright-cem
etery and described i.ibont what sort of
caskct'ho perforred. Ho also wished to bo
buried on Sunday if such a thing was possl
bio and wished to have the funeral con
ducted from the Presbyterian church in this
city.
city.All
All of his requests will bo grantcU.as
nearly as possible. Mr. Sloan is a member
of the 1 toyal Arcanum and the funeral will
bo conducted under the auspices of that
order.
Mr. Reiser stated to Mr. Sloan that ho hart
left an itemized account of ail his indebted
ness for his cousin , whom ho requested to
pay with the Insurance money that will
c'omo from the Royal Arcanum. The bal
ance ) io has willed shall go to his father.
According to this statement the woman in
Illinois who hab been writing that she uus
Kelsor's xvjfo will get loft. Heiser pro
claimed to the last that ho was never mar
ried to any woman. The man had suffered
untold agony lor the last seven weeks. He
had rcali/.rd all the time that lie could never
pet well and talked chcerlully of death.
Attorney liaylcss , who with Attorney Es-
tcllo has been employed to defend the
woman ulio tired the fatal shot , went to
Omaha yesterday to counsel with Es
trllc and his client. The charge will now bo
changed to ono more serious.

ington Mr. Ciiiioyor'n statement.
Surveyor of the Port Alexander was not
perceptibly disturbed by the Washington
dispatch in the papers yesterday which stated
that his oftlcial decapitation hnd been an
nounced. Tills ho considers a nioro formal
ity which has r.o further significance than
that his resignation will bo demanded at the
end of the year when his term expires.
Mr. Alexander docs not consider as author
itative the Btau'inr.nt that James McShann
will stop into his ofllcial hlioos. Ho believes
that the identity of the next occupant of the
ofllco is still a matter of conjecture and that
no one lias as yet a cinch on the appoint
ment.
Mr. Charles Conoycr In speaking of the
reports from Wn.snington salu that ho know
nothing of the plan to prelcr charges against
Postmaster Clnrkson "Senator Mandcrson
is mistaken , however , " said Mr. Cono.vor ,
"In Ills statement that Mr. Clarkson's pre
decessor was allowed to servo the full four
years of his commission. Tlio fact is that
Con Gallagher served less than thrco years.
Ho was appointed on January 18 , 18SS , and
his term would have expired on January 18 ,
ISIW , but his resignation was asked for ,
through Senator Mandurson's efforts , and
Major Clarkson was appointed to succeed
him on October OS , Ib'JO , when ho had served
but two years and nine months , instead of
four years , as stated by Senator Mandcr
son. "

Ilutcliinsou recently Htted'up the city hall

machines. They were put in on trial , anil in
ease they proved satisfactory ho was to re

uinco was delivered to Mayor Bemls for his
approval. 1'lie books containing the war

the claims in tlio ordinance uere also in the

10 hiui no objection , but when he came
across thu'Iiutuhlnson warrant in the city
Kill fund he hesitated and did not sign it.
The books were returned to Comptroller
.Msen , and from his ofllco the warrants were
issued. It was not observed tliat the
llutchinson warrant was not signed and
when tliat gentleman called for the tame
yesterday afternoon it was delivered to him.
Nlr. llutchinson accepted the warrant.signed
for the same and presented it to tlio city

issued 10 the manufactuicr of smoke con

covered that Mayor Bemis had not signed

Just how it will all end is n question.
Payment upon the check has been stopped ,
