History
1863
**150th anniversary** Casey Jones, a railroad engineer who died
while trying to stop his passenger train from colliding with a stalled freight
train, was born in Missouri.
1903
**110th anniversary** The US Senate ratified the Hay-Herrán treaty between the
US and Columbia. The treaty would
have allowed the US to build a canal across the Panamanian isthmus, and to
lease a strip of land in perpetuity.
The treaty was never ratified by the Columbian congress.
