HORRORS OF THE BURNING
WRECK.
Conductor of the Stock Train
Under Arrest— The Engineer
Is Missing:.
NEWCASTLE. Colo., Sept. 10— The
wreck that occurred at 12:25 o'clock this
mornine on the joint track of the Denver
and Rio Grande and Midland railways,
one and a half miles west of this place,
was the worst in the his'.orv of Colorado.
After twelve hours' incessant work by the
wrecking crews in clear away the debris
and rescuing the bodies of those who
perished, it is yet impossible to secure
more than an estimate of the loss of lite,
and no: half those known to be dead have
been identified.
Many of the unfortunates never will be
known, and it is possible that the number
killed will always be in doubt. From the
best information obtainable now fully
thirty persons are believed to have per
ished, while eighteen were taken out of
the wrectr. suffering from serious injuries.
The wreck was caused by a head-end
coili-ion between a Denver and Rio
Grande passenger train, running at the
rate of 4 i mile- an hour, and a special Col
orado Midland stock train running at a
speed of probably 30 miles.
So terrible was the concussion that both
engines,' baggage and expresscars, smoker
and day coach and two stoctccars were to
tally demolished and the track torn up for
rods in both directions. To add to the
horror of the scene the wreckage at once
caught tire from an explosion of a Pintsch
pas tank on the passenger train and
burned so rapidly that many passengers
pinned beneath the debris were burned to
death before help could reach them.
The most generally accepted theory as
to the cause of the wreck seems to be that
Conductor Burbank of the Midland spe
cial, anticipating the time of the special,
undertook to "steal a station" and beat
the passenger into Newcastle. Burbank
escaped uninjured and, upon orders from
Coroner Clark, has been placed under ar
rest by the Sheriff.
The Midland engineer, Ostrander, is
mis ing, and a thorough search all abort;
bis engine fails to reveal his bones or any
vestige oi his remains. It is thought that
possibly when he saw tne threatened
danger he jumped from his engine and,
realizing his. negligence, took to the hills.
Mr. and Mrs. E. H. Strouse, who live
one-quarter of a mile from the scene of
the accident, report that when the two
trains mi the -hack was so great as to
literally hurl them out of bed. Some say
ihe noise was heard and the shock felt in
Newcastle.
The .lead as far as recognized are:
J. F. Keenan. mad agent of Denven.
Robert S. Holland, fireman Denver and
R-.o Grande, of Salida.
Mrs. Alexander Hartman and two sons
of rie-cuer. 111.
James Errick of Chicago.
Charles Leeper of Clarion, Pa.

ira n.
William Hints, fireman.

Knapp, -eg crushed; James B. Foley, cx
i ress messenger, bruised; William 8,
Mis*emer, express messenger, bruise
Trie case of Eng : neer O-trander of the
freight engine is still in doubt.
Charred fragments of limbs and bodies
of a number of persons have been taken
out of the ruins, but it is not likely that
more bodies will be positively identi
fied, and it seems certain that the number
kill d will always remain in doubt.
The Coroner found a shaving-mug with
the name "W. Nicholson" upon it, also a
gold watch with the name of F. C. Potter
engraved on the outside.
As soon as the news of the wreck
reached Glenwood a relief train was sent
from that place, and this afternoon the
more seriously wounded were sent io the
Denver and Rio Grande Company's
hospital at Salida.
General Su'-enntendent Sample of the
Denver and Rio Grande happened to be
in the vicinity of the disaster, and soon
reached the -cene, taking charge of the
work of removing the bodies.
Ten bo- 1 1«* were found in the ruins of
one car and four in another. Tne charred
remains oi two women, apparently clasped
in each other's arms, were found. Their
heads and lower limbs were burned off.
In the dress bosom of each was found a
lady's gold watch, noon one of which was
inscribed "From Mother to Mamie."
Telegrams from all parts oi the country
iniTdring for friends and relatives are
pouring in constantly. \ 5 *:
Frank P. Mannix, a newspaper man of
Victor, Colo., who was id the smoker and
aped with some painful bruises and
burn«, said to-day:
'Words cannot express the horror of
the scene. The crasa came unexpectedly.
Suddenly ail was darkness. The air was
filled with cinders, splinters and heated
gases. Then the flames darted up on
either side. Tn- scene was simply inde
scribable. The flames were in a sense a
c-cieend, for with their cid the windows
were located, even though passengers had
to jump through the flames."
The first man to arrive at the wreck was
E. H. Strouse, who resides on his ranch,
about 300 feet from the track. Mr. Strou*e
**as awakened by the collision. He hur
tied to the scene and assisted in rescuing
the passengers in the smoker and day
coach.
When he reached the wreck a few
minutes after the collision four of the cars
were all ablaze, and the heat was so ter
rific that it was impossible for any one to
get near them. In a few minutes he
thinks that at least fifteen to twenty per
sons were cremated.
J. G. Young, one of the survivors, says
he was in the smoker at the rear end
when trie collision took place.
The front end of the car and part of the
roof was thrown on him, pinning him
down in his seat, but he succeeded in free
ing him-elf and escaping through a win
dow with a few slight cuts on his head.
There were about twenty-five persons in
the smoker, and he does not think more
than eight got out alive, all of the re
mainder being cremated. As to the day
coach, immediately behind the smoker,
he think* there were from thirty to thir
ty-five in it, and to the best of his knowl
edge only two succeeded in making their
escape.
He says that all who were in the chair
car got out safely before the fire reached
it, also those in the two Pullmans.
Coroner Clark says that only ten bodies
have been taken from the burning wreck.
These, with Keenan, Holland, Hines and
Gordon, make fourteen in ail, but there is
no doubt that these are less than half of
those who perished.
The most conservative estimate places
the list of de <d at twenty-five to thirty
five. The remains of what are supposed
to be ten persons are confined in two
caskets. There is nothing to identify
them, and it is expected they will be
buried here to-morrow or Sunday.
Fred G. Rockwell, stock agent for the
Burlington, who was on the ill-fated
train, was seen by a reporter. He said :
"I had just left the sleeper in company
with a gentleman and passed through the
day coach into the next car. We had
barely seated ourselves in the smoking
compartment when we were hurled vio
lently from our seats by the shock of the
collision. We got out safeiv.
"A moment later^a terrific explosion of
gas rent the air and after it came a burst
of flame. After getting my bearings I
was horrified to discover that the smok
ing-car had ridden over the day coach,
cutting its way almost to the seats and
encasing the car in such a manner as to
shut off all hope of escape.
'•It was in tnis day coach where the
horrible harvest of death took place. I
procured an ax and with o'.her* managed
to chop through a window and tetout
two women and three men who were
badly hurt and another man who was
struggling to get his foot loose. He was
self-possessed, and told me he was not in
jured otherwise. He could not free him
self, and 1 was compelled to ;tand help
le*sly by and see him consumed by the
flames.
"The five that we rescued were the only
ones that could possibly have escaped
from the car. It was crowded with men,
women and children. I should say fully
thirty adults were cremated there, aside
from the children."
Conductor Hawthorne of the ill-fated
train does not place the loss of life at so
many as is generally supposed. On
checking up bis tickets, as nearly as he
can tell, eight were killed in the coaches.
ROMANCE OF HORSE HEAVEN.
Rivals in Love Fight a Duel After the
Object of 1 heir Affections
Commits Suicide.
PORTLAND. (Jr., Sept 10.-A dispatch
from North Yakima, Wash., this after
noon says: Coroner Taggard returned
from the Horse Heaven country yester
day, where he held an inquest on the body
of Clarinda Scritchtield, a handsome girl
of 16 year*, w:,o committed suicide on
fuesday*|because the course of true love
failed to run smoothly.
She was cooking for a threshing crew on
the farm of Hans Smith, where she was
being courted by two men employed there, •
She had a preference for one, but was not
disposed to relinquish the attentions ot
the other. This resulted in a quarrel be
tween the lovers, and when the estrange
ment took place she borrowed a revolver
irom one of the crew, making a plea
that she needed it for protection, and,
going to her tent, placed the muzzle to
ncr he_d and sent a bullet through her
brain. Death was instantaneous.
A later telegram says that after the
girl's death the two lover- repaired to a
point a mile distant from the tragic scene
purposing to spill their own blood over
the girl, who certainly must have been de
mented. They were prevented from so
doing by some other men, who followed
them, but not until two shots had been
exchanged without injury.
PREFERS' A CRUELTX CHARGE.
Mrs. Mary A. LountOou-.' Suit for Legal
Separation.
SAN JOSE Cat,, Sept. 10.— The divorce
suit of Mary A. Lounibous against James
G. Lounibous was called for trial before
Judge Kmredge this morning, but after
hearing some of the testimony it was in
definitely continued because of an insuf
ficiency of < vidence to sustain the charges
and in order to allow the piaintiff turt -er
time to produce proof. Mrs. Lounibous
charges her husband, who is a wholesale
liquor-dealer In San Francisco, with
cruelty and desertion. She de-ires half
of about $7000 worth of community prop
erty and $50 per month alimony.
Shortly after the divorce suit was com
menced Mrs. Lounibous sued J. Louni-
ins. her husband's father, to compel him
to convey to her a piece of property at El
Verano, which it is claimed the father-in*
law promised the plaintiff if she would re
turn to ncr husband when she once left
him on account of his cruelty. Mrs.
LouniDous returned to her husband, but
the deed was not forthcoming.

FEASTED UPON
POISONOUS FOOD
Two Men Die in Tor-
ture at a Nevada City
Wood Ranch.
George Kohler and One of His
Gues s Expire and Four
Others Are 111.
Neighbors Hint That They Were
Victims of an Enemy of the
Aged Proprietor.
NEVADA, Cal.. Sept, 10.— Two dead
| men and four who are slowly recovering
' from a severe sickness are the net result
I of eating the food served this week at
George Kohler's wood ranch on the Wash
ington road, eight miles above this city.
Kohler himself died there on Wednes
day, and his neighbors, who dropped in to
enliven the last hours 01 the old man,
voted him a victim of cholera morbus.
While they were caring for him and
i keeping vigil with his lifeless body they
partook freely of the supply of food on
j hand an i helped themselves to alcohol
j from the demijohn which Kohler always
kept handy.
Yesterday they were all seized by
i cramps and became partly blind, mani
festing the same symptoms that Kohler
bad in the earlier stages of his attack.
August Ambetg seemed to be in the
worst condition, and this morning he
I died in frightful agony. O. P. Davis, Sol
j Amberg, W. H. Wrisley and a son of Wil
| liam Giliett had spent the day there and
I they, too, were taken sick.
They tooK emetics aud found some re-
lief.
Sol Amberg started for this city afoot
■ and gave out on the way. He was taken
un by a passing wagon and brought to
town.
He says that the food partaken of con
sisted ot canned sardines, bread, peaches
preserved in alcohol, and tresu .run, and
that they drank some of the alcohol.
Sheriff Getchell and Coroner Hocking
went to the ranch to-day and made a
I thorough investigation. They interviewed
the neighbors and got samples of all the
eatables and the alcohol.
They fed a can of the, sardines to a cat,
I but the animal was not seriously affected
Iby the meat. They found a box of strych
: nine on a shelf, but the men around there
I said it was oniy us«d to poison gophers.
There are all sorts of stone* afloat
| amon: the people on t .c ridge and some
I of them hint at tbe likelihood of afoul
j crime having beer, committed.
They say that Kohier has been involved
in trouble over timber iands, and some of
: them try to connect his death and that of
' Ambers with that trouble.
Sheriff Getchell, upon his return to
night, said that he was almost as much in
j the dark then as when he started.
He says he has tound nothing so far to
show tbat a crime bas been committed,
I and that an analysis of the food and alco
j hoi may show a case of accidental poison-
I ing.
An inquest is to be held on Monday,
when a searching investigation of tbe
mystery will be made. There are many
who think that a cold-blooded plot to poi
-on old man Kohler, of which plot Am
berg and the others became unexpected
victims, will be developed.
PYLE'S 0 1 HER i TIFIES.
Brother of the Murdered Constable
Gives Strong Evidence Against
McCamish.
LOS ANGELES, Cai.., Sent. 10. — Al
; most the strongest evidence yet presented
■ against Ed McCamish, on trial for the
\ killing of Constable McCoy Pyle at Cas
i taic, was given to-day by Everett Pyle,
: brother of the murdered man. Everett
declares that there were powder marks
ion the face of his dead brother, This, if
i believed by tbe jury, would controvert
'. the assertion ot McCamish, that Pyle was
! shot by a tramp who was over ten feet dis
! tant, and would sub-tantiate the theot-r
' of the prosecution, that Pyle was killed
while he slept in the little station build
ing. In addition to this, Everett Pyle
: swears that his brother was in the habit
i of sleeping on his back, with his mouth
j open and lower jaw protruding, and that
j such was his position when he saw him
j dead, and before the corpse had been die
i turned. — -. .
The trial, which has been twice inter
rupted this week by holidays, was given a
', sensational tnrn to-day by the positive
statements of Everett Pyle, for if his testi
mony remains unshaken the pro-ecution
hopes for. a conviction. ££* r
The prosecution has not established be
yond doubt that there was improper inti
macy between the accused man and the
wife of the deceased, but there have been
witnesses to prove that McCamish has
talked in a way to cause suspicion of his
sentiments, and that be had. made state
ments intimating that Mrs. Pylo would
soon be a widow.
J. R. Jenkins, a member of the Cor
oner's jury, swore that McCamish told
him that Pyle was shot by one of the
tramp*, and specified the position of all
at the time of the alleged encounter. • On
cross-examination it developed that Jen
kins had once been convicted oi burglary.

PRESCOTT, Ariz., Sept. 10.— Word has

j Bruce in a light wagon. When in the
I middle of a creek which is ordinarily a
j dry wash, the horses lost their footing
(• and the wagon began to float. Harrington
' became alarmed and prepared to jump.
j The wagon was washed against a tree
j branch which Harrington seized as the
] wagon with Bruce turned over. Up to the
I time of the sendinu of the report neither

Trustees Must Provide Funds.
Some interesting law oj the question of pro
viding funds for school purposes was handed
down by ihe Supreme Court yesterday. The
trustees of the Cnico High School, who are
also the Board of Education of Butte County,
sought to compel the Board of Supervisors to
provide appropriations for the support of the
school, inasmuch as a portion of the county,
as well as the town itself, a city of the fifth
c. ss, was included in the school district.
Failing in this the board attempted to have
1 the Auditor include the item in the tax levy.
A writ of mandate was denied, which actio. i
I was approved by the Supreme Court.
The court held that the municipal law, sec
j tion 295, was amended in 1891 so that terri-
I tory added to a city school district shall be
j deemed a par' of the city and shall constitute
I a separate precinct for the purposes of school
! elections, "and the electors therein may vote
I for a Board o; Education, and snch out-lde
i territory shall be deemed a part of the city for
I all matters connected with the school depart
j ment."
Some law on Contracts.
The Supreme Court has decided tho long
draw h-out dispute between the Pacific Rolling
mills and W. D. English, A. C. I'aulsell and C.
O. Alexander, the former Board of Harbor
Commissioner.*, over the construction of sec
tion Bof the seawall against the mill com
pany. The contract for this section of the sea
wal. was let to J S. .Anto::elli, who, in turn,
let it to the San Francisco Contracting Com
pany under terras that provided fjr a reserve
of the price being held until the work was ac
cepted. The contracting company failed to
finish the job, assigning its claim to the roll
ing-mills. Ainoucili completed the work,
Assigning his claim for the guarantee to the
Kennedy & Shaw Lumber Company. The
rolling-mil. s brought suit to determine to
whom this reserve belonged and. were non
suited in the lower courts. The Supreme
Court sustains this decision.

STATE TAX RATE
NOW 51 CENTS
Equalizers Reduce More
Interior Counties and

Those Which Asked for No

Upon Them.
Black Ryan of Alameda Sends In
. an Appeal for the Southern
Pacific.
SACRAMENTO, Cal., Sept. 10.— The
State Board of Equalization finished its
labors to-day and the result is that it has
fixed, the State rate at 51 cents on each
$lCoof valuation, a raise of several cents
over the valuation set last year.
■When. the boara convened to-day a com
munication trom Assessor Berkey of Sac
ramento County was read, in which he
asked for a reduction of 10 per cent on
thai county's assessment, stating that his
reason for asking for the reduction was
that it would only be fair in consideration
ot what other interior counties had re
ceived. The request was granted. Ayes-
Arnold, Beamer, Colgan and Morehouse.
Noes Chesebrough.
Arnold then stated that he had tele
graphed to the Supervisors of Inyo, Mono
and Mariposa, asking if th-y desired a re
duction, and had received an answer to the
effect that the latter two counties did not,
but that Invo, like Barkis, "was willing,"
so that county was granted a 10 per cent
reduction, the ayes and noes being the
same.
Lake, Modoc and Sierra were then
granted a 15 percent reduction, and com
munications were read stating that Las
sen and Contra Costa counties were luliy
satisfied with their present assessment
and desired to be left alone.
During the deliberations of the board
President Morehouse received a telepnonic
message from E. Black Ryan asking if the
board would consider an application
for a reduction of 5 per cent on the
Southern Pacific Railroad assessment in
those counties through which the railroad
passed mat* had been granted reduc
tions. The matter was laid before the
board and Morehouse read that sec
tion of the code which declared
that such applications must be filed be
tween the first Monday in August and
the first Monday in September, and
pointed out that as the legal time had ex
pired no action could be taken. Black
was so informed and the board adjourned.
KILLED lit .. X EXPLOSION.
Unite County Min*r Mangled by Giant
Powder.
CHICO, Cai_. Sept. 10.— Word has
reached this city of a fatal explosion of
giant powder at 2 o'clock on Wednesday
afternoon on Bun Creek, forty-three miles
from here. T. B. Bennington, an old
miner 01. Butte County, had taken several
sticks of giant powder into a blacksmith
shop. A 2 o'clock a terrible report was
heard. The 13 year-old son of Benning
ton hurried to the :ceneof the explosion
to find the blacksmith shop blown to
atoms and the mangled body of his father
lying forty feet from the wrecked build
ing.
Bennington had always kept giant pow
der stored in a hollow oak tree some dis
tance from the cabin, but had taken sev
eral sticks of the explosive to the black
smith shop near the mine. He was aged
4§ years and leaves a widow and three
cuildren.

EXTRAORDINARY
NERVOUSNESS.
Blindfolded, Could Count Every
. Seam When Walking: Across
a Carpst.
From the Capital, fft&a ' i. Mb.
There is probably no one better known ln
Sedaaa, especially among the members of the
First Baptist Church, than Mrs. Moilie E. Roe,
wife ot Mr. Roe, the nurseryman, and nothing
is better known among the lady's acquain
tances than that ior the past four years she
has been a physical wreck from locomotor
ataxia, in its se'veres: lorm. That she tins re
cently recovered her health, strength and
normal locomotion has been made apparent
by her being seen frequently on the streets
and in church, and this fact indued a repre
sentative of the Capital to call on Mrs. Roe to
inquire Into the circumstances of her reinark
ab.e recovery. Mis. Roe was seen at her
house, at 'he corner of Ohio avenue and
Twenty-fourth street, and seemed only too
glad to give the following history of ncr case
for publication:
•'Four years ago," she said, "I was attacked
with a disease Which the physicians diagnosed
as locomotor ataxia, and I was speedily re
duced, to a mere wreck. I had no control of
my muscles, and could not lift the least
thing. My flesh disappeared until my bones
almost pierced my skin. The sense of touch
became so exquisitely sensitive that I believe
I cou d by walking over the softest carpet
blindfolded have counted every seam, so It
maybe imagined how I felt when trying to
move my uncontrollable limbs.
"ill.- most eminent physician* were con
sulted, but they gave me no relief, and I was
without hope and would have prayed .or
death but for the thought of leaving my little
children. All thought of recovery had gone,
a d it was only looked upon as a question ot
time by my hn-b-nd and mv friends when my
troubles would end in the grave.
"Ope day while in ibis condition, I received
a newspaper from some friends in Denver,
with a news item marked, and while reading
it my eyes fell upon an account of a remarka
ble cure 01 locomotor ataxia by the use of Dr.
Williams' Pink P.. ls for Pale People, ana the
case as described was exactly similar to my
own. lat once made up my mind to try the
remedy, and began according to directions to
take the pills. The first box had not gone
when I experienced a marked Improvement,
and as I continued I grew better and better,
until I was totally cured. 1 took about lour
boxes in ail, and after two years oi the most
bitter suffering was as well as I ever was.
Not only my feelings tut my appearance . un
derwent a change. I gained flesh, and though
now 43 years old, I feel like a young girl. You
can s.iv that Mrs. Roe owes her recovery to
Dr. Williams' Pink Pills, and that she knows
tnat there is nothing in the world like them.
(Signed) Mollie E. Roe."
