S. P. Accident In Arizona.
A serious accident occurred last
niyht near tluachuca siding, to Engin
eer Tommy Cleveland, who was taking
the north bound train to Benson. One
of the side rods of the engine wrenched
loose and flyinsr around like a flail,
mashed the cab and broke a steam
pipe which allo-ved the steam to e
capc, "killing" the engine. The V l
dette says Kngineer Cleveland was
considerably bruised and badly scalded
on the foot by the escaping steam. Dr.
Chonoweth left on another engine
about 2 o'clock this morniner to take
care of the sufferer. Prospector.
The Central Presbyterian church of
Denver, one of the largest and most
t iluential Presbyterian churches in
the west, has called to its vacant pulpit
Kev. George F. Pentecost of London,
England, at a salary of $5000 a year.
vlr. Pentecost is thinking the matter
over, i he central church had a learn
ed preacher in Rev. Dr. Freeman, but
he was a. together too cold and aristo
cratic for a successful preacher, and
his views on danei-g and card plating
savored more of Ward McAllister than
of John Knox. In reports of big balls,
the Denver papers were wont to add.
"and Kev. Dr. and Mrs. Freeman look
ed on from the gallery." Christian
people are becoming more and more
strict in such matters, and claim that
indulgence means a loss of spirituality ;
that in a minister especially means
loss of influence that is fatal. Dr.
Freeman would do better as professor
of church history or of Christian ethics
in a theological seminary, than as a
pastor.
A wicked exchange says that in a
certain town in Utah a woman has a
husband who is in the habit of coming
home tipsy ut night, and she decided
to frighten him for a cure. The
other night she arrayed herself in a
frightful apparel and. as the boozy
husband entered the door, she said in
dry, sepulchral tones: "Come with
me; I am the devil." "Zat so?" said
the husba-d, "Shake! I'm your
brother-in-law: m-m-married your
sister."
Ayer's Pills, being eorupord of the

(Vetting in Tlieir Work.
The MeGinty band started in last
night on its new series of semi-weekly
rehearsals, and the next practice comes
Friday night. This is something a
number of the boys have been hoping
for and working for this many a day,
and they are very much gratified to
lied the management of the band has
been able to so arrange matters so as
to bring about this new and desired
"order of exercises As has been
noted, the practices for the next sixty
days will be mainly for the harmony
instruments, and the experience of last
night showed the wisdom of this, for
defects were brought out that the
conductor can remedy as he could not
do were the entire ensemble together.
The entire evening was given up to
curing more finished work on the
overture to Semiramede, and to getting
a start on Liszt s second Hunga
rian rhapsody, and next Friday night
will be occupied on the same wortc.
Conductor Pitzer has resolved to stay
right with these two compositions until
the boys learn them, which is indeed
the proper caper.
Fear was expressed, as to the Khap-
sody, that the Abbe Liszt would turn
a back summersault in his crave couia
he hear how his favorite work was be
ing dished up: in fact, Prof. Pitzer
thought he could hear the rust!e of the
great musician's shroua in the doorway
as though intent on annihilating the
entire band. 13ut it was only Pres.
Keckhart and Jimmy Watts coming in
from their latest astronomical studies
at August Meisel's, aud neither of
these two are over and above etherial
or ghost like in their make up. The
boys got started well on the Rhapsody,
and a little application will enable
them to "go it" all right. They have
a whole lot of tine music in their libra
ry, and a number of the players who
feel special need of practice have a
' "sworn compact" to meet in the band
room every night they can and "bone
right down to work." "Practice makes
perfect," and they propose to "git
thar" "if it takes a leg." Such inter
est as this means good music on the
plaza next summer. President Reck
hart is more interested than ever in
the band s welfare and luture, and is
giving much valuable time to promot
ing good concert band music in Kl Pa
so.

Death of Bernard M. Tansy.
Bernard M. Tansy, secretary of the
St. Louis Transfer company, died in
his rooms in the Sheldon block at 4
o'clock this morning, aged 29. The
deceased came to Kl Paso a year ago
on account of weakened lungs, spend
ing some time however at Eddy before
locating in El Paso, and was thought
to be on the road to health again. In
fact when he went home to St. Louis
last June, his physician told him that
in the course of another year he would
be able to return home permanently
cured .
Mr. Tansy caught cold a few weeks
ago and recently caught another cold
owing to the inclement weather. The
result appears to have been a paralysis
of the nerve centers with perhaps the
gathering of a clot in one of the blood
vessels in the brain. The unfortunate
man suddenly grew worse Sunday eve
ning, and shortly became unconscious,
in which condition he remained until
he died.
E. E. Neff was with the dying man,
as was also a nurse, and Col. Nefl him
self was immediately summoned, as
the colonel's family are friends of the
Tansys, and have looked carefully
after the young man's welfare. Dr.
Shught, Dr. Wright and Dr. Turner
were summoned, but the patient died
peacefully at 4 o'clock. Emerson &
Berrien, have instructions from tat.
Louis to embalm the remains and ship
to St. Louis tomorrow. The father of
the deceased, F. P. Tansy, is president
of the St. Louis Transfer company,
and a wealthy man. The young man
was bright and lovable and had warm
friends in El Paso.
Peter Fish, a stranger, and John II.
Thomas, a negro were arrested today
on a warrant from Justice McKies
court, on charge of holding up a Mexi
can under one of the smel

and robbing him of $17. Both of the
accused claim to be as innocent of the
charge as innocence itself. The
justice is giving the men a hearing
this afternoon.
Two alleged German barons and army
officers, giving the names of Baron
Vou Levyton and Baron T. Von Lack,
who were dined and wined by the army
officers at Denver, recently, until the
newspapers got afterthem and claimed
they were bogus, have been at Albu
querque, and are thought to be in E!
Paso today, as they were headed this
way.
The New York Musical Courier says
Sousa's band begins its 1897 tour next

ance, probably in March or April.
Parties from the east say that the

effect that the train had been held up

THE SANDY FORK HORROR.
Au Associated Press Report of V,e Acci
dent. The Men liadly Mangled.
"Waelder, Gonzales Co., Tex, Dec. 6.
Two freight trains on the Southern
Pacific collided five miles west of here
at 7:30 this morning, resulting in the
killing of five men outright.
ISTo. 25 eastbound had orders to wait
at Sandy Fork till three No. 24s passed.
The crew of Xo. 25 thinking the la-t
No. 24 had passed pulled out, and when
live miles west, Xo. 25 and the last No.
24 met. smashing both engines and
four cars, covering the whole earth
with molasses.
Killed:
Engineer Brown, both legs cut off
and disemboweled.
Engineer Cody, face injured and foot
cut olT and disemboweled.
Fireman Uolt. cut in two and scalded
bevond recognition.
Fireman Askin, horribly mangled.
Brakeman Heard, head cut oil and
buried beneath ruins, and had not been
extricated at 4 o'clock this evening.
Cody was a cousin to Buffalo Bill.
Holt was a son of Alderman Holt, of
San Antonio.
The eastbound train had orders to
wait on a blind siding near Waelder
for three sections of the westbound
train. When the second section of the
westbound train passed a mistake was
made in reading the signals and the
eastbound backed out of the siding and
started east at full speed. A dense fog
enveloped the two approaching trains,
which met in a sag of the road each
train going at a rapid speed to make
the opposite grade. Each train car
ried a crew of live men, half of whom
were killed instantly and two others
severeJv, tuouaii not st'nuusij iujuicu.
A relief train was made up at ban
Antonio and with a corps of physicians
and olheials. hurried to the scene of
the wreck and brought in the dead and
ini"red- ,,
JSews of the acciacnt, spreau rapwij
through the city, and when the relief
train came in bearing the dead, all of
whom were residents of the city, a
large crowd gathered at the depot and
the scene of grief as the bodies were
removed from the ear was very affect
ing. The two engines are a complete
wreck and the track was badly torn up
Through traflie was resumed late this
afternoon.
District Attorney John It. Fellows, of
New York City is dead of cancer of
the stomach. The ailment was brought
to a fatal termination through a cold

has for many years been one of the
best known figures before the Xew

The Kansas City Times is inclined to
be sarcastic. It says: "We learn
from a local gold standard paper that
Mexico 'silver cursed Mexico' is
having a tremendous boom on account
of large investments, made principally
by people from the United States, in
coffee plantations, m nufacturing es
tablishments acd railroads. Isn't it
rather curious to the local gold stand
ard paper that people should go out of
a gold standard country into a silver
one to invest their money?"
The Mexican Central railway has
received a proposition from a man in
Peoria, Ills., to have a railway collis
ion with some of their rolling stock,
the affair to be arranged in an enclo

and spectators to be charged a stated
price for admission. The railroad
company will advise the citizen of
Peoria that they can put their loco
motives to better use in hauling freight
and passengers and will decline toenter
into a partnership arrangement with
him.
The startling rumor that Roy Beau
