    FORTY DEAD.
A Frightful Disaster on a
Railroad in Colorado.
TRAINS COLLIDED
Two Trains on the Denver & Rio
Grande Road Were Wrecked-
People Burned to Death.
Pueblo, Col. —Sone two score
lives were crushed out early Fri
day in a collision of two passenger
-trains near Adobe, Col., on the Denver
& Rio Grande railroad and nearly
a score of the victims were inciner
ated beyond identification by a fire
that destroyed the wrecked coaches.
More than a score were injured, but
all will probably recover.
The wreck was due to undelivered
orders, heavy mountain grades, a
blinding snow storm, a sharp curve
and the slippery condition of the rails.
Only the locomotives, baggage and day
coaches were wrecked, the sleeping
cars escaping almost unscathed.
Many of the dead were homeseek
ers bound for the northwest. The
three crushed locomotives set fire to
the splintered coaches and it was
hours before all the bodies were re
covered, the flames being so hot that
rescuers could not approach the debris
until (he fuel burned out.
It was a wild, stormy night, in tho>
mountain canons when the two heavy
trains met. Blinding snow darkened
the rocky gorges.
Suddenly headlights flashed out and
it was realized by the engineers that
something was wrong. According to
Fireman J. H. Smith, of the westbound
train, Engineer Walter Cosslett ap
plied the emergency brake, but the
slippery rails allowed the heavy train
to carry it onto the fatal crash.
The trains crashed and ground into
each other. The helper engine of the
westbound train acted as a cushion,
minimizing the force and weight of
the heavy mountain engines. This
helper was crushed together like so
much paper and the larger locomotives
ran through the mesh of iron and
plowed each other to pieces.
Fireman Smith was the only one of
the engine crews to escape. The bag
gage car of the westbound train broke
in two and three coaches were
squeezed together. The baggage car,
the mail car and a coach of the east
bound train buckled, but none of the
cars telescoped.
The monetary damage to railroad
property is $200,000. In addition to
this much baggage and mail were de
stroyed.
THREE EIREMEN KILLED.
Were Crushed to Death Under a Roof
that Fell—Nine Others Injured.
Camden, N. J.—Three firemen were
killed and nine others seriously in
jured Friday night at a fire which de
stroyed the old Sixth regiment armory
In this city.
The fire started in the boiler room
of the armory and quickly spread to all
parts of the structure. About a dozen
firemen were ordered Into the burning
building with a line of hose and were
making good progress in fighting the
flames when they were warned by Fre
man Harry Dease that the roof was
giving way. Before the men could
heed the warning the great expanse of
roof fell, burying Dease and the others
under it. Shields, Hiilman and Jobes
were crushed to death. The others
managed to follow the line of the hose
and escaped after most of them had
been seriously lacerated and burned.
A general alarm was sounded and
after great effort the flames were con
fined to the armory, which was entire
ly destroyed.
BUSINESS BULLETIN.
Favorable Reports are the Rule In
Nearly All Lines.
New York. —R. G. Dun & Co.'s
Weekly Review of Trade says:
Wholesome conditions are maintain
ed in commercial channels, the tenor
of most reports being favorable, and
comparatively little anxiety is felt re
garding the labor situation. New
projects are constantly appearing,
calling for much capital ami giving
employment to many. Several scales
have been signed that provide for
higher wages after this month, and the
general prosperity of the winter is be
lieved to assure a very large retail
trade in spring wearing apparel.
Failures this week numbered 229 in
the United States, against 250 last
year, and"i in Canada, compared with
20 a year ago.
A Day of Filibustering.
Washington—»The session of the
house on the It>th was devoted to de
bate on the bill to abolish the rank of
lieutenant general in the army. With
out deciding the question an adjourn
ment until the Huh was taken.
Village Swept by Fire,
White I'i.eon. Mich.—The busl
news section of this village was
nearly wiped out Friday by a lire
which started in the furniture store of
Alfred Wicket. The bla*e destroyed
th ■ furniture store and spread to ad
joining Ihi in. pla<. . Only seven
store buildings remain.
Bank Cashior Arrested.

cashier of the First National
llank of Freeland, was arrested Iters

tllng »3«,»oo from the Institution
THE STATE 0* OHIO.
The white population of Ohio !»
equal to about half of the white popu
| lutlou of North America, outside of
! the United States.
Ohio is as big as eight of the small
est states combined. It Is less than
j cne-sixth the size of Texas and a lit
j tie over one-quarter as large as Call- 1
i fornla.
The difference between the highest
i land in Ohio and the surface of Lake
Erie, in elevation above the sea, is
! almost equal to the height of the four
tallest buildings in Cleveland placed
on top of one another.
In population relative to area Ohio
Is about equal t3 Spain, the average
; density being somewhat greater in this j
| state. Russia, Norway, Sweden and
Turkey have fewer inhabitants in pro- j
portion to their extent than Ohio,
i No part of Ohio is farther north j
than central Italy. The southern lim- i
Its of the stale a--e in the latitude of j
the extreme southern part of Italy, ex
cept the tip of Calabria. Cincinnati
is only a little north of Lisbon, Portu
gal.
About ten per rent, of the people of i
Ohio live in Cleveland. This city ac- J
counts for about 28 per cent, of the j
! foreign-born inhabitants of the state. :
It has much mors than half of certain
I foreign elements, notably the Bohe- j
mians and Hungarians.
Ohio is the seventeenth state in age, I
the thirty-second in area "and the
fourth in population. There are only
! seven states which do not surpass
Ohio in the altitude above sea level of
the highest point of land within their
boundaries. These are Rhode Island, I
Delaware, "Florida, Louisiana, Missis
sippi, Illinois and Indiana.
Although much smaller than many
of the states famous as grain produc
ers, Ohio usually ranks among the
first half-dozen in the yield of wheat, |
j corn and oats. It stands as high in
' apples and Is usually fourth or firth in
| tobacco. Ofiio grows more tobacco J
than Texas, Louisiana, Arkansas, Ala
, boma, Missouri, Mississippi, Georgia, j
i South Carolina, Indiana and Penn- |
eylvanla all together.
RANDOM YARNS.
A sanctimonious bore whose hobby
was anti-Catholicism went to the great
evangelist one day and put the direct
question: "Mr. Moody, do you ever !
intend to do any preaching against the
Catholics?" "Yes, I may some time." j
"When will that be?" "After the I'rot- j
! estants are converted."
The late Bishop Mandell Crelghton
was once asked if he could State the ]
difference between an Oxford man and
a Cambridge man. The professor, as
he then was, immediately replied: "An
j Oxford man looks as if the world be- !
longed to him; a Cambridge man as if
he didn't care to whom the world be
j longed."
Here is a fish story told by a British
; nobleman: An Irishman had caught a
j big pike. Noting a lump in Its storn
' ach, he cut It open. "As I cut It open
j there was a mighty rusa and a flap-
I ping of wings, and away flew a wild
duck, and when I looked inside, there I
was a nest with four eggs, and she had
been afther silting on that nest."
A good story is told of Lord Iveagh.
Ha was once traveling through Ire
land with the lord lieutenant, and two
carriages were reserved at a certain
station, the one for the lord lieutenant
and the other for the distinguished
j brewer. The porter, sticking the re
served mark on the first carriage, re- j
marked reflectively: "An' that's for his
E».," and at the second carriage, "An"
! this is for hi 3 XX."
——
Congressman Madden, of this city,
was discussing the trails of character
of the Irish. "I went to call on a con-
I stituent of mine," said Mr. Madden, j
"to see a new baby. I found the
j youngster all battered up, black and I
| blue in spots. 'What's the matter with J
| him?' I asked. *Oh, nothing,' answered j
! his mother. 'You see, he was christened
yesterday and while his daddy was
holding him the six o'clock whistle
I blew.' "
His "Worship" Was Well.
A prisoner accused in an English
j court of burglary presented to the
j judge a written defense when he wa3
placed on trial. It began: "I hope an I
trust these few lines will lind you quite
I well." lie got three years penal serv
itude.
THE EDITOR
Explains How to Keep Up Mental
and Physical Vigor,
A New Jersey editor writes:
"A long indulgence in improver l'ood
brought on a condition of nervous dys
pepsia, nearly three years ago, so se
vere that 1 had to quit work entirely,
i I put myself on a strict regimen of
Grape-Nuts food, with plenty of out
door exercise und in a few months found
j my stomach so far restored that the
process of digestion gave me pleasure in
stead of distress.
"it also built up my strength so that I
j was able to resume my business, which
is onerous, as 1 not only edit my owu
paper but also do a greut ileal of 'ou>
! side' writing.
"1 Hud that the Grape-Nuts diet cn
afes ine to write with greater vigor
1 than ever before, and without the fuel
ing of brain-fag with which I used to bo
troubled Ah to bodily Vigor I can and
do walk miles every day without fatigue
a few squares ttssd to weary me be
fore I began to live on Grape-Nuts!
