A GREAT DISASTER Wreck of World's Fair Flyer In Colorado Was an Awful Thing.

NEARLY 100 VICTIMS When the Denver & Hio Grande Train Plunged Through the Bridge There Was No Escape. But Four Persons Out of the Crowded Coaches Live to Tell the Story. Pueblo, Col., Aug. 9. The wreck of the World's Fair Flyer on the Denver & Rio Grande near Eden, seven miles north of Pueblo, Sunday evening, proves to have been one of the greatest rairoad disasters in the history of the country. Two crowded passenger cars and a baggage car were engulfed In the torrent that tore out a trestle panning Steel's hollow, otherwise known as Dry creek, and, so far as known, only three of the occupants of these cars escaped death. Fortunate ly two sleeping cars and a diner, completing the train, remained on the track at the edge of the abyss and none of their occupants were killed of Injured. How many perished probably will never be definitely ascertained, for the treacherous sands are drifting over the bodies. Searching for the dead is still In progress. All corpses found were brought to Pueblo and placed in four morgues here. Seventy-six bodies have been recovered and of these fifty have been identified. Bodies were recovered all the way along Fountain river from the scene of the wreck to this city. Two'bodies were taken from the stream at First street, Pueblo, more than eight miles from the point where the disaster occurred, and it is probable that some may even be recovered even further down stream. None of the bodies is badly mutilated, and all are in such condition as to be recognizable. Many identifications have been made by articles found on the bodies, no persons who viewed them recognizing the features. Added to the seventy-six uodies thus far recovered there are more than twentyfive persons missing, this latter being based upon estimates of the number of persons who were seated in the fated cars. The actual number may never he known, as the body of the conductor, who had the tickets in his pocket, has not et been recovered. So quie:l.' had the catastrophe been enacted ti t the occupants of the three cars remaining on the track did not realize that an accident had oc curred until they alighted from the train. Then they were utterly powerless to render assistance to the victims, who had disappeared into the rushing waters. The bridge gave way as if it had been a stack of kindling wood and the locomotive dropped with the hissing of steam thirty feet to the bottom of the arroyo, crosswise to the track. The baggage car, smoking car and chair car followed the locomotive Into the stream and were swept away. All the occupants of these cars, save three men, perished, and had not the roof of the chair car burst asunder, none would have escaped. The fireman, as the locomotive went over, was thrown out and, managing to grasp a piece of wreckage from the bridge, floated with that to a curve made by th caving bank and crept out of the water. He ran toward Eden, meeting on the way Operator F. M. Jones and ills wife, who had already started up the track. They had seen the headlight of the approaching train a minute before and then had witnessed it disappear with ominous suddenness. The two men ran to where the bridge had been to search for victims of the disaster. When they reached the spot all cries for help had ceased. Relief trains with physicians, wreck and piledriving outfits and scores of workmen were hurried from the city. The first train from the wreck came in shortly after with J. M. Killin of Pueblo, whose escape was miraculous; H. S. Gilbert, Tony Fisher and Fireman Mayfleld. They were four men in the midst of the wreck who escaped. The water tore a zig-zag course across the prairie to a depth of thirty feet in several places. There was but little left of the baggage car a few rods, a truck or so, and a half-burled iron safe. The great locomotive, the boiler free of the trucks, the cab and tank gone, lies where it fell. A quarter of a mile to the east lay the chair car, windows gone, three-fourths filled with mud and and. A hundred feet farther on was the smoker, bottom up against a sandbar. A hundred and fifty feet farther on in the bed of the Fountain was the coal-tender of the engine, and from that point on for four or five miles, vestiges of the coaches, the engine and tender stuck up from the bed of the I stream or lay along the shore or on the Islands. Bodies reocvered were Identified very slowly, because many of t them were those of strangers who had been to the fair at St. Louis, and other Eastern points. Train Plunged Into Rfver. Henderson. Ky., Aug. 9. A fast freight on the Louisville, Henderson & St. Louis road went through an open bridge at Spottsville, Ky., last night,

and the crew of eight were drown eC The bridge is swung on a pivot In the center and had been turned previously to the arrival of the train, to admit of the passage of a steamer.

STRUCK BROKEN RAIL Fast Train cn the Vandalia Burned Near Indianapolis. Indianapolis, Aus. 9. Running at tho rate of forty miles an hour, an eastbound Vandalia train from St. Louis Struck a broken rail at Plainfield, eighteen miles west of this city, late yesterday afternoon, and five coaches left the track and caught fire. Several of the passengers were slightly injured, but none was killed or seriously hurt. The burning cars set fire to the Plainfield grain elevator at the side of the track, which was entirely consumed. The train struck a broken rail at a point near the elevator, and immediately east of the station, where the track runs at the top of a twelve or fifteenfoot embankment. The cars bumped along for some distance before they left the track. The fire came immediately, supposedly from an explosion of gas in the storage tanks. The injured persons were carried into the station, and all the physicians of the little town were summoned to the scene. Indianapolis was appealed to for aid in fighting the fire. An engine and a chemical were placed on cars and hurried to the town. The town has no fire protection. Many passengers on the train had marvelous escapes from injury, as some of the derailed cars were completely overturned. The injuries consisted mainly of cuts from broken glass and minor bruises. THE ORDER EFFECTIVE Union Teamsters Today Take Part In Packinghouse Strike. Chicago, Aug. 9. The union teamsters are to be the principal weapon which the labor leaders propose to use to win the stockyards strike. Orders have been issued to drivers of ice wagons to deliver no more ice to butchers who buy of the big packers or to any of the branch houses of the packing plants where the men are now on strike. A list of more than 200 retail dealers who have been buying meat from the so-called trust packers ai'l hauling away with their own wagons has been compiled and, according to the claims of the strike leaders, the ice supply will be cut off from every one of these places. Arrangements have been made to have pickets stationed at all the retail markets which have been placed under the ban of the unions to see that the boycott is enforced to the limit. This order is a duplication of the one Issued last week, but which was never enforced because it had not been sanctioned by the international officers of the teamsters' union. At Cincinnati, where the International Brotherhood of Teamsters is in session, the necessary indorsement of the proposed boycott was given and the belated order was put in force this morning. All the packing plants are operating here with slightly increased forces of workmen. Three Towns Started. Bonesteel, S. D., Aug. 9. When filing began on the Rosebud reservation, about all of the 100 successful entrymen whose privilege it was to make their filings the first day were on hand to make their choice. William McCormick, who held No. 1, filed the quarter section running parallel with the quarter reserved for the town of Roosevelt. Entryman Ruggs, who held No. 2, filed directly beyond. McCormick. Three towns, Roosevelt, Burke and Gregory, have been started. There was some excitement for a while, but the sheriff prevented any serious trouble. Will Gather on Historic Ground. Washington, Aug. 9. An army of workmen directed from Washington is now engaged In preparing the ground for the army maneuvers that are to take place between the 5th and 10th of September on the battlefields of Bull Run and Haymarket in Virginia. When the maneuvers are in full blast It is estimated that 25,000 men will be engaged. Of this number 5,000 will be regular soldiers and the remainder state troops. Clark Will Break the News. Esopus, N. Y., Aug. 9. Carpenters have erected a speaker's stand at Rosemont, from which Congressman Champ Clark of Missouri will formally notify Judge Parker tomorrow of his nomination for the office of president. The platform is situated in the grove above Judge Parker's home. A large crowd Is expected to attend the notification ceremonies. The grounds will be open and no visitors will be turned away.

PANIC IN THE PORT

Shanghai Rrmor Has It That (Jeii. 'stoessel Has Committed Suicide. CRISIS IS ITiECiriTATED Willi Comnmitlcr tt Port Arthur Dead a Panic Is; Iteiea;u:-eil Port Has Kesultetl. Heavy Fii-iri From That Direction Has BfH'ii Heard at Oiee-Foo Since Last Xiy;ht. Shanghai. Aug. 9. I is reported here that there are lO.ooo sick and wounded persons at Port Arthur ant! that the Russians are negotiating with the Japanese to send the hospital ship Mongolia away full of sicK. It is also reported that lieutenant General StoesBel (in command of the military forces at Port Arthur) has committed suicide and that panic prevails at Port Arthur. St. Petersburg, Aug. 9. There Is increasing impatience among all classes for decisive news from Liao Yang. Lieutenant General Sakharoff's report that there has been no change in the Manchurian army's sphere of operations merely adds to tue tension, which possibly will continue for some time. There is no telling how much time the notoriously slow and methodical preparations of the Japanese may consume before they are ready to advance on General Kuropatkin's stronghold. Every day's aelay gives tho Russian commander greater opportunity to fortify or to get away in case he decides to avoid a big battle, though it is not generally thought here that there is much likelinood of his retreating without a decisive fight. Viceroy Alexieff's dispatch from Mukden communicating official messages from Port Arthur bears out the reported loss of the Japanese protected cruisers Itsukushima and Chiyoda, and indicates considerable activity on the part of the Port Arthur squadron. The care exercised in sending a dred ger fleet ahead of the squadron both In leaving and returning to the harbor, is amply vindicated by the loss of one of the pilot boats and is also taken as a guarantee that there will be no further damage to the Russian warships by Japanese mines. N EARING A CRISIS Decisive Action Cannot Long Be Deferred at Port Arthur. Chefoo, Aug. 9. Durjng the last twenty-four hours 200 Chinese and 50 Russian refugees have arrived here from Port Arthur. They almost all left there on Aug. 3. It has been impossible to obtain confirmation of the report of the sinking off Port Arthur of a Japanese cruiser, but that this occurred is not denied, as the vessel is said to have sunk in a place where mines have recently been laid. Two French newspaper correspondents who made an attempt to reach Port Arthur by junk, saw the Japanese fleet on Aug. 6. They were twice arrested and turned back. They heard nothing of the alleged sinking of a Japanese cruiser. They counted twenty-four vessels of the Japanese fleet ranged in a double semi-circle In front of the harbor. This last batch of refugees, several of whom witnessed part of three days' fighting of the week before last, say that the Japanese troops are about six miles from the inner forts. The Japanese are busy endeavoring to work their trenches nearer the fortress. The Russian resistance to these efforts is confined to the use of artillery, which ceaselessly harasses the diggers. The Japanese are said to have sixty guns In position on Wolf's hill and vicinity, and it is evidently their intention to slowly and surely tighten their noose around Port Arthur. Viceroy Alexieff Reports. St. Petersburg, Aug. 9. Viceroy Alexieff reports that in the engagement which took place July 26 off Port Arthur between the Japanese and Russian squadrons three Japanese ships, including a gunboat, were damaged. Firing Heard at Chefoo. Chefoo, Aug. 9. The firing of heavy guns at intervals of one minute has been distinctly heard in the direction of Port Arthur since late last evening, the acoustic conditions of the atmosphere being unusually favorable. Held Without Ball. Springfield, 111., Aug. 9. Sangford Wolf, a farmer living near Mowquea, was arrested yesterday at his home, charged with the murder of Thomas Stringer. The men had been enemies for some time. Both were driving along a road when Wolf, It Is alleged, left his buggy and, going to Stringer's vehicle, stabbed him to death with a knife. Wolf was taken to Taylorville, where he waived examination and was held to the grand jury without bail. Burglars Strike It Rich. Muncie .Ind.. Aug. 9. Burglars entered the home of M. Seitz, a saloon keeper, and secured a rich haul. Mr. Seitz's tctal loss will afgregate $3,200; between $800 and $900. a diamond worth $400 and three pocketbooks containing $1,900 in notes were taken.
