Acute Americanitis is the name given by
q writer In the Medical Times and Gazette
for a disease asserted to be caused in English
men by visits TO America. According to
this harmless romsncer the symptoms de
veloped by one of these sufferers are that he
is thinner taller, lank- jawed and sallow,
with a loss of weight of thirty pounds"
These difficulties are supposed toshow them
selves after six weeks residence here, but
subside rapidly upon the unfortunates' re-
turn to Observation-Disclosures. We have
noticed that Englishmen in this
country lean, for we have frequently noticed
them lean up against lamp post. So it is
the atmospheric influence that does it? We
imagined that 1t Was something stronger
than "the blarsLed climate"

they were sleeping was crushed to atoms
and the human occupants hurled down the
mountain side. rescuing party started
ont from Crested Butte as soon as
the news was received, and after sew
eral hours of indefatigable labor the
men were all uncovered. Philip Carmin,
Logan Inman, Louis Richards, William
Moore Charles Belts, J.. ]. Raymond and
one other, name unknown, were found dead
Eighteen others were wounded, several
fatally. All of the Company's expensive
machinery was destroyed.

six miles of Crested Butte, divided, the en-
CINE going ahead to clear the tack. When
about four miles where il left the coaches
the engine was struck by a snow-slide,
ditched, and is now under about twenty feet
of snow. A wrecking engine, which left
this morning, could not get nearer than
two miles of the coaches, and returned to-
night for the starving passengers.
