Burned While Traveling-Several Burned
to Death and Others Terribly Injured.
DENVER, Aug. 29.-The News Greeley spe-
cial says: The burning of circus car nine
miles north of Greeley was attended with in
describable horrors. The burned car was
next to the engine in a train OF seventeen
cars, containing the Orleans Anglo. American
Circus which left Fort Collins about mid
night for Golden over the Greeley, Salt
Lake and Pacific Railroad. The train
was nearing Windsor, a small station
near Greeley, running about twenty-five
miles an heur, when Engineer Calleprlest
discovered the car was on fire. He reversed
the engine and threw open the whistle-valve.
There were sixty men in the car. arranged IN
three tiers of berths on either side. The for
ward side door was closed and men in hunks
sleeping against it. The rear side door was
also closed and the men who awOke disc0v-
cred the lower unoccupied berths next to it,
containing rubbish, on fire, filling the car
with smoke, and cutting OF escape in
that direction. The only means OF egress
was through a small window between
car and engine. Two men crawled through
the opening and tried tc pass in water from
the engine tank. Owing to the suhocating
gases it was difficult to arouse the sleepers.
Some were kicked and bruised In q shocking
manner, and pitched out of the window
The screams Of those who were unable to
get through the blockaded aperture were ter.

A TERRIBLE TORNADO.
Most Terrific Storm Visits Evansville
and Vicinity, Doing Great Damage-The
Transfer Steamer Belmont Capsized and
Fifteen or Twenty Lives Lost

Most Terrific Storm Visits Evansville
and Vicinity, Doing Great Damage-The
Transfer Steamer Belmont Capsized and
Fifteen or Twenty Lives Lost.
EVANSVILLE, Ind, Aug. %. The most
terrific wind and rain and hail storm ever
known visited Evansville this morning at
s o'clock, lasting over an hour The wind
was blowing a hurricane, and changing
from northwest to northeast. The Silver
thorn, with steam up, bad her chimneys
blown overheard, but the boat was not much
damaged. Two stales were blown from her
mooriDg the full length of the city, and
landed at the upper coal dock without
damage. The John V. Throop, Just arrived
and landed, broke ali her lines drifted to
narrowly escaped burning. She
was badly wrecked her starboard
guard was all gone, and her upper works
were badly damaged. The bar in front of the
city is full of barges, among them the trans
fer barge, loaded with freight cars. The
aground Many houses were demolished
and roofs and chimneys blown off; stables
were blown down, and the streets are full of
fallen shade trees, but no lives are reported
lost.
The report that the transfer steamer Bel
mont was SuDK TINS morning by the hurrl
cane, near Henderson tow-head, and twenty
lives lost, Is not generally believed among
river men. The boat probably was damaged
and is ashore, but the river is too low to be
dangerous, although the storm was terrible
There are nothing but rumors as yet; will
send facts as soon as they can be obtained.
Night-The river is rising slowly, with
three feet two inches on the gauge. Their
mometer seventy-six to eighty-four the ba-
rometer less than twep ty nine. The cap
sizing OF the Belmont was a serious affair.
Particulars in special are much loss in the
neiehboriDg towns, but worst at Henderson
and Uniontown. The locals are all out ex
cept the Throop and Silverthorn, both badly
disabled.
The loss of the transfer steamer Belmont
and the drowning of ten or fifteen persons
are confirmed. The hurricane in the fore
noon capsized the boat at Stanley's land
ing, three miles above here, turning
her completely over. In going to Hender-
son with a barge and train containing the
passengers of the Louisville and Nashville
Railroad, the boat separated from the barge
ard all on the latter were saved and all on
the boat, except four or five, were lost
Among those lost are Captain John Smith,
L. C. Roach and son, prominent merchant
of Evansville; Miss Laura Lyon and sister,
Sallie Bryant (teachers here) and mother:
also Mrs. WOodtree, of Henderson, aud a
lady and babe with a satchel with a card in
it marked Mrs. Hattie Murray, Brookield,
Ala. The bodies of three of the latter were
found. The boat is total less; $4,000 ma

phone 10 Henderson are broken.

son.
From the New York Journal.
After reporting what was to be seen
during the first attack on Charleston,
S. c., Henry Willard came North and
made the acquaintance of William Lloyd
Garrison, and was taken to that gentle
mans home in Boston and introduced to
the Garrison household as a hero and
strong anti-slavery advocate. Here the
young man saw Miss Fannie Garrison, a
beautiful young lady, who was about
completing her education in a Boston
seminary. She was considered one of
the bellies of Boston society, was pa
%triotic, bright. and though quite
young, thoroughly understood
the causes which led to the breach be-
tween the North and South. Mr.
Willard passed many hours in conyer-
sation with the enthusiastic maiden be-
fore he again started Tor the front. Her
vivacious MI and winning ways
bad driven from his memory the early
resolutions made before he sought his
fortune on this side of the Atlantic,
and the modest desire for u little cot
in sunny France with the dark-eyed
girl who had first inspired him with
the tender sentiments OF love, as his
wife. Never in all his travels in Europe
or in any portion of the West and
South-ior by this time Willard had
seen much of the worid-had he come
in ontae with a soul which had SO
thoroughly charmed him. He returned
to the South fully determined to
keep her foremost in his memory.
When. later on, maIarial fever contract.
ell in the Southern swainps forced him
again to return Narth he was assisted
back to health by the tender sympath-
les and cheering smiles of the beautiful
Boston girl. Then he declared his love
both to the daughter and parents and a
little later he led her to the altar. Since
his marriage Mr.. Wizards life has been
one Of unusual sue ess.
To day the once poor but ambitious
emigrant youth may be found surround
ed by a lovely family of children in a
grand old mansion bordered by parks
and lawns or the banks overlooking the
Hudson, near this ci, y. The beautiful
young Eastern girl is just as charming
as ever. r

How He Did 1t.

1t is painful to print such incidents
of unnecessary tragedy as the following.
We do it because we are anxious to cir
cu|ate every warning against playing
with firearms, and in the hope that 9TH
ers may learn in season never to point a
gun or pistol in sport, because
they think they are not loaied. The
residence Of John Williams, Of Scranton,
Pa, was the scene OF a pitiful tragedy

The committee Of the New York Legis-

report against the purchase of wood

tilat all valuable soft timber near the

remains is a dense forest, absolutely
unsnarketaple because too far away
from any stream; that the agitation Of
the question of purshsse has already in
meased the price by an enormous sum,
