TRAIN WRECKED IN TEXAS.

Throw an Express from the Track.
Ten People Killed Outright and Fifteen
Others Seriously Injured-The Motive
q Chance for Robbery.

Hampstead, Tex, Nov. 14-About half past
7 o'clock this morning the north bound train on
the Houston G. Texas Central railway was
wrecked at Clear Creek station, about two
miles south of this place, and, as far as known,
ten people were killed outright and fifteen
wounded moro or less dangerously. The inves-
tigatlon by the railway authorities reveals that
the diabolical work was done by discharged en-
ployes and thieves in the vicinity, who sought to
wreck a freight train for the spoils
to be obtained. Breaking into section
house the wreckers obtained the necessary
TOOLS and by pulling spikes and christening the
fish plates arranged the rail to yield to the press
ure without, however, entirely removing it. 1t
so happened that the passenger train, having the
right of way and being behind hand,
was the first to reach the scene
of disaster. Striking the loosened
rail, the engine and tender got over safely,
while two baggage-cars, mail and express, and
two Pullman sleepers went the thirty foot
embankment and into the creek. In the bag
gage-car, l. Cadoza, travelling passenger agent
of the New York. Texas & Mexican railway,
was drowned, together with Z. F. Loris, bag
gagemaster, and Green Lewis, the colored
porter. The following are the names of the
killed and wounded:

disease made great ravages among the soldiers
of the garrison but the military officers publish
no returns, and refuse all information The
west end is still healthy but is comparatively
deserted Most of the residents of that quarter
have fled. There were fresh cases of cholera
reported to-day, but the mortality increased.
There are now 400 cholera patients in the hos

in the city and fortysix in the hospitals. In the

occurred in the city and eleven in the hospitals.

was reported In Selma previous to their arrival,
and served to inflame the old veterans. They
were allowed, however, to begin their jollifica-
ton and continue it for some time, but not
without Offering insults to Republicans VINO
stood by. Insult followed insult and then came
o general fight, in which bricks, stones and
pistols were used. Several persons were quite
seriously hurt, and one man, a Republican, was
shot in the leg ard dangerously wounded The
wonder is that several were not killed, and but
for the advice of older and cooler heads, such
would have been the case. The excitement in
that vicinity, and even here, to-day, is intense,
and it is feared that more serious trouble will
follow. Many incendiary remarks are being
made on our streets so that to-morrow's county
ratification in this city is anticipated with con
siderable alarm.

votes given to St John were drawn from the
Republican party. These voters were deceived
and used for base purpose. They were consci-

them to stand up and be counted. Many of
them did not stop to consider that their hocking
