and dragged the image of their guardian
saint outside the trembling walls Of the
church and erected a temporary shrine in
the middle of the square, before which
all FRUSTRATED themselves. One hundred

NEW YORK, Jan. IA most dread
full accident was narrowly averted By a
quick witted engineer this morning. The
north-bound express on the New York &
Long Island railroad was filed with prom
inent New York business men coming to
their offices. Near Matawan, and just
before reaching a trestle bridge 500 feet
long, the cars were d%erailed by a broken
frog. The cars after dropping down on
the ties ran across the bridge, swapping
steel rails into bits and tearing the wooden
structure into splinters. The rear coach
lost its trucks and was drawn a long dis
lance on its floor beams. George Clock
ner, the engineer, finding it impossible to
stop his engine, which was tearing at the
rate of thirty miles an hour, saw that the
only hope was to increase the speed. He
threw open the throttle and thus pre-
vented the cars from topping over the
brdge. The cars swayed from side to
side. but they were safely carried u of
danger. The passengers were all more or
less shaken up, but nobody was seriously
hurt

NINE EXPLOSION.
Victims to the Deadly Firedamp
at Alma.

A terrific explosion occurred at the
Alma mines. neal Evanston, carly yester-
day morning, killing two men outright
and b%urying nine others in the depths OF
the mine. The car containing two men
was descending the slope, when the explo-
sion came with such terrific force as to
drive the car before it out of the mouth Of
the nine, throwing the bodies of the men
fully half a mile away into a field. Every
thing was blown out clear from the bottom
of the mine. The engine house roof and
stacks were knocked down, the house de-
stroyed and the blacksmith shop and
storeroom reduced to kindling wood.
Flames bdrst out instantly and burned
nearly all day yesterday. Unsuccessful
attempts were made to enter the mine
yesterday, the men being driven back by
coaldamp.

SAN Francesca, Jan. l4.-The Chron-
icle's El Paso, Tex, special says: The
Mormons OF Yuma, A. T., have requested
Governor Zulick to supply them with
arms to protect themselves from the
Apaches. This action on the part Of the
Mormons is causing much comment, as it
well known to the local authorities that
they have always been friendly 10 the
A%paches, having frequently supplied them
with food, horses and arms. 1t is be
lieved hat the hostiles need arms, and
that the Mormons will give those fur

They furnish about one fourth the average

Of streets were cut off from the mains this
afternoon, and efforts will be made to save
what water is nov being pumped. The
engineer thinks that with great care there

men was sent out to the crib, but the

AUSTIN, Tex. Jan. l4-Yesterday's
session of the Texas Live Stock Associa-
ton was taken up with Il consideration of
the report submitted by the committee on
public lands. After some notifications

force the land laws, and recommend that

quired by law. 1t asserts that only $500
600 acres of the 80. 0O0, 900 acres of public
lands have been leased, showing a loss of
81, 000, 600 to the taxpayers, and declares

so as to prevent the acquisition of land
by foreign companies. The report also

wards farmer emigrants. The convention
endorsed the doctrine hat cattle sanitary
measures and quarantine arrangement
should be under national control. One
hundred delegates were appointed to the
