ANOTHER SUNSET WRECK.
Seven Cars Smashed and One Locomo-
tive Observation-Disclosures Ed. Da-
Wis Killed and Two Men

a serious and fatal wreck occurred on the
Sunset railway yesterday morning at OclOck
near the SHludO creek, about four miles from
the city. Two trains, irCights, were wrecked
and seven cars were smashed and one lOCOmO-
tive badly damaged. This is the fourth wreck
that has occurred on the southern Pacific
railway within Al few weeks, and the repair
shops here now contain lsO cars and several
locomotives to repair, and the repair gang Is
kept very busy.
The wreck was caused by what Is known rs
"h. nd.end collision that Is both trains were
coming in the same direction west. The last
train run into the first and demolished the ca
bOOse ana Threw several cars on the
track. A brakeman named Ed. DAVIS, who
resides in this city, his father, Captain Bill
Davis, now OF SantC Fc railway, being we'll
known here, was in the cabOOsc ut the time of
the wreck and was injured so badly that he
died just as the engine bearing him reached
the depot at San Antonio. Tom Lucid fire.
man of the last train, was injured also. He
saved himself by jumping, but fractured his
ankle. Conductor Flanders, of the first train,
was also badly bruised. Both are now in the
city. Conductor sam Green was in charge of
the last train, and his engineer WIS Thos.
Henry. The engineer OF the first train was
Bass.
At the time of the collision, Bass, of the
first train, was running on schedule time, 10
miles per hour and Henry, of the last train,
was running at ~ miles an hour. The fault,
however, seems not to have been ia the
schedule but in the fact, rs II lie said in rail
road circles, that Henry violated his orders to
remain at the first station, out from san An.
tonic for ~ minutes, while the first train
pulled out ahead. The morning was very
foggy or the accident might have been avertsd
by signalling.
Justice Adam summoned cOrOner's jury at
O'Clock and viewed the remains, and the in
quest was then adjourned until this after
noon.
The remains of poor Davis were taken to his
parents residence on DignOwity hill, and are
held for burial, subject to the arrival of Cap
tain Davis, who is expected home to-day.
Edward Davis was about - years old. and
was one of four sons. He was highly re.
spcctCd by all his friends on the road and in
the city, and his tragic death is deeply
mOurnCd.
After the wreck Master Mechanic Ryan and
his gang went out to the scene of the disaster
to clear the track, and Ryan had narrow
escape for his life. The disabled engine was
being lacked up to be rightCd aud was JACKIE
too high and fell over, nearly catching Ryan

A Hint to the Citizens.

A committee of citizens in Austin are at
work to advertise Austin as winter resort
and general sanitarium and up to the present
time have raised over $1,000 for that purpose
The Missouri Pacific will also advertise the
city upon its folders, making feature of the
of the new Driskill hotel. This is wise
movement, and judiciousy worked is going
to do much good for Austin, for visitors spend
large sums of money and often locate in a
city they like, but such is likely TO detract
from the visitors to our beautiful and healthy
city. What is San Antonio going TO do about
II? Has she grit enough to push some scheme
that shall at least place the claims of our city
besides those of Austin, or will she sit quietly
by and see visitors that should come here
drawn to Austiny
