The second accident, within two
weeks, on account of the transportation
of powder in common railroad trains,
comes to us from Denver, Colo, Mon
day. The first dispatches say that ten
were killed and thirty wounded. Later
advices from Fountain, the scene of the
Santa Fe Railway accident, state that
train No. 7, known as the Thunder
bolt, arrived at Fountain at 24l a. M,
and had only been standing few min
utes when caboose and some cars, the
brakes of which had got loose in some
way, ran down from a side track and
struck the train with terrific force.
One of the cars was loaded with naththa
which exploded, throwing the oil over
everything and setting the train on fire.
The trainmen showed the uninjured cars
back from the wreck and were trying
to save the depot, when it was discover
ed that two cars were standing on the
main track that were not wrecked. The
nearest one was burning and was tag
ged powder" and shortly afterwards
the car exploded, completely demolish-
ing the depot, several buildings and a
number of cars. Three persons, one
woman and two men, were killed by
the explosion, and some twelve or fif-
teen persons were wounded, but none
very seriously. There is hole in the
ground where the car stood about thirty
feet in diameter and fifteen feet deep.
Two cars were burned and sixteen with
the locomotive were more or less
wrecked. 1t is supposed tramps let off
the brakes from the cars.
