or had greatly reduced their speed when
the second section, the engineer of
which was prevented from seeing the
head section by a sharp turn in the cut,
dashed into the coach, tearing it into a
thousand pieces and throwing the de-
bris, wounded and dead on to the Santa
Fe track a few feet away. Twelve
loaded freight cars ahead of the coach
were derailed and completely wrecked.
None of the trainmen were injured.
Those who escaped from the car unin-
jured, together with some of the
citizens of Florence, were soon
at work taking the injured and dead from
the wreck. AS the coach was lying by
itself, and not under any other car, it
was with little difficulty that the men
were taken out and conveyed to the de-
pot which was turned into temporary
hospital. OF the forty-seven men known
to have been sleeping in the car, five
were killed instantly, and thirty-seven
wounded. Physicians from Canon CITY
and Pneblo arrived in very short time
on special train, and gave the wounded
all the attention possible. The injured
were taken to the company's hospital at
Salida, tonight, and two of the men are
not expected to live until morning.
!. The dead are: H. L. Winters, Idaho
Springs, Colorado Jonathan Falks,
Pueblo; G. B. Williams, Leadville.
Those most seriously injured are
James Faust, fractured thigh; J.. Por-
enti, both hips fractured; Ed Brown,
hips dislocated; John Welsh, head badly
cut; E. L. Fash, severe internal in
juries John Palmer, both legs broken
and internal injuries: Ernest Scott,
internal injuries, head hurt; Uboldo
Maschutt, scalp wound and shoulder
hurt; John Delduca, left hip broken
and head injured; Ed Martin, leg
broken and thigh dislocated; Michael
Burke, spine hurt; David Asbury, in
ternal hemorrhages.
The others are thought to be but
slightly bruised. There were quite
number of Italians in the party, who
were recently shipped here from the
east. AS they were unable to speak the
English language, the Italian consul,
Roncaglia, left here this evening for Sa-
Ida to be of any assistance to his coun-
trymen possible. 1t is not determined
who is responsible for the accident, and
an investigation will be made at once.
The damage to the company's property
will be in the neighborhood of $15 900.

DASHED TO DEATH.
An Appalling Accident at an Electric
Hallway Crossing.

CLEVELAND, o., Sept. GA frightful
accident occurred at the Wilson avenue
crossing Of the New York. Chicago &
St. Louis road at 80 O'Clock tonight, by
which at least a dozen persons were
terribly injured, some fatally. The
crossing is on steep grade down which
runs the electric street railroad line. At
the time the accident occurred, a freight
train was standing close to the crossing
on the south track An electric motor,
drawing one car, was approaching
from the south. The safety
gates were up and the road
apparently clear. Just as the motor
crossed the railroad track, locomotive,
running about twenty miles an hour,
dashed out from behind the freight
train. The engine of the train struck
the electric train between the motor and
trail car, tearing them apart aud hurl-
ing one to each side of the track. At
least score of persons were on the
trail car, and were tumbled about in all
directions, some being hurled a dozen
feet away, and others pinned under the
car, which was demolished. The street
railroad barns were close to the scene of
the accident, and rescuing party was
soon on hand. The victims were taken
from the wreck and hurried away in
ambulances to the hospital within
short space of time. All of them were
so badly injured that they had to be
carried from the wreck.
There was no warning whistle, and
the bell was not rung. The engine
ploughed right through the street cars,
and the screams of the frightened pas
sengers rose above the crashing of the
frames of the cars. A moment later the
injured passengers were lying about
groaning in agony. Two sisters, Louisa
and Minnie Mock, were in the
car. They were lifted out tenderly and
partially revived. Minnie's body
was terribly crushed and blood trickled
from an ugly wound in her head. She
was taken to St. Alexis hospital, and
died in half an hour. Her sister Louisa
was badly hurt about the head and
arms, the muscles of her right forearm
being torn away from the bone. She
will doubtless recover. The wrecked
cars were bespattered with blood, and
the hands, faces and clothing of the res
cuers were covered with the crimson
fluid.
Following is list of the injured
Minnie Mock, aged "a, crushed died at
hospital.
A. Moore, aged %, right arm crushed,
left leg lacerated.
Annie Niemann, collar bone broken,
face cut.

arms.

The supreme motive of the government
is the conviction that the proposed go

SAN Francisco, Sept. 6-The celebra-
ton OF the fortieth anniversary of the ad-
mission of California into the union,
was opened tonight by street parade
and an open air concert, and a display
of fireworks at Union square. The
Native Sons of the various local parlors,
the veteran fremen, the committee OF
arrangements of the Admission day
celebration and number of bands of
music took part in the procession.
Great crowds OF people were on the
streets all along the line of march and
much enthusiasm was manifested.
The crowds of people who witnessed
the parade have seldom been equalled in
this city, and on Market, Montgomery
and Kearney streets, and in the vicinity
OF Union square, the crowds were par
ticularly dense. A platoon of police
headed the procession and
had considerable difficulty in clearing
the streets sufficiently to allow the lines
to pass. Almost every window along
the line of march seemed to be occupied.
The illuminations were very brilliant,
and the whole affair passed off in way
which indicated a successful celebration
during the coming week.

BERLIN, Sept. 5.-[Copyrighted, 1890,
by the New York Associated Press. i
Emperor William, General Won Moltke,
General Won Goltze, Count Waldersee,
Archduke Stephen and Admiral Stern
eek, of the Austrian navy, today watched
on board the flagship Baden, the ma
neuvers of the fleet in Flensburger ford.
The opinions of experts, both British
and Austrian, concur as to the admirable
condition of this German feet, and the
wonderful development of the
navy. Public interest in the
maneuvers is slight, but the
Emperor has kept attention centered
upon his movements by suggestive utter
ances at official banquets, obviously
aiming to proclaim steadfast adhesion to
the Austrian alliance. The Reichsanzi-
ger publishes an official version of his
speeches, which is calculated to soothe
the Austrian jealousies arising over the
Peterhof interview, and prepare the way
for a conference with Emperor Francis
Joseph during the maneuvers in Sile-
sia.
Government circles are agitated over
the new project for the reform of the
Herrenhaus, initiated by the emperor
under the instigation of Herr Miguel.
1t is the intention of the government to
so reOrganize the Herrenhaus as to de-
stroy the conservative majority in that
house who are hostile to the reforms
proposed by his majesty. One report is
that the ministers approve still more
the radical scheme of recognizing
the house on basis akin to modern
ideas of senatorial representation. In
connection with this reform Herr Mig
uel and Herr Furth have prepared bill
which proposes the abolition of the seig-
norial privileges still possessed
by land owners in East and
West Prussia, Brandenberg, Pomera-
MIA, Posen, Salisia and Prussian
Saxony, by which the local elections are

FRENCH DUELISTS.

Rochefort Taps Thiebaud's Claret in
Three Places.
PARIS, Sept. 6.-After four unsuccess-
full attempts to fight duel ON account of
differences arising from the Boulanger
revelations, Rochefort and Thiebaud
this morning succeeded in having an en-
counter at Laclinge, Holland. Thiebaud
was wounded slightly in the thigh.
From later dispatches it appears that
the combatants fought fiercely for twelve
minutes. Rochefort displayed great
agility. Thiebaud received three
wounds, one each in the right temple,
right cheek and right thigh. After his
third wound, the doctors ordered the
fight stopped. Thiebaud went to Brus-
sells, where he is confined to bed. His
wounds, however, are not serious.

HIS SCALP MISSING,
A Section FOreman's Hair Raised by
ROllicking Redskins.

PORTLAND, Ore, Sept. 6.-Word was
received here this morning that John
Wolverine, a section foreman ON the
Northern Pacific railroad, was knocked
down and scalped by two drunken
Indians near Hope station, few miles
east of here, yesterday evening VOL
vertine was walking along the track near
the station when he was met by two
Indians, one of whom he recognized as
John Deer. The redskins seemed con-
siderably under the influence of liquor,
and Wolverine turned aside to let them
pass. They stopped him, however, and
asked him for whiskey. He replied
that he had none, when Deere struck
him blow over the head with club.
When Wolverine came to his senses,
some time after, he found his scalp miss
ing. He managed to crawl to saloon
some distance away, where he was taken
in and cared for. Railroad men today
confirmed the report, and say that VOL
vertine is in very critical condition.
The Indians escaped.

ANOTHER COLLISION.
Thirty or More Passengers Painfully
Injured on the HOusatonic Road.

SOUTH NoRwALK, Conn, Sept. 6.-The
Boston express this evening struck
suburban train on the Danbury and
Norwalk branch of the Housatonic road
in this city, and badly damaged it, be-
sides shaking up and painfully injuring
thirty or more passengers; none of them
were dangerously hurt. Every physi-
clan in the city was summoned to care
for the injured, and the patients are all
doing nicely. From all that can be
learned the blame seems to fall upon
the head of the draw tender, who,
failed to give the signal for danger.

some time elapsed before he was tried.
The supreme court holds that it was
mandatory that the prisoner should get
speedy trial; and ordered the court
below to dismiss the case for failure to
bring him to speedy trial. This will
enable many prisoners in the county
jail to obtain their liberty, as many OF
them have been in the jail awaiting
