HORRORS.
Five Men Killed on the Den-
yer Sc Rio Grande.
THIRTY-SEYEN WERE INJURED
A Large Number of People In
jured at Cleveland. One of
Them Fatally.

DENVER, Sept. 6.-The most serious
accident which has happened on the Rio
Grande railway for years occurred Tour
miles east of Florence at 8 o'clock TINS
morning. Sections 1 and 2 of freight
No. 81 left Pueblo at 3 o'clock for the
West. The first section had attached
passenger coach loaded with forty-seven
laborers, bound for Tennessee Pass and
the southwestern extension of the road.
The first section had either stopped in
the cut near Florence, or had greatly re-
duced their speed when the second sec
ton, the engineer of which was pre-
vented from seeing the head sec
ton by sharp turn in the cut,
dashed into the coach, tearing
it into q thousand pieces, and throwing
debris, wounded and dead onto the
Santa Fe track, a few feet away. Twelve
loaded freight cars ahead OF the coach
were derailed, and were completely
wrecked. None of the train men we're
injured.
Those who escaped from the car un-
injured, together with some of the cit'
zens of Florence, were soon at work
taking the injured and dead from the
wreck. As the coach was lying oy
itself and not under any other cars, IT
was with but little difficulty that the
men were taken out and conveyed TO the
depot, which was turned into tempor-
AIRY hospital.
OF the forty-se men known to
have been sleeping in the car, five were
killed instantly and thirty'seven
wounded. Physicians from Canyon
City and Pueblo arrived in a very short
time on special trains and gave the
wounded all the attention possible Inc
injured were taken to the companys
hospital at Salida tonight, and two OF
the men are not expected to live until

NATTER OF BUSINESS.

The Lynchburg and Bedford City
newspapers are now engaged in
heated controversy and ii is becoming
interesting.
The Bedford papers claim that the
Lynchburg papers do not give enough
space to the news Of their booming
town, and the latter say that they are
not patronized sufficiently to devote
more space TO Che subject than they
now do.
Itlooks TO US as if the Bedford pa
pers do not properly understand the
distinction existing between news and
advertising. They should not expect
newspaper to fill its columns with
reading matter, booming their town,
without pay. No business newspaper
does that, andno paper could do it and
live.
The Advance states the case very
plainly in Its reply TO the charge:
we pay our correspondents for
what they write to the Advance, and
we pay them to send Us the news for
our general readers, and not to pull
mp private enterprises, or land and
Improvement specializing schemes OF
Joint stock companies at oar expense.
we always cut out al; such gratui-
tous puiFs, and instruct our cores
pondentS never TO insert them IN
their communications. If any such
private enterprises need pulling let
them Fave it done at their OWN option
and expense. and not at that Of the
newspapers. The Bedford Index and
Democrat may periodically indulge
in such waste of paper and printer 5
ink in matters OF that sort, but
neither the Advance nor any other
business newspaper il the country
lends their news columns to any such
thing. We have news column and
an advertising column in this paper
We pay for what goes into the one,
and those who want to advertise in
the other must do the same thing.
This is, in our opinion, good sense
we'll put. Newspapers are not ex-
pected by the business community to
give advertising for nothing. 1t takes
money to pay editors, reporters and
compositors, to buy paper and ink and
pay rent. Publishing newspaper IS, to
a certain extent, matter OF business.
When its proprietors want anything
they buy it and pay ior it, and when
anyone wants anything in The shape Of
advertising from a newspaper they
must expect to do the same thing.
