Spikes Drawn from Rails and Central Pa
cifc Train Hurled Over an Embankment.

SACRAMENTO. CAL. Oct l2-The fast
west-bound express of the Central Pacific.
which passed Colfax early this morning on
its way to this city. was wrecked about
midway between New England Mills aud
Colfax. The train passed through a deep
cut and out on to an embankment which
had been thrown up TO preserve the grade.
Engineer EstabroOk did not detect any
thing till the first two cars were slightly
deraIled. The baggage car and two
coaches remained on the track, but the
four PuiImans and caboOse left the track.
The Pullman sleeper Santa Cruz turned
on its side and rolled down the embank-
ment for fifty feet before its progress was
stopped. In the sleeper were ten passen-
gers. all asleep Mt the time of the crash.
They were all hurled about In a ruthless
fashion. but escaped with lively shaking
up. the only person seriously injured being
the c0lorod porter OF the Santa Cruz.
Investigation showed that an attempt
had been made to wreck the tram. Spikes
hn6 been drawn from seven of the outside
rails on the outer edge of the embsnkment,
Just at q point where the track makes q
curve. No spot better adapted TO the plot
could have been selected, and it was evil
IDENTIFY selected in the hope that the engin-
eer, fireman and employees In the baggage
and mail cars would be killed as soon IS
the forward part of the train struck the
loosened rails. Then tho cars could be
looted. and as they carried o great quantity
of mail the plunder would have been very
profitable. 1t was also found that the
angle plate used to strap the rails together
had been pried OIL and iammed under
the rail. The passengers in one of
the coaches caught q glimpse of one of the
would-be robbers AS be rushed of. Rail-
road detective True is engaged in securing
for the perpetrators. The Dalton gang are
supposed by many to have had hand In it.
The passengers were transferred and
brought TO Sacramento. Much harm was
done to the road bed and rolling stock, and
it was strange that no lives were lost. The
track is now clear and trains are runnin z
on time.
Among those injured were Mrs. Schenck,
of Denver, who had her forehead cut;
George Pritchard. of Missouri, confusion
over the eye; {. COggswell, Newark. n. j.,
confusion of the back. The Southern Pa
citic company has offered q reward OF $1,000
each tor the arrest and conviction of the
party or parties implicated in causing the
der0ilment.

Court of the United States met for the 90.
tober term to-day. Three of the justices
were absent from the court. hief-justce
Fuller As still In Chicago where his daugh-
ter Is very i'll, and Justices Bradley and
Gray have both been Ill, but are now re-
covering. The space reserved for the bar
was well filled with prominent lawyers.
Attorney general Miller. Solicitor ge neral
Taft and ex-Attorney- general Garland were
also present. The only business transacted
was the admission of applicants to practice
before the court and another announcement
b. Justice Field that the most important
of the cases advanced for argument next
Monday were postponed until the second
Monday III November. This step is taken
for the reason that it is desired that they
shall be heard by a full bench, and the
probability is that ail the justices will not
be present Monday next. The list includes
the Sayward case, which involves the ques-
tion of the Jurisdiction of the United States

cases involving the question of the con-
