sons Injured, and Some May Die.
DENVER, COL, Sept. 14.-Passenger
train No. 314, bound toward Denver on
the Graymont division of the Union
Pacific railway, was wrecked Sunday
morning about II o'clock near Beaver
Brook station and twenty-six pas
sengers were injured, five of
whom will probably die. The
train was late and running rap
idly and when rounding a sharp
curve the express car left the track and
rolled down a 15-foot embankment.
1t was followed by the mail and two
passenger coaches, one of which turned
over twice before reaching the bottom.
The train was loaded with passengers,
many of whom were knights of
pythias who were returning from
the knights of pythias state conven'
ton which was held at Aspen last
week. When the news reached Golden,
Col, wrecking train was ordered out
and was starting when Robert Pruin,
an employe of the road, attempted to
board the engine. In doing SO his
revolver fell from his hip pocket,
the hammer striking stone,
and the weapon was discharged,
the ball taking effect in the mans
neck, making a wound which will re-
suit fatally. Those seriously injured
in the wreck were left at Golden in the
hands of physicians, while those not
badly hurt were brought to this city
and taken to their homes or the hos
pitfalls. It is not known exactly what
caused the wreck, but as the track was
a narrow gauge and the coaches very
top heavy it is thought that the train
was running too rapidly for safety.
A passenger train on the Colorado
Central railroad was wrecked at noon

Gathering War Clouds.

CoNsTANT1NoPLE, Sept. IA detach-
ment of blue jackets and marines from
British ironclad, accompanied by a
battery of light field pieces and several
Gatling guns, was landed yesterday at
Sigri, on the island of Mitylene, for
merly occupying that place in the name
of the queen of England.
There is a good harbor at Sigri, and
it is supposed that the British naval
officer at Mitylene intends to fortify
the island and to make it coaling sta
ton and rendezvous for the British
Mediterranean fleets. Sigri is on the
coast of Mitylene and is about sixty
miles from the mouth of the Dardanel-
