DENVER, July 24.-The narrow-gauge
East-bound express from Salida, Col, on
the Denver IL Rio Grande, collided with
the broadgauge Salt Lake express going
west. few miles from Carlisle, early this
morning. The trains were running at
full speed, heavily loaded. The engines
and front coaches of both trains were
completely wrecked, and five persons
killed.
The killed were George A. Ardell, en-
gineer; \. II. Parros, conductor; c. NJ.
Cole, express messenger, and two un-
known tramps.
The seriously injured are: H. =. Null
nix, railroad contractor of Trinidad right
leg crushed so badly that it was ampu-
tated above the knee; B. Williams of Sa-
Ida, rib broken, back injured badly, and
bruised about the head; John Patton of
Pueblo, hip bruised and spine injured;
RufuS Robinson of Palermo, right leg
broken in two places and left leg in one
place,and bruised about the head and face;
Henry Gibberson, news agent on the
West-bound train, is the only one of the in
Jured that it is feared viii nOtrecover. His
left leg was badly crushed, and was am
putated below the knee, while he sus-
| tanned internal injuries, the extent of
which cannot be determined
Just how the accident occurred cannot
be learned, but it is supposed to be the
result of Conductor Parro's misunder-
standing the order. Only the engine and
| baggage-car of the train going west left
the track, but the one going east was the
| narrow gauge, and all were thrown from
the track and piled up in promiscuous
mass.
The body of George Ardell, the un-
fortunate engineer, is still under the
wreck. The injured were brought here
to the Sisters Hospital.

SAD AFFAIR.
A YOUNG MAN DROWNED IN
SIGHT OF HIS WIFE.
While in Bathing Near the Cliff House
He is Suddenly Seized
With Cramps.
Special to the REcoRD-UNrox.


SAN FRANCISCO, July 24.-This morn
ing gentleman named c. Schor, residing
at 96l Market street, accompanied by his
wife, visited the Cliff House to enjoy the
sights.
Mr.. Schor arrived here from Australia
only two weeks ago, and on his return
was to have taken home his wife. to
whom he was married but week ago in
this city.
The visit to the Cliff House was eagerly
looked forward to by Mr.. Schor, and on
reaching there this morning the water
was so calm and the weather so pleasant
that he concluded to go in bathing. He
went down to the beach a short distance
from the Cliff House and undressed, and
was shortly after sporting in the water.
His movements were watched by his
wife, and no thought of danger entered
her head. Suddenly she was startled by
seeing her husband apparently struggling
in the water. he sank out of sight and
she called for assistance No one was
close enough to hear her cries, and she
was powerless to render her husband any
help. She saw him appear again after
going down the first time, but after that
she remembers nothing. On coming to
the surface the second time he made a
feeble cry for help, but none was at hand,
and he was drowned in sight of his wife.
As soon as she could do so, Mrs. Schor
made haste to The Cliff House and in
formed the proprietor, Mr. Wilkins. of
what had occurred. He and gentleman
named Fisher of Los Angeles, immedi-
ately went TO the scene of the accident.
but could do nothing more than gather
up the clothes on the beach and carry
them back.
An effort was made to secure the body
by Mr.. Fisher, but it did not result sue
cessfully.
Mrs. Schor could not be comforted, and
was unable to give clear account of the
sad accident.
The opinion is general, however, that
Sehor was seized with cramps, and, hav-
ing got beyond his depth, was unable to
help himself and was drowned.

Congressionalists Fear the Coming of
the New Cruisers.
PANAMA, July PA great deal Of ex-
element has been occasioned here this
week by the news from France that the
new Chilean war-ships have been re-
leased. This, it is believed in Chilean cir
cles here, means the speedy termination
of the war and the triumph of Balmaceda.
He already possesses all the troops and
transports necessary to conduct vigor-
Gus campaign in the north, his trouble
hitherto having been the want Of ade-
quate protection for transports which
would have been promptly blown out of
the water by the heavy Congressional
ships. One large, well-equipped army
of the Dictator thrown upon the Con-
gressional soil must end the struggle 1t
is understood the Congressionalists are
actively engaged in an endeavor to pull
themselves together and strike a decisive
blow ere naval re-enforcements can ena-
BILE Balmaceda to turn the tables on them.
That they will be able to do this is, how
ever, very much doubted.

BRIDGEPORT, July 24.-S. B. Hopkins,

arrived here Tuesday evening, and i'm
mediately commenced taking testimony
III regard to the murder of All Quong
Tia, the Chinaman who was killed and
brutally chopped to pieces by the In

name OF Poker Tom, had cut his body in
pieces, had salted it down, and then had
1t cooked and fed the Indians on a por-
ton of 1t, which so exasperated them that
they cut and mutilated Tia's body in the
same manner that he had done that of the
Indian. 1t is generally understood that
the examination Of the witnesses is for the
purpose of laying the facts of the killing
before the Chinese Consul, Colonel Bee,
who has been requested by the Chinese
Government to investigate the affair
from here. Mr.. Hopkins will go to the
Walker River Reservation to learn who
OF the Indians were engaged in the muir
der. 1t is probable that a demand will
be made for the arrest and punishment
OF the Indian leaders.
