MANY WENT TO DEATH.
All the Cars, the Crew and
Several Tramps Fell Fifty
Feet.
AN AGED TREsTLE COLLAPSED.
Three Weeks Ago Workmen We're
Put to the Task Of Rebuilding
the Structure.

DENVER, CoLo., July ia most ap-
palling accident occurred on the Santa Fe,
near Monument, at II o clock this morning.
Local freight train No. 46, consisting of
twenty cars heavily laden with lumber and
stone, plunged through the bridge quar-
ter of mile west of that place, burying
beneath the debris the train crew, a num-
Der of tramps and several bridge carpen-
ters, who were at work repairing the
bridge.
Wreckage crews were quickly dispatched
from Denver and Pueblo, and special
train was sent out from Colorado Springs
with physicians, and these with the citi-
zens of Monument worked heroically until
late hour this evening rescuing the dead
and injured. Fully $50 feet of the trestle
went down with the train.
The killed: Jim Childers, foreman bridge
gang; Mrs. Cooper, wife of stationary en-
gineer; unknown tramp.
Fatally injured: Mark Winchers, en-
gineer freight train; D. N. Irby, brake
man.
Seriously iniured-James Neal. Charles
Haley. Frank Shaw, Wallace Cooper,
Charles Van Merter, Tom Smith and Joe

way; j. W. Cole, G. C. Carpenter, Thomas
Stenhouse and Charles Sargent.
The dead were taken to Colorado
Springs. where Coroner's inquest will be
held. The wounded were also removed to
Colorado Springs and placed in hospitals
there.
As the engine neared the south end, the
workmen underneath saw the bridge rock
and shouted an alarm to their comrades.
Before the danger could be realized the
engine and twenty cars came crashing
through, burying those who could not get
out of the way beneath the crushing
weight.
Mrs. Albert Cooper, wife of the engineer
of the bridge gang, was sitting in shaded
place under the bridge. Her husband
shouted to her, but the noise of the cars
drowned his voice.
The bridge was across gulch quarter
of mile from town. 1t was fifty feet high
and about 800 feet long. 1t has been a
source of anxiety to the townspeople, and
when, three weeks ago, a gang of work
men was sent here to rebuild the bridge,
a great relief was experienced by the
people.
1t will be several days before repairs can
be made that will permit the passage of
trains.

nine MINERS IMPRISONED
Disastrous Cave-In and Prob
able Loss of Life in
Michigan.
Those Penned In by the Debris Yet
Live and Men Are Digging
to the Rescue.

IRON MOUNTAIN, Mich, July IA
disastrous cave-in, with a probable loss of
life, occurred on the first level of the Pew
abic iron mine late this afternoon. Nine
miners were imprisoned by the cave-in
and it is feared some of them were crushed
to death.
The fall of heavy rock, carrying with it
the timbers of the chamber, came without
warming. The disaster occurred just after
the bell had rung for the men to quit
work, and fortunately most of the miners
had reached the surface.
A large rescue crew went to work at
once, but their progress through the mass
of broken rock and timber, which is forty
feet deep, is necessarily slow. 1t will be
fully twelve hours before passage can be
cleared and the imprisoned miners
reached. The fact that some of the un-
fortunate miners were still alive was soon
established.
Shortly after the rescuers began work on
the big pile of debris, faint knockings were
heard on the air pipe which connects with
the room in which the men were inn
prisoned This spurred the rescuers to
greater energy, and the work Will be
pushed all night.
Of the men imprisoned two are Scandl-
navians. two Cornishmen and five are ltal-
ians. The names of but three of them
have been ascertained. They are John
Johnson, Stephen Bowden and Frederick
Mebb. 1t is not known how many OF the
imprisoned miners are alive, but the mine
officials believe all the men will be found
safe and well. The monetary loss will be
heavy.

Il Thrilling Snake Story for WheeEsne,,
of the World.

BARLOW, FLA, July 17-Josiah Muir
daugh and two companions were riding on
their bicycles near here to-day when Muir
daugh saw monster rattlesnake in front
of him. He drove his bicycle over the
snake but the reptile managed to twine
itself about the spokes of the rear wheel
and proceeded to strike Murdaugh in the
back. At every revolution of the wheel,
the snake would strike viciously at the
rider. Murdaugh's shorritied companions
screamed to him, and the rider, shrieking,
'tI am bit," tumbled off the wheel in a
faint.
His companions came up and found that
the snake had been striking the broad
leather belt that Murdaugh wore about his
body. The snakes last stroke had been so
powerful that it couldn't withdraw it's
fangs from the belt, and the reptile was
found thrashing its tail about Murdaugh's
legs. The snake was killed and Murdaugh
revived, but he was deathly sick from fright

WILL Get HER DIVORCE,
Mrs. Corbett Presents Proofs
of Her Husbands
Infidelity.
Champion Jim May Have to Con-
tinue Contributing One Hun
dred Week.

NEW YORK, N. Y, July 1.-THE suit
of Mrs. Ollie Corbett for absolute divorce
upon the statutory grounds from her hus-
band, James J. Corbett, the champion
heavyweight pugilist of the world, came
up again this morning before Referee Ed
ward Jacobs. Mrs. Corbett was on hand.
She looked cheerful and chatted and
laughed with Mr.. Hummel, her lawyer, in
an animated fashion. Mr.. Hummel had
an extract from Cincinnati paper telling
of the visit of the pugilist and Mrs. Cor
bett to that city on April % last. Mrs.
Corbett says she was in New York City at
this particular time and it was ''Vera"
who was with her husband and passed as
his wife.
Miss King was again called and testified
that she heard Mr.. Corbett introduce
Vera as his wife, and saw other acts of
undue familiarity between Corbett and
Vera, as well as registering at Corning,
Ohio, as man and wife.
Mr.. Hummel then announced that he
had been directed not to produce the separ-
alton papers, as they contained matters
which were not necessary for publication.
He asked that if the referee should direct
that Mrs. Corbett was entitled to an abso-
lutte divorce, that $100 a week, the same
sum as allowed in the separation papers,
should be allowed to her by Corbett during
the term of her natural life.
Lawyer Sullivan offered no objection to
this. Then Mr.. Hummel asked that the
hearing be adjourned until Friday, July
26, in order that he might apply for a row.
ing commission to get evidence of Cor
belts improper acts in Pittsburg and Gin
cinnati. The referee accordingly ad-
journed the case to that date.

CATTLE VEIL INSPECTED.
There Is No Necessity of Local Inspec

KANSAS CITY, Mo-, July ia COM
mittee representing the Kansas City Live
Stock Exchange appeared before the Mayor
and Council of Kansas City, kans., and en-
tered protest against the appointment OF
livestock and meat inspector for that
city. This committee explained that the
force of inspectors OF the United States
Bureau of Animal Industry and of the
Kansas Sanitary Board were giving the
most rigid inspection to beef and there was
no necessity for local inspector. Under
the present system it was maintained that
it was impossible for diseased animals to
get to the packing or slaughter houses or
to be loaded on cars for shipment to other
markets.
The Mayor and Council discussed the
question at length, but no action was
taken.

JACKSONVILLE, ILL, July 17.-For
about an hour to-day this locality expert
enced one of the heaviest downpours of rain
ever known. The rain was accompanied
by strong wind and hailstones as large
as hickory nuts. In the city small damage
was done, while six miles west of here,
at Markham. on the Wabash Railroad, the
storm was more furious. That vicinity
was visited by veritable cloudburst, and
the wind blew perfect gale, demolishing
trees, fences and small buildings. The
telegraph wires were all prostrated. But
meager reports have been received up to
this evening, but it is not thought many
lives were lost, though many narrow es-
capes from injuries are reported.
