CURED at fve O'Clock yesterday morn
ing on the Santa Fe road, two miles
north Of this station. Seven dead bod
les have been recovered from the
wreck and 1t Is feared that the other
victims are buried beneath the debris.

sion of the boiler Of the locomotive.
The engineer should have stopped for
water at Usage City. but being behind
time, he endea vored to run to the next
tank. Though 1t is not positively
known, the engineer and fireman hav-
ing both met death In the wreck. 1t is
surnised that this neglect was the
cause OF the disaster. The train had
proceeded but two miles beyond this
place, about to the Peterson coal
chutes, when two terrific explosions
were heard, one following close after
the other.
The locomotive was completely shat
tered. The express. baggage and pas
senger coaches that were ahead were
piled up in heap Of wreckage. The
coaches In the rear escaped serious in
Jury.
The wreck was marked by scenes Of
the widest confusion among the terri
fed passengers. The nerves of many
were at a high pitch as result Of
their experience with the road agents
Of New Mexico and when the crash
came the first impression Of nearly all
was that the train had been attacked
by robbers. One passenger, William
Becker of Los Angeles, California, en-
route to Chicago seemed to lose his
reason entirely. When the crash came
he drew a single barreled pistol from
his pocket, and, in the presence of
car full of terrified passengers. took
his own life. sending bullet into his
brain. Becker had been drinking
heavily. He was about IS years OF
age.
Owing to the excitement and confus-
ion, little could be done to rescue the
Injured and remove the bodies of the
dead until the mornings sun appeared.
Seven bodies were finally recovered.
The dead are:
william Becker, Los Angeles, Calf.
Engineer Strump. Topeka. Kansas.
Fireman Harry Hollister, Topeka.
William McAdams, tramp, riding on
baggage car, and supposed to be from
ChfllOcothe, Iowa.
Among those injured are:
Mrs. Emma Maxwell, an editor on
the Evening Telegram, Colorado
Springs, hands and arms cut and bruis-
ed.

were seriously injured.

BUFFALO, Sept. 16. The Demo-
cratic State convention was called to
order by Chairman Hmckley of the
State Committee. State Senator
Thomas F. Grady was elected Tenn
porary Chairman. He addressed the
convention saying:
@As loyal representatives Of the
Democratic constituencies you have
assembled again to declare your faith
in the Democratic principles, your re-
spect Tor Democratic authority and
your confidence in Democratic sue
cess. In this respect you differ from
some, who were for many year ascot
ated with you. using their, profession
OF Democracy as mask under which
to conceal the purely selfish character
OF their political actions and who are
now leagued with your political op-
ponent. denouncinR Democratic prin-
ciples. defying Democratic authority
and aiding, in 80 far as they may, to
defeat the Democratic candidates. 1t
is a sham Democracy which submits
to the will Of the majority only when
no selfish interest is effected or sacri-
feed by 80 doing. 1t il a sham Dem
cracy which sets up the opinions of a
few as entitled TO control because Of
the wealth or culture or pedigree OF
those by whom such opinions are held
1t 10 10 sham Democracy which has
for its purpose undue enrichment Of
the man, who relies for support upon
what his money earns for him and
consequent unjust impoverishmeut of
the citizen who depends upon what
his labor may be able to earn. II IL
a sham Democracy which yesterday
asked for bimetallic star lard upon
a single condition Of international
agreement, and to-day confesses such
declaration was only q subterfuRe
with which to deceive those honestly
favoring such a standard, and that at
the time its purpose was TO estab.
lish and maintain the supremacy OF
gold"
