A LUCKY ESCAPE.
Part of u. & II. &. Passenger Train
Goes Through a Burning Bridge
In RtO Arrtba County.

This marrow gauge Passenger traiu,
which left Denver Monday night for Du-
range, ran into burning bridge near
Navajo, not far from Lrmberton, Rio
Arriba county. After the engineer dis
covered the fire there was not sufficient
time to stop the train, but with presence
of mind he reversed the throttle, gave the
danger signal, and, just as the locomo.
tive struck the bridge the engineer, along
with the fireman, leaped to the ground,
the locomotive the next instance crash
ing through the burning structure and fall
ing in heap at the bottom. The mail
car was next and it piled on top of the
engine, the postal clerk having jumped
from the side door, otherwise his life
would have been in great danger.
The coupling between the mail and
baggage cars broke and the baggage and
other cars we're stopped by the air brake
before reaching the bridge, thus saving a
serious loss of life. The mail car, along
with it's contents, including both letter
and paper mail, was consumed by fire
and the locomotive suffered the same
fate, so far as the wood portion was con-
cerned.

Newspapers and Politicians.

Newspapers are becoming excessively
weary of helping to make great men out
OF 40 much pitifully poor material, and
of doing it at the command of party
bosses. This tendency on the part of the
newspapers will have a good result for
the people. II will cause the chronic
politician to either clothe himself with
more first-grade patriotism or take. a
back seat; to nomiuate, in conventions,
deserving and able men throughout, or
witness tho down fall of themselves and
those to whom they have engaged to de-
liver the goods of schemery and
spoil, and to witness, also, the mscar-
riage of the goods altogether. These
things will not affect the purer tenets,
principles and motives of parties, but
they will undo the self.keeplng, bold and
calculating schsmers, and do the news.
