It is reported that the body Of an
Italian child is under the wreck, but
this has notbe confirmed.
The cause of the accident has not
been definitely ascertained, but 1t is
believed to have been due to spreading
rails. The engine left the track on a
sharp curve and was hurled against a
rocky hill. All of the cars except the
dining car and the Richmond sleeper

overturned, Engineer Duke was hurled
from the cab and crushed under the
engine, besides being terribly scalded
by escaping steam. He was rescued

Asleep ut His Post.


A case Of alleged criminal negli-
gence has developed on the new Kansas
City, Pittsburg and Gulf Railroad
which will lead to an official investiga-
ton at Shreveport. Passengers arriv-
ing on the Kansas City limited and
agents Of the company admit the re.
port that the engineer was asleep at
bis post while his train rushed through
De quincy, the Junction point OF the
Port Arthur and Lake Charles branch
es, at the rate Of thirty miles an h our.
Port Arthur passengers say that while
their train was standing on the siding
at De Quincy waiting for the through
train from Kansas City, that train went
by the station at speed Of twenty.
FIVE or thirty miles an hour and didn't
stop until Edgewood station was reach
ed, seven miles below. 1t appeared
that tho engineer did not awaken until
he was pulled into Edgewood. He
learned from the Waterman there that
he was at Edgewood instead Of De
Quincy, and backed his train to that
point. Fortunately the train from the
south had pulled iu and side tracked at
De Quincy before the one from the
north reached the junction, or there
would have been horrible collision
between the two trains. It is claimed
that the engineer was a new one on
this run.

wreck the bridge Of the Eureka h Kla.
msth River Railway across Mad River
Slough, says dispatch from Eureka,
Gal. A can containing ten pounds Of
blasting powder, with a fuse attached,
was placed on the bridge in such po-
sition that had it exploded it must
have destroyed the bridge or weaken
ed it so that the first train over would
have been wrecked. Dampness pre-
vented the fuse from igniting, aud the
bomb was found by the track walker
The attempt to wreck the bridge is at
tributei to spite work, as it should b.
