wreck Took Fire and Many Pas

Before Help Could Reach Them
Carelessness Was the Cause.

Newcastle, Colo, Sept. IL. - The.
worst wreck in the history of Colorado.
occurred on the track Of the Denver t.
Rio Grande and the Colorado Midland
railways, one and half miles west
Of here. After twelve hours of inces-
SAINT work by the wreclzing crews in
clearing away the debris and rescu~
ing the bodies Of those who persisted,
it is yet impossible to secure more
than an estimate Of the loss of life,
and not even those known to be dead
have been identified. Many of the IN
fortunates will never be known, and
it is possible that the number killed
will always be in doubt. From the,
best information obtainable now fully
thirty persons are believed to have
persisted, while 1S5 are taken out Of
the wreck suffering from serious in
juries.
The wreck was caused by a head
end collision between a Denver Il
Rio Grande passenger train running
at the rate of forty miles an hour,
and a special Colorado Midland stock
train running at a speed of probably
thirty miles. So terrific was the COD
cussion that both engines, baggage
and express cars smoker and day
coaches and two stock cars were to-
tally demolished and the track torn
up for rods in both directions. TO add
to the horror of the scene the wreck
caught fire from an explosion of a gas.
tank on the passenger train and
burned so rapidly that many passen-
gers pinned beneath the debris were
burned to death before help could
reach them. The most generally &C.
cepted theory as to the cause of the
wreck seems to be that Conductor
Burbank, Of the Midland special, an
ticipating the time of the passenger,
undertook to "steal a station" and
beat the passenger into Newcastle.
Burbank escaped uninjured, and upon
orders from Coroner Clark has been
placed under arrest by the sheriff.
Midland Engineer Ostrander is MISS
ing and a thorough search all about
his engine fails to reveal any vestige
of his remains. It is thought that
when he saw the danger he jumped
from his engine, and, realizing his
negligence, took to the hills. Mr.. and
Mrs. e. H. Strouse, who live a quarter
of mile from the scene Of the acct
dent report that when the two trains
met the shock was SO great as to
literally hurl them out of bed. Some
say the noise was heard and the shock
felt in Newcastle.

1t has been proposed to celebrate the
consolidation Of the cities at the mouth
OF the Hudson into the greater city of
New York by the erection of a steel
tower more than two thousand feet
high-twice the height of the Eiffel
tower. Such a monument would be
Big of course, but it would be strik-

A city which could bring itself to erect
such structure in honor of it's crea-
ton could never be remarkable for any
thing but mere size.
