DISASTROUS WRECK.
Many Killed and Wounded in Il Col
lSiOn on the Santa Fe Road.
One of the Trains, and Assisted in
Caring for the Dead and
Wounded.

EMPoRIA, KAN, Sept. Sat least
twelve men were killed and ten or a
dozen injured in collision on the
Santa F1 Road tonight between the
fast mail going east and the Mexico
& California train going west. Hon.
w. J. Bryan was passenger on the
west-bOund train, but was in the
rear car, probably 400 feet from
where the wreck occurred. Mr..
Bryan was one of the most active
men in the crowd of rescuers. He
helped go through the wreck, BRAY
ing the most terrible dangers and
assisting in carrying out most of the
dead and wounded men and paying
the greatest attention to their care.
| His cool head was valuable in point
ing out dangers and directing how to
avoid them.
One man who was badly wounded
called for Bryan and said: II went
to hear you speak to-day; am dying
now, and / want to shake your hand
now and say God bless you. If you
possibly can, Mr.. Bryan, get me a
drink of water"
Mr.. Bryan went into the fast mail
car. the end of which was burning,
and secured him the desired drink
of water. He then went into a car
and brought out a cushion seat to
make a pillow for another dying
man. He was everywhere and
assisting everybody, and was per
fectly cool during all the terrible
scenes.
The train must have been running
at the rate of at least forty miles al
hour. The conductor and brake
men were getting their lanterns
ready for Emporia, which was three
miles off. There was no warning
signal. The westbOund train was

The last days of Professor Drummond

when visited by intimate friends and

His old friends, Professor G. A. Smith
and DR.. Stalker, were very attentive to
him. When the latter was leaving him
on the occasion of his last visit, Drum

which he had written The Descent Of
