thrty-three men were injured, one or

Physicians are attending the injured
men, who have been taken to Salida.
The fireman and engineer of the col

The men on the runaway car did not try
to set the brakes on their car, because
they did not know it was running away.
They thought their train was being
drawn by their engine. Most of the in
juries are flesh wounds and bruises.

FITZ WILL FIGHT
But the Time Has Not Yet Been
Settled

CHICAGO, Dec. 19.-Martin Julian,
manager for Bob Fitzsimmons, stated
in an interview today that the lanky
champion had changed his mind and
will again meet Corbett in the prize ring.
Fitzsmmons was non-committal, refuS-
ing to confirm or deny the story and con-
tenting himself with declaring that he
has not said that he will fight Corbett
again. Julian's statement was suffic-
iently emphatic, however, to indicate
that he confidently expects the men to
meet again.
Some day before very long we will
give Corbett another chance he said.

long, how long l cannot say"
Asked if that was not concession on
the part of FitZsimmons, Julian replied
that 1t was not, as that idea had been
in the mind of Fitzsimmons for some
time.
1t is announced that Dan Stuart, who
managed the Carson City battle, will
meet Fitzsimmons and Julian here this

THE LAST RALLY
Pittsburg q. A. r. Men Want the
Enca nny,nenf


PITTSBURG, Pa, Dec. 19.-The ini-
tial step toward securing the G. A r.
encampment for Pittsburg in 1900 was
taken last night by the Allegheny Coun-
ty G. A. r. association, and the plan will
be agitated at the coming Cincinnati
encampment.
In connection with the encampment,
If it should be held here, it is proposed
to unveil a grand soldiers monument to
cost in the neighborhood of $500,000. The
G. A. r. encampment of 1895 passed an
act empowering each county to erect a
suitable soldiers monument at the ex-
pense of the citizens, the necessary
amount to be raised by taxation. 1t Is
believed by the veterans here that 1860
will be the last year for encampments.
1t Is their ambition, therefore, to have
the organization wind up its career in
this city and at the same time take part
in the dedication Of the proposed grand
memorial to the nations dead.
