New York, September 9.-The Cuban
junta in this city has received the first
report from Secretary Gonzales d'Ques-
ada, who with Treasurer Benjamin j..
Guerrero is visiting the Cuban revolu-
tionary clubs in Mexico. According to
the report, the people of Mexico are in
strong sympathy with the Cubans. The
recent large contributions to the Cuban
revolutionary funds by Mexlcans are,
according to Mr.. Quesada, the most elo,
quent testimony of their devotion to the
cause of Cuban independence.

Thirty Killed in "A Wreck.

Newcastle, Col, September 1.-THE
worst wreck in the history of Colorado
occurred at 1925 yesterday morning on
the track of the Denver and Rio Grande
and the Colorado Midland railways
about one and one-half miles west of
here. After twelve hours incessant
work by the wrC cking crews in clearing
away the debris and rescuing the bod
les of those who persisted, 1t is yet i'm
possible to secure more than an esti-
mate of the loss of life, and not even
those known to be dead have been iden-
tilted. Many of the unfortunates never
win be known, and 1t is possible that
the number killed will always be in
doubt. From the best information OBJ
tainable now, fully thirty persons are
believed to have persisted, while 1So
were taken out of the wreckage suffer
ing from serious injuries.

Pigs Put on Trial.

In medieval times 1t was not I'M
common to put animals on trial for
their life. The animal which most fire.
luently came before the criminal
courts was the pig. At Mesnil St.
Denis, near Paris, there still exists a
spot called Truye Pendue, after a SOW
which was once hanged there for kill
ing an infant, and about twenty similar
cases are recorded in France alone.
Thus, in 1886, the magistrates of Fal-
aise condemned pig to have its snout
and one leg cut oil and then be hanged
sor having killed an infant and eaten
part Of its face and arm. The pig was
executed in the market place dressed
IN human apparel, and the executioner
received ten deniers and new glove
as his fee.
The following is the statement of ex-
oense sent to the bailiff of Nantes in
March. 14O3, for the execution of a SOW
which had killed baby:
For her expenses while
in goal. ..............6 soils, Partisan
item to the hangman
who came from Paris
to make said execu
ton ...............24 soils.
item, for the cart which
took her to the gal
lows .................6 soils.
item, for coiGs to tie
and drag her. ........2 soils deniers
items, for gloves. ......2 deniers
In all these cases the animal was
duly arrested, imprisoned, tried an:
condemned with every legal Formally

Beeville, Texas, September 9.-Quite

Delfina, Texas, September 1.-THE
Rio Grande has been on a rampage for
over two weeks, and all the bottom
lands from Rio Grande City to Browns
VILE are under water. The river road Is
impossible, and has been for many
days. and communication with river
points is entirely cut off except by
boats and launches.
Hidalgo, the county seat of this
county, is entirely surrounded by wa
ter, but the worst will come when the
flood subsidies.
For many years the river has been
playing havoc with the Texas bank
Immediately in front of Hidalgo, and
all trace of the old town that existed
fifteen years ago has long since been
obliterated by erosion. Year by year
he river has encroached and the town
forced back. In 1888 many fine and
substantial buildings We're erected,
among them splendid court house
and jail which cost the county over
$50. 200, Mt n point where it was then
supposed il was perfectly safe from
the cratic Rio Grande. But now the
public buildings are in immediate
danger. From latest reports 1t is al
most certain that the erosion Will
reach the site of DR.. A. l.. Edwards
comfortable residence, which Is COM
paratively new and by far the best
ana most substantial in town.

Kansas City, Mo-, September "a
special to the Times from Emporla
Kan says:
One of the worst wrecks IN the his
tory of the Santa Fe railroad occurred
three miles east Of here about 1870
o'clock last night. Twelve or fifteen
persons were killed, and as many were
badly hurt.
The fast mail going east and the
Mexican and California express going
westbound had n hoad-eud collision.
The Mexican and California express
was pulled by two locomotives, and
when they struck the engine drawing
the fast mail. the boilers of all three
engines exploded and tore hole in the
ground so deep that the smoking car Of
the westbound train went in on top of
the three engines and two mail cars,
and balanced there without turning
over The passengers in the smoking
car escaped through the windows. The
front end of this car was Cnveloped in
a volume of Sitting smoke and steam,
belching up from the wreck below, and
the rear door was jammed tight tn the
wreck of the car behind.
The wreck caught fire from the en-
gines. The cars in the hole and the
smoking car burned to ashes in no time.
In climbing out of the smoking car sew
eral men fell through the riffs in the
wreck below. and it is impossible to tell
whether they escaped or burned to
death.
ed many persons who had been to hear
The westbound train carried seven or
eight coaches, and its passengers includ-
Hon. W. j. Bryan speak at the county
fair at Burlingame. Mr.. Bryan himself
was on the train, but was riding in the
rear Pullman, some 400 feet from the
cars which We're wrecked. He states
that nothing but a heavy jolt was eX-
perienced by the passengers in his
coach.
Mr.. Bryan was one of the noblest men
in the party of rescuers. He helped to
carry out the dead and wounded, and
gave the greatest attention to their care.
One poor fellow who was badly MANNED
called to Mr.. Bryan and said: II went to
hear you today; l am dying now, and
want to shake your hand and say God
bless you. If you possibly can Mr.. Bry'
an, get me drink of water"
Mr.. Bryan went into the fast mail car,
one end of which was burning, and
came out with the water, which he
gave to the suffering passenger. He
brought out cushions for others of the
injured, and was everywhere present
to minister to the wants of the suffer
ing.
1t IS stated that the wreck was caused
by n miscarriage of orders from the
trainmaster. At Emporia the eastbound
fast mail train received orders to pass
the California express at Lang, seven
miles east. Another order was sent to
lang for the California express to take
the siding there, but this order was
not delivered, and the westbound train
passed ON, the tranmen expecting tC
pass the fast mail at Emporia. These
two are the fast trains on the Santa
Fe system, and the westbound trair
must have been running at a speed OF
at least forty miles an hour. The west
bound express was going around q
slight curve. OF the seven OF eight cars
making up the Mexican and California
express, only the mail and baggage ca
nd express and smoking cars were de
stroyed. The coach following the smok
ing car was badly splintered.

VISITS HIS OWN CRAVE.
A Kansas Postmaster who played
Postum"

A Kansas Postmaster who "Played
Postum"
On July 16 the assistant postmaster
general appointed A. w. Hall postmas-
ter at the village of Trading Post, this
county, says La Cygne (Kas) CORE
spondent in st. Louis Post-Dispatch.
The only remarkable thing about this
transaction Is that, according to the
war department records, Mr.. Hall is
dead and the government has dis
charged its obligation toward him by
placing tombstone over the place
where he is supposed to be buried.
The town Of Trading Post is within
three miles of the Missouri state line.
During the war Mr. Hall, then young
man, enlisted in the union army and
saw considerable irregular service
lighting the bushwhackers. who
swarmed over the country and terror
lied the inhabitants. One day COM
pany of ten soldiers, of whom Hall was
one, and an officer were detailed from
a company OF scouts to cross the state
line and forage for provisions, the
Kansas settlers having been pillaged
until nothing was left. Hardly had
they crossed the line before 100 bush
whackers swooped down upon and
captured them. Without a moments
hesitation the captain of the guerrillas
ordered their execution. They were
taken to the summit of a large mound
about mile west of the line and shot
down like dogs. Hall fell with the rest
shot through the head, but did not lose
consciousness, and heard his execu-
TONERS discuss the advisability OF
wasting another round of ammunition
Large numbers of union men were in
the vicinity and the marauders made
haste to recross the line and seek safe
ty farther east.
Hall was found by friends, was TAX.
en- care of and recovered, but was re.
ported as killed to tne war depart
ment. To this day he is known over
the country as Postum" Hall. Hi:
dead comrades were buried about two
miles from Trading Post, and few
years ago the government erected {
slab to mark the graves, bearing Mr.
Halls name, in au~-.-Jn to those O
the dead soldiers.
Thus 1t happens that If the postmas
ter so desires he can ride out and visi
his own grave and read the record O
his death.

County Authorities Called on.

Austin, Texas, September 11.-Dr.
Swearingen returned yesterday from
the quarantine station on the Sabine
river, at the crossing of the Southern
Pacific railroad, where he placed Dr.
Blount in charge. In the evening DR..
Swearingen sent the following to all
the county judges and commission
ers courts of the counties on the
Louisiana border:
The prevalence OF yellow fever in
the Mississippi valley makes 1t neces-
sary that stringent measures be insti-
tuted at once to prevent the introduce
ton of the disease into Texas. The
small amount of money at my dispo-
sal renders it impossible for me to
guard all danger points and respect
fully suggest that your honorable
court declare local quarantine against
all places now infected or that may
hereafter become infected by yellow
fever, and that your county physician
be instructed to place guards ON all
dirt roads entering the State from
Louisiana. Tie State will guard the
railroad crossings. Let the guards
be Instructed to conform to the gem
eral proclamation of quarantine,
which l think will be more effective
and less annoying than the old shot
gun quarantine. Please notify me of
the name and postoffice address of
your county physician, that l may be
able to keep him thoroughly posted.
