WELL DESERVED PRAISE
Accorded Hon. s. III. Taylor by the Editor of the Warren Demo
 crat- News.

Editor F. H. Thomas is one Of the ablest editors in the State, and hi 5 paper, the Warrenx Bemocrat-News, is always flied with news, sensible editorials and interesting reading matter. He IS never lavish in his praise of distinguished men of the State, and hence, the following com pllment to the Hon. s. M. Taylor, of Pine Bluff, published in the Demo crat-News, has great weight, and shows that Bro. Thomas is willing and ready to give honor and praise where it is deserved:
 The address of welcome by Hon. Sam M. Taylor, on the occasion of the Labor Day celebration in Pine Bluff, Monday, was grand. His tribute to the engineer, the firemen, the brakesman, the conductor and the machinist-those men who handle the commerce aud, in whose hands are entrusted the lives of the people of this country was well beftting their noble callings.
 Arkansas has not in it's borders a more brainy, eloquent and admir- able man than Sam Taylor, and he does credit to every occasion where a public call is made upon his splen- did talents as an orator. He is an honor to the State.

HEAD END COLLISION ON THE
 RIO GRANDE ROAD.
Thirty Persons Killed and One Hundred and Eighty-Five Yak. en from the Wreck Suffer- ing from Serious h.
 jurles.

NEW CASTLE, Col, Sept. 18.-The worst wreck in the history of Colo rado occurred at 1l;25 this morning on the track Of the Denver ana Rio- Grande and the Colorado Midland railroads, one and half miles west of here After twelve hours inces- sant work by the wrecking crews in clearing away the debris and rescu- ing the bodies of those who perish ed, il is yet impossible to seeute more than an estimate of the loss of life and not even those known to be dead have been Identified Many of the unforunates never will be known and it is possible that the number killed will always be ill doubt.
 From the best information obtain able now fully thirty persons are believed to have perished, while 1S5 were taken out of the wreck suffer ing from serious injuries.
 The wreck was caused by q head- end collision between a Denver and Rio Grande passenger train running forty miles an hour and q special Colorado Midland stock train rum hing at speed of probably thirty miles.
 So terrific was the cOncussion that both engines, baggage and express cars, smoker and day coaches and two stock ears, were totally demol- ished and the track torn up for rods in both directions.
 To add to the horror of the scene the wreckage caught fire from an explosion of a gas tank on the pas senger train and burned so rapidly that many passengers pinned be- meath the debris W ere burned to death before help could reach them.
 The most generally accepted ori- gin as to the cause of the wreck seems to be Conductor Burbank, of the Midland special, anticipating the time of the passenger, undertook to "steal a station" and beat the passenger into New Castle. Bur- bank escaped nniDiured and upon orders from Coroner Clark, has been placed under arrest by the sheriff.

FIRED INTO TIE MOB
DEPUTIES KILL MANY sTRIK.
 ING MINERS,
Twenty to Thirty Fall Dead and About Forty Are Wounded Riot Act Read Be-
 fore the Firing.

HAzLEroN, Pa, Sept 1O.-The strike situation reached terrib.s crisis on the outskirts of Latimer this afternoon when a band of q pu. ties fired into an infuriated lt.e of miners. The men fell like Sc arlny sheep and the excitement since a#s been so intense that no accurate H.s- ures of the dead and wounded cis be obtained Reports ran from twenty to thirty odd killed and forty or more wounded One man counted thirteen corpses. Other bodies lie in the mountains between Latimer and Harleigh- Those who were not injured carried their dead and injured wounded friends into the woods and estimates are baffied.
 The strikers left Hazleton at 3:30 announcing their intention to go to Latimer. When this became known Q band of deputies was loaded on trolly car and carried across the mountain to the scene where the bloody conflict followed. On reach ing hatimer they drew up in line in the edge of the village just as the strikers reached there. Sheriff Martin went out to meet them. The men drew up sullenly and listened in silence until he had once more read the riot act. This finished, low muttering arose the foreigners and there was slight forward movement Tbe Sheriff then step- ped toward them in determined tone, orbidding them tofadvance. Some struck the Sheriff and the next moment there was command to the deputies to fire. The guns of the deputies instantly belehed forth terrible volley.

OUT ON. A STRIKE
Pine Bluff Laborers Not Satisfied With Wages of $l %
 Per Day.

The first Of the week the contrac- tor who is to grade and pave Main street, began work on his contract and was giving employment to about fifty laborers whom he was paying at the rate of S1 per day.
 Saturday morning these men, most of whom are negroes, threw down their picks and shoyels and declared that they would work no longer un- less MT. Talbort, the contractor, paid them $1.25 per day. This the contractor refused to do, saying that he is paying more for day labor in giving $1.00 per day than was GUS tomary in the city or country. The negroes refused to work, so Mr. Talbot, who has a large contract for street paving at Shreveport. La, and is employing many men there, telegraphed for laborers and these men will arrive here and begin V ork Monday. It does seem that there are enough idle men in Pine Bluff, and especially negroes, who would be glad to get $l per day for their work, but, for some cause. labor in this city seems demoralized and many Of the idle negroes will not work at any price They prefer to be supported by their wives, or SUD- port themselves by stealing.

Auction Sale of Fine Rugs.

Attention is called to the large and
choice collection of Persian and othe1
Oriental rugs and carpets, which is to be
sold at auction by +. o. Bailey & Co.,
today and tomorrow at No. 100 Exchange
street. The collection which was carefully
selected for n. Enfajian. the importer,
contains an unusually large number of
high grade Persian rugs and some unique
specimens Of more ordinary makes, be-
sides great many carpets and killim
hangings.
In the collection is.a very valuable silk
Persian rug, probably ABOUT two hundred
years old, and valued at S2500. This rug
contains over five hundred handtied knots
to the square inch and occupied about
three years in the making. There are also
a number of large carpets of the best
makes, mostly Indian and Persian. They
are of very fine quality, handsome pat
terms and unique combinations of colors.
These goods come direct from the City of
Tabirz Persia, one Of the largest rug
markets in Persia. 1t is probably one of
the largest and choicest collections of rugs
ever brought to this city, and all are in
vited to be present at the sale and exhibit
and inspect the goods.
Mr.. Enfajian, the importer, has been at
Bar Harbor every summer for the past
thirteen years, where he is we'll known
and his object of having this auction is
to realize money quickly on the goods.
