The Postal TELEGRAPH.

Vice President Bradley, OF the Postal
Telegraph company, will arrive in the
city some time this week and all ar
rangements will be perfected for the
new Telegraph company opening up
for business here by the first Of July,
when the wire between Albuquerque
will have been strung and ready.
1t is not generally known but it Is a
fact that the Postal Telegraph COM
pany have within the last month
opened offices in all the principal cities
of Texas. They have worked quietly,
but are putting up a first class line and
are stringing a copper wire.
The Postal people already have a
contract by which they will connect
with the Mexican Central's telegraph
here and the Mexican Nationals
telegraph line at Laredo and will
monopolize the telegraph business of
Mexico, that is, all that is not entirely
controlled by the Mexican government
telegraph line.
The Postal Telegraph line will be a

4 Wreck on the Central.

Yesterday mornings Mexican Cen
tral train did not arrive until 10 o'clock
last night. The train was delayed by
a passenger train wreck on the Silao
and Zacatecas division. Only a meagre
report can be obtained as the Central
people over the river profess profound
ignorance on the subject.
The train wrecked was the local pas
senger train that runs from the City
of Mexico TO Zacateca5 and the wreck
was caused by a broken wheel or
flange, which threw the third and sec
ond class cars in the ditch. 1t is also
reported that four passengers were
killed and seventeen wounded badly.
The wreck occurred near a station
named Francisco about 20 miles this
side of Leon. The wreck occurred
night beforeslast between eight and
nine o'clock.
The following special to the Dallas
News, in regard to the wreck, gives
different account from the one above.
The dispatch is from the City of Mex
leo.
The north bound passenger train on
the Mexican Central railway, which
left here Sunday morning. was wreck
ed at $50 o'clock the same evening
between Leon and Francisco, owing to
the breaking of Il tire on wheel. The
engine, tender, baggage car and third
class coach were capsized. The San
Antonio sleeper was thrown down an
embankment and turned over, while
the special sleeper, Newport, was
thrown on its side. The passengers
were badly shaken up, and there was
some scalp wounds inflicted. Some of
the pa3seng gers returnedahere for treat
ment.

Temporary Injunction Issued
by Judge Garland Against
South Dakota.
Roads Given Time to Make Ar
gument That Rates Are
Unreasonable.
Threats Made That the Case
Will Be Carried to the
Highest Court.

Sioux FALLS, Sept. 9.-Judge Gar
land of the federal court has issued a
temporary injunction restraining the
South Dakota railroad commission
from putting into effect the new sched-
ule Of rates recently adopted. The
eight railroad companies were each
called upon to furnish bonds in the
sum of $40, 900 to cover the costs.
In rendering the decision the court
said that in case the rates were put
into effect the companies would have no
recourse and he held that the companies
were entitled to chance that the rates
were unreasonable before they went
into effect. The hearing will take place
within 20 days.
Counsel for the roads intimate that
If the permanent injunction is denied
the cases will be carried to the supreme
court Of the United States.

A Dozen People Killed and as
Many Injured in a Santa
Fe Collision.
WreCkage Takes Fire and En-
gineS and Coaches Are
Destroyed.
w. J. Bryan Was Among the
Passengers, but Escaped
Uninjured.

EMPoRIA, Kan, Sept. 9,-One of the
worst wrecks in the history of the Santa
Fe railroad occurred three miles east of
here at about z 80 o'clock. Ten or IL
persons were killed and as many more
were badly hurt The fast mail train
going east and the Mexico and Califor.
MIA express, westbound, collided, head
on. The Mexico 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 west bound train went in on top of
the three engines and two mail cars
and balanced there without turning
over. The passengers in the smok-
ing car
Escaped Through the Windows.
The front end of this car was enveloped
in a volume of sitting smoke and
steam, belching up from the wreck be-
low, and the rear door was jammed in
the wreck Of the car behind. The
wreck caught fire from the engines.
The cars in the hole and the smoking
car burned to ashes in no time. In
climbing out of the smoking car several
men fell through the riffs into the
wreck below and it is impossible to tell
whether they escaped or were burned
to death. The westbound train carried
seven or eight coaches and its passen.
gers included many excursionists who
had been to hear 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 40 feet from the cars which were
wrecked. He helped to
Carry Out the Dead and Wounded
and gave the greatest attention to their
care. Of the seven mail clerks two
were killed and the others more or less
injured. The dead so far as known are:
James Brennan, engineer; Nat Hollis
ter, fireman; William Frisbey, en-
gineer; Fireman Gonzales; J. F. Sauers.
express messenger; R. A. Horan, postal
clerk; Fireman Shurley, Daniel Nc
Kennon and an unknown man. Ben
Walther, fireman, is missing.
The engineer of the westbound train
had received orders to meet the fast
mail at Emporia and was making up
lost time. These two are the fastest
trains ON the Santa Fe system and the
eastbound train must have been run
ming at speed of at least 40 miles an
hour. The westbound express was 60
ing around q slight curve and met the
fast mail.
