Graham Guardian: 1t seems TO be a
settled fact that Samuel A. Logan is
dead. As near as can be learned he
had a contract to do some surveying
on a canal about 20 miles up the Rio
Grande from Ell Paso. He started for
the place the day before the last big
flood, but never reached his destination
and it is supposed he met his death in
the raging waters OF the Rio Grande.

Cars.

st. Louis, Aug. 29.-The passengers and
train crew of the midnight special on the
Chicago & Alton railroad, which arrived
in this city at 7:45 a. m. from Chicago,
narrowly escaped death in wreck near
Alton this morning. The engine was de-
rallied while proceeding at a high rate of
speed by spreading rails and went down
a 45-foot embankment. The tender, three
baggage cars, containing the scenery and
wardrobes of the Digby Bell company
and Hopkins Theatrical company, and a
postal car followed and rolled on top of
the engine. Peter Rafferty, of Blooming
ton, the engineer, was taken out fatally
injured Fireman Charles Johnson of
Bloomington, Ills. Mail Clerks Robert
Maltimore of JerseyviIle, ILL.,. and ". f..
Shipper and Samuel Grobbs of Chicago
crawled out of the wreck severely hurt
Several Pullmans, in which were the
theatrical people, remained on the track
but the shock threw the passengers from
their bertns. Manager Duncan B. Har-
rison of the Digby Bell company was Sc
riously hurt about the chest Others were
injured more or less seriously.
Heavy loss of life was prevented only
by the support given the Pullmans by the
overturned baggage cars. All the seen
cry, properties and wardrobes, as well as
the personal effects of the Digby Bell
company, were completely destroyed.

Personally C Conducted Tour via Penn,
sylvania Railroad.
At S.13 a. IN. Wednesday, Jan
81, a special train of Pullman com
posite, dining, sleeping, compart
ment, and observation cars will
leave the handsome Jersey City
Depot of Pennsylvania Railroad
bound for San Diego, California
and conveying the first of the
Pennsylvania Railroad Company's
personally conducted tours to the
Pacific Coast.
This train will be the finest that
ever crossed the continent, and the
tour it carries one of the most elaho,
rate and complete ever conceived
for trans continental and pleasure
travel. In charge of an affable and
experienced tourist agent, assisted
by a highly accomplished chaperon,
this party, without fear of missing
train connections, and without any
of those petty annoyances incident
to individual travelling, crosses the
American continent with as much
comfort and ease as it would spend
a week at the Waldorf, stopping,
too, at st. Louis. Kansas City, Las
Vegas Hot Springs, and Santa Fe,
and visiting their principal points
of interest. A bath room, barber
shop, and an upright piano will be
found on the train, and every other
convenience and luxury of a first
class hostelry.
The great object of this tour is to
escape the insalubrious climate of
the East and to sojourn for a time
amid the trapscendent beauties of
California, breathe its invigorating
air and bask beneath it's matchless
sky. A grander attraction could
not be offered, nor a more perfect
method of reaching it.
Five weeks will be allowed in
this paradise of the Pacific"
during which tourists will visit
Los Angeles, Pasadena, aye Alpine
Tavern" Santa Barbara, San Ber-
nardino, Mt. Hamilton, aud the
garden spot ofthe earth, Del Monte.
Returning, tourists will stop at
Salt Lake City, Glenwood Springs,
Colorado Springs, Maniton, Denver,
and Chicago. Two days will be
spent visiting the famous and sub
lime freaks of nature in the Manitou
region.
Tickets for this tour, including
railroad transportation, Pullman
accommodations zone double berth },
meals en- route, carriage drives, and
hotel accommodations going and
returning, and transportation in
California, will be sold at rate of
$4,000 from all stations on the
Pennsylvania Railroad System east
of Pittsburg.
