THE G.. Fl. ACCIDENT.
PrOvidential Escape From Death on
Yesterdays PASSENGER.

Further details have been learned
about the derailment OF yesterdays
west bound G. II. passenger train near
Volga station, and that there were no
passengers killed can only be ascribed
tn an ever wstchful providence. Not
were the worst to befsll the passenger
on the ill fated train.
The train was about forty-fve min
utes late, with Paul Derr as engineer,
Ames conductor, and BOrcberdlng
brakeman. There were some fifteen
passengers in the smoker, and six or
eight In the first class coach behind,
and Derr was running forty-five miles
an hour to max up lost time. Sud-
denly one of the wheels under the for
ward truck of the smoker broke, and
the car left the rails. The car went
humping over the ties, throwing the
passengers into confusion and
every every ,o,,d.aa Thioh way way. l The next ssd
for six telegraph poles the racket CON
tinued. Then the smoker broke away
from the baggage car in front, and
went end first into the ditch where it
turned shelly up" like dead alliga,o-,
aud very much without care. The day
coach came riding off its truck, with
the car body over onto the smoker aud
crosswise with the tracks. The Pull
man did not leave the rails. The
severing of the sir brak hose at once
set the emergencies, and the engineer
was at once acquainted with the fact
that something was the matter, and he
stopped as soon as possible.
Clarence Ivy, the news boy, went out
onto the front platform to jump, but
was undecided which way to go, and
ere he knew what was up, he found
himself under the overturned smoker;
and as he cav the forward end of the
day coach sliding up towards him,
he gave up all hope and thought he
was dead. Then he discovered he was
MT, and crswled out with only q badly
bruised head and legs. B. G.. Steg-
man, Pecos valley cattle
man, was badly bruised, and
sent to the hospital on reaching
this city. Passengers were thrown all
over the car, and yet in the midst of
all this crash no lives were lost or even
bones broken. DIR. Turner found the
Injured passengers walking about on
his arrival with Supt. Martin at TOO
p. M, and at once applied bandsges to
all the bruises. Then there was sup
per in the wrecker, and the passengers
were transferred to the coaches brought
down for them. The track was clear
ed and repaired in short order, ard the
train arrived at 2:35 this morning The
west bound train left thirty minutes
later.

Notes from the PecOs.

| E. Clements of Toyahvale, Reeves
county, is n Fort Worth He reports
the sale to T. J. cElroy of the grea
D ranch, the property OF northern
| syndicate, the members of which arc
also interested in the Western UDlOr
Beef Company, and like that company
are closing out many OF their holdings
in the state and elsewhere. The
range is leased from the state at
cents an acre annually, and the lease
has many years to run. The extent oi
the property can hardly be estimated
but 1t covers many sections, and Is one
of the most desirable ranges in the
west. The ranch is stocked with about
10000 head of mixed cattle and the
price paid is very close to S4OO, 600.
About 1000 acres are under irrigation.
Mr.. Clements says that little or no
rain has fsllen in his section for the
past three months, and the dry
weather has made the grass brittle.
aud il is broken and blown away by
the wind. Yrarlings bring S18 readily !,
and few are offered for sale, cattle
ra;sers holding tightly to their herds.
The cou try Is full of cattle, and the
ranches have not been depleted by the
ruling high prices, as they have been
elsewhere.
Mr.. G. ements states that cattlemen
there are unusually prosperous, or, as
he says, they have mcDey to pelt at
the birds; but he fears that this con-
dition OF things may change th-rc
shortly, unless the district is coon visit
ed by rain.
The celebrated Toyah spring is
located on Mr.. Clements ranch, which
is something like ten miles in. extent,
and it is good days ride around it,
and this spring bursts from the ground
atP1Am twantv feat Qcr0aS and
foot dep, and irrigates over 5000 acres
IF land. It is the source, and in fact
the only feeder, to the Toyah creek,
which flows in:o the Pecoe river some
twenty miles below the spring.
The whole country there appears to
Overlay an immense underground lake.
Water is encountered at from 80 to 200
feet, and when the drillstrikes the flow
matters are universally lively for q few
minutes, for the water brusts forth
With q rush and makes it very often
we'll. Mr.. Clements noted one we'll at
Pecos City, just north Of the Texas and
Pacific track, that is capable of putting
one inch of water on 100 acres every
hours. The tremendous
flow has continued now for over six
years, and shows no signs of decrea.-
ing.
c. r. Thomson and others have
raised large crops of alfalfa by means
of irrigation, and this fine grass always
finds q ready sale.
Mr.. Clements says that the oue.thirg e
required to make the Pecos country rs
prosperous rs any section of the state
is rain, and that the cattlemen there
are 20 we'll fixed financially this year
shat if rain was for sale they would
buy 1t and never ask the price.

The declaration Of Paris becomes Just
now very important historical docu-
ment. II emnodies the code Of modern
naval warfare: and II has been adopted
by the United States as It's guide In the

was not signatory to It. 1t becomes
the more important because it Is under
stood that Spain viii not abide by II,
but viii follow out the old practices of
the buccaneers.
The declaration was signed at Paris
In 1856 by pienipstentisfies of the Euro
