FOUR M EN- KILLED.
~A coiihsion Between . Hand Car and
Engine Near Giliett.

s.on between Hand Car and
Engine Near Gillett.
Denver, May ga special to the Re-
puohcan from Cripple Greek says:
An AWFUL fatality occurred this
morning about a mile and a half north
oI Siiiett on the Terminal road, in
whlch -FOUR men lost their lives. The
scene Of the accident was the second
trestie bridge out of Gillett, No. 13A, a
structure crossing a deep, rocky gulch
fully 10 feet deep.
An extra section gang numbering
we've men, started out from Gillett
ABOUT 7;3O O'Clock on hand car in
charge of Bob Cunningham. They
We're In advance of passenger train No.
which arrives at Gillett about
O'Clock.
AS the hand car reached the middle
or the trestle, the train, in charge of
engineer Owen Kerns, dashed sudden
~ on them, running rapidly on a
heavy down grade. Four Of the fright
ened section men Immediately jumped
and were dashed to death on the rocks
below, where their mangled and
bruised bodies were found later. man.
gled almost beyond recognition. The
dead are:
Ben Ebberley, married; leaves
wife and family.
William Finn.
Edward Finn.
James Hannahan.
All these men, with the exception of
Ebberley, are unknown in Gillett-
3. b. keele, n car repairer, stood on
the car and as the engine approached
jumped to the cowcatcher sustaining a
slight cut about the head, but other
wise escaping uninjured.
The remainder of the men, Including
the foreman, stayed by the ear and es-
capped uninjured, returning to Gillett
with the special car sent out to bring
in the dead bodies. No. 2 was running
on time, therefore no blame can be at
tached to either its conductor or crew.
The foreman of the section gang GER
tainly knew that the train was due,
although it is possible that owing to
the morning train which runs up from
Divide, and the engine from which is
generally used on No. 2, being late, he
supposed that No. would be delayed.
Instead of that. No. started on time
with new engine, the X. s. Brown. 1t
was probably owing to the fact that
this new engine was drawing the train
that the remaining eight men We're
saved from death, as the engineer
stopped the train within five rails, al
though it was running at a high rate
of speed. The engine struck the hand
car softly and pushed it over the trestle
safely.

volunteer regiments now. and some of
tnem are below the required numerical
strength. 1t iS the mention Of the War
department officials to follow the law
to the letter and recruit existing repi.
mental organizations up to the maxi.
mum strength. Under the present
three battalion formation a regiment
consists of twelve companies, the max.
lmum strength of each company beina
e1ghty-three enlisted men. 1t is expect,
ed that good many of the volunteers
who have already been mustered into
the United States army will, for var.
lOus causes, be out of their regiments
during the next two or three months
calculations made at the War Depart.
ment indicate that it will require from
oO,OOO to $4,000 men to recruit the reg.
lments up to the standard required. II
Is essential to the efficiency of a COM
pany or regimental organization that il
nave approximately the maximum
number of men at all times.
1t Is quite likely. therefore, that from
the 10000 volunteers called for to-day
not more than thirty or thirty-five regi

AFR AID OF TORPEDO BOATS.
Admiral Sampson VIII Take No Chances
With Them

<Au"Hhi Shhnpson Will rake NO Chances
With Them
Admiral Sampson, before sailing in
pursuit of Cervera on the 23rd, gave
the following warning to the captain
of newspaper dispatch boat that pro
posed to accompany the fleet:
Il can give you no signals, and you
will display light at your peril. The
ships of the navy will show no lights;
neither will the searchlights be used.
You will have to do the best you can,
and If you make a mistake it will
probably result in a shell being drop
ped aboard even before you are hailed
In these times we cannot investigate
first, but to insure the protection of
the ships must shoot first and learn
whom we hit afterward | advise you
to stay away from the fleet unless you
are prepared to take serious chances.
During the daytime, of course, we
shall be pleased to show you any pos
sible courtesy"
The naval officers are evidently more
afraid of a small craft than a large
vessel. The torpedo boat is the terror
Of them all. 1t has been demonstrated
that the searchlight is no protection,
and the command has been given to
fire upon anything that passes during
the night. Torpedoes are as effective
as a rifle at 800 yards, and the GER
tainty of range is excellent. To avoid
these terrible destroyers the warships
will continually move about, some
times at high, sometimes at slow
speed, in order to lessen the chances
of being blown to atoms.

A GREAT REMEDY.
Greatly Tested.
Greatly Recommended.

The loss of the hair Is one of the most
serious losses a woman can undergo.
Beautiful hair gives many a woman a
claim to beauty which would be utterly
wanting II the locks were short and
scanty. 1t IS almost as serious a loss when
the natural hue of the hair begins to fade,
and the shining tresses of Chestnut aud
auburn are changed to gray or to a faded
shadow OF their former brightness. Such
q loss Is no longer a necessity. There Is
one remedy which may we'll be called a
great remedy by reason of its great sue
cess in stopping the falling of the hair,
storing the lost color to gray or faded
tresses. DR.; Ayers Hair vigor Is a stand

PHOTOGRAPHY AIDS THE LAW.

Juries No Longer Visit the Scenes Of Crime

Photography has reduced the diff
nculties in law suits and trials to a
minimum" remarked a member of the
bar to a Washington Star reporter.
"In times past it was the universal
custom in murder trials to take the
juries to the scenes of the crime, SO
that they could get a better under
standing Of the testimony and the
facts in the case. Besides the time In
vOlved, there was considerable ex.
pense in this. There were, you know,
elaborate diagrams, drawings and
sketches constantly used in important
trials All this is now done away by
the photograph, which is always ac-
curate. In making copies of exhibits
In civil causes, notes, deeds, wills and
the like, the blue print has done away
entirely with the services of the
draughtsmen who were employed to

the celebrated trial of General Dan
lei Sickles, then a representative from
New York, for the murder of Phil
Barton Key, who was the United
States district attorney. The pictorial
exhibits in this trial almost filed one

club house In the front of which the
shooting occurred, now the site of the
Lafayette Square opera house, was,
Of course, the principal picture. Then
there was a drawing of Lafayette
square, showing how Key signaled
over to Mrs. Sickles, who resided on
the opposite side of that square, and
big drawing of the house on Fifteenth
street, between X and l. streets,
where the meetings between Colonel
Key and Mrs. Sickles took place, as
well as the signals which were dis
played on the house indicating to
Key whether or not Mrs. Sickles had
arrived there. Besides these there were
other pictures and diagrams which
were prepared by Mr.. William For
syth, the city surveyor. They cost
considerable money, but the whole
thing could now be better represented

Went Into Cienfuegos and Held by the
spaniards on a Fiimsy Pretext.
New York, May pa cable to the
Herald from Kingston, Jamaica, says:
Gable advices were received here to-
day from Cienfuegos, Cuba, stating
that the Adula, on her arrival there,
was stopped by the Spanish authorities.
A search was made and it was found
that there was a man aboard whose
name is not given, who had gone on
the ship surreptitiously. His name was
not on the ships papers.
The Spanish authorities declared that
his object was to go into the town and
carry back information to the block
aiding fleet, and that his presence was
breach of the neutrality laws. The
ship was thereupon seized and Captain
Walker and his officers were put in con-
finement. The British consul has made
a protest and the English authorities
here are moving in the matter. 1t Is
believed the person on board was a
news agent or newspaper correspon-
dent, as the Spanish consul had abso-
lutely refused to permit the ship to
leave IL any reporter was allowed to
