Distressine Colllsion tho ID. q. Il. q,
Near Canon City.
Denver, Sept pa special TO the
Republican says:
Six lives were snuiYed out in a
twinkling by the collision Of Judson
excursion train with fast freight, at
Reno, four miles out Of Canon City, on
the Denver & Rio Grande railroad, at
40S O'Clock Saturday afternoon.
Two are fatally and eight more or
less seriously injured. A misinter-
pretation of orders, or blunder the
blame for which has not been fixed, is
responsible for the catastrophe.
The JudsOn excursion train, bound
from Chicago to San Francisco, left
Pueblo at 2 O'Clock Saturday afternoon.
This train consisted OF an empty pas
sneger coach and two tourist sleeping
cars, both Of which were filed with
passengers, most of them bound for
their homes In the West The excur-
sion. train was drawn by monster
Mogul engine. At Florence orders were
received to meet a fast freight train
at Reno, four miles west Of that place.
An east-bound narrow gauge freight
train received orders Mt Canon City to
meet the excursion train at Reno.
The siding was reached and passed
by the freight which was gliding along
down grade ut high rate of speed.
The road winds through the tortuous
arkansas valley with many curves and
turns. The excursion train was speed
ing along toward the siding under full
head of steam. The passengers on the
excursion train were admiring the
beautiful scenery. Upon the platform
OF the forward sleeping car stood a
group Of children under the care of
their elders. Simultaneous shrieks
from two locomotives, the reversal of
levers, a leap for life by two engineers
two monster iron horses, solidly inter-
locked marked the center Of heap of
debris.
Those killed are:
Eva NJ. Walker, aged 10, westford,
Massachusetts.
Eugene B. Judkins, aged 10, Spo-
kane, Washington.
Addie F. Judkins, aged 10, Spo-
kane, Washington.
George II. Judkins, aged G, Spokane,
Washington.
Meryille Wills. aged about 10. son of
Mrs. Efiie Wills. who was fatally in
5ured. Los Angeles. California.
+. Salter, manager of the excursion,
Boston.
The anguish of parents bereaved of
their children was distressing to see.
So great was the force OF the collis-
Ion that the boiler of the big passenger
engine formed coat for that of the
smaller engine. The day coach was
1ammed back into the middle sleeper
nearly half its length, and cars loaded
with ore are piled up in mass of
ruins. The tender of 574, the freight
engine, lies across the track with one
end resting on a box car.
The disaster occurred on the identi-
cai spot where n similar though less
serious collision happened last winter.
The track passed under n high blufr
which forms one bank of the river.

BATTLES IN MEXICO.
Severe Conflicts between Troops and VA
Qui Indiana

ccSere COnulctB between Troops and IA.
qut Indians.
Los Angeles, Gala, Sept. 25.-Offcial
reports of two battles between Mexi-
cans and Yaquis have just been re-
ceived here.
On the 14tl instant, Lorenzo Torres
crossed the river to yicam, the town
supposed to have been captured by
Luis Torres In August, and found In
dians. The lattel attacked his rear
guard and running fight of over half
an hour ensued. Tie report fails to
say in which direction the running was
done, and 1t says the Indians were dis
persed and nine of them were killed
The Mexican loss was five killed and
nine wounded, among the latter Lieu
tenant Colonel Navarro of the Elev-
enth battalion, one of the best officers
on the Mexican side. As this repol Is
from Lorenzo Torres, 1t may be relied
upon rs correct.
A report Of another battle on the
18th comes from another source, also
official, and Its statements of the num-
Der of Indians engaged and killed may
DC believed by persons not familiar
with Mexican traits. According to this
report, the force under Colonel Her.
nandeZ, number not stated, encoun-
tered 1000 Indians near Lake Zauueca,
probably small lagoon between TORN
and Potam. The Indians retired from
the open field and sought cover in the
thick woods, where bloody eomba
ragged for more than two hours, begin
ming at six In the morning. The report
says the Indians We're defeated and
dispersed, leaving on the field eighty
seven dead. No wounded Indians ever
figure In these reports because the
Mexicans murder them. The Mexican
losses are stated as fourteen soldiers
killed and thirty-six wounded. Major
Ruiz of the National Guard, was NOR.
tally wounded. and Julian Espinosa,
captain of the Yaquis, friendly to the
Mexicans and Tctebiates, lieutenant
in the Teny's war. was Killed also.
The report winds up with the invar-
liable eulogy of officers and troops, and
says they have been Constantly tri-
umphant," ignoring the fact that the
faquis whipped them twice at Sehul-
tn, and remain in the places from
which they are reported to have been
driven several times.
These two battles prove that the va
quis have not retired 10 the mountains.
but are making their fight In the val.

are not molesting anybody In the min

More Than Keeping Even.

Despite the predictions of the Demo-
Gratis few years ogo tho Government
revenue thus far during the present fiscal
year has exceeded The Government ex-
pense. No wonder the opponents of the
Republican party aud of the policy of
protection turn from the question of tar
i'll and begin bowling about the trusts.
They deceived the people in 1896 with
their lies, and now in an effort to divert
the public mind from those lies they
howl about something else. At the end
of the first quarter of the fiscal wear
surplus of s., ,O00,0O1 is shown. The Gov
ernment revenue for the three months
has been sl7 100000 more than what it
was during the same period of last year,
and the expenditures have fallen TO S45,-
100000. The customs are yielding from
$780, to 81 100000 day, and internal
revenue nets 81 100000 each day, both
showing an aggregate gain over the same
period of last year of 81, 900, 600. The War
Department is spending an average Of
Sl2,5QO,O 600 each month, while the month
ly expense ofour navy is s5,OOO,OOO. We
are carrying on a war on the other side
OF the world where we ere taking care of
a great army of American soldiers as no
nation has ever Cal ed for its soldiers b =
fore; we are adding battle ships, cruisers
and torpedo boats to the navy in a man
ner that is attracting the attention of all
nations, and yet we show cash balance
and surplus for the past three months,
the first quarter of the new fical year.
More and more each day is the proof

affairs will be conscientionsly and honest
ly administered. Stand by them when
you cast your ballots and you may rest
assured you will have male no mistake.
FOR COUNTY AUDITORS
The candidates are James r. Clark
and George l.. King. To those who
know them these gentlemen need mo
Recommendation for the Offices for which
the partly has unanimously nominated
them. Mr.. Clark has very acceptably
filled the position for three years past,
and we believe hts colleagues on the
board will bear us out in saying that he
is the right man in the right place. Mr.,
King is a shrewd young business man, a
good accountant, and may be depended
on to do his duty with fidelity. There
will be no laxness in the discharge OF
their WORK with these two competent
men on the board of County Auditors.
They should be elected by good ma
jorities.
FOR JURY COMMISSIONER.
Levi G. Reynolds is the Republican
nominee. Mr.. Reynolds has been li'e-
long resident of the county, staunch
Republican and will make a good Of
fetal. He is sure of the election, there
being two to elect, and each voter being
privileged to vote for only one, and the
people willIbe well satisfied with his Of
ficial acts.
Is is the duty of every Republican first,
to vote the ticket straight, second to put
his shoulder TO the wheel and, in every
honorable way, assist in rolling up an old
fashioned majority for every individual
on tie ticket. The Republican party de-
serves the credit of bringing about the
splendid prosperity which the country
is now enjoying, and in order to per-
petuate and continue that prosperity it is
necessary to stand by the party's nomi-
nees, not only in State and National af-
fairs, but in county matters as well. No
party can long exist if the individual
members persist in knitting the local
ticket. There's where the wider field of
politics springs from, and there is the
place to show your Republicanism. Try
to sink personal dislike if you have any,
and stand by the candidates of the party
as You would want them to stand by you
under like circumstances. Be loyal to
your party at all times, and especially so
when its candidates are being assailed
by the common enemy, who, when you
help them to an Office will turn on you or
you friends at tho first opportunity and
crush you if they can. Stand by the
ticket.

Tho owithdrawal,o of Josiah r. Adams from
the Republican State ticket as the can
didate for Superior Judge last Thursday,
on account of newspaper charges serious
ly affecting his character and fitness, and
the substitution of John /. Mitchell of
Tioga county to fill the vacancy thus
caused, has been the sensation of the
week in politics. Whether true or not,
the charges of being associated in busi-
ness with men who have since turned
out to be of rather odious character, in
duced Mr.. Adams to withdraw IRON the
ticket in order, as he said, to relieve the
party from any embarrassmentin in his con-
tinuation as cand date might bring.
The State committee was c,lled together
al Philadelphia on Saturday and un-
amin usly chose Judge Mitchell to fill
the vacancy. His candidacy will strength
en- the ticket because of his wIn known
fitness, ability and clean official record.
The incident is closed, automatically
speaking, and Judge Mitchell and the
whole Republican ticket will be elected
by little less than 100000 majority.
