Distressing Collision on the d. 3. r.. @.
Near Canon City.
Denver, Sept 25.-A special to the
Republican says:
Six lives were snuffed out in q
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
4:OS o'clock Saturday afternoon.
Two are fatally and eight more or
less seriously injured. misinter-
probation of orders, or a 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 o'clock Saturday afternoon.
This train consisted of an empty pas
sneger coach and two tourist sleeping
cars, both Of which We're filled 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 We're
received to meet a fast freight train
at Reno, four miles west of that place.
An east-bOund narrow gauge freight
train received orders at Canon City to
meet the excursion train at Reno.
The siding was reached and passed
by the freight which was gliding along
down grade at a 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 n
group of children under the care of
their elders. Simultaneous shrieks
from two locomotives, the reversal of
levers, leap for life by two engineers
and two tiremen and then crash. The
two monster iron horses, solidly inter-
locked marked the center of a heap of
debris.
Those killed are:
Eva M. Walker, aged -, Westford,
Massachusetts,.
Eugene b. Judl1ins, aged IL, Spo-
kane, Washington.
Addie F. Judkins, aged 10, Spo-
kane, Washington.
George II. Judkins, aged G, Spokane,
Washington.
Merville Wills, aged about 10, son of
Mrs. Efiie Wills, who was fatally in
jured, Los Angeles, California.
F. Salter, manager of the excursion,
Boston.
So great was the force of the collis-
ion that the boiler of the big passenger
engine formed n coat for that of the
smaller engine. The day coach was
jammed 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 n box car.
The disaster occurred on the identi-
cal spot where n similar though less
serious collision happened last winter.
The truck passed under n high bluff,
which forms one bank of the river.

While the strike was on the Eilers

ing some worn-out furnaces and roast

the intention of the company to still

Among other things, three furnaces,
three roasters. one boiler, one fiue and
one smoke stack are under way Of con-
struction. besides the making of cop
per fiues and vast amount of other
work. The Guggenheims say that the
daily capacity of the plant will be in
creased to 200 tons, which means the
doubling up of its present size. No
doubt at all but that the capacity of
the Philadelphia will be doubled.
Without making any fuss about it
the Pueblo smelter has all at once
shown signs of outdoing itself and ev-
erything else by putting in improve
ments that will increase the capacity
to 1,5OO tons daily, which is Il mighty
big undertaking. but the American

Los Angeles, Gala, Sept 25.-Oficial
reports of two battles between Mexi-

Luis Torres in August, and found In

guard and Il running fight of over half

The Mexican loss was five killed and
nine wounded, among the latter Lieu
tenant Colonel Navarro of the Elev-

on the Mexican side. AS this report is
from Lorenzo Torres, it may be relied
upon as correct.
