DETAILS ARE MBAGER
But 1t Is Reported That the
Engineer And Others
Were Killed And A
Score Injured.

SAN ANTONIO, Texas, Jan. 2O.-The
Sunset limited, one of the finest and
fastest trains in America was wrecked
at daylight near La Coste, % miles
west of San Antonio.
Railroad officials are reticent but 1t
is reported that the engineer and sew
eral other persons were killed and
twenty passengers injured.
wreckiug train with physicians
has gone from here and the injured
will be brought here. La Coste is only
Q flag station.
The Sunset limited is composed en-
tirely of Pullman palace cars and stops
at only three stations in Texas. Its
average speed through the state is 80
miles per hour.
The wreck was caused by misplace
ed switch. A light engine with few
cars attached had orders to go on the
siding at La Coste and remain until the
limited had passed. The brakeman
who opened the switch for
the light engine to pass
on to the siding swung on to the train
as it passed in, expecting another man
TO; close the switch. The other
man failed to do SO.
The morning was cloudy and heavy
fog made it impossible to see many feet
ahead. The limited is scheduled to
pass La Coste at speed approximat-
ing SO miles per hour. Engineer Nc
Culloch did not see the misplaced
switch until he was within 200 or 800
feet of it. He shouted to his fireman
to jump for his life, but he himself
stuck bravely to his post and went to
his death.
After the collision his engine was
found reversed with the brakes firmly
set. The heavy limited engine with
its train of Pullmans dashed into the
siding and crashed into the elight:engine
and train. Both engines were almost
totally destroyed. The three forward
coaches of the limited left the track
and one of them turned over. The
windows were broken, and the seat sand
furnishings tumbled about Engineer
McCulloch of the limited was killed,
and the iremen on both engiaes SO
badly scalded that they will die.
Several passengers were injured but
none seriously. Among the passengers
were Baron Won Probst of Germany,
who was married here last night to
Miss Kaltrier, an heiress of this city.
They were slightly injured. The
wreck is said to have been caused by
absolute carelessness.

a speech on the expansion question.
He referred to the territory the Unit
ed States has already acquired, and
insisted in few cases had people in the
annexed possessions been consulted.
He held that this government has the
power to acquire territory. and
that in the past no question
has ever been raised as to the desir-
ability of the population or their ca
pacity for government. He believed
we had the right to acquire territory
by conquest, treaty. purchase, explor-
alton, or discovery. Never
before had this right been dis
puted. There is nothing in the
constitution to prevent acquisition, and
so far as he could ascertain, judici al
decisions did not prohibit it.

SHAFT TO BE SUNK
TO A Depth Of Fifty Feet And If the
Vein Is Found To Be As Rich As 1t
Is Near the Surface the Mine Will
Be Operated.-The Discovery Has
Created Intense Interest In Mining
Circles.

OlIClC6s
Since the publication in the HERALD
Wednesday of the discovery Of depos-
it of tin ore In the mountains east of
town, the most intense interest has
beeu aroused, especially among mining
men. Many persons we're making
anxious inquiries yesterday se to
where they could see the specimens of
the ore.
At seven O'Clock yester day morning,
before residents of the city bad begun
to stir In any great Dumberr. Messrs.
Morehead, Davis, and COnklio procur-
ed Q vehicle from Pomeroy's stable
and drove out to the tract of land
where the tin deposit was recently
found.
They would permit no reporters to
accompany them, saying that the
purpose OF their visit was to make on
ly quiet Investigation to satisfy them
selves concerning the extent OF the de-
posit.
They were all back at their places of
business today and from their looks IL
was apparent that they were highly
elated over the discovery, although
they declined to say much. Their in.
teuti0n is to develop the property and
follow up the vein of tin ore, which
extends downward, to determine its
value. If the deposit amounts to any
thing the mine will be worked; If not,
they think the less said about it the
better, and prefer that nothing be
said until the value OF the mine 10
determined.
T. 81. Conklin has in his Office speci-
mems of the ore two inches square tax
en- from the vein.
A fifty foot shaft is to be sunk im.
mediately and If . sufficient deposit of
the ore is found . large force of men
will be put to work to mine the tin.
A number of very rich specimens OF
the ore were seen at the Office of @. r..
M0rehead this morning by q
HERALD reporter. One of them was
fully six inches square and very
heavy.
Mr.. Morehesd says that the shaft is
already down eleven feet and that q
two foot vein Of tin ore has been un-
covered.

There was a big crowd of disappointed

pected the corpse of Will Thornton, a
Dawson negro who was to have been
hanged in Americas for numbering his
wife, on the afternoon train, and
gathered at the depot in large numbers
to receive it.
Thornton was not hanged, however,
his lawyers succeeding in securing a stay
OF proceedings, and when the train roll~
ed in without dead darkey there was
general disappointment
One negro woman who was about a
quarter of mile distant gave loud
scream and went into a trance when she
heard the whistle of he train which was
thought to be bringing the supposed
corpse blow, and it took considerable
work to bring her around all right
again.
When the train arrived aud it was
learned that no corpse had come the
crowd departed in disgust.
