FORGOT HE SAW FLAG.
A great deal OF work has been going

utilized for the conveyance OF materials

Brayton is one of the Oldest men I'm the

operation OF that route.

was car 679. the same one that was In
collision with the Riverpoint car In this
cut and which telescoped that car and
killed and injured so many people.
Fortunately Motorman Sherman, OF car

latter was I'm line of vision. and with good
Judgment he iammed his brake on hard.
and stuck to his post until the collision
came. Drawing thereby the consequences

New Orleans, August 12-A special to the Times-Democrat from Lake Charles, La., says:
 The Southern Pacific Company suffered a complete wreck of their No. 9 this after noon at o'clock. The train was going at full speed and was just going on the tres- tie over the Lacasine Bayou when the ten- der jumped the track and broke loose from the engine. The engine went on and the nine coaches were thrown in every direc- ton, only one Pullman car staying on the track. The cars were nearly all thrown into the mud and water of the Lacasine Bayou The trestle was completely demol- ished. The railroad men on the train de- clare il was the most complete smash up they ever saw.
 On board the train were about one hun dred and fifty people and the fact that only one boy was killed is beyond explanation. Fred Chattin was the unfortunate boys name. He was the son of MT. and Mrs. R. L. Chattin, who were also on the train. Mrs. Chattin who had sucking baby In her arms was seriously hurt on the head. The boy that was killed was asleep by an open window when the smash up occurred and he was thrown partly out of the win-

 The brakeman had his hand slightly hurt and Lusius O'Bryan, a mail clerk, was badly bruised on the arm and shoulder The news of the wreck caused great ap- prehension in Lake Charles, as there were a number of Lake Charles people on the train. The first rumor said there were forty killed.

 MT. CockbuFn, the Pullman conductor, says this is his third wreck for this month. Passengers dubbed him "The Jo- nah"
 Every attention is being given Mrs. Chat tin, and the doctors say they do not be- lieve she is very seriously injured.
 The small loss of life and bodily injuries is , greatest marvel of the district. Pas senger trains will likely be operated oyer the aWtkins road via Alexandria till the wreck is cleared up.

CHINESE COMPLAIN
At Tardiness of Ministers in Replying to
 Their Offsr

Paris, August 12.-QO:3O p. m.)-The Tsung Ii Yamen forwarded through the Chinese Minister at Paris, Yu Keng, a message to the French government com blaming of the "tardiness of the foreign Ministers in Pekin in replying to the of fer of the Chinese government to conduct them under escort.''
 The message proceeded to say that the Tsung Ii Yamen declined to be responsi- ble for any casualties which might follow these delays, and insisted that the Eu- ropean governments order their represen- tatives to leave Pekin.
 To this communication M. Delcasse, Min ister of Foreign Affairs, sent the following reply:
 No order to depart from PelSin will be given to our Minister so long as the route Is unsafe If a casualty occurs the re- sponsibility will be entirely with the Chi nese government. It's strict duty is to pro- tect foreign Ministers even more than its own.
 If it be true that the Chinese govern ment has great difficulty in defending them and in defending itself against rebels, it should order it's troops to stand aside be- fore the allied forces. This would render free the road from Tien Tsn to the capi- tai and would accomplish the work of pro- lection which is encumbered'
