Herald is able to announce that the
Cnion Stock Yards company has man
here making all arrangements TO es-
,ablish one of the largest yards of the
company in FL Paso.
Theodore Jones of Pueblo. Colorado,
is here for that purpose and it is un-
derstood that there is no doubt but
that the yards will be put in here under
the control of the big Kansas City and
Chicago companies. The move was
started by the Santa Fe railroad COM
pany. who have sent Mr.. Jones here
and several other roads have signified
their intentions of joining the move.
MIR. Jones has had replies from some
roads and now has men on the road
to the headquarters of the others with
instructions To close the deals.
The object is to establish union
stock yards here on the same basis
that they are run on in the great cattle
centers with the view of making FL
Paso one of the leading cattle mar
kets in the country. Estimates have
already been made on the plans of the
yaros and it is said that the invest
ment will amount to over 500. 900.
Mr.. Jones Is one of the most prom
inent capitalists in Colorado and like
many others. has discovered that this
city will soon rival Denver and that
now is the time to strike. FL Paso's
position geographically. with her
many railroads. is in command of the
cattle business of Mexico. New Mexico,
Arizona and west Texas and with I'm
ion stock yards here there is no ques-
tion that this city will become more
and more important in that line. The

part of the business must. of necessity.
be done through this city. There are
other scnemes on foot here in the live
stock line that will aid in establishing
here one of the great live stock mar
kets of the country. and with one thing
aiding another it will not require much
time to reach that end.
While nothing definite as To the To-
cation of the yards can be obtained at
present il is understood that they will
not be far from the city and will be
complete in every detail. with tracks
from every railroad in the city enter
ing the yards. The site looked upon
with most favor is the fiat east of the

Cny.-An Old e. pssoan.

News reached the city from San
den death in that city of Frank r.
Steele, formerly manager of the West
ern Union telegraph Office at FL Paso.
Mr.. Steele dropped dead on the ferry
boat while crossing over to Oakland
where he resided. Death came with
heart failure.
Mr.. Steele's death was wholly unex-
pected, although he had not been en-
tirely well for several months. Only a
few weeks ago The Herald chronicled
the fact that Mr.. Steele had been in
the hospital at San Francisco and that
fears were entertained that he might
lose the sight or his eyes. A few days
later Mr.. Steele wrote a letter to this
paper expressing his thanks for the
interest shown in his welfare.
, Frank r. Steele was promoted in
1897 to the position as manager of the
San Francisco Office. which he held at
Che time of his death. Because of his

office at one jump. His career was
begun in Vicksburg. Mississippi. where
as lad be entered the employ of the
telegraph company as messenger boy.
1t was not long until ne had mastered
the art of sending and receiving and
he was given desk in. the Office. He
was an employee of the Vicksburg Of
flee when the yellow fever scourge of
1878 swept over the south. Vicksburg
was a plague center and thousands
died of the disease. The bulk of the
population stampeded and scattered to
various remote points to escape the
destroyer. 1t was not considered dis
honorable during that times for a man
To forsake his employment and fiee.-
But Steele stuck to his post and when
peoples were dying like cattle in the
streets and all communication with
the outside world except by wire was
cut off he was attending calmly to his
daily duties and facing death.
Mr.. Steele afterwards removed to
Chicago and ST. Louis and during the
operators strike in 1883 he was one
of the strikers. He came to FL Paso
in 1856 and was made manager of the
Western Union Office in this city,
which was rapidly growing in import
ance. -
Steele soon became one of the most
popular young business men in the
city. While resident of FL Paso he
married Miss Lohnes Gist. daughter
of Mrs. Sarah Gist. said to have been
one of the most beautiful women of
the southwest Two children were
subsequently born to them.
Manager Steele's promotion to the
San Francisco office came in 1897 and
during the past three years the family
resided in that city.

FEARFUL HAVOC
Wrought BY the Collision Of
a Double Header and
a Passenger
Train


freight and passenger train wreck near
Jimulco Mexico. Friday night reached
| the city yesterday.
The accident was one of the most
complete and destructive in the annals
of the Mexican Central railway for
train and a double header freight or
work train. loaded with workmen-
crashed together on the main line. 25
miles south of Jimulco. causing the
death of twelve persons and the injury
of twenty or more. A misconstruc-
train is said to have been the cause
of the disaster.
There are many steep grades in vi
cinity of Jimulco and it was on one of
these that the collision occurred. The
speed of the freight could not be check
ed but the passenger engineer applied
his air and reversed Both he and his
fireman jumped in time to save their
lives and according to reports. both
fled to avoid arrest. as soon as they
realized the extent OF the wreck
Knowing tnal MeAu;aa laws would hoic
them both responsible 1t is believed
that the two trainmen are now making
their way toward the United States
Engineer Ross and Fireman Reeves
and Harveson of the double header
were killed outright and. according to
reports. received today. nine more

debris and still others were believed
to be concealed beneath it.
Within less than an hour after the
accident. occurred. a wrecker and
Especial left Jimulco carrying surgeons
land nurses and the relief work among
the wounded was commenced at once
The dead were laid side by side to
| await inspection by the authorities and
such of the wounded as could be re-
moved were conveyed to the hospitals
at Jimulco.
4 The three big engines were utterly
demolished and converted into a huge
heap of scrap iron. Several freight
and passenger cars were also splint-
cred into kindling wood and piled up
at the same spot. Most OF those killed
and injured are reported to have been
Mexicans, who were riding on the cars
next to the engines. The three train
men are the only Americans known to
have been killed. although it is said
that several others were seriously in
jured
The railway company showed an in
clination to withhold from the public
| the details of the accident and as
| both the telegraph operator and the
Postal were at Jimulco are controlled
by the Mexican Central it was next
| to impossible to get list of the dead
and wounded. In this city the assist
ant passenger agent of the company
said the passenger train was not much
damaged, but merely ditched and that
the casualties were all among the crew
of the work train. 1t is known pos
itively however that the collision tore
the three monster engines to pieces
and that the workmen were on yester-
day engaged in clearing away a pile of
debris. twenty-five feet in height, be-
meath which several more bodies were
supposed to be buried.

LANCASTER New ERA. Nov. q, 1900.

LANCASTER New ERA. Nov. q, 1900.
We think we have listened to more
complaints about dullness of trade dur
ing the past week than ever before
There appears to be so little doing that
dealers do not care to report their linn
tied sales. The complaint is SO general
that there is more than mere suspicion
that it is a correct statement of the stu
alton. The only sales that have been re-
ported to us are 1873 cases sold by |. Ell.
Weaver, and 36 cases sold by Isaac Stirk
& Co. For the corresponding week of
last year 1,S42 cases were sold.
There has been a considerable cessa-
tion in the buying of the new crop. The
largest buyer so far has called in his
men, and no one appears to, be doing
much. The county papers speak OF nu-
merous sales having been made in vari
Gus localities throughout the county,
but they have no names or prices to give,
which leads to the inference that after
all not so much has been sold as report
ed. There are some New York house S
who have instructed their local agents
to buy nothing until they see the goods
stripped. They think they paid too
much for the t,bacco last year, and they
won't do it this year, Or, at all events,
will know better what they are doing
than last year.

Connecticut Valley Tobacco Market.

Sales are not very numerous at this
time, though packers are trying to Sc,
cure some lots at from IA to 16c. Few
are found willing to sell at those rates.,
Packers are sometimes willing to- give
more. Growers. ought to understand!
that these same packers have already
bought fully two thirds of the entire
crop, paying from 1615 to 2615c, and they
don't intend to lose cent on their pur-
chases. Then why sell at ruinous fig
ures?
Already two lots of 1900 force sweat
tobacco have been sold, and the trade
papers say they ran in large proportion
to nice, fine and llght-colored wrappers.
But of course the price is not given. 1t
would, perhaps, tend to injure the
chances to secure good leaf at low prices,
and while they give the price of Wiscon-
sin and Pennsylvania, as we'll as of Zim-
mers, yet while what is left Of the 99
Connecticut and York State tobaccos
are somewhat in the shade. From this
we must see that the so Connecticut to-
bacco is nearly out of the market. The
late damp weather will see all off the
poles he asserting shops are in full
blast now, and force sweating will be in
order. A portion of the packers are op-
posed to force sweating, and will hold
for the natural fermentations next sum-

encountered under the old methods. 1t
has been estimated that the Lancaster
county packers suffered losses from black
rot in the 1899 crop, from examinations
of lthe cases, the removal and losses on
the damaged goods and other charges
incurred, amounting in the aggregate to
30 cents on every case grown in the
county. All this is done away with and
the crop is cured within period of
thirty.five days into the bargain. 1t is
intended that several additional expert
mental rooms will be established and
that government experts will remain
there during the winter to superintend
the work. The scheme meets with much
favor from all who have seen it in opera
ton. Who will say now that the sug-
gestion thrown out few months ago,
ought not to have been acted upon.
