Los Angeles. Nov. 20.-A disastrously fatal wreck occurred on the Santa Fe at Franconia, AriZ.. twenty miles east of Needles at o'clock this morning. Limited trains Nos. and 4, west and east-bound respectively. crashed to- gether. going at full speed. Train No. 4 was drawn by two engines, while the west-b bound had but one. All three To- comotives were crushed and blown to pieces by an explosion that followed the collision.
 Both trains were made up of vesti- buled cars of the latest and most inn proved pattern. While these cars stood the shock we'll and protected the pas sengers to a great extent, several cars took fire and burned up. Two dining cars, two composites and one Pullman were destroyed
 The killed are:
 P. McELLIOTT, engineer.
 H. GOLDSMITH. fireman.
 H. BARNHARDT, barber.
 WALTER BEVERAGE, waiter.
 W. l.. CASE. fireman.
 W. H. ARMITAGE, fireman.
 SAM BROWN. waiter.
 The bodies of the last three are miss ing.
 Among the injured are:
 Conductors Morse and Higgins both badly cut and scalded.
 Engineers William and Holmes
 Walters Fair. Morton. Williams. Owen, Arnold, Bryant; all scalded and cut.
 Cooks Larson and Barse.
 Porters Webb and Letcher.
 All the injured other than the traia crews gave their residences as Chicago. Only three passengers were injured. as follows:
 P. J. Steenson. Pasadena.
 w. l.. Franklin, San Francisco.
 Mrs. H. H. Gibbon, Oakland.
 The collision is said to have been due to disregard of orders on the part of the westbound train, though particU- lars on this point are still lacking. From all accounts the east-bound train had orders to take the siding at Franconia and wait for the west-bound, which was two hours late. The east-bound failed to reach Franconia before the West-bound passed the siding, and the two came together mile west of the siding with an awful crash.
 The boiler of the west-bound train is said to have exploded after tn. crash. scalding those of the engine crews who were not killed outright. The bodies in the cases of Armitage and Brown are supposed to have been ere mated.
 A scene of awful confusion followed the collision The massive engines were piled up in an indescribable mass of broken and twisted steel, while sca!dinS steam hung in Q dense, suffo- eating cload over the debris amidst which the cries of the injured and dying enginemen could be heard. The heavy Pullmans and composite cars damned the dining and baggage cars upon the heated pile of wreckage, car lylng death to the dining car crews and setting the cars afire.
 Only meager details of the scenes fol- lowing the wreck are obtaina ble at this hour- AS soon as the news of the wreck reached Needles d relief train with local physicians left for Franco ma, where the dead and wounded were

the worst, says the brooklyn Eagle:
II was travelling on stage in a
rather wild part Of California, and ar
rived al a mining camp, where We had
10 get down for refreshments. As we
drove up the driver said They are
expecting you. Mr.. Sullivan was
much pleased. and whsn reached the
place found knot OF prominent citi-
gems at the whisky store. The fore
most Of them came up TO big burly
by my side and said: Are you MIR.
sullivan The man said NO. and
pointed to me. The citizen looked at
me rather contemptuousiy, and after
awhile said: Why, how much do you
weigh?'
II thought this was curious method
OF testing the power OF composer, but
