Judge Spurrier of Des Moines
Out for CuAnmins.

Des Moines, Iowa, Sept. 2.-Judge
Spurrier of Des Moines, who has
voted the Democratic ticket and been
active in the management of Demo
clatic State campaigns since 1896,
has announced his intention to sup
port Cummins for Governor.
Prior to 1896 Judge Spurrier was q
Republican. He in 1897 resigned
from the district bench, to which he
had been elected as Republican.
Judge Spurrier said:
"WhiIe / cannot indorse those por-
lions of the platform adopted at
Cedar Rapids which may be desig-
mated as the courtesies of the con-
vention to the past administration of
the state and nation, yet feel that
the attitude of Mr.. Cummins is such
as merits the commentator of
thoughtful people everywhere, and
considering his special fitness, his
energy and ability, his integrity, and
all that goes to constitute an ideal
Governor, feel it would be a viola
ton of good conscience to oppose
him.

Kirk T. Downs, his son.
Henry Blair, cook aboard Mr.. Downs
private car.
Thlrty-three Scandinavian laborers,
names unknown.
Injured:
Thirteen Scandinavian laborers, names
unknown.
Cause of the Wreck.
The wreck was caused by the
breaking in two of freight train on
the steep grade of Rocky Mountain
foothill. The rear end of the freight
tore loose from the head end, dashed
backward down the mountain and
crashed into the rear end of pas
senger train, which was just pulling
out of the station at Nyack. The car
attached to the rear end of the pas
senger was the private coach of Su-
| perintendent Downs. lie and his
son, Kirk, and their cook, Henry
Blair, were instantly killed. The car
| just ahead contained 46 Scandinavian
laborers enroute from Duluth, Mimi,
to Jennings, Mont. They were killed
wholesale. Only Is were taken from
the debris alive.
Fire Immediately following the col
lision quickly destroyed the private
car, cremating the bodies of those
within.
| Twenty-Eight LabOrers Cremated.
The flames were quickly communi-
| Gated to the car ahead, or rather to
what remained of it, and the bodies
of 2S of the unfortunate laborers also
were cremated. The third from the
rear also was burned, but those with
in managed to escape when the col
lision occurred The fire continued
to spread through the mass of debris
caused by the destruction of the doz,
en- or more freight cars, and their
consignments of valuable freight.
Finally, the passenger train was cut
in two between the third and fourth
cars from the rear, and the balance
was drawn to safe distance from
the fire.
All telegraph wires on the pole:
alongside the tracks were soon melt
ed and communication was thus cut
of few moments after the collision
Physicians were taken to the scene
from this city and AL traffic was fol
time suspended while the wrecl
and train crews endeavored to rescue
the bodies of the dead and clear W
| the debris.

Lost by the steamer Explosion.
on the Delaware River.

Philadelphia, Aug. Silt is now
reasonably certain that at least rs
persons persisted as a result of the
explosion of one of the boilers of the
steamer City of Trenton on the Della

day afternoon. This conclusion is
reached by the police authorities
through the fact that II persons who
are reported by their relatives or
friends to have been on the steamer
have not yet been found. These
missing persons, with II bodies al
ready recovered, make q total of %.
Ten persons are still in a serious con-
dition as a result of the disaster, of
whom four are in critical condition
