Salvation Army Colony,

Denver. Nov. 26.-The Denver News
says: The Salvation Army has practi-
cally completed the issuance of $780,
COO thirty-year five per cent. gold
bonds, the proceeds of which will be
used for the extension of the army's
successful colony In the Arkansas val
lty In this state and for the establish
ment of other colonies.
The army's colonization lands, when
fully supplied with water. Will have a
value, 1t is estimated. OF $25O,OOO. and
the bonds are mortgage on them.
The security is considered so sound
that $12O.OUO of the bonds have been
taken by Myron Il. Herrick, Washing
ton Il. Connor, Senator Mark Hanna,
George Il. Hopkins. John F. Mulhol-
land, Benjamin Tracy and other prom
inent men.
Applications from more than 1000
families anxious to escape from large
cities are on file with the army, so
that all the land can be placed In pro-
ductive hands at once.
A special article in the News n few
weeks ago described the splendid sue
cess Of the colony in the Arkansas
valley. The army resells the land on
easy terms to Its colonIsts, and some
Of them already have their farms

INSTANTANEOUS DEATH
OF EX-GOVERNOR WAITE

Denver, Nov. 2S.-A Denver News
special, dated Mt Aspen, Colo, Novem-
Der 21tl, says:
Ex-Governor Davis II. Waite died at his
home In this city, corner of Second and
Francis streets, nt . o'clock this morn
ing
Notwithstanding the fact that the
aged ex-governor has been In failing
health for some months, no such sud-
den termination of his life was eX-
pected, and the shock to the communi-
ty was severe.
The ex-governor was sitting In the
kitchen. peeling apples and conversing
with his wife. He appeared to be
more than usually cheerful, and In eX-
cellent spirits. He suddenly stopped
In the middle of sentence, glanced ap-
pealingly at Mrs. Waite, gasped con-
vulsively and fell upon lounge.
While awaiting the arrival of n physi-
clan, n trained nurge administered n
hypOdermic injection of digitalis to in
crease heart action, but all to no avail,
and the venerable statesman passed
peacefully away Il few minutes later,
without regaining consciousness. Not
trace OF pain was visible. and in
death a smile wreaths the lips and
gives evidence that there was no sting
In the king of terrors.
No definite funeral arrangements
have been made, as word is being
awaited from Mrs. Mary Garrison, the
governors only living child, who is
now In Kansas City. Mrs. Garrison
was recently here to visit her father.
In all probability the interment will
be Saturday. Rev. Mr.. Ellis of the
Methodist Church conducting the
funeral service.
The immediate cause of the death OF
Ex-Governor Waite was paralysis. He
had one parnlytic stroke in March and
another In May. and 1t was generally
recognized by his family and friends
that the third would prove fatal. He
was seventysiX years of age.

Denver. Nov. N.-The grand fury In
the District Court, specially summoned
to Investigate the bribery charges in
connection with the second trial Of w.
w. Anderson for the shooting Of
Messrs. Tammen and Bonfls OF the
Denver Post, reported yesterday to
Judge Johnson.
Accompanying the report were in
dictments against II. II. Tammen, Po-
lice Magistrate W. J. Thomas, Daniel
J. Sadlier and Robert Schrnder. The
bills against these four contain twenty
six counts and cover every possible
alleged infrnction of the statutes refer
ring to embracery.
All Of the persons indicted were
communicated with last night and
Thomas, SadlIer and Schrader will be
served with capIases this forenoon Mt
the office Of their attorney, Thomas
Ward, Jr. II. II. Tnmmen Is In Chi
cago, but will be in this city by Satur-
day. The result of the grand jury de-
liberations was telegraphed to him last
night.
The indictments charge embracery,
soliciting another to commit embracery
and conspiracy to commit embrncery
against all four. Agruinst II. ii. Tam
men are ten counts. Against Sadlier
and Schrnder are each two separate
counts charging perjury, and Thomas
is indicted on three Separate counts.
The report of the jury covers all
those points suggested by Judge john

Of the report is taken up with refer

which the Jury was called. The cir
cumstnnces attending the trial Of w.

Detroit. Mich, Nov. 28.-From 100
10 1SO nersons were killed or injured
to.n,rht In wreck on the Wabash rail
road Two heavily-loaded passenger
trains collided head-On at full speed
east Of Seneca, the second station west
Of Adrian. The westbound train, COM
nosed of two cars loaded with emil
grants and five other coaches, was
Smashed and burned. with awful loss
of life and fearful injuries to ma
iority of its passengers. The east
bound passenger train, the Continental
Limited, suffered in scarcely less de-
gree.
The track in the vicinity of the
wreck is strewn with dead and dying.
Many physicians from Detroit have
gone to the scene.
The Continental Limited, the east
bound train, was driven by Engineer
Strong and was in charge of Conduc-
tor G. ]. Martin.
The westbound emigrant train was
double-header and was driven by En-
rineer Work with Engineer Parks, the
conductor being Charles Toll. The
eastbounu train, 1t is believed, dis
obeyed orders in not waiting at Seneca
for the westbound train, thereby caus-
Ing the wreck.
The track Mt the point where the col
lision occurred was straight, and at
first the officials could not understand
how the accident could have happened.
The westbound train, which ordinarily
is due to leave Detroit at 2:3O O'Clock,
was two hours late. leaving at p. m.
The two trains are scheduled to meet
Mt Montpelier. Ohio. but, rs stated,
had been ordered to meet at Seneca.
The blame is, therefore, placed on the
conductor of engineer Of the east
bound train, as the accident would not
have occurred had this train been held
Mt Seneca. Apparently orders to wait
were disobeyed, and the probabilities
are that the true story of why will
never be told, as the train crews un-
doubtedly met instant death.
Advices from the wreck tonight
state that the country for miles around
is lighted up by the burning cars and
that the flames could not be Quenched
because of lack of proper apparatus.
Mangled bodies We're picked up along
the track by the farmers before the
special train sent from Adrian arrived
on the scene. In some instances the
bodies We're mangled beyond all rec
ognition.
All the immigrants on the westbound
train are believed 10 be Italians en-
route from New York west.
The people on that train We're caught
like rats in trap and crushed. Then

Concerning the care Of the Ander-

after the case had been committed TO
the Jurors for their deliberation; that
these intoXIcants were used Dy the
Jurors whenever they so desired; ana
that one juror had supplied to him

carried about with him during the ses-
sions upon his person; and that from
the time OF the empaneling OF such

was permitted. cOnnived mt and invit-

TT also establishes that after the

TO be considering the abolition OF

"Black Maria" is curious. When New

from the mother country a negress.
named Maria Lee. kept a sailors
boarding house In Boston. She was
q woman of great strength. and help
ed the authorities to keep the peace.
Frequently the police invoked her aid.
and the saying. Send for Black Maria. ''
came to mean "Take him to jail" Brit
ish seamen were often taken to the
lookup by this amazon. and the sto-
ries they spread of her achievements
led to the name OF Black Maria being
given to the English prison van.
