Engineer Coey Says He Did Not Forget ORDERS but Ran Past
Switch While Engrossed With Strange Engine

collision occurred on the Southern Pacific
Railroad at Uplands Thursday morning
Is still the scene Of many visitors curious
to view the wreck of two iron horses.
People from far and near flock to the
scene of the disaster anxiously watching
every movement made by the clearing
crew, fearful that some friend might be
uncovered at any minute. The debris is
being raised as rapidly as human hands
can accomplish It, but 1t will be three or
four days before the work will be COM
pleted.
--latest reports received in this city give
the finding of one more body and many
more are expected to be found. Reports
were current here this morning that ow-
ing to the southbound train being late
Wednesday night the engineer on this
train was given orders at King City to
remain there until the arrival of the
northbound train, but on looking at his
watch he claimed he had ample time in
which to reach the switch.
The night operator at King City, on be-
ing questioned in regard to the matter,
says he gave no such orders and that all
talk about him giving any warning Of
that nature is fictitious. He says the in
structions to both engineers were plain
and explicit.

would have reversed the engine only for its
having driving brakes. Every wheel on the
engine was equipped with brakes which are
capable of stopping her quicker than be
done by reversing which causes her to slide
as II down chute.
I am going to be at the investigation to-
morrow If 1 have to be taken on stretcher
and believe that railroad men will not blame
me when the evidence is all in.
Superintendent Worthington said yes
terday:
Coney was one of the best engineers on the
road. He was always careful. conscientious
and capable. Conductors were always glad to
have him on the engine for then they felt
safe. He has been railroading for fourteen
years. For six years he was fireman. then
he promoted to engineer and for a long
time he ran on freight train For two years
and half he has been hauling passenger
trains. There is no doubt Of his competency
and reliability. He was always sober and
home He certainly deserves sympathy, for
the poor fellow is almost crazed and his In
quiries about the dead and injured are piteous
1 went to see him this morning. not to put
him on the rack. but out OF sympathy.
The situation Coffey faced was so elementary
that his mistake seems unexpainable. There
were no complications. He had a simple order
received at San Ardo. 1t the only order
in his possession and No. 10 was the only
train with which he had to concern himself.
The most inexperienced man in the business
would have had cause to become confused.
There IS doubt to the speed of the
train. No. left San Ardo at 1886. The
collision occurred at exactly Loo. The distance
between San Ardo and Uplands is 81 miles
and the wreck was at a point g of a mile
farther west. making the distance Travelled in
IL minutes exactly 6z miles. That shows the
train to have been travelling at the rate Of
thirty miles an hour. and all statements of
the rate being forty to fifty miles an hour are
nonsense Engineer Coffey believes the speed
was not more than twenty miles an hour when

FREIGHT TRAINS COLLIDE
ON THE NORTHERN PACIFIC

TACOMA, Dec. 20.-Two extra freight
trains on the Northern Pacific collided
near Weston at $50 o'clock this after
noon. Both engines were damaged, ten
cars were derailed and the track was
blocked for several hours. Wrecking out
fits from Tacoma and E1lensburg were
sent to clear the tracks. The cars dam
aged were laden with coal. Conductor C..
A. Fisk on the eastbound train was
slightly injured. Engineer Kelly, on the
westbound train, has not yet been found
and there is a possibility that he may be
found under the wreck. The cause of
the accident is being investigated

Investigation at
Once.

- HE death list Of the Southern
Pacific disaster at Uplands, Mon
terey County, has reached a total
II Of five, and there it is likely to
stop, as none of the other Injured
passengers or trainmen are believed to
be in danger Of succumbing to their in
juries. Two Italians, John Cordona and
Francisco Savanna, died early yesterday
morning at the Southern Pacific Hos
pital Another charred body was olsen
tombed from the wreckage at Uplands at
noon. 1t is supposed to be the body Of

The members Of the train crews were
in attendance yesterday at the inquest
at San Lucas on the bodies of William

Engine Breaks Down.

SAN JOSE, Dec. 2O.-The north-bound
Los Angeles express had a succession Of
breakdowns tonight, finally being tied up
for several hours at a point about three
miles from San Jose. A broken eccentric
was said to be the cause Of the trouble.
Efforts were made to secure an engine
from San Jose. Conductor Muller took a
passengers bicycle that was in the bag
gage car and rode around the neighbor-
hood seeking assistance. Passengers tried
to find a telephone but their efforts were
unavailing. Finally the break was re-
paired and the train crawled into San
Jose many hours late. The passengers
were landed in San Francisco nearly three
hours behind time.

set and the throttle of Coffey's engine closed
whether by Coffey or by the fireman, Dameron,
I do not know.
The engine, 1895, under Coffey's control. is
one of the finest large eight-wheel passenger
engines belonging to the Southern Pacific Com
pany. 1t Is of the &c. W." class and has
72-inch driver. 10000 pounds on the drivers
and 100 pounds of steam. She has been giving
excellent service on through overland trains
on the western division for long time and
was assigned to the coast division when the
new card took effect December 6. She was
in first-class shape and the superintendent and
master mechanic Of the western division OBJ
jected strenuously to the engine being taken
from them Any contention by Coffey that the
engine was cranky and took his attention
from the track will scarcely prove valid.
Cordona and Savanna, the two men who
died in the hospital yesterday, were Ital-
ian section hands who were returning
to Cordona's home in Oakland, where
they intended passing the holidays. Cor
dona was So years old, and he leaves a

Clark Cross Gets Verdict in the Suit Against Him in
 Jackson County

Scottsboro, March 16.-(Special. )-The case of the executors of John R, Coffey vs. Clark Cross, which had been pending in the Circuit Court of this county for several years, has finally been disposed of the jury in the case rendering ver- dict in favor of the defendant.
 This suit was for $17. 600, the value of two promissory notes.
 These notes, so the defendant claims were given for the purpose of defeating claim for ahmony in the suit brought by the wife of Major Cross against him for divorce and alimony in 1SSS
 All parties concerned in this case are quite wealthy, and some of the best legal talent in the State was employed on both sides. The commissioners court before the death of General Coffey, endeavored to raise his taxes because of soms re- ported indebtedness held against Cross
 but the commissioners who then com | posed the court say that General Coffey | then testified that Cross lowed him noth- | ing. The case was hard fought one, and
 many witnesses were examined.
 l An expert on Handwriting was brought | here from New York, and his testimony was quite interesting. He testified that | the face of the two notes in question

Il HUNG CHANG IS APHYSICAL WRECK Is Apparently in a State of
 Utter Collapse
MENTALLY BRIGHT AS EVER
His Approach to Deaths Door Is 2 Matter of Grave Consideration as it Would be mpossi-
 ble to Fill Ills Place.

Pekin, March 17-The health of Il Hung Chang is again a matter of grave consideration to the ministers of the pow CTS MT. Rockhill, the American special commissioned. who visited Earl Ii yes terday, says he is a physical wreck and apparently in a state of utter collapse, although mentally as bright as ever. MT Rockhill would not be surprised to hear of his death at any moment.
 The removal of Ii Hung Chang by death or any other cause at the present moment would be very unfavorable.
 M deGiers, Russian minister, said to- day:
 "Li Hung Chang is great diplomat and his influence with the Chinese court is absolutely unique. No other man in China approaches him in this respect This influence is not temporary, but it is particularly effective at important mo- ments in the history of China like the present.
 Senor deCalogan, Spanish minister, and Doyen of the diplomatic corps, said:
 "The Chinese court could not appoint a plenipotentiary of the same calibre with the same influence with the Chinese and the foreigners. Although many of the ministers of the powers object to po- litical methods, and regard him as es- sentially a trimmer, nevertheless they realize he is the best possible man to represent China in the present emergen- cy. Orders have been received by United States troops to depart next month, leav- ing behind only 150 infantry. The. Heg.- an headquarters staff assert ,ttat these in- structions are a "g"e5t mistake, alleg- ing that it is Necessary to retain large body of foreign troops in the country for at least two years. Most of the ministers, however take a different view of the matter believing that the course is to re- tain few of the troops of each nation and to withdraw the rest.
