Struck by wall Of water Eight
Feet High In Colorado. ss,
Florence, Colo, Aug. ga Rio Grande
special passenger train from the East.
bound for California. was ditched just
east Of Florence, near swallows.
The wreck was caused by the train
being struck by wall Of water eight
feet high, coming down Peck creek.
caused by the heavy rains in the noun
tains south Of here.
The brakeman, saw the torrent when
1t was short distance from the train.
He rushed through the eight coaches
and told the passengers on the two rear
cars to hurry to the front Of the train.
Just! as the last tourist left the rear
car the water struck the car, and,
breaking the coupling pins, hurled them
into the air and landed them forty feet
from the. track. The trucks were
knocked OFF the day coach, which, after
striking the ground, went down fifteen
feet into the mud. The sleeper was
thrown against a., farm house. The
coach formed wall and turned the
water from the house, thus saving the
building from
Going Into the River,
and also the lives Of it's occupants. The
engine was badly damaged by the
water, but managed to pull the two
cars remaining on the track some dis
lance from the flood, and they are now
occupied by the tourists and trainmen.
Several robberies were committed on
the wrecked train. Mrs. M. E. Fonts
of Ottumwa, Iowa, reports the loss OF a
bag Of diamonds valued at 5000. Miss
c. H. Harshow of Cleveland lost pair
of diamond earrings valued at 5000.
News reached this city yesterday
that an enormous amount Of damage
was caused in Huerfano county, Colo,
by storms. So far four cloudbursts have
been reported.
The full amount of damage cannot
be estimated at this time, but it prob
ably will run into six figures. On the
other hand the storm, which broke a
long-continued drouth, will prove Of
great benefit to farmers and stock
growers. r-''---'.'-

Carpenter was shot three times through
the hand. In the scufHe the pistol was

Scranton. Pa. Aug. 9.---The Capouse
washery Of the Scranton Coal company,
q branch Of the Ontario & Western coal
department. was. destroyed yesterday
by fire Of unexplainable origin. The
flames were discovered few minutes
after the force of men returned from
dinner. The company officials allege
that the place was set on fire during tho
noon hour when the workmen were
away at dinner, and when only one man
was about the plant. The fact that a
washery fire was unknown until the
Bellevue washery burned week ago
tends to lend color to the suspicion that
the flames were not of accidental origin.

Miners and Agitators Are demanded
by Judge Gon.
Clarksburg, w. Va, Aug. 8.-Judge
Golf yesterday afternoon in a lengthy
opinion decided the habeas corpus case
against the miners and agitators and
remanded them to the custody of the
marshal and sheriff and they will be
removed to Parkersburg to serve the
balance Of their sentences. The judge
said that the only question was as to
jurisdiction and that the Guarantee
Trust Company of New York was en-
titled to a standing in court, and it was
not absolutely necessary for the fuel
company to be made a party to the suit.
The decision is a great disappointment
to the miners, and their counsel say
that no other action can be taken at
present at least.

Five That Have Been Flooded Are
Permanently Abandoned. e

Shenandoah, Pa, Aug. s. - William
Stein, the state mine inspector for the
Shenandoah region, yesterday an
rounced hat five collieries under his
jurisdiction which have an estimated
total value of 100000, have been rem
dered useless by reason of having been
flooced and have been permanently
abandoned. After the strike shall have
been ended most of the workmen will
have TO remain in idleness for another
period Of time until the collieries are
placed in working condition. In the
coal fields south Of here Mr.. Stein said
the situation IS about as bad. But in
the Wyoming and Lackawanna region
The mines are in much better condition.
The situation SO far as the reace of the
Shenandoah region is. concerned re-
mains unchanged. 1t was probably the
quietest day since the soldiers were
called out one week ago last night.

title, which is on record at the state
department in Washington.
No intimation that the vessel left
here with any arms on board was given
out until the news was received that
the japanese government had. laid
claim to the island and had dispatched
a war vessel there. Col. Thomas
Fitch then made public the instructions
given to Capt. Rosehill, which. while
designed

use force to drive them away.
Capt. Rosehill's instructions from the
company are to inform the Japanese on
Marcus island that his expedition. is a,
peaceful one for the purpose Of making;
a scientific investigation of the value
of the guano deposits on the island,
and attempt to make peaceful land
ing.
If the island was found to be Of value
the matter Of ownership was to be re-
ferred toN+he United States and Japan
csc governments. If the officers of thu
war vessel still refuse to allow land
ing, Capt. Rosehill was instructed TO-
start ashore with an armed force in a.
boat flying the American nag and at

London, Aug. 8.-The king arrived in

of his majesty riding in an open Ian

he having removed his silk hat. The
king kept continually bowling and sn1il-

rain during the drive to the palace. The
long route via Grosvenor Place and
Hyde Park corner, and thence down
Constitution hill was crowded. He was
