Coal Road to be Sold.

Columbus, o., Sept. 24-This is
the date set for the foreclosure sale of
the Columbus, Sandusky & Hooking
railroad, which has been in the hands
of a receiver for about four years.
There is much speculation in railroad
and financial circles as to who will
bny the property. The Norfolk q
Western has had an eye on ii for some
time, and If secured by this line it
means, of course. that it will be oper-
ated by the Pennsylvania. The Hook
ing Valley also is supposed TO be in
the field AS bidder, and 1t is known
that the charter of 1899 provides for
the setting aside of certain amount
of bonds for the purchase. If the
Norfolk % Western bids it in, it Will
give them an almost straight line
from the great lakes to the Atlantic
seaboard The Hooking desires 1t for
the reason that it would give them
another lake port, ard to a certain ex-
tent, monopoly of the coal business
to the great lakes.

EXPLOSION OF
A LOCOMOTIVE
Another Frightful Accident
on the D. & R. G.
Engineer and Fireman Hurled into
Eternity Without a Moments
Warning-Acciden. Occurred
Last Night near Monument.

Monument, Colo. Sept. 24-At
$3.50 last evening Denver Il Rio
Grande freight enigne No. ll0i ex
ploded when about mile south of
this station, killing the engineer,
George Nj, Andrews and the fireman,
Thomas Philbin. both of Denver.
Andrews was blown high into the
air the limbs torn from the trunk and
scattered beyond the right of way
fence at least 200 yards from where
the explosion occurred. Owing to the
darkness his body was not discovered
until after a long search, in which a
party from Monument assisted, hav-
| ing been called to the wreck by the
noise of the explosion.
| The body of Philbin, mangled and
bleeding from score of wounds, lay
| 10 feet down the track He was un-
| conscious when found and died before
/
medical aid reached him from Monu-
ment.
The cause of the explosion is sup
posed to have been shortage of wat
or. The engine is one of the largest
in the Rio Grande service, being one
of the giant compound Baldwins re.
Gently put on for hauling heavy
freights.
The force of the explosion was
terrific. 1t picked the enigne Off thu
trucks, which We're left practically
undamaged on the track, and hurled
it in fragments in every direction
The big boiler was blown fully l5t
feet up the track and turned com
pletely over. A remarkable feature
of the accident is that the track wa
not torn up in the slightest and with
in three hours the wreckage had beei
cleared away, the trucks of the en-
gine being hauled to Borst siding, ant
traffic was not interrupted.
The push engine ran the train afte

Tax Rate too High.

Through an oversight on the part
of the city council two tax levies
were made last May for the same
purpose and last night called
meeting was held for the purpose of
repeating part of the levy. This ac-
ton by the council was made neces-
sary before a series of refundIng
bonds could be approved by the at
torney general. The repeal part of
the levy will require good deal of
extra work on the part of the city
assessor and collector. His rolls
and receipts for 1902 have already
been made out and about $50 coll
lected under a total levy of Sl.05 on
the 800 valuation of taxable prop
erty. The action Of the council last
night reduced the levy TO Sl.0l and
this will require a change If every
item, except poll taxes, on the col
lection rolls. A refund will also be
made to those parties who have al
ready paid their taxes for this year.

THE BIG SHOW IN THE CITY
Ringing Bros. Arrive and Give .
Magnificent Parade.

A good circus makes all the world
akin-at least that portion OF hui
manity within reach of the aforesaid
circus. 1t always has been, thus
and always will be, as long as hu-
man nature is human nature. There
is no danger but that a visitor to
the modern big show will get his
moneys worth, but the patrons of
the great Ringing Bros show are
sure to be more than pleased, for
this circus is in the very front rank
OF Americas tented enterprises. If
I its program of novel acts, geological
exhibits and display of fine horses
and cute ponies do not please, then
it is useless for another show to
try,
rhe above named circus arrived
this morning on four special trains
from Mckinney where a perform
ance was given yesterday. The first
train reached here this morning
about five O'Clock, bat on the ac-
count of an engine going dead it
was nearly nine O'Clock when the
last train arrived. On account Of
the failure of the trains to arrive on
time the street parade was delayed
two or three hours.
Today is a typical circus day, and
| long before the process of unloading
| the wagons, cages and animals had
been completed the streets and
| public square We're thronged with
people. They came from ali parts
of the country, in wagons, buggies,
carriages, on horseback and by
every other mode of conveyance.
The circus grounds near Ike Bull
lard's place in East End, early this
morning, was the Mecca of a large
crowd of the curiously inclined.
Here they drank pink lemonade and
ate peanuts to their hearts content.
On the streets, especially around
the public square, the scene pre-
scented was an interesting one.
There were the usual number Of
sights to be seen, and the crowd in
dulged In the fiippancies peculiar to
such an occasion.
For several hours before the time
scheduled for the parade the streets
We're lined with people, and all
along the route of the pageant the
masses stood patiently awaiting its
advent. When the head of the pa
rade finally hove in sight a cheer
went up from the throng.
The parade was among the best
ever gwen in this city by the Ring
lings. 1t was a pageant of match
less splendor and beauty, conpris-
ing several sections of cages con

ring in which all the animals and
