BoHFIRRs LIGHTED.


London, July 1.-The general feel
ing of relief as a result of the ia
vorable reports Of the condition Of
the king vented itself last night by
the touching off of the 5000 bonfires
throughout the United Kingdom,
which were originally prepared to
celebrate coronation night. The sig.
nal to light the fires was given at
five minutes past nine o'clock. A
rocket was sent up from the top of
the gigantic wheel in Earl's court
and burst in cloud OF stars, 1000
feet overhead. In response to this
signal bonfires rose from every eleva-
ton of any consequence from the
Lizard to Orkneys. The celebrations
were unfortunately somewhat damp
ened by downfall of rain.
London was not officially illumi-
mated 1t had been hoped that the
Mansion house, the Bank Of England
and Marlborough house would join
in the celebration, all their illumi-
mating stands being intact, but none
Of the official decorations were lit
up. The display in London in this
line was confined to the theaters, the
hotels and the business houses on
the Strand, Fleet street and other
thoroughfares. There was quite a
celebration at Spithead yesterday,
when the nearest approach to a re-
view Of the great feet there was
seen in the trip Of several transports
loaded with volunteers and colonial
troops and a number of distin-
guished persons, who inspected the
empires first line OF defense.

STRUCK A BROKEN RAIL.
Excursion Train on tho Colorado Midland
Railway Meets with % Accident Co
ing Down Ute Pass.

Colorado Springs, COL, June 3O.-At
1910 yesterday morning an excur-
sion train on the Colorado Midland
railway, coming down Ute pass from
Cripple Creek, struck broken rail
and seven cars were piled into .
shapeless mass. One man, Francis
M. English, Of this city, was instant
ly killed and about 80 other passen-
gers were more or less injured, three
or four probably fatally. The wreck
occurred at an abandoned station
known as Culber's siding, one mile
east Of Cascade, in Ute pass, and ~
miles from Colorado Springs. A pas
senger rate war that has been in ef-
feet for seven months between the
railroads running from this. city to
Cripple Creek had been called of,
the rates to 60 up July /, and as q
result the train was crowded to its
uJtcTllOSt.
The cars that left the rails and
went over the embankment north Of
the track contained 81 passengers
and 1t was by the most miraculous
escapes that could be imagined that
the death list was not enormous.
The second car on the train, a day
coach, was crushed TO kindling wood,
being turned completely over on its
end, so that the rear end Of the
coach was forward. The third coach
plunged clear through the second
and it was in the forward end Of
this car that Mr.. English was killed.
