SCORES DIE IN
RAILWAY WRECKS.
Disaster in Arizona by Which Twenty Lives
Are Lost-Wreck in New Jersey Kills
Many More-Three Persons
Perish in Illinois.

Tucson, Ariz., Jan. 29.-~Twenty dead,
with perhaps dozen others cremated
in the fierce fire that followed COLI
sion between two fast trains on the
Southern Pacific railroad, and at least
16 persons seriously hurt, is the shock
ing report that comes from the scene
of the disaster near Vailsburg, II miles
east. Tucson gained its first tidings
of the disaster when a tourist coach,
torn away from the other cars, thun-
dered with terrific speed down the
grade upon which the road is built be-
tween this city and Vailsburg, and the
frantic passengers shrieked the dread
intelligence to the men at work in the
railroad yards.
Biunder Causes Wreck.
A dispatcher stationed at Esmond,
midway between Tucson and Walls
burg, is responsible for the accident.
He made a blunder in carrying out his
orders regarding the trains, and in
stead of side-tracking one of them he
caused the two to dash together in a
head-end collision at point where
each engineer considered that he had
clear track ahead. Oil from the To-
connective reservoirs caught fire and
was scattered over the wrecked
coaches, destroying II of them and
burning to death the passengers who
were pinned down in the wreckage.
Following is list OF. the dead, as far
as obtainable at this hour: j. M. Hill
ton, Cambridge, Mass; j. w. Bruce,
engineer; r. r. Wilkey, engineer;
George McGrath, fireman.
Besides the 10 seriously hurt, many
were cut, bruised and shaken up.
Twenty bodies were taken from the
splintered debris, but it is estimated
that ~ others were burned to death
and the remains are still in the wreck
age. The men in the engines were
killed at their posts except one fire.

STARTS BIG FIRE
Lightning Cr1ppIes Niagara Falls
Power Plant and Concerns
So Dope ndent Upon IL.

Niagara Falls, N. Y, Jan. 31.-At
$3.50 o'clock Friday night the tempo
rary repairs at the Niagara Falls
Power & Conduit company's plant
were completed, and the electrical
famine along the Niagara frontier
due to the early morning fire which
was started by a fash of lightning
was practically at an end. Power was
sent out from the plant an hour be-
fore that time, but it was not per-
manent owing to short circuit
which occurred in the power house
shortly thereafter, and which seri-
ously burned three men, one OF
whom may die. The short circuit
and the injury of the three men came
as climax to disconcerting incl
dents which had marked the day.
+. b. Rankin, vice president of the
company, said Friday evening: "The
ming, which entered the transformer
room and set fire to one of the cables.
The flames communicated to other
cables, and in short time the roof
of the transformer house was ablaze.
The cables were destroyed in a short
time and ii was necessary to shut
down power house No. /. Operations
in power house No. were not in
terfered with. There was no damage
to machinery in either power house.
In all, about 1000 feet of cable were
destroyed. There was supply of
cable on hand and sufficient to- re-
place it." The loss by fire is 'esti-
mated at $4,000.
Never before since the establish
ment of Niagara Falls power has
there been a delay of such magnitude.
1t was felt directly by thousands of
people in Buffalo, Niagara Falls,
Lockport and the Tonawandas and
intermediate points. Hundreds of
factories were shut down for the day
and the street car service was de-
Thousands of workmen
employed in the factories along the
river were temporarily thrown out
of employment. The officials of the
power company state, however, that
the seriousness of the situation was
not so great as was Mt first thought
possible. AS matter of fact, the
electrical famine lasted 10 hours. The
worst of il is over.

Won Sternburg, the German minister
to the United States, arrived in
night. He was accompanied by the
Baroness Speck Won Sternburg. They
were met at the station by one of
the German attaches and went at
once to the embassy residence. The
baron will not be able to take up
the Venezuelan negotiations with
Minister Bowen until he has present

will do this to-day.
In an interview in New York tho

up the threads of the Venezuelan
matter where his predecessor left
them. He continued: Concerning
the kaiser's attitude toward the main
question and the Mosroe doctrine ]

emphasis. The emperor has been
much misunderstood. He has no ul-
terror motive whatever. 1t is as alb
surd to think that he wishes to seize
territory in Venezuela as that he
wishes to colonize the moon. The
moment he grabbed land his trade
would be lost. The situation would
be the same as IL he grabbed prov

tries. The days of the old diplomacy
are past, l think. l consider myself
as much a representative of your
country as l do of the emperor.
Questions of this sort should be dis

best understanding maintained and

The Disaster.

to proceed on the express track to

at full speed, which at that point
usually approximates 65 miles an

(Communicatedl

Several days ago a squad of police of ficers headed by Chief Austin and armed With a fictitious warrant raided my apart ments over my place of business, claim ing negro man was hidden in my store room. There was no negro man there, and told them so, but they insisted and broke Tn my doors. 1 was placed under arrest, charged with violating the Sum- day law. It was given out to the public that my goods were confiscated. This was false, and 1 believe Chief Austin S action was political trick pure and sim pie to further his own schemes. My case was heard before Judge Feagin today and was honorably acquitted.
 My reason for writing this Is to inform my friends in the First ward of the true facts in the case and that they may know of Austin's methods to secure notoriety in the hopes of being reelected chief of police. My attorneys have instructed me that I have good grounds for a damage suit, and I will probably institute one in the near future. P. F. GOSS

 Crowds of men and woman, eager to regain investments, surged into the offices of the various investment companies to- day and all were doomed to disappoint- ment, except the International Invest ment company investors About o'clock this company suspended payment and de- manded the stipulated thirty days notice of withdrawal. The United Turf Invest ment company did not open its offices to- day and a sign on the door announced that payments had been suspended in- definitely.
 Investors In the firm of John J. Ryan & Co., waited with hope the return Of Manager John Ryan. He arrived this morning and the hope was dissipated by his announcement that the assets of his firm were not sufficient to meet the de- mands for withdrawals. The investors in the firm of E. J. Arnold & Co. gen. orally say that they have given up all hope of recovering anything. This was the first concern to suspend business.
 Late this afternoon the February grand jury dropped all other business in order to take up the investigation of the turf investment companies. Ryan was sum moned to appear before that body and a similar subpoena was issued for Arnold. who is in Hot Springs.
