Deadly Grand Trunk Collision.

London, Ont, Dec. 2S.-A frightful
collision occurred a short distance
from the little station of Wanstead, on
the Sarnia branch of the Grand Trunk
railway. Friday night. The trains in
collision were the Pacific express and
a freight. The express was running
nearly two hours late and was making
fast time. The freight was endeavor-
ing to make siding to get clear OF
the express, but failed by minute or
two.
There was dreadful crash, the To-
comotives reared up and fell over in
ditch, the baggage car of the ex-
press telescoped the smoker. and in an
instant the shrieks and cries of the
wounded and dying filled the air.
The loss of life is twenty-eight. The
injured number many more and many
of these may die.
The responsibility for the accident
has not been definitely fixed. but it is
believed to have been due to tele.
graph operators error.

SMUGGLER-UNION
RESUMES WORK

Denver. Dec pa dispatch from
Telluride says that the Smuggler-
Union company has resumed opera
tions in some of the workings. The
old mill at Pandora began dropping its
eighty stamps at s o'clock Saturday
morning. and with the rear of the mill
has come a feeling of encouragement
throughout the city. About 140 min
ers are busy getting the ore out of the
Bullion tunnel level of the Smuggler-
Union workings, and thirty men are
employed at the Contention mine up
Bear creek.
The contract system has been entire
ly abolished by the company and the
miners are working by the day. 1t re-
quires some 300 tons of ore per day to
supply the eighty stamps. The Con-
tention mine will supply about 100 and
the Bullion from 200 to 225 tons.
About twenty men are employed in
the mill. Although the force now em-
ployed is about one-fourth of the full
quota, the spirits of the townspeople
have risen. as much of the towns sup
port was derived directly or indirectly
from the Smuggler-Union. The new
management has the good will and the
support of the community and the new
year will open brighter for this camp
than many had predicted.
o. B. Kemp is general superntend-
ent or resident manager; c. |. Car
ruthers, formerly timekeeper and clerk
at the mine, has succeeded Mr.. Kemp
as chief clerk at the Pandora offices;

Arapahoe county. It is charged that
they are primarily responsible for out
RACES against the purity Of the ballot.
and the complaint against these on
cials sets forth. among other things:
That they. having control Of the
election machinery. agreed to procure
false registration of names on the reg
istration sheets and books Of the coun-
ty. and caused the same to be padded,
and that they allowed the policemen
and firemen to aid in the work.
1t is alleged that agents Of the DEM
ocratic machine placed fictitious names
to the number of 10000 on the regis
tration lists. That OF 5000 formally
qualified persons on the list 1000 were
impersonated and voted by other par
ties: that County Clerk Aichele pre-
vented $500 legal voters. 1000 of
whom were Republicans. from regis

The allegations in all these contests
cover the same ground with charges
of error. fraud and mistake in regis
tration. intimidation of voters and the
rejection of legal votes.
The Senate contests are entitled

Bailey ct al. and II. w. Twombly

answer Senator Hill not only makes a
general denial. but also makes coun-
ter charges of fraud, error and mistake
in registration in receiving and reject
ing votes in favor of his Republican
contestor.
