PUEBLO, Colo, Aug. S.-The wreck
of the Worlds Fair flyer on the Denver
and Rio Grande Railroad near Eden,
seven miles north of Pueblo, last even
ing, proves to have been one of the
most appalling railroad disasters in the
history of this country. Two crowded
passenger cars and a baGg ge car were
engulfed in the torrent that tore out
a trestle spanning Steele's Hollow,
otherwise known as Dry Creek, and,
so far as known tonight, only three of
the occupants of those cars escaped
death Fortunately, two sleepers and
a diner, completing the train, remained
on the track at the edge of the abyss
and none of their occupants were killed
or injured
How man perished probably will
never be 1finitely ascertained. for the
treacherous sands are drifting over the
bodies. Search for the dead was begun
at midnight on an exter sive scale and
was still in progress tonight. All
corpses found were brought to Pueblo
and placed in four morgues here. At
10 o'clock tonight eighty seven
bodies had been recovered and of these
fifty had been identified During the
day bodies were recovered all the way
along Fountain River from the scene
of the wreck to this city At 1 o'clock
this afternoon two bodies were taken
from the stream at First street, Pueblo,
more than eight miles from the point
where the disaster occurred, and 1t is
probable that some may be recovered
even farther down stream.
None of the bodies are badly mutt
lated and all are in such condition
as to be recognizable. Many identi-
fications have been made by articles
found on the bodies.
ENGINEER DIES AT HIS POST.
So quietly had the catastrophe been
enacted that the occupants of the three
cars remaining on the track did not
realize that an accident had occurred
until they alighted from the train, and
they were utterly powerless to render
any assistance to the victims who had
disappeared in the rushing waters.
On the lookout for danger warned
by the squally clouds and heavy rains
to the north, Engineer Charles Hind
man was running cautiously, about
fifteen miles an hour, as he approached
the arroyo, which was spanned by a
bridge ninety-siX feet in length. The
condition of the bridge was not known
until the locomotive, one of the mon
ster passenger type, had nearly
crossed. Fireman Frank Mayfield, with
a large torch which the engineer and
fireman had been using to ascertain
the condition of the track, was in the
gangway. When Engineer Hindman
felt the tremor in the great machine
and caught glimmer on the water, he
shouted his last words, put out that
torch,' evidently thinking that in the
accident he felt certain was coming the
flames would serve to spread fire.
But, before MayfieId could obey.
while the words were still on the lips
of the doomed engineer and his hand
was seeking the mechanism controlling
the air brakes, the bridge gave way as
il it had been a stack of kindling wood
and the locomotive dropped with the
kissing of steam through thirty feet of
flood to the bottom of the arroyo,
crosswise to the track.

ROBBERS KILLED WHILE
FIGHTING OVER LOOT
Three Bandits Are Discovered by Of

in Attack.

CANANEA, Mexico, Aug. 8.-Jesus
Herida, Ramon Gutierrez and Daniel
Rodriguez, three Mexican bandits, en-
gagged in a desperate conflict over the
spoils from stage hold-up. They Were
discovered Saturday near Puerticitos
by half-dozen rurales. who heard the
shots exchanged in the fight, which re-
suited in the death of Herida, the worst
of the outlaws.
The rurales came upon the outlaws in
the canyon where they were fighting
over the loot, just as Herida had fallen.
Gutierrez and Rodriguez, knowing that
capture at the hands of the rurales
would mean death, turned upon the Of
hcers and were shot down on the spot
where they had murdered their COM
panion few minutes before. The kill
ing rids the border country of three o.

The Poor Mans Day.

- In all our towns, and throughout too
large a portion of our country districts,
the Sabbath rest is violated and the wor-
ship which was the. consequence and con.
dition of this rest is abandoned. At.the
same time the soul is deprived OF its pour-
ishment and the body Of its repose. The
poor man and the workingman are, deliv.
cred up, unprotected, to the every day IN.
creasing influence Of error and evil. Thus
the, PROCLAMATION Of the. day has become
the ruin of the moral and physical health
Of the. people, at the same time that it IN Is
erty. The Sabbath is emphatically the
poor mans and the working mans day.
And tnere is no surer way to break down
the health. as well as me morals and re-
ligion of the people, than to break. down
the Sabbath. To say nothing Of the, Di-
vine law, on mere worldly grounds it is
plain that nothing is more conducive to
the health, intelligence, comfort and inde-
pendence of the working classes and to
our prosperity as people than our Chris.

Getting AL We Deserve.

Happy is the man who realizes be is
getting all he deserves in this world: The
man who relies upon God is sure Of that.
We know that God is just with His own.
And We know, or ought to know, also,
that the world estimates us at about our
real value. =.
We may not realize it so much in our
own case as in those of others. We WON
der sometimes that persons of certain pro-
nounced abilities have no higher place in
the world than they do have, while others
who have less talent along certain lines
seem to be better appreciated.
The trouble is that We sometimes fail
to consider the whole man. The world
knows what it wants and will usually Sc
lect that. It is not the potent intellect
which always makes the complete man. nan.

potent than talent. But the Chri ian of
average intelligence, combined VII real
humility. will have great power e

Living in Hope.

The habit of living in the future should

even when it is fixed upoa the changing
and uncertain things of this world. But
the hopes Of men who have not their

themselves on the cloud wrack that rolls
along the hanks of the mountains; while
our hopes pierce within that veil, and lay

by Him who is the God Of all the past and

Originality That Paid.

Originality with cabmen gives them
about the same measure Of success
as is acquired in any other business.
4 traveller who alighted at New Haven
a few days ago was surprised as he
walked out on the platform to see a
fine rig dash up toward him and to
hear a well dressed and polite cabby
say as he touched his hat: How do
you do, sir? 1 have been waiting for
you"
"Why, how is that?" exclaimed the
visitor. II came out here to look for
a fire-cent carriage.
"Oh, if that's the case, you'll find
them over there" added the cabby,
pointing to the trolley cars, but I'll
carry you more comfortably and it'll
only cost you a quarter"
"Well, if that's the case, and you've
been waiting for me, I would be sorry
to disappoint you, and guess I'll have
to let you take me up in the town. y
and the visitor climbed into the hack,
while the bright cabby cracked his
whip gleefully as he ratified up the
street.-New York Times.
