the combined proceeds a new clubhouse further
up the avenue would be built.
Members Of both clubs, when seen yesterday,

Passengers on q World'S Fair Flyer
DrOUned IN It's Cars.

Pueblo Col Aug S-The wreck of the
Worlds Fair flyer the Denver and Rio
Grande Railroad, near Eden. seven miles north
of Pueblo. last evening. proves TO have been one
Of the gIeatest railroad disasters in the history
of the country. The crowded passenger cars
and a baggage car were engulfed in the torrent
that tore out treste spanning Steele's IIol-
low, otherwise known Dry Greek. and, so far
known tonight. only three of the occupants
of these cars escaped death Fortunately, two
sleeping and a diner completing the train
remained on the track at the edge of the abyss
and none of their occupants were killed or in
jured.
How many perished probably never will be
definitely ascertained. for the treacherous sands
are drifting over the bodies Searching for the
dead was begun about midnight on an extensive
scale. and is still in progress tonight. All
corpses found brought TO Pueblo and
placed in four morgues here. AT S o'clock this
evening seventy-six bodies had been recovered,
and Of these hfty-seven 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 l o'clock this afternoon two bodies were
taken from the stream at First-st. Pueblo more
than eight miles from the point where the dis
aster occurred, and 1t is probable that some
may even be recovered further down stream.
None o: the bodies are badly mutiIated and all
are in such condition &c to be re-5s.riizanl
Many identhcations have been made BY articles
found on the bodies. persons who viewed
them recognizing the features.
The train left Denver at ; o'clock yesterday
afternoon for this city. 1t was in charge Of En-
gineer H.nman and Conductor J. H. Smith.
II is estimated by the railroad officials that
there were between one hundred and one hun
dred and twenty five persons on the train. Up
to a late hour last night twenty-six bodies
had been recovered and Identified. At > p. IN.
sixty bodies had arrived at Pueblo, thirty five
persons were still reported missing and a num-
