this afternoon, eight Americans and
sixteen Greeks were killed and twelve

had orders to meet extra No. 2S33 at
Jackson, a small telegraph station on
the cutoff and about eighty-five miles
from Ogden. Extra 1888 was taking
the siding and extra 2116, which held
the right of track, was coming down
the grade into the station. The air
brake failed to work and 2116 could
not make the stop and crashed into
1883 on the switch. A terrific explO-
sion followed and many of the cars
were blown to pieces. among the num-

were blown about 200 feet from the
track. The Greek labOrers were in

car containing the dynamite and were
nearly all killed. A relief train was
sent out from this city with doctors
and the injured were brought into this
city late tonight. Conductor Owen

The explosion was terrific, and the
town of Terrace. fifteen miles TO the
north, on the main line of the Southern
Pacific, was shaken as by an earth
quake. The telegraph station at Colon,
ffty-five miles distant, had every win
dow name broken. The explosion was
so tremendous that the first knowledge
of the disaster, instead of being re-
ceived by telegraph from the scene OF
the disaster, was communicated from
Terrace and Lucin, operators at those
points reporting to headquarters that
a calamity had occurred. The people
OF Terrace, looking south across the
old lake bottom, saw an immense cloud
of white smoke ascend from Jackson
Point and spread out at a great height
and then flames burst forth.

Summer Wraps.

All evening shoulder wraps may be
divided into capes and pelerines, and
they are composed OF lace, chiffon, silk
and crepe. A very smart little shoulder
cape was eveloved from champagne-col-
ored silk, crepe shirred back and front,
the upper part OF the cape composed Of
two broad shirrings, separated and edged
by lace galloons in self-toned guipure.
From the lower lace bands fell a gradu-
ated founce Of the crepe, very short IN
the front and very deep in the back
with under nOunces Of accordion pIeat-
ing in the same color, edged with ruch-
ing. The fichu was knotted over the
chest with long ends Of accordion pieat-
ed chiffon. held in place with a circular
gold buckle set in Jewels. Such a wrap
can be worn with any summer gown OF
elaborOte design All sorts Of lace scarfs
are IN vogue, and some very pretty scarf
effects are shown in plain and dotted

reasons for this failure TO keen paca

early history of the fair the gates were
thrown open on Sunday and in the 6rst
nine Sundays OF the fair there were
more than 10000 admissions. At St
Louis the grounds have been strictly,
closed on the Sabbath. and no amount
OF money could purchase entrance. An
other cause is found in the fact that
Chicago had a far greater local poUula-
ton 20 draw upon than has ST I.ouis
