LIVES SAVED BY
A MIRACLE
Train Carrying Dynamite
Is Wrecked, but Not a
Stick of Powder ExplOdes

RENO. Feb. 2S-A trainload Of dy-
namite consigned to the Southern Ne
vada mines. was wrecked at Mound
house to-day. Seven cars in all were
piled up. One car was splintered into
kindling wood and the contents, con-
sisting of dynamite caps and cart
ridges, were scattered over a wide ter
ritory. The wreck occurred In the CEN
ter OF Moundhouse. Two hundred or
more lives were endangered.
Strange as 1t may seem not a single
cap or stick OF the explosive material
exploded. How a catastrophe was
averted Is a mystery that cannot be
explained. No one was injured in the
mix-up. which was caused by spread
ing rails.

The vicinity of Third and Townsend

the small boy yesterday. The occasion
was the arrival of the Norris & Rowe
circus from winter quarters at San

for it will open the spring. tour in this
city and will have several rehearsals
before the first public performance next
Saturday afternoon.
AS the elephants were being unloaded
at the depot several horses were start
led at the unusual sight and made a
break for liberty. Upon their arrival

efforts of the other elephants to drag

To add to the excitement Captain
Debro and his miniature wife went
for stroll down Market street. with
the result that they soon biockaded
the thoroughfare and it took a squad
of policemen to escort the little folks
back to the Pavilion. Captain Debro
brought to this country from the icy
zone of the north.
Mechanics Pavilion is being fitted
with bunting flags and stream
ers to give it the proper festive ap-
pearance for the circus engagement.
The big indoor show is always a
popular one here, and as it brings
many new features, especially in the

to the fact that nobody can point to
Philadelphia and say that the foreign
born population did it. Phila lelphia
has a population more nearly what is
generally described as native-born than
any other large city in the United
