the signal and applied the EN-.
ergency brakes, but did not
have time to leave his seat be-
fore the collision took place.
AN inspection of the tel
egraph sheets in each of the
block stations substantiates this
belief. The sheet at Rangoon
shows that No. 33 was given the
block by operator Mattoax and
the sheet at Lawyers shows that
Mattoax had not notified the
operator there that No. 33 was
on the block and entitled to it.
A fuller investigation will
be. made as speedily as possible,
but we do not expect to develop
additional facts. The cOmpany
has a number of men securing
the country in the hope of To-
eating MattOax, but up to late
hour this afternoon we have been
to ascertain anything as
to his whereabouts"

Catarrh Cannot be Cured

with LOCAL APPLICATIONS, as
they cannot reach the seat of the
disease. Catarrh is a blood or con-
stitutional disease, and in order to
cure it you must take internal rem

internally, and acts directly on the
blood and mucous surfaces. Halls
Catarrh Cure is not a quack med
icine. 1t was prescribed by one of
the best physicians in this country
for years and is a regular prescrip-
ton. 1t is composed of the best
blood purifiers, acting directly on
the mucous surfaces. The perfect

SUNDAY NIGHT WRECK.
Fourteen Cars and Engine go
Through Bridge.

From Mondays FL Paso Herald
we clip the following report o
the wreck on the Southwestern
north of here, as follows:
Fourteen cars, the tender
and engine of a Southwestern
extra freight train, westbound
were derailed on the eastern
division of the Southwestern be.
tween the stations of Duran and
Helena Sunday night at 5:S0,
and one unknown tramp was
killed and three others were in
jured. The tramps were steal
ing a ride ON the train and were
riding in one of the freight cars
that was derailed. None Of the
train crew was injured.
The derailment occurred at
bridge 21Oa, which is 21O miles
east of here. The engine in
some way was derailed just be-
fore the train reached the bridge,
which is 126 feet long and 12
feet high, and Ia cars with the
tender went off the track right
afterwards. The dragging of
the engine and the cars across
the bridge broke it down and
the part of the train on the bridge
went down with the tressel work.
The escape from injury of the
was miraculous.
Traffic has been tied up by
the wreck and the track will not
be opened up until 6 O'Clock to-
night, railroad officials declare.
There is no opportunity to build
q shoe fly" around the wreck
as it would be necessary to build
. trestle across the ravine that
The bridge spanned.
The extra contained II cars
and was in charge of engineer
Hudnell and conductor King.
The bridge where the derail-
ment occurred was the scene of
the passenger wreck that hap
pened last February.
"All southbound trains are
held up at Santa Rosa, behind
5he wreck, including q special
rain of Ohas. Schwab, EN- route

after having been beaten until
the car bore the appearance Of
scramble. The robbery and
the loss of the messenger were
not discovered until the train
reached Eylau.
At Red Water the messenger
had attended to his duties as
usual, and the train proceeded.
There is no stop on the schedule
between here and Eylau, al
though the train slowed up at
Rowan, as is the custom.
At Eylau, Conductor Blair,
who was in charge of the train,
found the door of the express
car forced, and upon entering
was horrified to find it spattered
with blood, the messenger miss
ing, and the car bearing every
evidence of having been looted,
The walls and floor of the car
were splotched with blood, the
safe was open, and the disorder
ed appearance of the car showed
that the messenger had made a
desperate fight before he was
thrown from the car.
Trainmen were sent back along
the line on handcars, and the
robbery, with it's bloody details,
was reported to Superintendent
W. N. Neff, who ordered train
men to watch every inch of the
track for signs of the missing
messenger, while efforts were at
once made to apprehend the
guilty parties. though the un-
certainty Of the point where the
messenger was assaulted made +
such effort almost useless from
the start.
In the midst of the prepara-
lions negro rushed into the
depot here and said he had found
the body of man lying beside
the track about a mile from
town. The man, he said, was
covered with blood and had a
great cash in his head. He was
Ifrald to examine the body close

1t is purely q pleasure trip
that this millionaire and his
wife are taking. When seen

porter:
i have often been questioned

travels. It is purely a pleasure
trip that we are on, and l am
not out to advertise any car.
The one use is an English make,
but l prefer not to give the name
of it, ;
In his travels Mr.. Glidden has
made all of his mileage on the
