RAILROAD WRECK
MANY AMERICANS KILLED NEAR
LONDON, ENGLAND.
TRAIN JUMPS THE TRACK,

Twenty-Three Passengers Just Arrived
from New York Among the Dead
List Includes Many Prominent Peo-
pie.
Salisbury, Eng.-Driving at mad
pace over the London Southwestern
railway, the American Line Express,
carrying forty-three of the steamer
New York's passengers from Plymouth
to London, plunged from the track
just after passing the station here at
1:57 Sunday morning and mangled to
death in it's wreckage twenty-threei
passengers who sailed from New York
June 23d, and four of the trainmen.
Beside those to whom death came
speedily dozen persons were injured.
some of them seriously.
Frederick Henry Cossitt, who was
married in New York June 18th and
who is among the dead. was the sec
ond member Of his wedding party to
meet tragic death within a week. STAN
ford White, who was killed by Harry
X. Thaw, was one of the wedding
guests.
The list Of dead includes a number
OF prominent residents of New York
and other American cities.
The late hour of the New York's'
arrival at Plymouth saved many lives.I
She carried more than sixty travellers
for London, but many of them elected
to travel on comfortably to Southamp-
ton in preference to the late landing
p1Unn,1fh 20 nj oil rida
across the country. If the New York
had made faster passage the somber
roster of the dead and injured would
have been longer.
A short distance out of Salisbury be-
gins a remarkable curve which some;
times has been described as the most
dangerous in the world and which cer-
tainly possesses elements of danger
Not only does the line enter and leave
the station on curve, but where lt
crosses Fisherton street, the line takes
a slight rise. 1t was practically at this
point that the engine jumped the rails
and brought about a disaster, both as
regards the percentage OF lives lost
and the extent of the damage to rolf
ing stock, almost without precedent
in the annals of British railway acci-
dents, especially of boat expresses. =
The first bodies recovered and iden-
titled included those of John E. Mc-
Donald, New York; w. H. Thompson,
address unknown; c. F. McMeekin
New York; Frank W. Koch, Allen
town, Pennsylvania; Jules Keeler, adj
dress unknown; Charles Senteil, New
York; Rev. E. L. King. Toronto; Miss
Mary F. Howison, New York; Mrs. c..
w. Elphicke, Chicago, and Mrs. Waite
of New York. Dudley P. Harding or!
New York; Louis Cassier OF Trumbull,
Connecticut, and F. H. Cossitt of New.
York were alive when they were rel
moved from the wreck, but died at the
infirmary soon after their admittance.

DENvER-GREELEY LINE.
Electric Railway Planned Between the
Two Cities.

Denver.-That northern Colorado
will be crossed by a number of electric
railways within a short time is the be-
lief of good many men who are,
watching developments of that great
agricultural region, and there Is onel
project, says the Republican, that Isl
being quietly pushed along, but prom
Uses to be carried out. Several months.
ago ]. D. Houseman came to Coloradol
from st. Louis, and after looking the
situation over, Incorporated the Dem
yer and Greeley road, the object be-!
ing to build an electric railroad bel
tween those two points. He soon af-i
ter incorporated and has been quietly
at work.
Mr.. Houseman came West with the,
reputation of having financed and.
,fioated several such enterprises, and
has the confidence of eastern finan-
iciers. He has offices on the fourth
floor OF the Commonwealth building in
this city.
Mr.. Houseman has secured right
of-way $50 feet wide for over two
thirds of the fifty miles between Den,
yer and Greeley. He has not found IL
"a difficult task. and in fact many land
owners have contracted to give the
lright-of-way, knowing that the building
of the road will more than bring them
its value in the increased price OF the
rest of their holdings.
The route of the proposed road is
about equally distant between the
Union Pacific and Burlington tracks.
and MS it is intended for both freight
and passenger business it will give an
outlet to the fertile farms that now
have to team all products fifteen to
twenty miles to railroad stations.
How the new road is to gain admis-
sion to the city is not settled as yet,
but it Is said that negotiations have
been opened with the Burlington to
bring the trains into the union depot.
Negotiations are also under way with
the Northern Power Company to sup
ply electrical power, which 1t will be
able to do within the next six months.
This is only one Of three different
companies that ere now dickering with
the management of the power company
to supply energy for new lines OF road
in the northern district, and two OF
them into Denver.

President Roosevelt, in his message to Congress having recommended the union of the Territories of Arizona and New Mexico to form the State of Arizona, and Congress having passed an enabling act by which the two Territories may be formed into state and admitted into the Union, provided the question of the jointure of the two Territories be submitted to, and approved by majority of the voters of the respective Territories and the Republican and Democratic Territorial conventions at Bisbee. having passed resolutions in opposition to the union of the Territories as a state, and nom- mated candidates for delegate to Con gress, pledged to oppose statehood un- der the present Enabling Act, there by depriving the friends of statehood of both parties of an unprejudiced or ganization whereby the issues of state hood can be fairly and impartially pre- scented to the people of the Territory of Arizona, who are so vitally inter- ested in it, therefore:

Under the apportion- ment of delegates, in accordance with the votes cast at the last general cleo tion, each county will be entitled to send the following number of dele gates: Apache ), Cochise 3, CocOni- no :, Gila 6, Graham 13, Maricopa p, Moiave 5, Navajo 1, Pinal 1, Pima II, Santa Cruz 1, Yavapai 2l and Yuma 6.
