TRAINS co THROUGH BRIDGE
Many Killed, Injured and Missing
in Rock Island Wreck.
TRAIN DROPS INTO RIVER
Many Thrilling Scenes Attend Res
cue-Some Float Fourteen Miles
Down the Stream.

Eight persons are dead, 20 more or
less injured and as many more miss
ing as the result of the wrecking of
a Rock Island passenger train three
miles from Dover, Okla.
The engine, tender, baggage and
mail cars, smoking car and day
coach Of passenger train No. II, north
bound, left the high bridge that spans
the Cimarron river and plunged into
the stream which is fianked by
treacherous quicksands. The loco
motive disappeared almost immedi-
ately. The mail and baggage clerks
escaped from their cars and swan to
the shore.
The accident was due to driftWood,
which piled against the bridge and
swerved it out of line.
The train was an hour late and was
running at high speed. The engineer
did not see the condition of the
bridge until he was within a few
yards of it. He shouted to his fire
man and jumped. He landed on the
verge OF the river and escaped I'M
hurt. The fireman sustained severe
injuries.
When the engine struck the bridge
the structure collapsed, precipitating
the engine, smoking car and day
coach into the water. Two Pullmans
remained on the track. The current
whirled the day coach down stream
and lodged it against a sand bank.
The occupants were helped out
through the doors and windows. The
smoking car hoated to a sandbar and
four men were seen to Chamber
through the windows and pull them
selves to the top of the car, calling
loudly for help. Those on shore we're
unable to reach them on account of
the high water, and while they were
begging for assistance a mass of
driftwood swept them away. Three
other men crawled through the ear
door of the smoking car. They were
rescued.
The most authentic accounts place
the number of passengers in the smok-
ing car at between 25 and 80. With
few exceptions they have not been
accounted for.
One mar was fished out Of the river
at Cashion, 20 miles from the disast-
er. He was almost dead. Others
have been reported floating down the
river.
The injured were hurried to King
fisher, where the residents have
turned their homes into temporary
hospitals.
1t may be impossible to ascertain
the exact number of dead for several
days. Many of those reported miss
ing may turn up safe at some point
down the Cimarron.

AGAINST MORMON PRESIDENT
Proceedings to Bring Smith to Trial
for ~Polygamy.

Harley S. christensen. county at
torney Of Salt Lake county, was cited
TO appear in the criminal division of
the State district court before Judge
Armstrong and show why he should
not direct the issuance of warrants
for the arrest Of Joseph F. Smith,
president of the Mormon church, on a
charge of sustaining unlawful rela-
tons with one of his five wives.
The citation was issued on the
petition of Charles Mostyn Owens,
who was active in gathering testi-
mony against Senator Smoot in the
proceedings at Washington.
On September II Owen swore to a
complaint making a statutory charge
against President Smith. The COM
plant was based upon the fact that
on May 81, last, President Smiths
forty-third child was born to Mary
7. Schwartz Smith, the Mormon
presidents fifth wife, at her home in
Salt Lake city. AS witnesses to the
fact, the complaint cited the four
other wives of President Smith and
several apostles and leaders of the
Mormon church, including Senator
Smoot and Governor Cutler.

TYPH00N At HONG KONG
Hundreds Killed and Many Ships
Are Destroyed.
ONE AMERICAN SHIP WRECKED
Generally Believed That Bishop Hoar
Is One OF Victims.-Dead
Bodies Strew Coast.

1t is now estimated, conservative
ly' that the property loss caused by
the typhoon at Hong Kong, will ap-
proximate 500, 000, 900. Thirty steam
SHIPS are known to have been wreck
ed and 30 more were seriously dam
aged. Among the latter are the
American vessel Hitchcock and two
Philippine steamers.
1t was reported at first that the
United States gunboat Callao had been
damaged, but this proves to be un-
true, She is unhurt and has done
gallant work in the rescue of the un-
fortunate natives.
The loss of life among the Euro
peans was insignificant. Not more
than six are believed to have been
killed. The native fishermen suffered
worst. The wrecks of their little
craft are everywhere along the coast,
which is strewn with hundreds of
dead bodies.
1t seems to be established that Dr..
EIoar, the bishop Of Victoria, is dead.
The searching expedition that was
sent out has returned and report that
no trace Of the bishop could be
found.
Three steamers, with over 400 pas
sengers, are reported lost, and out of
all the passengers and crew but eight
are known to have escaped.
Business in the city is at a stand
still and the confusion is such that it
has been impossible to obtain an ac-
curate idea of the extent of the dam
age. 1t is known, however, that the
hospitals are Overcrowded and temp
orary morgues have been establish
ed to afford shelter for the bodies of
the dead.
Several churches and many dwell
ings In the residence section have
been wrecked. The loss Of life has
been the heaviest in the native quart
ers and the junks and other native
craft in the path of the typhoon also
suffered most heavily.
Pearl river and the surrounding
waters were filled with native craft
and it is believed very few of these
escaped.
The Empress of Japan, which was
IN II harDor When the storm broke,
was among the few ships to escape
damage. This was due to her partly
sheltered position, as well as to the
strength of her engines which en-
abled her TO resist the fury of the
wind and sea and avoid being driven
ashore.
Latest advices from Hongkong state
that 5000 lives were lost during the
typhoon and that the damage to prop
erty, public and private, will amount
to millions of dollars. Twelve ships
were sunk, "a were stranded, seven
damaged and one-half of the native
craft in port were sunk. The ship
ping trade has been paralyzed through
lack of lighters. Only a few Euro
Deans are missing.

DUNS WEEKLY SUMMARY
Unreasonable Weather Holds Back
Fall Goods and Reduces Stocks
of Summer Merchandise.

r. G. Dun's Weekly Renew OF
Trade" says:
"Unseasonably high temperature in
some sections of the country retard
ed distribution of fall goods, but
with the assistance of special sales,
reduced stocks of summer merchan-
disc to a most satisfactory position
High rates for money have delayed
mercantile collections somewhat, and
there is still complaint regarding the
scarcity of labor, but confidence in
the future remains mistaken.
Preparations for winter and
spring keep machinery well employ
ed, large crops are being secured,
and building operations are very
heavy. The volume of domestic trade
is beyond all records, and foreign
commerce exhibits some striking
comparisons.
Total merchandise exports in
August were valued at about $l2, 600,
600 more than the same month in any
previous year, and imports rose
$40, 900, 1000 above the preceding rec
ord for August.
Foreign trade at New York alone
for the last week showed gains of
$2,930,5G7 in exports and $3,33S,34
in imports, as compared with 1905,
Traffic b~lCckades are frequent, de-
spite increased facilities that made
possible a gain of Ill per cent in
railway earnings in September thus
far.
Textile conditions have not ma
terially altered the mills operating
a large percentage without having
much new forward business.
Footwear jobbers have not been
operating in case lots for spring de-
livery during the past week, which
made trade somewhat more quiet,
and shipments from Boston fell be-
hind those of the corresponding week
last year, but Eastern wholesalers
are placing duplicate orders for fall
goods, maintaining a strong mar
ket.
Commercial failures for the week
in the United States as reported by
r. G. Dun & Co., are 200, as against
ia last week, 1873 the preceding
week and 20G the corresponding week
last year. Failures in Canada num-
Der 16, against 26 last week, s the
preceding week, and "a last year"

TUBE TRUST is SUSPECTED
Pneumatic Mail Service Will Necessar-
lily be Delayed.


Postoflice Department officials APP
pear to be up against a trust in the
matter of pneumatic tube service in
the larger cities of the country. Bids
were asked for on July 81 for CON
tinuing the service in New York,
Philadelphia, Chicago, Brooklyn and
Boston. Bids for establishing the SER
vice in Pittsburg, Cincinnati, Balti-
more, San Francisco and Kansas City
and extending 1t in st. Louis were
asked for. None was received, how
ever.
The bids for the maintenance of
the service in the cities that already
have 1t were so high that, if they
are accepted, the service cannot be
established in any of the others. For
instance, the contractors who own the
tubes in New York asked $467, 900,
which is more than o%ne-third of the
amount appropriated for the whole
country, which was l $50, 900.
The bids for the maintenance of
service now in existence are all on
the basis of $17 900 per mile. The
present contracts from S13, 500
per mile to $4,000.
When these contracts were made
there was no competition and a COM
pany believed to be independent Of
the combination, nov suspected, got
the contract. But the Philadelphia
company turned up with a bid identi-
cal with that of its supposed competi-
tors.
