lowing Wrecking Of Train.
Pueblo, Colo. - Conservative est
mates on the loss of life as the resul
of the collision of the two passenge
trains on the Denver & Rio Grand
railway twenty-five miles west of here
place the number of dead at thirty
six. Seventeen charred, mangled ant
| utterly unrecognizable bodies lie ii
the Pueblo morgue, two others are il
the morgue at Florence, several Other
persons are known to be dead, anC
possibly score of bodies were burned
to ashes.
There was not single entire body
recovered from the wreckage, with
the exception of the engine man, who
although horribly mangled, had not
been reached by the swift flames
which swept through the wrecked
cars.
Only seven of the dead can be iden-
titled and only one these corpses re-
tains sufficient of the outline of the
features to be readily recognizable.
Two telegraph operators are held
in the public mind to be re-
sponsible for the awful disaster, al
though no formal Indictment has gone
out against them. Both have been or
dered discharged from the service of
the road. A coroner's jury has been
empanelled and will investigate the
cause of the accident.
It develops that r. G.. Whitney, who
was being escorted to the penitentiary
by Deputy Sheriff Ed. E. Baird, had
been chained to his seat and when the
fire broke out in the wreckage he had
no chance whatever to escape. By
the hand of fate his guard persisted
with him.
The laws of Colorado have provis-
ion making it crime to fasten pris-
oners in transportation to car seats.
A heart-rending story of mother love
and wonted self sacrifice Is told by
Conductor Kroeger, who had charge
of the Pullmans on the west-bound
train.
IT saw one mother" he said, with
a little babe in her arms. She knew
that it was almost an impossibility
to be saved herself, but her only
thought was of her child. One hand
was pinioned down under the debris,
but her head and the other arm was
Free
"She was trying to keep her head
from the flames and, with her free
hand, was holding the infant as high
In the air as she could. Just as we
were about to reach her she gave a
gasp and fell back into the flames
with the babe"

TRAINS COLLIDE
MANY KILLED
Horrible Disaster on the Rio
Grande Near Pueblo,
Colorado.
Tragedy Caused by Failure Of Oper
ator to Deliver an Order Which
Changed the Meeting Place Of
the Trains.

Pueblo, Colo.-In binding storr
which made it almost impossible TO
the trainmen to see ahead, tw
trains collided head-on at poin
midway between Portland and Adobe
twenty-five miles west of Pueblo, a
2:20 O'Clock Friday morning. I'm
mediately following the collision sew
oral of the wrecked cars burst int
flames and were consumed, number
of passengers being burned to death
| Owe thirty others were injured, bu
of these it is not Thought any were
| fatally hurt. The cause of the WRECK
is attributed to the failure of an EN-
ploye of the road to deliver an order
which changed the meeting place o.
the two trains.
Conservative estimates on the to
tai loss of life place the number o..
dead at thirty-five. Rio Grande of
ficials insist that the exact number Of
persons on the two trains cannot be
ascertained; that it is impossible.
P. F. Lively, night operator at Swal
lows, whose alleged failure to deliver
orders to train No. 16 is supposed to
have been the cause of the wreck
has been employed by the road for
many years. He was relieved from
duty and will be suspended until the
matter is thoroughly investigated by
the officials.
Both trains were running at the
usual speed, the deep snow and high
wind making it necessary to exercise
exceptional care. Suddenly both
headlights flashed out from the dark.

time that something was wrong. Ac.

Smith of the westbound train, Engi.
neer Walter Coslett opened the emer.

checked for an instant, but the slip.
perry rails and the momentum of the
heavy train carried it on.
Immediately after the collision
sheet of fire ran through the cars on
both sides of the engines, and in a
tWinkling the cracking sound of
breaking timbers started the men to
action. In the forward coach of the
westbound train every seat was &C.

consecutive nights were beaten with
clubs, jumped on, their hair pulled out
by the roots and the soles of their feet
cut with knives until they signed
statements confessing their guilt.

Takes TwO-thirdS of Our Ex-
port, and Supplies Half
the Imports.
Europe Takes More Than a Billion
Dollars Worth Of the Exports
From the United States, While
All Other Ports of the World
Take Less Than Half
Billion.

Washington.-Euro takes two
thirds of the exports of the United
States and supplies practically one.
half of the imports. This statement
summarizes in a single sentence the
general facts which have been de-
veloped by series of discussions Of
the trade of the United States with
the countries of Europe recently pre-
sented by the department of COM
merce and labor through its bureau
of statistics. These discussions have
presented an analysis of the trade
with each country Of Europe by prin-
cipal articles, and when summarized
show that Europe takes more than
a billion dollars worth of the ex-
ports from the United States, while
all other parts of the world take a
little less than a half billion dollars
worth. In no year since 1899 has the
value of exports to Europe fallen be-
dow one billion dollars, while that to
all other countries has never touched
the five hundred million dollar mark.
Prior to 1900 the exports to Europe
had never been as much as one bill
lion dollars in value; in that yeal
they crossed the billion dollar line, be-
ing $1,04O, 100000, and have since that
time averaged about $1,050, 100000 per
annum In 1900 the exports to all Sec
lions of the world other than Europe
were $354,000,O0O in value, but have
grown year by year until in 1905 they
were $498, 100000, the growth since
in 1900 in exports to the non-Euro-
pean countries having been proper
greater than that to Europe.

New York-Louis Nosser, race
track man, locked his wife in a bath
room Thursday, and while she was a

Reynolds, it was said was formerly
an intimate friend of Nosser.
While his wife was in the bath room
Nosser turned the key and went to
Miss Reynolds room. Their voices,
the mans threatening and the wo-
mans pleading, were heard by the
wife in the bath room. Mrs. Nosser
heard Nosser saying to the woman,
There's no use for you and to live
any longer. The best thing I can do
Is to kill you and kill myself"
Nosser then shot Miss Reynolds in
the temple and himself in the forehead,
both dying almost instantly.
