London (By Cable) Every loyal
Englishman Saturday celebrated the
birthday of King Edward, who was
born. November 8, 1841. 1t is GUS
tom of long standing and its observ-
ance has at times been somewhat
prefunctory, but there is genuine
ness in the English sentiment today
which is highly complimentary to
Edward VII He is very nearly the
ideal English monarch - one who
reigns, hut does not govern, save by
the beneficeut influence he e1erts
for the benefit of the kingdom. He
has surpassed the hopes of friends
and discounted the forebodings of
enemies, if he really has any. The
King celebrated the event at Sand
bingham, where tho King and Queen
of Spain and the Queen of Norway,
In addition to many other members
of the British royal family, are stay
ing.
The morning was occupied in re-
ceiving an immense number of con-
gratulatory kilograms, letters and
presents from almost all parts of the
world. one of the most notable events
being the presentation to the King
of the Cullinan diamond. the largest
known, estimated to be worth $780,
900, and donated to him by the leg
islative assembly of the TransvaaI
as token of the loyalty of the peo-
pie of that colony and in commence

GAVE UP HIS LIFE
TO SAVE THE TOWN
Engineer Puts Full Speed on Burning
Powder Train.
FOREIGNERS BLOWN TO ATOMS.
Gets the Explosives Away From
the Community, but the Whole
Train Blows Up While Passing a
Railroad Section-house Full of Mexi-
can WOrkmen.

Douglas, Ariz. Especially Jesus
Garcia, a locomotive engineer, saved
Nacozari, Ariz., from destruction by
running a burning powder train
through the town at top speed, but
lost his own life and caused the
death of a dozen or more Mexican
section hands through the explosion
of two cars of powder just as the
flaming train was passing section
house. John Chisholm, boy, was
also killed by the explosion.
According to details of the accident
received a powder train on the mar
row gauge railroad of the Pilares
Mine caught fire when near Naco-
Zari. In the train were two open cars
heavily loaded with explosives.
Realizing that the concentration
and a good part of the town OF
Nacozari would be destroyed if the
powder exploded there, Engineer
Garcia called to the rest of the crew
to jump and started to run the train
away from the town. He had taken
it about a half mile when the ex-
plosion occurred, as the cars were
passing a section-house full of Mexi-
cans. The terrific explosion blew the
house, the train, the men and the en-
gineer to atoms.
Young Chrisholm, not seeing the
fire in the train, sought to steal a
ride on the rear car. 1t was impos-
sible to say Just how many section
men were killed.
