BUSINESS LEAGUE NOTES.

Colorado Springs was visited by
DIR. ]. II. p. Westbrook, J. w. Jack
son, VIII Parks and c. A. Franklin,
who attended the session of the eX-
ecutive committee of the State Bust
ness League. The deliberations were
held at the home of L. p. Booze.
Plans were laid for the state meeting
and for the national meeting at To
peka. The former will take place a
week after the former and there Is
good prospect that several prominent
men of national reputation will honor
Colorado by their presence. Geo. w.
Gross, the Rocky Ford farmer and
melon king. was chosen to deliver the
principal address from this state and
to be the state representative. Pre-
prations were made for the collection
OF the exhibits OF the products of our
state by colored people. These, all
OF whatever kind, are to be forwarded
to Topeka in care OF Mr.. Gross, who
is to see that they are given proper
display at the place of meeting. Ar
rangements also are being made for
the taking of a special car or train TO
the national meeting, and Mr.. Booze
is empowered to collect information
concerning those who wish reserya.
tions made for them. The Colorado
Springs contingent will be large and
the whole state will be levied upon
for visitors and the far West ma!
join in.

it-Not Known How Fire Started
One of the big storage sheds at the
plant of the Navassa Guano Company
four miles from the city on the west
bank of the Cape Fear river, at the
junction of the Seaboard and A c. L.
railroads, was almost completely de-
stroyed by fire shortly after midnight
The shed was filed with fertilizer
and the loss will probably be quite
heavy.
The reflection of the fire was seen
in the city and from the top floor OF
the Southern building it appeared that
the entire plant was in flames. out
Messengers who arrived on the Sea
hoard train, which reached the city at
2:3O a. N. said that the fire had been
confined to the one building which
is a large wooden structure, built be-
tween the railroad tracks and the main
factory. Luckily the wind was blow
ing and it was not damaged.
The fire it is said. started early IN
the evening in q small building near
the storage shed and the employees
1T the plant fought valiantly TO eXtin-
cuish the fire. There was no trace Of
the fire when the incoming train from
the south reached the city at 1:10 d.
m. but passengers on that train re
ported that shortly after passing Ma
v9ssa the factOry's whistle was heard
blowing repeated blasts and it is sup
posed that at that time the other and
larger building caught on fire.
The Seaboard train was held uD at
Navassa for almost an hour and pas
sengers assisted employees in playing
water on the fire.
The tug Sea King was summoned
from the city but it had not arrived at
Navassa when the train left for the
city. At that time, shortly after two
o'clock, the fire was under control and
no further spread of the flames was
feared.

1T is not a pleasant thing to lOol,
death in the face" said a veteran
railroad engineer while relating some
exciting incidents in his career to q
friend in Washington last week.
"And yet it is not an uncommon Oc-
currence with railroad men.
Y shall never forget the first rail
road accident I was ever in. At
that time I worked on the Bradford,
2Orden and Kinzua road. It was
the 18th of January and bitter cold
We were near Bradford, Pa, when in
g side hill GU we ran into q river Of
oil. which had escaped from a bursJed
tank on the hill side, and in running
down the oil had covered the bed
Of the railroad track for over
half q mile.
THE grade at this point is very
steep, and the oil cOursed down it's
bank as if it were a stream Of water.
There is a sharp curve close by and
before I knew it the train was pass
ing through a stream of oil
1T ignited from the furnice o. the
engine and Immediately set the train
on fire.
THE terrible heat from the burn
ing river of oil instantly cracked
and shattered every window in the
cars.
THE flames leaped in through
- doors and windows. and through
ventilators The car wheels splashed
through the burning oil, scattering
It along the bottom of the cars.
The only escape was to jump into
the snow at the sides Of the crt
which most of the passengers did.
The wood work of the engine was en-
tirely destroyed and it was otherwise
badly damaged.
Two passenger coaches we're
completely burned up. Three pas
sengers all women were burned to
death, five trainmen and twenty-five
passengers were frightfully burned
twelve fatally.
