he had ample opportunity to stop

who asked the girl to marry him
do so on his knees.
Well, there could be 2 answers
to this. One might be that she was
on his knees at the time. Ne
other is that she probably brought
him to his knees after marrying
him.
1t is added that out of $50 pro-

up in the cut. All or the passengers killed or injured were occupants of these coaches and the first coach in the train is supposed to have killed the greater number. as the roof was torn of this coach and the sides crushed in.
 Engineer Mcfarland, who was run ming the passenger engine. had a mar row escape from instant death, as he was dug out of the wreckage with steel and twisted timbers covering him completely. It was thought at first that he was fatally hurt, but the company surgeon reported Saturday night that the engineer would be able to leave the hospital in a short time, as he was only cut slightly about the head and his back sprained.
 Owing to the fact that the wreck occurred in a narrow cut through the hill it was impossible for the coa- struction gangs to build a "shoo-fy" around it, and it has been necessary to transfer passengers and baggage from the south to the northbound trains since the wreck occurred.
 This has delayed the arrival of all passenger trains both in Fl Paso and in the City of Mexico, but it is thought that the main line will be cleared by today and the trains run through without transferring.

The Republican lead CTS will raise fog of some other issue in the coming campaign to try and delude the voters into the belief that other and greater interests are at stake than paying tribute to trusts. But when you come to consider that the tariff protected trusts have in creased the price of their products on the average overy54 per cent, so that where you are spending sl you now have to pay s1.54 for the same quan- tits and quality of goods, no other
 issue can compare with the tariff Issue as far as dollars and cents are concerned.

ENGINEER PROVED
 GROSSLY NEGLIGENT

Captured in Aguascalientes while trying to hide in the American quar- ter, EsngiiiIoeT EsrToocclks 1rTooccls and and Cenanetar Randleman, the two men said to be responsible for the horrible wreck near Encarnacion de Diaz, on the Mexican Central, are now in Jail in that city and the chances of their es- caping with anything less than a long prison sentence are exceedingly slim. if the reports from the scene of the fatal wreck are correct.
 The two men in charge of the freight train that crashed into the southbound limited passenger train, killing thirty-four of the passengers in the second class coaches, disap peared after the wreck and no trace ef them eonld he found until they ap- peared in the American quarter of Aguascalientes. Mounted rurales and regular soldiers were sent to SCOUT the country for the men but they sue ceeded in evading the soldiers and escaping to the nearby city.
 According to reports from Aguas- calientes. Engineer Brock. who was supposed to have been running the freight engine at the time of the wreck, was, in fact, in the caboose of the train in company with Conductor Randleman, and. it is said, that the two men were drinking together when the fatal accident occurred This statement is strengthened by the fact that the Mexican fireman on the freight engine was found dead on the right hand side of the cab with his head crushed This tends to prove the statement that the engineer had left the train in charge of the Mexican fireman and was making the trip in the caboose. The fireman was killed instantly and the coal passer. who was also Mexican, died soon after of his injuries.
 The wreck occurred in a narrow cut south of Encarnacion and both the locomotives were thrown from the track by the impact of the collision, the baggage car and second class coaches of the passenger train piling
