San Antonio, Texas.-At least thir-
ty-two men were killed and parts Of
their bodies strewn for blocks around
when a big passenger engine in the
Southern Pacific shops blew up here.
The engine stood in square formed
by the copper house. blacksmith shop
and round house, all of which were
wrecked. A part of the locomotive
crashed into a house several blocks
away and seriously hurt woman.
Twenty of the bodies have been
identified, but what is believed to be
twenty more is little more than q
tangled mass of fragments of human
flesh and bones that probably never
will be separated.
These fragments were found
TANNED into crevices about the build
ing wrecked, in the street and entan-
gled in machinery of the shops.
Tho shops have been manned for
several weeks by strikebreakers i'm
ported when shopmen of the Harri
man lines went out. 1t is believed

and East.
It is believed the explosion was
caused by carelessness Of some one Of
the men killed. in allowing cold wa
ter to run into the hot boiler OF the
locomotive. The engine was No. 7O4
and was practically new. 1t was in
the shops for inspection. 1t was Of
the large mogul type.
Besides the thirty-two believed to
have been killed, fifty persons were
injured. These for the most part were
in remote sections OF the buildings
wrecked, for those close to the engine
or in the main parts of the building
either were killed by the blast or
crushed by falling material when the
buildings crumbled. The monetary
loss will be about 100000.
Freaks of the terrific impact were
many, but one of the most strange is
that the driving wheels of the engine
were not disturbed, while parts of the
huge locomotive were driven blocks.
The large wheels apparently did not
bulge.

Santa Fe.-Four members Of the

bribes to vote for certain candidates
for United States senators. Brides
amounting to $500 each are said to
have been paid them. The arrest of
the legislators, all members of the

to chickering's extending over several

Since my arrival in this country just

The American people are prone to
waste. 1t is truism that a family on the
continent of Europe will live upon what
the average American family will throw
away.
Even in small things this Yankee dis
position to prodigality is manifest. For in-
stance, the Germans, in their correspon-
dence, use extremely thin envelopes, which
proves their habit of saving in minor mat
ters.
The German double envelope is not
more than half as heavy as the American
envelope of equal size. The thinness Of

"Stop promiscuous hugging, kissing

policemen.
The new rules on the St Johns and

by the officers on the vessels and at the
capitol when they come upon spooning

and sneezing, altogether in a chorus,
sat one young woman silent and
motionless.
The Waters of Marah.
She was staring at the blank wall
opposite, leaning forward little as
though gazing into a magic crystal
where she could see her fate. She
had a sullen look, as though fierce
and desperate at the vision, yet thee
was a dark beauty around her face,
with it's black hair and brooding
eyes and full red lips. a Jewess,
perhaps, called Ruth or Naomi, and
brought up in a Jewish home life,
but now a homeless woman in a
common lodging house for single
women only" | looked for a mo-
ment in her face of tragedy and then
turned away.
The woman at my side was eX-
planning that it is a bad time for
the lodging house. Many women
can't afford the six-pence. 1t is only
the lucky ones with bit Of work to
do who come here for the night.
Yes. After all, these were the lucky
ones. Their misery is not so mis-

Dead Souls.
There are degrees even in the
homelessness of homeless women. In
the dead of night, when the wives
and mothers and daughters of men
who still have a home of their own
lie sleeping in their beds, have seen
the wretched creatures creeping by.
| have looked into their faces and
at those ashen-gray masks
of living women. l have seen the
ferceness in their eyes and heard the
of the breath that cuts
their lungs. 1t is a sight from which
our soul shrinks shuddering. For
homeless woman makes man think
of his own mother or of his own
and then cry out against
the cruelty of life. and be stricken
with the fear of it's tragedy.
