AN AWFUL DISASTER
Santa Fe Collision the Worst
on that Line in Years.
TEX EMPLOYES WERE KILLED
Removal of tne Dead and Wounded Ac
compllsliRd With Difficulty-- W .
r. Bryan Tells of Bis
Experience.
Kmpobia, Kan., Sept. 9. Last night's
head-on collision on the Atchison, To
peka & Santa Fe proves to have been
the worst disaster that has occurred on
that svBtem in many years. Twelve em
ployes were killed outright
their iniuries. and fifteen
or died of
others were
more or less injured.
Trains over the Santa Fe will be run
by way of Ottawa for a few days. The
cost of the wreck to the railway is esti
mated at $100,000.
As the passengers and trainmen re
covered from the shock of the explosion,
they looked for the " injured and dead."
Far down in the heaps of the debris
sounded wailing voices of men pleading
for aid. While the rescuers were work
ing to get at the unfortunatee, fire broke
out in the wreckage of the forward
coaches, and a cry for water went tip.
Water tanks were torn from their fasten
ings in the coaches that could be entered
and blood-besmeared men carried them
over broken timbers to quench the fast
Bpreading flames. The dead and man
gled bodies of four victims were dragged
to the grass beside the track. After her
culean efforts the flames were finally
subdued, and the work of rescue made
more easy.
Engineer Brannan was found under
his engine, dead. Engineer Nate Hol
lister was thrown thirty feet frem his
engine and was picked up dead. En
gineer Frisbey was picked up some dis
tance fro in the track, fatally injured.
Benjaman Walter, his fireman was ter
ribly mangled. Shnrley and Gonzalla,
firemen on No. 1, were badly, injured,
and died after being removed from the
wreck.
The four postal clerks on No. 1 were
all found. They were R. O. McGee, W.
F. Jones, M. J. McGlade and Claude
Holiday, all of Kansas City. Holiday's
legs are broken and he is injured inter
nally. M. J. McGlade was crushed and
bruised about the bead and body and he
died shortly before midnight. Jones'
legs are maehed and his head is badly
cat. McGee's legs are crushed.
The postal clerks on the fast mail
were A..lorn and J. F. Saner. The ex
press messenger was killed and C. W.
Van Cleve, a brakeman, is fatally in
jured. After a time a relief train ar
rived and the injured were taken to
Topeka.
William J. Bryan was interviewed as
to his experience in the collision. He
eaid: "I have traveled thousands of
miles on railroads and I was never in a
wreck before. I did not feel the shock
very severely where I was, but from the
-way things looked, I cannot see why we
were not all killed. The scene here pre
sented is the most terrible I have ever
seen. It has made an impression on me
that cannot leave me in my lifetime."
"Is it trne you were the firBt man to
reach the scene from your car and go
to the rescue ?" he was asked.
"Please dont say anything about
that," Biy an replied with a deprecating
gesture. From passengers present it
was learned that Bryan was the first per
son to push forward to the assistance of
the victims ; that he assisted to carry
the first body recovered, and that so
long as there was any necessity he was
foremoet in . the 'work of rescue. Mr.

paper man, were in the smoking-coach
of the west-bound train. The two "men
jumped out of the same window without
ttfeir-hats or baggage, which was after
wards burned, and escaped practically
without a scratch. Bryan reached Em
poria about midnight and remained' at
the hotel nntil .morning when he re
sumed his journey.
Claude Hollister, of Topeka, had both
legs broken and shattered in half a dozen
places. When -the rescuers laid him on
the grass beside the track he turned to
one of the group and asked him if he
would pull through. When assured that
he would live, if he was brave, he said :
"Am J not brave? Look at my legs
dangling, and then ask me to be brave. I
suppose they will have to be amputated,
but I will bear the operation and live
through it.
William Frisbey, engineer of the fast
mail, whose residence is in Topeka, was
conscious until be died. He said:
"I did not see the other train until I
came upon it. I turned on the air . and
jumped. I presume -I cannot recover,
but I will die as bravely as I can. I
want you men to leave Vne and help the
the victims that are more unfortunate
than I am.
A. B. Adams, who is among the in
jured, was on his way to Mexico from
New Jersey with registered bonds
amounting to $800,000 and a great deal
of other valuables. They were all burned
in the fire that followed.
' It is supposed that a handful of
charred bones taken from the wreck
during the day is all that is left of
Messenger Saner. Route Agent L, F.
Lyttle, of Wells-Fargo Express, was at
the ecene when the bones were found,
and near them picked up a watcb, -which
he identified as Sauer's.
Behind the west-bound train that was
wrecked was a freight train. : Its
engineer stopppd .at Lang for orders.
He says today that a red light, the dan
ger signal, hung out by the operator
there to warn the west-bound paseenger
to stop, was burning so dimly and the
glaes was smoked so badly he could not
see it till he had left his cab and gone
close up to it.
Indigeeton is often taken for con
sumption. The word consumptoin
means wasting away, and dyspeptics
often waste away as badly as consump
tives. The reason people waste away is be
"cause either they don't 'get enough to
eat, or they don't digest what they do
eat.
If the latter is your trouble, take
Shaker Digestive Cordial. This will
help you to digest your food and stop
your loss of flesh.
Shaker Digestive Cordial is made
from herbs, barks and the juices of frnit,
by the well-known Shakers at Mount
Lebanon. It possess great tonic and
digestive powers.
Shaker Digestive Cordial has cured
many supposed eoneumptiyes . (who
were really dyspeptics), by simply help
ing their stomachs to digest their food,
thus giving them nourishment and new
strength. ' .

FLEDGED TO SPPPOKT SPAIN.
Alleged Compact Katered Into by
Ens-
land and Prance.
St. Locis, Sept. 9. Comte Henry de
Penalo, who has been visiting friends in
St. Louis for a few days, said that the
rumor of an understanding between
Spain and other f European countries,
lookug to a check upon American inter
ference with Cuba, was confirmed by in
formation which came to him from high
authority. ' De Penalo has been intro
duced in St. Louis as a fcember of an
old Spanish family whose - sympathies
are with the Carlist party, but whose
connection with high politics in Spain
keeps him posted on most of the im
portant .diplomatic movements: He
said :
"Some time last September when the
Cuban question was so much agitated in
the United States, even to the point of
furnishing planks to the declarations of
presidential conventions, Senor Canovas
del Castillo, then premier of Spain, re
ceived assurances from-the English and
French governments through their repre
sentatives in Madrid that they would not
permit any action on the , part of the
United States other than a very perfunc
tory recognition of belligerency of the in
surgents. On August 5th before leaving Paris, I
learned from trustworthy sources that
this assurance has been renewed. Gen
eral Azcarragua, the new premier, has
received the French and English ambas
sadors, who have once more assured
Spain of the sympathy of their govern
ments and ot their willingness to give
"diplomatic help."
Cuba's New Tariff.
Madrid, Sept. 9. The Official Gazette
today published the new customs tariff
of Cuba. Nearly all American goods are
subjected to lower duties.
The Grandest Kennedy.
Mr. E. B. Greeve, merchant of
Chilhowie, Va., certifies that he had
consumption, was . given up to die,
sought all medical treatment that money
could procure, tried all cough remedies
he could hear of, but got no relief ; spent
many nights sitting up in a chair; was
induced to try Dr. King's New Discovery,
and was cured by the use of two bottles.
For past three years has been attending
to bu8ines, and says Dr. King's New Dis
covery la the grandest remedy ever made,
as it has done so much for lilic and also
for others in his community. Dr. King's
New Discovery is guaranteed for Coughs,
Colds, and Cosumption. It don't fail.

A. CLASH IS IMMINENT.
Deputies Again Attempted
to Evict
tne Strikers.
Pittsburg, Sept. 9. At 8 o'clock this
morning deputies evicted a family from
the company's bouses at Plum creek.
Little resistance was offered at the time,
but as soon as the house had been emp
tied and the furniture put in the middle
of the street, women gathered in front of
the house, and, after the deputies had
gone, miners forced an entrance to the
house and carried the furniture back.
Desperate resistance will be offered in
case a second attempt is made to evict
the family. '
Three hours later, sixteen deputies ar
rived at Clarksville, and . eyicted John
Puke and his family. They 'are Polish
people, but have many friends at Clarks
ville. .Their furniture was 'carried into
the honse again, and Puke, his family
and several friends installed themselves
there, prepared to make trouble for the
deputies if they" again attempted to
evict them; "
The deputies have sent for Supt. De
Armitt, and he is expected .here at any
moment. llie news of bis coming
spread like wild fire, and the women of
Clarksville have gathered for' resistance.
They are all armed, and are sufficiently
aroused to attack the deputies as soon
as they return.
"My boy came home from school one
day with his hand badly Macerated and
bleeding, and suffering great pain," says
Mr. E. J. Schall, with Meyer Bros.'
Drug. Co., St. Louib, Mo. "I dressed
the wound, and applied Chamberlain's
Pain Balm freely. All pain ceased, and
in a remarkably v short time it healed
without leaving a scar. For wounds,
sprains, swellings and rheumatism I
know of no other medicine or prescrip
tion eqnal to it. I consider it a house
hold necessity." The 25 and 50 cent
