and Charles I. Fland were badly burn
ed. Charles Carpenter was also
burned. I'ollcemun Cross, who came
to tho assistance of the men In the
wrecked engine room was overcome
by ammonia fumes and seriously In
jured. Several others were overcome
and were rescued with difficulty.
Only by tho most desperate endeav
ors of rescuers could lives be saved,
and the fatalities came near being
much greater.
Two huudred men were omployed
in the plant, which is seven stories
high. The fumes spread quickly
through the building, filling the first
and second stories In a few moments
and cutting off the retreat or nearly
the entire forco except by way of
the neighboring buildings and they
could not be reached except by the
roof. Hoscuers were as unable to
enter the first and second stories as
the workers were unable to escape in
that direction. The entire force ex
cept those who were killed, finally
escaped from the roof to the neigh
boring building.
Several adjacent bulliilngs were
permeated by the ammonia furnoB and
were untenable lor several hours in
consequence,

SCOTTISH RAILROAD iECK
CAUSED BY LOSING
CONTROL OF ENGINE.
Human Bodies and Wreckage Were
Mixed In the Most Approved Amer
ican Style Thirteen Were Killed
and Twenty Injured,
Glasgow, Scotland, July 27. An
excursion train from Dumfries, was
wiecked at Stcuos station in this city
this morning. It wns slowing down
on u terminal track, when something
oceuired in tbe management of the
engine to cause a sudden, violent and
excessive hurst of speed which caus
ed the engine to rear and lurch vio
lently. Several cars near the engine
were partially derailed, but tho Inci
dent did not In the least slacken the
speed. As the train shot past the
main entrances or the depot the fire
man and engineer could be seen en
gaged In a Irantlc struggle with the
equipment or the engine Inside the
can.
In an instant the engine struck the
granite buffers nt tho end of the ter
minal track and the engine, which
hoinersaiilted, disappeared iu an cnor
limns pllo of wreckage.
But lor the fact that unlimited
quantities of water woro Immediately
available, tire would huvo added a
holocaust to tho gonerul horror. A
large number of men were at onro
engaged upon clearing away the
wreck.
Thirl ecu were found dead and 20
badly Injured The engineer and
fireman wele mangled beyond recog
nition nnd the engine was completely
denuded of all fixtures and equip
ment, and thus the cause of the ills
aster can lievci he even surmised.
When the sudden burst of speed
occurred the coupling at tho roar of
tho second coach hrohe, leaving sev
eral cars bohlnd, which worn not
broken up. This Incident greatly les
sened the fatalities. Th" destruction
to property asldo irom the wrecked
engine and cars, wus not gient.

Tho cattle ot the country are hi

It will lie worse later In the year It
is claimed by some ot the men who

that the cattlemen of the country ai

There are about 100,000 head of

realize the condition of things and
are driving and preparing to drive all
of the beet stock In their herds to
the California alfalfa fields. Kvery
thlng on foot that will make buef is
the fall and winter Is being taken on
the pilgrimage, so that the remaining
part ol the holdings will have s
chance when the cold winter enmefc.
If I hce people, who have all of the
California lauds under their cure be
hind them to draw hay from seo thai
they have no chance to winter their
stock here, II Is argued that the con
dltloiiH will be serious for the smaller
men who have to dopend on the local
