THIRTY S1X VICTIMS Wreck •» Railroa<1 in Mo,i|aiia EOiTible Oil ReCOrd. - CAUSED BY , A mnminv RUNAWAY Tnuv 1RAIN At Lightning Speed Wild Cars Crash Into Passenger Coaches—Fire Complete the Work of Death and Destruction. Thirty-six lives were lost and thir teen persons injured in the wreck on the Great Northern railway passenger train No. 3, at Nyaek, 30 miles west of Kalispell, Mont., Friday night. The dead are: P. T. Downs, assist ant general superintendent of the Great Northern lines west of Minot, North Dakota; K. T. Downs, his son; Henry Blair, cook aboard the private car of Mr. Downs; Thirty three Scan dinavian laborers, names unknown. The inujred: Thirteen Scandina vian laborers, names unknown. Latest reports indicate that the wreck was the worst In the road's his tory and one of the most sanguinary in the annals of American railroading. Three of the injured will die and the others are in a serious condition. By heroic efforts fifteen of the bodies were taken from the wrecked ears. All the other victims were cremated, including Superintendent P. L. Downs and his son, T. K. Downs. Cause of Disaster. There is a severe grade near the scene of the wreck. Two engines had taken a train of twenty-eight freight cars up this grade and drawn off to take water. While doing this all the twenty-eight cars started down the grade. The runaway train dashed down the grade at frightful speed and crashed into the rear of a westbound passenger train, No. 3, near the siding at Nyaek. Superintendent Downs’ private car was attached to the passenger train and next to it was a day coach filled with railroad laborers from Duluth. As the runaway train sped by the switch it struck a caboose and day coach on the siding wrecking them. Fire immediately started from the oil lamps in the caboose. The point where the wild train crashed into the passenger was several hundred feet away, and it. was two and a half hours before the flames reached the main wreck. eMantime frantic efforts were made to take out the dead and injured. The wreck was piled high and wedged into almost hopeless confusion, ami in spite of superhuman efforts the flames burst through the wrecked cars before the work was completed. J. H. Blair, colored cook in Mr. Downs’ car, was taken out alive, but died in a few minutes. It was impos sible to get at the bodies of Superin tendent Downs and his son. The runaway tore down the hill at lightning speed, rounding the most se vere curves at a speed upward of 70 miles an hour, where regular trains barely crawled along. With a roar it burst around the curve, jumped a split switch which would have turned It to the side track and crashed into the passenger. There was neither time nor opportunity for escape. Mr. Downs’ ear and that of the laborers were smashed into kindling wood, the occu pants of the private car meeting in stant death. The wreckage and the shingles and lumber of the freight burned like tinder. DECLARES FIGHT IS LOST. Former Vice President Amalgamated Association Scores Strike Leaders. Charges that the national officers of thc Amalgamated association had mis represented the attitude of the United States Steel Corporation toward or ganized labor, in order to get the mem bers of the association out on strike, were made by former Vice President Hickey at a meeting of the Bay View iodge at Milwaukee Sunday. The situation, as summed up by Mr. Hickey, is that it may take years to repair the damage to the association which has already been done. The strike is practically lost, he said, as 72 per cent of the mills are working. OUR CUBAN TRADE SHORT. Figures Show That We are Sufferers By Radical Change*. Some figures relating to the export and import trade of Cuba for the first seven months of this year, as com P ared with a 81mllar P 61-10 ' 1 last y, ' ar - ju3t published by the division of in stlar affairs, war department, indicate h t radi(:aI f hanges are going on in that trade. It is known that the United States and other North American countries are the sufferers from this turn of trade.

DEVOTED TO THE INTERESTS OF PIERCE COUNTY. BLACKSHEAR. GA., THURSDAY 8EPTRMliF.il f>. PJOl. death list swells qmatly. Further Investigation Shows Horror of Steamboat Explosion More Appalling than First Reported. A Philade, P hia s P ecial says: U developed Thursday that the result of (he explosion of the boiler on the steamer City of Trenton, while on the way up the Delaware river Wednesday afternoon, was more appalling than was at first supposed. In addition to the nine identified dead there are two charred bodies, be lieved to be those of femals, in the morgue. They are beyond recognition and will be buried in potter’s field. The list of missing has reached twenty, and will doubtless add many to the death roll. Of the thirty-three persons taken to the hospital, Mrs. Edna Van Scholck, Nightstown, N. J., and Miss Fannie Keen, Philadelphia, will die. That there are more victims in tho river is the firm belief of the authori ties, and their failure to find any ad ditional dead is supposed to be due to the strong current in the river at the point where the explosion occurred. Never in the history of tho Delawaro river has there been such keen rivalry between the lines of river steamers as during this season. Between Phil adelphia and Wilmington the steamer lines for a time virtually advertised races between their vessels. For near ly a week the City of Chester and Brandywine, on one line, and the Dia mond State on the other, met and raced to a finish every day. Public sentiment, however, caused the pa tronage to fall off, and a rule was then made prohibiting tho speed contests. As to the exact cause of the explo sion nothing is yet known, hut an in vestigation is to be conducted at once. Fire Marshal Latlimer, Coroner Dugan, the police department and the United States boiler inspectors will each carry on an independent investigation, but little can be known until tho survivors have been examined and a careful in spection of the wiecked steamer shall have been made. Many of the passengers who escaped injury maintain that the City of Tren ton, which was late when she left her wharf, was racing at her topmost speed and that if this had not been tho case the accident would not have hap pened. This is partly homo out liy a statement said to hate been made by Assistant Engineer John Chew. Chew told his wife that he expected to be killed by an explosion on the steam er as the company made the engineers keep up too high a pressure of steam. TURNED BACKS ON SPEAKER. Exciting Episode In Virginia Constitu tional Convention at Richmond. A Richmond, Va., special says: The remarkable spectacle of a number of ladies turning their hacks on a pub lic speaker addressing his remarks di rectly to them was witnessed in the constitutional convention Thursday. Tile incident caused quite a sensation. The speaker was Colonel John C. Summers, the republican member from Washington county and the most unique character in the body. Colonel Summers was speaking iu. favor of the submission of the new constitution to the entire present electorate of the state and was very harsh and bitter in his denunciation of the democratic methods in Virginia and of the efforts being made in the framing of tho new constitution to disfranchise the negro. Colonel Summers expressed his love for the negro and aroused the negroes in the west gallery, to whom he ad dressed himself directly, to a high pitch of enthusiasm. Turning to the east, or white gal lery, in which there were many ladies, who sat with hands uplifted, he de clared that the convention, holding it self to be sovereign, proposed to dis franchise the husbands of some of TTt: fairest women in Virginia. A number of the ladies turned their backs to the speaker, and ere Colonel Summers concluded the sentence, Mr. Willis, a democrat, with face white with anger, called him down for ad dressing the galleries instead of the convention. The “Beautiful” In Colorado. A dispatch from Denver, Col. says: Snow fell for an hour in Alpine Pass Thursday and was followed by a sc vere storm. MOTHER AND BABE MANGLED. Crushed to Death Under Wheels of Rapidly-Moving Trolley Car. At Birmingham, Ala., Saturday Mrs. Fannie McGill, carrying a baby in her arms, was run down by a trolley car and mother and child were mangled to death, being dragged half a block under the car. The accident was witnessed by many people. John Smith, the regular mo torman, and CharleB Courson, a learn er, were immediately arrested and placed in the county Jail without bowl. Smith is charged with murder and Courson with manslaughter. ABDUL ORDERS GUN8. Sultan Will Go to War Rather Than Yield to Unreasonable Demands. A special from Vienna, Austria, gays: The Tageblatt in its issue of Wednes day published mail correspondence from Constantinople which states that the sultan will go to war rather than yield to unreasonable demands; that 36 ’* * tull y lD * P iaDI1 { ° T defense, and i ba lfc« t** o^ered 300 guns from Ger m * njr REBS IN POSSESSION Colombians Control Large Area Of Venezuelan Territory. OPEN WAR HAY BE AVERTED Reports Received at Washington R<x garding Efforts to Preserv* Peace Are Very En couraging. A special from Colon. Colombia says; Dr. Luts Carlos Rico, Colom bian minister to Venezuela, before his departure for Bogota officially assured Senor Velez, governor of Cartagena, that he was going to inform his gov ernment with reference to the situa tion between Venezuela anil Colombia. He expressed the opinion that peace would bo preserved by and between both nations ami that the existing dif ficulties would be overcome. The Colombian official newspaper in Cartagena declares that the entire province of Pachira, Venezuela, ton civ ing Colombia south of Maracaibo, Is in the power of the Venezuelan insur gent leader, General Rangel Barbiras. It asserts also that the Colombian gen eral, Gonales Valencia, until recently Colombian minister of war, is now on the frontier with no less than 10,000 troops disposed iu the province of San tander and maintaining the sovereign ty of Colombia there.

They are commanded by Pangel Garhiras. “The position taken by the govern ment of Colombia Is one of peace and neutrality. These are fundamental canons in her foreign policy. The fron tiers of Colombia are sufficiently de fended. Colombia feels certain that she can maintain her rights and repel whatever foreign invasion may offer.” Peace Is Hoped For. Mail information received at the Co lombian legation at Washington con tinues encouraging according to the officials there and encourages them to hope that peaceful conditions will ob tain. A letter bearing date of Quito, Ucua. dor, August 7, says there is a general feeling in that country against any dis ruption of the friendly relations with Colombia and that strict neutrality will bo observed between the latter country and Venezuela, Information received at the legation by way of Port of Spain, Trinidad, i: to the effect that Dr. Garhiras, the Ven ezuelan revolutionist, who was report ed defeated by the forces ot that gov ernment, continues in arms agaltmt tho authorities and Is n source of con siderable trouble to the officials of Venezuela.
