N. Armstrong, superintendent of the road, who had already been examined, was recalled and was the first witness. Five min- utes after the accident he examined the bridge and found the piling and caps almost intact; strong enough in fact, he thought, to have laid the stringers on them for a tem- vorary bridge. The stringers were about three-quarters buined, and the one on the soutb side was burned ana broken off at the east end and was inclined downward from the west end. He did not then observe the rails, but at day light they had been bent down- ward by the heat. 1t took four hours to put out the fire by throwing dust on it, water be- ing scarce, and by that time the timbers had been pretty well consumed. The bridge was a pile bent bridge fitteen feet long and had been reported in good condition by the bridge inspector on May 14, when he made an in- spection of all the bridges on the road. Mr, Armstrong exhibited copies of orders which were sent out by telegraph Tuesday, the ninth day betore the wreck. The first to the roadmaster was as follows: August 9, 1887,—C. Ennis—Have your men run over their sections to-morrow, p. m.. the last thing West, at Glenwood Springs, a dispatch con- taining a direct appeal from Sheriff Kendall, Kendall sent word to General West that he 1s at a point on the old Fort Thornburgh bat- tle ground with fourteen men. He has been trylng since last ‘Thursday to serve on the Indians the warrants for the arrest of the two Indians who are indicted for horse thieving, The Indians, however, refused to let him approach, anda they are intrenched i the hills and fire on him and bls posse every time an attempt is made to get near. Bheriff Kendall accordingly asked Adjutant- General West to send him aid to serve the warrants. Governor Adams also recelved dispatches from Mayor Clarke of Meeker, 2 v and from Senator Eddy, describing the situa- F tion as very serious. Mayor Clarke sends word that he i3 becoming very anxious about Sheriff Kendall’s, safety, for the sheriff seems In a state of siege as well as tho Indians, In response & to this Governor Adams has ordered out cav- alry companies from Denver, Colorado Bprings, Canon City, Leadville and Aspen. ‘The orders to all these companies are to start for the front at once. Governor Adams also telegraphed to (General Crook at Omaha that the situation was becoming serious and he about all they can hope to recover from the wreck. 8o far as can be learned there was a good deal of skirmishing reslenlny between the cnnfllcllm{ creditor Interests which is l}lllh‘ likely to lead to decisive action to-day. The fact was developed vesterday that the hypothecation of §1,230,000 of Dayton & Chicago first mortgage bonds was even a more calpable transaction than at first l\a- ared.

Kendall is expected back some time to-day, and other ranchmen living on the three forks of the White, and on the Yampa and Bear, will soon follow and con- centrate ther forces here—225 men—by Wednesday morning. Couriers have been sent out to notify the settlers of Pecarachute, Salurian, Carbonate, Gresham, and other towns lying in the vicinity of Meeker. It a battle occuas it will not be settled in a day or in a week, and it appears essential to have the troops exuipped with suitable arms i h and provisions for an extended campaign. next day Scott took $300,000 from the bank in large bills and met Dunn.

In reality, in after years, men who did uot join the Na- tional league would have to hoid down their heads and walk about in shawe of their fel- lows. The following was sent out _to the agents: “August 9, 1887, —All Agents East, Including Blind Stations: Last thing you do before oing home to-morrow (Wednesday) nizht, gesum our switches are set for the main track, Clear the main track and have brakes set.

Mr. Arm- strong_could only guess at the speed of the excursion train, but he thought it was thirty or thirty-five miles per hour. ‘I'hey were not endeavoring to make up time.” He had talked with both engineers on that subject at Gridley, and told them it was not necessary, that there was_plenty of time in which to get to Niagara Falls. ‘The tirst engine struck the rails at the east end of the bridge all right, the tender pushed them aside and the second engine still more disturbed them. The caps ot the bridge were of oak, the piling of white oak and the strincers of pine, ‘There were two rows of piling, four on ench side. Witness thought that the fire at the bridge would make a very faint light, if any, as seen from Chatsworth, because of its lower grade and the elevations Scott that night replaced the money and determined to borrow enough to make up his shortage. He tailed in this, however, and the second day after got a disguise, took two ackages of money, one containing 140,000 and the otter $10,000, He then went to mect Dunn and handed bhim the $140,000 packace. That evening he went to Canada and staid there till Sentember. He corresponded with Dunn as per the latters directions and some times received sums of money from him in bills of $500 and $1,000, In September he went to Europe and has since resided in London, wnere his wife joied im in 1886, In the latter part of 183 attempts were made atacompromise with the bank and in December, it is said, an offer was accepted by the bank to release him for 860,000, Scott then wrote Dunn telling him to get ready to pay that amount. Dunn replied in January, of this year, that he had lost all the money in speculation. Then came the crash, and finally these proceed- ings were instituted. Dunn’s story ot the speculation was not credited by Scott’s fam- ily or relatives in New York. Dunn was ar- and stated that the state of Colorado would ] see that Sheriff Kendall got his process b served. The governor’s orders to the state military are to proceed only to assist Sherift Kendall in serving his civil process. Captain Lawson’s company started this afternoon for the front. Governor Adams showed this afternoon that he rezarded the situation as serlous. The dispatches which he received were of a welghty nature, and though the governor was prompt in his orders, he evi- dently had hoped that the affair would not become 0 troudlesome as it now looks.

The people of Meeker were very much excited and the long absence of Kendall caused great anxi- ety. 1remained at Meeker until 7 o'clock last niznt, being undecided as to the best route to take to find Kendall. Senator Eddy came in at 7 o’clock from his ranch in the Axial basin and reported that Sheriff Ken- dall and fourteen men were at Frank Mar- tin’s ranch on Milk river, within half a mile of the Thornburg battle field. He said that some of Kendall’s men hhad deserted him. As soon as 1 heard this I immediately sad- R dled my horse and started for Martin's ranch- g ‘which is twenty miles northwest of Meeker. i I reached there at 10 o'clock and found 1 Kendal.

Kifteen Arabs were killed. The others fled. When the Stanley expedition approached, the Bazouk.country natives be- lieving it was a fresh Airab expedition com- ing to punish them, rushed away. Stanley therefore traveled through their country without meeting with any hostility,. Never- theless, previous ofticial telegrams announc- ing Stanley’s arrival at the confluence of the Aruwimi and Congo June 2 seem erroneous, The expedition only reached Bargola Station May 3, and cannot theretore have arrlved at the Aruwimi before the ninth or tenth of June, Nevertheless there is no anxlety as to his fate. News from the Congo Free State is very good. The ferocious Bargola tribes have had a bloody inter-tribal war, ending in horrible scenes of cannibalism, but remain on the best terms with their European ruler. The famine is diminishingand crops prom- ising well. Surveys for future railroads are proceeding satisfactorily on the lower Congo. The administration of the Free btate hasin- creased the term of service of native soldiers from ten to twelve months. ‘With the consent of the natives, agents of the Free State have explored fresh and un- known countries and established with the natives friendly relations, which may lead eventually to Iinportant results. Another ex- cursion from the Free State went into the Upoto country to liberate some of the state’s soldiers who were made prisoners after the capture of Stanley Falls. Having found that the Upoto natives had killed several of the risoners, the expedition punished the Jpdtos severely. All Europeans in the Free State enjoy good health, despiteslight attacks of fever. Death of a D h Author. LoNDON, August 16.—Mever A. Gold- sehmidt. the Danish poet and author, is dead. He was sixty-eight years old. [Meyer Aaron Goldsehmidt was born in \'m'dinfi'borl. in the island of See- and, n 1819, and was educated in the University of Copenhagen.

He suffered no loss. The Indians, however, can figure up one killed, probably Elny, and four wounded. They have re- ceived reinforcements, however from the agencies to the number probably of fifty or seventy-five. Old Colorow isin themountains north of Meeker waiting for them to join him. They ean do so in'a day. Then, when he learns of the Killing of his son, the trouble will begin, He will seek revenge and begin at Meeker, where there are 400 women and children. Not Heard of ‘Washington. ‘WASHINGTON, August 16.—[Special Tele- gram to the BEe.(—The Indlan office of the interlor department still professes to have re- ceived no news whatever of the reported out- break among the White River Utes, and all who ask for information are put off with the statement that the oftice believes that the re- Pom are greatly exaggerated, In view of he fact that the reports from the seat of bos- tilities continue to xive detalls of what seems to be an_outbreak among the Indians, it would appear that it is the llllti: of some one to make an official report to the govern- ment, General Upshaw, acting commissioner of ludian affairs, says that if the outbreak was at all serious the agent would certainly have informed the department before this, and because he has received no report of any kind he says that the nnwsillper stories of the affair are of course nothing but canards. To those having business with the oftice a different view presents itself. It is that the agent is very nefllzenk for no one but the acting commissioner doubts that the out- break is of a serious nature. To any ordi- nary clitizen the idea of telegraphing for in- formation would suggest itself, but Mr, Up- shaw says that up to the present time such a course has not been adopted by the depart- men the tront section were wrecked of the rear section running into it. The danger would depend upon how far apart the sections were running. Witness thought the size of the train did mnot cut any figure in the _cause or extent ~ of the disaster. In his opinion a train of fifteen cars, fourteen of them loaded with passen- gers, would not be considered dangerous by railroad men. He knew of regular trains of as many as a dozen coaches being run daily on some of the leading roads. On the same date the Toledo, ‘Peoria & Western train went out. the Lake Erie & Western ran out of Bloomington another excursion to Ni- agara Falls which was also a double-header and consisted of at least twenty coaches, pos- sibly twenty-two or twenty-three, and carried &0 passengers. Witness has been on a Wabash double-header of eleven or twelve coaches when it e\umwd the track and every coach ran off, some on one side and some on the other and not a single person was scratched. The railroads, the Pennsylvania system among them, frequently run double-neaders, The Toledo, Peoria & Western runs freight trains that way often when thelr length required it. Witness denied that Engineer McClintock had remonstrated with him about running a double-header. [t would be safe to run two engines together over a bridge proverly con- structed. The head engine, No. 21, was the largest on the road. 1t weighed forty tons. The second engine was No. 34, and weighed thirty-four tons. No. 21 was chosen for the excursion on account of its great strength and power, Beriah Warren, master mechanic of the Toledo, Peoria & Western, was sworn and testitied that he had been in the husiness twenty-five years on_several roads. He con- sidered the train in first-class condition for a trip of that kind. He had a great deal of experience in sendin out double headers on all the roads he hac been connected with, He would consider a tzain of fifteen passenger coaches perfectly safe.
