T7.—Approximately one- half of the business portion of Biggs, in Southern Butte County, was destroyed by fire this afternoon, entailing a loss of over $40,000 and sweeping away the most substantial part of the town. The fire started in a small clothing and furnish- ing goods establishment owned by Joseph Eller of Sacramento and conducted by Joseph Rehfeld. The latter was cooking a meal on a gasoline stove and the gaso- line tank exploded. Within five minutes the fire was spread- ing with great rapidity both east and west, for this establishment was mid- way of the principal business block. Though fully 300 men assembled to en- deavor to fight the fire, there was no fire apparatus with which to accomplish anything and all that could be done was to form a bucket brigade and try to save the business block on the opposite side of the street, which was done after a most determined fight lasting about two hour: Lo ly as follows: Pacific s and insurance were approximate- depot, equipment and 1.

York died at noon at the temporary hospital. Fifteen of the in- jured were this afternoon taken to the Harper Hospital in Detroit for treatment. The circus people have pitched their tents and camped near the scene of the wreck. The dining-room of . Hotel Riche- lieu was used as an operating room by | the surgeons. A score of wives and daughters of the residents volunteered and worked with the surgeons all the morning. Many of the injured were fas- tened down in the wreckage so that they had to be chopped and pried out. The circus travels in two trains of about fifteen cars each, After last night's exhibition at Charlotte the two trains left for Lapeer over the Grand Trunl, the second section leaving a half hour after the first. It was 3:45 o'clock when the first section pulled into the west side of the Grand Trunk yards here. A red light was hung on the rear car to stop the second section. Engineer Probst of Battle Creek, who was running the en- gine of the rear train, says he saw this light and applied the air brakes. To his horror they refused to work. He reversed his engine. but the: momentum of the train behind him was too great and with a crash that aroused all of the town near the yards the two trains met. Fireman Colter and Brakeman Benedict, when they saw that a collision could not be averted, jumped. Engineer Probst re- mained at his post, vainly trying to get the brakes to work until his train was within less than a hundred feet of train No. 1. Then he, too, jumped when he was within but a very few seconds of sure death in the crush. He was shaken up, as were the fireman and brakeman, but not badly. None of the crews of either train was hurt. CARS TELESCOPED. Three cars of the stationary first sec- tion were telescoped and the engine and five cars of the moving train were de- molished. tion was a caboose, in which the train- men were sleeping, and the next two were filled with sleeping circus employes. The greatest loss of life was in the caboose. One of the wrecked cars of the second section was occupied by five elephants and several camels. One of the elephants and two camels were killed outright, while the other animals and their trainers escaped. With the exception of this car The rear car of the first sec- | 1903.

Partly wrapped about the bones Wwas a heavy iron chain, while the neck Wwore a heavy collar of sheet iron riveted together. Constable Rivera of Redlands, who is an old-time settler in the -district, says that almost twenty years ago a prisoner, James Wharton by name, escaped from the Los Angeles jail. He effected his es- cape by filing the ball from his chain while at work in the courtyard. He made his way east to this city, where he was shortly ufterward detected by officers. Before-they could capture him, however, he stole a horse, and when last seen | was making his way along the road to| old San Bernardino. The horse returned home next day, but Wharton was never | Seen again. Those who saw him last said that he still wore his chain, and there | can be little doubt that the skeleton found to-day is that of the escape of twenty years ago. The ‘bones were found three and a half feet under the earth. How they came there or how Wharton met | death is a mystery. i ————— - | COLORED MISSIONARY | ROBBED OF COLLECTIONS Held Up on Railroad Track and Re- | lieved of Money Meant to ; | { Convert Heathen. WOODLAND, Aug. 7.—David Swack- | Swackhanner has been engaged in mis- | sionary work in Sacramento for two _‘weeks. On Thursday he left that city. | He was traveling along the railroad and | at the point where he was robbed the; county road crosses the railroad. The two men hailed him. They were dressed in khaki suits, wore leggins and | belts, which were filled with cartridges. | One of the men. of dark complexion, was | about 40 years of age and his dark mus- | tache appeared to be dved. The other was apparently 35 years of age, his hair | | was sandy and his face was clean shaved. The robbery occurred about 12:30 o’clock. | | Mr. Swackhanner was relieved of $9, | which represented his net collections for missionary work in Sacramento for two weeks. After the robbery the two men left the . road and started across fields in a south- | easterly. direction, ranging between Da- | visville and Sacramento. | The missionary continued his journey | | along the railroad in the direction of Woodland. After traveling about two miles he met Under Sheriff Brown and Deputy Sheriff Griffin, who are out searching for Howard. He says they would not belfeve his story. | @il i @ {none of the menagerie was wrecked, the | | demolished cars containing canvas or | | wagons. As soon as they recovered from | the first shock the trainers rushed among | | the cages, quieting the animals that were | excited. An elephant in the wrecked car ‘bcha\‘nd with surprising calmness and | was led out of the wreck without trouble. | | A wrecking crew is kept in the yards | here and it was on the scene in a very few minutes. All physicians and trained | nurses in the town were sent for and the | Hotel Richelieu was converted into a tem- | porary hospital. Scores of volunteers | with stretchers were soon i readiness to | carry the injured away as fast as the rescuers could extricate them. The dead, | | | [ many of them so terribly mangled that | identification seemed well-nigh impossible, were laid on the ground a short distance from the scene. By 6 o'clock a corps of twelve physicians was operating on the !injured and dressing their wounds in the temporary hospital. Four of the injured died at the hospital before 8:30 o'clock. | When the wrecked train crews had fin- ished pulling together the broken cars twelve dead men were lying on the grass awaiting removal to the morgue. A majority of them were killed while asleep. The circus performers were on the rear of the moving train and escaped injury. NO ESTIMATE OF LOSS. Wallace Brothers say their loss will be very heavy, but have given no estimate of it as yet. The official report on the acci- dent issued by Superintendent Brownlee declarea positively that the airbrakes | have been tested since the accident and found to be in perfect condition and there is evidence that they were not applied. One of the officials, in describing the ac- cident and its cause, said that he believed that Engineer Probst had exhausted his air in checking his train several times between Lansing and Durand and failed to charge his tank again. The head brake- man and fireman, who were on the en- gine, bear out Engineer Probst's state- ment that the brakes refused to work. The bodies of the dead have been placed in coffins and are belng shipped to their homes as rapidly as possible. DETROIT, Aug. 7.—Twenty-two of the injured circus men were brought to De- troit thig afternoon in a special hospital train and taken to Harper Hospital. At the hospital to-night it was stated that none of them were likely to dle to-night, although John Thomson of Peru, Ind.: George Clough and James Stewart are in a serious condition and may not recover.

Ak ROME, Aug. 7—St Peter's is closed while the preparations for the coronation next Sunday are proceeding. Pope Pius X has expressed a desire to have as many of the humble members of the faith as possible admitted, and 50,000 tickets will be distributed by the parish priests, Catholic clubs and associations, semin- aries, ecclesiastical colleges, monasteries and convents. The remainder of the seats will be reserved for distinguished guests. Thousands are already leaving the Vene- | tian provinces to attend the coronation | of “their Pope.” The Government, to avoid untoward in- cidents,«has ordered the piazza and the | neighborhoed of St. Peter's and the ba- silica to be occupied by the military, and has forbidden an anti-clerical manifesta- | tion proposed by the Socialists and Re-‘ publicans for that day. The Pope’s first allocution, to be deliv- | | ered at the next secret consistory, is looked forward to with great interest. Don Carlos, the Spanish pretender, who | is a personal friend of Pius X, has said to his followers that he would not now have the papacy against him, as he did under the pontificate of Leo, who was godfather of King Alfonso, and has even | gone so far as to say that he hoped the | accession of the Pope would help him to the throne. | Dr. Lapponi said to-day that Cardinal | Herrero y Espinosa was out of danger. | e RECEIVES CARDINAL GIBBONS. | Pope Pius Extends Apostolic Benedic- | renewed his expressions of interest in America, already made manifest by his | reception on ‘Wednesday to the pilgrims from the United States.

W., WASHINGTON, Aug. 7.—In his con- troversy with Professor Langley over th question of using the Mount V. on Ducking Association’s clubhouse as head- quarters for airship workmen, Truxt Beale has turned the first trick. Dr. H. C. Yarrow, president of the asso clation, in response to a protest by Beale and his friends, has dent notices to all club membegs, including Professor Lang | ley, that hereafter the clubhouse is to be | used only by members and their persona guests.” It was sald by members of the club to-night that this would have the ef fect of putting flying machine mechanics and laborers out of the clubhouse unless Professor Langley chose to introduce them as his “personal guests,” which is deemed unlikely. The mystery of Professor Langley's whereabouts is quite as deep in Wash- ington as it is in Widewater, and no one yet has been able to find hiln here to serve notice of President Yarrow’s rui- ing In regard to club guests.
