The smok- er and chair car were turned partly over. The passengers injured were mostly in the tourist sleeper that was turned on its side in the ravine. The dining car and two sleepers remained on the track and the diner was converted into a hospital car. A wrecking train with a number of phy- siclans was hurried from Buena Vista at 11;% o'clock, and it was not until 3:15 this morning th# the injured were brought here. That many were not killed outright was marvelous, On the Colorado and Southern near Schwanders, six miles west of here, a wreck was reported at 3 o'clock this morning. The engineer and fireman are reported seriously injured. Further de- tails have not been received. The passengers who were badly injured were removed to-day to the hospital at Salida, Colo. Five of them are reported to be in a serlous condition. They are: Mrs. Hopkins, Albion, Ohio; Mrs. H. L. Lather, Pittsburg, Kans.; Mr. and Mrs, R. J. Kapp, Milwaukee, and John D.

NEW HAVEN, Aug. ls.—After array- ing herselt in evening dress for a dinner party, Mrs. Arthur E. Bradley drank car- bolic acid and died in the presence of her parents and family. She was the hand- some daughter of Loren H. Stannard, a wealthy manufacturer of this city, and lived at his summer place, Woodmont-on- the-Sound. “I will be with you in a moment,” Mrs. Bradley called to her brother, with whom she was to attend the dinner, then go- ing into the next room she swallowed the poison. The brother, hearing her groans, ran into the room and found the burns of the acid on hér face and shoulders. Thoe rest of the family were called and a phy- giclan summoned, but the young woman was beyond ald.

Badly as soldlers were wanted about that time the youngster found considerable difficulty in finding a recruiting officer to accept him, but after repeated failures he found an old fam- ily friend, who took him into his own regiment. Merrick’'s boyhood days were passed near Yorkville, Kendal County, Ill. His | two brothers enlisted and the little fellow | contracted the war fever in violent form. He presented himself to the mustering officer, who told him he was too young and tender to stop rebel bullets and ad- vised him to go home and grow older. Five times the youngster was turned Gown. In desperation and still undaunt- ed he left home and proceeded to Chicago. | He found at camp Fry an old friend of the family, Captain Frank A. Bpys, com- manding Company C of the Oné Hundred and Forty-seventh Illinols, and on Febru- | ary 1, 1865, the name of Eugene Merrick was added to the company roll. Merrick enlisted as a soldler and for two weeks shouldered a musket and did what he could to master the drills and duties of his new profession. At the end of that time Captain Buys, fearing a rep- rimand for having enlisted so tender a vouth, made Merrick a drummer. The regiment, which was organized under the third call, was ordered to the front, but did not see much hard service, being with Sherman in the fag end of the Georgia campalgn. Merrick likes nothing better than to re- call his boyish experiences during that grim time. His martial spirit was consid- | erably dampened, he confesses, the first | ime he found himself under fire. His | pride held him to the task he had under- taken, however, and he stuck it out to the He was mustered out January 20, , at Camp Butler. Captain Merrick has always been ready to serve his country in its hour of need. During times of peace he does his duty las a good citizen. When the late war with Spain was declared Merrick again ! volunteered under the Stars and Stripes. He enlisted and recelved a commission as cantahii of volunteers. Through no fault of hts own he took no active part in the campaign, his regiment getting no nearer the front than Key West. | When Captain Merrick enlisted in 1865 | he promised a woman who took great in- | terest in the little soldier that he would neither smoke nor use tobacco. He has abided by that boyish pledge throughout hig life. He is a convincing speaker and occaslonally takes the stump in the in- terest of ‘good citizenship. @ il bl @ OAKLAND’S ENTERTAINMENT.

PRICES REBOUNT = Many Factors Contrib- ute to Reaction in Stocks. NEW YORK, Aug. 15.—Operations in to- day’s stock market were made up large- ly of professional trading. The profes- slonals were inclined to work for a re- action, owing to the rapidity of the week's recovery in the market, which might be assumed at once to have been of a vul- nerable character on the long side of the market. London evidently took a gloomy view of the situation and had made in- roads on last night's prices before the opening here. The selling by the arbi- trage operators quickly carried prices down to the London level. There was also free profit taking in Amalgamated Copper. After the London selling was compléted there was a pause, and then a vigorous recovery which retrieved prac- tically all the prices. This was appar- ently in anticipation of a favorable bank statement. The statement did not meet | this expectation.

The market sold off again to about the lowest. with net losses of a point or more for some of the principal active stocks. The down- ward course of the stock market termin- ated for the present with the plunge of last Saturday and prices have rebounded with some violence this week. It was not without the air of some forcible measures in the way of support for the market by large buying qgders and by a relaxation of the vressure for liquidation of loans that the decline was arrested. Monday morning saw an ingathering of influen- tial men in the financial world recalled from various quarters by Saturday's events and It is commonly supposed that the results of Monday were the result to an extent of concerted measures among bankers and capitalists. The mere fact of the arrest of the declines had the eftect of lightening the selling pressure upon the market caused by the destruc- There was some fur- | ther selling of collateral out of loans early in the week, causing a continuance of some of last week's rumors of finan- cial difficulties overhanging the market, | | but the absorption of stocks was of a | much more confident and determined char- acter than for a long time.
