Hardly had the hoise of the wreck ceased when a sheet of lire ran through the shattered cars of both trains.

In the forward car of the westbound train every seat was occupied by passengers, most of whom were homeseekers. A number of foreigners were among them, and In their terror they gave tip life without making any attempt to reach safety outside the burning car. They sank to the floor of the car and were roasted alive. The cooler ones In the car, seeing their danger, rushed for the windows and doors, and with the aid of the passengers in the rear of the train and those members of the train crew who were unhurt, managed to reach the open air. Many were Injured by the rough handling they received or by flying glass.

When the occupants of the two sleeping cars saw that nothing could be done to check the flames they aided the trainmen in pushing back the undamaged cars. CAUSE OF ACCIDENT. The Utah and California express, southbound, left Pueblo an hour and a half late, with orders to meet the Colorado and New Mexico express, eastbound, at Florence. This order was changed and the westbound train was directed to pass the eastbound train at Beaver, about twelve miles east of Florence. The order should have been delivered to the train, crew at Swallow, but it said that the operator there wa asleep and let the train pass.

In the meantime, the eastbound train had received Its orders and expected to meet the westbound train at Beaver. No other orders intervened to prevent the wreck. Two victims of the wreck were Deputy Sheriff Edward Baird, of Denver, and Archibald Whitney, a prisoner whom Baird was taking to the penitentiary at Canon City. The officer was killed Instantly. Whitney was burned to death.

FELL DOWN STEPS AfID IS KILLED Andrew Schranko, 40 years of age, was fatally injured yesterday afternoon by falling down a flight of stairs at his boarding house in Throop. His skull was fractured and he died at 9 o'clock last night, without regaining consciousness. He has a wife and family in Austria.

Schranko left Throop on March 1 to work In Kingston. He worked in the mines. Before leaving he had a pay coming to him at the Pancoast colliery and yesterday he came from Kingston for it. After receiving his wages Schranko visited a few saloons, returning to his former boarding house at 4 o'clock. Going up the rear steps he passed through the bouse and was coming down the front way when he slipped on the topmost step.

In landing at the bottom his head came in contact with a rock. There was a suspicion of foul play when Schranko bad died, but it was determined, after Coroner Stein examined the body, that death was due to the fall. The coroner will not hold an Inquest. Character shows In Work. A foolish person builds foolishly, and a wise one sensibly, a virtuous one beautifully and a vicious one badly.

If stonework is well put together it means that a thoughtful man cut it and an honest man cemented It If it has too much ornament it means that its carver was too greedy of pleasure, if too little that he was rude or insensitive or stupid or the like. A man may hide himself from you or misrepresent himself to you every other way, but he cannot in his work. There be sure you have him to the utmost, all that he likes, all that be sees, all that he can do bis imagination, his affection, his perserverance, his Impatience, clumsiness, cleverness, everything is there. If the work is a cobweb you know it was made by a spider, if a honeycomb by a bee, a worm cast is thrown up by a worm and a nest wreathed by a bird, and a bouse is built by a man worthily if he is worthy and ignobly if he is Ignoble.

The purpose of these ponds was to furnish drinking water for cattle. An exposed position, where springs were absent, was selected, and a broad, hollowed surface was formed and covered over with straw or some other nonconducting material. Above was spreud a thick layer of clay strewn with stones. During the night the cold surface of the clay caused an abundance of moisture to condense from the lowerlayers of the air. Some of these ancient dew ponds are still in working order.

Mixed Feelings. The little girl who, after a drink of soda, declared that her nose felt as if her foot was asleep has evidently grown up and retained her happy power of expression, for evidently the young lady mentioned in" Punch la the same person who drank bubbles when she was small. The young woman was traveling in a coach as an elderly and somewhat sour looking man. In trying to open the window, pinched his finger nail severely. "Oh!" exclaimed the lady sympathetically.

"How horrid! I always think anything wrong with one's nails sets one's teeth on edge all down one's back!" Atmosphere. There Is a wide difference of opinion among the learned men of the world as to what would be the effect of wholly removing the atmosphere. Some think that if it were possible to live afterward all the stars, planets, would be visible In broad daylight. Others declare that there would be no day and that the sun Itself could not be seen under such conditions. E.

There was a large audience present, and all thoroughly en Joyed the excellent competitions.

It is almost certain that the auditorium Animals' In Exercise. The relaxed rhythmical movements so common among animals at play, the gamboling of lambs, the play of kittens and many similar animal activltiesare imitated by man In the primitive dances which form so large a part In the social and religious life of all aboriginal peoples. These motions of leaping, swinging, swaying and twisting of the body have, all of them, a most intimate and powerful influence upon the body's activities, organic and muscular. Rolling is a form of exercise which is a favorite with many animals and is especially practiced for the purpose of relieving fatigue. Rolling is peculiarly enjoyable and grateful to the animal because it provides not only relief for the tensed muscles, the depleted organs and the slow moving circulation, but because as the animal rolls the firm pressure of the ground upon his body constitutes a most effective and agreeable massage.

Heariea After Night. There Is one kind, of vehicle that neither the oldest nor the youngest inhabitant has seen on the street at night, or, if he has seen It at all, only infrequently. That is a hearse. Every other kind of conveyance used by modern man is driven about the streets freely after nightfall the heaise alone comes under the curfew law. Early hours seem to be imposed upon that somber carriage by common consent.

The public doesn't like to see it after dark, and coachmen don't like to drive it. No doubt there are benrses that are compelled by the exigencies of funeral arrangements to come home at unseasonable hours, but when forced to an infringement of the unwritten law they proceed through quiet streets where they will be least likely to wound the sensibilities of the superstitious.
