Horrible Disaster on the Col-orado Midland Railroad. A Wrecked Coach Converted Into a Veritable Steam Chest. Thirteen Persons Imprisoned In the Wreck and Terribly Scalded. Seven Perish and Six Injured Beyond Recovery. Aspus, Col, July 13.

A horrible railroad accident occurred at Aspen Junction, eighteen miles west of here, on the Midland road, at 11 o'clock Saturday night, by which six persons were killed and many hurt. A special train of baggage car and one passenger coach was returning to Aspen from Olenwood Spring. The passenger coach contained about thirty passengers, mostly Aspen people. The train was backing from the water tank to switch to the Aspen track when a road engine was run out of the railroad roundhouse and collided with the coach. The rear end of the passenger train hit the check valve on the side of the boiler, which exhausted the hot steam into the broken end of the passenger car, scalding thirteen passengers, five men, seven women and one child.

The car was thrown from the track. The passengers arrived from Aspen in the baggage car at 1:30 a. m. Everything possible was done to relieve the sufferings of the unfortunate passengers, but six died to day. They are: Mr.

and Mrs. A. B. Rogers of Woody, Miss Annie Phelan of Cardiff, Col, aged 17 years; Mrs. W.

L. Willoughbyof Glenwood, Mrs. John O. Baldwin of Olenwood, Mrs. Frank Ellis of Aspen, and baby; a child of Frank Ellis, aged 2 years.

The wounded who still live with hopes or recovery are: Frank Ellis, Mr. and Mrs. Joseph Leonard, Mary Leonard, Ann O'Donnell, Frank Leach. Mrs. YVilloughby was the wife of the assessor of Garfield county.

Mrs. Baldwin's husband is in Chicago. Engineer Switzer of the excursion train had run his train up to the water tank at the junction for water. When backing down to get on the main track, a light engine shet out from behind the coal chutes, which are located in such a way as to conceal the engine tracks from view from tracks leading to the water tank. The engineer on the light engine, thinking he couid get out before the excursion train took the main track, made the attempt, but struck the rear coach of the excursion train at the switch.

The force of the collision tore the check valve from the enginend poured scalding steam and water iuto the wrecked coach load of people. The passencers were at the mercv of the roaring screeching monster at their side. Through the broken valve torrents oi seaming steam and water poured out upon the helpless victims. Of the passengers in the car three colored men who were in the forward compartment were the only ones uninjured. Conductor Miller with the train crew and uninjured passengers immediately began the work of rescue.

A 2 year old child of Frank Ellis of Aspen was taken out dead and Miss Annie 1'helan or Cardiff, Col, died ten minutes after being rescued. The victims' cries were terrible and their scalded races and arms and bodies presented a sight to bring tears of pity. In spite of all efforts to save their lives Mrs. Frank Ellis, Mrs. Baldwin and Mrs.

Willoughby died within two hcurs from the time of the wreck and rs. Iiogers died at 5 o'clock yesterday moruing and her husband at 10 o'clock. Mrs. Baldwin and Mrs. Willoughby were the most frightfully burned.

The latter begged piteously to be kept alive until her husband could reach her. Of the others still living Mrs. Mary O'Donnell will die. Coroner Hills of this city has gone to the scene of the accident and will hold an inquest to day on the bodies or those who died here.

Down here at the foot of these nigged hills, "amid the beneficient fruition nf nature," stands the little village of Oak Mills, gazing out in solitary delight up on the rough and turbulent Missouri. Oak Mills may appear to some as being almost out of the world; some may con jecture that it is a very rough place, and in fact is often called "Slabtown," but when we realize the true beauty and grandure of nature, we are ready to admit that Oak Mills is a picturesque little village, and it is not altogether a bad place, either, for it hag soqie very good straightforward people. John Davitz, postmaster and merchant is doing a business that would be of credit to a larger town, and he enjoys the connaence ot his many patronizing friends. Mr. Davitz occupies a large, substantial building, neatly arranged and well furnished, and the poatofflce depart ment is conceded by all to be a fine one for a town of this size.

We have the pleasure of visiting Mr. Davitz' establish ment quite often and we always find him very busy. He is also an enterprising farmer and he has about 45 acres of the finest corn in this vicinity. John L. Waddle, merchant and farmer, is very enterprising and we understand he is doing well.

J. Blankenbaker, blacksmith and re pairer, is an old and highly respected citizen of this place. He hammers away at his anvil with much patience and energy for a man of his age. Mr. Blankenbaker is doing well and be has a neat little cottage home.

J. C. Heckenburg, telegraph operator, has won the esteem of the public by his courteous and obliging disposition. It M. King, sportsman and farmer, is another old and highly respected citizen of this place and is one of the best hearted fellows in the vicinity.

Estimates Prepared By Foreign Millers Declared Optimistic- The Object of That Report is the Securing oi Grain Cheaply. Washington. D.

July 13. The report from the commercial agent of Limoges, France, on the harvest prospects in France and Europe, has been received at the state department The National Millers' association of France, etc, report says, has just issued an esti mate founded on carefully collected data of the probable wheat harvest of France and Europe for 1891. The estimated yield lor 1891 will be 182,000,000 hectol itres. This is the maximum estimate; It will be 310,000,000 less than the harvest of 1890. Out of this there will be used for consumption, seeding and re-sowing 128,000,000 hectolitres.

Europe and Egypt will hare a fair harvest; in Hungary it will be below the average this year Estimates given by millers are optimistic. The desire to create an impression that there is a better supply than really exists is done with this purpose; they want to buy grain as cheaply as possible in those fortunate countries that have an abundance to export. In 1890 17,640,000 acres were sown with wheat, and the average yield was 16.7 hectolitres per acre. In conclusion, the report says that not only France, but all Europe, ia looking longingly to the wheat fields of the United States. Last year many hoped South America would help supply the deficit, but to-day no mention is made of this country.

All hope is built on our (United States) harvest. The fact, as recently stated, is thet the bread of Europe must come from America. NEWS FROM HAITI. The Black Republic Does Not Recognize the American Representative- Legitime Growing in Favor With the Inhabitants of the Island New Yobk, July 13. The steamer Atlas, from Port Limon, arrived here this afternoon.

Late in June the Atlas touched at Ilayti, and according to her officers it was learned that Fred Douglass Lnited States minister to Ilayti, had left his post at Port au-Pnnce because Hayti did not care to recognize a repre sentative of the United States, and it was rather the desire of -the "Black Republic" to break off all intercourse with this country. There had been no report of revolutions when the Atlas touched at Hayti and no news from that country was received on the return trip when she put into Kensington, except that Legitime was still there and he was growing in favor, liaytiens prefer him to Ilippolyte and only await bis word to institute another revolt. The Atlas also brought nnws of the faiiure of the extensive fruit importing corporation known as the Baltimore Fruit Wasdinuton, D. July 13. Reports brought to New York by steamer from Hayti that Minister Douglass left his post because the Haytian government did cot care to recognize the representative of the United States and desired to break off all intercourse with this country are discredited at the department of state.

Minister Douglass when shown the telegram to night said there was no truth in it so far as he knew. He had received no intimation, either in Ilayti or here, that the government wished to break off all intercourse with the United States or was dissatisfied with him as minister. WEST 10 PIECES. Dissolution of the Watch Trust. St.

Loris, July 13. The Bauroan-Massa Jewelry Supply company received a telegram from Chicago this afternoon, Btating that the watch trust had gone to pieces under the action of the Illinois anti-trust law. The "watch trust" was a jobbers' association of manufacturers of American watches and comprised every large watch case manufacturing concern in the country. The dissolution was caused by the withdrawal of the Elgin company, which, being an Illinois corporation, was amenable to the new law. This was followed by tne withdrawal of others until the trust crumbled out of existence.

The dissolution was also hastened liy the withdrawal and the suit of the Joseph Fahy Watch company re cently, which exposed the inside workings of the trust. THE SIXTH VICTIM. Miss O'Donnell Succumbs to Injuries Received in the Midland Disaster. Aspen, July 14. Mary Ann O'Donnell was the ninth victim of the Aspen junction railroad collision.

She died at 9 o'clock last evening and it is thought her brother will not survive today. Mrs. Leonard will probably die, which will leave only Mr. Leach and Mr. Leonard.

The coroner's inquest was held with closed doors, but Pat Rush was the only witness other than seven railroad men. He testified that he was standing on the rear platform when the collision occurred. The associated press representative has just closed an interview with him in which he repeated his evidence, which is to the effect that the freight engine was going ahead and had not started to back and that the train backed down at a lively rate against the engine and he jumped off just as the car hit the engine. He saw a man with a lantern running about ten feet in advance of the engine, but saw him give no signal. The jury was taken to the scene of the disaster last night and a verdict will be rendered to-day.

The Howell lumber enttaVpse, oae of the largest concerns in west has failed, and at present it appears that the failure is complete. The lumber business throughout the west and south will no doubt be effected somewhat by the failure, as the concern was a large one and an immense amount of capital was invested. As stated in The Champion yesterday morning, the first intimation of the failure was in the receipt of a telegram by H. C. Solomon from the First National bank of Chicago, instructing him to take charge of the lumber yard of Howell, Jewett Co.

at this place. This Mr. Solomon did, and yesterday a mortgage was filed by Spooner R. Howell of Chicago as proprietor of the Atchison lumber yard of Howell, Jewett the machinery, planing mills, railroad tracks, to the First National bank of Chicago, to secure a note of $25,000. Mention is made in the mortgage of the fact that George W.

Howell some time ago transferred the lumber yard in this city to S. R. Howell. It has since become known that Herbert N. Jewett ha no interest in the concern, being the manager or the yard at Omaha, which iB also the property of 8.

R. Howell, and conducted under the name of the Howell Lumber company. The firm or Howell Bros, is composed solely or Geo. W. Hewell.

Its main office is at Atchison. Throughout Kansas it has a large number of lumber yards. It has no stock of lumber at Atchison. The firm of S. R.

Howell Co. is composed solely of Spooner K. Howell, and does business at Chicago. Howell, Jewett Co's. Texas and Louisiana interests censi9t of about acres of pine land and two large saw 1 mills, one of the latter being at Logans- port.

and the other at Longview, Tex. The mill at Logansport is said to be the largest of its kind in the world. It is fitted up with an electric light plant and was mn night and day. The two mills have a capacity of 60,000 feet of lumber each day, and until the crash came were ia active operation. "The firm owned another mill at Jeffersonville, which it sold some time ago to the Jeffersonville Lumber company.

The money for this mill, together with a large bill of lumber, is still owing by the lumber company or its principal stockholder, J. H. Bemis. The amount due is about $400,000. Bemis failed last week, and his failure i3 sid to bs in part responsible foi the failure of the Howells.

The Omaha yard, of which II. N. Jewett was the manager, was transferred by bim to O. L. Cuaffe, a lumber broker of that city, on Tuesday, on a bill of sale for $112,000, the same day au assignment was made by S.

R. Howell in favor of the principal creditor, the First National bank of Chicago. A teleeram from Omaha last night stated that the sheriff had taken possession of the yard, and that itailey P. Waggener had garnished funds in the hands of banks and individuals to secure $5,000 represented by a due bill that he holds. While George W.

nowell is not con nected as a partner with either Spooner It Howell, or Howell, Jewett he is involved with them, and their failure wrecks him also. He has executed mort gages on his yards in western Kansas. W. R. Smith, his attorney, is authority for the statement that he will have nothing left but his home in this city.

He estimates the assets of the parties in volved at $3,000,000, but is unable to estimate what the liabilities wils- aggregate. The claim of the Chicago bank is for $200,000. C. H. Blount, tb lumber dealer at 1116 Main s'reet, last night filed an attachment suit against Howell, Jewett Co lor $50,000, and the Missouri Pacific rail way company filed a suit for $1,350, the amount due for freight charges.

It is said that a Topeka bank has been secured for $25,000, and a Lawrence bank for $12,000. The truth of the statement that How ell Bros, were indebted to the First National bank of this city for $9,500 could not be verified yesterday. The claim was said to have been secured, The failure was a surprise to many. A business man who claims to be posted says the Howells will come out of the crash in better shape than they were before.
