A speelnl from Pueblo, Colored >, says: One of the moat terrible cat.is trophes of the Arkansas Valley happened at an early hour Sunday nigiit wht-n train No. 11 of the Missouri Pacific, known i>s the "Yvorld's Fair Flyer," which runs over the Denver tcvd Rio Grande tracl<3 b t'.veon Pueblo and Denver, rrjshcd through a bridge over an arroyo or (try creek, noar Eden, about eight miles irotn Pueblo. It is estimated '.hat of the 125 passengers on board the ill-fated train, between 80 and 100 lost their lives, either under the waters of the raging torrent, or beneath the wreckage. Upon the c vs reaching Pueblo. :i special train bearing all the available surgeons and the l'l I o Grande and Missouri Pacific officials lift for the scene. Horror Indescribable. The wreck proves to "novo boon 11:10 of the greatest railroul disaster:* In tho history of tho country. Two crowded passenger cars and a baggage car wore engulfed in tiio torrent, ' and ho far as known onlv three 'if the occupants of the-o ears esciped death. Fortunately two s'.ceplnj; cars an i a diner, completing the train, remained on the track at tho edg? of the abyss, and none of their occupants were killed or injured. The exnet. number of victims probably never will b? definitely ascertained, for tho tre ichorous snnli are drifting over the bodies. Searching for the dead was begun about midnight on an extensive s<5a!o. All corpses found were removed to Pueblo and placed in four morgues. At right o'clock Monday night seventy-six borlios had bean recovers 1. and of theso fifty had been identified During the dr?y bodies wore recover d all the way along Fountain riwr (into j\.. which the waters of Dry C rook enter-! ed).t from the scone of the wreck n Puoolo. raoro thin eight miles from tlie point whore,the dis.istor occurred, and it ia probable that some may bo recovered oven further down stream.

Two sleeping cars and the dining far fltopp* d at tlio brink < " the hungry chasm. filled with a boiling, seething current that qu!? Uly snnfied out probably 100 live.-;. So quietly had the catastrophe been enaeted that the occupants of the*three earn remaining on the track did not realize that an acddent nad occurred until they alighted from the train. Then they wore utterly powerless to render assistance tf? the victims who had disappeared in the rushing waters. On the IookoiU for H ingor, * warned by the squally clouds an I heavy rains to the north, Engineer Charles Hlndman wa? running cautiously about 15 miles an hour as he approached the rtrroyo, which was spanned by a bridge ninety-six f<et in length. The condition of the bridge was not known untfl the locomotive one of tlie monster passenger typ**, had nearly crossed.
