vention of the Federal Government. Tho

ties. A picket Of twenty-five men
who bad defended the school-house for
five hours were slaughtered after
surrendertng, The body of the COM
mander was subsequently, exposed 10 the
most terrible indignites. On tho follow
inc day number Of houses were sacked

sassinations Of q fearful and cowardly
character were perpetrated. One is thus

The Grand Trunk CollIsion-A Costly Ac-
 ctdent for tho Railroad COmpany-The
 Conductors Desire to Get to Bed Early
 at the Bottom of the Trouble.
 TORONTO, Jan. 3.-The fatalities resulting from the Humbert collision now number twenty-six and more of the victims will die. Some yet living have their limbs burned to the bones. Since the accident five out of the nineteen who were at the hospital died and it is thought that half the remainder will not live. Death in few cases where the body WAS not at all injured resulted frem the in- haling of steam from the boiler by several victims who were fastened in the wreck while the escaping steam hissed in their faces The theory is that the conductor of the freight wanted to make good time and get to bed early and so tried to get in before the t'dum- n.y." which he is said to have done before Many of the workmen killed were excellent artisans and some were brought from the United States when the bolt works were opened. Charles Spolin, one of the dead, belonged to Cleveland. The track is being cleared as fast as possible. Action will be brought against the Grand Trunk railway in every case and it is estimated that it will re- quire $2, ,0oo,OO to satisfy the claims. The corrected list of the dead up to this evening is as follows: David Carruthers Joseph Keefer, John Donahue, William Turrif, l Richard Mulligan, George Prescott, John Kernoughan, Charles Hanley, John McKen 1 zie, R. D. Herman, George and A. D. Seall, | John Aggett, Fred. Bothroyd, James Kelley, James White, Thomas Walls, John Rowlett,
 John Lynch, Charles Spolin, James Macdon- ald Samuel Bailey, Hugh Cunningham, Eddie Robinson, Matthew Walker and Charles Macdonald. The two last named died this morning

corridor his gaze fell upon the gal
 lows. A few steps more ard he
 was under the dangling rope. The
 was broken down. to the chalk mark under
 the cross beam and then quickly afixing the
 moose to the rope pulled down the black cap.
 In less than ten seconds the trap was sprung and Martins body shot suddenly upward at
 10:27 1-2. Martin died in great agony. His arms having been improperly pinioned he raised his left hand and nearly caught the rope struggling wildly for as much as three minutes. The rope slipped and he slowly strangled to death. After the body had been suspended about fifteen minutes it was low cred sufficiently for the physicians to exam inc it. After hanging for twenty five min utes the body was taken down and the scaf- fold was then got in readiness for the execu- ton of Graves.
 Graves, an infidel, who would not confess had nobody to visit him and, indeed, seemed not to care whether he had or not. He was decreplt broken down old man of sixty eight. He was dragged bodily down the stairs by two stalwart men. His legs hung limp, and the constables had his whole weight to bear up; his head hung weakly forward, and he was whining like child in dread of whipping. No clergyman attended nm. Graves was an atheist, and had refused to permit any minister to accompany him in his last march. His keepers say he argued sharply on the question of 8 future existence No time was lost in ending the horrible spectacle. He was hurried, almost rushed down the corridor to the dangling rope that awaited him. His two attendants faced him about. In a twinkling he was placed squarely on the chalk marks, his legs strapped, the black cap drawn down, and the moose he wore around his neck frightened. He shrieked like a child in pain when Haneman Van Hise drew the moose up under his left ear and fastened it in the iron ring overhead. Two men held him by his pinioned arms, else he would have fallen prone to the floor. Uuder Sheriff Davis waved his handkerchief. The weight fell, and the old man was hauled, still whimpering in his feeble way, to the cross-beam. His breast and stomach heaved with the vigor of a strong man struggling for life. and this fact was accepted as disposing of the theory of imbecility and physical weakness, advanced by his counsel to save him. He struggled, but not so pitifully as Martin had struggled. His hands blackened as they dropped by his side In sixteen minutes he was pronounced dead, and at 11:30 his body was taken down and placed by the side of that of Martin.

A DoubIs ExecutiOn-Pftiful Scenes at
 the GaII0ws-The Prisoners Eat Break
 fast Under the ScafTOld.
 NEWARK, Jan. 3.-Before daybreak this morning the prison here became scene of hustle and activity. Breakfast was being prepared for the inmates and preparations were being made to remove the prisoners in the cells in the east corridor so that they could not witness the hanging of Robert Mar tin, who murdered his wife, and of James Graves, who killed little Eddie Soden. At 6 o. ID. the Rev.sA. L. Wood, one of Martins spiritual advisers, arrived. Martin was awake when the clergyman came. In short time afterward the condemned was engaged m prayer. At ' o'clock the doors of the cells were unlocked and after the prisoners had washed and dressed themselves they were formed in line to receive their breakfast The close proximity of the gallows did not seem to have any depressing effect on the appeti.es of the prison ers After breakfast was served the occupants of the last corridor were marched around in Indian file to the other side of the prison, passing the scaffold on the way. As soon as they had been removed the hangman tested the gallows. The muslin curtains of the windows were drawn down and the exc. cusioner was ready for his work The police stretched ropes across the intersections of the streets surrounding the jail. and this nade it comparatively easy to keep back in- truders. When the sheriff gave the signal to start for the galIows the clergyman who had been fervently praying with Martin joined in the procession, reclting prayers as they went. As soon as the condemned man reached the iron gate opening into the

in the Mexican peninsula. In 1876 there was
 8 population of one thousand in the area
 named, but nothing was heard from them for
 years. Early in 1888 the Mexican govern
 ment sent an expedition under Senor Blanco to explore the country. They travelled from San Diego down the Pacific coast of the Gulf of California and returned in four months almost skeletons For 25O miles they saw no living thing except an old Indian and his squaw. The pack animals died of hunger and thirst. At two places they passed de- serted mission churches built of stone. In these were gold and silver vessels on the Rl- tRrs and in the vestries hung prisstly vest ments covered with dust and dropping to pieces with age. Dried and biesched bones were found, but not bird, animal or reptile, not 8 drop of water and no indication of rain for years. A few days later they found rich deposits of gold ore, both placer and ledge, of which they brought back specimens. These specimens are in the hands of the agent of the St. Louis syndicate and have been assayed by government experts. The placer specimens have $24O to the pound and the ledge specimens from $60, 900 to $2OO,- 900 to the ton. To reach these deposits pipe lines and artesian wells will be tried and caches constructed for food. The country Is the abode of desolation and many lives will be sacrificed before it can be made habitable for the gold hunters.

FenIan Letter tO Pope Leo.
 ROME, Jan. 3.-A letter was received to- day by Monsignor Boccali. private secretary to Pope Leo XIII, purporting to come from a Fenian organization in America. The waiter states that if his holiness continues to instruct the clergy in Great Britain to dis courage the aggressive policy of the National league and otherwise indiscreetly aid and coun- tenanoe England in expressing the Irish peo- pie the priests in America will promptly and emphstically signify their disapproval. The letter says that the priests in America are de- termined to sustain the cause of Ireland against the tyranny of England and if the Pope renders further support to the enemies of Ireland will send g deputation to Rome who will, if necessary, demand that their views be heard.

 CHICAGO, Jan. 3.-Three desperate ghouls were arrested to-day by sheriff and detec- tives from DeKalb county.

In sleigh which was in their pos session were found axes and meat hooks for the purpose of opening graves and taking the bodies from them.
