The Railway Collision Near Mentone-Two of
the Coaches Fall Into the Sea.
MONTE CARLO. March 1L-Three passengers.
an engineer and guard were instantly killed in
the collision which occurred on the railroad be-
tween Monte Carlo and Mentone yesterday
Twenty-six of the passengers were injured one
third of them very dangerously. The collision
happened on sharp curve which the two trains,
both filed with Travellers tried to round at the
same time on single track. The trains were
badly telescoped and were thrown from the
track The point where the collision occurred
is situated on cliff overlooking the sea, and
about 125 feet above the beach. Two of the
carriages which were thrown from the track and
fell down this cliff. rolled considerable distance
in the shallow water at the base and imbedded
themselves in the sand. Both these coaches were
full of people, and the wonder is that all were
not killed. The wounded have been conveyed to
hotels at Monte Carlo. Many of the travellers
were Americans and Englishmen. and the Ca
lamity has cast gloom over the American and
English colonies here.
LATER.-It is stated this afternoon that no
Americans or Englishmen were killed in the col
lision.
Investigation shows that the accident was due
to the neglect of two station masters, each of
whom, while operating from opposite ends OF
that part of the line which was single tracked
was guilty of the same act of carelessness. The
one sent the Mentone train on to Monte Carlo.
and the other sent the Monte Carlo train towards
Meptone without first inquiring if the single line
of rails was clear.
Another extraordinary feature of the disaster
is the fact that of an entire French family who
were touring together in one of the coaches
thrown down the cliff. not one was killed or ia
tally injured, although all had their legs broken.
The London Daily News estimates the number
of deaths in the Monte Carlo railway disaster at
forty, including seven railway employees. No
other reports confirm this estimate.

CYRUS W. Field Asks Indemnity.

BOSTON, March 1.-The joint committee on
claims of the State Legislature today began a
hearing in the case of Cyrus w. Field, of New
York, against the Commonwealth for indemnity,
because the Governor and Council. in November
last, rejected his bid of ST. 800 600 for the secur
ties of the New York 81 New England road. held
by the Commonwealth, and because Governcr
Robinson afterward made public statement of
his reasons therefor, to the general effect that
Mr.. Field was inimical to the existing manage
ment of the road, in the prosperity of
which the Commonwealth was interested,
thereby aspersng Mr.. Fields character
and motives There was a large array of conn
sell representing Mr.. Field, the Commonwealth,
the road. the stockholders. etc. Counsel for Mr..
Field laid before the committee all the docu-
ments connected with the controversy, and pro-
ceaded to say that the Governor had sold the
bonds at 80: that they had since risen as high as
III, or an aggregate appreciation of nearly
$500, 600; that they were now worth 109 an
advance of $4l7,2l3 On behalf of the State it
was argued that the Governor and Council had
an undoubted right to reject any and all bids;
that they rejected all, including MT. Fields, and
sold at private sale. Therefore Mr. Field had
no legal claim to the bonds and standing be-
fore the committee. If he had a private griev-
the courts were open to him. The matter
will be given further hearing tomorrow.
