ST. MANDE DISASTER
Three More Victims of the Terrible
Collision Die,
SWELLING THE TOTAL TO FIFTY.
Inquiry Fails 10 Bstablish the Real Cause Of the
Accident, Though Il is fhcaght to Have
Been Due 10 Carslessnsss-fhs Ac-
ton Of the Rrsmsn Condemned

PARIS, July es.-The terrible excur-
sion train collision at st. Mande near
this city, is the feature OF the popular
interest here to-day. The newspapers
OF this city and the provinces are filed
with narrowing details OF the disaster
by whicn over so people lost their
lives, and by which over 100 others were
more or less seriously wounded. Such
CHASTITY railroad accidents as this one
are not every day occurrences here and
were popularity supposed TO be confined
TO the United States. In fact on more
than one occasion, when the details OF
some more than usually horrible rail-
road disaster I'm America, where
the ''fatal railroad stove" set
fire to the wreck and caused
the roasting 10 death OF numbers OF
wounded people who might otherwise
have escaped from disaster have been
received, the English and continental
newspapers have consoled themselves
with the reflection that no such calamity
was possible or, TO say the least, prob
able on European railroads from the
fact that their cars were only heated
by hot water foot stools. and con-
seauently were safe from death dealing
confederation after collision. The ST.
Mande accident shows that these news
papers congratulated themselves little
| too soon.
Interest In the st. Mande horror is
greatly increased by the fact that up to
the present the official inquiry made
has failed TO establish clearly the real
cause OF the collision, which is attrib-
uted In turn to revenge, malice, caro-
lessness and incompetence, according
to the revelations OF the hour. To the
outside observer the accident would
seem to be due to q very great extent TO
carelessness, though other motives may
have entered into the disaster. In any
case the action OF the fremen In drown
ing the roasting and wounded people
who were imprisoned beneath the
wreck, is severely condemned.
Seven additional people, victims OF
the collision, died last night, making q
total OF so dead accounted for, but the
terribly consumed state OF some OF tho
remains found makes 1t probable that
In some cases the heaps OF collected re-
mains may be those OF the people which
have been counted as one. The assist
ant station master at Vincenncs, and
the driver OF the second engine, havo
been arrested on the charge OF having
contributed by carelessness TO tho
events which brought about tho col
| lision.

The famous man from Name has a double

years has been prominently identified with

Mr.. Young bears a striking resemblance TO

While waiting 10 board a train at New

" Scuse me, Mr. Secretary, but, as heard
you were in Elberon to-day won't you please
tell me how the President isi"

The man doubtlngly retired 20 a group

The professor hurried aboard, and as the
train moved away was greeted with a ring

Perhaps Prof. YoIng's most singular ex-

years ago, when Mr.. Blame was Secretary
Of State and living in Washington. He
