The Frightfui Railway Disaster sass ousssds
Her Gaie--

PARrs. July 2s.-The terrible excursion train
collision at ST. Msnde, near this city. is the
feature Of popular interest here today, dwarf
ing even the courtesies being extended 10 the
French fleet At Cronstadt aud eclipsing the
nightmare to Frenehmen generally known -
the dreibund.
The newspapers Of this city and the prov
inces are tllea with narrowing details OF the
disaster by which over fifty people lost their
lives and by which over 100 Others were mere
or iess seriously wounded. such gh@sty rsil-
road accidents as thls one are not everyday oc-
currenees here aud w-re populsrly supposed TO
be confined 10 The United States.
In fact on more than one occasion when the
details OF some more than usually horrible rall-
road disaster IN America, where the fatal rail-
road stove set FIRE 60 the wreck and caured
the roasting to death Of numbers Of wounded
people VINO might otherwise have ESCAPED
from the disaster. have been received
the English and continental newspapers have
consoled themselves with the reflection that no
such calamity was possible. or. 10 sAy the lesst,
probable on European railroads. from the fact
THAI their cars We're only heated by hot water
loot stools and, consequently. were safe from
desth-dealing oonflagrstions after collision.
The st. Msnde accident shows that these
newspapers congratulated themselves a little
too soon. Interest an the 81 MGnde horror 10
greatly increased by the fact that up 10 the
present the official inquiry made has failed TO
establish clearly the real cause OF the collision
which is attributed ln turn 90 revenge mall
ice, carelersneSs and Incompetence, according
20 the revelations al the honr. To the Outside
observer the accident would seetu 20 be due TO
very great extent to caroll ssn,-S- bough other
motives may have entered into the disaster. In
any case. the action of the fircmen IN drowning
the roasted and wounded people who were ina-
prisoned beneath the wreck is most severely
condemned.
Seven additional people. victims Of tie col
lision. died last night. making a total of fifty
dead accounted for. but the terribly consumed
state OF some of the remains found makes ID
probable that in some cases the heaps OF cin-
ders collected may be shOse of two people
which have been counted as one.
Inc municipal authorIues OF ~. Mande have
decided that the funeral OF the victims is 70
