which Is going on by night and day. Never
theless railroad tracks come in here, which
is the terminal point for a score OF great

first taking them to the city in case they do
not care to 60 there.
Nothing Of consequence remains to be
done to the exterior OF the Electrical, Mines

finished long ago. and nothing now remains
but the interior decorations. In the Horti.
cultural building thousands OF rare and
costly plants, trees, shrubs and flowers from
all parts Of the world have been stored,
ready for putting in place.

devoted to all sorts OF uses, some'of which
have been begun; others are on the way,
while the foundations for some Of them have
not yet been laid. In all 125 buildings
will be erected on the grounds, more than

A Frightful Railway Accident
in Yorkshire, England.
Half a Score of Passengers Perish
and Thirty Injured.

An appalling railway accident occurred
early few mornings ago near Thirsk, In
Yorkshire, England. The number OF killed
on the day after the accident was placed af
from nine to thirteen. About eleven per.
sons were injured.
The express train which leaves Edin-
burgh every evening for London was
running at full speed as 1t approached
Thirsk, when ahead Of it appeared heav-
lily laden goods train. The engineer or tho
express train reversed the engine and put on
the brakes, but the moment um OF tho heavy
express was too great, and 1t dashed into
the goods train, making terrible wreck.
To add to the horror the carriages caught
fire and were destroyed. A large number
the scene and did everything possible TO
extricate the dead and injured. ,
Those who managed 70 extricate them
selves uninjured hastsned to assist others
who were yet alive and caught In the wreck.
It was difficult work, owing to the way In
which the carriages were crushed to-
gether, and the trouble in opening COM
partment doors that were fastened
after the usual British fashion.
Mem and women could be heard shrieking
for assistance. One man who was slowly
burning 10 u6dCu, duu WIZ CUUl0 0Ot S0t
out; begged the rescuers to kill him.
Besides thirty were injured, twelve OF
them seriously. Z:
The fireman Of the train was killed, but
the engineer, who jumped at the instant OF
the collision, escaped. with q broken leg.
The Marquis Of Tweeddale and the Mar
quis Of Huntly. the latter a lordin-waiting
to Queen Victoria, were on board the train.
The Marquis Of Tweeddale escaped unin.
jured, and in spite Of his age did active
service In assisting to rescue others. The
Marquis Of Huntly was bruised and had .
thumb broken, but suffered no other injury.
Captain Duncan Mcleod OF the I'D High.
landers, Is among the killed.
Trains were sent to the scene to clear the
wreck and carry away the wounded and
dead.
It has been ascertaiued that the signal
man at the siding was asleep ut the time,
which may account for the accident. Tho
Rev. John Forsythe, Chaplain OF the
Caledonian Asylum, was badly injured IN
the wreck.
The Pullman carriage was thrown of the
rails and shattered, but the occupants e.
caped death. The fourteen ordinary car
riages were thrown backward in one con-
fused heap. 81

done. 1t has fine, large dome, which Is
one Of the most conspicuous objects within

immense building. but no progress further
than the framework has yet been made.
Enough has been done, however, to show
that the Golden State will be we'll repre-

WRECK OF A STEAMSHIP.
The Roumania Driven Ashore and
11S People Drowned.


The Anchor line steamship Roumanfa.
Captain Young, went ashore early in the
morning at the mouth Of the Arnoya, near
Peniche, Portugal, and 113 of the 122 pas
sengerson board were lost.
The Roumania left Liverpool four days
before for Bombay, India. She carried
flfty-flve passengers, crew Of sixty y-seven
men and full cargo Of merchandise.
She experienced heavy weather. On the
third day she ran into furious storm: all
her passengers were ordered below and were
not allowed on deck.
The Roumania ran into Tick fog IN
about forty-two degrees north latitude.
She proceeded at half speed. and it was sup
posed was well out from the coast. A
violent storm came on after several hours
in the fog.
When the storm struck her the Rounanla
was but few miles from shore. Tns ship
made little progress and the captain was
unable to keep her bow to the wind. She
went on the rocks almost without warning,
for up to the last few minutes the ships
officers did not realizs their peril.
Heavy seas broke over the ships decks,
and many Of the passengers who ran on
deck in a panic were swept overheard and
drowned.
