SEVEN MEN KILLED.


Terrible Result of u I,ailroad Collision in
Milwaukee. Tho Collision Due to Crimi-
nal Carelessness.
MILWAUKEE, Wis, March 1.-The
Watertown "locan train, due here at A
o'clock this afternoon, ran into and
demolished the rear end of train loaded
with employees Of the West Milwaukee
shops of the Chicago, Milwaukee & st.
Paul railroad, killing seven and injuring
several others. The trains were moving
In the same direction, the workmens
train having just left the main track on
short switch and strung itself out ON q
track parallel with the main line.
The switchman, Emil Bartel, failed to
turn the switch after the workmen's
train, and the local q moment after
passed on the short switch and in a
minute had telescoped the rear car. The
seven men killed were terrible mangled.
The engineer of the local reversed his
machine, but not soon enough to avert
the terrible disaster. The men killed
were mechanics living in the city. The
engine and baggage car of the local and
four cars of the workmen's train were
derailed but none of the locals passen-
gers were injured.
The bodies of seven mechanics en-
ployed in the car shops of the Chicago,
Milwaukee IS St. Paul road, at West
Milwaukee, are lying in the morgue,
mute witnesses TO the criminal carless-
ness of switchman. They had just
finished their days work in the shops OF
the company, and were returning to
their homes in this city on what is
known as the "workmen's train,''
together with about 175 or 200 others
who were crowded into the coaches.
The train is due at point near the
Union depot at 4.20 o'clock in the win.

local, passenger train run for the &C

The workmen's train was running. on 6
parallel track. When the "local'
reached Eighteenth street it ran upor
the switch of a short track connectins
the parallel tracks. The trains wer,
running side by side as the local sped il
on the little cross track.
Emil Bartel, switchman, had left tn,
switch open. The result was that tn,
local, running at the rate of IA miles al
hour, sped swiftly into the middle coacl

had crushed into the centre of the slowl,
moving train load of mechanics. TIL
J occupants of the coach had no warning
/ of the impending danger, and in an in
slant they were being ground between
the sides of the overturned car and tn
cinder-covered roadbed.
| The car was demolished and tw,
others overturned. A strange part of tn
accident is there was but one iniure,
and that one but slightly. The work o
recovering the bodies was begun a
once. Patrol wagons and ambulance
were soon at hand, and in halt an hou

GARlzA,s FORCES FLEEING.
A Remnant of His Band Discovered in
the PotrilIo Mountains,

DEMNrNe, N. NJ, Feb. 29.-An official
from the Mormon colony Of Diaz in
Mexico, who has just arrived, brings
startlina news to TIE Mexican consul
here, synor Pasalque. 1t is to the
effect that within the past few days a
body of over so men, all well EARNED and
mounted, had suddenly appeared in the
potrillo mountains, near Diaz. From
whence they came no one knows. The
supposition entertained by the Mexican
officials Is that they are portion of the
Cara forces, fleeing from pursuit in
the loFer Rio Grande districts. The
band has encamped in the moul tains,
which are comparatively inaccessible.
The foraging has so far been done only
on few ranches in the near vicinity.
Detaichments Of mounted troops have
been sent out from Ascension for the
purpose Of capturing them As yet they
have not been able to get near 10 the
party, owing to the rough character Of
the mountains.

VIENNA, Feb. 29.-As before stated in

in this city among the poor, and the
charitable have incessant demands made
upon them to assist families who are on
the verge Of starvation.
1t was announced yesterday that
about 10000 skilled mechanics and
$500 unskilled laborers were out of en-.
ployment. This was an erroneous state
mont, as the number of unemployed is
much greater than stated in yesterdays
dispatches, for the number of unskilled
laborers who find it impossible to pro-
cure work is $4,000 instead Of 1900.

prominence to this announcement, which
it declares is "officiap and can be relied
upon: THE leaders of the anti-Harrison
movement have adopted a plan of action.
Neither Mr.. Platt nor Mr.. Clarkson sue
cecded in getting definite acquiescence or
refusal from Mr.. Blaine; he simply declined
to discuss the subject. The leaders, there
fore. have decided to press his nomination.
They will not consider his recent letter or
any thing that he may say OF write between
now and June as positive refusal to &C
cept the nomination. They will spare no
effort to nominate him as soon as possible
after the convention meets; then. If they
succeed they will adjourn the convention
for one day before naming candidate for
vice-president. They firmly believe that
under these circumstances Mr.. Blaine will
deem it his duty to accept: Ifnot. no harm
will have been done. That. In nut
shell. is the plan agreed upon. The
biggest and coldest member OF the combi-
nation says il will be adhered to regardless
of anything MIR. Blaine OF any body else
may say or do. This is official"
IntimatIons of this scheme have been
made in certain quarters here several times
during the past week. but no one would
believe that it could possibly be agreed
upon. No one appeared to regard 1t pos
sible that such an effort to trlfie with q

party treason. Will the Republicans OF
the country permit much less be party to

of the party, and its announcement from
