troll OF the car, and 1t plunged at terrific
speed down the hill. 1t left the track
and went over on its side with tremen-
dous crash. The car was crowded, there
being 45 passengers aboard, among
whom were 20 young people who consti-
tuted the graduating class of the
Williams-avenue grammar school. The

short time all the injured had been re-
moved from the wreck and taken to the
hospital.
H. Blaisdell and H. E. Doty, motor
man and conductor, respectively, we're
arrested. Blaisdell said in an interview:
81 did all in my power to check the
momentum of the car, but the brakes
would not hold. The incline ON McMil-
Ian street is very steep, and at this point
we are very cautious. 1 did all could,
but found l could not stop the car.
When we struck the curve going into
Larnbee street we were going at pretty
good rate of speed. l was afraid we
would 20 over but stood by my brake
until the car turned on its side; then l
went into the car to help release the
passengers"
Police Officer Dawson, who WAS on the
front platform when the accident oc-
Cured, Gays: Il am satisfied that the
motorman in this case ie entirely blame
less for the accident. He had his brake
on as hard as it could be, but he could
not control his car"

IN BLIssFUL IGNORANCE.
Ferdinand de Lesseps Mercifully Spare
knowledge OF His Conviction.

Ferdinand de Lesseps MercifuIly Spared
knowledge of His Conviction.
PARIS, Feb. 15.-Charles de Lesseps
remained all yesterday with his father,
Ferdinand, at LIE Chesnaye. The aged
De Lssseps recognized and embraced his
son, ignorant OF the judgment that had
doomed them both to imprisonment.
Charles managed to restrain his tears,
and assumed cheerful aspect in order
that his father might not suspect the
truth. Charles introduced the detec-
tives whose prisoner he was as friends
that had accompanied him from Paris,
and Ferdinand received them in as
much of his old debonsire fashion as his
decrepit condition and weakened facul-
ties would permit. They all chatted to-
gether, and when dinner time came,
Ferdinand invited the visitors to dine, a
privilege of which they would have
availed themselves whether invited or
not.
Ferdinand's mind still fingered on
the possibilities of the Panama canal,
and now and then he spoke optimisti-
cally about the revival of the enterprise
and the eventful union, under French
dubplCons vi tuo WdbST6 VI tuo hbidutlC
and the Pacific. Charles listened mutely
to bis fathers utterances on the SUBJ
ject, his remarks being of an erratic
character which indicated that the in
tellect of the veteran diplomatist and
engineer had lost its ancient strength.
When evening came Ferdinand again
embraced his son and expressed the
hope that he would soon see him again.
Then the detectives, who had never
once left Charles entirely alone, escorted
him back to Paris, and he was lodged
again in the conciergerie at O'Clock in
the morning.
Henry Cottu, one of the Panama de-
fendants under sentence, is in London
and will 60 thence to Vienna, after
wards returning to Paris to meet the
penalty imposed upon him, provided
his appeal against the sentence is not
sustained

Burning Petroleum Scattered Over

BUDA PEsrH, Feb. '15.-During car
nival dance in Poreg, while over 100
people were dancing, child playing n
the basement dropped lighted taper
through the bunghole of can full of
petroleum. The child was killed by the
explosion, which also shattered the floor
above and scattered the burning petro-
leum among the dancers. A dozen per-
sons were soon enveloped in flames !;
they ran for the windows and doors,
creating the utmost panic. Ten persons
fell through the shattered floor to the
basement, and were burned to death.
Seven of those over whom the oil was
scattered, died shortly after reaching the
open air. Twelve others will probably
die, and many others are suffering from
painful burns and bruises.
