Western paper. Roads are actually being coll

tracted. The moasses is used as cement. the
body of the road material being made up of

remedied this and made the road as smooth as

DETAILS OF THE DISASTER.
Railway Horror In MexicO-Bodies Of
the Dead Awaiting Oiiicial Inves-
tigatiOn-Many Of the Wound
ed Can Not Live.

City of Mexico, Mch. 2.-Ths Mexican
government has commenced a rigid ex-
animation of the train men and officials
of the Interoceanic railroad to fix the
culpability for the recent terrible railway
disaster. The engineer was John Neuffer
and the conductor was j. H. Steele, both
Americans.
The Jefe Politico, of Tanango with some
mounted rifles had the dead bodies laid
out on the bank for Identification on ar
rival of the relief train, and refused to
permit them to be brought to the city,
awaiting a complete official examination
at the scene of the wreck. The bodies
were still lying there at noon yesterday,
when the regular train went by after the
wreck was cleared away.
Most of the dead will to-day be buried
in great trench being dug along side Of
the track. So far as ascertained all the
killed and wounded were of the lower
class. The locomotive engineer disap-
peared but was afterward captured at
Chalce. He as we'll as the conductor and
other train men are held as prisoners
pending official Investigation. numbe
of the wounded can not possibly live.
Conductor Steele made a declaration be-
fore the Judge and was allowed his liber-
ty on his own recognizance. Officials of
the road say that the wreck was caused
by the trucks of the tender slipping out
of place. The first coach on striking
them Immediately left the track and was
telescoped by the second coach, the re-
naming coach piling on top.
q. o. Moran, grandson of Foreign Min
lister Mariscal, died here yesterday from
injuries received in the wreck.

A Notable Slugging Match in the
Athens Of America Last Night.

Boston, Mob. 2.--The Athens of Ameri-
ca, the home of the late world renowned
champion slugger, John L. Sullivan, has
once more covered herself with glory.
The slugging match in this city last night
between Walcott and Smith was such a
dazzling success in the way of tierceness
and brutality that the 5000 spectators
went to their respective homes happy and
satisfied. Fifteen terrific rounds we're
fought and many hard blows we're landed
by the combatants. Both were repeat
edly downed; both were badly punished.
The decision was draw. Walcott un-
questionably had the best of the fight
and would have gained the decision but
for the fact that it was limited round
contest. At the end of the second round
it was good betting at six to ten that
Walcott would get the decision at the end
of the sixth round or earlier, but Smith
took wonderful brace and succeeded in
keeping his feet and responding to the
call of time until the end. It was a
slugging match from the very start and
at times there was danger that the police
would stop the contest, but, owing to the
presence Of blue coats, the referee kept
the men we'll In hand and made the mix
ups of short duration. Both men were
in excellent condition and finish was
what the crowd looked for.
