HURLED TO DEATH.
MANY KILLED AND WOUNDED
IN MEXICO.
In the Inter Oceanic Railway Acct
dent-NO Americans Were ON
the Tr;un

City of Mexico, March lit is now
known that two hundred people We're
killed and injured in the Inter Oceanic
railroad wreck. 1t is impossible as YET
to say how many of this number are
dead; as the wreck has not yet been
cleared away reports are conflicting.
1t is feared, however, that one hur-
dred are dead. The train was an ex-
cursion train carrying nearly twelve
hundred paSSel gers, returning from
the pilgrimage annually made to the
Sacre Monte shrine.
Near Piedra Blanca there is a sharp
curve and at this point, for some rea-
son not yet definitely know, five
coaches jumped the track and went
down the side of the mountain. Three
coaches We're smashed completely into
kindling wood.
A relief train was Immediately Sent
out with surgeons and a wrecking
force and the work of raScuing the
wounded and taking out the dead is
progressing rapidly. President Diaz
has ordered the military hospital with
its staff to care for all the survivors
Gen. ID. Arme says that The saw four
teen dead bodies taken from the
coaches. These bodies were mangled
most shockingly, some of them in
fragments, and the limbs, heads and
bodies We're mixed up In such man
ner as to make Identification almost
impossible.
The scene about THE wreck was SICK
ening as well as sorrowful; relatives
searching for the missing members of
their families; women and children
who had lost their husbands and
fathers crying and acting in a heart
rending manner. This is the most Sc
rious wreck i'm Mexico since 1881,
when train load of soldiers went
through a bridge; four hundred men
being killed. The most careful In
quiries Indicate that there were no
Americans on the train; the passen
gers, so far as can be learned, Ill be-
ing natives.
A later account states that one hun
dred and four dead and eighty-hve
wounded were taken out of the wreck.
Many of the dead never will be identi-
fed. some Of them being so horribly
mangled that it IS almost impossible
to recognize them as human beings.
SO far as can he learned the accident
was due to the negligence of the engi-
neer.

fendents in, the impaneling of ju1fes.
The senate took up the special order
on the Baxter bin to regulate interest
money loaned to- school districts from
the school TRUST fund at four per
cent. and to refund all interest col
lected at over that per cent. Dem
ocrats declared the loamng the past
four years had been done on business
principles -that THE administration had
got as high rate of interest on loans
to school districts as possible. The
republicans insisted that no more than
four per cent. should have been
charged and that usurorls conduct had
been practiced toward the school dis
tricts. The bill was finally ordered to
a third reading by party vote.

requiring district schools to run eight
months a year instead of six as now;
