Heart Rending Scenes.
By the United Press.

City Of Mexico, March IA wreck
ing train arrived here early this morn
ing from the scene of yesterdays acci-
dent on the lnter-Oceanic railway. 1t
brought siXty-fve persons VINO had
been injured in the crash, and DR.. AL
fred Bray, DR.. Francis Crosson and
two other surgeons who were sent out
yesterday afternoon soon after the
news Of the disaster was received here.
Many persons were left dead near the
spot where the train left the rails 9TH
ers We're on the point of death, and of
those who Were brought back, ten or
twelve cannot possibly recover.
The crew of the wrecking train told
the first detailed story Of the accident.
The train consisted OF ten coaches. 1t
was chartered to pilgrims from Anne
cameca and the engineer was under or
ders to run carefully. 1t was filled with
pilgrims-many Of them women and
children-at the City station shortly be-
fore l o'clock and was started at 125.
1t proceeded slowly at first, but gradu-
ally the engineer began running at the
rate Of thirty miles an hour.
About twenty-eight miles from the
capital and midway between Toma-
malta and Tenango there is a steep
down grade. on one side of the track
the blasted rock forms a high wall: on
the other is a steep descent. At point
where the descent reaches down about
thirty feet the track makes a sharp
curve. The trains usually round it at
half speed. but for reason not yet as
certained, the engineer tried to take il
without slowing down. Either the rails
spread or the engine jumped the track.
The engine and tender broke loose from
the coaches and rolled down the en-
bankment. The coaches ran off about
fifty yards further on. The rear coaches
crashed down against the engine and
tender and the rest went to pieces at
the foot of the embankment near by.
The Work of Rescue.
Five coaches were smashed so as 70
be little more than piles of splintered
boards and beams and twisted iron
About twenty passengers were able to
eXtricate themselves without severe
injury. and they began rescuing those
who were pinioned under the wreck
Four women We're found with thelr
arms crushed and immovable under
beams and twisted axlcs. They lay
near the engine and were screaming
for fear of the flames.
After all efforts to clear them had
proved unavailing they We're torn loose
one of them lost her arm from the
shoulder. another her arm from the el.
bow. and each Of the other two having
both arms crushed and legs terribly
mutilatcd. Three of the four will die
Three children OF one family were
found dead together under an upset cal
| truck. Their mother lay nearby will
her skull crushed and one leg gone
The father escaped with only broker
shoulder, although he was on the same
seat with the children who were killed
Fragments of arms and legs were
strewn through the wreckage and sew
eral of the bodies We're so mutilated
that no attempt to identify them Will
be made.

4 ERENCH NOTT0N.

The idea of compulsory arbitration
 between labor and capital in this coun-
 try is no longer popular, and perhaps
 little Is expected from any scheme of
 voluntary arbitration. But they are
 trying voluntary arbitration in France
 and the plan and it's working are well
 worth the attention of those interested
 in social problems. The French law
 providing for "conciliation and arbitra-
 tion in conflicts between employers and
 workmen" provides that proceedings
 may be initiated by either party, or
 if the strike has begun one of the
 judges of the departmental courts may
 invite both parties to agree to enter into arbitration. The consent of both is essential. The process of arbitra- tion is as follows: The parties--em- ployers or workmen-file with the judge a written declaration setting forth the names, professions and domi- cile of the petitioners and of the per sons to whom the proposal for con or arbitration is to be ad- dressed; the subject matter of the con- dict with a detailed statement of the motives or reasons alleged by the re- spective parties, and the names, pro- fessions and domicile of the delegates chosen by the petitioners to assist or them. The number of dele 1 gates cannot exceed five and they must l be citizens of France. The judge there | upon causes notice to be served on the adverse parties. An answer to this | notification must be filed within three | days, failure to do so being taken as a refusal to submit the matter in con- The delegates from both par

ties to what is called "the committee of conciliation" are presided over by the judge, and if an agreement is reached 1t Is reduced to writing by him and signed by the delegates. If an agreement be not reached arbitrators are chosen on both sides, or when possible one arbitrator If the arbltrators fail to agree they declare so in writing which Is transmitted by the judge to the president of the civil court of the district, who shall nomi- nate a referee. The final decision is drawn up and signed by the arbitrator, a copy delivered by the judge to both parties, and another forwarded to the minister of commerce and agriculture. Tn the case of a strike where no ap- plication is made for arbitration the judge has the right and the duty to call upon the employees and workmen, or their representatives to make known to him within three days, the subject matter of the controversy, with de- tailed statement of the motives or reasons alleged, their acceptance or refusal of reconciliation or arbitration and the name. professions and domicile of the delegates chosen, if any. If the invitation of the judge is accepted, the proceedings will follow the regular course.
 It is said that this law works fairly well, although 1t is not applied in more than one-sixth of the whole number of strikes. It has at least the merit of offering a way to settle a strike if anybody concerned really wants to set tie it.

-------------------a--- -a---------------------s-----@ .AN .ELECTRIC ROY.

Tn these days of electrical wonders
 1t is not very surprising to read that new one has appeared. This time 1t is a boy, who if he keeps on may be able, when he Is man, to start an electric railroad system and furnish the power himself. This electric boy is only eight years old, and he lives in Guthrie, Oklahoma. His parents say that he has always been queer, and that whenever, as a child, he was lifted suddenly from the floor or a bed a cracking noise would be heard and
 slight shock or prickling sensation was felt by the person lifting him, somewhat similar to the shock received from small storage battery. The boy Is now old enough to take cognizance of his peculiar power and he takes great delight in shocking those who come near him. He can greatly increase the force of the shock by rubbing his feet on the carpet, and after dark the cleo trical discharge is So strong that sparks are emitted when he slides across the floor and touches a piece of metal. The force of the current seems to be greatly augmented for several days be- fore storm of any kind, and the fa- ther claims he can foretell any change in the weather by watching the boy. The little fellow often amuses himself by touching cats and dogs on the back, and immediately every hair on the animal will begin to rise. and it will turn and run, afterward keeping we'll out of his way.
 This is very interesting boy. There are many electric girls. He ought to marry one of them by and by. The offspring of the couple would be both wonderful and useful

THE LYNCHTNG RECORD.

The Chicago Tribune has for nine years been keeping a gloomy record, which includes the number of lynchings in this great, glorious, free and law abiding country. It has just published its record for last year, and we find that during that time one hundred and nine ty persons were put to death by lynch ing, and that three of them were wo- men. Here are the totals for previous years: 1885, 1S4; 1886, 13S; 1SS7 122; 1889, 142 1889, 176; 1890, 127; 1891, 192; 1892, 935; 1893, 200. Georgia had 20 lynchings last year; Alabama and Kentucky, l9 apiece; Mississippi, IS; Louisiana and Tennessee, 15 apiece; Texas, F; Arkan- sas, TO- Nobody was lynched in New England last year. The total for the northern States lying between the Hud- son and the Mississippi was [; for the northern States lying between the Mis- sissippi and the Pacific, 16; for the ter ritories, 1S-Indian Territory, g. Okla homa, Il. Of the 190 lynchings no less than 166 occurred down South; of the total number of victims 134 were ne- groes.
 It is very significant that the number of persons put to death in this country by due process of law was only 192, fifty-eight less than the number lyu:h- ed. These figures show that there IS a great lack of confidence in the law or a great disregard of it.

The Austrians seem determined to maintain their reputation for being the most merry and pleasure-loving nation in Europe. For their parliament has just rejected, with considerable show of indignation, a bill making drunken ness penal. The opponents of the measure found no difficulty in convinc- ing the house that the established habits of the people were such that 1t was im- possible to punish this failing, and that the feasts and family drinking bouts which have been customary among the population for over a thou sand years cannot be abolished by law.

Mrs. Henrietta M. King, of Corpus Christi, Texas, owns 1875 square miles of land in Texas, or about million and a quarter of acres. She inherited this vast domain from her husband, Rich ard King, who was born in that State in 1925. After living an adventurous life he bought what was then known as the Santa Gertrude's Ranch in Texas, and by shrewdness and ability became very wealthy. When he died, in 1885, all his property went to his wife, a daughter of the Rev. Hiram Chamber tain, who built the first Presbyterian church on the Rio Grande. Mrs. King is about sixty years of age, and is a woman of kindly instincts and admira- ble character. She lives very plainly and does not spend 8 tithe of her in- come. Her land alone is now worth s5 000. 900, and it will be worth much more when it is devoted to vitlculture, for which it is said to be well adapted.
