CITY OF MEXICO, March 4.-The rail-
way accident is far worse than first re-
ports indicated. At least ITO bodies have
been recovered from the wreck. and many
still remain embedded in the debris.
Many bruised and wounded passengers
continue to arrive in this city from the
wreck. Many of the wounded and bleed
ing were brought into the city on the re-
lief tain, but hundreds of those able to
walk made the attempt to reach shelter
in the surrounding villages and strung
out on the way to this city in pitiab!e
procession. Many fell by the wayside
and were afterwards picked up more dead
than alive by other relief trains, which
followed at intervals. Hundreds are still
camped at the scene, sitting around small
fires kindled from the wreckagc-

Bleeding pilgrims are campel ut places

Los Reyes. Lacomania and Ayotia. just
what the mortality Is it is impossible as
yet to say. 1t is exceedingly probable
that within the next few days moro bodies
will be found in secluded spots in the
vicinity of the wreck. Many thinking
they were strong enough to walk the
twenty-five miles into the city made the
attempt Overcome by weakness they
sank down by the dozen, and a few have
been found dead where they fell. The
military hospital here still echoes with
the groans of the dying and the delirious
muttcrings of many unfortunatcs.
The Engineer Held Responsible.
The Universal, newspaper, makes ser1-
Gus charges against Nuffer, the American
engineer, who is held by many to be re.
sponsible for the accident. Nuffer is now
in prison and will probably receive a long
sentence unless later developments throw
different light on the affair and materi-
ally change public sentiment. Numerous
suits for damages are being prepared
against the railroad company by the rela'
tives of those killed and injured in the
wreck. The petitions are being filed be.

first department of the district court, who
is busily engaged with his court force in

WILDE SUES A MARQUIS.
Wants 0ueensberry Put In jail for Libel Of
aGr0ss Character.

LONDON, March 4. Tho Marquis of
Oueensberry was remanded on bail at the
Marlborough street police court charged
with libeling Oscar Wilde. It appears
that the marquis left with n porter at the
ALTERNATE club a card upon which was
written an offensive remark referring to
Oscar Wilde. The remark was grossly
indecent, and Wilde stated that it was
not the first time the marquis had done
such things; in fact Wilde and his family
had been the objects of the most cruel
persecution at Queensberry's hands for
nearly year and he proposed to lay the
whole case before the trial court.
Queensbery was arrested, and when he
came into court his lawyer said he would
plead entire Justification. When the
the words on the card were read one of
them was illegible and the marquis coolly
stated what it was. He wanted to be re.
leased on his own reoOgnizance. but the
magistrate insisted ON a surety in 81. 800.

Osburn, Idaho Feb. 25.-There is evil
dence of improvement in the Occur
d'Alenes, and merchants say that sales
are larger now than at this time last
year. hopeful feeling pervades the
camp. In the gold belt especially is the
Improvement noticeable. Several prop
critics will be heavy producers this year
that were almost unheard of year ago.
The Daddy mine at Murray is prov
Ing bonanza. and gives employment
to nearly 40 men. In this vicinity is the
old reliable Golden Chest, richer than
ever before and now getting ready to
double the capacity Of its mill. Super
intendent H. c. Gregg is having 200, DOC
feet of lumber sawed at Copeland's mill
and building operations will begin dur
Ing March. Besides the bullion turned
out al the Chest, several teams are kept
busy hauling ore and concentrates to
the railroad at Wallace and Osburn
Marins II. Randall Of st. Paul Is ex-
porting the old idaho across the gulch
from the Mother lode and there is a
chance that this mine, too, will be a
producer this year. Much money has
been spent developing the Idaho, but
the ore thus far found has been of
rather low grade and could not be
proftably worked. Mr.. Randall, how
ever. says 1t can be operated.
Frank jenkins has made a splendid
showing on the property near Delta
bonded by him last fall and upon which
he has had a force of men at work all
winter. He Will erect a mill. Gordon &
Coulson are now putting in a mill for
the purpose of saving out his bill of
lumber as well as manufacturing lum-
Der for hydraulic miners in the vicinity
of Delta. Much work will be done on
new ground around Myrtle and Delta
this year and prosperous time will be
experienced by those towns
At Carbon, the little camp at the foot
of Sunset mountain, W. c. Hill and a
Minneapolis syndicate are having pat
ented several hundred acres of placer
claims as well as several good quartz
claims. A number of men are work
ing on various claims, of which there
are many rich ones. in the vicinity of
Carbon; in fact, development work has
been done on more claims around Sun
set peak this winter than in many years
past.
There has been one new strike re-
ported in the South Fork silver-lead
district so far this year. 1t is by James
Brady and partner on claim near
Burke. So rich was the strike In fact
that the owners had no trouble in bond
ing the claim for 100000.
