OVER 100 LIVES LOST.
The Details of Mexico's T Terrible
 Railroad Accident.
CRASHED DOWN INTO A RAvINE.

Engineer Lost Control of the Train While
 Coming Down Mountain side-Three
 Coaches Followed the Engine Over the
 Edge of the Precipice.
 CITY OF MEXICO. March 2.-One of the most frightful accidents in the history of the Mexican railroads. resulting in the killing of lO4 persons and the serious if not fatal injury of nearly 100 others, oc- cured on the Interoceanic railroad at a point about 25 miles from this ciEy.
 A few days ago a great number of per sons left the capital to go on n pilgrimage tc the Catholic shrine at Sacre Monte Tickets for the pilgrimage were sold at re- duced rates over the Intercccanic line, and this road carried the bulk of the pill grims. Thursday long train. aboard of which there were 1,200 passengers, was re surning from the place of pilgrimage.
 All went well until point on the line midway between Temamtla and Tenango was reached, where there is a steep in- cline, the line at one place having a sharp curve where it runs close to the edge of a high precipice. This is one of the most dangerous places on the road and was ren- 6ered more so by the fact that the line here was not in the best condition.

Lost Control of the Train.


 cline many of the passengers were laugh ing and joking, while others were looking out of the windows at the rapidly passing scenery. which at this point Is grand. Soon the speed of the train began to in- crease, and soon 1t was running at Q frightful rate
 The passengers ceased their laughing and joking and looked at each other with a strange fear depicted in their faces. Steadily the momentum of the train, which was now swaying and bounding fearfully, increased, and soon the danger ous high curve was struck.
 As the pilot wheels of the engine took the curve the locomotive swayed outward and then back. As tho drivers went on the curve the engine again swayed heavily and then either jumped the track or turn ed a rail. It dashed across the scanty space between tho rails and the edge of the chasm and then plunged downward.
 One after another three coaches filled with passengers dashed after it and piled up mass of wreckage at the foot of the precipice. The next two coaches also jumped the track, but most fortunately did not go over the edge of the precipice
 As the fifth coach left the metals it twisted and broke the coupling connecting it with the coaches behind 1t. These coaches kept tho rails and passed safely around tho curve. After running a con siderable distance they were stopped by the hand brakes.
 When the engine and the three coaches fell to the bottom of the ravine, there was a fearful crash. aud mingled with it were the shrieks of the affrightcd passengers, which could easily be heard above the shrieking of the escaping steam of the en- zine, which was knocked to pieces by the fall.
Waterbury evening Democrat., 1895-03-02


 coaches at the edge of the precipice got out of them us quickly as possible, and many of them fell on their knees and offered thanks for their escape from a most awful death.
 In the meantime number of the pas sengers in the other coaches had returned to the scene of the wreck and devoted themselves to the rescue of those imprison- cd in the wreckage at the fCot of the pre- eipice. The sight here was n most grew some ono. The carriages were shattered, and majority Of the occupants were ly- ing horribly manglcd beneath the wreck age. The shrieks and means of the in jured were heartrending, while many of the unhurt women and children moaned and walled in an agony of terror.
 Here and there among the debris could be seen an upturned face-the eyes fixed in the glassy stare of death and the fea- lures distorted with unknown fear. Again. what had been face could be seen crushed out of all semblance to hu- manity. Here was an arm, there a leg that had been severed from a trunk lying perhaps 50 feet away. The sight was one that will never be forgotten by those who witnessed it.
 The train hands were Americans, and some of them as soon as possible telegraph ed the news of the disaster to this city. | The intelligence qp kly spread and caused | the greatest const Ntion among the in habitants, many of W. om had relatives or l friends on the train.
 The railroad officials displayed the most ] commendablc activity, and special relief train. with surgeons, an ambulance, med 1 iciDes, bandages, etc. was promptly dis patched to the scene. When the train ar rived there, everything possible was done 1 to alleviate tho sufferings of the injured, some of whom were in such agony that | they prayed for death to relieve them from their tortures. Aided by some of the men who were in the coaches that did not go I over, the railway employees and the relief | corps soon cleared away the wreckage suffi- \ ciently to allow of the extrication of the

One Hundred and Four Dead.

One hundred and four dead and s5 wounded wero taken out of the wreck. Tho injured who could stand being nov ed were brought on to the City of Mex leo on the special train and taken to the Military hospital, which was thrown open to the sufferers by orders from President Diaz. The whole staff of tho hospital busied themselves in attending to the in- jured, who were made as comfortable as the circumstances would permit.
 Many of tho dead will never be identi- fled, some of them being so horribly man. gled that it is almost impossible to recog nize the remains as those of human beings.
 So far as can be learned the accident was due to the negligence of the engineer. It Is stated that when the train entered on the incline he made no attempt to check its speed by the use of the airbrRkeS. Had these brakes failed to work, the mo- mentum could have been checked with the hand brakes, but persons on the train state that they heard no whistle for the ap- plication of the hand brakes.
 The engineer and fireman are believed to be under the wreck of the engine and tender. and why the train was allowed to run practically wild on one of the most dangerous sections of the road will prob ably never be known.
 As is the case in Mexico whenever .
 railroad accident occurs, the feeling is very bitter against the railroad company and the train hands. All the latter who
 survived will be held to strict accounta- bility under the Mexican law, although. | e a matter of fact, they were in no way r Responsible for the disaster.
 The most terrible Mexican railroad 10 I eident was the ono that occurred on tht night of June 24, 1881. when a train or | tho San Morclos railway was precipitated | by the fall of bridge into the river neal | Cuartla. About goo lives were lost in thil | disasfer

HARSH TREATMENT,
Young CsmpbeIl Subjected to Severe
y age by Conductor.

Young Campbell Subjected to Severe
age by . Conductor.
Alexander Campbell, a young man
who came In over the Great Northern
on Tuesday night. will probably loose
both legs as the result OF the stupidity
or conductor on the Great Falls q
Canada. railway. Campbell Is a step
son Of j. I. Carson OF this city. He
left here few weeks ago for Portland
to visit relatives and attempt to secure
employment. He was unsuccessful in
his EFFORTS to secure work and started
to beat his way back to Butte. He got
as far as Shelby Junction. the junction
Of the Great Northern and Great Falls
q Canada. where he was taken sick.
After repeated requests the agent at
that point telegraphed to Butte in
forming his parents of his condition
and they Immediately telegraphed him
a first-class ticket from Shelby juno
ton to Butte. The conductor on the
Great Falls & Canada, who seems to
have been something of a cheap detec-
tive as well. could not reconcile Camp
bells rather shabby appearance with
his f1rst-class ticket and he put him on
the train nine miles north of Great
Falls. 1t was an intensely cold day
and Campbells clothes were thin and
worn and his condition was pitiable.
To lay down meant death and in his
enfeebled condition he was unable to
walk far. He was finally compelled to
crawl on his hands and knees and he
reached Great Falls in that manner
after terrible struggle. Although the
time limit on his ticket had expired
before he presented II for passage on
the Great Northern at Great Falls he
was carried through to Butte on II.
The young fellow is suffering the most
intense pain and is delirious most OF
the time. His legs were enormously
swollen and II is hardly probable that
they can be saved. His arms were also
badly frozen

ABOUT $4,000 SHORT.
Near That Amount Appears as De-
hnquent on the City Tax List

The Regular Revenue Last Month
Footed Up SAFE. So-EfficIent
Work OF the Treasurer and
His Able Assistants.

When City Treasurer Yoder finished
checking his books last evening he dis
covered that the amount OF city taxes
that was collected was considerably
above the estimate that he made Mon
day night, when the taxes became de-
linquert. The total amount paid in
was 157. 050.S7. out of an assessment OF
sl1S.T4S.5s. The latter amount. howev-
er, will be reduced by proba bly, $4,000
on account of assessments that were
wrongfully levied on property that is
outside Of the city and the actually de-
linquent taxes will amount TO less than
$4,000. The names of 800 people ap-
pear on the taxrolls and receipts were
issued to 1888 of them. Mr.. Yoder and
his assistants, j. A. Baker and Henry
Weir, handled the taxes in fine style
and, although the city treasurer's office
Is ridiculously small room. they dis
posed OF the taxpayers so rapidly that
the office was not crowded at any time.
III was impossible to keep the books up.
however, in the face of the rush. and
they were not checked up until last
night.
Mr.. Yoder expects to commence the
redemption OF warrants Monday, Dec.
1e. and he viii have about 1850 on
hand to start with. which amount II Is
thought viii be sufficient to cash all
warrants issued prior TO last May or
June. except some that were Issued on
special fund. There are $4,000 in war
rants outstanding on the public library
fund, and burt very few of them can
be paid, as. through some oversights.
there was no tax levy to provide for
them. There is about $4,000 in out
standing warrants against public i'm
provements in District No. 1, and only
5000 worth of them can be paid IL
the total tax levy comes in. All war
rants issued on the sprinkiing fund
Will be paid. as they are provided for
by special tax each year. II the city
was in possession of the $4,000 which
Is due from Simon Jacobs bondsmen.
Mr. Yoder says he would have money
enough to redeem nearly all warrants
issued up to last September.
Although the city treasurer was busy
with the taxes last month. he had
time enough to take in some other
money on the side. The city's regufar
revenue last month was $5.219.s0, which
was divided as follows:

LUCKY BOY.
Pete McBride's Time to Die Has Not Ar
rived Yet.


Peter Mcbride, a timberman at the
Anaconda. had an escape from death
yesterday that borders on the miracu-
lous. He came on top about IL o'clock
to get some timbers to send to the
LOO level. where he was working. The
timbers he wanted were 10x10 and IA
feet long and he stepped up to a big
pile of them and undertook to pull
down one of the top ones. He succeed
ed in dislodging 1t and was about TO
step back out of the way when IL or
Is of the heavy timbers also broke
loose and rolled over on him. The men
who witnessed the accident rushed to
the scene expecting to find a mass of
pulp under the timber. and they were
thrown to one side with all possible
speed. They could hardly believe their
eyes when they found Mcbride had
fallen in a crevice between two of the
timbers which had protected him from
the rest and he escaped with a few
bruises and abrasions of the skin. He
was removed at once to the Sisters
hospital and soon dropped off to sleep.
There were no broken bones and II was
not believed that he sustained any in
ternal injuries.
