! is suffering from such a severe sChock that
1t was impossible to learn anything from
him tonight.
President Radel stated that 1t was i'm
possible for him to account for the acct
dent. Immediately after his arrival at the
scene he made a thorough inspection of
the tracks on the trestle and he could see
nothing wrong and the cars were running
over the trestle soon afterwards. He de-
ncd that the cars were being run at a
high rate of speed and claimed that every
possible prccaution had been taken to pro-
vent such an occurrence. Seven inapCC-
tors were put on to watch the running of
the cars and a time allowance Of half an
hour was allowed and extra cars put on
to provide for this.
one theory advanced Is that faulty con-
struction was responsible for the accident.
At the point where the cars leave the road
for the trestle it is alleged that the rails
had sunk a little and though the forward
trucks took the rails all right the rear
trucks did not connect and jumped the
track which caused the forward trucks
to also leave tho iron. II is believed that
if proper guard rails had been placed on
the trestle the car would have been pre-
vented from toppNg over.

FRENCH SPOKEN IN IRISH.

Justin McCarthy's two volumes Of
"Reminiscences abound I'm good stories

the best of them concerns visit which
Prince Napoleon made to Mr.. McCarthy's
native CITY, Cork, on the pleasant waters
of the river Lee
When Prince Napoleon put into the port
of Cork the city was presided over by a
chief magistrate who was especially proud
Of his knowledge Of French, Indeed. it
was said that this respectable mayor had
way of depressing his less highly cul-
tured fellow-tcwnsmen by an anxiety to
parade his mastery of the French of Paris
The mayor suggested that a public recep-
ton should be given to Prince Napoleon,
in order to testify the sympathy which
true lrishmen ought TO have with the peO-
pie OF France and the house of Bonaparte
The proposal was eagerly adopted, and
the mayor, a was to be expected. under
took TO deliver the address. The cerc-
mony was duly arranged, and Prince Ma
poleOn appeared at the right time Then
his worship the mayor stepped forW I'd
and delivered a long aSd eloquent address,
spoken without the help of any manu-
script, in what the bystanders assumed
to be the native tongue Of the illustrious
visitor Prince Napoleon listened with
what Hans Breitman calls "a beautiful,
solemn smile" on his face, and when the
address was over he delivered his reply in
the most correct and fluent English. In
his opening sentences he thanked the
meeting for the generous reception given
to him, and the mayor of Cork for the
speech to which he had just listened. He
felt sure he said. that that speech OK
pressed the most kindly and generous sem
timents of welcome; but he added his
deep regret that, as he never had had any
opportunity of studying the nob.e Irish
language, he was not able to follow the
words of the worthy chief magistrate.
From that day the citizens Of Cork were
no longer oppressed by the mayors u.s.
sumption of superiority as master of the
French language.
