San Antonio, Tex. Dec. 4.-Edward
Rische of this city has just arrived
with details Of terrible wreck of two
trains on the Mexican Central railway
last, Thursday by which more than a
score of persons were killed and sixty
injured, many Of them fatally. Both
trains were running thirty miles an
hour when they met in a valley be-
tween two great hills fifty miles south
of Jumilico, midway between the towns
of Tamanacha and Symon. One train
carried a construction crew of $50 men
and the other was a freight made up
of ffty-five empty cars. Three engines
and forty cars were piled up in mass
of debris thirty feet high, in which the
dead and wounded were buried.
Two of the train employees are Ameri-
cans and they saved their lives by i'm
mediate fight, as in Mexico employees
of a train must suffer death If fatali-
ties attach to a train wreck. The sur
vivors attempted to lynch the Ameri-
cans, but they escaped over the hill
and are supposed to have reached
United States territory, where they are
safe. Mr.. Rische can give but scant
details of the wreck, which is said to
be the worst in the history of Mexico.
He left the scene before the names OF
the killed and injured had been OBJ
tained.

FIVE WE'RE KILLED
rAL BOILER EXPLOSION
CHICAGO.
Fatal
Besides Those Killed several Were
Severely Injured, some So Badly
That They May Die-Boiler Let's
Go without Any Warnins-Whut
Caused the Explosion II Not
ACCOMPLISHMENTS Train struck
by Flying Boiler and Several Pas
senEers Injured.

Chicago, Dec. 5.--Five railway em-
ployes were instantly killed and twelve
people injured by the explosion of a
boiler in the power house of the Chi
cago & Northwestern road. Several of
the. injule ed are hurt so badly that
they may die. The house was two
story structure which stood west Of
the passenger station and north of the
tracks leading into it. On the first
floor was the boiler room containing a
battery of four boilers and dynamo
room which held nine dynamos.
Twelve men were employed around the
building and in addition to such Of
these as were present at the time a
number of strangers were, standing
around watching the dynamos.
It is not known what caused the ex-
plosion as everything in the boiler
room seemed in excellent condition, ac-
cording to the uninjured men who
worked in the place. At few minutes
past 5 o'clock one of the boilers in the
center OF the row Of four burst with a
detonation that was plainly heard at
points mile distant. The end of the
boiler nearest the tracks was the
Weak Part of the Structure
and it flew toward the depot tracks
and landed fully seventy feet away
from Its starting point. The boiler it.
self, which weighed ten tons, lies now
sixty feet from the boiler house. Just
as the explosion occurred the Ashland
limited. train was pulling out of the
station. The greater part of the train
had passed, and although the cars
were all heavily battered with falling
bricks and debris, none of them was
badly damaged and the passengers
within them escaped unhurt. The last
two cars a Pullman sleeper and 2
drawing room car, were not SO fortu-
nate and. the boiler head and the boiler
itself, caught them. The boiler struck
the car in the rear, while the boiler
head plowed through the one imme-
diately in front. Fortunately both flew
high and struck the cars above the
windows carrying away portions OF
the roof and vestibule. But few of tho
passengers happened at the time to be
in the ends of the two cars hit by the
flying metal and such of them as were
hurt were struck by flying splinters OF
suffered from being thrown violently
to the floor. On the train were Mr.
and Mrs. August Beck of Milwaukee
and Mr.. and Mrs., William Becker OF
Sheboygan, Wis. Both couples were
returning from their bridal tour and
all four were injured. Mrs. Beck was
dashed against seat in the car and
sustained internal injuries which may
prove fatal.

Madison. Wis, Dec. 4.-The historic
Blue Mounds, twenty miles west Of

has been sold by Milwaukee capitalists
to Keeven Bros. and Samuel Martin of
Mount Horeb, who will cut thousands
of cords from the wooded slopes and
turn them into pastures. The tract
covers over 500 acres. The Mound

A Lucky Conductor.

According to Rome correspondent
Of the LYondon Express, conductor
on the enetiaVn electric railroad named
Nicol Cicchino has just had great
stroke Of luck.
In July, 1898. he found. in the Via
San Lorenzo draft for $50,500, on the
Marseilles Land Bank, payable to bear
er in gold. It was signed "Attanasio."
Cicchino deposited the check with the
authorities. awaiting the appearance
Of the owner to claim his legal 10 per
cent.
The owner, however, has never ap-
peared, and few weeks since Nicola
received an official notification that the
certificate, having never been claimed,
was now, by law, his property.
