SAVANNAH THURSDAY, NOVEMBER 1901

Montpelier to the scene of the wreck.
A special train from Detroit carrying
thlrty-two physicians and surgeons
started for Seneca and was given the
right of way. When ii reached the
scene of the wreck the work was at
once commenced to relieve the wound
ed. A special from Adrian bearing all
the doctors and physicians in the city
mad been at work for an hour, but the
flames retarded the work of rescue. The
wounded had been placed on stretchers
IN the coaches sent from Adrian.
At 1O:45 o'clock the first train load
ca with wounded, left the scene Of
the wreck for Adrian. The dead were
left behind, to be carried in on a later
train.
When the special train bearing the
wounded reached Adrian, the injured
were carried in ambulances, drays and
delivery wagons to the hospitals until
they were filled, when private resi-
dences in the neighborhood were
placed in service.
Only One Name known.
Among the great list of dead, only
one name is known here at present.
This is Miss Dido Dentzed of Tupper-
vile, Ont. She was alive when res
euers reached her and with her ex-

A special to the Tribune from Ad-
rian gives the following Detroit per-
sons as among the injured:
George Sweeney, +. b. Richardson,
express messenger on No. 13. head cut
and bottl legs mangled; Mary Dolman.
injuries slight; H. B. Whitney, an On
tario railroad dispatcher, seriously in
jured.
The responsibility for the accident is
now laid on the crew of No. 4. 1t is
said that this train passed it's meeting
order with the regular west bound
train, No. 13. The trains were to have
met at Seneca, but No. ran by and
struck the west bound train a mile
east. At this hour, owing to imperfect
facilities for getting news, it does not
seem likely that a complete list of the
dead and injured, or any of the details
of the wreck will be at hand before to-
morrow morning. 1t is estimated that
upwards of 500 persons were on the
two trains.

ARGENTINA FOR ARBITRATION.
Her Delegates Make a Strong Dec
Iaration TO This Effect.

City of Mexico, Nov. 27.-At this
mornings session of the Pan-American
Congress the Argentine delegation pre-
sented a lengthy report showing what
the Argentine Republic had done with
a view to carrying out the reconnen-
dation of the first conference held In
Washington eleven years ago. The re-
port is a comprehensive review of the
resources of Argentine, the part which
attracted most attention being the
chapter dealing with arbitration. The
Argentine delegates declare themselves
in favor of comparative and compul-
sorry arbitration for all questions, pend
ing and future They make a veiled
allusion to South American contro-
versies when they say:
There are real difficulties menac-
ing, conflicts pending; questions in a
word. which refuse to be put out OF
sight and those questions, the second
n-American conference must con-
slider and solve in lofty spirit of JUS
tice under penalty of falling absolute
ly in one of the fundamental purposes
of its existence"
This declaration attracted great at
tention, inasmuch as Chill had stipu-
lated as a condition, sine qua non, for
participating in the conference that
the consideration of arbitration was
to be confined to future questions only.
and that her delegates would with
draw from the conference IL any at
f,oaHa IN rive different
turn to the discussion of that sub
ject.
The declaration of the Argentine del
egates was the more pointed in that
they affirmed that their country has
no wrongs to avenge. In fact. the
sympathy of the Argentines for Peru.
though not extensively shown. has
been very apparent since the opening
OF the conference.
The Congress received communica-
tions from the state department at
Washington returning thanks for the
resolutions OF coincidence on the death
OF President Mckinley and a message
ON behalf OF the international peace
bureau.

WORST WRECK YET
rMIGRANT TRAIN DESTROYED ON
THE WABASH ROAD.
CAUGHT LIKE RATS IN A TRAP.
SCORES OF BODIES CONSUMED Br
BLAZING WRECKAGE.

Total List of Dead May Never Be
Known-Six Coaches Crushed Into
shapeIesS Mass by Collision
with Regular Passenger, Which
was Also TeIescOped, and Four
Bodies Taken From It's Ruins.
Emigrants Numbered About 1GO
and Few Escaped Alive-Few
SPECTATORS Who Gathered Were

None From Eniigrant Train Es-
capped.
Detroit, Nov 27.-One of the most
disastrous wrecks in the history of the
Wabash Railroad, or any other Michi-
gan road, occurred at Seneca, Mich. a
small way station about seventy miles
southwest of Detroit. between 7 and
1880 o'clock tonight.
Train No. 13, an emigrant train, with
two engines, west bound, collided, un-
der a. full head of steam with train
No. 4, east bound. about one mile from
Seneca. The result was that five or six
coaches on the emigrant train were
crushed and it's load of human freight
sent into eternity in a moment, while
one coach on train No. 8, which con-
sisted of parlor car, diner and a bag
gage car, was also telescoped and four
dead bodies have been taken from the
ruins.
1t is not known how many people
ov1f train hIlf
the number of dead and injured will be
anywhere from sixty to one hundred
and fifty.
The people on that train were caught
like rats in a trap and crushed. Then
the wreck caught fire and those who
were not instantly killed. were slowly
roasted to death and none of the few
spectators who hastily. gathered from
the farm houses near by were able to
afford aid The whole emigrant train
was soon consumed by the flames and
every person on that train, it is re-
ported now, was killed.
Farmers residing along the track
rushed in on the blazing mass to res-
cue those whom they thought might
be alive. The bodies hauled out OF the
wreck were taken to nearby farm
houses, which are filled with dead. A
large number of injured were taken to
a hospital at Peru.
Along the track long lines of burned
bodies lie covered with blankets. pre-
senting a gruesome sight. 1t may be
possible that the exact number of
killed or who they are will never be
known. At present it is impossible to
get anythinef resembling a list of in
jured or dead from Seneca.

Cant. Diamond was sentenced to uay
a fine of 81, 600 or to be imprisoned one
year in the Albany county peniten-
tiary. The fine was paid under pro-
test. Capt. diamond VIII appeal the
case.
In passing sentence Judge Herrlck
spoke of the fact that disorderly
houses, "by a large portion of our
community are regarded as necessary
evils in large cities, and that police
officials wink at their continuance and
allow them to violate the law as long
as they do not fiaunt their violations
of the law before the public"
Without expressing any opinion as
to whether this tolerance of this class
of houses is morally right or wrong,
the court said that at is something
that is done probably by every police
official in every large city in the state,
and there Is not a. police captain prob
ably in any precinct in the city of New
York, or in the city of Albany. for
that matter, that might not be con-
victed for exactly the same crime that
you have been convicted Of"

that after proceeding for short time
in the description of the affair Mrs.
Bonine had stopped suddenly, saying
that she had been advised not to talk
further of the tragedy. On that same

BAD FIRE At TBkOA
Several Business Houses Burned
Thursday Morning.
Started In the Rear OF Harness
and Saddlery Store and Did
Quick Damage

Fire originating in the rear of the Te
koa Company's harness and saddlery
store at Tekoa at 1:30 Thursday morn,
ing burned several business houses before
it could be checked, notwithstanding the
excellent work of the volunteer fire de
partment and good streams of water.
The buildings were all frames, sand
wiched between good brick blocks. None
of the latter were lost.
The losers were the Tekoa Company
harness and saddlery, about $500 in
stock; building, owned by d. W. Truax
loss about 5000.
The Tekoa Electric Company, Ma
honey Bros, loss about $1,000.
Kay Grocery Company, loss on stock
$4,000.
Fred Warner, damage by water and
removal, about $1,000.
Mrs. Cunningham, millinery, damage
by water and removal, $500.
The fire started at serious time oil
night and was under dangerous head
way before the fire department could
get apparatus on the scene with which
to effectively fight it.
For time it seemed that large part
of the business portion of the town
must go, but splendid work on the part
OF the fire boys averted the threatened
disaster
