Fast Trains.

from the New 1ork Tribune.
A good many railway trains in Europe
as well America, travel at the rate of
fifty-four and fifty-five miles an hour for
comparatively short distances Two or three
years ago the service between London and
Edinburgh. on the east coast, and between
London and Glasgow, On the west coast
about 400 miles altogether--was performed
at speed lower than fifty-one miles an
hour but of late this has been quickened
slightly. On the whole the best European
record at present is made by the Sud ex-
press from Paris to Bayonne, which covers
1851 miles at the rate of Alb miles an
hour. 1t is exceedingly doubtful, though
whether any of the international railway
trains on the other side Of the Atlantic
travel $50 miles at even fifty miles an hour.
Consequently. the new service between New
York and Chicago is probably without a
parallel in the world. So. too. Is that won

City, fifty-five and one-half miles at the

thirty-hve miles from the Minas

Of General Torres troops.
1t appears that the Yaqui forces
that were operating In that section
had moved further into the noun
tains, leaving their women and
children in Santa Rosa canon under
guard of eighty men. The Mex
lean troops came upon this camp and
without warning opened terrible
fire sparing neither women nor chill

were left in the canon and the re-
manning women and children were
driven to Minas Prietas by the
soldiers, and from that point will be
taken to Hermosillo.
The Mexican soldiers and rurales
have explicit orders to take no va

yesterday when friendly Yaqui

Mother Dead. Children Waits.

Tecumseh, Neb., June 9.-Mrs.
Henry Moore died at the poor farm
here Thursday night and was burio d
in the Potter's field In the Tecumseh
cemetery the following day. The
circumstances that preceded her
death are of sad character. For
some time the Moore family, consist
ing of the father and mother and
three sons and two daughters, had
lived in little shanty In the east
part OF town. The father failed to
provide for the family and the
mother was compelled to take in
washing to furnish the necessities
of life. During the winter and
early spring her health gave out,
and she was seemingly too proud to
ask the authorities for help. What
little provisions could be secured was
devOured by the husband and the
children, the mother continually
depTiving herself Of sufficient fuod.Jo
properly nourish her body, that the
other members of the family might
be fed. The children became waits
on the street and the boys though
young, fell in the way OF the bad.
Two weeks ago Wiley, the Oldest
boy, aged seventeen, was given ten
days in the couny Jail, for stealing.
and his sentence expired but day
or two before his mother died. Last
week the officers became aware Of
the mothers condition ana took her
from her filthy little hut to the poor
farm where she might be properly
cared for. The time that she was
at the poor farm was counted by
hours and she died with no other
member Of her family with her than
an infant baby in her arms. Since
her death the father has informed
the officers that they must provide
for his children, and accordingly the
girls will be sent to the home Tor

boys to the reform school,
