TRAIN WRECKS DEATH ROLL.

xo,v Known That Twenty-three
Lives Were Lost In 3. r. Collision.
San Francisco. Dec. %. - Twenty
three 7ames are OH the latest revised
death list of the collision on the South
ern Pacific near Byron Springs be-
tween the Stockton flier and the "owl
train" There are twenty-one injured
survivors Of the accident, the condition
of four being extremely critical.
An investigation into the cause OF the
disaster has been begun by Coroner
Curry of Contra Costa county. There
appears to be no doubt that the Stock
ton fiier, which ran into the "owl train"
was signaled and that the engineer re-
sponded with whistle and threw on
the brakes. The question which re-
mains open is whether or not the slgna'
was given in time to avert the collision
Frank II. Short a resident OF Fresno
in describing the collision said:
Several successive jars occurred, the
lights went out, glass crashed all about
us, and the crowd was almost panic
stricken.
1--WE ran to the Fresno car and there
encountered scene of the most terri
bic description. Men were begging
swearing and grooming. Everything
was in utter darkness. A fence was
torn down and fires started to give
light
"Men were seen hanging out of win
dows, with their limbs caught IN TIT
wreckage. Some doubtless met instant
death, while others were horribly scald
cd and impaled. On one side of the cal
the victims seemed to be scalded, while
m the other side they were crushed.

The Message to Edward.
According to Il dispatch from Glaze
Bay. Sundays successful experiment
took place In the presence of the MEM
bers of Marconi's staff and a few priv
ileged guests who had been summoned
by telegraph. Among these was DR..
George r. Parkin, principal Of the Up
per Canada college and a trustee of the
Rhodes scholarship, who acted as cor
respondent of the London Times.
The day was fine and clear. The
wire at the Glace Bay end was attuned
with that across the ocean, little
more than 1900 miles away. and then
the inventor Signaled to the Cornwall
coast. A moment of intense suspense
followed until the watchers saw with
delight that response was coming.
The tape showed the dots and dashes
indicating that the call had been re.
eeived. Signor Marconi then began
transmitting message Of cOngratula'
ton from Lord Mimic, governor general
Of Canada. to King Edward, which had
been awaiting transmission since Oct
IL. The speed Of transmission IN
creased, the armature whizsed, and tn
cracking Of the electricity as IT broke
across the arc of transmission sounded
like revolver shots. Following Ear
Minto's message was one from Marco

Brandau & Kennedy, retail clothiers:

say the loss viii be between 500, 900

much higher
The McTeer and Davies buildings
and several other structures were in
flames time and again, but they were
saved, with small damage. by hard
work on the part of the fremen. Sew
eral explosions occurred in the hard
ware c0mpany's building, scattering
bricks and merchandise in every direc-

lapse Of the hardware company's build

loss Of $1,000 900 at least, the nanes
being easily handled after that big
structure had fallen.

M nunBERTs THREATEN.
Declare u French Cabinet Minister
VIII Fall with Them.


Madrid, Dec. 3d. - Arrested for the
most gigantic swndle Of modern times,
the Humbert family threatens to tell
story that will rival the great Panama
canal scandal Of the early eighties.
They declare that one French cabinet
minister will fall with them and that
many of those now lOudest In accusa-
ton against them in Paris will be
among the accused when the startling
revelations they promise are made
known.
The excitement here over the arrest
is almost as intense as in Paris. Crowds
surround the apartment house In the
fashionable Gale Ferraz and the pris-
on where the Humberts are confined,
which u q stones throw from the place
Of their arrest.
Roman d'Aurignac. who is the only
member Of the family maintaining his
courage, smokes cigarettes constantly.
Mr.. Roman said to the correspondent.
"If we have been swindlers, others
have got the proceeds"
Nine. Humbert, her husband, Freder.
ic; Mile. Eve Humbert, and Jean and
Marie dAurignac are apparently on
the verge of collapse. Madame has lost
her nerve completely. Both she ana
Mile. Eve weep constantly.
Frederic Humbert made this state
ment to the correspondent:
I'VE don't want to talk for the public
until we return to Paris. Then We will
tell story that will throw the Panama
scandal in the shade. We are the vic
tins of certain people In Paris who have
been using us for their own proht.
MANY of those now in the forefront
Of our accusers will. when we tell our
story, be among the accused. We In
tend to tell all. Certainly one man In
Paris who is now member Of the cab
met will fall with us. We shall see whe
falls the further"

OUR MASTER,

Immortal love forever full,
Forever flowing free,
Forever shared, forever whole,
A neyer-ebbing sea.
No fable old, nor mythic lore,
Nor dream of bard and seers,
No dead fact stranded on the shore
or the oblivious years.
But warm, sweet, tender, even yet
A present help is He;
And faith has still its Oliyet,
And love its Galilee.
The healing Of His seamless dress
Is by our beds Of pain;
We touch him in life's throng and
press,
And we are whole again.
Our Friend,our Brother,and our Lord
What may Thy service beS
Nor name, nor form, nor ritual word
But simply following Thee.
Thy litanies, sweet Offices
OF love and gratitude;
Thy sacramental liturgies,
The Joy Of doing good.
