pressed a desire to have as many OF the
humble members of the faith as possible
admitted and fifty thousand tickets VIII

Catholic clubs and associations. semln-
aries, ecclesiastical colleges, monasta1es
and converts. The remainder OF the seats
will be reserved for distinguished guests
Only two galleries have been erected, one
for the diplomatic body and one for the
Roman arstocracy. The body OF Inc
church will be divided into compartments
with separate entrances. Thousands are
already leaving the Venetian provinces to
attend the coronation of their Pope"
The government to avoid untoward IN
cidents has ordered the piazzas and the
neighborhood of st. Peters and the Bascll'-
ca to be occupied by the military and has
forbidden an anti-clerical manifestation
proposed by the socialist and republicans
for that day. The Popes first allocutlon
to be delivered at the next secret consls :

The selection of a new papal Secretary

AN AWFUL CRASH

No. 1. Then he too jumped when he was
within but a very few seconds of sure
death in the crash He was of course
shaken up as was his fireman and brake
man. but not badly. None of the crew
of either train was hurt. At the time the
crash occurred train No. was running
probably fifteen miles an hour.
In discussing the responsibility for the
horror, the railroad unhesitatingly lays 1t
to Engineer Probst, of the second section
of the train, whose home Is IN Battle
Creek. Probst says that the airbrake on
his train refused to work, but the officials
declare that he could have stopped the
train in time to have avoided serious con-
sequences.
General Manager F. H. Michigan said
this afternoon:
"Probst knew that he was coming INTO
a yard where our trains usually stand and
take on water The rules say plainly that
engineers shall approach such yards with
their trains under control. A brakeman
sent back by the first train warned him OF
the danger three quarters OF a mile before
he got to the standing section. For near
ly half mile before he got to the first
train the track is straight and clear and
he should have been able to see the red
lights on the back of the train ahead IN
time to stop his train. OF course, he, like
any one else, will try to avoid such a
dreadful responsibility.
The official report on the accident, is
sued by Superintendent Brownlee, de-
h0t have
been tested since the accident and found
to be in perfect condition and there is
evidence that they were not applied
One of the officials in discussing the ac-
cident and its cause, said he believed that
Engineer Probst had exhausted his air III
checking his train several times between
Lansing and Durand, and failed to again
charge his tank. The head brakeman and
! fireman, who were on the engine, bear out
| Engineer Probst's statement, that the
brakes refused to work.
The bodies of the dead have been placed
in caskets and are being shipped to their
homes as rapidly as possible. The injured
who are still here at the temporary hos
pital in the Hotel Richelieu are those suf-
