the binding clouds of smoke from the
burning train. Frequent attempts
were made by volunteers, whom it
was necessary to rescue half suffo-
Gated and send to the hospitals.
AS the firemen brought out the
bodies agonizing cries went up from
women and children who recognized
their dead husbands and fathers. The
clothing of the victims indicated that
they were almost entirely second
class passengers. There were sew
eral first class coaches on the trains,
and it is believed that three occu-
pants were also among the victims.
The body of one of the women was
handsomely dressed, while two among
the male victims were evidently per-
sons of Importance.
NJ. Vignes. one of the directors of
the Metropolitan company, places the
responsibility for the disaster entirely
on Driver Georges Chauvin of train
No, 43. He said:
"Chauvin is one of our Oldest and
most devoted employees. At the
Barbes station short circuit occurred
in his motor Instead of obeying
printed instructions and isolating the
damaged motor, he merely employed
the extinguishers, believing these
would suffice to stop the fire.

way was covered with pieces of cloth
ing torn from the victims, battered
hats and twisted umbrellas, showing
how desperate was the struggle
among the panic stricken fugitives in
the dense blackness of the tunnel.
AS showing the brutality attendant
upon the struggle of the crowd to
escape, the corpse of one woman was
found with her breast torn away. One
survivor says he shouldered his way
through the struggling mass to the
station, whose locality he knew, and
went straight to the staircase. While
ascending this two women chung to
his legs and were saved.
A rescued passenger said: 81 do
not know how 1 got out but l could
not have gone another twenty yards.
The train was much nearer to the Rue
des Couronnes station than to the
Menilmontant, but many passengers
rushed in the latter direction. Every
one was mad with terror. l trod on
several persons who were lying on
the ground"
That part of the underground rail-
way in which the disaster occurred
comprises the two intermediate sta
lions of Menilmontant and Les Cour-
onnes. Train No. 43, consisting of
eight coaches, coming from Port Dau-
phin and going towards the Place de
la Nation, stopped at the Boulevard
CARRIES owing to slight accident to
the motor, and the passengers alight-
ed. Then train No. So arrived. It's
passengers also were debarked. The
two trains were then coupled together
and No. SO pushed No. i3 along the
line towards the workshops. No stop
pages were made at La Chapelle and
Auberviliers, Combat and Belleville
stations, but at Les Courornes the
driver slowed down slightly.
The two trains then proceeded into
the tunnel, the trainmen closing the
doors. Suddenly, as the first coach
was drawing into Menilmontant sta
ton, violent explosion occurred and
a blue flame rose between the coach
containing the motor and the next
one. In a few minutes all of the six
teen coaches we're on fire.
The trainmen jumped on the rails
and fed towards the station. They
were just in time, for the flames al
ready had reached the roof and walls
of the tunnel. The electric wires were
fusing and the tunnel, except for
the flames from the burning coaches,
was in darkness.
Thick smoke began to enter the
Menilmontant station and also to roll

MIMIC WARFARE ENDS IN
DEFEAT OF "ENEMY'S" FLEET


The war game is over. At $50
o'clock on the morning of Aug. 8, the
enemy was captured trying to take
Winter Harbor. He was sighted by
the Olympia.
Bugle notes sounded on the Olym-
pia, men rushed to quarters and the
operator in the wireless telegraph
room was signalling for the Kear-
sarge to announce the discovery of
the fleet to Rear Admiral Barker. The
flagship, twenty-five miles away off
Mount Desert Rock, caught the sound
waves and answered. In few mo-
ments word came by the wireless that
the Kearsarge was on her way to aid
the Olympia.
Meanwhile that vessel had found
herself in predicament. The fog,
which had been of advantage to the
enemy, proved a handicap to the

Ravaoed by Mountain Lion.

Ranchmen living near the foothills
south of Carter. Wyo., are bringing in
reports of huge mountain lion which
comes down from the hills at night,
killing sheep. cattle and horses. About
ten days ago Mr.. Bigelow was sur
prised and Mortified one morning to
find that fine brood mare belonging
to him had been ham strung" and her
colt killed and partially devoured. Mr..
Bigelow found the cat-like tracks of
the animal leading back to the hills
and states they measured nearly four
inches in diameter. The night follow
ing a neighbor had three sheep and a
calf killed and found tracks of two
kittens with those of the mother lion
leading back through a canyon. Since
that time nearly every night the lion
visits some ranch and has killed a
number of sheep and calves and has
ruined several horses by ham-string-
ing them. A big hunt with dogs is
being organized to trail out and kill
the ferocious beast.

NEW MOSQUITO BRINGS DEATH
Insect With Unusually Virulent Sting
Appears in Philadelphia.


A new mosquito is in Philadelphia.
He does not differ much from his 9TH
er brothers except in his sting. Since
his arrival, however, ten men, women
and children have called at the Penn
sylvania hospital for treatment and
one man has died. The sting of the
insect produces great pain, and the
wound swells and infiames.
The hospital physicians believe that
the bites of these mosquitoes are pois-
onous for the reason that they feed
on the refuse and decayed fruit that is
thrown into the streets.
The, victim who died was John Co
lumbus, a motorman of Gloucester
City, N. ]. He was bitten by one of
the new mosquitoes and scratched the
wound until the blood came. Blood
poisoning set in, and it was impossi-
