Rome, April 2. - While Lloyd G..
Griscom, the American ambassador
and Mrs. Griscom were returning from
the Easter services at the American
church yesterday they saw smoke ris-
ing from the roof of their home, the
Palazzo del Drago. Mr.. Griscom hur-
riedly entered the building and found
the servants were unaware that the
palace was on fire. The ambassador
led the way to the attic. Flames
burst forth as he opened the door and
burned his hand and singed his eye
brows. When the firemen arrived the
beams, which were put in place centu-
ries ago, were burning briskly. The
roof over the attic collapsed, causing
the center portion of the ceiling of the
magnificent ballroom to fall. The fur
niture and paintings were quickly re-
moved, but not before several of the
latter, notably one of President Roose-
welt, were damaged.
After working two hours the firemen
succeeded in checking the blaze. The
loss is estimated at $4,000 and is COW

MANY KILLED IN TRAIN WRECK
TRAIN DERAilED AND WRECKED
COACHES ARE HURLED IN
EVERY DIRECTION.

Cotton, Cal, March so. - A disas
trous wreck occurred near here yes
terdsy, when a passenger train ran
into an open switch while going at the
rate OF forty miles an hour. Ten OF
the fourteen coaches were derailed.

smashed into splinters. Most of the
dead were Italians who occupied the
smoker and day coach. The dead were
terribly mangled The injured were
carried to this city.
But two Americans are known to
have been killed. although several OF
those among the injured will undoubt-
eddy die within few hours.

serious injuries. The three Pullman
coaches and the diner, which were on
the rear of the train, did not leave the

There was absolutely no warning OF
the impending catastrophe. The engi-
neer saw the signal of the open switch
when but a few rods distant from 1t
and had no time TO sound even a whis-
tie of warning. much less to reverse
the throttle or set the brakes. He
called TO his fireman TO jump, and they
both leaped wildly from opposite sides
OF the engine.
