ing OF IA Pullman. diner and two day

The diner and Pullman were hauled
across the trestle before they left the
tracks and rolled down an embank-
ment. The day-coach following the
diner broke loose from the other cars
and left the trestle. hitting the masonry
work with terrific force and dropping
40 feet to the bottom of Canandaigua
outlet. The day-coach next in the
train ran off the embankment and
dropped. head foremost. to the bot
tom Of the creek with the rear ex-
tending above the tracks. In this
coach was the greatest mortality. as
the passengers were piled In heap Of
humanity In the fore end OF the coach.
The Pullman which followed this day
coach and in which were many of the
G. A. II. veterans returning from the
Rochester convention just missed the
fate OF the four preceding cars by tho
fortunate breaking Of the coupler which
held II to the rest OF the train.

Chesterfield Courthouse, Va, Aug.
29.-An authenticated boy. talking
swiftly but clearly, revealed on the
witness stand today to the surprise of
both defense and prosecution. In the
trial of Henry Clay Beattie, Jr., for
wife murder, that he had observed
several blood spots along Midlothian
turnpike where the crime occurred.
Hitherto II had been presumed no
blood spots except one near the
place where Mrs Beattie is supposed
to have succumbed, existed.
Alexander Robertson was the boy
and what he told the jury unex-
pectedly In response to question
from counsel for the defense entirely
upset the plan OF the prosecution to
rest It's case today. Prosecutor Wen
denburg announced that 1t would be
necessary for him to now call at
least seven or eight witnesses to con-
trovert the boys testimony.
On direct examination by Prosecu-
tor Wendcnburg when the latter was
seeking to show where the boy found
certain yellow hairpin similar to
that worn by Mrs. Beattle. Robertson
referred to its distance from "the
first blood spot
"Were there two blood spots?" asked
Harry NJ. Smith Jr, counsel for the
defense In apparent surprise. The
boy then told Of second blood spot
and of several other smaller spots
near 1t.
Contention Of the Defense.
The revelation concerning the pres
encc of more than one blood spot Is
In line with the contention Of the de-
fense that all blood on the road oozed
from the car i'm which Bcattie alleges
his wife was shot. The prosecution's
theory has been that the large blood
spot In the road at the place where
Mrs. Beattie is alleged to have been
killed resulted from a murder COM
mitted outside the machine and MOI
In the seat, as Henry alleges.
The prosecution has pointed out b,
witnesses that blood was found or

GIVE PENSIONS
TO THE REBELS
Mexico will Pay Foreigners
for Property Lest.

City of Mexico, May 29.-In notes to
the representatives here Of all foreign
countries, President De Ia Barra has
notified them Of the desire Of the new
government officials to pay all claims
growing out Of the revolution. These
claims for the deaths of foreigners and
for property destroyed will be heard
by a special court to be established at
once.
Representations for recovery Of dam
ages may be made through regular
diplomatic channels, and all speed Will
be used to bring the claims before the
court as soon as compatible with pres
ent conditions.
De la Barra gave assurances OF the
anxiety Of the government to make
reparation on all bonafde claims of
loss or death. No date is set for the
converting Of the court, but 1t Is I'M
derstood within a month the court will
be In session, and claims will be con-
sidered according to diplomatic prece-
dence.
The second important arrangement
made by the new president was that
concerning the disposition Of a large
part of the insurrecto armies. He is
said now to be considering a plan of
paying a certain pension to all revolu-
ttonaries and a pension to the fam
lilies of those killed. The better ele-
ment of the insurrectos are allowed
the option of Joining the rurales or
joining a force that will be used to
suppress the brigands throughout the
country. A bill authorizing this
scheme will shortly be introduced into
congress, and a committee Of five from
the senate and the deputies will be
appointed to work out the details OF
the reimbursement. De la Barra hopes
that this matter will be settled before
the holding of the elections, SO that no
bands Of armed and discontented revo-
lutionaries may still exist to the en-
barrassment Of the elections.
Emilio Yasquez Gomez and Francis
co vasquez Gomez, two cabinet mem
bers elected from the followers of
Madero, have arrived here, and both
will take the oath of office today.
The only news Of disturbance any
where in Mexico comes from San Luis
Potosi, where the insurrectos under
Candida Navarro have taken posses
sion. Rioting ensued, and the rabble,
unrestrained by either insurrectos or
federal troops, destroyed the public
gardens and broke much glass in the
windows Of business houses. In a
clash between thirteen infantrymen, a
detachment Of federals and drunken
insurrectos one insurrecto was killed.
