MEXICAN WRECK.
Mrs. John Rowland Reports Train
 Horror When 600 Were Killed.

A letter received in Boston from
 Mrs. John Rowland who with her hus- band, Rev. John Rowland, has been at Guadalajara, Mexico. where they have been engaged in missionary work
 for years. tells something of the ex- periences they have had in getting out of the troubled country and of their efforts to make their way to Cal ifornia- Mrs. Rowland is a daugh- ter of Deacon w. H. Chollar of Broad
 former principal of Killingly High
 school. They spent much of last sum-
 mer in Danielson.
 Miss Marion D. Chollar, sister of
 Mrs. Rowland, said Monday afternoon that nothing additional to what ap-
 peared in Sundays press despatches,
 except greater detail contained in letter received here, had reached Dan ielson, but the expectation of Rev. and Mrs. Rowland was to reach San Francisco March 4. They have not announced their arrival at that city. The following article relative to the Mexican experiences referred to ap- peared in a New York paper Sunday: Boston, March 6.-Report of rail-
 road accident in Mexico last January in which 600 lives were lost is con tained in a letter received today by the American board of commissioners for foreign missions from one of its representatives at Manzanillo, on the Mexican west coast
 The letter was written on February 14. According to the writer, after the entry of the soldiers into Guadalajara, which was captured by CarranZa's troops on January IS. the governor or
 dered that their families should be
 brought up from Colima on special train
 There were more than twenty cars," the letter continued, simply packed fwith humanity, the roofs covered with | men and women and many slung under l the cars, in a most perilous position | even for ordinary travel
 @At the top of the steepest grade,
 coming down the engineer lost control
 and the cars rushed down the long in cline, throwing off human freight on | both sides ans finally plunging into an abyss.
 Mine hundred people were on the train, and only six were unhurt. More | than 600 were killed outright Some of | the Yaqui Indians committed suicide when they were told of the accident l to their families and others have sworn vengeance. All the railroad men were killed. so there is none to suf- fer.'
 The letter was written by Mrs. John | Rowland who, with her husband and Louis B. Fritts, was escaping from Guada1ajara, where they had been con- nected with the boards mission sta
 tion. They were endeavoring to reach California, but when they arrived at Manzanillo their steamer had departed.
 They left Guadalajara on the first
 train operated on the line after the ac-
 cfdent occurred.
 It is believed by officials of the
 board that they are now somewhere in
 Northern Mexico on their way to the United States. Mrs. Rowland is we'll known to the board and her report is regarded as undoubtedly correct

Walker was held at the central
school building yesterday to discuss
the public presentation of the allie
gorical photodrama, 'Hypocrites, >"
which was shown to fifty invited
guests at the Ditmas last Tuesday

tanned the opinion of several promi-
nent business men who saw the
private performance and all were
enthusiastic over the merits of the
picture and the exquisite manner in
which the delicate theme was han
died. The board, upon Mr. Walkers s
recommendation, passed the picture
with the provision that children un-
der sixteen be not admitted. Mr..

though no date has yet been set, Mr..
Miller announced that "Hypocrites'
would probably be shown some Fri
day and Saturday during October.
