still hold the fort de Vaux. Berlin
reported that French attacks in the

There has been more fighting on the

struggling with the Teutons to regain

DEs MONIES, June 5--one Of the
worst railroad accidents in this vicinity
in some years occurred when a Rock
Island passenger train, going at high

their lives in the disaster and several
coaches were hurled of the broken
