Ill As Many More Injured in a Railway Wreck. LATEST REPORTS OF DISASTER The Latest News From the Inter Oceanic Railroad Wreck is Appalling1. Associated Press. City of Mexico via Galveston, March 1. It la now known that 200 people were killed and injured In the terrible wreck on the Inter-Oceanlo Railway yesterday. It Is Impossible to say as yet how many of this number are dead, as the wreck has not yet all been cleared away and reports are very conflicting. It 1b feared, "however, that ov-jr 100 are dead. The train was an excursion carrying nearly 1200 passengers returning- from a pilgrimage to the Sacre Monte Shrine. Near Pedrl Blancha there is a sharp curve and at this point from some reason as yet not definitely learn ed, Ave coadhes jumped the track and went down Che side of Che mountain. Three of tihem were smashed complete, ly Into k Induing wood. As soon as word was received In this city a re lief train, was seu.out with surgeons and a wrecking1 force and the work of rescuing- the wounded and taking out the dead has 'been progressing' since. As fast as possible the wounded are brought to this city, President Dla having ordered the military hospital with Its staff to care for all survivors. A gendarme who returned on one of the relief trains says (he saw fourteen bodies taken from one coach. The bodies were imangtled- In a most shock ing manner; some of them were In fragments, and the llm'bs and heads and bodies were mixed up In such a manner as to make Identification al most Impossible. The scene albout the wreck was most 'sickening as well as sorrowful. Relatives were searching for missing members of their families, and women and children who had lost husbands and fathers were crying- and moaning! la a heartrending- manner. Further detail from, the scene are ex pected later this evening, but the tele, graph, service is unsatisfactory. This Is the most serious wreck In Mexico Blnce 1891, when a train load of sol diers went through a bridge, 400 of them being killed. . The most careful Inquiry In this section, of railroad peo ple, Indicate that there were no Amer. leans on the train, the passengers, as far as teamed; being1 natives. The train crew were not Americans, and In accordance with the Mexican cus tom, all who were not killed will be arrested, the .Mexican law placing the responsibility on the train men for such affairs, and are stringent. TRAGEDY NBAiR BAKER CITY. Two Miners Shot, One Killed and the Other Seriously Wounded. Baker City, March 1. 'News was brought to this city this evening that an awful tragedy occurred yesterday tfternoon near the Sparta mining- camp situated thirty miles from here, in which James George lost his life and L. A. Lurohln was seriously wounded. The murder was committed) by G. E. Chamberlain, who used a Winchester shot gun. Ill feeling had existed for some time between the parties, which arcs: over a disputed placer 1 claim. Chamlberlain took his victims unawares coming- upon them while they were at work In -the mine. The first shot took effect In Lurchln's neck, which felled him to the ground, and he was left for dead. Chamberlain then blew out George's brains. A 15-year-okl son of the deceased was a witness to thehor lible deed and as the boy started to run was fired upon, but the shot scat tered around him. The deceased leaves a wife and eleven children. The mur derer Is still at large. THE fcUUENE SENSATION. Dugene, Or., March l.-The trial of Miss Mary Berger on a charge of send ing obscene matter through the malls was the principal topic of conversation throughout the city today. She was examined before United States Com missioner Walton and the greater part of the day was consumed in the exami nation. She was bound over to ap pear before the United States , jury, with bonds fixed at $200. The principal evidence on which she was arrested was that she had written a letter to iMrs. McKenney, from Fair mount, and Mrs. McKenney answered it, sending a detective to watch at the postoffice and see who should can for the letter. This detective swore posl Uvely in the trial of Mrs. McKenney, that Miss Berger called and got that letter from the Fairmount postoffice on a certain day. It was thought to bt conclusive that the person who wrote the letter to which this was An answei was the author of many obscene mis sives that have been received by prom inent ladies. Today Miss Berger prov. ed an alibi to the charge, that She wa not at Fairmount at the time stated by the witness, ibut evidence was in troduced that had a tendency to fas ten the crime upon her. Many think she is Innocent, and many think her guilty, but it Is the general belief that some body also was acting as a confed erate with her. The case promises hv teresting developments when it comes up in court. APPOINTMENTS AT SALEM. , Gowan's National Guard Bill Becomes a Law Without the Governor's Signature. Salem, March 1.
