The wrecked train was operated between Richmond and Atlanta as a local. The engine, mail and baggage cars passed over the bridge safely, but disaster befell the two coaches and two sleepers. George Gould, the New York millionaire, and his son were passengers in one of the sleeping cars, but neither was in- jured. tate the Program Washington, De. 15.—The state department has advices from Man­ agua that some of the leaders of yesterday's demonstrations against President Zelaya have been arested. Mr. Caldc.a. representing the Uni­ ted States, says that large crowds surrounded the American legation cheering the government and the people of the United States. Should Zelaya carry out his pur­ pose of resigning and installing Mad- rix as president there is reason to believe that the Estrada function will continue its activities with even greater vigor than they have against Zelaya.
