Knoxville, Ten., Sept. 28.— The death list, aa a result of the fearful wreck on (he Southern railway, near New Market, baa grown tonight to 82, atad it will probably exceed 70, as many of the injured are in a serious condit ion and more deaths will occnr ' at the hospital. Today there were aix deaths at that institution. A force of 150 men toiled all day long at the scene of the wreck. Be fore 2 o’clock the track was clear for through trains, but it required many horns to clear the debris. Small fragment of bodies were found today, but it is thought that they be long to bodies already found . and brought to this city. One little baby was found by the wreckers, but that was all. The cause of the teirible loss of life on the heavy east-bound tram was ex plained today. It Beems that the sec ond coach plowed its way into a bank in such a manner that the other cars were jammed into it and pushed on by the weight of the heavy Pullmans were crashed like egg shells. The physicians at the hospital state tonight that of the long list of injured which they have in their care, it is probable that not more than four will die. The complete list of injured as given by the railroad officials shows a total of 162, but this included all per sons who were slightly hurt or scratch ed.

Paris, Sept. 26.— The foreign office has received s report from the French minister at Pekin saying that' China has given the most complete apology and reparation for the attack of Chi nese soldiers at 1 Pekin upon Captain Laribe, of the French legation guard, on Monday last. The captain was in sulted and struck with a stick, but he was not seriously hurt. The French minister energetically protested to the geperal commanding the Chinese, who wrote the minister an abject apology while the Chinese captain commanding the assanlting soldiers made a personal apology to Captain Laribe. The Chinese general condemned the five ringleaders to punishment only one degree short of death. Owing to the action of the general, the officials here do not consider that this incident and the assault ou the Italian soldiers Sep tember 15 indicate another general anti-foreign movement. Therefore the reparations have been accepted and the incident is closed. Ordered to Portland. Washington, Sept. 26.— Major Thom as C.

Passenger Trains Heel Head-On In Tennessee. Knoxville, Tenn., Sep. 27.— Run ning on a roadbed in a supposedly high condition o f maintenance, and having about them every safeguard known to a modern railroad, two train* on the Southern Railway car rying heavy lists o f passengers met head-on near Hodgea, Tenn., sending 60 people to death and Injuring ISO, several of whom will probably die. Some o f the bodies have not yet been recovered, and many remain unidenti fied. \ This appalling loss o f life and maiming o f the living resulted appar ently from the disregarding o f orders given to the two trains to meet at a station which haa for a long time been their regular meeting-point. This action on the part o f the engi neer of the westbound train is made more Inexplicable by the fact that the accident happened in broad daylight, and according to the best Information obtainable he had the order in a lit tle frame In front o f him aa his en gine rushed by the station, and a mile and a half further on came upon an eastbound passenger train. The pos sibility exists that the engineer may have been asleep. The trains were on time, and not making over 35 miles an hour, yet the Impact as they rounded a curve and came suddenly upon each other was frightful. Both engines and the major portions o f both trains were de molished, and why the orders were disregarded or misinterpreted will probably never be known, as the en gineers o f the two trains were crush ed, their bodies remaining tor hours under the wreckage o f their loco motives.

There are about 200 delegates in attendance. Forest Tires Spreading.
