BRIDGE DISASTER
Switzerland Railroad Wreck
BnrxE June 15 The total number of
people killed by the collapse of the railroad
bridce on the Moncheustein and Basle rail-
road is now placed at one hundred and
twenty with hundieds more or less injured
Another account of the disaster says fifty
seven bodies have already been recovered
BRI forty persons ait severely wounded It
is feared many others are dead whose bodies
have not been found The victims are
mostly leading citizens of Baslo and its
neighborhood The engineers who have in-
spected the bridge since its collapse say the
iron work of the structure alone gave way
and the masonry work is intact
Scenes which were truly heartrending
were witnessed in this city tcday when
tho bodies of a largo number of
victims of the Mbenschrein railroad
disaster were brought here from tho place
where the accident occuired by sorrowing
relatives who had gone in search of miss
ing husbands fathers brothers wives
mothers or sistcre as the case mav be for
representatives of a majority of the best
families of Basle left here to attend the
music festival Wives brought homo
bodies of their husbands and
husbands brought back from the bodies of
their wives and of their children Several
families were practically wiped entirely
out of existence by the disaster the full
extent of which is not even known at this
hour Basle is now truly a city of mourning
Nearly every family in tho city may be said
to have been touched by the calamity for
those families who have not actually lost
one of their members have dear friends or
acquaintances either among the dead or
among thoso who are mourning the
loss of relatives or sympathizing with
thoso who have friends among the w ounded
The latter includes many serious injuries
Almost each hour records another death or
another case in which physicians give up
all hope of saving
Ever thing that tho local and municipal
authorities can do to recover tho dead is Do
ing done Clergymen priests and
physicians a large force of troops
and firemen and scores of vehicles
to bo used as ambulances
have been dispatched to the scene of the
wreck The troops and firemen are busily
engaged in removing the wrecking recover
ing tho bodies of the dead and transporting
the wounded to their homes in this city
or to the hospitals Tho work of
soldiers dragging tho river was greatly
impeded by the fact that the stream was
considerably swollen by recent raina This
carried the bodies away down tho river
so that it is expected several days
dragging will be required before the
soldiers work will bo completed
F There was an improvised morgue on tho
itiver bank where the dead bodies were
taken and laid in rows by tho soldiers
Clpse to the dead were two hugo fires of
fir trees and the bivouac of the infantry
who furnished a guard from their
number who with fixed bayonets form a
square of sentinels around the dead acta
mitting withiu their line only those who
were actually in search of miss
ing relatives Such people arrived
there at all hours of tho night from
city and elsewhere and wero most
indly received by the oflicers in command
of the troops who gave the visitors every
facility to prosecute their search
The red glare of the biv-
ouac fires lit up this morgue
with awful intensity with the flashing
arms of the troops surrounding it
For a few moments at early dawn when
the gray light of the morning began to work
changes in these scens troope firemen
prieste clergymen physicians and others
rested briefly by tho fires and partook
gratefully of a soldiers frugal breakfast
coffee and black bread while preparing for
a rei tition of their efforts in behalf of the
dead and wounded
With the morning hours the wounded
were removed to this city
Official consideration will have to deter-
mine tho cause of the accident and upon
whom to lay the blame

Jtuilinls Speech on the Driebund
Rome June 15 It appears that the
speech of Premier Di Rudini in the senate
yesterday was incorrectly reported Ac-
cording to the published report of his re-
marks the premier said the driebund im-
posed no obligations upotf the countries
forming the triple alliance in regard to arm-
aments What he did say was this The
policy of the alliance does not permit us to
maintain a modest armament Not only
does the driebund impose obligations upon
us in regard to our armaments but it is
impossible for any Italian minister not to
contract ties as far as our military policy is
concerned
What the Xext Step Will Be
London June 15 The Times cor

committee of the cars orthodox ministers
Many persons think that if the present
financial policy is continued human beings
will soon meet a similar fate
Stands Up for the Prince
London June 15 The Daily News con-
tinues to defend the Prince of Wales The
suggestion that the Prince should have
plajedtho part of the informer and peach
upon old friends when in trouble is utterly
No
preposterous such duty should be cast
upon a man of honor and certainly the
Queen s regulations do not require it The
Daily News thinks the cate would be met
if the duke of Cambridge as commander in
chief of the forces should signify his dis-
approval of the document signed at Tranbv
Crolt The paper blames Lord Cknentry
for dragging the Prince into the scandal
instead as was his duty of keeping him
out of it

ments of the crops

streets of Hico this week at 50 cents a

Quanah Hakdemax Couxtt Tnx June
13 Wo have endeavored to obtain a full
report from various portions of the county
as to the extent of damages sustained by
the farmers to their crops on account of tho
late heavy rains and hig water and find
that the loss has been greatly overrated
and that iu Hardeman county the crops will
average at least twothirds of what they
were estimated before tho rain Of course
in some cases farmers will lose heavily and
some few mil lose all but the majority will
harviist a full crop the only loss being on
low land which was flooded In tho Chilli
cothe neighborhood tho rain seemed to bo
heavier accompanied by considerable hail
which did more damage to crops than in any
other portion of the county The following
farmers in that neighborhoort aro reported
as the heaviest losers from hail and water

acreage in crops and the farmers a e again

in his neighbohood was injured from 5 to 10
per cent Mr S P Strongs wheat was not
hurt at all The wheat crop all over the
county will be good this season and it is
esimated that the yield will be from fifteen
to twenty bushels per acre This however
does not indicate the character and strength
of tho soil as the land used is to a great ex-
tent sod and in other instances has been
heavily cropped with sorghum which will
effect the deepest and richest soih
