WEBSTER'S INTERNATIONAL DICTIONARY A GRAND INVESTMENT * THIRTEEN KILLED. . Another Deadly Disaster on a Swiss Railroad, | AGAIN AN EXCURSION TRAIN, Dashed Into by the Paris Express | and One Car Completely Wrecked, | In Addition to the Killed, Eight een Received Severe Injuries—The Accident Due to Negligence. DErxE, Aug, 18,—The people of Switz. | erland have hardly recovered from the railroad scare caused by the terrible ac- cident at Moenchenstein in June last, by which over 150 Persons on An excursion train lost their lives and about 800 were injured, when they were startled by another wholesale loss of life by reason of a railroad accident, This last disaster occurred on the Jura-Simplon railroad lines, near the village of Zollikofen, not far from this city. A special train carrying a large num- | ber of excursionists from the country districts to this city was on its way here, the passengers intending to take part in the centenary fetes which are now in progress here and elsewhere throughout Switzerland, Due to Negligence, This excursion train was stopped at Zellikofen in order to enable it to be shunted into a siding so as to let the Paris express pass. By some gross negligence, apparently, upon the part of the railroad officials, the Paris train, loaded with foreign travelers, was not warned to look out for the excursion train while passing Zollikofen, and the | result was that the express dashed into | the special train. Luckily the engineer of the express | had canght sight of the excursion train in time to put down the brakes, and the damage dome ana the loss of life were not so great as it might have been. | As it was, the engine of the express | cut into and almost entirely demolished the guards’ van at the rear of the excus- | sion train, which was empty, and then crashed into the rearmost of the passen- ger cars, completely wrecking it. Thirteen Killed, Eighteen Injured, Thirteen people were killed and | eighteen persons seriously injured. In | addition to these thirty others have suf- | fered more or less severe wounds or bruises. The bodies of the dead were carried | to the waiting room of the railroad sta | tion at Zollikofen and were there laid in | rows while awaiting identification. The interior of the station, as a result, pre | sented a most sickening spectacle, for ' many of the dead were so terribly muti- | lated as to be practically beyond recog. | nition. The wounded were attended to by the relief co sent to the scene | from this city. pee of the wounded | who were in a state to be removed | bave been taken to the hospitals in this city; others are being nursed near the spot where their injuries were | received.

No sooner did it become known, a few weeks ago, that the ec- ce suthorities of Treves, Rhenish Prussia, were about to exhibit a garment claimed to have been worn by the Saviour than the French were alive to deprive the Germans, as far as pos sible, of the honor and profit. It ap poars that Argenteuil, within easy ac ceseChy rail from Paris, also possesses a coat claimed to have belonged to Christ Arrangements were promptly made for the exhibition of the relic. Sunday was chosen as the opening day, several days ahead of the first public view at Treves. Great throngs of people went from Paris and other localities to see the holy vestment. The exhibition was in every way sucosssful, and is said to have cansed proportionate chagrin at Treves, which will lose a multitude of French Catholic visitors. The prepara tions for the public exhibitions at Treves are going on hurriedly, and will be completed within the appointed time, Gloriana’s Eighth Victory, Newrort, R.
