When nighe fell over the scene of yesterday evening's awful calamity on the Wa bash railroad near Seneca, those who had been investigating the disas- ter had found nothing to alter the es- i timate of about eighty lives lost as result of the collision. Supt.

George M. Burns of the division on which the wreck occurred insists that the estimates are too high. 'I do not consider," said he, "that the total death list will exceed twenty." However. In support of the larger es- i timate, it is pointed out that there are now fourteen passengers known to be dead. The bodies of eight of these ikve been recovered and it is consid- I ered that the fragments of other bod- ies now in the morgue at Adrian, will account for many more than the twelve dead necessary to make up Su- perlntendent Burns' estimate of twen- In addition to the comparatively fragments recovered and sent to i he morgue, those who were early on the scene say that many more pieces were discovered and crumbled to powder while they were being removed.

Dispute at to Number. Superintendent Burns said to the Associated press tonight that he was un-uble to tell the exact number of Italian Immigrants aboard train No. 13, but thought that there were not more than fifty. Passengers on the train md a number of those who were early on the scene dispute this and say the number 'was nearer eighty. Superintendent Burns has received no report yet from Ticket Collector Barnes of train No.

HARTFORD. Nov. 28. of Knocked but in the second round which 'one minute and forty-fourf sec onds had elapsed, was the referee's verdict of the fistic battle between "Young Cprbett" of Denver, and Terry McGovern, of Brooklyn, who has held the featherweight championship unflinchingly since he won it from George Dixon, eighteen months ao. Outwitted and outpointed with a fighter Just the same as himself, McGovern had to lower his colors this afternoon at the Nutmeg A.

C. to young Corbett within six minutes from the start "the fight. Young Corbett, who, outside of ring parlance, known as Billy Rothwell of Denver, got the better of the champion in less than two rounds ot fighting and he did it so perfectljr that there was no doubt about it.

Terry Not Quite Fat Enough.

Terry was as fit as the proverbial fiddle, buthe was not fast enough for his man. From the word "go" they went at each liother like game cocks, and It looked as" if either would go out in the first round. McGovern got the worst of the opening round and in his endeavor to get in left himself open several times. Corbett just stood off AfcGovern on every lead and trick, 'but the little Brooklyn boy went on as If ther were nothing to it but the winner's end of the purse. When McGovern was knocked: down in the opening round there were cries of dismay front his backers, but his wonderful recuperative powers were equal to the occasion and he was'on his feet within seven seconds.

Hokvever, this downfall seemed to take tbe stamina out of McGovern, but he fougat the round out In clever style an4 tried hard to stem the tide of defeat I which seemed to have set in against htm. He tried ail his rushing work, which proved s0 profitable on former occasions, but Corbett met his every curve and countered hard on the neck. Jaw and head. When Terry came back to his corner at the end of the first round he said: "That'ss the toughest guy" I ever met, but I'll lick him, just as soon as I see an opening." That opening did not com" very han dily, for the New York boy, as Corbett had taken his measure. Knocked Down a Second Down went Terry again in the sec ond round and when he got up quick ly he rushed like a wild man.

He showed a lack of self-restraint land jn i.u.st of bad tcmp -r nit out left ani right, irrespective of all rules and usages. These tactics, apparently, were Just what Corbett was looking for. Terry was mixing things lip with whirlwind velocity and throwing science to the winds. It was 'anyone's fight at this stage. but Terry fell into a trap, as Corbett tinted and suddenly sent his right out when McGovern was side stepping.

This blow- just grazed McGovern head, but a moment later Corbett feinted him again and, after a' rattling exchange sent his right over to the jaw and Terry went down and out. While the fallen champion was frantically trying to regain his feet the crowd yelled madly. The refee declared that the young' Denver lad had won. He won on his merits as he took chance tor chance. Terry was crestfallen after he returned to hts dressing-room.

He said: "Well, you can't tell how things can-be accounted tor. 1 'nope to make an other match with Corbett and I ani be able to. put it over me again Young Cofbett was very demure when lie emerged', from his dressing room. At first he wa reluctant to talk, but finally said: "I was isure I could beat McGovern, and my -opinion was based on what I had seen and heard of hirri.l I felt that I had him from the first punch, but I was cool-headed all through. neaa ana wnen ne lost nis neaa it; was an over, i naa Jiim ngnt mere and with a right swinging upper-cut I landed the blow which won the bat- tie."

Strong and the fireman were both hurled 300 feet, but although, cut and terribly jarred, they were not seriously injured. The immigrants and other passengers on train No. 13, were crushed between the Fplintered cars.

To add to the horror, the wreckage caught fire instantly, and in a short time the bodies of the dead and those of the injured who were pinned if were being burned. The scene that followed was heartrending in the extreme. The place where the wreck occurred was in the open country with but one farm near by and the faci'ities for aiding the in- jurea were extremely Inadequate. As SOon as the news of the disaster reached Superintendent Burns here a relief train was dispatched to the scene with! a score or more of surgeons on board. Farmers, from near-by those who escaped from the wreck alive mrde heroic efforts to rescue the jess fortunate.

The condition of the wreck was such that in the darkness it was impossi-j ble to render immediate kid. j. Immediate Aid Imposlblr. Immediately after the collision six of the cars of the west bound train, crowded with immigrants, burst into flames. The unfortunates fought madly In their attempt to crawl out of doors and windows, thus i hindering each other so that the bulk of them were unable to escape.

The immi-; grant train was made up of nine cars behind two engines. Six of these cars were jaremed together. Very soon the wreckage began burning fiercely, and those in the cars were slowly roasted to death. There was abso'utely no means at hand to fight the fire and the agonized shrieks of the poor unfortunates was appalling. "It was a cilia Cue hell of fire," said Victor C.

Greenbaum of New York city, who escaped with slight injuries. 'People who came hurrying to the scene from farm houses In that lo cality stood about the wreckage help iPrFiv anA held their hands to thed- cars to shut out the frightful screams and turned their eyes away because it was more than they could bear." The scene surrounding the wreck-was terrible. In the semi-darkness, illuminated only by the glare from the fire of the wreckage, men stumbled about over corpses which fell from the ruins and which, after the flames had died out, were hauled from the debris. Tnere they lay along the track, some COVered with blankets which had been brought by farmers who had flocked to tne scene from the surrounding COuntry.

WAtCOTT JACKSON, Police Chief Stop Figltt and Then i Let It Go On. 1 i BALTIMORE. Md, Nov. 28. Joe Walcott won tonignt from young Peter Jackson at ti.e end ot' twenty 1-ounds on points.

The fight was perhaps the fiercest ever seen in this city! Most of; it waa done by Woicott, Jackson being on the defensive from start to finish. Walcott sailed in from (the very first with the evident intention of finishing his man. as soon as possible, and simply rained blow after blow upon the Californian. I I Jackson took his gruelling with remarkable fortitude until the fi.teenth round, when Joe sailed; in, and after punching him all over ithe ring unintentionally tripped him so that Peter landed on his back near the ropes. The chief of police then interfered and ordered the fight stopped, to which decision Peter protested so vigorously that the chief relentedf and permitted the pounding to continue.

Five more rounds of the same of work ensued, Walcott doing all the leading and hitting, while Jackson with the exception of a few. feeble returns did nothing but defend-iirnself and try to keep on his feet. rir COMET VISIBLE. CHICAGO Seen Plainly by Onaerver In Weath er Bureau. CHICAGO.

111., Nov. 28. A comet was visible here in the southern isky this evening. Its position as viewea from the Auditorium, in which the United States weatner bureau is situated, was about ten dc-jgrees southeast from the zenith. It I-was difftcu.t to judge oil its length, for jthe reason that it was pointed directly ijpard and was, apparently going from the earth, but Proessor Cox, in charge ot the bu-reau, said tj.at, in his judgment, it was about two degrees long.

Nebraska 1 Haskell Nebraska snatched victory from defeat yesterday afternoon in the lat-t fifteen minutes of play, winning from the Haskell Indians by the score of It to 10. During tM early stages ot the game victory for iHaskell seemed certain. The wiry red men proved equal lo Nebraska both on offense and defense and In punting. The condition of the cornhuskers, however, was better than that of itheir opponents, anJ throughout the second half practlcully-all of the playing! was done in the visitors' territory.

The tables were turned and the red men were unable to withstand the terrific charges of the Nebraskans. During the first half Haskell scored two goals from the field, one being kicked from the thirty-five yard line. Twice during the, half Nebraska carried the ball toj a point within the ten yard line and on the second occasion the oval was all but over. The first time Referee McDonald penalized the cornhuskers, giving the ball to the visitors, while the second time it was lost on downs, ln spite of the most strenuous efforts of the home team, the men were unable to push the ball Across the line. 'Time and again they proved strong on otiense, out lUiiiu.mg and penalties kept them from gaining the desired points.

Sensational Sreond. The second half was filled with sensations. Haskell' kicked off to Drain, who brought the pigskin back thirty yards with a splendid run. Plllsbury followed with a 'long punt down the field, and end runs and line plungea carried the ball to a point within a. yard of the goal.

Here Nebraska was apparently held for downa. Pillsbury was pushed across the line, and avers that he called down, but Referee McDonald failed to recognize the call, and the visitors massed on the player and pushed him back Onto the field. As it was the third down, Nebraska lost the ball and the Indians kicked out of Once more the ball was forced down, this time within six Inches of the line, but the red men put up a splendid defense and secured the ball. The next timeJiowever, there was no stopping the Nebraskans. They swooped down on the red men like birds upon their prey, and by terrific charges aimed at the opposing line Plllsbury was forced across the line fifteen minutes before the final call of time.

Drain kicked goal. Bender's Look Run. Writh such encouragement, cornhuskers played iwith renewed efforts, and with almost superhuman strength swept their opponents before them and scored a second touchdown with ease. Less than minutes later, when the ball was far in, Nebraska's territory. Bender, right half for Nebraska, waa pushed hrough hole in the Haskell line which was! opened by Captain Westover and Right- Guard Brew, and before the half-dazed redskins realised what was happening the speedy half was' ten yards down the field, running as if for life or death, with the oval stowed away under his arm.

Behind him tame the jentlre Indlap eleven, but he was too! fleet for his pursuers and reached the goal line five yards nhead of the nearest man. Drain kicked the third making the final score 18 to 10. The little quarterback also tame in for glory just before the second touchdown, making a splendid un of forty yards around the Indiana' right end almost unaided, upon a fake play which the jvisltors failed to solve. Crowd jCotnea llarly. Mre than four "thousand people attended the gamfi; The crowd came early, was good natured, and a feeling of confidence was noted on every hand.

Nebraska was the favorite by big odds, and ithe cheering was all done for the cornhuskers. Very few sympathizers for the Indians were on the grounds, arid only scattered yells were heard proclaiming the strength of i the big braves.) The cadet band of i thirty pieces was on the ground, and led the sir ging. As usual, "Hot lime" was thej favorite song for the I crowd, and repeated calls for this ef-I fective means of rooting were heard. Another song was sung occasionally, al though it hael hot been learned by a mass of the people, and did not prove a favorite. It jas a paraody on "The Tale of the Kangaroo." Practically every seat In the grand stand was filled when play started at 2:30 o'clock The bleachers south of the stand and on the east side of th field, were black with humanity.

COLON, Colombia, Nov. 2S. The conference today between liberal and conservative representatives and the officers commanding the foreign warships here was not held on shore, but on board the United States gunboat Marietta in the harbor.

The commanding officers of the Marietta, of the British cruiser Tribune and of the French cruiser Suchet and Lieutenant Commander McCrea of the Machias and Captain Perry of the Iowa, were present, as were Generals Alban ani Jeffries, representing the government of Colombia, and Senor de la Rosa, secretary to General Domingo Diaz, who represented the liberal party of Colombia. No information of the result of this conference has been made public and none of the details of the understanding arrived at has leaked out. It can be said upon the best authority, however, that the liberals will surrender Colon tomorrow to the government, authorities.

The government forces, LOO strong, under General Alban, at Buena Vista, opened fire on tne liberal forces under Colonel Barrera. The latter were not entrenched, but having the choice of ground, occupied a small hid at Buena Vista. Tne fighting, which was of the most savage nature, lasted until 5:10 p. m. without stopping, when the government forces, owing to the great loss tney had sustained, were compelled to give way and retreated toward Frijolos.

Over 100 men were killed or wounded, the bodies lying all along the railroad. A train, on reaching Buena Vista, was unable lo pass owing to a pile of corpses blocking its passage. About twenty wounded men were taken to Panama on the evening train. The liberal loss was insignificant. It is said to be less than a dozen men.

Colonel Barrera is now twice a hero. Much regret is expressed at the tact that he was not detailed to prevent the passage of Barbacoa bridge. Forward Movement Stpped. The liberals at Colon are once more Jubilant, owing to the fact that General Alban's forward inarch has been stopped, coupled wit reasonable hops that General Domingo Diaz, with the reinforcements of liberals from Chor-rerra, will soon arrive on the scene ot action, and attack General Alban in the rear. This has changed the aspect of affairs at Panama.

Reinforcement of government troops, in small batches, have been joining General Alban continually. This is the anniversary of the independence of the isthmus, and has always been a holiday at both ends ot the railroad line, but now all is deep sorrow and gloomy forebodings rot many a crimson spot between Colon and Panama marks the place where a brave man has fallen. The leading merchants of called on the United States and British consuls Tuesday to ascertain what steps were to be taken to protect the town from possible violence, should, the state of affairs become more critli al. They were assured that marines from the warships would, in case of necessity, be landed to protect life and property. Ill-Feelina; Toward Perry.

WASHINGTON. Nov. 28. Naval officers here are disconcerted at the ill-feeling exhibited toward Captain Perry at Panama because he will not allow the railway to be used for the transportation of armed troops. Alter a careful examination of the precedents and the treaty under which tne United States is now made absolutely responsible for the safety of traffic across the, isthmus, they declare that Captain Perry had no alternative.

Had he allowed the Colombian government forces to use the road on the Panama end as they desired, he must of necessity have yielded the same right to the liberal forces who hold the Colon end of the line. The result would inevitably have b-en conflicts and the. provisional line would prevent the free transit that Captain Perry is there to maintain. Therefore this attitude is held by the navy department to be entirely correct. However, the fact is recognized that the situation is dangerous from an International point of view and it is hoped the pressure will be relieved speedily by the transfer of active military operations to some other field not near the Panama rail-wa y.

Secretary Long today received the following cablegram from Captain Perry, commanding the United States forces on the isthmus: PANAMA. Nov. 28. Secretary of the Navy, Washington: Parties fought near Buena Vista. Stopped firing while passenger trains passed.

Decisive engagement expected today about same place. (Signed) PERRY. THANKSGIYINti DAY ABROAD. Americans ii London nnd Berlin Observe It. LONDON.

The sand and gravel thus washed away was caHjiully examined for the precious metal. Of recent years hydraulic Power has been employed to almost reverse this process. Engineers, appreciating the great transporting and assorting power of water used in this way haVe availed themselves of it to build up instead of tear down the land; and by carefully guiding the material loosened by the force of the water they have been able to accumulate and arrange it almost at will.

The process has been found especially useful in the construction of dams. For example, if an earjth dam Is to be built, the material rolled along by the watex. is carried in flumes to the selected spot. On leaving Ithe flume email boulders and coarse gri.vel are at once deposited. Tne sand Hows on farther, and the fine mud is carried in suspension for considerable distances.

It is thus possible to deposit the gravel on the outer slope of tne dam and the finer material in the center, thus making a central impervious clay wall and heavy coating ot coarser gra-yel on the upper and lower faces of the; dam. The material being deposited under water is thoroughly compacted, and there is less danger of settlement orlof porous layers being formed than In the case of dirt placed by carts or scrapers. A number of dams, notably in southern California and in Texas have been built with extraordinary speed and small expense in this way and even high raiiroad embankments have been constructed in like manner, This method of construction of dams Is being made the subject of study by the division of hydrography of the United States geoloKlcal survey, in connection with investigations as to the feasibility of reclaiming the arid lands of the west.

Nov. 28. Five steerage stewards employed by one oj the trans-Atlantic lines were arrested in Hobo ken tonight by customs inspectors, who found the stewards" eldthing lined with Sumatra leaf tobacco1, which is very costly. Inspector Oj'Hare said that the men were engaged in a systematic attempt to pass the tobacco into the States wlthjout pying duty. He said that there was evildeiice that' 'or some time past the goods had been regularly delivered to a prominent tobacconist in New York.

Further ar rests would, he intimated, be madecin New York tomorrow. I survivors of both trains say that the ofcial iist does not bear out the of the passengers nor evl- lence of the horrible loss of life which they witnessed nt the spot where the accident orcurred. The Free Press tomorrow will saythat the loss of life was in round number one hundred, and lhat the statements made by the Italian immigrants on-train No. 13 bear out this claim. These Immigrants say that thsre were about 1-5 of their nationality on the trajn and that only about twenty-five of them escaped.

Think Ninety Ineinera.ed. While there are only ten of them known to be dead, it is asserted that the other ninety were completely Incinerated and that vlth the removal of the wreckage the bodies crumbled to rlust which was scattered by the win which swept across the country. If he nair.es of these dead are ever known- it will be when friends make inquiry for them, and In many instances this seems highly improbable. A Tribune staff correspondent, writ-ins; of the scenes about the wreck, nays: man was found who was an eye witness of, the collision. A.

W. Eiy. seventy years old, residing at Sene who stood at depot platform, saw the trains come together. Ely hurried to the wreck and was the first outsider on the ground. According to his state-onent the scene was one of awful horror.

When I got there the immigrant cars were aueauy uu me anu me shrieks of the burned and injured was, terrible. I got hold of one man in th-- collapsed car and pulled him out. He was horribly crushed and his legs were- broken, lie cuen almost as sewn as i him out or tne car. men i went the burning cars and what I sa i made me wish I had never gone to the wreck." The old man covered his face with his hands. "I don't believe more than fifteen of.

the Italians got out of ie wrecked cars, for I saw but very few. Those who did get out rushed around like razy men, calling to heaven for protection and weeping and nai'in? lr. 'heir horror. Those poor Italians Nothing could sbe done to save them and-we were simply compelled to ln them burn." Coroner Bea-tna Inquiry. Coroner Harpi'ton of Adrian thN aft-e-noon impanelled a jury and will begin an inquest Into the disaster tomorrow morning.

No 6teps have been taken at ye! toward the arrest of Engineer Strong whom Superintendent Burns says responsible for the collision and ho'ocaust. Considerable light was thrown on the cause of the disaster by the orders which the conductor of No. 13 showed as Ms authority for proceeding past Creek. The order, which was delivered to the train at HolToway. read as follows: order JX.

SS and 131 will double-head No. 13." It is understood that the engineer and conductor of No. 4 received a similar order at Montpeller. but if so these orders were disregarded. If it develops that the orders issued to both trains were to the same end.

it is con- sidered that the responsibility for the disaster rests wholly with the engineer and conductor of the eastbound Con- tinental limited. Following are latest llrs of dead P.n-? injured received from Wabash wreck: The Dead. WILLI. D. DOWD, Delray, flre- nan No.

Science was thrown to the winds and the boys began slugging.

McGovern waa very wild and they made a half circle of the ring fighting in this manner. At this it lookexi 1 ke anybody's fight should one of the vicious swinging blows land.
