Late News From the Scene of the Mexican Wreck. THEMANGLEDBODIES Lie Decaying in the Sun, Piled Like Cord Wood. NEW YORK DISASTER. Rescuing Gang Recovers Bodies of Victims--Two Still Buried. ST.

Louis, March City of Mexico special says that the Mexican government has commenced a rigid examination of the train men and officials of the Inter-Oceanic railroad i an attempt to fix the culpability of the terrible railway disaster of Thursday upon the parties to blame. The engineer, conductor and brakernan on the ill-fated train were examined yesterday and fuller reports of the disaster are expected to-day. The engineer was John Neufer, and the conductor, J. H. Steele, both Americans, The chief of police of Tenango, with some mounted rurals, had the bodies of the dead laid out on the bank for identiQcation and the arrival of the oflicials, and refused them to be brought to the city, awaiting complete official examination of the scene of the wreck.

The bodies, terribly mangled, lie decaying in the sun, piled up like cord-wood. The entreaties of friends and relatives have thus far been of little avail in gaining possession of the remains of the unfortunate excursionists, the greater part of whom will be buried to day in a great trench, being dug near the track. So far as can be ascertained, all the killed and wounded were of the lower class. No persons of any prominence nor any foreigners were in the accident. The locomotive engineer immediately disappeared but was afterwards captured at Chalco.

He, as well as the conductor and other trainmen, are held as prisoners, pending the oflicial investigation. NEW YORK, March 2--A gang of 100 men toiled all night at the work of removing the huge pile of debris in the buildings, Nos. 151,158, 155 and 157 Orchard street, which partly collapsed yesterday afternoon. The work was carried on by calcium light without intermission from the moment of the crash, and between 4 and 5 o'clock this morning the workers' efforts were rewarded by the recovery of two bodies from the wreck. Two more are believed to be still buried in the ruins, and two of the injured died in the hospital during the night.

At present, therefore, the list of killed and maimed stands as follows. KILLED. JAMES WILKINSON, 21 years old, Astoria, back broken; died in Bellevue Hospital last night. JOHN THORNTON, Astoria, fractured thigh and skull; died in Gouver- nour hospital last night. JOHN MARLI, 342 East Eleventh street, New York, died when taken from the ruins at 4:40 a.

The bodies of Marli and Ross were found close together at the very bottom of a pile of debris, weighing at least 100 tons, which filled up the basement of No.

155. Both men were hod carriers and at the time of the collapse had evidently been walking with their hods on their shoulders over a plank gangway in the basement towards an opening in the wall between Nos. 155 and 153, where a door was to be fixed on the completion of the building. The body of Marli was found within a yard of this doorway, literally crushed into a mummy by two heavy planks. The hod of bricks lay across his broken shoulder, and almost every bone in his body had been smashed.

Ross, whose body was half reclining in virtotiiro InT' tKrcick vnrfla away, and his hod had been thrown by the" falling masonery a few feet distant. A heavy stone crashed down upon his abdomen, crushing the life out of him instantly. He was married and had several children. The bodies were removed to the Eldridge street station house and laid out there in the back room to await the arrival of the coroner. The two men who are believed to be still missing are believed to lie under the debris of the basement of 153, and on the other side of the party wall or else under a heap of ruins which still remain undisturbed on the west side of the building in the basement of No.

155. It is impossible that they can be alive as no living creature could have possibly survived under the huge pile of thet fell, but never the less the work of clearing awy the ruins is going on without a break, that no chance of succor will be left un- Uied. At 1 o'clock this morning another body was taken from the ruins. It was identified as that of Joseph Marro, an Italian laborer. He was 31 years of age and lived at 342 First avenue.

The Murderer's Daring Deed--Sensation at Toledo. VALLEYFIELD, March town of Valleyfield had a sensation last night in the shape of a double murder and attempted robbery. The paymaster of the Montreal Cotton John Lowe, assisted by two office clerks, J. Loy and Hugh Wilson, were making up the pay roll for Monday. Mr.

Shortis, who is lately private tary to the manager of the mill, entered the office about 11 p. m. Paymaster Lowe always keeps a loaded revolver close at hand and when the clerks had about finished their work, Shortis reached over the counter and grabbed the revolver. He first shot Wilson in the left side and Lowe and Loy, thinking it an accident, to his assistance. Loy then started to telephone for a doctor, but as he reached the instrument Shorlis took deliberate aim and fired, shooting him dead, the bullet piercing TELEdRAPH BREVITIES.

Lowe seeing how matters were, grabbed the pay boxes, which contained $25,000, and ran into the vault with them, pulling the massive door closed after him. Shortis called to him to come out, saying he would not injure him, but Lowe refused. While Shortis was trjing to get the vault open, Wilson, the wounded man, managed to crawl out of the place and give the alarm to two men who were at work outside. Before these men reached the office, however, the night- watchman entered and was met by Shortis, who shot him dead.

Shortis then cut the wires of the telephone to Shut off all communication with the outside and made another attempt to get into the vault. The two workmen entered the office at this juncture, and as Shortis' revolver was now empty, they soon overpowered him. John Loy, the first victim, was a most promising young man tuiri the eldest son of Mayor Loy. Wilson, the wounded man, is in a very critical condition and grave fears are entertained as to his recovery. Paymaster Lowe was imprisoned in the vault for three hours before tho doors could be opened and as his health had not been good ho is seriously prostrated.

TOLEDO, March Peter Peney was found dead on the steps of Dr. Eddons drug store, in Tontogany, at 11 o'clock last night with a bullet in her neck. After her husband retired she left her home unknown to him and in half an hour was found dead. The lady was well known, of good character and tho affair has created a profound sensation. Attorney H.

C. Hanna, representing Editor Leonard, stated that the article was written not with a view to criticize the court openly or by innuendo and that his client was willing to so inform the court. Mr. Hanna's motion to quash the writ on the ground that it was contrary to decisions by the supreme court was overruled by the court. Mr.

Hanna then asked for time to file an answer and exceptions to the rulings of the court on the point in the case and he was granted till next Monday morning at 9 o'clock. There was another feature of the case which developed during the arguments, which although pertinent to the cause, was entirely unexpected. Judge Dawson turned toward Attorney Harris Daniel McKinnie's attorney, and said substantially: "If 1 find that anyone has been guilty of a breach of con- Gdence of this court he shall be disbarred from practice. 1 This indicates that the judge made some confidential statements -to tho attorneys in dismissing the McKinnie- Souder et al. suit and that some these confidential statements may have been published in the Gazette article The hearing of the case may in consequence result in some rather unexpected features.

Mr. Hanna's answer however, may in a measure obviate the necessity of going into the details of an extended investigation by th court. $25,000 DAMAGES. Eugene Votis, a former Pennsyl vania brakeman, to-day commenced a suit in the circuit court through hi attorneys, Ninde Ninde to recove $25,000.

This morning Attorney P. W. Schaden, who is defending John Sing Lee, a Chinaman, on trial in the circuit court for larceny, objected to Deputy Sheriff John Ryan selecting the jury, as Ryan was a prosecuting witness in case. The court held that it was be duty of the sheriff to find criminals and to prosecute them, and thought that in selecting the jury Ryan was simply performing a duty required by aw. Ryan, however, politely declined to act, and called in another deputy iheriff.

Along back in 1892 a company was organized at Gallon, 0., for the construction of a railroad, to be known as the Eastern Central, the ultimate purpose of which was to parallel the Pitts burg, Fort Wayne Chicago from Chicago to the Smoky City in Pennsylvania.

A survey was started, and towns on the proposed route began raising funds to aid the project. The financial depression, however, came up on the country, and the surveying and other movements stopped. The company is now addressing letters to in terested persons, stating that tho work will be resumed in the spring, and the road pushed to completion. Thi road is to run twenty to thirty mile; distance from the Pittsburg, For Wayne and Chicago, but will be, it is claimed, more of an air line than th latter. It is to be thirty miles shorte than any other line between Chicago 1 i JL NICKEL PLATE CONDUCTORS.

Bon, Mr. and Mrs. Henry Eebe SAX FRANCISCO, March pondence of the United Press per teamer City of Pekin: "ToKio, Feb. 1C -Another chapter the war between Japan and China las closed with the fall of the power- ul fortress of Wei-Hal-Wei and the destruction or the celebrated Pel Yang quadron. Throughout the whole of January 31st, tempest raged, but on he forenoon after February 1st ts fury abated.

How the troops lamping out on the eastern promintory 'ared during that interval, no one has et undertaken to tell. Their suffer- ngs must have been terrible. Friday, Teb. 1, saw them again in motion. L'wo battalions moved rapidly along to to reconnoitre.

They encountered no resistance. The Chinese solders, more prudent than their comrades of the sea, had taken advantage the storm to effect their escape, and ihe forts were found deserted. But were also dismantled. For the irst time in the history of the war, the Chinese had been sufficiently thought- ul to take care that the weapons they lad abandoned should not be service- ible against themselves afterwards. On the 2d of February the Japanese ships moved out of Yung Chang bay.

The storm had lost its violence and the now fall had ceased, but the cold was ntense. Wherever the waves broke over the vessel, it left flakes of ice and blocks from three to five inches thick rozen in the throats of the guns. That light the torpedo boats attempted to jut a passage through the booms at the eastern channel. namite was ised as a last resort but without success. The following day a portion of the fleet bombarded the forts on Zhih and Liu-Kung slands, but owing to the configuration of the ground, the fire from the ships had little effect.

That from the forts was equally inocuous, one shell only inding its way home. The Tsukushi- Kan, a steel cruiser of 1,372 tons, was the sufferer. She was in no way disabled by the shell, but two of her men were killed and several wounded. The abortive results of this attack made it clear that the torpedo boats alone could solve the situation, For the passage of these little crafts the eastern channel offered a sufficient depth, if only the booms could be cut. Of submarine defences no serious danger existed; the connections had been severed as far as pra2ticable; sufficiently at any rate to satisfy the brave men.

It had now become plain, however, from the experience of the nights of Jan. 30 and Feb. 2d, that the only method of dealing with the booms was to remove a portion of their eastern shore end. That, however, entailed navigation among perilous rocks and shallows, but the risk had to be taken. The commander of torpedo flotilla was abia to report to Admiral Ito on the morning of Feb 4 that a passage, dangerous but practicable, had been opened into the bay and it was determined to utilize it that night.

Japanese official reticence deprives us of any information as to the manner of selecting the torpedo boats to be employed on this most hazardous duty. The torpedo flotilla numbered twenty-three vessels. As soon as the moon set at 2:50 a. in. on Feb.

5, nine boats moved around the east end of the boom and advanced up the bay. They had to get within 400 metres of their object. It was pitch dark and they were steaming at full speed over unknown rocks and shallows, and in a few moments the electric lights on board the Chinese vessels and on Li-Kung island must bring them under the fire of sixteen men-of-war and gunboats. How they lived through that fire is marvelous. One received in her engine room a shell that killed or wounded every man there and crippled her machinery.

Two others struck sunken rocks and received injuries that disabled them. Two others tound that waves freezing in their orsedo tubes had rendered them un- ervicable, But the remaining four eld on, though one of them was hit forty-six rifle bullets and eotehkiss hots, and smother by ten rifle bullets.

A similar appendix to the sentence was read in the case of Bertelmann arid hj also was set free. The prisoners exhibited much nervousness while their sentences were read.

They donned their prison suits immediately. Gulick was lirot to appear ia the new garb. '1 he trousers coat and hat were of black ami white stripes. The sentence of Capt. Davis has not yet been aimouncul.
