While travel lug along the railroad track on their way to tho burial ground, the party C'lini! to a place where the railroad Hack run3 parallel with the main thoroughfare. When the wagon eam close to a crossing, the whistle of tho engino v;a..i heard, it Is said, hut Weaver either did not hear the whia tl", and drove onto the crossing or clac the two mules that were hitch ed to the wagon became frightened and ran on the track. At any rate, the animals crossed the track and then, loping their heads, reared up and down, refining to morve forward. ' Ay soon as the engine turned the curve, close to where the mules Ktood, Engineer Taylor Hayncs, of this city, saw the team and blew the whistle. It is his opinion that the mules in fame frightened at the whit tle and dashed on the track. 1 Jut the engin'rr cop id not stop his engine, in , the space alloled to him, and the pilot tlruek the wagon just between the fore and hind wheels. The occupants of the wagon were instantly killed and fearfully mutilated. When the engine was finally stopped one of tho dead men was found on the running board., tlx; other slain were fastened to the pilot. The corpse was also on the pilot cf the engine. The mules were un hurt. New York, Special. Twenty-one men, three women and a ten-months-old babe were burned to death or suf focated in a fire that started early Sun day morning In the House of All Na tions, a- five-Btory tenement at No. 426 Eleventh avenue, and which the police and coroner believe to be of incendiary origin. Some of the peculiar features of the disaster, in addition to the startling loss of life, are that the fire was prac tically extinguished in 20 minutes; that the police could learn of but one per Bon being injured, other than those who lost their lives, and that the prop erty loss was only $7,000. The dead are mostly Italians. The only person injured, so far as can be learned, is Mary Jane Quinn, 47 Suspected flan Runs. The train did nut stop at l'elnam, and ; Uftarioxte, special.

Eechtel responded: "I wish you were here with me now, that we might die together." These were the last words heard from IJechtel. A short time later Eck stein called Hechtel and got no answer, but he thought h3 heard an unusual gurgle. House Sergeant Frank G. Hoth had been through the cells only a short time before.
