The first intimation of an accident was when the motorman felt the 'car swing into the curve, Realizing the peril, he applied the brakes and reversed the power. The weight of a number of men on the running .board and the momentum sufficed to derail the great car and throw it into the road twenty feet from the track, where it fell on its side between a tree and a guide post. Seven of the passengers were pinioned between the car and instantly • killed. The shrieks and groans of the other passengers gave evidence of the terrible injuries.

The rescuers again raised the tar from the ground, and by building a pile of heavy stone, kept it in position while the dead and injured were removed. Math -hi, June 4. ---The police are on the track of the accomplices of Manuel Mor ales, the would-be assassin of King Al- fonso and Queen 'Victoria, who committed suicide Saturday at Torrejon de Ardos after having shot the rural guard who arrested him. His confederates, it is now known, assisted Morales in escaping and gave him shelter on Thursday and Fri- day nights. It is believed that Morales used an automobile in escaping from Madrid and a canvass of all the automo- biles is going on. The movements of Morales in his flight have been traced through the suburbs, where he exchanged his clothes. The reward of $5,000 offered for the apprehension of the would-be regicide will be distributed among the widow and five children of the guard who appre- hended Morales. A popular subscription will also be raised for the widow. The personal visits and attentions of the Grand Duke Vladimir to the officers wounded by the explosion of Morales' bomb have caused a committee of offi- cers of the garrison of Madrid to present the Grand Duke with an address of thanks. ss.
