Prefect I^epine summoned a large force of doctors and municipal officials, who superintended the removal of the bodies. The number of corpses brought up from the angle where the mass was wedged, was so large that four and eight bodies were placed In each ambulance. Many of the victims had handkerchiefs stuffed in their mouthe, having evidently tried to keep out the asphyxiating smoke. Some women held their children tightly In their' arms. As the firemen brought out the bodies agonizing cries went up from women and children who recognised their dead husbands and fathers. The clothing of the victims Indicated that they were almost entirely seccnd-class passengers. There were several Q-rat class coaches on the train, and it U believed that their occupants were also among the victims. The body of one of the women was handeomeljr dressed, while two among tbe maler victims Vrere evidently persons of Importance. About 7 o'clock In the morning ths bodies of ten women were brought out in a bunch.

By 8:30 o'clock this morning the total of the bodies lying at the morgue had reached 40, and the total at the barracks of the municipal guard 44 making a totl of 84 bodies. At 9 o'clock the number ofb odtes was unofficially estimated at above 100. Causs of the Accident.

Simultaneously the electric lights on the tram went out, leaving the passengers in total darkness, except for the light of the burning engine far ahead. This Impeded the progress of the trains toward Menllmontant. The terrorstricken passengers got out and tried to grope their way back. The powerful electric current which continued I in the rails Is believed to have stunned or Killed many.

A terrible panic occurred among them behind, and the horror of the situation was Increased by a third train crashing Into the fierce mass and adding another crowd of panic-stricken passengers to those seeking an outlet.

August 11.?Today all over Mecklenburg county the citizens will pass upon the issuing of $2)10.000 worth of bonds fftr road im, provements. For the past two months this question has been paramount in the minds of the people of this county. At first there was considerable opposition to tho issuing of bonds, because the people suspected that a bond issue of this magnitude would certain ly increase taxes.

The general impression is that the people will vote the bonds. LIVER TROUBLES 1 "I find Thcdford's Black-Draught a (rood medicine for liver disease.
