Such dele- gates to a development convention would do great credit tothe chair- man of the county board and the entire county. MAJESTIC THEATER EDW.

LIKE RATS IN A TRAP Coaches Hurled From Bridge Go Through Thick Ice and Occupants Have No Chance for Escape—Only Eight Persons Saved From the Sub- merged Cars, All the Others on Board Being Drowned. North Bay, Ont, Jan. 24—Esti- mates of the number of persons killed when four cars of a Canadian Pacific passenger train plunged down an em- bankment ‘uto the ice covered Span- ish river vary from forty to fifty. The official list of known dead issued by the railroad company numbers eight and the injured twenty-four. The cars are still buried in the river with only their ventilators showing above the broken ice and the number of dead which they contain may not be known for several days, although the railway company is making efforts to raise the sunken cars. Eighteen of those killed were in the second class car and most of them were foreigners, whose names are difficult to ascertain. It is known that there were sixty pas- sengers in the first class car and it is believed there are five bodies in the dining car. Of the injured four died and others are in a dying condition. The train when it left Sudbury car- ried in the neighborhood of 100 souls. It was made up as follows: Engine, mail and baggage car, express, second class coach, colonist, first class coach, dining car and Pullman. Spanish river is thirty-eight miles from Sudbury. The railroad at this point cuts into the-side of a hill and crosses the river over an iron bridge. Going at a Fast Rate of Speed. The bridge wus approached at a fast rate of speed and the engine, mail, baggage and express cars were on the structure. From reasons not yet as- certained the trucks of ~the second class coach jumped the track. The coach struck the bridge abutment and was split in two as clean as though with a huge cleaver. The momentum of the train carried the half of the second class coach, the colonist car, first class car and dining car down the bank and into the river. The Pullman fell over on its side near the tracks. J Caught like rats in a trap every pas- senger on the half of the second class coach, colonist car and first class coach was drowned and only the most heroic efforts saved eight persons from the diner. With such force were the cars hurled down the bank that they cut a wide swath in the twelve-inch thick- ness of ice which covered the river. Even if any persons succeeded in breaking through a window they were almost surely trapped under the ice and never had a chance for their lives. This is true of half of the sec- ond class car, the colonist car and the first class car, from which omnly two are known to have escaped. BODIES TERRIBLY MANGLED Fifteen Men Killed by Premature Ex- plosion of Nitroglycerin. Fishkill Landing, N. Y., Jan. 24— Fifteen men were killed in a prema- ture explosion of nitroglycerin in a tunnel which is to form part of the great aqueduct which will carry water from the Ashokan dam-in the Catskills to New York city. Five were terribly mutilated, but were 50 near the mouth of the tunnel that they were rescued alive. The oth- er fifteen were found beneath a mass of rock and debris, literally ham- mered by the force of the explosion into a bleeding mass of heads, limbs and torsos. The cause of the explosion has not been ascertained, but it is believed that one of the workmen, carrying a torch, tripped and fell, igniting a fuse and setting off a series of charges of nitroglycerin.

Philadelphia, Jan. 22. — Counter propositions looking toward the end- ing of the shirtwaist makers’ strike in this city were made by both the op- erators and the manufacturers. The operators, in a communication to the manufacturers, suggested that the is- sues be submitted to a board of arbi- tration. The manufacturers, in reply, stated their willingness to submit the points at issue to a board as propose.l by the strikers and offer to put up a bond for §$50,000 that they will carry out its decisions. They stipulate, how- ever, that they will continue to main- tain open shops and only take back as many of their former employes as they need. FLOCDS IN FRANGE - GAUSE HEAVY L0SS Despite Serious Conditions Few Persons Perish. Paris, Jan. 22.—Reports received from East and South France state that as a result of the floods in those sec- tions all factories have been com- pelled to close because their employes cannot reach them. The farms have been swept clear of crops and live stock and it is esti- mated by the public works depart- ment that the loss will reach several million dollars. The lawless elements are taking ad- vantage of conditions to reap a har- vest and reports say they are looting .abandoned homes and factories. All available military is being sent into the flood region to do guard duty and aid the inhabitants. Despite the magnitude of the floods there has been practically no -loss of life. Only two drownings are report- ed, while as the result of a train run- ning into a washout at Dehault two others were killed and seven hurt. The river Seine is still rising and the storehouses along the docks are flooded to their second stories. There has been much looting here and the troops have been assigned to aid the police in keeping the lawless element in check. Telegrams received in Paris from Berlin state that the Rhine, Moselle and Saar rivers are out of their banks, that flood conditions are gemeral in Western and Southern Germany and that farmers have been driven from their homes and compelled to take ref- uge in the hills. The damage in Ger- many, however, will be small, as the inhabitants had warning and were able to save their movable property. POLICE SAVE LITTLE ONES Insane Mother Attempts to Kill Her Four Children.
