hence the House put n clause into the do

carried. Whether the object WAS 10 in

Another Appalling Railroad Disaster.


One of the most terrible railroad di,as.
icrs ever reported occurred on the Lake
Shore Road, near Angola, ON Wednesday
last, resulting in the death Of sixty rcr,or s
and the severe wouudng Of many others.
1t appears that the next to the last car Of
the train was thrown from the track on
striking the iron frog at the switch, at
Angola Station, and was dragged over
the ties nearly to the bridge before the
car behind it became unscatcd from the
rails. Just "a the train rcaci ed the
bridge the rear car was .ierked from the
track and ran nearly across the bridge,
when il topped over and went down with
fearful crash, end foremost to The flat
below, forty feet at least Nearly all ai
the passengers were preciptatel into a
mange1, struggling mass, and were buried
under heap Of ruins wluch took fire and
burned and charicd the bodies until mrny
OF them were past recognition. Medical
assistance was procured Us soon as possible
from Buffalo, an the oil .crs of the road
are using every possible means to relieve
the stuff rings OF the wounded. 1t docs
not yet appear who is responsible for this
terrible disaster.
