and sixty badly wounded. They were
mostly secOnd-class passengers.

Further particulars of the accident on the
Grand Trunk railroad in Canada, between
Toronto and Montreal, are as follows The
unfortunate train contained many minis
ters of the English Church, en- route from
the Toronto Synod. About eleven miles
below Belleville station, the engine jumped
the track, carrying death and fearful tor
lures to scores of passengers in the forward
cars. The baggage car remained on the
track and telescOped the smoking car and
second-elass passenger car, leaving them
on top of the engine, and exposed to the
escaping steam from the boiler Here the

the accident he went TO the secOnd-class
car: it and the smoking car we're telescoDed
