A few days ago two gentlemen were deslr
GUS of each purchasing a trunk, and to effect
the same went TO an auotion-house. The sales
were in progress when they arrived Very
soon several secondhand trunks were offered,
and our friends bid on the same. One Of
them purchased a fne-looking article of the
kind wanted, and then bid oa on an oldsr and
much worn one for his friend The latter,
however, refused to accept the purchase on
the ground that the trunk was not worth the
money paid for it-six bits. Having it on his
hands, the gentleman resolved reluctantly to
make the best Of bargain, and had it sent 10
his room. There he proceeded to open it,
when he was surprised to find that il contained
lot Of articles. Among them he found
bundle otletlers apparently showing that the
trunk had once belonged 10 a military officer,
who had been stationed at some camp in Ari-
iona. After rummaging about for while and
regretins his foolish purchase, he found in
the bottom small bag containing several
rich specimens Of gold bearing quartz, some
moss agates, aud beautiful large amathyst.
These relics Of life in a mining country he
took 10 a lcweer, VINO informed him that the
moss agates were unusually fine and worth
s75. The ame'hys' proved to be rare speci-
men, and was valued at S900.-Sdn Fran

THE BELLEVlLLE HORROR.

THE RECENT CANADIAN RAILROAD ACCT
DENT AS DESCRIBED by AN EYE.wIr-
MESS.
Mr.. Robert Nelson Roddy, who witness
ed the recent accident near Belleville,
makes the following statement to the
Toronto Globe:
81 reside ut Peterborough, and am
manager for Mr.. Watson, who has the
contract for building the Dominion tel
egraph line from that place to Barrie. On
the night of Friday last took the train
at Port Hope for Brookville, having with
me eleven men who had been working for
me, and to whom had granted four days'
leave of absence, to allow Of their visiting
their families, all Of whom lived in the
lower province. They were all steady,
working men. l was in the smok-
ing-car, and after remaining short time,

foreman to come with me into the first.
class part Of the train but he declined to
do so. l then returned there alone and
lay down upon the seat, when l suddenly
felt jar, as some Of the cars in the fore
part Of the train were tipping over. l
tried to open the window Of the car was
in, but it appeared to be jammed, and l
got out Of the door and ran to see what
was the matter, but for short time could
not do so for the dense cloud Of steam.
After a moment or two, managed to get
to the front of the train, and from there
into the uppermost side of the second
class car. ! tried to open the
windows; but, finding could
not do so, ran round to the platform side
of the smoking car, and got crowbsr out

then commenced to break the windows
of the second-class car, and several of the
men came out through them, ! smashed in
the door, vnd, as the steam had pretty we'll
dispersed, went In and found some of the
men sitting In their seats, apparently stun
ned and unconscious. Conductor Nelson,
the Pullman car conductor, and two vol.
unteers from Port Hope-one of them was
named Skitch-then came in, and we went
to the middle of the car and saw that the
side was completely smashed in, and there
were many Of the passengers buried
among the ruins. We Immediately com.
menced lifting them out, and as was thus
engaged, I found two little children lying
IN the bottom Of the car and quite dead.
The clothes of all those ! touched were 10

truded right into the car, and I do not
think there vas . particle Of water two
minutes AFTER the engine went over on ito
side. When all the passengers had been
got out, I went 70 look at the engine, and
saw Hilbert the driver lying between the
engine and broken truck Of one OF the cars

fore they could be removed. The sight
was an awful one. As soon - the men got
into the cool night air, they began to suf-
fer dreadfully, and their cries were fright.
full TO hear. They tore their clothes of,
and many Of them jumped the fence and fed
across the fields, crying out the whole time
most pitifully. One man got away
at least q quarter of . mile be-
fore I could catch him, and an
other was half . mile of when he
was found. Belleville was communicated
with, and train was soon upon the spot |;
but before II arrived the scslded people
began to complain Of cold, 90 with some
Of the loose planks we made fires, and rig
ged up shelters from the wind. The peo--
pie were then placed on the train and
taken to Belleville. Most of my men had
considerable sums of money with them.
The damage done was strictly confined to
the two cars mentioned, tho second class
and the smoking. The postoface attached,
with its occupants, escaped by something
little short Of . miracle. The frst-class
and Pullman cars, Though the former got
of the track and their passengers sus-
tanned no injury. 1t is most singular
thing that, among all the number Of killed
and wounded, with about two exceptions,
viz, the rsand: ,another man, those
injured did not sustain the slightest con-
tusions; but the scalds were something
beyond all description. A visit to Belle
vile freight shed on Saturday evening was
sufficient TO unstring the strongest nerves,
and create feeling Of pity in the hardest
heart. There, stretched out upon the tres
tie beds or mattresses laid upon the floor
amongst tie goods, were some so fearful
looking objects, some writhing abou. in
the scutest agony. Others, exhausted by
the pain they were suffering from the
scalds and the steam they had inhaled, lay
perfectly passive while some kind female
or man dressed their hurts with cooling
lotions, or kept current Of air about them
with fans. The poor creatures, with their
swollen and bandaged features and limbs,
presented an appearance which can never
be effaced from the memories fthose who
saw them. The patients whom death
early released from their agony passed
away, without exception, in the quietest
manner. No struggle, no painful gasping
for breath, but they seemed to sink into
q doze, which gradually changed into the
sleep of DEATH"
