Belleville, Can, June 23.-The
night express went down past this
place at 1920, yesterday morning,
full of passengers, among whom were
many ministers of the English
Church, on their way homeward from
the synod at Toronto. About elev-
en- miles below Belleyille station the
engine jumped the track, carrying
death and fearful torture to scores OF
passengers in the forward cars. The
baggage car remained on the track
and telescoped thessmoklng car and
second-class passenger car, leaving
them on top Of the engine, exposed
to the escaping steam from the boil
er. Here the poor creatures were
,hopelcssIy penned in for some time,
breathing vapors of death, and snt-
fering all the agony of immersion IN
= boiling cauldron Of super'heated
water. .. NJ. Roddy, an eye-wlt-
ness, says that Immediately after the
disaster he went to the second-class
car. 1t and the smoking car were
telescoped and on the locomotive,
the steam from which, issuing from
the cars, was so dense that ne could
gee nothing.
