of false news for speculative purposes a
criminal offence is move in the right
direction. The penalty is fine not
exceeding $4,000 and Imprisonment for
o period not exceeding three years. If
forgery of the name Of an officer of a
corporation is connected with such fraud.
the punishment is Imprisonment for a
term not exceeding five years. The pro-
posed legislation was originated by the
Governing Committee of the New York
Stock Exchange, in consequence of the
recent forgeries which, under the pres
ent law, come under the head of con-
spiracy to defraud, the punishment for
which is inadequate to the offence.

THE CANADA RAILROAD DISAS-
TER.

The burning passenger car on the
Great Western railway of Canada, Sum-
day night, remains as haunting pic
ture in the memory, after reading the
detailed descriptions given by passen-
gers of its fearful three miles journey.
George Moncrieff of Petrolia first dis
covered the fire. A kerosene lamp had
fallen in the forward saloon, and the
oil caught fire on the floor. He tried
quietly to wrench off cushion to stifle
the flames, and seems to have been so
self-possessed that one wonders why he
did not think to strip off his coat for
the purpose. But barely in a minute
the flames were through the thin parti-
ton, and the smoke was sweeping down
through the car, with the swift draught
naturally created by speed of thirty
miles an hour. The excitment be-
came panic. and Moncrieff, after
vainly trying to arrest the train by the
bell-rope, which did not reach the en-
CINE, climbed out of window and drop
ped. There were 35 passengers on the
train, and most of them had crowded to
the rear platform and dropped off, so
that the track for two miles was strewn
with burned and manned men and wo-
men, and their cries rent the air on all
sides, while the flaming car swept on
! Conductor Mitchell rushed through the
flames and climbed over smoking and
baggage cars and oil tanks to the engine
finally stopping the train after q dis
lance of three miles, but, in the six
minutes this had consumed, the car was
but a few fiery brands, and on its floor
the burned and unacceptable forms of
those who had been unable to escape be-
fore suffocation overlook them The
disaster adds to the almost innumerable
list Of casualties caused by that most
unsafe illumlnator, kerosene oil, whose
use on railways is certainly without ex-
cuse. 1t also certainly reflects the Sc
verest blame upon the railway company
and their employees, for the carelessness
that could send out train with no
means of communication between the
passenger cars and engine, whereby,
in time, the train might have been stop
| ped.

During the discussion Mr.. Garfield,
Of Ohio, said he would vote for that part
of the bill allowing free transmission

more of the public sentiment of that

number of country papers that could

continued. The weekly newspapers of
New York now came by mail into dis
tricts in Iowa 1900 miles off. and

EX-President Fillmore died at his res-
ldence In Buffalo, N. Y, last Sunday
night from the attack of paralysis, with
which he was seized, some days since.
Nj. Fillmore was born at Summer Hill
N. u IN 1900. His early days we're
divided between picking up an education.
learning the clothier's trade, cardine
wool, teaching school, and studying law,
the last begun at the age of 10. He was
admitted to the bar at %, and continued
to practice till 1929, when his political
life began with his election as member
of the State Assembly. This was fol-
lowed in 1892, by his election to Con.
gress, where he took a prominent part
IN the business of the House. At the
close of the term, in 1885, he resumed
his law practice until 1887, when he
was again elected to Congress and was
also reelected to the two following Con-
crosses. At the close of the 9th Con-
gress he declined to be a candidate for
reelection, and again resumed the prac.
tlce of law. In 1914 he was the unspc
cessfuL candidate of the wing party for
the governship of New York. but CON
tlnued to stick to the wings, and was re-
warded by an election, in 1917, to the
Office Of State Controller, and in lS4s
to the Viee-Presidency of the United
States. He renamed in that position
till the death of Gen. Taylor, July 9th
1850, elevated him to the Presidential
chair, his term expiring March 4, 1853

Collision Between the Steamers Amite and
Reliance.

On Wednesday night, about twelve
o'clock, the steamer Amite, Captain P.
Donnell, plying between the New canal and
Pensacola, on her outward passage to the
above port, came in collision with the
steamer Reliance from Pensacola to the
New canal, in the Rignlets about one mile
from the railroad bridge, the Relian ce
striking the Amite amidships, port side,
causing her to sink to from two to three
foot over her main deck. The Amite had
five cabin passengers on board, besides the
captain, officers and crew.
The Amite had on board nearly full car
60 al Of which will be more or less dam az
ed.
The passengers were taken off by the X e.
lance and brought to the city. The captain ),
mate, two engineers and the cook remained
with the vessel. The Ami;e lies in about
nine feet OF water, with every prospec. of
raising her in few days.
We learn from the officers Of the Reliance.
that the cause Of the disaster was owing to
a misunderstanding between the pilots of
the signals given and answered on the
boats. the Reliance blowing Two whistles
for the port side, bound in, the Amite
answering by one whistle.
The Amite was not insured. The Re-
lance received 10 damage.
