Under way, and is Consumed
Eight Lives LOst-Names Of
Victims.

MONTREAL, March "A fearful acci-
dent occurred on the Great Western railway
last Saturday night. The Sarnia accommo-
dation train left London at half-past SIX
O'Clock in the evening, and consisted or
empty tank-cars and baggage, and second
class cars and coach. When seven miles
west OF London the coach took fire in the sa-
loon at the forward end, ard it is supposed by
the falling of lamp. The hre was not dls-
covered until the interior of the saloon was
completely hlled with flames, whlch spread
through the coach instantly. The passengers
were compelled TO jump from the rear OF the
platform and through the windows. The
train was stopped as quickly as possible, but
before they could be extricated eight persons
were fatally sufocated and burned. Those
identified were Miss Harriet Dunn, Comoka,
Wisconsin; Miss Hurvis, of Petrolia; Master
Burnham, Petrolia; McKellar, a school
teacher, of Strathroy; Annie Scortlif, child,
of ComOka; sn Indian woman and infant
Those seriously hurt are j. b. Horsen, OF
Simcoe; J. L. Robinson, of Waterford; Nc

senger car lying in this city and at Komoka
are progressing favorably. The coroner left
to-day Tor Komolza, to commence taking evil
dence. Among the burned remains there is a
face that is perfectly recognizable as that OF
one OF the unfortunate young ladies. locket
she wore was found on her neck in an ex-
cellent state of preservation. Last night
eight collins left this city for KOkoma station.
Yesterday afternoon, in searching among the
wreck. a number of gold nuggets were found,
supposed to be melted jewelry; also two gold
watches, which have been identified. Seven
bodies have been identified, and the remains
Of others still left, and IL is supposed that
more than were first reported were burned
with the car. Two gentlemen of Petrolia are
still missing, and they were understood to be
on the train.

gard to newspaper exchanges, and
exempting weekly newspapers from
postage within the county in which
they are published. A resolu-
ton was passed in the house under
a suspension of the rules, giving pre-
ference to disabled soldiers, their wives,
widows, daughters, and sisters
in retaining government en-
ployes. After the expiration of
the morning hour, the house took
up the tariff bill, which was discussed
up to the hour of adjournment. The
bill in relation to the acceptance and
removal of the statue of Thomas Jeffer-
son to the old hall of tie house of rep
resentatives passed the senate. A peti-
ton was received in the senate from the
citizens of Missouri, asking an
appropriation for the removal of
distinctions from the mouth of
the Mississippi. The centennial bill was
taken up in the senate, and argued at
length, the point upon which all the
discussion hinged being whether it
should be international or national, and
at the hour of adjournment was no
nearer result than when first intro
