dent occurred on the Grand Trunk railway at $50
o'clock this morning, which resulted in the in
slant death OF the engineer, the serious wound
ing OF the fireman, baggagemaster, two express
men and various injuries to number Of pas
sengers. The train was the 10 D. M express
from Montreal to Toronto and consisted of six
Pullman sleepers four first and second class cars,
postal, express and baggage car. The cars
were well filled with returning excursionists
from Montreal. who were nearly all asleep. The
train arrived at Prescott Junction on time, and
the Ottowa sleeper was there attached
to it. After leaving Prescott there is

last. An obstruction was encountered and
the locomotive jumped the track, carrying the
tender, baggage, mail, express, smoking and

ties fully thousand yards, when the engine
went down an embankment, the tender passing
by, together with the express car, and landing
on the other side Of the track. The baggage
car went still further on, and the body was
thrown off alongside the fence. In fact, every
car except the sleeper was thrown upside down.
The express car was smashed into kindling
wood, while nothing remains of the tender but
few pieces of iron. 1t istruly wonderful how
the passengers escaped instant death. When
the passengers recovered from their fright

but soon recovered. His shoulder was dislocated
aud his arm sprained. How the two express

lives is mystery. Their ear was crushed to
splinters and Mackenzie, though injured HIM
