Panic on a Railway Train.

An Ottawa special says: An accident
happened on mixed train on the Kingston
and Pembroke railway this evening, which,
although not accompanied with fatal re-
suits, VIII long be remembered by the ter
rihed passengers, who miraculously es-
capped horrible death. The train was
composed Of a passenger and baggage
car, forward Of which were platform cars
carrying coal. The passenger-car was filed
with large number OF the representatives
Of the Grand Division OF Ontario and the
members Of the Church OF England Mission
Board, which bad Just closed its session al
Kingston. Soon after passing Verona, while
the train was running at a high rate OF
speed, an explosion occurred near the stove
in the rear OF the pasSengeT-car. IL was
thought at first that the stove bad fallen
down, but instantly the car was lighted up
with bright flame. A suiiocating
gas, which filed the ear. caused an
immediate rush for the door by the
terrified passengers, who fled, leaving
their traps. The platform. steps. and
doorway OF the en- were soon iammed, aud
numbers were held back, unable TO get out
for some time. During The panic the bell
rope, by being pulled on from both sides,
broke, without giving a signal to the en-
gineer to stop. The train was rushing
along at thirty miles an hour. and it was
with difficulty that the passengers were
prevented from jumping off. In the mean
time some one ran through the baggage
car. and, shouting over coa-cars. brought
the engineer to sense OF the danger, and
he brought the train TO stop.
Passengers and tran-hands then put
out the TIRE with water procured
in the bitches by the wayside. The
accident was caused by some pas.
sencor placing a parcel near the stove,
which is supposed TO have been large bot
tie Of phoSphoric-acid. The person who
put il there declared he did not know its
contents and was bringing 1t to a school
teacher. Ii was very fortunate ii was place
at the back instead of the frolt end OF the
ear, otherwise the passengers would have
been forced TO Jump of the train, and
great loss OF life must have followed. As
il was, some Of them suffered severely from
inballng The gas. Several seats in the car
The floor. and the yaises and clothing left
by the passengers were burned.

A fayorite anchorage for New York

plenty Of "grog" TO cheer him up. The
hovse was stocked with sufficient provi-
sions to last through the winter. and there
was an ample supply Of the whlskey de-
handed by the old sailor. The house was
ali right when spring came around, but
MIR. Barnes decided that he wouldn't try
the same experiment again this winter, be-
cause the wbiskey bills Of the Waterman
were too heavy. and because he was drunk
nearly all winter.
This winter Pot Island is in charge OF a
feroci0us bulldog. instead OF man, as an
experiment. Mr.. Barnes has locked up
the hotel and stocked little building near

Watchdog throughout the winter. There

LONDON, December G.-The Liberal cleo.
toral agents and Liberal associations OF
Birmingham, Glasgow, Leeds. and Man.
chester are sending protests TO Mr.. Glad
stone, Right Hon. Joseph Chamberlain.
president OF the Board OF Trade. and Right
Hon. SIR Charles Dixie, president OF the
Local Government Board. against the
division OF boroughs under the new
redistribution bill. The managers OF
the London Association Of workngmens'
clubs likewise protest against sectional
representation. They say IL will destroy
the caucus organization OF the party aud
split the popular vote. Mr.. Chamberlain
has written letter to the Liberals OF Glas-
cow, in which he advises them TO make
municipal contests political, and so prepare
the way for the parliamentary contest. He
argues that the Conservatives are likely to
stand still in municipal politics. Consei-
yatiye papers are deyoting much attention
to the revolt Of the Radicals against the
single-seat principle. They contend
that the Government must either
maintain this principle under its
pledge with Salisbury or must resign. The
ParnelIites calculate that they will be able
TO return eigbty-five members to the House
as soon as the redistribution bill goes into
effect.
The Nationalist press halls the coming

Ct Iubllant qualification.
The United Ireland declares that the re-
distribution bill will produce the most
momentous change IN the British Constitu-
ton that has ever been proposed to Parlia-
ment, and says 1t will lead TO the final tri-
umph OF the Nationalist csuse.
The committee OF the House OF Com
mons which has charge Of the bill for the
relief OF Irish laborers advocate the
granting 10 laborers Of cheap leases in
peIpetuity, at rents to be settled by land
commissioners. The committee is also in
favor OF fixing low rate OF interest on
loans. To the committees report, a recon-
mendation OF Thomas Sexton, member FOR
Sligo, Is appended. This proposes that
labOrers shall be assisted TO pay fer their
holdings by buying a national rate not
exceeding penny in the pound.

offered no violence. II was through this
that uutfushfu1 reports of . riot were
started. The strikers claim that a COM
promise could have been effected but for
the reason that there had been an effort on
the part Of the bosses TO destroy their or
ennizatIon.
BRIDGEPour, CoxN., December 6.-The
striking hasisrs at south Norwalk held
large mass-infefipg In Music Hall last
night. chiefly for the purpose OF laying
their case before the people Of the city.
About 1000 mon and women were present.
Speeches were made by half dozen or
more OF the strikers, In which they de-
nounced the proposed importation OF labor
efs by the employers to take the place OF
those en- a strike. They also claim
that the reduction Of from 10 to
30 per cent. among sizers, curriers',
tiimmoIs, and shavers, Ii unjust and out
rageous on the ground that the employees
are now getting the same prices for hats a.
before, and still further, that the bosses
Propose to continue the reduction until
June. 1885. The manufacturers claim that
the prices heretofore paid. in many cases.
bave been TOO high, and they desire to
regulate the difference. Since the pub
listed reduction. which they do not deem
permanent, the strikers have been offered
work II they will relinqu;sh the union,
which ordered the strike. and attend 10
business as before. A large number seem
willing 10 return to work. but the union
stands In their way.
sheriff Schwartz has sent the following
dispatch: "The report in the morning
papers in regard 10 labor riots are greatly
exaggerated. We bad some excitement
last night, but no riots. All Is quiet at
l2;lj L. NJ. and from the outlook is likely

A dispatch was sent to Governor Waller
ibis morning, saying that there was no
need OF military interference. nor had there
been from the start. The citizens were
law.abidiDg and interested in maintaining
quiet. The dispatch sent to the Governor
last night was done in the heat OF excite
ment. and was uuwarranted. TWAS brought
about 10y n gang OF boys following Andrew
j. CrOfutt, hat manufacturer, about the
streets and hooting at him, aud not from
any action OF the strikers themselves.
