4 TRAIN FALLS FORTY FEET
Terrific Crash Through Ice-Cars on Fire-Pas
sengers Fatally Injured

A terrible disaster occurred on the Grand
Junction division, Grand Trunk railway,
near Belleyille, Ont An express train
crowded with passengers jumped the rails
while crossing a bridge over the river Ouse,
and, breaking through the timbers, the en-
gine and cars fell distance of nearly forty
feet on the ice below. Many people were
badly hurt, but no more than four fatally, so
far as reported. The ice was very thick, and
the cars only partially broke through into the
water. Most of the cars took fire from the
upsetting of stoves.
Conductor Morris, Of Belleville, in charge
OF the train, was held between the timbers of
the smashed passenger cars and badly
injured, and was unable to extricate himself
until nearly every stitch OF clothing was
burned oil his body. Though having hardly
square foot of whole clothing lett ON him,
he worked heroically to get the lady pas
sengers out of the cars. He procured sleighs
and took them 10 neighboring farmhouse,
and in doing so was exposed SO long to the
severe weather that his limbs were badly
frozen. The loss TO 1he rolling stock will be
$780, 600.

at a huge rat which had obtained free ad-

attracted by the music, landed himself in the

visited a number OF saloons, where he made
himself obnoxious, and finally wound up in
the Eagle hotel, where he soon raised a
quarrel, during which, it is alleged, he drew

scufiie that followed the proprietor seized a
base ball bat and struck Siegel on the head,
telling him to the floor unconscious from
which he died. The corousr's jury reuderedla

A dream, n night, transported him. in

hell.

ANY Episcopalians?" Yes"
"Any Presbyterians?' Yes"
"Any Congregationalists?" Yes

ANY Baptists?" ayes"

The Nicaragua Canal.

This country sat by quietly and

canal, from two reasons: Frst-We
knew that we could always buy the
canal from the company. ifit were

never believed it could be built. 1t is
different with the Nicaragua canal.
That can BIO built, and if it is built by
the Empire of Germany, we cannot
hope to buy it at any price. 1t will be
necessary to take it by force; in other
words go to war. The expense of a
single week Of war with Germany
would complete the canal in the most
perfect manner; and its construction by
the Uunited States would saye the
thousands of lives and the infinite
amount Of bad blood which a war would
cost.-San Francisco Chronicle.

The Ambulance.

This is a modern invention of French
origin. In ancient times the wounded
were left to die on the battlefield, but
war now has the ameliorating influence
OF surgery. There are two kinds in use.
The heavy ambulance is left with the
baggage, while the light n moves over
the battlefield in order to convey the
wounded to the rear. Each ambulance
is attended by surgeons and the
largest are drawn by four horses. A
surgeon on horseback guides the others
to some place where s field hospital is
established. A yellow flag is then dis
played, which protects the spot from
the fire of the enemy. Baron Larrey

and it is now in use all over the civiliz-
ed world.-Rochcstcr Chron,c4c.

The Popular Songs of France,

q
The French music-hall singers have
nothing to envy their English confreres
in the matter of pay. Nj. Sarcey, COM
n,enting some time ago on the rubbish
sung nightly at the cafes-chantants, attri-
buted its vogue mainly t the inability of
the singers to do justice to the artistic
chansons which once pleased the public.
Paulus, n of the most popular Of these
yocalists, replied to the critic in a long
letter. in which he states that if he and
others have abandoned the old Scper-
toire, it is because the public does not
want it; and he substantiatcs his state
ment by a comparison of his earnings at
the beginning of his career, when he
confined himself to compositions of this
class, with what he has been making
since he made up his mind to go with
the times and treat the public to what it
relishes. Before the change he earned
fA q month. Since he adopted the
modern comic genre he has been rcgu-
larry making ten times that amount.
He undertakes to sing for M. Sarcey's
personal delectation any of the cid songs
he likes to name, just to show him that
he can do it; but he has no intention of
risking his popularity and his $4,000 a
year in a Quixotic attempt to reform the
public tastc.-St. James's Gazette.
