Collision.

On Saturday night, as No. 8 freight
train from the west, in charge of Con-
ductor Jones, was lying at Kelton on
the main line, but supposedly on the
switch, passenger train No. 4, under
Conductor Peterson, which should have
passed the freight train at that point,
collided with it, completely SCATTERING
the caboose of the freight train and
two box cars, the contents of which
were scattered to the four winds. The
engineer and fireman both jumped off
the engine, the former without suffer
ing any injury, but the latter was caught
as the jump was being made, and dis
located the hip. The injury, fortunately,
is not very serious, and few days will
doubtless see the young man again well
and hearty. The passenger engine was
rendered unfit for further service, while
the caboose and two box cars were
smashed. An engine was sent from
Terrace to tow the dilapidated engine
to the workshops at that place. and
strange TO say, while on the way, it also
met with a little trouble, caused by q
misplaced rail on the switch, which
turned the locomotive right off the line
Iu this instance, it is gratifying to be
able 80 state that no injury was sus-
tanned.

held under the auspices of the church,
and, we understand, the Women's
Christian Temperance Union. In ad-
diIion to an excellent miscellaneous
programme, Hon. P. 81. Emerson de-
liYered an address on the temperance
question. He did not go deeply into the
subject, but some of the hints snd
advice he gave were timely. He advo-
Gated the petitioning of the Legislature
of the Territory to enact law making
the saloonkeeper responsible for any
damage any person might commit while
under the influence of liquor sold by
him, at the same time pointing out that
in Michigan, and several other States Of
the east, such law was in successful
practical operation. The honorable
gentleman was in favor of prohibition
only so far as it is backed by the moral
sentiment of the people; under any
other circumstances, Prohibition would
certainly prove failure. The address
was attentively listened to by crowded
audience.
