THE DEAD TERRIBLY MANcIED.
Particulars of the Accident on the
IntercoIonIaI Road.

RIMoUsKI, Que, March 2O-The collision
reported last night on the Intercolonial rail-
road between passenger and special freight
train is the worst as regards the loss of life
that has ever taken place on the line. 1t
occurred while the trains were rounding a
curve north of Rimouski, and is attributed
to the non observance Of orders by the down
special, which having lost time through
sticking in the snow, should have stopped
and sent out signals. When the trains met,
the express was going under full lead of
steam and the special was going slow. The
engineers Of both trains saw each other too
late to avoid collision. As the two engines
struck, they reared several feet into the air
and fell In fragments on each side Of the
track. The baggage and express cars at
tached to the passenger train were also de-
molished. Most of the killed were
horribly mangled. Engine Driver Whitney
was found hanging in the debris BY
one foot. His left leg was cut in two and
his head smashed to a jelly. Fireman Foley
had part of his back torn out and was al
most unrecognizable. The verdict Of the
cidental.
