' 1 Edwin Ford Carries or His own Child From Her Grandmother,s Home in Fair Haven.
 Fair Haven was sgitated yesterday after. I noon by report that Edwin Ford, who is supposed to reside in New York, had ab- ducted his little four-y -year-old girl, who was living win her grandmother at No. 412 Blatchley avenue. Mir. and Mrs. Ford have not been living together for over year, but the report that they are divorced is errone- ous. Mrs. Ford was allowed the custoa--s
 the child. She is now in NsT aHfsy % to secnpe ape
 sae s seho to see 'ne ,ssEne to the house in ,be i;.tIa l. CHIfd's grandfather and another ha1.. Supposed to be detective were with him in the hack. On entering the house he fondIed the child and then taking it up in his arms, made for the door. The grandmother perceiving his object to take the child, inter posed, but was, she says, beaten back and the child was born away into the carriage, which was then rapidly driven away. An Aunt of the child, who saw the occurrence, seized the carriage door and hung to it and was dragged a number of feet, as she WAS expostu1ating at the child's abduction. In half hours time Chief of Police Bollman was appriZed of the occurrence and notified the officer at the Union depot to watch for hack containing the parties. His search was una- vailing. Detective Brewer was also dis patched to the West Haven depot, but though making all haste, was unable to arrive there
 until after the o'clock train had departed.
 Just before that train left hack drove up in
 which were two men, a woman and child.
 They boarded the train and left for New
 York. A warrant for Fora's arrest was is-
 sued at the police office on the charge of
 assault and trespass. Ford and his wife were
 married about six years ago. His wife was
 born in this city. They lived in Hartford
 after their marriage, and after that lived
 several years in New York The child's
 grandmother belongs in New York, but has
 lived here since '79.

THE GRAND TRUNK DISASTER.


 A Broken Axle sn Ihe Engine is Prob
 ably the Cause of the Accident-Coro-
 ner Woolveston Enspects the Charred
 Remains of the Victims-He Thinks
 They Represent Hut Fifteen Bodies.
 HAMILTON, Ont, April 29.-The Grand Trunk railway workmen, in shifting the re- mains of the wreck late this afternoon in or- der to give the coroner's jury distinct idea of the layout of the trains at the scene of yesterdsy,s accident, discovere what was without doubt the cause of the disaster. One of the axles of the engine was found to be broken, It had been pitched into the mud and water, and had also been somewhat burned, so that it was impossible to tell by examining the broken ends whether the axle had had a flaw in the steel, but from the po- sition in which the engine lay after the plunge into the water tank it is certain the axle was not broken by being struck by any, thing, either at the time of or after the first crash.
 The tender of the engine was thrown to one side and is was that which got the full weight of the ten cars behind and caused them to pitch into heap. The jury seemed to be of the opinion that the broken axle caused the accident, but, in order to get some more light upon the subject w. A. Robin son, an expert in iron and steel, was appoint- ed to make an inspection. In order that he might have time to inspect and report the inquest was adjourned until Wednesday night At the inquest which opened at noon the jury reviewed the remains of L. s. Cur ney of New York and Rudolph J. Ederer of Chicago, the only persons killed whose bodies have been identified.
 Chief Clerk Wallace swore that the reports showed the train to have been ten minutes | late at Dundas, so that intead of trying tc gain time the train had really lost little The wheels were examined at Paris, 90 miles from the scene of the disaster. Since ths | terrible accident at St. George, 15 miles from | the place where Sundays horror occurred | trainmen had imperative orders no to try to make up lost time by fast running. Coroner Woolveston, Inspec ted the charred remains very closely. Ht | says he is sure there are not the remains O eighteen parsons. He thinks fifteen wouie | be the right number, seventeen at the out I side, which will make at the most nineteen deaths from the accident.
 Most af these were killed instantly an' ! their remains were burned afterward, bu
 some, it is certain, suffered intense agony being slowly burned to death while hemme'
 in by portions of the wreck. All tn
 wounded are doing well in the Hamilton ! hospital.

A ENTERTAINMENT FIRE.

A Disastrous Fire in the Aurora Mine 1t Envelopes the Whole Mine Uncon- trOlfed-NO Estimate Of the Loss. ST. Paul, April 29.-A special to the Globe from Ashland, Wis, says:
 The Aurora mine is at present the scene of the most disastrous mine fire that has ever taken place on the Gogebic range. Fire was discovered at about Il o'clock yesterday morning in shaft No. 6, about two hundred feet underground. It was burning very slow ly at the time of discovery and no serious danger was apprehended. Efforts were made to smother it, but without success. It now envelopes the whole mine uncontrolled and possibly uncomfortable
 The spread of the fire was facilitated by numerous open shafts of the mine. Flames and smoke were issuing last night out of several shafts in such volumes as to endanger the boiler-house and buildings, but these were finally saved by the greatest exertions. The fire is burning tonight with increased vigor end is steadily gaining a sure foot hold. Great volumes of steam and smoke are issuing from various shafts and the draughts of air that at times gush forth are powerful enough to sustain the body of man from falling.
 The services of the Hurley fire engine have been secured and it is pumping water into shaft No. 6, but the blinding smoke which iesues from the mine makes it impossible to locate the exact places where the fire is doing the greatest damage. Two of the main shafts are already fully consumed and it is the opinion of experienced mining men that the fire will be extinguished only when it has done it's work by consuming everything in it's way.
 The probable loss cannot be estimated at present, but will be very large. The Aurora mine is one of the s'Big Four" of the Goge- bic range and was formerly one of the Mecz Benjamin properties, but is now e-.uoreo Cleveland, Ohio, parties. If'ioynen' oy men will be thrown or.
