An Express Meets n Landslide, Breaks
Down and Smashes "A Car.
Passengers who arrived at Ottawa the other
day by the British Columbia express were
excited over three stirring incidents of the
trip between Vancouver and Ottawa. The
first occurred near Bison, In the Cascade
range of the Rockies. just before the train
reached Bison a terrible landslide took place.
The track was covered with immense bould-
ers, trunks of trees aud earth for some dist
ance. Part of the slide crashed on to the
west end Of bridge and demolished il en-
tirey. A large gang Of men in 10 hours
managed TO reconstruct the tracks and the
bridge so that the train could safely pass
over. Between Calgary and Gleichen the
locomotive broke down with twisted axle.
IL took three hours to secure another engine,
and then only freight locomotive could be
secured. Then everything went smoothly
until a short distance west Of North bay,
when, as the train was switching of ears and
was backing up, it ran into the dining car
and smashed IL up.

CHANGES IN THE POSTAL LAWS.
Important Recommendations Made by
Assistant Attorney General Tyner.

Important Recommendation Made by
Assistant Attorney General Tyner.
Judge James N. Tyner, the assistant at
torney-general for the postofiice department,
in HIS annual report recommends several
changes in the postal laws, notably one TO re-
quire assistant postmasters at presidential
offices TO give bonds to the department so as to
fix their official res onsibility; also for an
amendment to give the postmaster-general full
authority to designate acting postmasters for
offices suddenly made vacant by death, by
the absconding of the postmaster, and in
other cases of like emergency. II the sureties
on the postmaster's bond fail or decline to
name person to serve instead of the post
master, or disagree Gas is often the easel on
the selection.
He further recommends radical change IN
the law concerning '.obscene" newspapers
and publications so as to bring all filthy and
indecent publications found in the mails
whether published or pretended to be pub
lished in the interest of science or not) with
in the scope of the law. This, in his opinion,
has become necessary by the rulings Of the
courts on such publications, under which
anything not intended to excite lust, or that
may be construed as not doing so, cannot be
excluded. The license granted by these ruiz
ings, it is said, is abused by cbaracterless
persons who issue pamphlets of gross
character, some of them as advertising medl-
cine for remedies for loathsOme diseases, and
send them unfortunately and in immense
numbers to young people of both sexes, and
often to all inmates of boarding schools for
Young ladies.
