A GRAND TRUNK EXPRESS TRAIN
JUMPS THE TRACK NEAR HAM
ILTON, ONT.-THE REMAINS
BURNED BEYOND RECOGNITION.
HAMILTON, Ont, april pa
terrible railroad accident occurred
on the Grand Trunk near here at
Z o'clock this morning. The st.
Louis express jumped the track
and the engine ran into a water
tank. Two cars telescOped and
Immediately took fire. Ali the
dead, Is in number, have been
taken out. The only body identi-
fed is that of II. s. Quincy, OF
Chicago. He was instantly killed,
but not burned. An Italian, name
unknown, was also instantly killed.
The other ID were burned beyond
the possibility of Identification
About 20 persons were injured, but
only one or two seriously. None
of the train hands were killed.
The fireman was slightly burned
and received bad scalp wound.
The accident occurred at the
junction, where a "Y" is built. This
"Y" is used to switch through
trains for Toronto to the Toronto
Branch from the main line. The
train is SAID to have been running
at speed of forty miles an hour
or more, when, directly on crossing
the switch, the engine jumped the
track and plunged into a water
tank, which stood in a space be-
tween the "Y," smashing the tank
into atoms aud turning almost up
side down.
The baggage-cars came directly
after the engine, and the first of
these were pitched over the engine
and thrown on the main track,
leaving its wheels behind it.
The other baggage car caught
fire from the engine, and the two
were soon in flames. The coaches
following, with the exception OF
the two Wagner cars in the rear OF
the tram, were huddled together
by the shock aud soon caught fire
from the baggage cars.
The passengers on the train,
numbering over $50, many of
whom we're asleep at the time, had
a terrible experience. y majority
Of those on the tram were able to
get out Of the coaches before the
fire reached them, but in the con-
fusion that reigned it is not known
how many victims were left to the
mercy of the flames, penned in by
the material of the wreck and UNI
able to extricate themselves.
l.. S. Quincy, of Brooklyn, y. y,
had his head completely severed
from his body by piece of flying
debris.
Rudolphe Deerer, whose address
is not known, was also instantly
killed.
There was great difficulty in
securing water, owing to the tank
beng smashed, and the fire held
sway for many hours before a
thorough search could be made
through the debris.
Up to > o'clock the charred re-
mains of eighteen victims had been
eXhumed from the wreck. In
no case was there enough of the
body left to identify the remains
or to tell whether the person was
of the male or female sex.

John Harkins, Boston, ordered
a $50 suit of clothes to be delivered
G.. O. ID. When the clothes were
delivered Harkins gave the a 500
bill in payment. AS the boy was
going Harkins suggested that the
bill be put INTO an envelope for
greater safety. The boy handed
the bill to hin, and he apparently
put it into an envelope. When the
envelope was opened by the tailor
it contained a 81 bill. Harkins was
arrested, charged with having sub
stituted the 81 for the $50 bill and
was convicted of larceny OF the
clothes. When he was brought upto
be sentenced his counsel moved fOr
new trial on the ground that the
prisoner was not guilty of larceny,
as be did not steal the clothes; II
was not larceny of money, as ne
did not steal it; 1t could hardly
be false pretences, as be actually
paid the money to the tailors agent,
who gave it back to him. SEN
tence was suspended.

A Murder Mystery Cleared Up.

SOMERSET, Kyn April pa
most important item OF evidence to
convict two men Of an atrOcious
murder committed year ago was
discovered yesterday by accident by
a mere boy. Two peddlers were
mysterlously missing a year ago.
John and Henry Hill, at whose
house they we're last seen, were
arrested and charged with the
murder; also, a woman Who was
their housekeeper. The woman
testified that the Hills deliberately
cut the threats of the peddlers and
robbed them that they compelled
her to hold basin to catch the
blood, and that the bodies were
concealed. AS the bodies could
not lie found, the Hills were re.
leased. esterday a boy running
down a hill caught a grapevine
and pulled 1t up, disclosing a coffee
sack. He dug out the sack and
found in it two skeletons, and a
tin basin and a small basket recOg-
nized as belonging to the Hills
The Hills were again arrested, and
placed 10 Jail 10 Youngstown.

this morning and held session of
about two hours. Preliminary mo-

Happy Clam Diggers.

From the Lewiston (Me) Journal
 The Maine clam digger isn't exactly fsh- erman, a farmer or a sportsman, but his somewhat plebeian and commonplace occu- patton partakes of the characteristics of each calling His 'game," when he digs it, is fish. He is surer of finding it when he starts out at a low tide than is the fisherman of finding school of mackerel, the farmer of raising his crop or the sportsman of bagging his game. A clam digger may only limit his prospective wealth by his capacity to dig, and that only means three times as much money in a week as some newspaper men can earn. There is more wealth deposited in the Scarboro clam flats, for instance, than in many of the national banks of the common wealth. and they seem to have unlimited power of replacing all losses at the hands of the digger. This fishy agriculturist has TO call to plough his ground and plant. His crop obligingly does it for him, and also &C., commodatingly leaves an air-hole where he went in, 80 the clammer may know where to dig. An overseer of the poor in Maine town was once waited upon by an able-bod- jed man, who asked aid on the ground that he was unable to find employment and his family was starving. F'You csn dig cfafa.ia feed your family and sell those left, can't you!" said the finty hearted aims giver, and the applicant, knowing that he could, de- sisted from further impertunities.

He was regimental physician in the Equatorial Province under Gordon Pacha in 1870, and was entrusted with missions to the rules of Uganda and Unyoro, which he discharged to Gordon's en- tire satisfaction, and was appointed by the latter to be Governor of Hatt el Estiva, in Bey was conferred upon him, and he was made Governor of Lado.

PROGRESS OF A GREAT REFORM
 Graak fhinos arA axnecfed of fhA hallnt IF

PROGRESS OF A GREAT REFORM.
 Great things are expected of the ballot re- form which has already obtained 8 good
 start in this country, and which seems des-
 tined to spread all over it. Mir. Wigmore, 8
 Boston lawyer, has prepared a handbook
 telling all about the reform, which is based
 on the Australian law adopted in 1S57-S.
 Substantially the same law is in force in
 Tasmania, in England, in Canada, in Mil
 waukee and in Louisville. The Massachu-
 setts law will go into effect next November,
 and in New York and other States it is ex-
 pected that the reform will soon begin.
 MT. Wigmore in commenting upon the efficiency of the p1an-secrecy to the indi- vidual voter; printing and distributing bal
 lots at the expense of the government, state,
 town or municipality; freedom of nomina tion-says our present laws against bribery
 and intimidation practically of no ef- feet, "because satisfactory evidence of the violation is hard to obtain, and because, through public indifference or private favor, prosecutions for the offense are rare" But he finds that Ca secret ballot checks bri-
 bery," because "when there is to be no proof UuG GLo WOFu OI Gu0 UElD6 tdkoH (WuO may have received thrice the sum to vote for
 the briber's opponenD it is idle to place any
 trust in such use of money" The honest
 man is also directly benefited. Secret voting 'srelieves him not merely from the grosser forms of intimidation, but from more subtitle, and perhaps more pernicious coer- cion of every sort. By thus tending to erad- icate corruption, and by giving effect to each mans innermost belief, it secures to the re-
 public what, at such juneture, is the thing vitally necessary to it's nealth-a free and honest expression of the convictions of every citizen'
 The need of such reform has long been felt in this country. It will have the earnest support of good men in both parties, and | through it we may yet have elections which will be fair and more satisfactory than such affairs have recently been thought to be.
