twenty-five miles from here, on the

wrong orders being given to the en-

to pass the accommodation at Petrol

commodation to pass the special train
at Silver Run, the farther point west.
At the time of the collision both trains
were going thrty-tive miles an hour.
They met on sharp curve, and with
out moments warning dashed
into each other, wrecking both
engines and a baggage car, in
stantly killing Engineer Layman.
fatally injuring Engineer George Row
land and instantly killing the two fire
men, James Fletcher and John Bailey.
One of the officials, named Hunter, was
badly and perhaps fatally injured.
A Mrs. Marley, of Central West Vir-
GINA, was badly injured. Councilman
Robert Malley, of this city. was cut and
bruised. Baggagemaster Rose was cut.
A colored porter on the special was
thrown through glass door and prob
ably fatally injured. There were some
miraculous escapes. The dead bodies
were brought here. 7g ..-
The accident was caused by the train
dispatcher at Grafton giving wrong or

but few passengers, and but one coach
was attached to the special, or the loss
of life might have been much greater.

A LIVE QUESTION.

If the men in the East engaged in
WOODEN manufactures understand the
situation, the fostering hand Of the
government" is the agency that is
causing so many failures among them
and threatening ruin to the industry.
They are unable to manufacture goods
to compete with those made abroad.
without the mixture of certain foreign
woods with the native. The heavy tar
if on those qualities and grades that
they are compelled to use is the burden
that brushes the industry. There are.
many millions invested in these mills,
and the questions involved in the tariff,
are vital to them. AS an illustration of
the feeling in the East. when the
alumni of the noted university in Rhode
Island elected president recently, the
WOODEN interest raised the issue and
elected all advocate of tariff reform in a
storm of enthusiasm. 1t is an intensely
live question i'm the East,

A RAILWAY FAILURE.

1t is matter of regret to see great
railway system go to the wall. The
AtchiSon, Topeka & Santa Fe is one Of
the great aggregations, controlling
good many thousand miles of track. A
few years ago it was regarded among
the most prosperous roads, but it is as
serted that it must soon go into the
hands of a receiver. That it is operated
at loss is hardly questioned. The stock
is very largely held in Massachusetts,,
and thousands of people of small means
put their money into it, expecting to
find 1t paying investment. The disas-
ter to the road is attributable chiefly to
the policy of anneXing and extending
improbable branches, and the compe-
tition of rival lines. Lack of conServa-
tiSm has marked the management.
There has been good deal of the eX-
perience the small stockholders are
likely to have in the railroad develop
ment of the country. Those who come
in later do the harvesting.

AHYDRAULiC RAuWAY.

1t is not easy to focus the mental
vision upon the materialized idea of
more rapid land travel than that af-
forded by the rushing locomotive. Yet
it is not utterly improbable that the
eager, restless inventive genius of the
times will be able to devise some mode
of human transit that will be as great
an advance upon the present methods
as the passenger train of sixty miles an
hour is over the stage coach of the
fathers. Visitors to the Paris eXposi-
ton report working model in opera
ton near that city of a new device that
is certainly ingenious, whether it proves
to be practicable or not. 1t is railway
operated by water instead of steam.
This is applied through taps in cen
ter track, perhaps suggestive of the
street car cables. This stream is forced
up against projections, called pad
dies, under the train, the taps
opening automatically as the train APP
proaches and closing after it passes.
There are no wheels to the cars, but
they slide on device similar to skates,
fixed in groove, the hydraulic power
forcing thin layer of water ander the
slide, avoiding friction. 1t would sug-
gest to the passengers the toboggan,
but beating that in speed, as the time
table on this track will call for 125 to
1877 miles an hour. There are other
advantages besides speed claimed. The
rails are four inches wide and solid, the
running part fitting into groove an l
slipping along as free from jar as a
piece of machinery in its channel. The
motion is hardly perceptible, much
less than in an ordinary drawing room
car at the usual speed. The rolling
stock costs less than in the steam rail-
way, but the roadbed must be ex-
pensive. Whether it could be operated
in winter, where water becomes ice, is
not explained. So many impossibilities
are being overcome by modern inven-
ton that incredulity may be reserved
till experiments are had.

Large Flour Mill at Ontario Des-

u ST. GATHERINGS, Ont, Aug. 23.-The
Empire and Phoenix Touring mills, both
owned by Sylvester Nelson, were
totally destroyed by fire this morning.
The Empire mill was one of the finest

was erected only few years ago at a
cost of nearly 100000. The fire burned
so rapidly and fercely that nothing
could he saved. The Empire mill was

cry, all of which was destroyed. The
total loss is now estimated at about
$500, 600; insurance $4,000.
