IN AN IRON PRISON.
How the Heavy Dining Car Crashed
Through the st. George Bridge.

ST. GEORGE, Ont, Feb. 2S.-The bridge
through which the st. Louis express crash
ed last evening is so feet high, and is sub
stantial iron structure with massive stone
piers. To avoid even the possibility Of an
accident 1t was overhauled week or two
ago. The accident Twas caused by a
broken wheel. The heavy dining car broke
through the iron trestle work only after the
ties ard other wood work had been stripped
off by the car ahead. The dining car being
constructed mostly of iron, 1t was almost i'm
possible to force an entrance into 1t by the
use Of axes and saws. 1t fell on Its end and
the passengers were thrown to the bottom
among mass of broken tables and dishes.
Upon the top of all this fell tho cooking
furnace in full running order. The danger
of fire was imminent but luckily the first
thought Of the rescuers was TO prevent this
still worse horror from Detailing the poor
victims crushed beneath the mass of debris.
Beneath all one man lay calling for help.
When taken out he was found to be very
slightly injured. The shrieks Of lady near
him were heartrending, and she died before
the rescuers could get her out. Two men
We're sitting together engaged In conver-
sation when the crash came. One was in
stantly killed and the other was rescued,
badly, but not hopelessly, injured.
One of those injured died this morning.
Miss Andrews Of Belleville, Miss Mcleod of
Ingersoll and DIR. Luquesne of Cleveland are
in very critical condition, and their re-
covery Is not expected. All the Others are
progressing nicely. In most cases friends Of
every attention. The inquest opened this
morning, and the evidence so far goes to
show that the accident was purely ae-
cidental, and could not have been prevented.

mand; where goods Of American manufac-
ture can find a ready sale at advantageous
prices, by the judiclous cultivation of better
trade relations. In order to secure more in
innate commercial relations between the
United States and the several countries of
Central and South America, there must be

criticized the tests to (which the Vesuyius

Mr.. Herbert Of Alabama said the gentle
man from Maine, In a speech delivered some

ment under Secretary Whitney. Today the
gentleman made political speech, arraign-
ing not only the Secretary of the Navy, but
the Democratic party for what 1t had failed
TO do In the past. 1t was true that when the
House itIhad shown an indispusition 10 trust
the Republican administration with the
money necessary to build up the navy. He
thought the Democrats had sufficient cause TO
distrust those In power. In reply to the
criticism OF the comparison with the Roach
ships, that there had been delay In launching
the new vessels, he stated that Roach was
able to obtain shafting, etc, abroad, whereas
under the recent law. all the shafting must
be procured at home. The Roach cruisers
were very far behind the times when built.
The vessels laid down by Secretary Whitney

the world.
