QUEBEC, Dec. 1s.-An express train from

after passing st. Joe station a second-class
car appeared to have jumped the track on
curve. 1t dragged frst-class car and a
sleeper with it and also took the mail car
and baggage car ahead of it.
The three passenger ears ran diagonally
along aa embankment for 200 yards. the
second-class car striking the western abnt-

the sacrifice of life occurred. The front of
the car was smashed TO atoms against the
solid stone The three cars turned over,
the first-class car being badly shattered.
The sleeper was not SO badly smashed as
the other cars.
The engine, still drawing the baggage
and mail cars, passed over the bridge.
After passing the bridge the mail car went
down an embankment, turning completely
over in its descent The engine and the
dcrailed baggage car continued on, passing
over a second bridge safely, and were
brought to a standstill few hundred yards

BouIangism Summed Up.


II is tritc remark TO say that General
BoulaDger is OF the ordinary material of
which all our generals are made, neither
superior nor inferior to his colleagues, and
that there was nothing peculiar in him
barring certain impatienee with discip-
line-a very grave defect for soldier and
one almost without example in the high
personnel of the army. As a general he
proved himself bungler in Paris.
As minister he sought popularity
with the army by some imprudent
measures. and with the public by
somewhat dangerous and rather ridiculous
rodomontades. As politician, he afFilia-
ted with the Radicals, which is no sign Of
a very sagacious mind. This was General
Boulanger as be was known before the rev.
Citations Of NJ Mermeix. His party had a
staff not very reassuring from an intellect
ual point of view and very disquieting
from a moral point of view. As for his
opinions, no one knew them, and, 10 say
the truth, one scarcely knew the opinions
of the party. 1t defined them badly and
changed them from time to time

in Spain another young German princess
