Moffat, ex-senator Tabor and other

step to test the question of tree coinage
of silver under the present law. An
agent of Senator Tabor will present a
bar of silver containing l 900 ounces,
accompanied by certificate of
it's fneness from the mint,
at the Treasury Department at Wash
ington, az d demand that it be exchanged
for coin The demand will of course be
refused, when writ of mandamus will
be obtained from the United States court
and the matter WY become the ground
for legal battle. The theory of this ac-
ton is that the law and it's interpreta-
ton are unconstitutional.

PILED UP IN A DITCH.
Intercolonia1 Express Train Over an EN-
haukmenf.


bankment.
QUEBEC, Que, Dec. IS.-Ihe express
train from Halifax on the lntercolonlal
Railroad, due at Lewis at II 40 A. NJ. to-
day, met with frightful accident about
three miles from It's destination.
The scene of the wreck is an embank-
ment at st. Josephs. The train was
made up of baggage and mail car, one
second-class, one first-class car,
and one sleeper. It was running at
high rate of speed and
after passing st. Joseph Station, the
second class car appears to have jumped
the track at the end of the station siding,
on curve, and to have dragged the first
class car and sleeper with it, and also TO
have derailed the mail car and baggage
car ahead of it.
The three passenger cars ran diagonal
" along the embankment for 200 yards,
the second-class car striking the west
ern abutment Of the bridge, which car
ries the track over the public highway
ut this point.
1t was in this car that the sacrifice of
life occurred. The front of the car was
smashed to atoms against the solid stone
abutment.
The three cars turned over, the first
class car being badly shattered. For
tunately the curve, on which they were
running threw the cars away from
each other, and though the heavy
sleeper was carried half the length
of the first-class car, it ran alongside of
it instead of crushing through it, as it
would have done on straight line.
The sleeper was not SO badly smashed
as the other cars.
The engine, still drawing the baggage
and mail cars, passed over the bridge,
the timbers of which were badly broken
up by the two cars derailed by the
plunge cf those in the rear.
After passing the bridge the mail car
went down the embankment, having APP
parently turned completely over in its
descent.
The engine and derailed baggage car
continued on, passing over q second
road bridge safely, and came to a
standstill a few few hundred yards
further on.
AS soon as the news of the disaster
reached the city q number of medical
men crossed the river and went down
on special train to the scene of the dis
aster, and rendered efficient aid to the
wounded passengers.
The dead are five in number. Their
names are: Dionne, Gauvin, Blais,
Leclair and Winner. The latter was
the news agent on board of the train.
Conductor Walker was badly hurt,
and very few of the passengers escaped
without more or less injury. One
has both legs broken; another frac-
ture of the skull and all are cut and
bruised, but it is impossible at this mo-
ment to get a reliable list of names.
Mr. Gauvin was a resident of st.
Charles, and had boarded the train a
few minutes before the crash came
which deprived him of life. Leclair
was a young resident of Lewis, who
had met the incoming train at Norlake
the last stopping place.
AS the accident happened in the CEN
ter of st. Josephs village, alarm was inn
mediately given by the residents, and
their houses were thrown open for the
reception of the wounded.

Imposed Task.
New YoRK, Dec. 20.-sig. Succi will
end his forty-fve day fast at $40 O'Clock
this evening. He said this morning ht

lay in bed this morning, half dressed,
with bed clothes on his "maciated, shiv-

voice weak and querulous in sound. He
said he would never fast again for such a
length of time. To-day be will drink
tepid water, and he will break his fast
or cup of cocoa. The physicians are
rather anxious as to the effect his first
meal will have on him.
At 7:30 o'clock this morning Succi
weighed 1042 pounds, loss of AZ!
pounds since he began fasting.
