SIXTY PERSONS KILLED.
Horrible Accident to a Railroad Train
in Switzerland.

BERNE, June IA horrible accident
occurred on the Moenchen, Stein & Bale
railway today, through the collapse of
bridge beneath a heavily loaded excur-
sion train, crowded with people on their
way to attend musical fete. Sixty per-.
sons were killed outright, while hund-
reds were injured. The two engines and
the first car plunged into the river, and
drowned. Two cars remained suspended
from the bridge. All the trainmen were
killed. Thirteen cars were saved.
The musical fete at Muenchenstein
was abandoned as soon as the news of
the accident arrived, and hundreds of
villagers hurried to the scene to assist in
rescuing the victims. The bridge was an
iron skeleton structure, which was con-
sidered well built and substantial. The
only apparent reason for the collapse of
the bridge is that the train left the rails
and threw its entire weight on the side
of the bridge.

Because of the Action of the Synod at
the Pittsburg Meeting.
BALTIMORE, June 1.-THE Rev. DIR.
E. M. Smith, of the Hartford Avenue
Reformed Presbyterian church, today
preached his farewell sermon and an
nounced to his congregation that he
could no longer consistently be mem
ber of church in this free country that
forbade it's ministers the right of fran
chise. DIR. Smith said the church author
tiles had not prosecuted him in the least.
For some time past he has differed with
the radical element of the covenanters,
but had hoped that the recent trial at
Pittsburg of the young ministers would
result differently. In expelling the
young men, however, for no other reason
that they had exercised their rights and
their duties as American citizens, was
more than he could stand. DIR. Smith
says he will seek admission to the regu-
lar Presbyterian church, and it is likely
that many of his congregation will fol-
low him.

CANADA,s PREMIER.

cause OF the Opposition.

cause of the Opposition.
OTTAWA, June 14.-Mr. Abbott, the
premier-elect,. spent several hours at his
Office in the senate chamber today, and
had many callers. 1t is officially learned
he is making progress in his task of
forming a ministry, and will likely be
able to announce, when the chamber
meets Tuesday, that he has been sue
cessful.
The government will be carried on on
the old lines until after the session,
when the reconstruction takes place.
So far as can be learned all the recent
colleagues of the late Sir John Macdon-
aid have been invited to join Abbott's
ministry. 1t is definitely known al
ready that Hector Langevin, Sir John
Thompson, Hon. George Foster and
Hon. Mackenzih Bowel have accepted.
If any trouble occurs it will come from
Hon. J. A. Chapleau, who asserts he re-
CARDS Sir John Thompson as the best
qualified, under the circumstances, for
the premiership. Abbott cabled to Lon
don ordering his broker to sell all his
stock in the Canadian Pacific railroad.
President Van Horn has also received
Abbott's resignation as director of the
company. Sir John Thompson was, it is
eral to form a ministry, but he declined,
owing to the opposition of two of his
French colleagues and ultra-Protestants
of Ontario.
WELL RECEIVED IN LONDON.
LONDON, June 1.-THE selection of
Senator Abbott as successor to Sir John
Macdonald is generally accepted as the
wisest selection that could have been
made. The strength of the British con-
nect1on is believed to lie in Ontario, the
west and the maritime provinces, in
which Abbott is popular. It is said by
leading Canadians residing in London
that the government acted wisely in
prefering the wishes of the British colon
les to the desires of the French Canad-
ians. Since the visit of Premier Mercier
to Paris, and the speeches there,
averring the undimmed devotion of the
old to the new France, the British mind
has not been so well satisfied of the at
tachment of Quebec to the empire, and
there is less disposition than in former
years to see everything in Canada
subordinated to the whims of the French
settlers. 1t is known that numerous
kilograms passed between Ottawa and
London before Abbott was named and
there is no doubt that he is the choice
on this side of the Atlantic as well as on
the other. The appointment is also
considered thoroughly safe from bust
ness point of view, which, in the present
financial condition of the Dominion, is
important.
