A rRIGHTFUL ACCIDENT.
Eight Lives Lost in Wreck ON the GrOnt
Northern Roatl,

Northern Noat.
ALEXANDRIA, MIMI, Dec. 1s.-A
frightful accident occurred on the Great
Northern railway this morning at Mel.
son station, five miles east Of hero, in
which eight men wero killed and 1--WE
were seriously injured. There had been
a collision Friday morning at Nelson
and a number OF cars were wrecked.
The wreck train had been there two
days clearing up, and was making up
preparatory to pulling out for the east.
About o'clock this morning the wreck
train caboose was left standing on tho
main track with a number OF cars. An
east bound freight was due about l
o'clock, and had orders to side track
for the passenger train duo at 2:4O.
Tho fireman tells the following story:
There is heavy grade west OF tho
station, and rs the freight with thirty
six loads under charge OF Conductor
William Mickey, Engineer James Ma
loney, approached the switch the engine
was shut of aud brakes called for.
There was no perceptible decrease Of
speed and Conductor Mickey climbed
out OF tho caboose whore he was and
began setting brakes, but the speed was
too great to stop. When within train
length Of the caboose they saw tho track
was full ahead and both engineer and
fireman jumped.
The engine struck tho wreck train,
threw the caboose on top OF the next
car, setting both on fire. There were
fourteen men in tho caboose. One
jumped of, Eve were hurt, three were
burned beyond recognition and four
were killed. Ono was totally burned
up without a sign Of his remains being
found.

BULL FIGHTING STILL POPULAR.
Some Figures on the sport for the Past
Year In spain.


Year In spain.
LONDON, Dec. 1s.- Judging by the fol-
lowing summary OF the present years
bull ring record in Spain, the sport is
certainly not failing in popularity. The
number Of first class bull fights in inn
portant cities has been $50, the bulls
killed being 1904. There have also
been 307 fights OF young bulls, "novilloS,"
in which 1,407 were slaughtered. Two
men, picadors, were killed, and OF the
espadeas and banderlllos sixteen wore
more or less seriously wounded. In
each course from six to eight bulls are
done to death, but recently in Madrid a
fight extended two days, in which
eighteen we're finished of. 81
Many of the enthusiasts judge the
merit Of the fight by the number Of the
horses slain, on some days fourteen OF.
oven more are gored to death by the
long horns OF tho Spanish bulls. The
bull ring in Madrid holds 10, 900 specta-
tors, who arc sill apparently delighted
with the spectacle in which blood flows
plentifully aged or unsouud horses are
disemboweled on the sandy arena,

This arrest and search were kept very
quiet all day yesterday. Nobody out.

occurrence, except those whom cir,
cumstances made 1t necessary to con-
suit. In discussing the presence OF
other suspicious goods in the house, OF
a character which It did not come within
their province to examine, the officers
came to tho conclusion that 1t was
their plain duty to expose the situation
to tho state authorities. Three notion
houses were visited hunting for clue
to where tho goods were from, and
finally member OF the firm Of John S.

packages as theirs.

girl Of the period, they are perfectly

makes travelling anything but pleasant

A fellow can hardly eat his dinner with

ought to plough, but the earth is baked
too hard and as consequences they
can't go ahead with the work. Springs
wells and cisterns are getting very low
