lBy Telegraph 70 the Evening Journall
LONDON, Nov. IA terrible railway
accident, accompanied by number of
deaths, occurred early this morning near
Thirsk, in Yorkshire
The east coast express train for Lon
don left Edinburgh at 1890 last night.
The express train being unusually heavy,
was divided in two sections. The first
section proceeded safely to London,
arriving at the usual hour. The second
section had over 100 passengers on
board, including several noblemen and
other distinguished people. The train,
which consisted Of coaches from Dundee,
Perth, Abroath and Aberdeen, swept
safely throughlsouthern Scotland and the
extreme north Of England
A thick fog prevailed which made II
difficult for the driver 10 discern the
signals. Approaching Thirsk the fog
was thicker than ever and at point
about two and half miles north of that
town the signals were entirely obscured.
and the express train collded at full
speed with a goods train on a siding at
Manor House.
The wreck of the express train was
complete The engine came full tilt
against the goods train and toppled over,
smashed aud dismantled, with the car
riages after Il, into an adjoining field.
The carriages were broken and
! jammed together and most Of
) the passengers were caught in
their compartments, as in so many
traps.
The wreck took fire almost instantly
1 from escaping gas and the smoke aud
flame. and the shreks Of the dying and
D wounded made up a horrible scene

! selves uninjured hastened TO assist others
who were yet alive and caught in the

Z the way In which the carriages were
r crushed together and the trouble In open

The Morality Of Art.

You will find that. so far from
art being immoral little else except
art is moral that life without in
dustry is guilt, and indus
try without art is brutality and
for the words 'tgood" and "wick-
ed" used Of men, you may almost
substitute the words "makers' or
"destroyers." For the greater part
of the seeming prosperity Of the
world is, so far as our present
knowledge extends, vain; wholly
useless for any kind Of good, but
having assigned to it certain IN
evitable sequence of destruction and
Of sorrow. It's stress is only the
stress Of wandering storm its
beauty the hectic OF plague and
what is called the history Of man
kind is too often the record Of the
whirlwind, and the map Of the
spreading Of the leprosy. But un-
derneath all that, or in narrow
spaces Of dominion in the midst OF
it, the work Of every man "qui non
accept in vanitatem AMMAN suam,
endures and prospers n small rem
nant or green bud of it prevailing
at last over evil. And though faint
with sickness. and encountered in
ruin, the true workers redeem inch
by inch the wilderness into garden
ground by the help Of their join
ed hands the order Of all things is
surely sustained and vitality exss
panded and although with strange
vacillations in the eyes OF the
watcher the morning cometh, and
also the night, there is no hour Of
human existence that does not draw
ON towards the perfect day.-Rus-
kin.
