THIRTEEN KILLED.
A TRAIN LOADED WITH PILGRIMS
 WRECKED NEAR QUEBEC.
The Engineer on the Second Section Must Have Been Asleep at His Post, For He Ran Ills Train at Full Speed Into the One In Tront-MAny Seriously Hurt


 QUEBEC, July 1o.-A terrible accident occurred on the Grand Trunk railway at Craig's Road station, about 14 miles west of Lewis, the result of which was that 13 persons wero killed and 25 others more or less seriously injured, two of whom may die.
 A large pilgrimage from Sherbrooke, Windsor Mills and Richmond had left the latter town for the famous Catholic shrine of St. Anne de Beaupre. The train carry ing the pilgrims was divided iS.,p two ZOO tions, one running a few mirSpes behind the othor. The first section reached Craig's Road and stopped at the tank to take wa- ter. Duo precautions wore taken, and the semaphore was thrown to mark danger" against the following train.
 Only the trainmon were astir. Tho Pull man in the rear was wrapped in silence and the sleepers all unconscious of the ter rible fate that was rushing upon them. Suddenly tho second section, which had passed the semaphore 1t full speed, dashed into the rear Pullman of the Grrt section The engine imbedded itself In tho sleeper, and the latter plunged forward and par tially telescoped the car next In front.
 Every berth In the sleeper was hllod, and many of the occupants were killed as they slept. Others awoke to their horrible sur roundings maimed, bleeding and bruised, conscious of little else but the agony that racked them. 1t was terrible scene. The cries and moans of the wounded and dy- ing pierced the air on all sides while as a canopy that served as . veil to the tragedy the steam from the shattered engine rose in clouds that blinded all observation for the time being.
 The reason why the second section did not observe the danger signal will proba- bly, never be known. as both the engineer and fireman were killed. To Is believed, however, that the engineer, Mcleod, had fallen asleep at his post. No other expla- nation seems possible, as there evidently had been no attempt to stop the speed of the onrushing train.
