: A MISPLACED SWITCH
Caused a ,Frightful Railroad Crash
!" in Canada. =,
TWELVE KILLED, A DOZEN HURT.

Several Cars Smashed Almost to Splin-
tors and Both Engines Destroyed.
Baggage Car Driven Into a Second
Glass Coach and Passengers Crushed.
Trenton, Ont, Nov. ia Grand
Trunk express train bound for Toronto
crashed into q moving freight train
near Murray Hill crossing, two miles
west of there, and several cars were
smashed almost to splinters. So far
. as known u people were killed and a
dozen or more seriously injured. A
misplaced switch was the cause Of the
accident, the westbound train taking
the wrong track, on which was the
eastbound fraight.
The express train consisted of ex-
press mall and baggage cars, a second
class car, one frst class coach and two
Pullman sleepers. The second class car
was next to the baggage car and ahead
of the first class coach and sleepers. 1t
was prettJ well filled with people. there
being twenty or more passengers in 1t,
and hardly any Of them escaped with
out injury.
Between Belleville and Murray Hill
crossing the road Is single tracked, the
only piece Of single track between To-
ronto and Montreal. At Murray Hill
crossing the westbound express usually
leaves the single track and takes the
double track, and 1t was about mile
and half west of this point where
the accident occurred.
Whether the signals were right or
not will never be known, the engineer
and fireman of the wrecked train being
both dead. Both engines were totally
destroyed. and the freight was thrown
completely over the passenger engine
into the ditch beyond.
The engineer and fireman of the
freight engine, Thomas Ivens and Alex
escaped with slight injuries. w. H.
Brady, engineer, of Belleville, and John
Mcdonald, fireman, of Belleville. who
were in charge of the passenger en-
gine, We're killed.
The greatest destruction was wrought
in the second class car. The baggage
car was driven into and almost COM
pletely through it, the passengers be-
ing crushed and mangled underneath
the timbers Of the car. The mail car
was forced right on top OF the baggage
car, and the express car was partially
wrecked The first class car was un-
injured, as We're also the two sleepers,
although the passengers were awaken
ed by the shock. The work of pulling
out the dead and injured was COM
menced Immediately Some of the
bodies were so horribly mangled that
recognition was almost impossible. The
injured were taken to the hospital at
Belleville.
The dead are William Luness and

The table comparing the returns for ls9
with those for 1896 ia an interesting study,
While the gain In the Subordinate Lodge
membership Is slight over that of the
previous year, the slackening In the growth
Of the Rebekah wing Of our peaceful army
is phenomenal, the gain there being but
little moro than half that reported for 1895
Another disappointing fact is noted in the
loss Of nearly three thousand In Eucamp-
mert membership. This somewhat de-
pressing state Of affairs is accounted for in
q general way, by repeating what was said
ayear ago of tba enforced idonesss in some
sections, and unrsmunerative employment

Our Colorcd Troops in Cuba Assassin.
ate Four Persons.
Santiago de Cuba, Nov. 16.--An Incl
dent occurred Monday night at San
Luis. about rs miles north Of Santiago,
which caused great deal Of Ill feeling
among the Cubans and considerable
military officials here.
All the colored regiments are en-
camped in the nghborhood of San Luis.
The colored officers seem to have little
or no control over their men. and Of
flcers and prlvates are often seen
drinking together. with arms around
each others necks. and behaving in
other ways not calculated to inspire
respect for the American troops among
the Cubans.
.- The trouble began in an attempt by
Lieutenant jose Fererra, chief of Gem
eral Woods gendarmerie. to arrest two
soldiers for abusing Cuban workman
and stealing his hog. The soldiers who
belonged to the Ninth immunes, es-
capped. Soon after 80 colored men,
wearing the uniform of the United
States army. attacked the house where
lieutenant l. eieiId was anu hept UP
regular fusillade, killing Lieutenant
Fererra. Antonio Roman. an old man.
Emilio Bettran, boy of II, and a baby
and wounding several others. Two
soldiers were killed in the affray and
two gendarmes are dying.
After an unsatisfactory attempt to
get at the facts of the case over the
wires General Wood went to San Luis.
He returned last night and reported
that he had come to the conclusion that
all the colored regiments were more or
less mixed up in the ARRAY. He has
offered $1,000 reward for the names of
the men who did the shooting and be.
fore leaving San Luis he read the
colored officers severe lecture for de-
ry!ng that their men were Implicated.

London. Nov. l6.-The Madrid corre-
s2rnGent of The Daily Mail says: "A
f-ting Carfist tells me he win be as
tonlshed IL a formidable rising does not
occur in Spain within month after
the peace treaty is signed. The Car
lists have abundant supplies of money,
and, my informant says. only some-
thing very big and unexpected can pre-
vent rising.
"This appears to agree with the news
that Don Carlos has succeeded in rails
ing an important loan in London and in
Paris. and that wealthy Carlist fam
lilies are insuring their property against
war risks.
II questioned prominent official at
the Spanish war office today on the
subject. and he told me he was we'll
aware of the Carlist activity, but that
the government was even more ready
than the Carlists. The bulk of the
actual standing army of Spain. he said,
is now occupying Aragon, the Basque
provinces and North Catalonia. There
is larger number Of troops under the
colors than the law authorizes In or
dinary times. the government having
decided that this is necessary to pre-
serve internal order. During the last
two months-still according to my in
formant-the government has greatly
increased its war material and has re-
placed most Of the ARTILLERY and am
munition sent to the West Indies. My
own opinion is, however, that the Span
ish people will not tolerate a Carlist
rising, because civil war would only
colnplete Spajn's ruin"
