TWO MEN KILLED.

A shocking accident happened in the
railroad yard last Tuesday shortly before
midnight by which two men employed
as switchnen, A. Brtton of Megantic,
Que, and r. Dickson of Montreal were
killed. They were attending to their
duties and in the act of coupling pass
enger car to an engine for the purpose
of shuntng it on to a siding. The coup
ling apparatus did not work smoothly
and they stepped in between the engine
and car to adjust it, and while al worka
freight train hunted into the opposite end
of the car, where danger was least e1-
pected, crushing the two men, Brittou
being almost instantly killed and Dickson
living about two hours. Drs. Ellie and
Sargent were speedily on hand and were
unremitting in their care and attention,
Lut without avail. Britton was unmar-
ried but Dickson leaves a widow and SIX
children. for whom much sympathy is
shown. 1t was heartrending to hear
poor Dickson moan, my poor family u"
my poor family" His brother and
brother-in-law came here on the express
Wednesday and took the body home.
The accident is being fully investigated,
but from what we could gather it would
seem that the engineer of the freight
train referred to (beet specially was await
ing the signal to pull out, which being
given he of course started his train and
unable to see the car in front, his engine
being enveloped in steam, the accident
occurred with the above deplorable re-
suit.

Value of Vaccination.

An characterization society has been formed in Los Angeles with 100 ol more members, some of whom are physicians. Hardly anything is so good as not to find opponents. Vacci nati n to prevent smallpox has been of inestimable value to mankind. Dr. Norman Bridges of Los Angeles, a man at the top of the profession, says vac cinate. The California Druggist for January says:
 Anti-vaccination societes are among the anomalies of II Odern times. It is strange, indeed, to find people of in telligeuce ignoring the inestima ble value to the world of Jsnner's great discovery. Could we return but for 8 day to the conditions existing before the dread disease came under the con trol of science, and could we realize the terror that prevailed among high and low alike during an epidemic of smallpox, when the sick were practi- cally abandoned to their fate, (the drunken nurses, filled to their eyes with gin, being next to worthless), while the victims of the loathsome disease in the cities were dying by scores and hundreds. and even burial rites were dispensed with as the repul sive corpses were hurriedly carted to their graves; could these horrors be again visible to our eyes we think the nambypamby sentimentalism of anti vaccinationists would be most effectu- ally cured. Today the population of civilized nations is practically inn mune, and the few sporadic cases of the disease are cared for with all the attention given other patients, and our scsres but keep us alive to the necessity of protection. We know there were reasonable grounds for fear ing blood disorders in the former time, when nearly all the virus " as human ized, but now when human virus is entirely discarded and none used but that from healthy cows, no apparent grounds exist for opposition to the laws which sound and humane policy has placed among our statutes.
