Terrible Head-on
Collision.
FIVE MEN KILLED.
-Four Engines Come Together.

Probably the worst train wreck that
ever occurred on the eastern division of
the Grand Trunk happened last Friday
at about 1870 A. NJ. short distance
from Bethel. Me-. aud rs a result five
men are reported killed, Others injured
four engines demolished aud Is loaded
ears and contents burned. The killed
are Peter Thompson of Montreal, engi-
neer, Mr.. Tibhets fireman. W, {. Oliver
of Bangor. brakeman. and two unknown
men, presumed to be tramps, stealing a
ride.
B. {. Damon of Island Pond was con
ductor Of %, with Peter Thompson and
MIR. Roberts as engineers Tom Foley
also ON here We, conductor of 81, with
Mr.. Hill aud Mr. Barker as engineers.
The order of the train dispatcher was
for these trains to cross at West Bethel
aud the operator at Shelbume, so it is
said. failed to give the order to conduc.
tor Foley. but thorough investigation
will reveal the exact cause and place the
responsibility.
About two miles east OF Bethel at
place called Walkers mills is a curve
at the end of grade, with longer,
sleeper grade on the side towards
Locke's mill The two long trains APP
preached each other down these grades
at high rate of speed
Conductor Damon, looking from the
first engine on his train, saw the head
light of the other train and gave the
alarm. His engineer reversed the lever
aud jumped off, followed by his fireman.
They We're not hurt,
An instant later the men on the other
train saw their danger and lcaped into
the snow, receiving few bruises only.
The great engines came together ON
the curve with crash, which aroused
the sleeping people for quite a distance
around. Flames shot up, which were
seen 10 miles distant. Five loaded ears
on the eastbound train and eight on the
westhound train. with the four locomo-
tiyes, were piled in a heapn more than
three rods long.
On top of this broken. tangled. burn.
| ing wreck, probably 20 feet high, was
/ the second engine of the westbound
train. In the cab, apparently in his
usual position, was Peter Thompson, the
engineer. Ills chest was broken in ant
his legs fast in the broken machinery
but he was alive and able to talk. liz
was rescued with great effort, some o
the men fighting hack the flames viii
snow while others lifted and pried t.
get him out One foot was left in The
burning mass when they lifted him from
the cab. lie seemed to he suffering lit
tie pain aud talked easily, asking abou
the wreck and his new fireman. liz
died few minutes later lie had beer
married but few months.
Thompson S fireman was buried unde
the engine in such a position that h'
could not be got at. His body wa
burned almost entirely.
The engineer and the fireman in tn,
first engine jumped and saved them
selves They received only bad bruises
One fireman had his arm and shoulde
badly injured, and Gundry another fire
man, came in contact with a telegraph
post in his flying leap, One eye wa
knocked out and he was badly broker
up and received internal injuries tina
may cause other complications. Engi
neer w. II. Barker escaped withou
serious injury. W. {. Oliver Of Bangor

Russian Ministers Reported to BE
Dressed in Cufrasses.
LONDON, April 1.-The st. Petersburg
correspondent of the Daily Telegraph says:
"A revolutionary committee, composed
of seventy-two members, has been arrest
ed after a desperate defense, the revolu-
tionists firing at the police. Two secret
revolutionary printing presses were seized
In connection with The arrests.
Altogether 5000 arrests have been made.
1t is reported that some of the ministers
now wear steel cuirasses.''
ST. PETERSBURG, April Peter kar-
povich the assassin Of M. Bagoliepon, the
Russian minister of public instruction, has
been sentenced to twenty years penal SER
vitude, with a loss Of civil rights The
announcement that he has been sentenced
to life Imprisonment in a fortress was err
roneouS.
The ministry of education is considering,
as a means of diminishing the number of
university students, a proposal to admit
any one qualified to enter the universities
to examination for university diplomas,
whether they ever attended the UNIVERSE
ties or not. This, however, would hardly
be a satisfactory solution of the difficulties
which result from restrictions Of university
freedom.
Sixty-nine students, who were arrest ed
during the recent riots, have been re-
leased.
1t is reported that severe riots have oc-
CURED during the last few days at Kteff,
but were quelled by the military authori-
ties. No further particulars sre available.

WAR SPIRIT RUNS HIGH IN JAPAN.
Russia's Pretensious in Manchuria
Likely to BE Dtsputed.


Likely to Be Dtsputed.
LONDON, April 1.-''There is reason to
believe, says the st. Petersburg CORE
spondent Of the Daily Mail, that the Man
churian convention between Russia and
China will be ratified in April"
The Yokohama correspondent of the
Daily Mail, who records various indica-
lions of preparations for war on the part
Of Japan. says:
Interviews have appeared with proni-
nent statesmen. all breathing the war
spirit and expressing the general opinion
that it is impossible to allow Russia a free
hand in Manchuria. This is the gravest
crisis from the point of view of Japan
since her war with China.
According to a dispatch from st. Peters
burg to the Daily Mail the Coreans at Sa-
Ma, frontier town, recently repuIsed an
attack by 200 armed Chinese.
Japan has made direct representations
to st. Petersburg against the Manchurian
from Tokyo, dated Saturday but the re-
suit Is not yet known. Japanese public
opinion is very strong on the subject.
1.-The cabinet is prudent and pacific, but
impressed by the national enthusiasm,
which is certain to become uncomfortable
il there Is any undue yielding.
"The result of the issue Of the first in
stallment of the Seoul-Fusan railway loan
testifies to the extent Of the patriotic en-
thusiasm. The amount was covered many
times over with subscriptions from remote
rural districts, in spite Of the extreme
tightness of the money market"

The question discussed by the debating
Society of the school of law, Columbian

was maintained by Ralph L. Smith, Luther
NJ Walter and Samuel Herrick while the
negative was supported by Clyde L. Rog-
ers, George E. O'Bryon and Eugene H.
Pitcher. Justice David ]. Brewer, ]. J..
Darlington and E. w. Parker were the

American Grape Vines for Germany.
Consul General Guenther, in report to
the State Department from Frankfort. Ger
many, states that a committee Of the Ag-
ricultural Society Of Rhenish Hessen has
recommended that thorough, practical ex-
periments be made with the planting Of
American grapevines in that section. 1t
was predicted that hybrids produced by
crossing American and European vines will
play an important part in grape culture
as soon as the quality of the product be-
