CANADIAN EXPRESS
 DOWN BEREAVEMENT
SIX PERSONS ARE DEAD AND SCORES ARE INJURED AS RE- SUIT OF FEARFUL WRECK AT BELMoNT-PILoT FELL.

Halifax, N. S., December 6.-The Cana dian express for Montreal rolled down an embanlxment today at Belmont, killing six persons, injuring a score of others and completely wrecking the locomo- tive, postal and express and baggage cars, and several passenger coaches. Six bodies thus far have been recovered from the wreck one besides that of the engin- ger being identified. The dead:
 Samuel .Triver. engineer, of Truror, N. S.
 w. B. Mcdonald, merchant of New Glasgow, N. S.
 An unidentified woman and three uni- identified men.
 Of the injured William Kennedy of Black Rock, N. F., will die and several others are believed to be in critical condition. The dying car conductor, two express messengers and two brakemen are very seriously injured. The fireman was hurled through the window of the cab and was picked up in an adjoining field practically unhurr.
 The train left Halifax for Montreal to connect at McAdam Junction with the Maine Central road for Bangor and Bos- ton. A number of the passengers were destined for American points. The accf- dent was caused by the pilot becoming loose and falling in front of the locomo- tive. The train plunged ahead for fifty feet and then turned over and rolled down an embankment.
 To add to the suffering of the injured, the weather was bitter cold, and it was hours before help arrived.

Show Bad Conditions PreVaiI-
 ing Around COIIieriGs
LAD OF F ON THE STAND
Told the Commission He Was Work ina for 4 Gents an Hour to Pay of Debt of His Father, Who
 Was kIned In Mines.

Scranton, Pa., December 6.-The miners Having finished their attack on the Coxe mines in the Hazleton region today, turn ed the attention of the coal commission to the collieries of G. B. Markle and company in the same locality. The wit nesses for the mine workers scored what appeared to be telling points with regard to wages and other conditions prevailing in the mines of this independent com was not prepared to cross-examine the witnesses on all things they testified to, and the commission has granted the company the privilege of recalling the witnesses to the stand for the purpose of cross-questioning them on some of the statements made today.
 The principal witness called against the Markles was James Gallagher, who worked in the Markle mines for thirty years. He claimed the wages were so low that he was always in bedt to the company and that in seventeen years he had only once received money in wages and that was $50. He further tes- tified that he had to deal at the company store, the only place where the miners could get credit and the prices were from 10 to 20 per cent higher than in other places He said he had made large wages, as much as s70 a month, and wiped out his debt, but the company would then give him such bad work that he would immediately go in bedt again. fa1 ra- fused work, but he did not know why employment was not given him.
 Witness Was Witty.
 The witness, who is about 50 years of age and a native of Ireland, kept the court in constant good humor by his wit and sharp answers to thrusts by the law yers He was half killed twice, he said, which brought the remark from Chair man Gray that if he was twice half killed that he was now dead. This caused much merriment, but it was turned into a roar of laughter when the wit replied that the first half was healed before the other half was injured.
 A 12-year-oid breaker boy was called to the stand and gave testimony to show that he was working at the MarlSle mines to pay off the debt incurred by his father, who was killed in the mines eighteen mcntha ago. He received no pay, but was given due bills showing how much bis mother owed the company. The due hills also showed ttat the debt his mother was mourning such as house rent etc., was gsowing faster tfAi he could reduce it, as he was only getting cents an hour.
 The last witness was Frank Ray con tract miner. He was explaining conditions In the mines with reference to the impure sir and was still on the stand when the at 1 o'clock, adjourned until 10 a. m. Monday. The conditions prevail ing at the Lehigh Valley companys mines will be taken up next. The miners have a large number of witnesses they desire to call, and there is at this time no indi- cation when the hearings will be con- cluded. Some of the operators desire to
