Both of the negroes were lynched

Mr.. jay, on returning home on

2S Killed in a Collision.
Freight and o Passenger Crash
Both Were Making Fast Time
and Came EuseSher at Full
Speed.

London, Ont, Dec. 81. The
most frightful railroad accident
in the annals of the past decade
happened u short distance from
the little station of Wanstead,
on the SarnaX branch of the Grand
Trunk Railroad, last night The
trains in collision were the Pacific
Express and a freight. Tho ex-
press was running nearly two
hours late and was making fast
time. The freight was endeavor-
ing to make siding to get clear
of the express, but failed by a
minute or two There was q
dreadful crash, the locomotives
reared UP and fell over in u ditch,
the baggage car of the express
telescoped the smoker and in an
instant the shrieks and cries of
the wounded and the dying filed
the air. The loss of life is 2S.
The injured will numb Der consid-
erably more, and many of thess
may die. Many of the dead were
terribly mutilated. Heads were
cut off, legs wrenched from the
bodies and the level stretch of
anow became crimson with the
blood of the victims.
The responsibility for. the acci
deut has not been definitely fixed,
but it seems to have been due co
a telegrapher's blnnder.

Pneumonia and Cold Weather.
ON the New York Medical Journal.

1t Is years now since the medical profess
sion gave UP the idea that exposure to cold
was capable per Sc of giving rise to pneu-
mOnia: we know that the disease is due to
a specific micro-organism. But the notion
that this is good weather for pneumonia"
meaning cold weather-still holds almost
unquestoned sway among the people. 1t
Is said that the Presidents son, who is now
i'll with pneumonia, has been in the habit
of taking long walks in the country bare
headed, and that in this practice he has
been Joined by number of his school
mates. To this exposure of the head to
cold some newspaper writer's have felt in
clned to attribute the pneumonia. No ar
gument is needed to. upset this theory: we
have only to point 20 the experience of the
pupils Of Christ's Hospital, in London,
commonly known as the blue Coat School''
on account of the garb worn by the BOYS,
The small blue worsted cap which has al
ways formed part of their uniform they
seldom wear, having cast 1t aside soon af-
ter the founding of the school in 1853 They
are to be met within in all parts of London
at any season of the year, and In all sorts
OF weather, always barehe AIDED. This prac-
tlce Of theirs has been going on for more
than three hundred years now, furnishing
on> large scale experimental evidence
against the notion that cold causes pneu-
monia. for the disease has been no more
rife among them than among other school,
boys.

SIR CONRAD REEVES.
A Distinguished Man of African and
European Ancestry.

Letter In the London Times
The late Sir Conrad Reeves chief Justice
or Barbados, was distinguished and
striking personality and his career was
in many respects SO remarkable and In
deed, 1t may be said, unique, that | can
not help thinking the readers of the Times
would like to know something more of him
than appears In the brief obituary notice
which is printed in your columns this
morning. Perhaps. therefore, you will al
low one VINO for some years enjoyed his
friendship-a friendship not unmxed with
rivalry al the bar and in the local legisla-
ture-to bear somewhat fuller testimony TO
his signal worth and achievement
1t Is not correct to describe him as me
gro in the sense In which that word is
used in the West Indies. He was dark
man of color-that is to say. of mixed Eu-
ropean and African blood. He was born
In Barbados some eighty years ago in very
humble circumstances. He began life. with
little or no advantages of education as a
printers devil. BY and by he rose To he a
reporter. His ability and industry in that
capacity were so marked that his friends
made shift to send him TO England to read
Tor the bar. After he had been called
by the middle temple he returned to his
native island and soon acquired a consid-
erable practice as an able and eloquent ad-
vocate. For some years he abstained from
politics, but In 1873 he was elected to the
house of assembly, where he rapidly came
to the front. In 1876. at the instance of
MT Pope HenneSsy, then governor of the
Island, he was appointed solicitor general
IhiS office, however, he held but for a few
months, resigning Ii In order to take the
leading part in the bitter contest between
Mr. Hennessy and the local legislature
HIS conduct in that crisis secured for him
In high degree the respect and regard OF
his countrymen. Nor. in the result did it
permanently ALLEVIATE him from her ma
1eStys government. for in 1881 he was ap-
pointed to the higher office of attorney
IN this post, he was advanced in 1856 to
the dignity of the chief iusticeship, and
no. long afterward received the honor
or knlghthood. In that office he admins
tered the law so fairly, SO firmly so cour-
teously, and SO efficiently as to win in
an extraordinary measure the esteem the
confidence and the affection OF all classes
or the community. When he died ON the
sth instant the governor, with the con-
sent of the members of the local legisla-
ture. accorded him the honor of a public
funeral, and the sorrow OF the people OF
the island was testified by the immense
number of persons who attended at and
witnessed the ceremony. In the history
Of Barbados his will always be clarum ct
venerable nOmen.
But there Is even a wider point of view
from which his character and career are
interesting. So far my knowledge goes
he is the most distinguished man OF color
ever born in the British deminions and II
Is not too much to describe him as the fine
Hover of that liberal and enlightened pol-
Icy which the mother country practices to-
ward the weaker races under her sway.

Royal Mascots.
From the Paris Steele.

FTOW tne FdflS Steele.
Most OF the sovereign houses OF Europe
possess one or more relics, which they re-
gard as mascots. The house OF Bonaparte
possesses the boots and little hat OF Napo-
leon l. The Hohenzollerns preserve piously
the gray leather breeches worn by the Bur-
grave Frederic when he entered his mar
quisate or Brondeburg. There Is also at
Sans Souci the cane which Frederick the
Great carried at the battle OF Rosbach.
The Romanoffs cherish the Carpenters
tools Of Peter the Great. and the fetish OF
the Hapsburgs is the shoe which the horse
OF Count Rudolph cast at the moment when
the ENJOYS from the reichstag announced
to him his election as German emperor.
