Four Persons Are Killed and Two
 Others Fatally Hurt.

Halifax. N. s., April 12-Four persons dead, four fatally hurt, at least one mis- sing and several ctherr slightly injured, Is the record of head-on collision on the Inter Colonial railway, which occurred just before midnight last night near Windsor Junction. seventeen miles from Halifax.
 The poles and telegraph lines along the roadside were wrecked and this city was cut off from communication with the out side world for hours. The trains in col- lision were the Canadian Pacific railway express from Montreal and Boston for Halifax and a fast freight from Halifax for Montreal. The conductor and driver of the freight had orders to take the sid Ing at Windsor Junction and let the ex- press cross but for some unknown reason Driver Copeland of the freight ran past the junction on the main line and met the express two miles beyond. It Is thought that Copeland may have lost con- trol of his train, which was made up of seventy-flve cars The freight was run ming twenty-five miles an hour and the express which was two hours late, was travelling about forty-five miles an hour. The dead are:
 Express Driver William Wall.
 Express Fireman Michael Oakley.

ERROR IN BANK STATEMENT.
Wrong Names of Directors Printed |
 First National Statement.

By an error of the printer a mistake was made in the First National bank statement appearing in yesterday morn ing's Age-Herald. In some way the names of the directors who were out of the city were inserted at the bottom of the statement instead of those who really signed the statement. The names should have read Erskine Ramsay. B. 3. Moore and w. s. Brown.
 This mistake does not affect the cor- rectness of the figures printed, however, and 1t is interesting to note that this is one of the strongest bank statements ever issued in Birmingham. It not only shows the rapid strides taken by this banking institution, but 1t serves as an indicator of the growth and prosperity of the city of Birmingham.
