TRAINS COLLIDE.
Disaster on the Grand Trunk Railway
Five Persons kiIIed-E1fteen
Others Injured.

London, Ont, Dec. 27.-Five persons
were killed and Is injured in the wreck
ing ofthe Pacific express on the Grand
Trunk railway, which left here at 9:3O
o'clock for Sarnia. Three passengers
and the engineer of the freight and the
fireman of the express are said to be
dead. The Pacific express collided with
a fast freight, which was going east
at Wanstead. The express train does
not usually stop at Wanstead, but goes
through the village at full speed. The
Grand Trunk officials at once made
up a special train and sent doctors and
nurses with all the necessary appli-
ances to the scene of the wreck. Since
the first report of the accident all
regular trains have been directed from
the regular route and are being sent
over the old Grand Trunk line by way
of Stratford. The express was an hour
behind schedule time when it left this
city. 1t is through run from here to
Sarnia, no stops being made at the
small stations on the line. The express
should have passed the freight at
Strathroy. The Pacific express con-
meets with eastern trains over the New
York Central, Erie and Lehigh Valley
at Suspension Bridge.

SIX ARE DEAD.
Falling Wall of ArbucESle CoOperage
Plant Kills Half Dozen of
Brook1yn's Firemen.

New York, Dec. 26.-Six deaths, and
possibly more, are believed to have re-
suited from a fire which, starting at
1915 o'clock this morning in the coop
erage plant attached to the Arbuckle
sugar refinery in Brooklyn, destroyed
that great building. The victims were
firemen working upon water tower
No. 1, which was directing a stream
into the blazing five-story brick struc-
ture, and who were caught by falling
wall. Battalion Chief Coppinger died
after being taken to a hospital, and the
dead body of Assistant Foreman Thorn
as Jeffries was found in the ruins of
the fallen wall.
Vast pillows of flame rolled up and
were reflected in the East river, max
ing it look like a stream of fire, while
so brilliant was the illumination thas
it was possible to read print in Man
haitian by the light. The fire spread
to the Williamsburg cork works,
north of the refinery. 1t wrecked that.
Then it spread to the big Kirkman
soap factory. The Kirkman Soap
company plant was little damaged. A
conservative estimate places the dam
age at $500,00O.

Two Schooners Sunk in Massachu-

Sufferings of Survivors.

Boston, Dec. 23.-Almost crazed

helpless, ten men in boat were picked
up by the schooner Manhasset Sun
day As miles off Highland light. Then
for the first time it was learned that
the schooners Frank A. Palmer and
Louise B. Crary had been in collision,
and that they had, been sunk off
Thatcher's island on Wednesday even

Monday. Of the 21 men who made up
the two crews, six were carried down

With no food or water, their clothes
frozen in solid masses and their boat
being steadily driven before a bitter
gale out into the Atlantic, it seems re-
markable that so many survived.

college at Kneller Hall, post he re-
tanned until 1858, when he was made,
head master of the famous public
school at Rugby. DR.. Temple in 1869
was consecrated bishop at Westmin-
ster and for 16 years served in vari-
Gus capacities always active, always
distinguished by his vigor and origin
ality in every enterprise he undertook.
In 1885 he was transferred to the bish-
opric of London, which he filed for II
years. In 1896 he took the last possi-
bic step upward in the Anglican hier-
archy and became archbishop of Can
terbury
