AWFUL RAILROAD ACCIDENT.
Killed and Many scri-
ousIy WnuntIcd.

The most frightful railroad acct
dent in the annals OF the past decade
happened Il short distance from the
little station of Wanstead, Can, on
the Sarnia branch of the Grand Trunk
railway, Saturday night. The trains
in collision were the Pacific Express
ming nearly two hours late and was
making fast time. The freight was
cndeavoring to make Il siding to get
clear Of the express, but failed by Il
minute or two.
There was Il dreadful crash. the
locomotives reared up and fell over i'll
Il ditch, the baggage car OF the cX
press tclcscoped lie smollerand in an
instant the SllrickS and cries Of the
wounded and the dying Ei!cd the air.
The loss OF life is 2S. The injured
will number considerably more, and
many OF these may die.
Many Of the dead were terribly NIL
| t lated. Heads we e cut OFF, legs
wrcnchcd from the bodies and the
level stretch of SNOW became crimson
With the l,lcud uf the victims.
The responsibility for the accident
has not been definitely liked, but it is
believed to have been due TO a tclc-
graph opera tors error.
The operator at one Of the stations
| where the two trains stopped gave an
order to the freight to pass No. 5, the
Pacific Express. ut WanStead.
In the system Of the Grand Trunk
this ORDER should have been dilplicat-
cd, {; copy being given to the conduc-
tor and engineer Of the express. In
stead of this the conductor Of the cX-
press received Il clearance order, tell
ing Him to run right through. The
| freight train meantime had stopped
at Wanstcad, to Sidetrack. and was
trlcscopcd by the express. The blind
