Stalled Section Of the Train.

Port Huron, Mich, Oct. 10.-Six en-
ployes of the Grand Trunk railway
were suffocated to death by coal gas
early Sunday in the St. Clair tunnel,
which runs under the St. Clair river
from Port Huron to Sarnia, Ont A
coal train broke in two while passing
through the tunnel and three of the
train crew were suffocated while part
of the train lay stalled in the tunnel.
The engineer lost his life when he re-
turned and endeavored to push the
stalled cars back to safety and two
other rescuers perished in vain at
tempts to penetrate the gaseous atmos-
phere Of the great tube. The dead
are: A. S. Begg, superindent of terni-
nails; Engineer John Coleman, both OF
Port Huron; Conductor ]. B. Simpson,
Conductor D. T. Tinsley, Brakeman
Thomas McGrath and Brakeman D. A..
Willis, all of Sarnia, Ont.
The train, which entered from the
American side of the tunnel, was made
up Of seventeen coal cars. When it
broke, Engineer Coleman realized that
the accident had happened and with
the three cars that were still attached
to the engine steamed into the Sarnia;
yards, hastily detached his engine and
went back into the tube for the stalled
cars. He attempted to push them
back through the tunnel and out to
the American port. The grade proved
too steep and the attempt was a fail
ure. The engine and cars rolled back
into the gas laden tunnel and Conduc
tor Coleman was suffocated at his
post. His fireman. Fred Forrest
stepped into the partly filled water
enough air to preserve his life, al
though he is in serious condition.

strongest and most active of the negroes
can secure seating or standing room,

southwestern portions of the city have been
known TO stand on Court Square for two
hours waiting for street car accommodations
while car after filled with negroes
swept by bound for the negro park.
The complaint is not confined to the cars
