The Peace CONGRESS- Adlourns.

Boston, Oct. 1o.-There were two
aspects memorable in their nature, ac-
cording to the delegates themselves,
which have made a pronounced i'm
preston during the deliberations OF
the international peace congress
which was brought to close
Saturday in this city, after many
meetings extending throughout the
week. One of these was that the
congress, together with its numerous
public gatherings, which were held
under It's auspices, constituted one of
the most remarkable educational infiu-
ences ever observed in America. The
second aspect of the convention was
that this years congress should prove
of vast efficacy towards the attain
ment of universal peace. The con-
gress was adjourned Saturday to con-
tinue its work in 1905 at Lucerne,
Switzerland.

Pleas Judges Dillon, Biggar and Rath-
nell yesterday suspended all sessions
of court and after considering all
the charges of tampering with jury
men, ordered a special grand jury to

COAL TRAIN BROKE IN TWO.
SIX MEN ARE suFFocATED BY
DEADLY COAL GAS.
Fatal Accident in the ST. Clair Tunnel
Three Of the Victims Met
Death While Trying to
Rescue Others.

Port Huron, Mich, Oct. 10.-Six en-
ployes of the Grand Trunk railway
were suffocated to death by coal gas
early yesterday in the st. Clair tunnel
which runs under the St. Clair river
from Port Huron to Sarnia, Ontario. 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 at
mosphere of the great tube.
The train which entered from the
American end of the tunnel was made
up of II 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 out of the tunnel
into the Sarnia yards. He hastily de-
tached his engine and went back into
the tube for the stalled cars.
When his engine reached them he
attempted to push them back through
portal. The grade proved too steep
however, and the attempt was a fail
ure. The engine and cars rolled back
into the gas laden tunnel and Engineer
Coleman was suffocated at his post
in the engine cab. His fireman, Fred
Forester, with great presence of mind
jumped into the partly filled water
tank of the engine, where there was
enough air to preserve his life, al
though he is in serious condition.
When news of the broken train
reached the American side of the tun-
mel, Superintendent Begg, accompa-
MED by two other employees, started in
on foot, hoping that the train was near
enough to the entrance SO that they
might rescue and carry out some OF
the crew. They had gone but a short
distance when the coal gas became
sitting and Beeg succumbed. The
other two rescuers succeeded in
crawling to the portal of the tunnel on
their hands and knees.
Meanwhile preparations were being
made at the Sarnia end of the tunnel
to rescue the imprisoned train crew
An engine with a party of rescuers
entered the tube and had proceeded
but short distance when they found
John Haley, track walker, lying
upon the track. He was taken out and
again the engine plunged into the
gaseous atmosphere. The rescuers
were overcome, however, by the gas
before the train was reached, and
Brakeman McGrath died. Switchmar
Blake, who was member of the
party, after time made another at.
tempt to penetrate the gas, and this
time succeeded in reaching the stalled
engine, coupled it to the cars and rar
| the train out into the daylight.

THE UNITED STATES WILL SOON

A Crop of 100000 Bushels OF

The results of the threshing in

ent prices this will add to the wealth
Of the farmers nearly 100000, 900. Then
think of the immense yield of oats and
barley and the large herds of cattle
for all of which good prices will be
paid.
The following official telegram was
sent by Honorable Clifford Sifton, Min
lister of the Interior, to Lord Strath-
