OAKyILLE HAPPENINGS

Mir Ouimette's farm, which is situ- ated few miles north of this village and is generally known as "Old F'rost's place." was devastated by fire late Tuesday evening The house, which was built only a few years ago when the old one burned down, and the barn were completely destroyed. The latter is said to have been filled with hay. The reflection of a fire was plainly seen from here, but as the house was vacant just then, MT Ouimette having moved his family to Waterbury, it was not known until yesterday what the burning was; in fact, even then scarcely any informa- ton could be obtained. The cause of the fire is as yet unknown.
 Clarence D. Fitts and w. F. Thomz as have gone to New York and Lau- rel Beach on a vacation.
 R. Fitzpatrick and his daughter, Mrs M. E. Riley, and grandson Rich ard, of Cleveland, O., who have been the guests of MT and Mrs R. Fitzpat- rick of Main street for two weeks, returned home to-day. The first men tioned person is Mir Fitzpatrick's uncle.
 It was lately announced in this col umn that the Rev MT and Mrs Lutz were staying at Mrs Slocum's on Newton Heights; it should have read the Rev MT and Mrs Root. Mir Root is pastor of the Third Congregational church of Waterbury. While making this little correction we wish also to make mention of their little son. Miss Grace Dill, stenographer at the Baird Machine factory, has re turned from weeks vacation spent at Walnut Beach
 Mrs G. Cunningham of Knob Hill went to Bridgeport to-day for few weeks visit with her brother, Elton Cunningham.

Tried to Carry American Flag Into
 Port Arthur.
 CHEFU, Sept 1.--Major l.. L. Sea man, U. s. A., has returned to Chefu after an adventurous attempt to enter Port Arthur. Leaving Chefun Major Seaman proceeded to Taikintau, one Of the Miaotau islands. Unable to obtain a junk here, he secured a lifeboat be- longing to q steamer recently wrecked, and, with four coolies as oarsmen and the third mate of the wrecked steamer, he started for Port Arthur. He car ried makeshift American flag with twenty-two stripes.
 A head wind and strong tide com pelled Major Seaman to return to his starting place at nightfall. He slept on the pebbly beach. On Aug. 28 he se- cured small junk and with favora- ble wind sped toward Port Arthur. He passed Japanese cruiser unnoticed and saw four battleships in the vicin- ity of the harbor's mouth. His junk drifted too close to the shere and it was fired upon by Japanese riflemen. Discovering the impossibility of laHd- ing in the face of the shore guard and warships, Major Seaman reluctantly wntlIrnad

THE CANADIAN WRECK.
Eleven Killed, Fifty Injured on Grand
 Trunk Railway.

RICHMOND, Que, Sept. 1.-Nine persons were killed outright, two oth- CTS have since died and fifty were in jured here in the worst railway acci- dent that has taken place in this prov ince since the Craig's road disaster in 1885.
 J. F. Blanchet, M. F. for St. Hya- cinthe, Quebec; Charles Simard of St. Hyacinthe, T. H. Racket, route agent Canadian Express company, and William Mountain of Windsor Mills are the dead identified.
 The excursion train had barely cleared the Richmond yard when, rounding a curve, 1t met the Island Pond train running at a high rate of speed. Both engine drivers reversed and, with their tiremen, jumped, es- caping with only minor injuries. The shock of the collision was plainly heard in Richmond, more than a mile away.
 The baggage car of the excursion train was picked up and dropped on top of the smoking car following it, and it was in these two cars that the greater number of fatalities occurred.
 The collision, it is asserted, was due to neglect of orders by the crew of the excursion train, which left Rich mond without awaiting the arrival of the passenger train.
 The regular No. Grand Trunk pas senger train from Island Pond, Vt., collided with the special fair train from Montreal to Sherbrooke. The train was packed with people. There was terrific crash, and the first two passenger cars in each train telescoped the baggage cars, while both engines were smashed to bits.
 Within five minutes there were nu- merous willing helpers on the spot, and the rescue was commenced. -Physi- clans were telephoned for from all over the surrounding country, and a special train was immediately sent from Sherbrooke with half a dozen doctors and nurses to aid them. Of the injured twenty-five are in a seri- ous condition.
 Several of the dead are so badly cut up and crushed that they are unrecog- nizable.
