Train Kills Bride.

OTTAWA, Ont, Sept. 15.-Over-
taken by heavy locomotive on a steep
incline down which they were rush.
ing on a railroad motor car at the
rate of twenty miles an hour in an eff
fort to reach shelter from a terrific
rainstorm, Mrs. William Dean of Buff
falo, a bride of six weeks, and her
stepfatrer, William Voden, were lit
orally torn to pieces today near Lon
don. The rain was so heavy that the
engineer and fireman on the locomo-
tive did not know that the motor car
was on the rails in front of them.
The tragedy was pathetic in itself,
but when the trainmen learned from
friends of the family that Mr.. Dean
had gone on a yachting trip on Lake
Erie several days ago, that no tidings
had been received since from either
him or his yacht, and it was feared he
had been drowned in a storm which
swept over the lake, their grief was

SEPARATION OF HUNGARY AND
AUSTRIA is GROWING RAP
IDLY IN SENTIMENT.
Much Interest Being Taken In the
Meeting of Hungarian Parlia-
ment Now In Session.

VIENNA, Sept 15.-Conservative
circles are looking forward with con-
siderable apprehension to the action of
the Hungarian parliament which con-
many years the sentiment in favor
of a separation of Hungary from Aus
tria has been growing and the sep
arationist faction among the national
lists mas been gaining in strength to
such an extent that it seems a crisis
is imminent
The imperial government, which is
warmly supported by the German
speaking provinces of the dual mon
archy, has foreseen the impending
crisis and has taken steps to prevent
any attempt on the part of the Hun
garian nationalists to bring about sep
aration. When the Hungarian parlia-
ment was opened in July it was feared
that the separationists would force the
issue by proposing separation in open
parliament. To prevent the execution
of this plan parliament was adjourned
until today on the day of it's opening.
In the mean time the imperial govern
ment has taken precautionary steps to
resist, if necessary with force of arms
any attempt of the Hungarian separa-
tionists to bring about disruption of
the dual monarchy. Under the SUI
pervision of Archduke Francis Ferdi-
nand the heir to the throne, who rep
resents the aged emperor in the SUI
preme command of the army, extern
sive preparations for campaign have
been made and now, it is said, the I'M
perial government is fully prepared
for any emergency. Notwithstanding
that fact considerable apprehension
is felt in regard to the probable action
of the Hungarian parliament the ses-
sion of which was opened today 1t is
hoped that the conservative elements
will be strong enough to prevent vio-
lent scenes and seditious utterances
sion today was rather turbulent, but
nothing occurred that would have
called for the interference of the gov
eminent.
