So many disputes have arisen in the

BLOW IMPENDS IN
EXPORT OF WHEAT
Grain Piles Up at Canadian Lake

Winnipeg, Man., Sept. pa very

otherwise they will not carry another
bushel. Only two loads Of new grain
have left the elevators for Canadian
ports.
A strike Of this nature would prove
disastrous, should no agreement be
reached till all the elevators have been

of the biggest industry in the Canadian

TRAGIC MYSTERY
IN BRITISH TRAIN
Girl Found Murdered in Tunnel,
Thrown from Railway
~. '-..: p Car.

London, Sept. 26.-The Merstham
tunnel Of the London & Southeastern
railway, where the brutal murder of
Frederick I. Gold by Percy LEROY, alias
Mapleton, occurred June 81, 1881, again
has been the scene Of mysterious
tragedy, the details Of which are
markedly similar to that of quarter
of a century ago.
In the present case the victim is a
young woman, Mary Money, whose
body was horribly mutilated: A long
veil was tightly wedged in her mouth
and the police are confident that the
woman was murdered in the compart-
ment Of a train on which she was trav-
cling and that her body was thrown
from the car. The fact that none of
the doors of the train, on it's arrival at
Red Hill, was open, is considered to
prove conclusively that it was not a
case of suicide. Miss Money left her
home on Sunday evening, saying she
would not be gone long. :.
The affair thereafter is complete
mystery. No ticket was found on the
body and no one has been able to ex.
plain under what circumstances the
young woman boarded the train, mol
where she was going. If she was muir.
dered, as is supposed to be the case
the murderer disappeared without leav'
ing any trace.
