Canadian Passenger Train Bound for

Great Heap-Wreckage Took Fire
and Rescuers Had Hard Fight.

Enderlin, N. d.. Dec. 24-Loaded to
its full capacity with people going to
their homes in the east to spend the
Christmas holidays, the southbOund
train on the Minneapolis, st. Paul &
Sault Ste. Marie crushed into a switch
engine in the west end of the railroad
yards at this place at 2:10 o'clock
Sunday morning. Eight men were
killed outright and one since has died
of his injuries. Twenty-seven were
seriously injured and 1t is likely that
the death list will be added to.
All of the fatalities occurred in the
smoking car, which was completely tel
escoped by the baggage car, and only
two of the occupants Of this car es-
capped injury. The car was crowded and
as the whistle had just sounded for En-
derlin, almost every one was on his
feet when the crash came, and the
dead and wounded were piled into a
great heap with the wreckage.
The wreckage took fire from the
overturned stoves used in heating the
cars and there was race between the
superhuman efforts the rescuers man
aged to fight off the flames until all
the dead and injured had been re-
moved from the wrecked cars, which
were then allowed to burn.
Only few passengers in the day
coaches were injured and in the sleep
ers, none of which left the track, there
were no casualties.

1t is impossible to learn who was
at fault in the accident. 1t is said that
the switch engine had been given a
portion Of the running time Of the pas
senger train in which to shift cars in
the yards and 1t is supposed that the
passenger had made up more of the
lost time than had been anticipated by
the crew Of the switch engine.
The engineers and tiremen on both
the switch and passenger engines,
when they saw that a collision was in.
evitable, leaped and saved their lives.

1t has been argued by some that the antici-
pated union of the Northern Presbyterians with
the Cumberlands would in sections of the South
and Southwest give the combined church great
strength, overshadowing the Southern Presby-
terlan churches This anticipation has been
Urged as a reason for the surrender of our
church, and union with the combination But
the tidngs from these sections are that, one after
the other, Cumberland Presbyterians are pre-
ferring to cast in their lot with the Southern
Church. At Rust and Jacksonville, Texas. for
example, this combination has been effected
and We hear of similar movements elsewhere
