Annie Corcoran, twenty years old.
Robert French, twenty years old.

this blew out the fuse and the car
was stalled. Then Learned plunged
head first through the window, and
the crash followed. The car was
struck full in the centre and carried
200 yards up the track. Learned, the
motorman, when he saw what had
happened, is said to have tried to
dash out his brains against curb
stone.
The dead were so horribly mangled
that for long time their closest rela-
tives, were unable to identify them,
and the undertakers had trouble in
getting the bodies together.
Fortune st. Pierre, passenger on
the trolley, probably owes his life to
the fact that he broke his pledge of a

he went to the front platform and got

leaped from the door just before the

CHRISTMAS TREE HARVEST.
About 10000 to Come This Year
From New Brunswick.


st. Stephen, N. B.-Cutting of fir
trees in New Brunswick for export
to the United States, to be used as
Christmas trees, has reached larger
proportions this season than ever be-
fore. The American buyers have
found that it is much cheaper to get
the trees from Canada than from
Maine, the Canadian stumpage price
and wages for labor being much be-
low the American rates, and with no
duty imposed on the expectation of
the trees, the conditions all favor
Canada in it's rivalry with Maine for
the Christmas tree business in the
United States. 1t is estimated that
the province of New Brunswick will
export at least 10000 trees to tho
American market during the next
month for the Christmas trade. The
prices offered are generally regarded
as high.
