Just after the train left Westmount
station. The engineer was blown from
his cab and the fireman so injured that
he either fell from his cab or jumped
Mark Cunningham of Montreal West.
was the engineer. He was carried to
the General Hospital aud his sufferings
were SO intense that he never rallied.
People in the neighhorhood of the
station, when they saw the train rushing
madly on to chaos, knew that some.
thing was wrong in the cab of the
engine as no sane employe would have
allowed the train to run at such break
neck speed, if within his control.
When the train struck the massive
walls of Windsor station and sent its
message of horror laundering around,
the engine, with almost human madness
leaped upon the debris of wood and
stone, then stood still like a gladiator
in the arena over his defeated victim,
seemingly conscious of its destructive,
ness.
Probably the saddest incident in con-
nection with the accident was the death
of Mrs. W. j. Nixon aud two children
who had come to greet the husband
and father, dispatcher on the {. p. r.
The accident was one of the widest
scenes of death and confusion that has
startled Montreal in many years, None
of its victims had the least forewarning
of what was in store for them aud the
sight of the engine crashing into the
station must have been so appalling that
it seemed unreal-beyond the power of
description.
This accident is peculiarly sad to
the people OF Island Pond, inasmuch as
four of the five killed were former resi-
dents. 1t was here that Mark Cunning
ham, the driver, spent his boyhood days
and grew up to young man. He left
town in the early eighties. Mr.. Nixon
was train dispatcher here a few years
since, and with his wife and children
occupied the tenement over 0. l.. Man
sur's store.

In the fall of 1875 / bought one
pound of white pine seed for which |

eight acres of land, where The wood had
been cut off and fire had run.
l had it planted eight feet apart each

ever, did come up and grew wonder

in the wood. 1t was twelve inches in
diameter up twelve feet and showed
twenty-five grains there, showing that
it grew twelve feet in height in seven
years. At twenty-four feet in height
it was seven inches in diameter and
showed fifteen grains, or that it took
seventeen years to reach a height OF
twentyfour feet.
The first log scaled rs feet, the second
log 90 feet, making Ill feet by the

An East Room.

An east room is something we cannot
always help. especially in town. What TO
do with IL. to render It less gloomy and
cheerless has puzzled many a housekeeper.
As matter Of fact, an actual effect Of
sunlight can be given by careful choice
OF colors and furnishings. One room was
warmed up considerably by the use Of cur
tains which had In them a sort OF design
I'm faint, dull pink. which gave a rosy
light 10 the room. However, this is an
effect not to be attempted by a person
who does not walk pretty surely among
matters Of color.
A similar scheme is to select warm,
two-toned yellow paper, with a white
ceiling. Have the wood work painted
white. and the curtains OF the thlnnest
kind Of white net. Window shades should
be eitler white or cream color. and IL one
wishes outer curtains they are pretty
made Of thin yellow silk. II poss bic,
enamel the furniture white. II this cannot
be done. at least'cover II with yellow and
perhaps a relieving touch OF dull blue al
though much blue defeats the end of the
whole scheme Of decoration. A soft brown
rug on the floor would be a lovely finish
10 the room.
Evening journal., 1909-03-22
Concerning skirts.

All of the recent designs show the
same smooth fit over the hips, but a
decidedly fuller effect below. while re-
tanning the straight lines. That more
fulness is being demanded is shown in
the prevalence of applied ilounces noted
among the very smart i'm dress and
street costumes. In the latter this
point is particularly noticeable, and is
interesting because heretofore the
flounce has not been a success in con-
nection with a walking skirt. AS an
illustrated a 3-piece suit in cardboard
blue serge has the skirt in two upper
sections. the front overlapping the
back at either side. with braid loops
and buttons for decoration, fastening
being in the back At the knee depth
a straight hounce, cut square across
the back and curved to give deep points
at the sides is applied in seam. This
is another small innovation worthy Of
note-that the flounces in almost every
case are Joined to the main body Of
the skirt in a seam and without any
attempt to mark the line by trimming.
There was no further decoration OF this
chic little costume. but the jumper
waist was fashioned of bands of braid
ing on the serge. one outlining a point
ed bodice and another crossing under
the arm to meet il. II was designed
to be worn over a blouse.
