Every day that we live there are a
thousand ways in which we cen make
ourselves useful; we may do a small
deed or we may do heroic one: we may
speak a kind word that will help 10
close the wounds of some poor aching
soul. or. at the same time. we might
have spoken an angry one that would
have caused the wound to bleed forth
afresh
Lies day is very short. Therefore
we cannot afford to lose any time: we
must keep busy. There are great many
people in the world who use their efforts
toward self-advancement only. never
thinking Of their needful fellow-men. But

Terrible Wreck on the Canadian

CAUGHT LIKE RATS IN TRAP
Coaches Hurled From Bridge to
Frozen Stream Below.

mates of the number of persons killed
when four cars of a Canadian Pacific
passenger train plunged down an en-
.bankment into the ice covered Span
ish river vary from forty to fifty. The
official list of known dead issued by
the railroad company numbers eight
and the injured t~wenty-four.
The cars are still buried in the river
with only their ventilators showing
above the broken ice and the number
of dead which they contain may not
be known for several days, although
the railway company is making efforts
to raise the sunken cars. Eighteen of
those killed were in the second class
car and most of them were foreigners,
whose names are difficult to ascertain.
1t is known that there were sixty pas
sengers in the first class car and it is
believed there are five bodies in the
dining car. OF the injured four died
and others are in a dying condition.
The train when it left Sudbury car
ried in the neighborhood of 100 souls.
1t was made up as follows: Engine.
mail and baggage car, express, second
class coach, %colonist, first class coach,
dining car and Pullman.
Spanish river is t~hirty-eight miles
from Sudbury. The railroad at this
point cuts into the side of a hill and
crosses the river over an iron bridge.
Going at a Fast Rate of Speed.
The bridge was approached at a fast
rate of speed and the engine, mail.
baggage and express cars were on the
structure. From reasons not yet as
certained the trucks Of the second
class coach jumped the track. The
coach struck the bridge abutment and
was split in two as clean as though
with a huge cleaver.
The momentum of the train carried
the half of the second class coach, the
'olonist car, first class car and dining
car down the bank and into the river.
The Pullman fell over on its side near
the tracks.
Caught like rats in a trap every pas
senger on the half of the second class
coach, colonlst car and first class
coach was drowned and only the mos
heroic efforts saved eight persons from
the diner.
With such force were the cars
hurled down the bank that they cut q
wide swath in the t~welve-inch thick
ness of ice which covered the river
Even if any persons succeeded in
breaking through a window they were
almost surely trapped under the ice
and never had a chance for theil
lives. This is true of half of the sec
ond class car, the colonist car anc
the first class car, from which only
two are known to have escaped.
