TIE lEWS II I FIWIIPH PKS OF Hill PIWCIIS TWO KIL LED, FIYE IIJDBED Halifax Train Plunges Down a Ten-foot Embankment A despatch from Halifax says : The Halifax an<i Southwestern train, from Middieton to Lunen- burg, was wrecked near New Ger- many on Friday evening. Two men were killed and five persons were more or less badly injured. The accident, it was thought, was caus- ed by spreading rails. The engine and two or three box cars went along all right, but the baggage car and passenger car at the rear jumped and fell over a ten-foot embankment, lying on their side. In a few moments after the cars fell over the baggage car took fire, and the flames afterwards spread to the passenger coach, which held twelve persons. Within the bag- gage car were four men. Standing on the outside was Orien Sargent, the baggageman. He was thrown to the ground, and the car fell upon him, causing instant death. People ran to the baggage car and opened the door. They pulled out three men, aad, thinking that was all, they diverted their attention to the passengers. One man. Lock Mc- Laughlin, was, however, left, and he perished in the fire that burned the baggage car, if he had not been killed in its fall. Axes were used, and the skylights of the passenger coach were cut away and the pas- sengers were puUel out. They were seriously bruised, but none fatally injured.

K.- fwight cars heavily laden were thrown down the embankment west of the Hum- ber Hiver ou Sunday morning and pile<l in a heap just behind the Huuiber Bay Hotel. Most of the cars were reduced to kindling wikhI and their contents, consi.stuig al- most wholly of grain, was scatter- ed broadcast over the ground. The cars made up the greater part of a through freight train bound from Port Huron to Portland. The train was drawn by a heavy mogul en- . gine and left Mimico vards just be- fore 10 o'clock on its way into To- ronto. There were in all twenty- nine cars loaded with grain and lumber and to these was attached the caboose used by the train crew. As the engine was just about on «the big bridges, o.er the Humber River a flange on the wheel of one of the cars was torn out whc'i it j Was passing over a switch to a sid- i Ing use<l for construction work there. The fifth car behind the en- gine broke away and went tumb- ling down the embankment to the south, pulling tifteen or s.ixteeu more with it, and piling them up in a heap,. The last car was thrown down with such force that the coup- ling by which it was held to the others behind was snapped. The car in plunging down the hill came so close to the rear of the Humber Bay Hotel kept by William Miles that it struck and demolished a buggy in the yard. The breaking of the coupling on the last car to descend the hill alone save<l the lives of Conductor Her- bert Russell and his three breaks- men who were in the caboose at the rear of the train. The engine, the caboose and some ten or twelve cars did not leave the rails. The engineer and two firemen on the engine were only made aware of the accident by the crash of the ears ctniiing together at the foot vl the hill. NEW ISSUE OF STAMPS.
