Quebec, Jan, 15-A searching in vestigation has just been held into the causes of the accident on the LCR. at St; Michael, Bellechasse, as a re "ult of which twenty people were more or less injured. Mt is understood that the accident was due to the fact that the engineer was performing the du- ties of his fireman, who was so tired that he was taking a rest.

The largest of the fleet is owned by Fred- erick Heans, who has the record for aj run to Rothesay from Millidgeville, having covered the distance to that place "and 'back, a distance of eigh- teen miles, in seventeen and one-half minutes.
