The coroner says Mrs. Van Zandt was first choked unconscious, then bound and gagged with strips torn from 8 Jace curtain and placed across the stove, with her head in the flames of the burner.

The polive have discovered that Van Zandt has been paying attentions Lo a young girl for some time.

Dr. Liwyd, preaching at St. George's cathedral, on Sunday, from Hebrews ii, 9, "Lord, what is man," said that he first problem 'of human petites is human nature itself. Al ot. prob are d up in it, whether - sociological or of whatever character. Our view of man determines otir attitude to the world and the in- dividual, > Materialism redubes aggregate of atoms. It rn him #8 a peculiar form of with- in the universe. In its of ory iging there is nothing but a primal cell. Our power of thought and will and feeling re out specialised activ- y man to a mere ities of a contrived ma- chine. But materialism refutes itself, for a primal cell which contains the promise and potency of the genius of a Shakespeare, the music of a Bee thoven, or the soul of a Bt. John, is not 4 Goll, it is a God. 8 the pantheistic view of man which could treat him as a transient phase of the individual life is equally ible. It annihilates persomality, it fills life with illusion, it destroys the eternal distinction between right and wrong, and makes all the punish- ments of society or the recompenses of virtue alike unjust, since there is neither man to receive them, nor re sponsibility to suggest mer No an swer satisfies but that which suggests the spiritual identity of the human being. The best science of our century has helped us to understand the teaching of scripture on this point. Man is the roof and erown of things, the product of a steady ascent from the eell to the plant, from the plant to 'the animal, from the animal to the savage, from the savage to the civilized man, from the civilized man to the Christ, who stands at the summit of the staircase of being, the point where that which drew at first from out the boundless deep turns again. home and touches God. Such a view of human devel. ent is 'man's honor, not his degradation, The lowness of his be ginning fades out of sight in the glory of his achievement. Cast the light of this grand figree upon man's future and see what vistas of sower open out from it. Our present century is great, but it is nothing to our future. Shed its lustre upon the individual, and his vice, his wicked- ness, and his present despair sink into nothin wn beside his inextinguishable possibilities of good. Wonderful age as this may be, it in but the com- mencement of the unfolding of that which is in store. Dark and sad and full of misery as are some parts of human life 'and society, the success of our struggle out of the brute inherit- ance thus far throws a beam of ever- lasting Hope upon the prospect before us, a hope that somehow at the last good shall be the goal of ill, and that each individual by the grace of God may ultimately fulfil the highest law of his being, and through Christ come into possession of the satisfaction that leads to happiness and peace. ------------------ WINNIPEG'S MILLIONAIRES.

London, Jan. 31.--One of the most serious railway idents in England since the disaster oe, a train at Salisbury, in » y Of curred at Stoat's Nest station, near London, on the London & Bright railway, on Saturday afternoon, Eight dead and about thirty injured were taken {rom the wreck. = Two third-class ears and a Puliman of a train from Brighton, travelling at a speed of forty miles an hour, crashed into the station. The third class cars were completely wrecked and a part of the building was demolished. The Pullman was thrown violently in- to the air, but was comparatively little damaged. Its passengers escap- ed with minor injuries. Accounts of the cause of the accident differ. One says that it was due to the derailment of a portion of the train, which jumped the points where the branch joins the line just outsi the station. Another account attei- bites the cause to the breaking of the cars. two third-class cars reargd almost on their ends, and toppled over on the platiorm, bringing down a mass of iron girders and timbers from the station. Robert J. Wynne, the former United States consul-general, at London, who was in the Pullman, escaped uninjur- ed. Tn describing the accident, Mr, Wynne said « "We were passing through Stoat's Nest st a rapid pace, when suddenly a part of the train jumped the rails, and began Lo» tear along the track on its side. The ear in which I was seated rocked so violently that many things were smashed. The passengers were preparing to escape when the car stopped with a crash. I looked out of the window and saw a man lying dead near the wheels. TI got ont and helped to pull another man from a ditch. He died before a doctor arrived. We found two more dead and a woman breathing her last. The third-class cars were lying on their sides, having been thrown against the stone em- bankments, and were smashed to tinders." Mr. Wynne thought 'the breaking of a coupling caused the accident. The critically injured were taken to a local hospital, where the others were brought to London. PRAISE FOR MRS. LINALL.

The general agent for district is Thomas Mille, 79 Clarence street, this city. The year 1909 for the Canadian branch, iu many and im- portant respects, has been a record one, . The new business was the largest and best inthe hist of the Canadi- an branch, uvamely, $1,600,000. The mortality rate was less than expect ed. The expense ratio decreased. The rate of interest on investments im- proved and a larger number of pol- icies were revived. Unless something very, unforeseen happens, the prospects average profits are very promising. This company, like several other and conservative companies, deemed it wise to pass their bonus at the close of 1907, but, nevertheless, several hundred thousand dollars were added to the reserves, and this money will also be available for bonuses at the next division of profits.
