.rra,.‘37}- x w 35 Bill ill TB Mystic Shriners Killed Southern Pacific. 'A despatch from Santa Barbara, Cali- fornia, says: Twenty-eight dead and a score injured on Sunday night comprise the causaltics due to the wreck at Hon- kla on Saturday of the Ismalia special train of New York and Pennsylvania Nobles ‘of the Mystic Shrine, who were returning home from the annual meet- ing of the Imperial Council of the Nobles of the Mystic Shriners at Los 'Angeles. The train, carrying 145 Shriners and -friends from Ismalia Temple, Buffalo; Rajah Temple, Beading, Pa., and neigh- boring cities, was running north at fif- ty miles, an hour on the Southern Pa- cific coast line, when the locomotive struck a defective switch at the sand- swept, siding at Honda, near the Pacific Ocean, along which the railroad runs, for a hundred miles north of Santa Barbara. The locomotive turned a som- ersault into the sands. The cars land- ed on the wrecked locomotive, and the coaches were crushed and took fire, but the flames were soon extinguished by uninjured persons from the two rear coaches. As Honda is isolated, it was not til-l late on Sunday that definite in- formation .of the wreck could be Oh? tamed. The bodies of twenty-five cf the victims are now at Santa Barbara, and the others at San Luis Obispo. The injured, many of whom are terribly hurt, and some of whom may die, are BLOOD SUCKED FROM BODY. Extraordinary Death of a Man in Re- frigerator Pipe. A despatch from Chicago says: Wal- ter Hunter, engineer for Armour and Company, met his death on Friday in an unheard of manner, when his blood was almost instantly drawn from his body by suction pressure of 400 pounds to the square inch in a refrigerator pipe on the roof of the Armour power plant at the . Stock Yards. Physicians who exam- ined the body declare that no similar case of‘violent death had ever come'to - their attention, Hunter’s life having been ' literally dragged from him by the resist- - less suction power, just as air would be drawn from a vessel by a vacuum pump. Hunter had been sent to repair a leak in a pipe through which the water runs from the refrigerating machinery to the reservoir. The enormous suction pres- sure in the pipe is believed to have drawn his leg into one of the pipes, where he was found dead five minutes after he had ascended to the roof. Ex- amination disclosed that his blood had been drained through the shattered arteries of his leg, which was destroyed by the terrific suction force, a power greater than is utilized to drive the swiftest locomotive.

A despatch from Ottawa says: Wil- liam Butland, for the past 30 years an employe of the Electrical Department of lithe Dominion Government, was found on Wednesday morning hanging from a l-bcam in the fowlâ€"house in the rear of This residence, Russell Road. The body was discovered by his wife. He had been dead some time. The deceased had been suffering from fits of despondency, and had endured periods of mental derange- ment for some years. He was a native ol the West of England, and came to this country some 35 years ago. in two sanitariums at San Luis Obispo. RUNNING AT TERBIFIC SPEED. The wreck occurred at 2.35 o’clock, an hour and forty minutes after the con- ciave visitors, forming a merry party, left Santa Barbara. They had spent all the morning there sightseeing. That the train was making terrific speed when it struck the defective track is borne out by the fact that it covered the 61 miles of crooked track from San- ta Barabara to Honda in 100 minutes. The locomotive in leaving the rails tore up the track, badly twisting the steel rails. The baggage car half buried it- self in the sand beside the locomotive. it was smashed almost to kindling wood. SCALDED TO DEATH. The dining-car, in which were 32 per- son-s eating luncheon, bounded into the air and fell directly on the demolished locomotive. Nearly every person in the dining car was instantly killed. Scores were scolded by steam escaping from disconnected pipes. ~ The rear coaches were buried into the wreckage, killing or injuring those who might otherwise have escaped. Several persons pinioned in the debris were roasted alive. Engineer Frank Champlain was pitch- ed with the cab 25 feet beyond the en- gine. He got up and ran a mile, seek- ing help, before he discovered that his arm was broken and that he was se- verer scalded. TWO ACCIDENTS TO TRAINS. Misplaced Switch Causes the Death of an Engineer. ' A despatch from Winnipeg says: A bad smashup took place in the C.P.B. yards at Portage la 'Prairie on Wednes- day morning between the yard engine and a wrecking train from Winnipeg, in which Engineer Daniel McDonald, in charge of the wrecking engine, was fatally injured and died in the hos- pital three hours later. The switch was left open, and Engineer McDonald did not see that it was open to the side track until he was almost on top of it. He tell just west of the switch, and his head struck an, old grain door lying beside the track. His skull was fractured. At 8.50 on Wednesday morning mixed train No. 154 had two coaches derailed two miles east of Pcttipiece, on the Bran- don-Mineola branch of the C.P.R., caused by a broken rail. The following passengers received cuts and bruises: W. F. Ellis, I-Iamiota; Mrs. W. F. Ellis, I-Iamiota; George L. Stone, Rapid City. Alen M. Stewart, of Winnipeg, and Mrs. Rosby, of Hamiota, also received some scratches and were badly shaken up. Damage to rolling stock was not heavy. ._._._..»I( KING ENTERTAINS PREMIERS.

'A despatch from Bellevillc say§ At an early hour on Sunday morning the large stone distillery and grist mill cf the II. Corby Company was reduced by fire to a mass of smouldering ruins. The premises are situated at the Village of Corbyville, which is upwards of five miles north of the city. The distillery was built upon the banks of the River Moira many years ago by the late Mr. Henry Corby, and was a fourâ€"storey stone structure with a basement. The stone-built. grist mill adjoins, and was .1in separated by a stone fire wall, At. about 4.30 the night fireman, named D. I-lubbs, upon the premises, smelled In a few minutes the entire premises were a mass of flames. The city fire brigade were notified and a steam en- gine, with a number of men and a quantity of hose, was despatched to the scene, and worked all day on the ruins. Owing to there being no wind at the time other large buildings, such as tank and warehouses, were saved. A tank containing 3,700 gallons of whis- key in process of manufacture was de- stroyed, and upwards of 200,000 pounds of barley, rye and corn. An empty box car belonging to the Grand Trunk Rail- way Company, lett standing in front cf the distillery, was destroyed. ‘ It is estimated the loss will be in the smoke, and upon opening a door icad- vicinity of $250,000, and the insurance jug from the engine-room to the dis- will be in the vicinity of $100,000 less iiilery proper was quickly driven back by flames, which almost enveloped thim.

A despatch from London says: Friday distant from Lahore. was the 50th anniversary of the out- break of the Indian Mutiny, which began at Mech on May 10, 1857. The coinci- dence IS somewhat alarming. The news fronrlndia, which dominates Friday morning‘s newspapers with this sinster jubilee, increases the anxieties which theprcsent happenings in the Indian Empire awaken here. That Sir Denzil Ibbelson, Lieutenant-Governor of the Punjab, whom Chief Secretary Marley the other day described in the House of Here, according, to a newspaper despatch, the Local Government realizes fully the extreme peril of the situation, and is prepared for military operations on a large scale. Nevertheless, its failure to check the sc- ditious movement promptly has, it. is added, resulted in a state of revolt. Thousands of Dacoits, consisting of both Hindus and Mohammedans, are roam- ing in the Mymen Singh district, plun- dering and burning villages, and ill- treating loyal natives, many of whom Commons as one of the ablest and mostlhave been murdered. experienced administrators in India, should have summoned big military re- inforcements to Lahore and postponed his own departure from that city, is re- garded as adding to the gravity of the Situation. The India Office has issued nothing on the situation, although it is understood it is in constant communi- cation with the Viceroy. Pending some oflicral declaration the newspapers com- ment sparingly, but print their own and the news agencies’ news conspicuously. Such comments as printed call for firm action by the Government. Some recent statements in the House of Commons by Mr. Morley and his ap- proval of the deportation of LalaLajpat Ra: betray no sign that he is disposed to underestimate the possibilities of the Situation. ALSO IN EASTERN BENGAL. Although for the moment the Punjab seems to be the chief centre of the trou- ble, it is noteworthy that there is in- creasing unrest among the natives in Eastern Bengal. This seems to centre in the Mymen Singh district of the lat- ter province, which is a thousand miles MANY AGITATORS ARRESTED. Thirty-seven agitators have been. ar- rested by the military police, who are trying to stamp out the movement. The despatch further says that seditious litâ€"t crature has been spread broadcast through Eastern Bengal, and that the rioting at Rawal Pindi has been distorted into a triumph of the natives against. the British. Loyal natives of the better class are writing to the newspapers and authori- ties, urging the necessity for prompt measures. They declare that the antiâ€" European movement.“ has gained .im- mense strength in Bengal since ,the reâ€". signation of the late.Lieutenant-Gover-~ nor, Sir Bampfylde Fuller, who was- forced to relinquish his post because he tried to suppress the present agitation in the native schools. The participation of Mohammedans in: the Mymen Singh outrages shows clear-- iy that the movement. is directed against British rule inst-cad of being a fight be-- tween Hindus and Moslems, as was at: first supposed. and prices were firm to strong. Choice cattle sold from $5.10 to $5.40, and me- dium from $4.90 to $5.05 per cwt. Choice butchers’ cattle sold at $5 to $5.20; fair to good butchers’, at $4.50 to $4.90; good cows, $4 to $4.50, and me- dium cows, $3.50 to $4 per cwt. ' Heavy feeders, 1,050 to 1,100 lbs, sold at $4.50 to $4.75; short-keeps brought $4.70 to $4.85, and stockers were selling at $3.25 to $3.75 for fair, and $3.90 to $4.25, for good ones. Good grain-fed lambs are quoted at. $7.50 to $8 per cwt; common lambs at $5.50 to $0 per cwt; spring lambs, $3 to $3 each; export ewes firm .at $0 to $6.50; bucks, $4.50 to $5.50. , Liberal deliveries of hogs were re- corded. The prices of selects were firm at $6.50, and lights and fats brought $0.25 per cwt. -_,-â€"â€"aa-â€"_â€"â€"I_ TIIE KAMINSKY MURDER. The Mounted Police Make Arrests at Rosthern, Sask. A despatch from Rosthern, Sask., says: The Mounted Police have unravel- led the mystery surrounding the mur- der of Michael Kaminsky here last Jan- uary. Kaminsky was killed in a fight near the elevators, and the body was left hanging over the fence some dis- tance from the scene of the crime. Dc- tectivcs have been at work ever since, and on Thursday the police arrested three Galiciansâ€"Joseph Rogozinsky and his . nephew, Jasky Rogozinsky and Maxim Sladnik, who are believed to be the guilty parties. The preliminary ex- amination was held behind closed doors, but enough is known to indicate that the police are certain of their men.

Lumber Company Buys Out Cook 7 Brest: A despatch from Toronto says: A deal in rlumbcr'properlies{has just been closed whiclris the largest single pur- chase in the history of the lumber trade of Canada. Immense properties are involved, and the purchase price, it is said, is in the neighborhood of: two million dollars. The sale, which was recorded on Wednesday, marks the pass- ing away of one of the pioneer lumber companies of the country, and greatly increases the prestige and power of the purchasing company. The vendor is the Cook Bros.

'I‘he timber berths are numbers 147,, 157, 149, 150, Scarfe Township and an ludian reserve on Georgian Bay. The Crown Lands Department was unable tostate the price paid, but it is under- stood lhat it was very little short of two milliondollars. .
