Boskell, engineer, badly scalded A dcspatch from Owen Sound says: Such is the list of injured in the railway wreck that occurcd at midnight on Thurs- day on the Canadian Pacific Railway at this point. The result, besides the in- jured, is the destruction of a big freight engine and the engine on the passenger train, the burning of the mail and ex- press car and the wrecking of the bag- gage car and smoker. The accident was a most peculiar one. Engine No. 1,400, which had just arrived with a freight train from Toronto, was run up on the roundhouse siding, and Engineer Griffith had left it and gone into the office. From some cause unâ€" known the enginc, of its own accord evi- dently, started to back up, and started down along the track at ever-increasing speed. The night‘passcngcr express, due here at 10 o’clock. was two hours late, and as it round-ed the curve at Murray’s Cut. and came down the grade at full speed met the runaway engine in front of the Keenan Lumber Company’s mills. The impact was terrific resulting in the wrecking of the engine and tender of the passenger train and converting it into scrap; and the tender of the runaway locomotive, which rebounded and went flying back on the rails toward town. The tender of the passenger coach tele- scopcd the mail and express car, which in turn splintered the baggage car back as far as the doorway. In the mail car Mail Clerk Kearns was other a iii an went to say good-bye to his wife. lie thought it was too bad to leave her to the revolver, in which Creighton pretends dcnce of having given the prisoner sumo chl-urcd ne tablets on Monday af- ternoon, and he came back for some sia‘ychnine, which he said he wanted to use to kill: a dog.

Owen Sound, May 31+William Bou- skill, the engineer on the passenger train which collided with the runaway engine in the C. P. R. yards on Friday night, died from his injuries shortly af- ter he was received at the hospital. Another death occurred on Sunday morning Robert E. Curran, the mail clerk, collapsed very unexpectedly and succumbed to the injuries which at first seemed to be little more than a frac- tured collar bone. He complained r'1 the shaking up that he had received, and for a few moments after the collision occurred. he was quite dazed.

Fort Churchill to Be Terminus of the Hudson’s Bay Railway. A dcspatch from Ottawa says: The first move in the direction of csiablfsh- ing a row outlet for western experts to the seaboard via the proposed Hudson‘s Bay route is now being made by the Government. A survey party, under the direction of Mr. Marrier, is being sent out by the Interior Department to lay out the townsite of Fort Churchill, the future metropolis of Hudson’s Bay and the terminus of the proposed Hud- son’s Bay Railway. The future city will be located on the eastern side of the river, oppositeihe ruins of Old- Fort Prince of Wales, and across the river from the Hudson‘s Bay Company trad- ing post. Plans and drawings of the harbor are also. being prepared under the direction of the department. The present population of Fort ChurChill consists of four hal-fbrecd families, a mounted policeman and one settler named William Beech. The lat- ter is the only man whose home is pitched on the future townsite.
