Over their heads ran the high tension power wins which supplied the factory. The wires were Supported in the usual way and held firm by guy wires running to the ground. In order to go on with tlie'r work the carpenters found it necessary to remove [the guy wires, as th':y were in the way. In loosening the wires they Bagged considerably, so much so that l 1 they came in contact with the power wires. The current under a was sufficient to kill both men instant- ly.

R.’s New Western Ex- tlcnsictn Near ’l‘ottenham. To tlenham , Ont., A dos-patch from Friedrichshafen, Germany, says: A second ascent was made on Wednesday evening by Count Zeppelin in his new airship with'a view to testing an improved sideâ€"stcei-in g gear, which has just been installed. On the first ascent Count Zeppelin‘dcciared that he was satisfied with everything except the sidesteering arrangement, which had not come up to his expecta- tions. This now has been altered, and the change has given excellent results. The test on Wednesday night lasted a little over two hours, during which time the most difllcult manoeuvres were car- ried out without a hitch. The great airship first circled around the Town of A dos-patch from , says: The- C. P. R. train for Winnipeg. Which left Toronto on Saturday night carrying two hundred passengers, was derailed about two miles north of Tot- tenham at 11.40 pm. Five coaches were thwwn down an embankment between fifteen and twenty fret, fotu' turning completely over. The tender and bag- gage and mail cars remained. on the track. There were none killed, but two WW. women are seriously injured. In 1 bout tWCl'lly-IIVC were injured, some very slightly. The rolling stock and roadbcd appeared to be in good order, and the train was running about the usual speed. ' The passengers were taken to Totten- ham early Sunday morning, where they wore given every comfort possible, and at one o’clock in the afternoon were con- veyed back to the scene of the wreck and passengers and baggage transferred to a special, which took them, on their journey. Four of the more seriously hurt and some who did not desire to continue on their journey were taken to 'l‘cronto. Although the track will be passable, the cars being thrown free of the road-bed. but it will be days before the coaches will be extricat;d from the ditch. RUINED BY 'CANKER “’ORM. Orchards. A despatch from Halifax, N. S., says: The canker worm has suddenly attacked the fruit region of Nova Scotia and caused immense less. Blossoming was exceedingly promising and the outlook to" a great crop was very hopeful. This has been changed within a week and now a large number of Orchards are badly scorched and many others are hard hit by this pest, though in a les- ser degree. In some cases foliage in nearly all of the trees has been com- pletely withered. The affected area ex- tends» from end to end. A strange fea- ture is that some orchards where spray- ing was less carefully practised have escaped, while alongside the most care- fully treated trees are affected very seri- ously. The effect on the whole crop cannot be exactly predicted at this time, but individual loses will be very heavy. The theory is that June rains washed the spray off the trees so that protection of the poison was absent when the at- tack of the worms came on. It is many years since Nova Scolia orchards were similarly affected. TI IE INJURED Mrs. John Sword, Parry Sound, face badly cut and serious internalinjuries. in Toronto Wes-tern Hospital.
