WREUK iii Seven Coaches Leave the Rails---Eight Passengers Injured. A despatch from Woodstock, Ont., says: A trainload of passengers had a miraculous escape in an ac- cident just west of Gobles station, ten miles east of here, at five ' o’clock on Thursday morning. No. 4 G._T. R. eastbound express was running along through a deep bush at the rate, it is said, of fifty miles an hour, when the train apparent- ly struck a broken rail. The engine and front end of the first car kept the track, then the next seven coaches were tumbled over the tracks and rear coach stayed on. Two of the coaches left the tracks and were half buried in the earth. Fortunately all kept upright, and it was probably due to this that passengers escaped so well.

The fire started in the general store of Mr. Lazure, situated in the center of the village, just in front of the par’sh church. The flames soon but for aid from Montreal the whole town would have burned. Four .in- dividuals were seen prowling around the village on Friday morn- ing. As they were believed to be the bandits of St. Eustachen they were ordered to leave within an hour, or they would be arrested. Among the destroyed buildings are the restaurant of Alex. Tayrent, Dr. Trudeau’s office, the residence of M. J. D. Black, the Ste. Marie store, and the residences of Mr. A. Taillon and Mr. Lcsame.

The fire cenâ€" tered in the vicinity of the Mount Sicker mining camp, where all save five buildings in what is quite a flourishing mining village went up ir. flames. The cream of the island’s most accessible timber wealth has been licked up by the fires, and the C. P. R., the Victoria and Chemain- us Lumber Company and the Cowi- chan and Ladysmith Lumber Com- panies are heavy sufferers, their losses running far into six figures. It is estimated that forest fires thus far this season throughout British Columbia have caused loss- es approximating $25,000,000. The heaviest of these losses was in the Crow’s Nest section, where the de- struction of the Town of Fernie was a heavy contribution to the paralyzing total. 11 a.m. the business portion of Raw- hide avenue was a smoldering ruin, the flames being finally checked south of Balloon avenue. Collin’s hardware store, containing two tons of dynamite, exploded, hurling burning planks and boards a great distance and setting fire to numbers of buildings simultaneously. Many persons were injured by flying deâ€" bris, but none seriously. >2! - GOOD NEWS FOR THE S00. The Algoma Steel Works to Start Again Soon. ' A despatch from Sault Ste.
