R. train from Ma- niwaki to Ottawa had a narrow es- cape from death through the time- ly discovery by John Barker, a sec- tionman, of an attempt to wreck the train' through the placing of a barricade of planks, stakes. spikes and. a ladder on the tracks along the deep ravine by Louis Richard, an insane man. found wandering in the vicinity. Richard was arrested and sent for trial in the Hull Re- corder’s Court. Barker, while pro- ceeding down the track in advance of the train, found a switch near Burbidge Station open, with planks placed on the line,‘also a twelve- foo’r log and a twenty-foot ladder. Spikes had also been placed on the rails. Nearby he found Richard,‘ who, on being questioned, said that he wanted the train to run along another track. . “I have no use for the ballast train which is coming along, and I do not want it to come this way,” was Richard’s naive explanation. He will be examined by the doctors for insanity. ’ We PTOMAINE POISONING. - hiaisonncuve Family of Seven Near- ly Wiped Out. A despatch from Montreal says: Ptomaine poisoning nearly wiped out a family of seven, on Friday morning, when Dr. Cyphiot discov- ered Mr. and Mrs. Champagne and five children suffering severely at their home, 228 Vallee lane, Mai- sonneuve. The poisoning is attri- buted to a tin of canned corn that the family had for supper on Thurs- day night. The story told is that shortly after 7 o’clock on Thurs- day evening the family complained ‘ of pains. Mrs. Champagne seemed the worst. Though her husband felt- bad effects also, he was able to summon Dr. Cyphiot, who lives a short distance away. He immedi- ately administered antidotes. As tl‘e children at that time did not complain, it was not thought that they were affected. Friday morning, however, another hurry call was. sent to the doctor, and on his arâ€"l rival he found the whole family laid I “one up. Administration ‘of antidotes saved all the lives. _‘ “'â€">‘{< PASSED TIIE COMMONS. -a-a Declaration Bill Secured a‘ Large. Majority. A despatch from London says: The bill modifying the declaration on religion required of the King upon accession passed the House of Commons upon third reading on Friday by a vote of 225 to 52. In its final form the bill not only elimin- ates the phrases offensive to the Roman Catholic subjects of his Ma- - jesty, but it also makes it accept- able to the N onconformists by strik- ing out the proposed statement of adherence to the Established Church. King George is now re- quired to declare merely that he is a “faithful Protestant.” The amendment to the declaration aroused considerable feeling in England among the opponents 'of the Roman Catholic Church, and upon the second reading there were street demonstrations outside the House of Parliament. .
