"u.“ yuuvlv--D'_~_ Following closely was a train consisting of 12 cars loaded with square timber, de- stined for the Collins Bay Rafting Com- pany, who are rafting the timber at this place. It was stated that this train was und‘é‘r too great a speed. The first in- timation which was heard of anything wrong was the shrill' whistle for breakes by the engine of the timber train as it ,rounded the curve near the junction of I the gravel road. The passenger train was then going slowly, only just getting under headway, and was unable to get out of the way. On came the timber train and it was seen that a pitch-in was inevi- table. The fireman of the latter train, named Miller, jumped just as the coach ‘ was struck, The engineer, however, re- . mained at his post. The iron horse plunged into the coach among the pas- sengers and splinters, glass and iron work were scattered in all directions. The pas- senger train was in this manner carried some 200 yards by the other train before a stoppage was effected. The interior of the coach was stripped of everything, and the engine of the timber train was encased in the frame work, the smoke stack being driven up through the centre of the roof. Willing hands were soon on the spot to render such assistance as was needed. By these who witnessed the disaster it was expected that a. number were killed, but this happily was not the case. THE INJURED. A wrecking train was made up and sent out to the scene to bring in some of the wounded, some of whom were removed to the hospital, and others were taken to their homes. Whilst a number were badly injured, none were, it is thought, fatally hurt. The names of the injured and the nature of their injuries are as follows : LL_A- Wmfifiqrfiasieâ€"EGSei-vices at 11 A.

The official inquiry by the officers of the line will be held to-morrow. There was very little interruption to traffic. Both engines brought their trains through to Belleville. The first-class car was the only one damaged. The engines were slightly damaged. 1 7â€"1 1-- “-L -L ’D" "'J “““ 0 Where the blame is attached has not at present been determined, but a searching investigation will be held by theauthorities of 'the road. The timber train, it appears did not leave the North Hastings Junction until some forty minutes had elapsed after the departure of the Madoc passen- ger train. It is also said that the latter train Was some 15 minutes behind time in reauhing Corbyville. which delay was no doubt caused by the numerous stopâ€" pages thnt are made for the taking on of Passengers. 0 I a r______.] :L :n :m 1(BDQ \‘l I " L I. a 5" Where the accident occurred it is im- possible to see a distance of more than 200 yards ahead, and it would be almost im- possible to bring a heavily loaded train to a standstill in so short a space; and at that- point it is also necessary to get under great headway for the up-grade which is situated a short distance beyond. The engineer of the lumber train exhibited considerable courage reversing his engine and remaining at his post when going, to all appearance, into the jaws of death. After the train was brought to a stand- still, he had to use a hammer to break the glass on the side of the Cabin of the engine in order to extricate himself. Another ‘ remarkable feature about the accident i was. that not a wheel was off the track. was, JUDGE LYNCH IN CONNECTICUT. A Mob Hauls Frank Nearing With a Rope Around His Neck. NEW MILFORD. Conn, May 20.â€"-Whi1e Mrs. Charles Nearing, the wife of a wealthy resident of Lanesville, was wait- ing for a twain at the railway station here her brother-in-law, who is about 22 years old and mrfie¢ drove up to the station, and jumping from his buggy informed his sister-in-law that he was just about to drive to Lanesville and asked her to ride with him. When about a mile outside 1 the village he turned his horse into a road leading through a mountain and away ‘ from Lanesville. Upon inquiring the cause of his taking this road the sister-in- law was informed that he had a message to leave with a farmer living about three miles further along. 1‘ lll‘lvv an- -- The road is a. lonely one and is seldom used. There is but one house on its en- tire length. This is occupied by the above-men‘. ioned farmer for whom Nearing said he had a message. When, however, about a. mile further along Mrs. Nearing said that. her brot-her-in-law began to make improper advances, and seizing an oppor~ tunity she sprang from the carriage. ,r 31-,1 ”“‘“"J -'--' ‘1’"""c1 v But young Nearing was not to be foiled. Immediately he sprang after her, letting the horse g0 madly galloping away. In springing from the carriage Mrs. Nearing fell, slightly spraining her ankle, and beâ€" fore she could rise young Nearing sprang upon her and literally tore her dress into shreds. He left his sister-in-law lying by the road and fled into the woods. 3 1 LI, ._ -11-..- Ul-V _ ., _, V, Mrs. Nearing, more dead than alive, dragged herself towards the house of the farmer, but had not proceeded far when she was met by the farmer and his hired man, who had been alarmed by the team galloping madly past the house. The farmer and his hired man assisted Mrs. Nearinfi to his house, when he at once started for New Milford and notified the authorites. An armed force of officers was at once despatched to search for young Nearing and at 11 o’clock Saturday night he was captured hidden in the interior of the woods. He was immediately lodged in jail here and, anticipating trouble, an armed force of oflicers was detailed to guard the prisoner. 1 774_L___J,. __ -.- A...‘un~ bu“-.â€" v--- At about 3 o’clock yesterday morning the officers, who were all stationed in the room adjoining the cell in which the prisoner was confined, were surprised by the bursting in of the door, and severaI hundred men, wearing white masks, sprang upon them. The ofiicers were too drowsy to intelligently use their revolvers ‘ ‘ and they were bound hand and foot. The key to Nearing’s cell was soon taken from the pocket of one of the officers, and the prisoner, who was now loudly crying for mercy, was roughly seized and bound also hand and foot. A rope was loosely slipped around Nearing’s neck, while the mob, carrying him with them, hurried tow-ard a. tree near by. 1.- p By this time the entire population of the town had been aroused by the noise of the scufiie in the jail, toward which they began to hurry. The lynchers, however, were set in their determination to sling up ‘ the young man, and, seeing the crowd, be- gan to tighten the rope around his neck. The foremost men in the crowd now whip- ped out their revolvers and began wildly firing toward the lynchers. At the comâ€" mencement of the firing the lynchers fled, and all of them made good their escape al- 50 Cents though it is_ b.elieved that wereVWOunded, Nearing had been left lying at the foot of the tree. He was found in an uncon- scious state. The noose was quickly de- tached from the young man’s neck and he was hurriedly carried into the jail. where he was soon restored to consciousness by several physicians. Further trouble is anticipated. Ontario as 3. Wheat Country. The World says :â€"The impression ap- pears to have gone aboard that Ontario’s day as a wheat producer (for export is gone past, and that from this time‘ for- ward dairy-farming, or raising something else other than wheat, will have to be our main dependence. With the unfortunate experience of the last two years. it is not wonderful that this impression should gain ground. Nevertheless it is quite possible that a conclusion somewhat difierent may very fairly be drawn from the admitted facts of the case. One of these admitted facts is that we have been far too many long years keep- ing too much land under wheat, with too little under other crops. Summer-fallow ing, giving the land entire rest from pro- duction for a year, has been tried, but has failed. as a means of enabling us to get along without that sine pua non in scientific farmingâ€"change or variation of crops. But suppose that Can tdian farmers do at length become converted to a true scientific: system, so that they shall be found practising proper variation of crops regularly and on a large scale. Some may say: That would mean that weat culti- vation would be practically abandoned. Well right here we beg to object, and to say that it would mean nothing of the kind. but something very dilfercnt. And i we hope to be able to show cause. The more wheat is taken from any given tract of parcel of land, the less fitted that land is to grow wheat: while con- versely, the less wheat is taken from it, the more fitted it is to produce that grain. was growing a llttle better every year. We should not have as many acres under 'wheat as before; but our product: of wheat per acre would be better. It should not require fmy very e‘lszorate argument to VVlaich seems to be another way of saying that, while what the land actually has in it may be taken from it, you will have hard work getting from the land what has already been takenffrom it, and has never since been restored. Now daily-farming and the liberal cultivation of green crops mean, is they mean anythingthe restora- tion to the soil of former elements of fertility, and its improvement in other ways. The spread amongst us of scientific farmingâ€"dairy-farming and proper varia- tion of crops includedâ€"would mean that the average fitness of our land for wheat clusion. While, therefore, it must be admitted that the results of our own malpractice in farming compel us to “haul in” on wheat sowfng, that does no mean that wheat pro- duction is therefore to disapmar from this still fertile land. If we adopt true scien- tific farming, and reform our erroneous practice, we shall ere very long have more bushels of wheat in consequence, instead of less. We have had a sharp warning, let that be admitted, but if we heed the warning and act like good farmers and rational men together we shall by and by ‘be producing more wheat instead of less in consequence. This is for Ontario, NEILL’S TRAVELLING MATERIAL In announcing the select-ion of Rev. C. J. Howes, of Louisville, as chief deputy to the United States Marshal of Kentucky 3 despatch says :â€"“His chief duty will be to assist in the capture of moonshiners in Eastern Kentucky. a difficult and dangerous pursuit. Mr. Howes has given undoubted evidence of his courage and muscular power. About ten years ago a crowd of toughs disturbed one of his meetings by throwing stones at the building. When he heard the missiles pattering against the walls Mr. Howes, who was in the middle of his sermon, stepped short, announcing that the exercises were over until next Sun- day, and stepped out of the pulpit. He walked quietly down the aisle. When he reached the door he threw his coat off and rushed outside. The gang. com- posed of about a dozen persons, were standing fifty feet away. Mr. Howes was upon them in a moment. He seized the surprised leader by the neck with one ‘ hand, and with the other list planted a blow upon the temple that made him see . stars and tumble over In a heap. J ump- ing over him Mr. Howes grabbed another, and, dealing him a half-dozen kicks and blows, hurled him to one side. The members of the gang were so surprised that they offered but little resistance and took to flight, not escaping, however, before half a dozen were soundly trounced.” Trunks, Valises, Satchels, HORTON, Kas, May 17.â€"F0r some time past rumours have been rife of the cruelty of Joseph Pelse, a restaurant keeper, to his step-daughter, a girl of 13. Some sym. pathetic ladies recently won her confi- dence, and the girl told a story of revolting cruelty. He used to beat her with a whi and knotted cords until he drew the bl , and, not satisfied with that, he used to lock her up in an attic, keeping her with- out food for two days at a. time. Her screams were frequently heard by the neighbors. Pelse was warned to discon- tinue his cruelty, but treated the unfortun- ate girl with more ingenius severity to show his contempt for interference. On Wednesday nifiht he was visited by 200 men, who took im outside the tOWn, tied him to_a tree, and hav‘ stripped him, administered 75 lashes, an warned him to leave town at once. The girl is being . cared for by neighbors.
