A good deal of the grain was shovelled into bags in a more or less injur- ed condition, but much will be waisted. The crows and other sagacious wild-fowl are giving attention to what remains. The dead fireman was 23 years of age and unmarried. He was a member of the Masonic Order. and the members of the local lodge took charge of the body and showed it the attention for which the Order is noted in such cases. His remains were taken to his home at Midland by special coach at 2 o’clock on MOllda'r morning. He was very popular among his .iollomwnmen and others who knew him Mechanical Superintendent Storer of this town was on the spot with a wreck- ing train and crew in a short time, and early in the afternoon Divisional Superinâ€" tendent Tiflin with Roadmaster Cheer of Allandale arrived with an auxiliary from that town. Meantime between three and four thousand other people from the town and surrounding country had also arrived on whatever various sorts of locomotion they could command, and no more animat~ ed scene has been witnessed for many a day than that presented by this mass of humanity “theorizing, questioning, gossip- ing, moralizing, sympathizing and phil- osophizing. while they watched the train- men with their locomotives, anchors. great hawsers, jacks, price and derricks working scientifically and With a will, clearing away the wreck. The mam was there who “told you so," and he who clearly saw in the accident the rebuke of Providence for Sabbath desecration. The kodak fiendâ€"that scourge of the populace -â€"was in possession of every vantage ground and has since been gleefully ex- hibiting the results to long-suffering victims at every corner. During the months of navigation im- mense quantities of western grainâ€"wheat and cornâ€"are transhipped at Midland for eastern points via. Lindsay. Frequently trains of 40 cars drawn by two engines thunder through the town eastward bound. Often they pass through on Sun- day. About ten o'clock last Sunday morning one of those great trains was approaching at the usual rate of speed. Engines 449 and 215 in the order named were hauling it along. In the foremost cab were Driver McMillan and Fireman Gates, while their fellow- trainmen, V m. Maybee and John Dudley were in charge of the second locomotive. Brakeman Zealand were also riding in this cab. Everything had gone well on the down trip and the drivers were opening the throttles to climb the grade about- ) miles out when one of a herd of cattle, feeding on the road, walked onto the track and stood there. Instantly whistles sounded, and as is the custom the speed was main- tained in hope of throwing the animal clear, it beingimpossible to stop in time. In a moment the forward engine struck her‘ and threw her in the air, but not clear of the track. Instantly the front trucks were on her again and left the track, and like lightning the foremost engine was mired on the lift side of the track, the second one in a similar plight almost. twenty feet on the right of the line and fourteen box cars piled in all positions and degrees of annihilation, while tons of wheatand corn poured into the gutters. But there was a sadder sight. Death was atthe wreck. The occupants of the for- ward cab escaped injury, but the first car mounted the second caboose. Fireman Dudley was instantly killed and Brake- man Zealand terribly injured. The forme1 had his neck broken, and was also badly scalded. Since his death was instantane- ous he can have suffered nothing from his injuries. The latter had his arm broken and received a number of bad bruises, but his chief injuries are from scalding. many parts of his body being literally cooked to such a depth that his recovery is doubtful. 1 the news was flashed about that a fatal railway wreck had occurred just outside the town limits. Soon large crowds were hurrying to the scene of the disaster which was one mile west of Hopkins’ crossing on the Midland road. It was soon evident that the reports were only too true and that another of those sad events had taken place that have brought sorrow to so many homes of the friends of our railroading population in recent years.

Humcs. son of ex-Mziyor Humes, Seattle, accom- panied by Thomas P. Reilly, government messenger, and a companion named Tokales, started for the out-side with the news over a trail that the majority asserted meant certain death. They also carried the report of the just closed royal commission. and after such adventures as few men survive reached here last night. their passage up the trails haviig been made with Mounted Police relays and the best dogs that the force could put at their disposal. In many places they found open water, and were forced to pick their way through the wilderness, yet they did it, and made Skaguay in eighteen days. SWEEP or THE FLAMES The fire commenced in the very heart of the business section at3a.m., in a cabin close to the opera house on the waterfront strip. An abortive attempt was made to extinguish the flames before the alarm was sounded, and the delay thus caused gave the fire headway. When the brigade turned out the found the confiagration beyond their power to subdue. A strong north Wind was blowing, and the fire travelled in sheets and clouds rather than flames. It swept all the buildings in its way along the main thoroughfare, down to and including Donahue Smith's establishment, the rased area including all the waterfront buildings abreast of the same blocks. Within half an hour the fire had crossed the street twice and burned through and spread to Secondst, every important building in what is known as the business section being eaten up. The firemen after the first half hour’s work accented the inevitable abandoning the endeavor to extinguish the mad torrent of flame and devoting themselves to the saving of property in buildings as, yet comparatively removed from the sweep of the fire. 'rwo BANKS BCRNED. Not a single building was left from Timmin‘s Royal Cafe to and opposite the Fairview Hotel. In this district were all the structures erected in 1897 and 1898.
