The following report was read from F‘ L. Somcrville, C. E. , town engmcer. 1). Ray, Esq” Mayor. I have this day examined the brewery creek below W'ellington-st., and I find the culvert in very much better condition and considerably larger than I had been lead to suppose. DEAR SIR:â€" Under these circumstances and taking into consideration the limited amount of money at you disposal, and the necessity of doing something at once to minimize the risk of floods next sprinw. I beg to recommend that an open ditch, twenty inches wide on the bottom, and with proper side slopes be dug on the south side of Wellington-sh, easterly from Cambridge-5L, the bottom of the ditch at the west end to he on the same level as the present ditch at that point and to have a uniform fall of six inches in every hundred feet. At a point about 200 feet west of \Nilliam-st.. it will be necessary to cover the ditch in, and I would recmnmend that a culvert, 3x3 feet be built in :1 straight line from that point to 21 point on the north side of VV'ellington-st., near the west end of the approach to the bridge. From this point the water can run on the surface of the ground to the river. Practical experience, neg: spring, will show whether it is necessary to protect the surface at th’m point. In the meantime the works I propose would consist of abou 375 feet of open ditch and 300 feet of culvert, and the total cost should not exceed $750. ............. YIJ" As the open ditch will require to be cleared of snow and‘ice, every year, before the spring freshet and also be a possible cause of corn- plaint, the culvert can be extended westerly at any time. l Any money there may be to spare after the ‘ above work is completed, should be expended in improving the present channel. The parts that should be attended to first are (a) the part on the north side of \Villiam-st. and im- mediately north of that street, (b) The right angle turns near the centre of the block, between \Vellington and Bond-sts. At the first mentioned points the culvert is smaller than a: any other place and should be fenlarged. At the second point the course of lthe stream should be changed, if possible, so as to do away with the sharp turns, which offer a very considerable resistance to the flow of the stream. run» .1 ......... As, on account of improvements to the streets, the water will reach the creek in i1. shorter time each year, the freshets will become more SeVere, though possibly of shorter duration. I would therefore recommend that in any renewals or alterations to the present channels, the culvert should have a capacity of 20 feet of sectional area and that wherever passilile it should he -unCovered.

The Collector of Canal Tolls at Port Dalhousie Kills a Man. l l l far as the railroad bridge, where they PORT DALIIOUSIE, Ont., October 22,â€"â€" About 1.15 o’clock Sunday morning bur- glars entered the canal toll office here through a rear window with the purpose of robbery. Mr. \V. B. Clarke,collector, heard a slight noise in the office, jumped up off his couch, where he had been sleeping, in time to see a man stick his head through the bedroom door. Mr. Clarke grabbed his revolver and asked the man what he wanted. The burglar made no reply and Clarke shot at him the next instant. The burglar dropped back- ward to the floor and fiyelled to his pal, “Jack, Jack, I’m shot." Mr. Clarke had just slammed the door shut when a bullet came through the door and entered the wall about six inches from his head. Mr. Clarke then raised the bedroom Window and yelled for help in hope of making the, lock tenders hear him when a second bull- et came whistling through the window, but fortunately missed him by about two inches. Before the lockmen had arrived the burglars had dragged the injured man through the window and started off. Mr. Clarke and the lockmen followed them as lost track of them, and only having one revolver in the party, and Mr. Clarke with nothing but a light suit of underclothing on, they deemed it better to come back and get more help. The police station at St. Catherines was notified immediately and the chief frontier points as Soon as possible. No further trace of them was found until '2 o’clock this afternoon, when the body of a well dressed young man, about 28, years of age, with Sandy hair and light1 sandy mousrache. was found about. firty yards from the canal office. 011 examina- tion a bullet, Wound was found in the man’s breast, about half an inch above the right nipple, and is supposed to be the man shot by Mr. Clarke early this morning. A number of rings and other jewellery were found in the pockets of the dead man’s clothes. A heavy brown freize oVercoat, with ammunition, fuse ' and a lot of small burglars tools was found about a quarter of a mile from the scene of the shooting afi‘ray. A railroad ' ticket from Toronto to Hamilton ands Russ‘ell House, St. Catherines, business Card were also found on the dead man. The proprietor of the Russell House, "St. Catherines, was sent for and identified the body as that of a man who, along with another, had dinner and supper at his hotel on Saturday, and . says the deceased registered as James Miller and his pal as William Thompson, both of Detroit, Mich. There is supposed to be Something creoked about them, as the ticket found read from union station Toronto. Mr. Clark is terribly broken up over the matter and expresses his deepest regret at having been the supposed means of killing the man, although perfectly justified in what he did. It is supposed that the burglars did not eXpect to find any persmi in the office as the assistant had left the office about 10.30 o’clock and likely they expected to have the place to themselves, expecting that the oflice was closed at 12 o’clock on Saturday night, but instead is open till (5 Sunday morning. Another peculiar feature is that some of the people l.\'ing in the neighborhood of the canal ofiice say that they saw the deceased man walking around in the neighborhood of the lock shanty and canal office about noon on Sunday and the body was not cold when the coroner arrived. An inquest will be held on the body and the citizens are anxiously awaiting further developments. It is supposed there were four men in the gang. TORE DOWN THE UNION JACK' A Repetitior of the Unpleasant lncndent at Chicago-Was Done by lrishmen. WonLn’s FAIR GROUNDS, CHICAGO, Oc- tober 21,â€"There was almost a riot in Lady Aberdeen’s village of industries to-night. A second attempt was made b 150 Irish- men to pull down the Union ack, which has been floating from the tower of Blar- ney castle in honor of Lady Aberdeen’s husband, the Governor-General of Canada. The Irishmen gained access to the top of the tower and tore down the English emblem, because the did not consider it ought to be unfurle in an Irish village. They were detected in the act by some of the village employes. and the guards drove the offenders out mto the Midway. The gang returned stealthily in a short time and climbed over one side of the fence The guards were on the alert, however, suspecting that another-Iattempt would be made as soon as the flag was strung up again and pounced upon the intruders. Then came the exciting part of the scene. The guards summoned the patrol waggon and tried to arrest the whole number in‘ the face of threats from a crowd of sev era thousand sympathizers who uickly gath- ered around the village. he waggon came on the double quick and the force of guards tried to cope with the anti- English visitors. They no sooner had got one or two of their prisoners into the wagon than the men] who pressed around it pulled them out. Three of the ringleaders were finally taken prisoners after a pitched battle of some minutes’ duration. The Earl of Aberdeen arrived ‘ at the village with his secretary just after ithe battle and was very indignant at the The m'ccing then adjourned. in alt. SHOT THE BU RGLAR. The Ghastly Last Journey of Visitors to Chicago. COLLISION ON THE CHICAGO AND GRAND TRUNK, NEAR BATTLI CREEK, MICHI- GANâ€"THE ACCIDENT CAUSED BY A DIRECT DISOBEDIENCE OF ORDERS BY A CONDUCTOR AND ENGINEER. BATTLE CREEK, Mich., October 20.â€" Twenty.six heads of charred, blackened flesh, all that remain of what less than twenty-four hours ago were men, women and children in the enjoyment of life, health and happiness, rest upon the floor of an improvised morgue in the basement of a furniture store of this city. A mile away in the city hospital are a score or more human beings with gashed bodies and broken limbs. Add to this an engineer in jail and a conductor a fugitive from the law. and the story is told in brief of the latest of railroad horrors and one of the most appalling in character of recent years. DEATH AND NOT THE FAIR. Direct disobedience of orders on the part of the Chicago and Grand Trunk engineer and conductor. both of whom had seen long: service with the comp my and were regarded as model employees, was the cause of the tragedy. A Ray- mond and Whitcomb special train of eight palace cars, filled with Eastern folk who had been taking in the sights of the world’s fair, left the Sixteenth-st depot of the road at Chicago at 8.15 on the first section of the night express known as No. 6. The train was in charge of Conductor Burt N. Scott and Engineer Harry \Vooley, both residents of the place. All went well until Battle Creek depot was reached. This .was at 3535. From here to the railroad’s yards, a distance of a mile and a half, is a double track. When the Whitcomb special came to a full stop in the depot the night operator handed to Conductor Scott two copies of an order for the train to proceed to the double track east of Main-st, about half a mile distant, 'and there await the passing of the west-humid Pacific express known as No. 6. This train, which was nearly three hours late. was composed of thirteen day coaches and two baggage cars. Most of th‘ day co ches had seen many years service and were in poor conditim to iWithstand a collision. Every one of the lfated number were packed with Ets'ern people, the majority of whom. taking! adVantage of the low rates, were on theirl way to take in the last week of the‘ exposition. The Pacific express vms in charge of Conductor John Bird and Engineer Gil Cranshaw, both of whom received orders at Lansing to look out for the west-bound on the double track, and were accordineg on the alert. After receiving orders at the Battle Creek ststion Engineer Wooloy proceeded up the double track, but instead of stopping in accordance with his instructions until the west-bound express had passed, he continued on and entered again on the single track. He had hardly gone more than an eighth of a mile when the Pacific express was seen coming around the slight curve behind the telegrsph offices of the railroad yards. It was speeding westWard st a rate of forty miles an hour. There was no time to apply air brake or reverse levers. The engineers and firemen of both trains jumped for their lives. and a second later the giant locomo- tives came together with a crash that could be heard half a mile away. With fearful force the engine of the special plowed nearly half way into that of the‘ express, driving it backwards into the: car. and the latter in turn into the dayl coach behind. The shock Was so terrifiic‘ that the first four of these were comâ€" pletely telescoped, the first coach cutting through the second, and the second into the third like a flash of lightning, the roof of each passing over he heads of the sleeping passengers and sweeping them in j a mass to the north of the cars. To add ; to the horror the wreck took fire from the stoves or lamps, and as the flames mount-i ed up the groans and shrieks of the maimed and injured were succeeded by heartrending agonizing cries and appeals for help from the scores imprisoned by heavy timbers. or held down by seats and iron frame work. The travellers on the special, nearly all of whom had been shaken out of their berths by the shock, poured out of the cars, but before the fury of the flames they were almost powerless to render any assistance except ‘ to the injured in the fourth car. At the moment of the crash Henry Canfield, one of the night clerks in the Grand Trunk office. a short distance away, pulled the} fire alarm box and also telephoned to the engine house for aid. As ill fortune} would have it, however, the key to the tower was mislaid and several minutes were lost before the alarm bell was sounded to awaken the citizens. BESCUING THE SUFFERING. The fire department was prompt in re- sponding, but the nearest hydrant was nearly 2,000 feet away and when a line of hose was laid the pressure was not suffi- cient to throw astream. Finally a stream was secured from another hydrant, the firemen meanwhile attacking the blazing wreck with axes, etc., but by the time a supply of water was. ayailable the tele- ""KK ' scoped coaches had been reduced to fragment: of charred timbers, little more than the trucks remaining. The firemen then commenced the gruesome work of recovering what remained of the victims, the police taking chnrge of the valuables ORDERS WERE DISOBEYED. THEN CA!!! THE CIASH. 50 Cents per Year in Advance. and keeping the crowd at a distance. In response to the alarm from the fire station pretty nearly the entire town had turned out. and the residents, assisted by their wives, devoted themselves to the relief of those injured in the four care. These were placed in buggies and carts and taken to the hichols home, where a. corps of physiolans and nurses were in waiting to minister to their sufferings. The first body was found at six o’clock, and a few minutes after a dozen were discovered in a heap around the stove of the second car. The task continued until twenty bodies or portions of human beings had been brought out of the debris. For want of a sufficient number of stretcher-s boards were nailed together and a freight car standing on a side track was converted into a. temporary morgue. As the work went on portions of satchels, \alises, gold and silver watches. pocketbooks contain- ing currency and a. quantity of silver money were brought to light and turned over to the officers. Not until their dying day will some of the citizens who were early on the ground forget the scenes that they were compelled to witness and helpless to relieve. No pen can describe the last moments of Mrs. Charles Van Dusen. She had succeeded in getting half way out of the window, but her limbs were pinioned by the heavy frame work of the seat she had been occupying with her husband and had taken fire. Thus held, roasting from the feet up, she pleaded and begged for the help that those outside were helpless to give. Despite her terrible agony she retained consciousness to the last, and as the flames crept up and surrounded her she called out her name and address and that of friends to be notified. “I am a teacher in the Methedist Sunday school at Sprout Brook. N. Y.,” she cried. ’ “Say I died like a Christian." Then the gear gave way and she fell back into the flames. Many of the articles found in the debris may lead to the identification of some at least of the long list of unre- cognizable dead. These include a hand- kerchief marked E. Wurtz, a. card of A. Allan, Co., 51 Bay-st. Toronto : acard of the Meriden fireinsursnceCo.,Meriden, Conn., with penetl writing that cannot be deciphered. Gen. Manager Spencer and Superintendent Atwater, of the Grand Trunk railway. came to the city on a special train immediately upon news of the accident and gave instructions for the care of the injured. Conductor Scott: surrendered to the police. He made a brief statement to the efi‘ect that he gave the engineer a duplicate of the order he received ; that he supposed he understood it; that he afterwards went into the baggage car and did not know that the engineer had gone over the siding and taken the single track until the collision occurred.
