Another terrible accident happened in the railway yards at Port Mc- Nicoll a few days ago when a. young man from Owen Sound by the name of White fell from a moving train and received terrible 'injurles. The unfortunate young fellow had only. been working for the railway com- pany for about three weeks and was engaged as a brakeman. On Friday, while shunting he lost his balance, and fell between some box cars and the wheels reached him, crushing his left arm and leg in a terrible man- ner. The extent of his injuries were of such afnature that both limbs had to be amputated, the former at the shoulder and the latter at the knee. He was moved to Midland hospital, where he died early on Monday‘- morn- ing. He was only 18 years of age. FATAL ACCIDENT AT PORT MchCOLL The new inventiOn is expected to do wonderful work, and will be a great saver in wages. Instead of pay- ing skilled operators 580 a month, they expect to obtain the service of girls for $30 per month. The new mag chine also means that the Morse code will be forgotten and the services of a receivingvoperator dispensed with, as the meséages will be automatical- ly reg-ist/Ered at the receiving end. The C.P.R. expect to cut their stafi in two. At the present time a ma- chine is being tested qy the C.P.R., and four girls are employed, only two working at a time. If this ex- periment ie a success, the new ma- chine will be used in every C.P.R. office in Canada. Telegram: C.P.R. telegraph operat- ors are not worrying about the es- tablishment by the Canadian Pacific Railway Telegraph Department of the new system of automatic telegraphy. One of them said: “ It might be one of the best things ever introduced in- to our business, and instead of dis- pensing with the service of men in favor of girls, it might be the means of giving more employment, and on the side, a little more money to the operator.” The Morkum automatic telegraph is a printing machine based on a se- lector system. Thg transmitter op- erates a Keyboard similar to that of a typewriter at one end and at the other is a typewriter into which a roll of perforated message blanks is automatically fed. The operator in Montreal strikes the keys of her type« writer, prints the message in Toron- to, and there you are. I Presidentâ€"Major F. Holmes Hop- kins. Vice-Presidentâ€"J. E. Flavel‘le.

Hamilton, Aug. 8â€"The Hamilton motorboat races at the Beach today were marked by a sensational and ‘altogether remarkable incident that 1has few parallels in this sport. George GOOderham’s Heloise, on which were the owner and Johnson, his mechan-ician, while passing a buoy near Station 10, went too close and struck the buoy. The boat was travelling so fast that she turned a. complete somersault, throwing the two occupants ioto the water. She fell rightside up, and continued at top speed. Her rudder was so set that she travelled in a circle, and ran for 35 minutes before she was caught. Mr. Gooderham and Mr. Johnson were picked up by Lowe’s Victor, after which the boat went in} pursuit of the runaway. She was fol- lowed for miles before her pursuers got near enough to hoard her, when Mr. Johnson jumped in and shut down the engine.
