THERE IS NO DIS- GL’ISING THE FACT THAT ”THE TRADE IS NOW FACING A VERY CRITICAL PERIOD OF ITS EXIST- ; more. THE TEETUI‘AL PARTY Is ] PREPARING TO MAKE A SU- PREME EFFORT, and Will spend money like water to secure success in the coming contests. Its paid leaders are beginning to realize that failure of the cause means their individual failure, and will do their utmost to prolong their official life. OWING TO ITS AFFILIATION WITH CHURCH BODIES, AND THE CREDULITY OF ITS DISCIPLES, THE ALLIANCE HAS COMMAND OF A VERY LARGE SUM, AND TO OFFSET THIS IT IS ABSOLUTELY NECES- SARY THAT THE LICENSED TRADE GENERALLY THROUGHâ€" I OUT THE PROVINCE SHOULD RALLY TO THE DEFENCE OF THOSE OF ITS NUMBERS WHOSE INTERESTS ARE THREATENED.

The fast grain train, containing 16 cars, fully [ Midland, Dec. 11â€"The failure to lflag the approach of a fast grain train at Waubaushene, a station about 16 miles from Midland, result- ed at noon today in one of the worst wrecks in the history of the Northern diviSiOn of the Grand Trunk system, in which one employe was killed, two others probably fa- tally injured, and another seriously hurt, while two huge engines of the Mikado type were badly damaged and fully a dozen box cars completely de- molished. Following is the list of casualities: Fireman Ridpath, of Lindsay, dead. Engineer Elliott, Lindsay, believed to be fatally injured. The following despatch has been received from Midland concerning the wreck: THOROUGH ORGANIZATION, WITH THE NEEDFUL SINEWS OF WAR TO BACK IT UP IS ESSEN- TIAL TO SUCCESS IN THE WINE AND SPIRIT TRADE AS IN EV- ERY OTHER LINE OF BUSINESS. It was organization which enabled the trade in several counties of Que bec to defeat the attacks of the A1- liance at the recent local option con- tests, and that in face of the most . bareiaced and reprehensive tactics. I: the licensed trade in this province will stand shoulder to shoulder and present an undaunted front against 'every assault, if the small will rally [to the defence of the big, and the big help the small, no matter wheth- er their own interests are immediate- ly threatened or not, the tide of pro- ; hibition sentiment will receive a most undoubted check. HERB ELLIOTT WAS SERIOUSLY INJURED THE ALLIANCE, ALTHOUGH_ IT MAKES THE MOST OF CHURCH INFLUENCE, is thoroughly in ac- cord with the utterance of the late Mr. Israel Tarte, that ELECTIONS ARE NOT WON BY PRAYERS, and its outlay on SPEAKERS, LITERA- TURE AND CANVASSING IS PROâ€" DIGIOUS. To combat this efiectual- ly, and to Scotch at any rate, if not kill the efforts of its opponents, the trade must stand solidly together. ED TRADE ASSOCIATION THAT THE HOTELKEEPER AND SHOPâ€" KEEPER IN THIS PROVINCE CAN HOPE TO FIGHT THE DOMINION ALLIANCE, AND IT IS THE DUTY OF EVERY MEMBER OF THE TRADE FOR SELFâ€"PRESERVA- TION TO ALLY HIMSELF WITH THIS DEFENSIVE ORGANIZA- TION, and lend it not only MORAL but FINANCIAL ASSISTANCE. IT IS ONLY THROUGH A UNIT- ED BODY SUCH AS THE LICENS- ’No'r MENA-CED. People laughed at the possibility of license reduction in Toronto, ‘but it became an accomâ€" plished fact.I t is the easiest thing in the world to pooh-nooh danger, but the wise man prepares for it. “An ounce of prevention is worth a pound of cure” is a. very wise pro- 1 verb.

His mother and father and one sister, Luella, reside in Lakefield. This was the unfortunate man’s first pay run, and before entering the employ of the G. T. R. was engaged as a lumber piler. The news of his untimely death was a sad blow to his relatives. Stanley Wetherup, who was also badly injured, is still in the Midland hospital, and the doctors~state that he will pull through all right. He is suflering great pain. Earl Lynn, the engineer on the second engine of the double-header, was brought to Lindsay last. night, and is at the residence of Frank Wells, corner of Victoria avenue and Russell-sts. His face was badly cut and his body badly bruised. He will be confined to his room for some time, but his injuries are not of a. serious character. However, the Post was informed to- day that Engineer Elliott’s injuries were of such a terrible nature that it is felt the poor fellow cannot tur- vive. A railroad man states that his Body was horriply burned from the waist down, so that when his clothes were removed the flesh came with them..The doctors are doing all in their power to allay his sufierings as well as sav ehis life. but the odds are against them. The accident caused a complete tie- up in the division, and the one o’- clock’train from Toronto was forced to transfer the malls and passengers to a special run down from Midland to meet it. During the afternoon and evening all trains were run over the newly constructed branch line .‘rom Allandale to Elmdale. Coroner Rainâ€" es is now investigating the fatality, but the date of the inquest has not ibeen announced. FURTHER PARTICULARS Rumors are flying thick and fast concerning the- unfortunate accident, and it is impossible to obtain the details with any degree of accuracv. The railway officials refuse to talk of the collision, and the employees are also reluctant in giving out infor- mation. This reluctance must, of course, be respected. Word of the accident was immeâ€" diately sent to Midland, where a speâ€" cial. train Was rushed to the scene. The injured men were taken +0 the town and placed in the General and Marine Hospital. At a late hour to- night no change had taken plate in their condition, and no hope is ex- pressed by the authorities for the recovery of Elliott: and Wetherup. A peculiar feature of the wreck is the fact that this was Ridpath’s first trip, he having recently left ‘he Great Lake boats, where he worked during the navigation season. The impact of the collision was so great that the car rammed was smashed into kindling, while the en- gines ploughed through two other cars behind. So great was the force with which the engines dashed that the front one was thrown completely from the tracks, while the tender of rthe second was hurled clear over the {cab behind. All four of the injured 'man were unable to leap to safety before the cars were struck‘ and they were buried under the wreckage. Rid- path died within a few minutes after being taken out, While Elliott Could not be released until almost an hour later. All were severely scalded, and it was found that a. hot iron band had been pressed against Elliott’s leg and burned the flesh almost to the bone. loaded, was being Pulled by two of the largest freight engines. and was was travelling at a high rate of ,speed, when it rammed headâ€"on a ilong string of box cars standing on the main line. According to informa- tion gleaned, the standing cars had been left by another freight train, while a number of cars consigned to the mill were being shunted on the siding. It was stated that a man had been assigned to flag all ap- proaching trains, but that he had failed to notiCe the grain train, ‘ which, believing the track to be clear, dashed almost at full speed into; the standing cars.

But the general conccnsus of opinion among the coal men in regard to the situa- tion is that the crisis has passed and that given a continuance of .the ex- isting conditions and more cars. the-re will not be any difliculty in supply- ing the winter's demand for "fuel.

And with Tthe closing of navigation coal men :look for a decided improvement in the number of cars available and a1- so in the service. SUPPLY SHOULD INCREASE ; With navigation in the Great Lak- ; es closed, the supply of coal coming? into Lindsay should be much greater, ‘ said a dealer today. The closing up of the water routes has the eiiect of closing the channels to the west, which practically means there will be ANOTHER ACCIDENT.
