Montreal, June M.--ftrenuous adver- tising by means of a public wedding in a shop window. caused a stampede at one. of the busy downtown corners, McGill and Notre Dame streets, this afternoon, in the midst of which the policemen on duty drew their batons, women fainted, babies were jostled, and altogether there. was a scene of undue excitement. Workmen, the elothier, who carries out unusual ideas to advertise hi:: wares,' announced a week or more ago that a couple would be married at 3.30 in one of his show windows, and other trades. mem in order to participate in the glad event, sent presents for the bride. But yesterday the Chief of Police notified the clothicr that the ceremony must not take place as it would cause a stoppage of traffic in the street. To overcome the notice, the clothier closed his store this morning. and placed the following sign in the window: "This is my pri- vate house to-day. I pay my rent and taxes. A wedding will ‘he held here at 3.30. Workmen keeps his word. Come and see the wedding. Everybody wel- come. No disappointment." _ . Accordingly-tit the appointed hour the bride and groom appeared on the some, and a great throng surged in front of the store. eager to get a glimpse of the proeeedings. A posse of police tried in vain to get the crowd to disperse, but there was too much of interest at hand. A Methodist minister and a colored par- son were there to perform the ceremony, but much to the disappointment of the crowd the window curtain was inter- posed between the crowd and the wed. ding party at the supreme mom- ont. Then intense. excitement ensued, for by some reason unknown on the outside -- hy accident. as it was afterwards ex- plained-the curtain dropped, and the altar, with the contracting partieq in their place, was laid bare. to view. Then trouble began, and as a result it is pro- bable that the Chief of Police will inter- eit himself further in the matter. The knot was. nevertheless, securely tied.

"It is a sad and inexplicable case," said Dr. Walter Bensel, head of the department of medical inspection. "An air bubble in the syringe. would kill in a few seconds.

Late reports gave the number of injur- ed as twenty-one, and of these fifteen are seriously if not fatally hurt. Prac- tically all the injured were burned and were taken from the blazing wreckagel by rescue parties. A particularly distressing feature of the rescue was that the injured were so crazed when they were taken out from under the mass of wreckage. that they could not even reveal their identity, de- spite the urgent appeals and entreaties made by officials and others who knew how anxious the news from the wreck was awaited by families and friends oi the passengers. The order was finally given to search the living wreck victims in the hope that identification might in that way be established, but even when this was resorted to but three sufferers could be identified. The rest were. de- under the mass of wreckage that they undergone. Assistant General Superintendent D. C. Moon, of the Lake Shore, on the scene of the wreck, gave out the following statement: "Bo far as can be learned the switch was opened and locked open by some party unknown, probably acrank, and evidently for malicious purposes. Train No. 10, a fast eastbound train, passed through the same switch 45 mm- utes ahead of N. M, and it was all right at that time. It is positive that no other train or engine, either freight or passen- ger, passed through the switch between No. 10 and No. M." g Traveling at a rate of more than a mile a minute the heavy train was hurled to its doom with a momentum that was ap- palling. The scene of the accident was at the. Mentor depot. The switch that caus- ed the trouble is located about 130 yards west of the depot. As the heavy engine struck the switch it left the main track and swung violently to the left. For a distance of twenty yards the engine ran on the rails and then, leaping from the track, turned on its side to the east of the depot. The momentum was such that the heavy tender was hurled entirely over the engme and was buried in the depot. The combination car was hurled with terrific violence on top of "he en- gine tender and in a moment was en- veloped in flames from the engine. The Chicago sleeper, which was imme- diately behind the combination car, swung from the track, and, crashing into .the depot, was completely buried in the wreck of the building. The violence of the crash was such that the depot gl lapsed on top of the wrecked coach. The, hapless passengers in this conch were crushed and maimed in the wreck. und‘ then completely buried in the collap~c of the structure. I The next sleeper following left the track, and the other remained upright} on the rails.

The! cries of the imprisoned passengers were heard above the awful roar, but they were beyond all human aid, and the car became a pyre for a number of hupan) beings. A score or more physicians from" Cleveland, Collinwood, Ashtahula and Painesville went to the scene of the wreck " the request of the Lake Shore otfieints.

Albany, N. Y., June M.---The report of Superintendent Francis Mcndrickti, of the New York State Insurance Depart- ment, to Governor Higgins upon his in- vestigation of the Equitable Life Assur- ance Society, was made public to-night, and it is decidedly critical of the matt- agement of the society as Well as of the new trust arrangement for voting the stock agreed upon by Messrs. Thomas F. Ryan and the three trustees designated by him. In the conclusion of his re. port he says: _ ___ "No superficial measures will correct the existing evils in this society. Can- cer cannot be treated by treating the symptoms. Complete mutualization with the elimination of the stock to he paid for at a price only eottttnengurate with its dividends is, in my opinion, the only sure measure of relief." James W.

Second Vice-President, is exonerated. Mr. lien- drieks finding that no substantial evi- denee appears in “apart of the charges against him. Mr. endrieks says it is an open question whether President Alexander and the other officers and directors who participated with him in the transaction of “James H. Hyde and associates" are not disqualified under section 36 of the insurance law from hereafter holding any office in a life in- surance company. The report character- izes these transactions as unlawful. The View of the Deputy Registra- General. Toronto, June M.--Dr. C. A. llodgette. Secretary of the Provincial Board ot Health and Deputy Registrar-General. said yesterday there was considerable ground for the scathing referetteeis to race suicide in Ontario made by His Lordship Bishop Williams at the Synod of Huron, now assembled at London. He agreed that the materialistic view of life, a characteristic of the present day. was to a large extent responaibie, but he was not. inclined to put the burden of blame on the shoulders of the women. Husbands were equally responsible with their wives for the fact that the birth rate of Ontario was to-day unsatisfac- tory. In answer to a question on the point, the doctor thought that to a very limited extent the marriage in Ontario of many young people who immediately went west to live affected the statistics bearing on the question.
