From the official statement, issued toâ€" night, an idea may be gathered of how the disaster occurred. ‘The story is bost told in the words of General T\lm;.;.-r MeNicoll, of the C. P. K., who said: "While the night express from Boston was approaching Montreal this morning a plug blew out of the engine boiler beâ€" tween Montreal Junetion _ and Westâ€" mount Station, with a loud report. The plug was on the side of the cab where the fireman sat, and he was at onee enâ€" velor\l in sealding steam. ‘The fireman eoncluded that something serious had happened, and jumped from the eab winâ€" dow into a snowbank. H® then got up and followed the train, walking along the track, and found that Engineer Cunâ€" ningham had also. jamped from the cab about half a mile l)nrther on. HMe, howâ€" ever, found that th# engineer had not been so fortunate as himseli in jumpâ€" ing, and that he w«s lying unconscious beside the track, witn « fractured skuil. ‘There is no apparent sibility of disâ€" eovering what really mpened' on the engine, as the engineer‘s case is critical, ang no statement can be obtained. The grain then naturaily gained great «peed on the down grade approaching Montâ€" yeal, but the train wew did not observe that it was going too fast until it was approaching (CGuy street. Then it was seen that something was wrong, and one ol the train crew applied the emergeney brakes, which slowed the train down, but not sufficiently to stop it in time to prevent it piunging throtgh the ladies‘ waiting room and into the genâ€" eral wniting room at the station."

The Windsor Depot is a fine greyâ€" stone building a block=south of the Windsor Hotel, and one black north of the Grard Trunk Station. 1t is situated on a hill, the Jower part of the building being ten or fifteen feet below the front face of the strueture.

West of the staâ€" tion the tracks are earried on a viaâ€" duct, The accident was due to the fact that the station was built on the terminal plan, An accident similar to the present one oceurred about seven years ago at Bonaventure Station, the Grand Trank terminal in Montreal, when the Grand Trunk Boston express ran over the stopâ€"block and dn%ed at a tremendous speed. into the solid walls of the staâ€" tion. Ahead of the train, in this case, were two sleepers which had been left on the track, and these were pushed through into the spacious roturJ:, and almost into the waitingâ€"room ‘at the eest side of the bailding.

Of course, if things go on in such a manner that really better relations with England and perhaps an entente cordiale with France should come to rau, we might perhaps think of redueâ€" ing the army, ‘of disarming, I do not know." At the time of imposing sentence Sir Wiiliam spoke feelingly of the terrible blow to Malone‘s innocent wife and children, and the story goes that the Chief Justice followed up his kind words by a kinder deed sending to Mrs. Malone a cheque for paw, and to Mrs. Wilkins one for $50. A Toronto despatch: _A little story is going the rounds foâ€"day concernâ€" ing Chief Ju. ‘ice Sir William Mulock, which is causing a great deal of inâ€" terest and sympathetic comment.

Wilkins. Wilkins was given five months in prison for his share in the robberies. Justice Mulock Gives Mrs. Malore $100 snd Mrs. Wilkins $50. "While attempts have been made in several quarters to find a solution of the crisis, a contrary course is being folâ€" loed in Servia. Mild advice is not likely to serve any purpose in Belgrade; severe pressure from the powers, especially Rusâ€" sia, is necessary to bring the Servians to reason, ‘The Russian proposals up to the present time have been unsuccessful beâ€" cause â€" simultaneously _ therewith there have been political demonstrations in Russia thatâ€"liave tended to increase Serâ€" via‘s stubbornness. _ Furthermore the coustruction placed by Great Britain on the Russian note calling an infernational conference on the â€" Bosnianâ€"Herzegovina question serves only to stiffen Ser#i‘s backbone for resistance. The Russian proposals are not calculated to serve the ends of peace. The military situation is so critical that perhaps only a few days will pass«before Austrianâ€"troops march into Rervia. "It is questionable whether the honest endeavors of some of the powers yet will succeed in preventing anâ€" outbreak of war, but pour parlors betweéen various nations lead to the hope that Â¥he conâ€" flict may hbe localized."
