The Wingham Times, 1888-02-03, Page 7DEATH ON A RUNAWAY TRAIN. The Eyar.[ul tilde of a Train. With Locked Wheels Down Murphy MouutaIu. A serious acoident occurred on the South Park division of the Union P,iwoitio the other morning. A train of ore oars was partially wrecked, at St. Fling and two men were killed -lames Connor, en ins r ,a n d Whaley, a fireman. The l000motiveM and four cars were wrecked, The aeoidentoo• curved by the train jumping the track just as it entered St, Elmo, and while it was rum nin_g at lightning speed. The train of twelve oars started from the Mary Murphy mine, known as Romley, loaded with ore. Tho grade is very heavy down to St, Elmo, winding around Murphy Mountain, They had gone half a mite or more when the discovery was made that the speed was too great, and the air brakes were applied. They did not work effeotive. ly nor lessen the velocity, which was be. coming terrific. Every man back of the en- gine was sent out to fix the hand brakes, and they were twisted as tight as muscle could turn them, But even this did not cheek the speed. The wheels were clamp- ed tight and did not whirl, but over the glis- tening and frost -slippery rails the engine and cars slid like the wind, tearing around curves and over the brief straight stretches of the track. The train was beyond human control. Three, miles down the steep grade the train with its five passengers and twelve oars sof ore plunged and leaped at sixty miles an hour, Sparks flew from the track where the almost immoveable wheels struok the junctions of the ra ils. Past boulders and along precipitous heights the now hopeless trainmen were carried at lightning speed. They.were helpless as well as hopeless, for to leap to one side would be but to dash to pieces against the jagged wall of rook that towered above •them, and to jump to the other side would mean instant death from being hurled against trees and rooks 100 fest below. It was miraculous that the twain did not leave the track at a half dozen places in its wild career. But it hung to the rails until the danger seemed almost passed, for around another curve and the straight track through the town of St. Elmo would be reached, where the grade would. lessen and a stop of the ungovernable cars . might be made. But this curve was not to be safely passed. The wild speed was too great. As.the en- ginereaohed the point where the turn was the sharpest the wheels left the track, and with a mad plunge the iron .horse went over, followed by four oars of ore. Togeth• er,the iron and wood and ors crashed down, rolling over and over and piling up together in a broken heap, under which two lifeless forms were buried. The engineer and fire- man, who had stuok to their posts, were crashed to death instantly. It was evident when the bodies were rescued from the wreck that the manner of their death had been like the lightning stroke. The remain- ing oars and caboose of the train, on which were the .conductor and two brakeman, went on a short distance and stopped on a level stretch of grade. Had not the four cars broken entirely clear and left the track the whole train would have been wreoked, and in all probability more of the men killed. SUICIDE WITCH EXPLOSIVES. The Luarekist Lint- was Oltly en Iwlitator After All, The suicide of the Anarchist Lingg by means of a detonator exploded in his mouth. is not the first soli -murder of its kind. The annual' reports of Col. Majcndie and his col. leaalas oontain several inatanoes of suicide by similar use of explosives. Thus in 1876, a native of Alsace put a dyne - mite cartridge in his mouth and fired it, with the result of blowing his head and the upper part of his body to pieces. Yn June the sameyear, at Wickham Market in Suff- olk, a woman named Solomon, the wife of an oil merchant, purchased a quantity of gunpowder,' and having made a oirole of it and placed herself in the midst, she fired the powder. The experiment was mum - easeful ; only nsuu•easeful;only slight injuries, were inflicted upon the woman. Thereupon she went to an outhouse, and putting a quantity of gun- powder into a pail placed herself over the bucket and applied a match. On this cocas. Edon her injuries were more severe, but for her purpose was again afailure, and so she hacked at her throat with a knife. She was found in a most lamentable condition, and died next day. At Nittshill in Scotland, in Ootober of the same year, a miner named Duncan obtained some dynamite and blast- ing fuse and went into the street, where he placed the dynamite on the ground, leaned over it, and lighted the fuse. At this mom- ent some boys, attracted by his unusual attitude, came towards him. "Keep back," shouted Dunoan, "for the love of God, or you will be blown into eternity ?" The boys stood aloof : in a few moments the►° was a loud explosion, and Duncan was blown to atoms. In September, 1881, a miner at Run- corn filled his mouth with gunpowder, ignited it with a match, and succeeded in blowing the top of hie head off. An almost identical instance occurred in 1883 at Canter- bury, when a waiter named Simmons des- troyed himself by exploding guupowder in his mouth. STATISTICS. In spite of a vast increase in the popula- tion of the United Kingdom in the last two decades, the rate per head of the population of imported meat has been multiplied not far short of three and a half ,times. Had the whole of the imports of meat, and living animals reduced to meat, been !divided o equally amongst the population twenty years ago, they would have given eaoh individual Ss lbs in the year; if the,aame distribution were to be made now, each individual would have very nearly 28i lbs.. A more elaborate application of explosives to the purposes of suicide and murder com- bined was recorded the same year. At Dunedin, New Zealand, a olerk named Step- henson, who had been separated from his wife for some time on account of drunken- ness, met her in the street and exploded a dynamite cartridge close to her, head,•his own head being placed at the ,same moment very near to hers. Both were almost com- pletely blown off. - In the year 1884 three suicides of this sort were recorded. One *as committed in Juno at Munioh b y a soldier of the BAvarian field artillery, who had 'misconducted self and wished to avoid. punishment. He loaded a cannon with some.gunpowder and pieces of iron, and placing himself in front of it, fired it. Another case occurred in the Bois de Boulogne the same month; when a man blew himself to pieces by exploding an iron box capable of containing about ten pounds of gunpowder. But the most remark- able case occurred on'theweet.00ast of Africa. The King of Falaha • being attaoked by a Mohammedan force, and finding resistance impossible he assembled his family and principal officers, and afteraddressing them and intimating his •determination never to accept Mohammedanism, and inviting those who did not agree with him to go away, he applied a light to a large quantity of gun- powder collected for the purpose, and blew the Palace and all who were in it to pieces. The value of ribbons manufactured at St. Etienne, near Calais, is about £3,000,- 000. The,rubannerie, or ribbon industry, is carried on by about 250 manufacturers, who are ;engaged in making many different ar- ticles, such as plain, black, colored, and figured ribbons, velvets, elastin goods, trim- mings, braids,cravats, cords, galoons, &c. These manufacturers employ 18,000 looms and 50,000 workmen. The greater part of the looms of St. Etienne are worked by hand, and belong to the workmen them- selves, who own small factories of from two to four looms. There are no fewer than 150 female phy- sicians practising inNew York ; while more than double that number are to bo found --in Brooklyn and the adjacent oities. Their professional earnings are in general equal to those of the average male practitioner ; while not a few of them make an income which even a fashionable London physician would not be ashamed to acknowledge. Quite a number of lady-dooto%s in New York city are known to make their $10,000 a year regularly. Sometwo or three are believed to realize, one year with another, an income of between $15,000 and $20,000 ; white one princess of the science is stated to have cleared a ateddyannual income of $25,000 fgr some years. Whilethe consumption in the British Islande of other dietetio articles used for beverages -tea, coffee, and cnicory-showed a decline in 1886, cocoa was marked by a considerable increase, This is remarkable, since for ,-few years, from 1875 to 1879, it remained pretty stationary at about 10,000,- 000 lb; but after 1880 it began to make steady progress; advancing from 10,500,- 000 ib. in that ,year to over 15,000,000 ib. in 1886. Of powdered cocoa and chocolate 1'332,000 Ib. were 'imported, chiefly from Holland. There were also imported 3,211 owt. .of husks and shells of the coma -bean, which are also used for cheap cocoa. There are about 10 chocolate and cocoa menden. turers in Holland; whose yearly require - menta of cocoa -beans may be estimated at 3,000 tons in round numbers .principally of Guayaquil, Caracas, and Domingo kinds.

This story is told in the Independent of one of the delegates to the Christian confer- ence which was recently held in Washing- ton : At one of the hotels a colored man takes the hats of the guests as they go into the dining -room, and hands eaoh man his hat without hesitation or mistake as he comes out. " How did you know," asked the wondering delegate, a° that this was my hat ?" " I didn't know it wuz your hat," was the quick response ; " I only knows it wuz de hat you gub me." • CINGALEas HAIR R'taswsa restores grey and faded hair to its natural nolo r and prevents falling out.

Mr. Gladstone has written to the editor of the Nonformist Musical Journal at fol- lows : " Ever since tho time of St. Augus- tine, I might perhaps say of St. Paul, the power of musks in assisting Christian devo- tion has been upon record, and great achools of Christian musicians have attested and confirmed the union of the art with worship. I sincerely hope your journal may advance this purpose in the churches of the Noncon- formibts, joining you in the further hope that skill and science may always contfntle to be the handmaids of devotion, and may never be need to overshadow it." $ 1,806,210 $ 8,479,625 $ 20,800 00 $ 10,168 49 $ 987 80 517,200 00 250 00 554,009 35 $ 20,825 00 2,642 98 523,867 98 81,638 87 6,097 80 Total: 5 99,69013 Expenditure.
