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." •

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."
