A trial was made two week's ago of a new suowplow which is expected to come into general use on the railw*ye and to reduce the troubles of railway operatives and travellers with snow- storms to a very great extent. The trial took place esu the Proton braucb of the C. P. R.. which had been clorekd eines Jawlary. The cute on the line ere deep and the snow had become hand -packed, and it was. considered that the test world be A very severe one. The snow had leen lying un the track all winter, and err deep and hart; In fact, it was:inure like iue. There were two engines behind 'the plow and they struck the drifts with a 11,ouen4uw that made things go. The plow worked well. It war clearly seen that its succera was established. It was tossing chunks of snow to each ride tbat two suet) could not lift: but the machinery being new became hot and the plow was temporarily dis- abled. However, a few wiles of the track hal been cleaved and enough ball been done to show that the plow it all right. it will be heard of next winter. The new snowplow wits consli•urted at the Hunter works in Kiucanline, tbe engines being manufactured by the Doty Engine Works Co. of (lode - rich.

A NARROW ESCAPE. Goderich Trawl Crew m Wreck Near Sealerth Saturday Morning. The O. T. 1t• train leaving Godericb at 0 A. in. o11 Mtatur day was wrecked between Clinton Anil Scaforth. There had been a severe raiowmen' during tbe night and is cement culvert .tout four miles west if Seaford* proveoLin- sufficient to carry away the water. \Werk the washout occurred the track crosses si small creek by means of a cement brick culvert. The rails had remained in their places. su that the track looked just as usual. After striking t piece had of track the engine event clout seventy y*rds, tearing' up the track as it went, then plunged down the Tank ,about fifteen feet, tearing off the front trucks, ploughing into the ground about four feet and rolling over ••n iia right side, and lying about half -way across the fence. `\•here the engine left the track it became se rateed from the tender. and to this •fact, uudoubteedly, the engineer and Heenan owe their lives. The train was in cbai-ge of Con- ductor Lovell. Engineer Farr And Fireman %Vnt. Colter. Mr. Farr has his kg hart and was somewhat cut about the face and generally pretty h bruised, And Mi. Colter had two ribs broken. Thomas Jackson, of Clinton, and MTs. Jas. Fair. also of Clinton, were the sole passengers on the derailed train. At the time of the accident, Mrlacks re Mev. Fair and Conduc- tor Lovell were in the parlor esu'. The twilit consisted of baggage ear, two.oAcl.es and the parlor :Ar. As soon as the stop occurred Mr. Jack- son and Conductor Lovell, both of whom received a shaking up from the sudden jolt. left the car and went to the Aid of the engine crew. The engine hal gone over as embankment into an adjacent field, where it toppled over. Engineer Farr was found in the cab unconscious and s,niewhat cut and bruised. Fireman ('1 ovrted re•neeth the d MI wee disc 1 engine. also unconet:ions, and Navin two ri A broken. Ile was extrica from his position with some difll . ilty And after he and Engineer h'tyi had been made s/4 comfortable as possible Mr..lackson walked to Seafurth for medical aid and the auxiliary was summoned from Stratford. The _parlor ca' wee hanging over the end of the track, where the cul- vert had scrod, and it was a tniracle that the car did not plunge into the water. The trllclte of this cal' :ln well au those of the other coacher went down into the stream. Another for- tunate circumstance in the wreck was that the engine went to the high side of the track. On the other side the Held. were covered with water and had the englbe toppled over In this it is almost certain that the clew would have been drowned, both being un- conscious when found. The washout, of course, prevented traffic crossing and all day Saturday passengers and express had to Ire transferred, trains running up to the scene of tbe accident from Stratford and trains manning from thle end to meet them. The Stratford Aulxlliery had things in shape for the resump- tion of regular traffic by Monday morning. Firemen Coker is again at work. Mr. Farr fated somewhat worse, but iti doing very well. He Remembered.
