The machinery was quiokly atopped, but his head was crushed, his arm broken and legs lacerated. Be was etill alive when extricated, and, thinking that eomething couldbe done for him, the am- bulance of the Notre Dame Hospital was called, and the sinking boy conveyed to the institution, where lie died a few moments after admission. He never regained con- soiousness or uttered a groan. Train Wreckers Fail.

Paris cable says: The cholera spectre has appeared again, and it was recently a subject of discussion at the Acadenile da Medecin. Dr. Proust read an eslaustice paper, whioh meets with the approval of the medical and sanitary authorities of Frame. Three menthe ego cholera tp. peered in Mesopotamia, end it has now been propagated in Persia. On August 24th the epidemic was raging at Bagdad. At that place from the 20th to the 81st of August the death rate from oholera was from 200 to 400 pennons per day. Since the pest 01 1831 no epidemic has been so fatal. In September the cholera spread to the Euphrates and the Tigris. The scourge has reached the Persian gulf. The south- ern portion of Penis, is invaded, and Salim is threatened. The oity of Beat has several times been the point of de- parture or the place of passage for cholera epidemics coming frora Hindoristen and Afghanistan to Persia. Two of these epidemics invaded Europe in 140 and 1846. Becht ie not yet contaminated; but if the cholera does reach Becht, it being already at Rirmansgah and Efarnedaro, the sole safegtuord of Europe will be to depend upon the measures taken by the Russian Government on the Russian frontier.
