Terrible C. P. R. Disaster.
A despatch from) I ie,pleau, Ont., says:
A terrible disaster which tt'e west
10:uld Irnpe1i;11 Lirn,l.,! ""s wrecked
turd 1111(4 11 )r rsnns, chiefly English int-
mo:raids, were either killed or burned
d1a11t. took place twenty-two rales
e•t
41 here at neon .u1. Wednesday.
TIi. (rain was running ;it a little over
twenty miles an hour and was round -
tog a curve when beneath the baggage
car a rail broke. The car left the arils,
was torn away from the engine and
mail cm' ahead. and phugcd down the
embankment 10 1l S1U11ll ice -covered hike.
It was followed by 1\;'., immigrant ears.
The ears +111(1 1'i first-class coach crash-
ed int, each other ;it the bottom of the
hank. The immigrant cars were crowd-
ed \with people woo were engaged In
cooking dinner. The acetylene lights
%' ere also burning. From these two
+sources fire spread through the debris
with incredible rapidity. The wounded,
seeing the flames approaching. cried out
pitifully for help. Many of therm were
pinned down beneath the wreckage.
HEROISM OF TIIE RESCUERS.
Willi spendid heroism the (rain crew
end passengers set about the work et
rescue. Front the battered ears almost
a hundred persons made their escape
b, fore the workers were driven back Cy
the flames. The fate of some of the hn-
priscne'd passengers was horrible. One
of the three men among the victims was
caught by the feel between two coaches
and burned to death. Until the Mantes
surrounded hint ,nen Tried to move the
tcrecknge, persisting even after their
!!ands were burned and bleeding.
"IT IS TOO LATE FOR ME."
Another. a young Ulan, was caught
above the knees. The rescuers had al-
most freed hint when the top of the car
gave way, its supports having been eat-
en through by the fin's- The poor fellow
cried ant,•"Saw•e y'oursel'ves, It's too late
for one," and thrust his would-be rescu-
ers away.
11 is impossible to say how many of
the victims were dead before the Are
1, ailed Illen►, but as six of (hent were
children, some of very (ender years,
they were probably kilted outright and
s;.wed the more terrible fate.
:1s the injured emerged, battered and
blond -covered, the porters pulled out
n!alresses from the cars that remained
on the Irnck, and the more seriously in-
jured were laid In long rows along the
owe rand Cared for as best they co(rld
until doctors were secured from Chnp.
'eau and other nearby points, it took
semis time to reach Chapleau, as the
wires were interrupted and messages
go round by Chicago and back
.hapleau from the east. The nuxil-
n
c1'i n)e • up finally, cleared 'lie line
and hauled back the six remaining cars
and all the passengers. The people of
of
Chaplean threw their hones open lo the
Injured mei the other survivors, many
o1 whom were almost crazed with grief.
AN O\'E llOWElUNG Tit.\CEOY.
One soar fellow named Goulding cab-
led to friends in Englund, saying that
lie had lost his wife, his two children
fond his blind brother. 'then he added,
apparently not thinking of the incon-
gruity of it. that the blind brother's dog
was dying of burns. What could be done
fee hill and fur others in like case was
done by the kind-hearted Chapleau peo-
plc before 11►e removal of the passengers
to basil \\'illituu.
J. J. Nevins of Ottawa, mail clerk on
the wrecked Irvin, when seen, said he
was in his car and witnessed the part-
ing of the train 011d the disaster that
fellow( d. I1. seemed a miracle to tiiln

were in the baggage ear, which was
crowded with Trunks. After the fire iiad

sa\v indistinct amasses among• the 1'e.1
hot iron linings that represented the
bodies of the dead. Most of them would
tee completely incinerated, as it was im-
possible to do anything till the heat had
subsided.

British who crossed the Atlantic on the

on going to Alberta, where many have
already secured employment. Applicu-
licns for help still continue to be pour-
ing in by hundreds to the immigration
officials, who are taxed to their utmost
in providing suitable situations for the
new comers. WO the near approach
of spring great anxiety is being felt by
the farmers, and the wages being offered
show a substantial increase over the
figures of a few weeks ago. Even as it
is the number of available men is not
nearly 80 great as the quota of applica-

for Acquittal
A despatch from New fork says : Af-
ter having struggled for nearly two
days to reach a verdict the 'Thaw jury
reported a disagreement lute on Friday
afternoon and was immediately dis-
charged. The hulul ballot stood seven
for conviction of murder in the first de-
gree and live for acquittal on the ground
•!1 insanity.
Thaw was al once taken back to the
Tombs. Application that he to released
oil buil \t oil undoubtedly be made very
soon, but it is regarded us almost cer-
lain flint the application will be denied.
District Attorney Jerome announced im-
mediately nf:er the jury's discharge that
'l'Itaw would be tried again, though not
for several nrr,nths.
'tree scent. in the court when the jury
announcc,3 its disagreement, though ac-
companied try all the formality usual on
such occasions, lost Hunch of the drastic
quality it would otherwise have pos-
sessed for the reason that Thaw and all
the members of the family were aware
that no agreement had been reached,
c(•I;nsel for each side having heel told of
this by Mr. Justice Fitzgerald before they
entered the court -room.
'I'l1A\V IIOPEFUI. TO 'I'llii LAST.
The young Piltsburger had earlier in
the afternoon again bundled up the mass
of letters and documents which he meant
to lake with him fro►n his cell. Ile was
even at the eleventh hour hopeful of ac-
quittal. 330 thought that the appeal of
Mr. Delmas, who pictured hint as a Sir
Galahad, rescuing forlorn damsels,
would impress the jury so greatly that
h would be liberated before the selling
of Friday's sup.
When he was told by Mr. Peabody
and \h'. O'Reilly of his counsel that the
result would he a mistrial, he dropped
his bundle of documents to the floor.
Tho bitterness of his disappointment was
beyond words. Ile faced uonllts more
of confinement and then the s'lrain of
another fIlul.
After some *cards of encouragement
from bis lawyers Thaw braced hire ,•II
and followed his prison t*tuned ins, tor•
e• ,ort -room. Ile s..pped into his chair
a' the head of the table reserved for Ihu
lawyers for the defence so quietly that
few of those in court noticed him.
TIIE PRISONER'S WIFE.
Evelyn \u,t.it Thaw slipper into the
mum frons 111,• (10(11' Which leads 10 the
Justice's chambers. Instead of tilkina
het accust•,Inr11 seat she swung a chuir
beside that in wilted her husband sat.
She knew the result ; she had been told
by the lawyers oho trade the fight for
her hush/nut's life and liberty. As she
sal close 10 111111 'Pilaw dropped his right
(rand toward her, caught_ her gloved
hand, and held it fast.
Some court atlendart. pressed a but.
ton, and n flood of light relieved the
cloudy April afternoon by the glare of
many electric lights. Clerk Penny arose
Prem his seat and called to Thaw to
stand and face the jury. Ile then turned
le Foreman Denting R. Smith and called
(a him and his eleven associates to face
the defendant.
'Pill: SCENE IN COURT.
Thaw stood up. in the glare of the
electric' light his face showed plainly the
pallor that comes from long imprison-
ment. '1'h,• lines from the curve of his
nostrils down to the chin seemed to
hate deepened as if the keenly sltarp-
cned plough of adversity had suddenly
furrowed theme. A few moments before
he had sat with his pitiful little treasures
Oa his Trip all neatly parcelled and ready
to carry Ilam to the ouler life, of which
ha had been deprived for nearly a year.
He had evert arranged 101' a tour abroad
with his wife. -
As Thaw rose he threw back his heavy
shoulders and put his chin In the air.
lie looked squarely tit Forenuni Smith
and Mr. Smith looked at Justice Fitz-
gerald.
The end of the case \vas brought •
quickly._ Clerk Penny asked if the jury
had reached a verdict. Mr. Smith said
simply thatril had not. lie then plumped
tur;,,'l( into his chair and Thaw sank
rata 1115.
