ALMOST A WRECK.
Dastardly Work at Kingston WhIeh Nearly
Oust Twelve Passengers mid a Number
of:Train Bands Their Lives.
A (despatch from Kingston, Ont.,
says:—The turning of a switch near
the Kingston and Pembroke railway
round -house at two o'clock Sunday
morning caused the derailment and
wreck of the Grand Trunk suburban
engine and passenger coach, and near-
ly cost twelve passengers and. a num-
ber of train hands their lives. No one
was injured. The switch was opened
with a regular key, and. detectives are
now at work ferretang ous the wretch
guilty of such dastardly work.
As the trainmen mostly are suppli-
ed with keys, they get lost, and event-
ually fall into the hands of others.
Grand Trunk railway people say the
wreck is the work of a person or per-
sons experienced in the switch busi-
ness, while friends of the striking
tractmen say it may have been the
work of enthusiastic sympathizers,
over whom they have no control -or
are not responsible for. Had a light
been on the turned switch the engine
driver would have seen the danger
signal and stopped short. The damage
to the engine and coach is consider-
able. The Belleville auxiliary worked
at the wreck this morning and clear -
the track.

SURGERY'S SEARCHLIGHT.
Electricity Lends a lIetping Mind Mere
and Elsewhere.
A great deal of interest has of late
years been taken in medical and sur-
gical subjects by laymen, and this is
not surprising, since the advances and
discoveries that have been made are
such as to command attention beeause
of their novelty and Startling _charac-
ter, Surgery, it is true, has always
been. more or less of an exact science,
and even in ancient times very serious
operations were sucCessfully under-

sidered modern. But itt the light of re-
velations, regarding the germ theory
of disease, antiseptic treatment of
wounds, preservative surgery, electri-
city in medicine, organic extracts and
their adnanistration as remedies' for
various disease, it is not strange that
people are constantly on the watch for
some discovery even more brilliant and
startling then anything that has hith-
erto been proclaimed.
Wonderful are the strides which
have been made bes the application of
electricity itt surgery and medicine.
The electric motor turns the 'drill of
the dentist, bores out ail the noses

great deal of the ice in the little 1,11-

and what aappe,ned to them is the un-
usual feature of tbis avalanche.
Itt the night a large Mass of snow
an the litIls on one .side of the streato
slipped from the slopes and glided
wiUl great veLocity dowa into the
river. The faee of the avalanche was
about a mile in length, and for that
distance it elid into the river, not
sharing the rivet' Led with the water,
but Yioleetly ejecting the stream and
the fish livieg in it.
