SHOCKING It&U WAY ACCIDENT JN WJ1Jf'If ',Y, JII, WILSON AND ALIMX, hlg•I'1IR11It7'Mo N,9100: CttUtltlttU TD DEA'tIL One of the moot shocking aooidents which over 000nrrod in this oommunity took' plane on Friday afternoon of last week, about a mile Emit of Atwood, on the Grand Trunk Railway, between Oho 811t and 6th cons of Elme It appears Wm. H. Wilson, seati00 boas, sed A.lex. Cnthbertaon, seationntau, wore returning to Atwood, pushing the jigger ahead of them, when engine No. 66 with the snow plow from Palmerston crashed into them, killing them instantly. In the melee both the jigger and the plow were considerably damaged, There was a heavy gale blowing at the time and a flurry of snow, and it is just poesible that neither the train crew nor the section men were aware of the danger. The fact of the mail train passing on to Atwood a few minutee ahead of the plow would verve to throw the men off their guard, and likewise confirm the suspicion that they bad not been notified of the presence of the plow either from the diapatcher'e oboe or by danger flag from rear end of the mail train, If such are the faote then the railway officials are criminally culp able, and should be held responsible as the law direots in such cases. The men were badly bruised but no dismemberment. There heads were out at the back, particularly Wileon'e, show ing that they were unconscious of the approach of the engine right up to the moment of the accident, One or two witoeaves of the aooident are reported, but strange to add they failed to put in an appearance at the Cor- oner's inquest, held later in the afternoon at the Atwood station. Dr. Kidd, of Atwood, Associate Coroner of the County of Perth, was notified, who quickly drove to the Beene of the moo/dent, add after viewing the bodice he ordered them removed to the station, where ex inquest was held at 5 30 p. m. THE INQUEST. The following citizens composed the jury :—D. G. Anderson (foreman), -Jno. Roger, B Candler, Geo. Anderson, R Buchanan, David Bell, Alex. Cameron, Geo Smith, Robt. Cunningham, Devid Graham, A. Buahanen, J. Corrie and Jos. McJ. '7:Ferrell Ferrell was appointed Clerk of the court. All the jurymen recognized the bodies the those of Wm. H. Wilson and Alex. Cuthberteon, both of Atwood. Also ob served that they were cut up more or less and meshed e.boat the head. Found them as described above, face upwards, with one of the railway employees on guard, wairing for the Coroner. Wm. Grigg, engineer of No. 66, was the first witoene sworn. He said : "I did not see the men, ib was im. poesible owing to the plow Men were puehing jigger ahead of them ; it was a rough day, high wind with anow ; I did not notice the men till after the accident ; went about a quarter of a mile aftee the accident marred ; speed, about 20 or 25 miles an hour. Aocideat happened about 2 15 p. m. I stopped as goiolt ae I got the signal, we then went back and found the bodies as the jurymen had " F L Lewis, conductor No. 66, sworn, stated :— e We were running towards Atwood, so were the seationmen. Observed dark object on the track about 100 yards ahead; running about 20 miles an hour ; rang the bell and signalled the engineer ; wind was blowing in their face and obstructed their hearing ; did not think the men knew we were after them, as they did not change their position from behind the jigger during the time I observed them ; both men were dead when we returned. I never had an accident of this kind be. fore ; the whistle was blown for the crossing ; my attention was upon the men and I did not notice the whistle post. I am a conductor for any train and am aaauetomed to this kind of work." Thos. Leakey, on of the train drew, sworn, said "My work is oiling snow plow and at- tending to repairs I first noticed dark object about 100 yards ahead, and saw the conductor about the same time stand. ing at front window ; remained with bodies until the Coroner Dame ; think it was about 25 yards when we noticed it waB the jigger men. I do not think they beard any alarm ; bodies were alone, I did not touch them " Wm. Nail, fireman of engine No. 66, sworn, stated :— "I saw nothing till after the accident ; I didn't recognize the bodies. Engineer reversed the engine after getting signal, and stopped as soon as he could. The bodies were not touched after the amai- dent." THE TORY'S VERMOT. "We, the undersigned jurymen, ion. panelled to hold an inquest on the bodies of William Henry Wilson and Alex. Cuthberteon, both of Atwood, being em ployed as seotionnen ou the Grand Trnak (Railway between Listowel and At• wood, do hereby declare that to the beat of our belief, the avid deceased did come to their death in a purely accidental manner, and that no blame can be attach. ed to the train of taials, who, according to their evidence, did all in their power to prevent the aooident," No other evidence was forlhooming, either in approval or rebuttal of the train• men's testimony, and here the matter reels—for the present at leant. Both men were married, and leave he. hind families. Mr. Wilson leaves a wife, who has been confined to, bed for some time, and three small children, while a wife prostrate with grief and five little ones mourn Mr Cuthberteon's untimely death Fortunately both men carried life insurance, $250 each in the Grand 'Drank Employees' Benefit Association and 51,000 each in the Canadian Order of Foresters, besides funeral benefits in the latter aooiety. It was very gratifying to observe the promptness with which the brethren of Court Lansdowne, No. 98, Atwood, rel lied to support and comfort thesorrow• etre:hen families of their dead brothers, Both funerals were conducted under the anapi000 of the Order, the cervico being held at the Presbyterian church on Sure day afternoon, at two o'olook, presided over by Neve. McLeod, Fear and Farr, each of whom spoke very mush to the point, which, with appropriate muni, from a anion choir, made the service doubly itnpreseive. The local and visit. ing Foresters, from Listowel, Milverton, Donegal, Brussels and Trowbridge, 00 oupied the ventre pews, There were over 150 Foresters present, inaladiog Organizers frank Elliott, of Harrieton, and John Torrance, of Listowel. It was after six o'clock when the brethren left the Elena Centre cemetery—Atwood Bee, HOWIOK 8. 8, CONVENTION, According to announcement the How. iok Union 5, S. Convention was held in the Methodist Church, Fordwioh, on Wednesday, Feb. 270h, with Rev. R. I. Hoekiog, President, in the chair, The meeting was called to order and the morning session opened by singing the hymn "All the way my Borten loads me," after which Rev. T. R. Forbes, of Listowel, offered the opening prayer and the President read the first Psalm. After singing the first verse of hymn 45, the secretary read the minutes of tate last meeting, and the report of the Sunday Schools, which were both approved. The report showed that the 15 S. 5. reported had 101. teachers, average attendance, 79 ; number of sobolare, 1027, average attend ante 677. The coat of running the schools was 5382 and 5137 was contribut- ed to missione and other objects, Ford with Presbyterian S. S. oontributing 576 of this amount. Wroxeter was chosen es the next plane of meeting, Rev. R. S. G. Aaderaon was elected president and Wm. Watters, per- manent Seo. -Trees. The time of holding the next meeting wee left in the hands of the Executive Committee. James Rowe followed with an interest• ing address on "The Relation of the Pas- tor to the S. S." The pastor is the over- seer of the 5. S., which is an aid to the home in teaching children the troths of the Btble. He is the leader and should advise in the selection of the superintend• ant and teaohera, which should be the very beet available. He should keep in touch with the S. S., being present as often as he has an opportunity, to give advice as he is their spiritual adviser. The pastor is often absent from S. S. be- cause he has another engagement at the sante hour. Rev. T. R, Forbes thought the pastor should educate their members to be gee• nine teachers in the home. Wesley Johnston now introduced the topio, "How to ioorease the attendance of children at the preaohing services." The pulpit, the Sunday School and the home are three important factors in this work. There should be sermons on Sab bath observance and special sermons to children once a quarter. It would be a good idea to have part of the sermon each Sabbath specially prepared for the child• ren and also to have one children's hymn sung. The Superintendent and teachers of the S. S. should do some personal work. They should be present themselves at all the services and strive to have their pupils there too. If the scholar is absent the teacher should visit him before the next Sabbath. The home is the greatest factor in this work therefore the great need of Chrietain homes. Parente should take their children to service when they do not want to go. The late D. L. Moody said when 110 had reached middle age, "Thanks to my mother for sending me to preaching service when I was young, especially when I did not want to go." The papers were interspersed with the Ringing of suitable hymns from the Cana- dian Hymnal. Rev. A. B. Dobson dis- missed the morning se ssion with the benediction. A0TERNOON SESSION. The session was opened with devotion al exercises, after which there was a short dieouasion on W. Johnston's paper, Rev. R. L Hooking and W. Watters taking part. Mies S. Bray, of Wroxeter, now gave au excellent paper on "The Model 5. S. Teacher." The model teacher should be energetic, cheerful, patient and in earn- est, He must be a student of the Bible and also a jadiaious reader of the best current literature. Lastly he should be a thorough consecrated Christian, one who refleots Christ in every day life. The model teacher should engage mach in prayet .for his plass and make a personal appeal to them to accept Christ. The lesson for the next Sabbath should be pre- pared thoroughont the week beginning on the previoue Sunday night. The lesson should be read carefully and prepared ao• cording to a plan. The teacher ahould bo conversant with every part of the leeaon which should also be studied prayerfully and from the standpoint of every individ- ual pupil. He should always be at hie post In time, begin the day's dutiee with a few minutes silent prayer and use only hie Bible in class and see that each scholar uses his or her own Bible. In teaching the lesson he gots his pupils intereeted fu it, asks theta questions and allows them to ask him questions and to give their opin- ion. He puts hie question to the individ nal and not to the olame. After the school is oloeod all should engage in silent prayer. During the week he keep' in touch with eaoh individual pupil. He visite them in times of illness, invitee them to his home, and, if absent from the plass on Sunday, finds out the reason why, that letting them know that they are missed. There is no better way to reach the hearts of the scholars than by taking an interest in what interests them whether it is music, football, hooky or fanny work. Rev. T. R Forbes said that before we oould have model teachers we must hen model men and women, who are few and far between. He though the paper was a good one, (Continued on page 4.)
