both sides of the little ,etream drop-
ped at a. sharp degree, a distance of
40 feet. Owing to the momentum of
the train, the engine leaped across
the abyss, plunged into the eoft
earth on the opposite side, and fell
back to the bottom. Engineer But-
ler and Fireman Adams were thrown
from the cab, but not seriouslY hurt.
The express ear and' the first chair
car were telescope.d. The immigrant
car followed by twee chair cars went
down en the Met side of the track,
and the first sleeper pitched forward
upon the mass of wreckage. Its

none of the occupants were injured.
The remaining cars also left their
trucks, but were not badly damaged.
It. was in the Immigrant and in the

and injuries occurred.
Heavy foliage lined the banks on
both sides of the culvert, the ap-
proach to which was over a, reverse

which the engine crew could see the

the structure gave way. The night
was intensely dark. For a moment
after the fatal plunge and dreadful
roar of crashing timbers a death-
like stillnesa prevailed. Then there
broke out the cries of the injured.
Trainmen caught up their lanterns
and rushed to the neighboring farm
houees foe aseistance. The farmers,
with their wives and children, bear-
ing torches, hastened to the scene,
and all efforts were bort. to giving
first aid to the injured.

Young Oxford Farmer Makes a Desperate
Attempt at Suicide.
A despatch from Woodstock, Ont.,
says: Armour Potter, aged 26, eon
01a respected farmer near Eastwood,
made a determined but unsuccessful
attempt to take his own life on
Tuesday night. Two implement men
were in the barn on his father's
place, when they heard screams.
Running into the house, they found
Potter struggling with his sister,
who was trying to get a four -ounce
brittle labelled "Paris green" away
from him, Potter had taken the
°entente in full view of his sister.
He probably took an overdose. A
doctor from Woodstock was summon-
ed, and the young man will probably
recover. Family troubles are be -
