Monday Night's Train Derailed
Brussolites among the Passengers
Railway accidents are frequently
reported in the daily press but com-
parative small attention is paid large-
ly on account of their remoteness but
last Monday night the location was
near enough to make it very realistic:
and fortunately no one was injured
barring one of the engineers.
J. T. Wood, of Brussels, was a pas-
senger and gave Tier Posy report-
er the following particulars :-We left
Palmerston over an hone late Monday
night with a double header as track
was icy and full of snow, After get-
ting away from Listowel we ran slow-
ly and passing the highway, 14 miles
from town,. we felr a bump for 100
yaeds and immediately followed a
sudden jar, caused by the application
of the air brake. The cars swayed
and stoppedemd on investigation we
found both engines in the ditch, the
tender of the last one being separated
from the engine but still attached to
baggage car, which was tilted and al-
most off the road bed. Engineer
Moorehead, a veteran on the road, had
his side injured and the escape of the
other engineer and firemen bordered
on the miraculous as the engines were
little more than junk after the upset.
Conductor Halpeuny was in charge of
train and did his part with the other
members of the clew to make every-
thing as comfortable as possible in
first-class style. The passenger car
soon got cold when the steam connec-
tions were severed but a coal stove in
the mail car afforded its friendly
warmth as a set off to the howling
storm outside. We warehoused there
from about 10 p. tn. to 2 a. ni. Tuesday
morning when two engines arrived
from Palmerston, with the auxiliary,
when our cars were pilled back on the
rails and hauled back to Listowel
where comfortable lodgings were pro-
vided at the hotels.
Among the passengers from Brus-
sels locality were Mr, and Mrs. Bish-
op, Mrs. W. Slemmon and Miss Mabel
Haycroft beside myself,
I have done a good share of travel-
ling on the railway but don't want
any closer call than Monday night.
• Ice and snow on the crossing seem-
ed to be the cause of the run off.
Fortunately the train was running
slow and the side of tbe track where
the engines went off was well up to
the level of the roadbed.
Tuesday evening I met Alex. An-
derson, liveryman, of Brussels, in Lis-
towel. whence be had driven some
travellers. He provided me with
warm wraps and we landed home safe
and sound that night with only one
upset. It is a good thing to be guard-
ed by a kindly Providence.

Mitchell, a purse of gold was present-
ed to their departing member, F. A,
May, who has entered into business
with his brother at Exeter. •
At the annual meeting of Knox
church, Mitchell, the Financial State-
ment ehowed a most successful year
and the organist Miss Bain was voted
an extra 525. The Managers were in-
structed to make some improvements
to the church and manse.
Among the notable events of the
past week was the passing away after
a wasting illness of Mrs. John
Broderick at the ripe age of 74 years.
It was notable because of the long
residence of the deceased in Mitchell,
because of her prominence as a citi-
zen and because of the large family
she'brought up, who filled so large a
place tn the social life of the com-
munity. Mis. Broderick was born in
County Clare, Ireland, in 1841, and
came to America early in life. In
1860 she was married to John Broder-
ick in St. LOtlis, Missouri, and came
to Mitchell 5 years afterwards and
continued a resident of that town up
to her death,
The marriage of Joseph Petrie and
Miss Maude 13arton took place in the
Methodist church, Donegal, on Wed-
nesday of last week, Rev. Dr. Hueser
officiated.
