100 F_AXILIES NEED RELIEF
Regina Is Being Rebuilt ----C. R R. Will
Erect 500 Houses
A despatch from Regina, Sask.,
says: The city officials' in various
committees have been 'working ever
since the Catastrophe with but a few
hours' sleep. A complete ,canyasS
has been made as:to:the necessity
for relief.:' Trnmediaterelief is need.,
ed for some lobiamilies, while more
will be added to the list later.:
Many who really need the relief are
probably concealing their needs,
and will not apply for, help unless
urged by 'aetual want. Hundreds
of other victims of . the cyclone are
being kept by friends who can ill
afford it. A 'large pdrtion of those
whose residences and property were
'devastated are wealthy Os well,to,
do people who, while they have re-
ceived a :severe setback, are not in
actual want, and while they lack
shelter of , their nwn, are being
hoteed by 'relatives or friends.
Si* automobiles are kept busy in-
vestigating cases for relief and dol-
ing out •previsions. The majority
of the homeless are being provided
for at private houses, but there are
still hundreds sleeping in the publie
schools and various public build-
ings and in tents on the sifie of their
former residences.
The C.P.R. have established a re-
cord in building their freight sheds.
The sheds were almost a total
wreck and their whole yard was a
scene of devastation. The yards
are already nearly cleared, and
five hundred carpenters have work-
ed with feverish haste so that the
sheds are now practically com-
pleted. The city has decided to
build a corrugated iron warehouse,
which will be rented to firms unable
to find accommodation.
The railway officials decided to
erect a large number of residu.tcos,
and they,settled on planfor two
classes of buildings, one a, two-story
house to cost about $2,500, the
other a bungalow costing about
31,800. 11 necessary they will build
five hundred of these houses, Ten-
ders for the houses have been called
for, and work Will be startedat
once. It is hoped to have some
completed within ten days.
Over a thousand carpenters are
now at \voids, and more are pouring
into the eity on every train. All are
being put to work. Hundreds of
bricklayers are also busy and the
i•esidences which were slightly dam-
aged or do not have .led be torn
down are being patched up for im-
mediate occupancy in remarkably
fast time.
The board of the Methodist
Church have arranged to go ahead
at once with the re-coestruetion of
their church. They propose occupy-
ing a building of similar proper -
tions on the old site, With few
changes in detail.
• The task•of removing the debris
will be slow, on account of the
heavy stone and timbers, which are
wedged in a mass of wreckage from
three to twenty feet high, Inspec-
tor Falls has not yet gone, over the
ruins of Knox Presbyterian Church
and could not say if portions of it
Were safe to rebuild upon. It is
quite likely it will be torn down.
Worjc of re -construction On the
Baptist Church will cost about $10,-
000, and is being rapidly pushed.
New pipe organ remains intact. The
Government is working on the new
telephone exchange, plans for which
bad been drawn up some months
ago. ,
DOG SURVIVED TWO MASTERS
- -
Its Barking in Boat Drew Attention
to Bodies.
A despatch from Vancouver, B.C.,
says: Dead from exhaustion and
exposure, the bodies of two fisher-
men -wen found on Wednesday in a
fishing boat off Pender Harbor, 70
miles up the northern coast. The
boat was nearly filled with water,
but, floating sturdily, and a dog,
still living, but very thirsty, had
strength enough left to bark loudly
and attract attention to the boat. To
the identity of the two men aboard
there is hardly a elle. The elder
man was lying in the bottom of tho
boat. He leered to have been an
Englishman of about 45. The other
was a Led of 28 or 20, and his body
had evidently been lashed by his
companion to the mast. The men
had not been dead more than a day
or two. On tlie collar of the dog
were initials on a brass plate
"G.S.V., D.T.P., 1912, so."

ANOTHER. RAItyvly WRECK.
Twenty-one People Killed on Picnic
Excursion.
A despatch from Latrobe, Penn.,
Says: Twenty-one persons were
killed and many fatally injured at -
4 o'clock on Friday, on the Ligon-
ier Valley Railroad, when a passen-
ger rain carrying picnickers was
backing into Wilpen, through a
misunderstanding of orders. The
accident happened at the Fair
grounds. The accident was caused
by a double-header freight, which
crashed into the rear Coach of the
paesenger train, telescoping sever-
al care. According to latest reports,
but one passenger on the train es-
caped injury.
THOUSAND MINERS STRIKE.
Tiro Groups Go Ont in Wyoming
District of PennsYlvania.
A despatch from Wilkesbarre,
Penn., says: One thousand miners
and laborers went on a strike in
the Wyoming . Valley on Wednes-
day. Five hundred mon employed
by the Susquehanna Company at
Nanticoke went out because a num-
ber of men refused to join the un-
ion. At the Butler Colliery, Pitts-
ton, five'hundred miners quit work
because the foreman discharged a
slate picker.
There are over 100,000 paupers in
London.
FORTY-ONE
PEOPLE KILLED
And Fifty Were Injured in Passenger Train
• Wreck Near Corning, N. Y.
A despatch from Corning, N.Y.,
says: Westbound Lackawanna pas-
senger train No. 9, from New York,
due to arrive at Coming at 4.47
a.m., composed of two engines, a
baggage ear, three Pullmans and
two day , coaches, in the order
named, was demolished at Gibson,
three miles east of Corning at 5.25
o'clock on Thursday morning by
express train No. 11, due et Corn-
ing at 5.10 a.m. Forty-one persons
were killed and between fifty and
sixty injured. Many of the victims
were holiday excursionists bound to
Niagara Falls, who had boarded the
train at points along the Lackawan-
na from Hoboken to Buffalo.
The wreck was the worst in the
history of the road. Its cause, ac-
cording to Engineer Schroeder of
the express, was his failere to sec
the signals set against his train.
The morning was a foggy one, and
he said he could not inalse them out.
The wrecked train stood on the
• main track hlocked by, a crippled
freight train. There was no fla,g
out, according to Engineer Schroe-
der. The signals, which he de-
clared it was to foggy to see, were
just around the curve. •
Schroeder had taken train No. 11
at Elmira fifteen minutes before. It
was a few minutes late. The stretch
of track from Elmira to Coining is
fitted for fast running, and he was
sending his train along at the rate
of 65 miles an hour. No. 9 was, sup-
posed to be half an hour ahead of
him. He never had any warning
until he made out the outline of the
rear coach of .No. 9 through the fog
that was crawling up the mountain
from the river far below. Ho saw
the lights ahead and threw on the
reverse without shutting 'off the
steam.
The jerk threw the train off the
track, and the locomotive' plunged
on a few rods further to spliater the
two day coaches filled with excur-
sionists and tear through the last
of the Pullmans. Schroeder said
that the impact was so great that
it threw him from the cab and land-
ed him on his shoulder on the road
bed, practically unhurt.
The 100 -ton monster continued its
plunge through the middle of the
train, grinding everything in its
path. It seemed as 1± 1± would cut
through every car. Then when it
was finally blocked by a mountain
of debris piled in front of it, it re-
mained on the roadbed in the midst
of the desolation its plunge had
created, while thousands of persons
rushed in everY kind of vehicle to
the scene to lift and pry the dead
and injured from the tangled mass
of wreckage.
Thirteen of the injured and ten
of the dead were taken to Elmira
on a special train. The other dead
were taken to nnelertaking rooms in
Corning and the remainder of the
injured were conveyed to the Corn-
ing City Hospital, There a large
corps of doctors and nurses ivorked
rapidly and efficiently. All the
physicians it the eity were summon-
ed, and :many ministers ancl'priests
were called to administer last sacra-
ments and receive messages for re-
latives and friends from the dying.
Most of the bodies were badly
mangled, their condition testifying
to the terrific 'driving power of
Schroeder"s engine as it crashed
through the fated train. The cars
themselves were one heaped-up
mass of wreckage, telescoped into
each other. The last IWO cars on
No 11 remained on the track and
later were used as hospital
The people of Corning have open-
ed their homes to the injured who
could not find accommodation at
th'e hospital, or whose injuries were
too slight to warrant their croWding
other persons from the inetitutions.

T. AND N. 0. TRAFFIC.
Operating Charges Keep Net Earn-
ings Down.
A despatch from Toronto says:
Traffic is still increasing steadily on
the T. and N. 0. Railway, although
heavier operating charges keep net
earnings from gaining much on last
year's figures. The gross earnings
for April amounted to 3142,525,
compared with $118,181 in May,
1911. Oper,ating charges increased
frota $78,000 to 3107,000, leaving a
net revenue of $50,869. In April,
1911, the net earnings for the month
was $40,467. From the beginning
of the financial year on Nov. 1 to
the end of April net earnings
amounted to $278,000, compared
with $272,000 for the corresponding
peeled last year. A considerable
portion of the road's 'earning rev-
enue this year is represented by
ore royalties, the total being 371,-
900, compared with only 312,391 for
the corresponding period of 1910-
1911.
A colonization road will be built
to connect the. Frederickhouse and
