Two Men Are Killed in Collision
Near Georgetown.
Georgetown, April 22.—Speeding be-
yond control on a down -grade, a light
engine in charge of Fred. Corley of
Stratford and James Lawson, fireman,
erashed into the rear oar of a cattle
train early yesterday, morning. Brake -
Mari Corey was killed instantly, and
Thomas Currah was burned to death
in the fianses which made the rear -
end eattle ear a roaring furnace in a
Mw moments.• Fellow -drovers who es-
caped made desperate efforts to tear
away the wreckage and rescue Currah,
relies° shouts for help were plainly
heard, but the men were driven back..
bythe smoke and fire.
Ourrah and the brakeman appear tc
have been the only men in the rear -
end ear of the eattle train in which
there were 45 car. Those who escap-
ed with no injuries beyond a severe
shaking up were: S. 0. Delt, Palmer-
ston, conductor of the cattle train,
and A. McKinley, Forest; W. 3. Tay-
lor, Varna; Benjamin nodgins, Le-
ese; George Wynn, Valngham; J.
Baer,
Brussel, and James Heffron,
Blyth, all drovers.
The accident occurred about 6.15
a.m., when the cattle train was pull.
bag into the yards at the junction of
the Grand Trune and the old North-
. eth line. The train was dwell by a
large "double-header" engine, but to
ikid it in climbing an up -grade, the
at light engine had been used to shove
'behind.
This engine was uncoupled and
when the deseent on the °thee side
began, it apparently got beyond eriff-
trol of the engineer and erashed into
the rem- end of the train at a high
rate of speed.
Ourrah, who was a middle-aged
married man, was taking his car of'
cattle from Bright to Corbett & Hall,
Torente. Three of the cattle •were
Allied by the ;collision but the others,
trbout fifteen in number, were taken
Set unharmed.
! The wreck blocked the main line for
theeral• home, delaying the Grand
Teunk Chicago train. The damage to
• the engine was not great.
Ourrah's son and •two brothers ar-
rived yesterday afternoon and their
eharge of the remains. Both bodies
were badly charred.
Coroner McCall of Milton, who, with
Crown Attorney Dick, visited the
scene ,yesterday, will open an inquest
