Hoinuth and Mr. Peter McCall, wife and son, arrived home from the West where they spent a few weeks." They were in the wreck of the C. P. R, on Friday morning about 78 miles west of Fort William. The wreck was caused by a broken rail, and when Mr. Hornuth was tel - hug us of it, he pulled out a little handful of what looked to be the fin- est of kindling. He tells us that at least two of the eight cars which were derailed were simply large piles of matchwood. How everyone escaped without serious injury is a miracle. It was about eight o'clock in the morn- ing and many were still in their births. Mr. Homuth -was washing when he felt the grinding noise and found his coach was rapidly going over. Look- ing out the door just behind hint he saw a 'coach completely turned around and about five feet of rail sticking up through the ceiling, The rail had pierced the bottom of the coach and ran right through sword like swing- ing two coaches completely face about It was indeed a miracle that no per- son was killed, arid the peoPle have reason to be thankful.
