A despatch from Corning, N.Y.,
says: Westbound Lackawanna 11'as-
senger train No, 9, from New York,
due to arrive at Corning at 4.47
a.m., composed of -two engines, a
baggage car, 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 moaning by
express train No. 11, due at 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 failure to see
the signals set against his train.
The morning was a foggy one, and
he said he could not make them out.
The wrecked train stood on the
main track blocked by a crippled
freight train. There was no flag
out, according to Engineer Schroe-
der. The signals, which he de-
clared it was too ' 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 Corning 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

100 FAMILIES NEEB RELIEF
Regina Is Being Rebuilt ----C. P. 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 canvass
has been made as to the necessity
for relief. Immediate relief is need-
ed for some 100 families, 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 actual want. Hundreds
of other'victims of the cyclone are
being kept by friends who can ill
afford it. A large portion of those
whose residences and property were
devastated are wealthy or 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 own, are being
housed by relatives or friends.
Six automobiles are kept busy in-
vestigating oases for relief and dol-
ing out provisions.' The majority
of the homeless are being provided
for at private houses, but there are
still hundreds'sleeping in the public
schools and various public build-
ings and in tents on the site of their
former residences.
The C.P.R. have established a re-
cord in building their freight sheds.
The sheds were almost a total

scene of devastation. The . - yards
