The ehief int(.e r_ne c.l
iestititntlV of Robe* Earith, who told
Alit= story of the wreck. Earith ad-
mitted his otnilic•;:on 'fiiarikly, stating
• that :ttt'aeltaln should have reminded
hint of the passenger train before
they left Druxnbo. Ho knew the tinte-
table of tlto train in question when
he left Stratford. He thought he had
time enough to reach Yarns junction
five minutes clear of the rsaseenger
train. os provided by the raves, which
provided 'for the priority of trains of
fins', to -cord unci third class, the
trains of superior class having right -
of -wad;. The rules provided that in
case of a- single, track the inferior
train should take to . s:. siding. This
was all . ulisolue.e, {wilt, 'nom dependent
otx atKe• •depl)ate< z:4l' orders. The rules
also held oonduetora•acid •enginernen
equally responsible, •for the safety of
their , trains.
The order received by pt'eaeham
and Enrith from the despatcher at
Stratford 'vas as follows: "Run as
extra. from Stratford- tae: PariG Sane -
tion." The rules provided as to how
an extra should be run.
Engineer Earith said that his en-
gine. which was a new one, gave him
F lot of trouble coming clown, the
cylinders blowing open and requiring
hi.nl to stop. The engine lost time=
and • as. the troubles bothered the en-
gineer hes forgot all about the pas-
senger train and the human .i.fe on
board. TIad his engine been in per-
fect order he would have made Paris
Junction before there was the p
sibilitv, of an accident. When. how-
ever, he saw the approach of the op -
peeing engine, he first. applied. the
emergency brake and reversed the
engine, giving one sharp. one long
'Ind six short, whistles,, all differ-
entus- :
danger :signage. ' . • .
By that time the crash was im-
minent, and be believed his engine
was backing up from the passenger
train. He yelled' to hid fireman tee
jump, and jumped himeelf just in
time. Earith was not aura that, his
headlight remained lighted, a it was
a new one. -
Other witnesses *ere': Thos. Anse -
brook, conductor: Dr. Sanderson, arid
Scheifle, bral.esznan. Other wit-
nesses were on hand, bat Dr. Staples
thought the evidence war eufficien t,
for the finding of a clear verdict, and
told the jury ego,

Meacham being overworked., Tra.itt-
master. Forrester submitted a state-
remit of hours on and off duty 1)1;
Meacham from Tannery 28 to Febru-
dry* A. It slzoived an' average of near-
ly 14 hours off fluty, ')Engineer Earithl
denied the report that lie vas over-
worked.
The company has made every et -
fort' to locate Meacham for the in-
quest, but failed to de so.
The evidence was -conclusive, and at
the close of the ;sitting' Dr. Staples
announced -that he would at. thea
eoinmunieate the finding -to the Ox-
ford county authorities. with the re-
sult, thut warrants will 'probably be

from members and on Mr. Foreman
insisting on his right to a hearing he
was interrupted and finally eat doom.
Mr. Wilson oleo referred to his
visit to a number of exhibitions lin
Great Britain and the European co:?-
tinent. Ite found that Ontario fann-
ers had much to learn from the meth -
cols of conducting throe fairs. elate
Midway was not in evidence, and edu-
cational features were everywhere
prominent, Stock was judged in ringe
in front of the grantlstalui5. Milking
and horso-shoeing competitions 'vers
features at the Scottfsli fairs. Prises
were also given for eggs.
President Ii, J. Gould, Uxbridge,
in his annual report, said that in the
larger centres the speeding of horses
was the predominating feat ire. In
towns and cities many persons would
not walk through a field to view n
splendid herd of cattle, but would
stand for hours in the rain to see a
horse race'. The directors found t)eeea
people their heaviest contributore.
and this part of the Fair had to he at-
tended to.
Mr. Gould was not in synipatlly with
the hlidway at large shows. It wst,
neither useful nor ornamental, and itc
some cases it was immoral. He ha*
been at fairs where there were etc.
horse racing or special attrnetinttte.
and yet some were a success. State-
ing, field (trop competitions were int'

ing with approval. he=e
Lengthy discussions followed t
reports.
At the -exalting session the scheme

Mr. Wilson explained that this pI,

for this purpose was not to exceed

average gate receipts foe the three
previous years. In rto ease was over

Some of the tllembera protested. fit
