CHARRED BEYOND RECOGNITION, Court Reporter Monahan Resting a Little Easier -Condition of the Other Wound- ed Puesengers-Tho Track Cleared Early Saturday Morning and Tlta1R6 Resum- ed -Au Inquest Opened at Weston. Toronto, Feb. 11. - Tho charred remains of Mr. Frank J. Joseph, assistant Jae. clerk of the Legislative As- sembly, who was killed fu the Grand Truck wreck at Wardlaw'e cut, near Weston on Friday afteruoon, were found by the crow of the wreckiug train Satur- day morning. The wreckers had been workiug all night long to clear the lines and tow the ruined trucks, which were all that re- mained of the railway coaches, to Wes- ton. Working from the Weston end of the wreck, the meu were compelled to clear away the debris as they met with it, and the ruiuo of the Pullman Jamaica,' in which it was thought some trace of Mr. Joseph would be discovered, were not reached uutil 1.30 o;eloek Saturday morning. The storm had been raging for several hours with unabated fury, and the snow had drjtted its around the wheels, until the wreck was covered in many places more than a foot " deep. When the auxiliary had towed away the wrecks of three. coaches, stud the men turned their attention to the Pullman Jamaica, the sturnt had subsided. Shovels were vigorously plied and the snow thrown clear off the front end of the Pullman, and the search for a trace of human remains was, begun. As the rear end of the wrecked coach was be- ing reached the men worked in expectant silence, and in the strange light of the moon each new piece of blackened wreck to appear through the snow resembled a human form. The searchers were about to relinquish their quest and attach the huge tow- lines of the auxiliary engine to the wreck, when one worker, peering down beneath the wreck and between the rear axles of the coach, diocerned what he thought to be a blackeued bone. When the heavy iron framewdrk had been cleared away a workman crawled beneath, soon returning •with all that the consuming flames had sliarod•gf the unfortunate man. It will be iemembered that in the in- terview with Mr. Charles' A. E. Carr, published its Saturday's World, it was stated that Mr. Joseph was in all probability iu the lavatory when the pitch -in occurred. The spot in which the remains were found bears out this version of his death. The lavatory was less than eight feet from tho rear of the car, and when the engine sent its iron nose crashing through the Pul'lmau there, coulj be no escape for Mr. Joseph. There is every probability that death came with merciful iustan- taniety its the first creels, aud•spared its victim from the horrors of a living cre- mation. No cries were 'heard issuing from the wreck, but no human voice eteuld have been heard above the wild eliriek of the winds, the roar of the flames and •the hiss of the escaping steam. The lavatory was crushed like an egg.,eball by the forco of the collision. The remains were immediately placed aboard the auxiliary and taken to Wes- ton. UpoIn arrival there Dr. Charlton, coroner, was summoned, and he tuade an examination of the body. The heat of the fire surrounding the body must have .been intense, as is attested not only by the condition of the remains, but by the appearance of the wreck of the locomotive, the bell of which had been! literally melted from its fasteuings. The limbs, head and shoulders had been consumed to ashes, nota trace of a bone remaining. The vertebrae had been red, but was molten into ono large The drifting snows had extiu - ed the flames before they had en - reduced the trunk and vital or- ^_ Ik beyond any possibility of being re- ffilitid as a portion of a human form. ,lttreteidy had fain on the track while th 're was 1'i to progress. The a 3.. 1, �y he condition i of the vital organs gens showed that Mr. Jo- seph's life was literally crushed out of hiru in the first smash. The heart was driven downwards and the liver crushed in an opposite direc- tion. Two inches of the stump of the large bone of the right leg is all that re- mains of the Iinmbs. The texture of the dead man's clothing could be discerned among the tushes, and a single button was discovered. His glasses were molten into an opaque substance, and the remnants of the silver watch worn by Mr. Joseph had the ap- pearance of a large clinker taken from n coal stove, with th'' form of a small cog wheel discernible The charm was a gold one, and two links still retain their original form. Coroner Charlton empanelled a jury, end an inquest was opened in Weston Town 11011 Saturday evening. Those of the passengers whose injuriee would permit were present, but an ad- journment was made to await the out- come of the injuries to Engineer Main- waring and Conrt Reporter Monahan. Tate wrecking crew succeeded in clear- ing the lines to admit of traffic at 10.30 n. m. Saturday. The ruins of three coacher; and the engine are now stand- ing in the siding at Weston, and the trucks o fe th re at ' ng conchrsw' will be cleared away from the scene of the dire Deter during today. The remains of Mr. Joeeph were brought to Toronto yesterday, and the funeral will take place from St. James' Cathe- dral at 4 o'clock this afternoon. On euquiryl ast night at St. Michael's Hospital, Dr. Dwyer stated that there was little improvement in Mr. Mona- han's condition. After consultation with Drs. Riordan and Cameron on Saturday night, an operation was performed. Ow- ing to the complication of internal in- juries, Mr. Monahan remains in a very critical condition. Engineer Charles Mainwaring is pro- gressing favoreblly at the General Hos- pital, and hopes are now entertained of his recovery. CHIEF OF THE CLAN MA('LEOD.

Changes in the 1Marine and Fisheries De- partment as Ottawa Necessitate Throe Retirements. Ottawa, Feb. 10. -The task of reor- ganizing the Department of Marine and Fisheries, which Sir Charles Tupper bad in view durlug the last few months of hie teaurjl of office as Minister, is being energetloally tackled by his successor, Hon. Mr. Costlgan. The changes con- templated wUl involve the retirement of Mr. Samuel Wilmot, the preseut Super- intendent of Fish Culture, and of Mr. 5. Bauset, chief clerk in the Fisheries De- partment. Since the appointment of Professor Prince as Commissioner of Fisheries, whose high scieutific attain- ments include a thorough knowledge of fis'h culture, the necessity of a separate office as superintendent of this branch no longer exists. The office will there- fore be abolished. Mr. Wilmot has been its the public serves Pori 29 years, and it is confidently expected that the Govern- ment will allow him to retire at the maximum allowance. Another change contemplated In con- nection with Mr. Coetigau'e department is the proposed retirement of Mr. J. H. Harding, agent of the Marine Depart- ment at St. John, N.B Iie will probab- ly be succeeded by his son, Mr. F. J. Harding, who is assistant agent.

New York, Feb. 10. -Three Atlantic liners arrived at this port this morning, but none of them brought any news of the overdue steamer La Gaecogne, which should have reached here cue week ago. The first to arrive was the Manitoba, from London, which passed Sandy Hook at 2.05 a.m. She is probably a freight steamer, but on this trip, as usual, brought a few passengers, She cleared from London on Jan. 26 and had moder- ate weather until Feb. 4, when she en- countered a hurricane off Sable Island. From t: 't until Feb. 6 she experienced rough we, ther and extreme cold. The Rhin,'wd which left Antwerp Jan. 26, wit. nine cabin and 116 steer- age paeseugers, 'arrived at the Bar at 7 o'clock this mors tug. She also encoun- tered the hurrican. off Sable Island on Feb. 4, and on the 5th and 6th was obliged to heave to for 24 hours. After the arrival of the Teutonic on Friday night with no news of La Gaecogne the hopes oi those interested in the French liner were transferred to the Rhiueland, and they experieuced another disappoint- ment wheu the latter reported hero with uo tidiugs oi the belated, vessel. The Rhineland was a mass of ice, formed by freezing spray under the ropes an loch thick, which were- at least ten iuchea in diameter, and it was almost impossible to see forward from the bridge. The steamer was so weighted down with the ice that she was listed to starboard at au angle of nearly 45 degrees. The Manitoba had almost exactly the same experience as the Rhineland, but did not suffer so much from the ice. She is a very large vessel, and the spray did not reach her decks. Tho only vessel sighted by the Manitoba was the Rhine- land, which she passed two days ago. The neat to arrive was the Cunarder 1 tnbria, from Liverpool Feb. 2 and Queeustowu Feb. 3, which passed Sandy Hook at 10.50 a.m. She had strong northeasterly winds to Feb. 7, wheu the wind shifted to northwest and struck her with hurricane force off Barnegat. She was compelled to heave to for 30 hours, and drifted out miles to the east- ward. She also came without any news of La Gascogre. The Umbria brought 89 saloon, 89 second cabin and 189 steerage passengers. Among her pas- sengers were John Vevera, Charles Hoff- mann and Eugene Schlegel, survivors of the Elbe disaster.

At 5.45 on Friezes evening the Port Hope express No• 1, from the east, col- lided with it uuowplow special one end a half miles north of Agincourt and half a mile eoutls of Millikeu's Corners. The special consisted of an engine, a snowplow, a scraper and a, van. At Milliken's Corucrs the special beciimo lodged its the suowurift, And. as in the Westou aecideut, the engineer of the Port Hope express was prevented by the heavy storm from hearing the warning. The auovvplow w•ae manned by a crew from Lindsay, including Engineer Rigg and Fireman Jausea Cullttt, both of Tor- onto; Frank Burto.r, brakeman; George W. Riley, condn;:tor; Charles Moore, brakeman, and J. Davey of Stouffville, soctiou foreman, The scraper and the van were behind the engine and were completely telescop- ed. Engineer Rigg was buried under the rains, and whets hie body was gotten out on Saturday morning it was mutilat- ed beyond recognition. The fireman, Cullen had a miraculous escape, landing on top of the ruins only slightly hurt. Through his hair was a splinter big enough to perforate hie skull. George W. Riley, the conductor, sustained seri- ous injuries. Both bones of the left fore arm were fractured, and protruded through the flesh. The upper arm was also fractured; several ribs tire broken and his body was Sadly scalded. Charles Moore„ brakeman, sustained severe scalp wounds and had his legs burned. Both Miley anti Moore live in Lindsay, and are being cared for at the General Hospital, Section Fore- man Davey of Stouffville sustained se- vere ecaip wounds, and is being tended et his brother's home in Toronto. Frank Burton' sustained a like injury, end went home to Lindsay Saturday night. There were about forty pas- sengers on the Port Hope train, but saving one persou, who hatL his brow scratched, all escaped with a slight shaking up. As soon as the farmers of the vicin- ity learned of the accident they same to the desistance of the trainmen and passengers. 1:Iot tea and provisions were carried to the scene and every passenger got a good meal. Saturday morning a number of farmers came and carried most of them to their homes for breakfast, and later other neighbors came to the scene with mar eproviaions, so that none suffered from hunger. Coroner Sisley ordered an inquest on the body of the deau engineer, and em- panelled a jury, who viewed the re- maiue on Saturday night, and the 'in- quest was adjuremed. The remains of Engineer ltigg were brought home Sunday eveuiug, and will at 1. p.m. Tuesday be conveyed by the G.T.R. to Sarnia, where the funeral will take place on Wednesday. KILLED.

Knowing the Dr. Williams Medicine (7o. to he an honorable and reliable firm we had never any reason to doubt the entire truthfulness of the articles appearing from time to time setting forth the particulars of relnnrkablecures affected by the us@ of their Pink Pills. There is scarcely a locality in Canada which has not furnished a case of more or less prominence, and if the particu- lars, as stated, were not accurate, it would be impossible that the public, would not find it nut and thus the remedy would he discredited. There is therefore every ground to believe that the statements are accurate in every particular We have now been put in a position to verify one of these cases for ourselves, and we give the result faithfully, giving Pink Pills no word of praise not merited in the case. Messrs F. Clarke & Co., druggists, of Medford, who have sold very large quantities of these famous pills, drew our attention to the case, giving us the name of Mr. Henry Lamb, a well known and respected farther of St. Vin- cent township. in- centtownship. Having some acquaint- ance with Mr. Lamb we sought an in- terview, and the following is the sub- stance of his testimony: "About 8 years ago I suffered from an attack of inflammation of the stomach, causing ate extreme pain and uneasiness. I was attended by Dr. Clarke, of Mea - ford, who brought ole around, and I have always given hips the credit, of saving my life on that occasion.
