was when the motorman felt the 'car

peril, he applied the brakes and reversed
the power. The weight of a number of
men on the running .board and the
momentum sufficed to derail the great
car and throw it into the road twenty
feet from the track, where it fell on its
side between a tree and a guide post.
Seven of the passengers were pinioned
between the car and instantly • killed.
The shrieks and groans of the other
passengers gave evidence of the terrible
injuries. Immediately those who es-
caped with little or no injury began the
work of rescue, Within a few moments

Math -hi, June 4. ---The police are on the
track of the accomplices of Manuel Mor
ales, the would-be assassin of King Al-
fonso and Queen 'Victoria, who committed
suicide Saturday at Torrejon de Ardos
after having shot the rural guard who
arrested him. His confederates, it is now
known, assisted Morales in escaping and
gave him shelter on Thursday and Fri-
day nights. It is believed that Morales
used an automobile in escaping from
Madrid and a canvass of all the automo-
biles is going on. The movements of
Morales in his flight have been traced
through the suburbs, where he exchanged
his clothes.
The reward of $5,000 offered for the
apprehension of the would-be regicide
will be distributed among the widow and
five children of the guard who appre-
hended Morales. A popular subscription
will also be raised for the widow.
The personal visits and attentions of
the Grand Duke Vladimir to the officers
wounded by the explosion of Morales'
bomb have caused a committee of offi-
cers of the garrison of Madrid to present
the Grand Duke with an address of
thanks.

"The disclosures about packing house

told what I knew then .Had the matter
been taken up at that time thousands
of lives would have been eaved.
"I believe that 3,000 United. States
soldiers lost their lives because of adul-
terated, impure, poisonous meat. There
is no way of estimating the number of
soldiers whose health was ruined by rat-
ing impure food.
"I have a batch of testimony on the
subject in the way of affidavits that I
collected when I made my investigation
seven years ago. The investigating com-

hear 2,000 witnesses whom I had :eddy.
At tbat time I could have secured the

'electric light wire at the residence of
Clcophas Grapier, 103 Queen street,
ned beef sold to the army was impure,
adulterated and unwholsome.
"In my investigation of `embalmed'
beef duringthe Spanish-American war
I found poisons were used to preserve
meat. My first intimation of the prac-
tice came to me in reports from com-
manding officers to the effect that time
rations were unwholesome and were mak-
ing the soldiers sick. I ordered an in-
vestigation and learned from the re-
ports brought to me that canned meats
had been sold to the army which had
been for months in the warehouse of the
Baltimore and Ohio Railroad and in the
docks at Liverpool,
"This meat had been relabelled and
sold to the United States for eoldiers'
rations. I turned the reports over to the
War Department and a whitewashing
investigation was instituted. and, suc-
cessfully carried out. The official report
was that a `colossal error had been made
As a matter of fact, it was a colossal
fraud and the persons who perpetrated
it and were interested in it should have
been sent to the penitentiary."
FRAUDS ON FARMERS.
ARTHUR SMITH, OF BEACH VILE,
AITESTED.
Advertised to Supply Nearly Every
Want at Wholesale Prices- Seed
Potatoes Ordered Were Not Re-
ceived.
Woodstock despatch: Last night high
County Constable Boyle, of St. Cathar-
ines, and County Conetable Hill, of this
city, arrested Arthur Smith, of Hillcrest
Farm,Beaelmville, upon the charge of ob-
taining money under false pretences with
intent to defraud. The arrest was made
at the instigation of E. G. Hull & Sons,
nurserymen. of St. Catharines, who 'claim
they bave sent money to Smith Bros.,
Bead:vine, for a shipment of seed pota-
toes which were never forwarded. Smith
was taken to St. Catharines this morn-
ing-.
The arrest discloses a strange story.
The First National 'Co-operative -Society
of Woodstock has spread advertisements
broadcast, advertising everything you
eat, wear or use at wholesale prices. Cir-
culars were issued, and they led directly
to Smith's arrest. The public bit, and
pastal notes and bank drafts bave been
coming to the Post Office bere. There
were no offices of the society here, nor
Was it known, and many of the letters
were sent to the dead letter office. Oth-
ers, how•ever, found their way to Smith.
The mails were used extensively, and
a Post Office official was sent to investi-
gate. The case wee worked up, butt for
some reason the society Wag not prose-
cuted. The dupes of the society were
chiefly 'farm ere.
Among the advertisements was one of
steed potatoese that sold at 1,41,000 a
stone. No arrests were made until last
night, when the county officers- went to
Ilertehville. An examinatiou of the Deena
isem of the prisoner revealed nothing of
the ailvertieed goods except a few strait'.
