How It Happened.
Guelph despateh: Trainer's Cut, about
two and a half miles east of Guelph, was
the scene, of a xerione accident to the
Grata Trunk train front Toronto at 2.40
this afternoon, in which two men, and. a
young child. were killed, and about forty
passengers were more or less injured.
The tram was bound for aneago, and
left Toronto at 1 loaloek. It was travel-
ing at the rate of about fifty miles as
hour when a rail broke and. caueed the
disaster.
The rail broke on the south side of
the track, and, almost immediately after-
ward fi41 plate at the north rail
gave evay. Then three passenger coaches,
Ineluding the parlor car at tho rear of
le the train, and the 0=1)111411ton Car, be-
gin to pound the lies. After traveRng
in this way about fifty verde they broke
from the forward portion of the train
and went ilOWD the steep embankment
to the north of the tritek, into a, swamp.
The engine, tender and baggage ear
went about two hundred yards further
on,• bumping on the tied at a eonsidere
nble speeds when the baggage ear broke
loose, ena pulled the tender freed the
rails. The locomotive remained on the
track, the eagineer having applied the
emergeney nrs.ke, end only the rear
wheels Vete pullen off the teazle.

eurred there is a slight turve, and it

passenger coaches were strung out in
line, not uncoupled, end near by was
the combivation car, turned in such a
position as to torm the letter L, The
aaggage ear rolled down the bank some
distance further on. The train was in
charge of Conductor Woods, Port Huron,
anal the engine crew were William
Theumeon, engineer, and William A.
Huron, fireman. All the crew escaped
without injury.
The passengers were all thrown pro-
iniscuonsly about in the cars when they
landed at the bottom of the decline, and
few came out unscathed. On the first
pasenger coach was James Ryan, a well.
known resident of Guelph, whose foot
was badly crushed. It is feared mesa
tation may be necessary, Mr. ana rMs.
Doran and ehild were in this car. Mrs.
Doran was bruised severely on the top
of the head. and concussion of the brain
is feared. Mr. Doran was coming to
Guelph to visit friends, and Mrs. Doran
and child Were ping on to her former
home in Stratford. Mr. Doran was bruis-
ed and cut about the head.
H. J. Waite, a G. T. R. employee of
Port Huron, was ou the car in which ex -
Mayor O'Doaohue met death. Mr.
O'Donohue was sitting on the side of the
car opposite Waite. He said he thought
all the ears slid down the bank right side
up until they method the bottom, then
fell over on their sides. The first of the
three ears, however, as soon as it reach-
ed.the bottom, shot off endwise into a
clump of trees.
Passengers Med Up in Heaps.
Archibald Priest, a machinist of the
Canadia-American Linotype Company,
Toronto, wae on his way to Guelph to
do sone owork on the dircury linotype
marines, and wits hurt in the aeident.
He was generally bruised,. and it is
thought some ribs were broken. He was
in the passenger coach .behind the bag-
gage -car. Ile says his car rolled over
once before reaching the bottom. In tee
jar when the ear stopped the seats were
wrenched from their plaeee, the ear con-
siaerably wrecked, the passengers thrown
forcibly forward and the wreckage piled
on top o farm. He had two or three
pasengers piled on top of him. One of
them was bleeding from outs, and Mr.
Priest left the wreck and came to the
city with his face cevered with blood,
though lie was not cut. There must
Mom been some marvelloos escapes, as
the mixup and confusion in wrecked cries
was terrible.
