Twentyafive persons were more or less seriously injured, and others sustained cuts ana avulses. The tracks were not .entirely cleared of meet:age until to -day, although the ealtbouna track was tree tt of debris dur- ,ierz ing the night, and a number of trains were tra,neferred arouni the wreckage aud wrecking apparatus early in the day.

Many injured were attended by surgeons at the scene of the wreck, and were able to go to their homes. Early to -day no deaths had occurred at the hospital in Boston, although at least half a dozen of the victims are in a critical condition. Aside from the work of identifying the remains, which were removed from the charred ruins, the greatest interest centres this forenoon in the investigation of the cause of the disaster. President Lucius Tumle, of the Bos- ton & Maine Railroad, states that or- ders has -e been issued to start a search- ing inquiry. "I am horrified more than words can tell," said President Tuntle to -day, "and I cannot understand how such a frightful accident could have bap- -pened unless the signals were in some way misunderstood.' Those who were witnesses of the col- lision stated that the local train, which consisted of four cars, three of them passenger onehee, had ant pulled ont 1 ' early developed f4)ritilinItg 11.

On the retirement of Rev. Win. Reid, D. D., from the office of General Agent of tho Merck at Toronto, the choice of Lite General Assembly fell with tinail..

Possessed of private Means, he of Baker Bridge depot, it small flag sta- tion about a mile and a hall west of Lin- coln Station, Just west of the 'flag sta. tion is a highway bridge over the rail- road. The train had entered it deep cut after passing under the bridge, and the rear ear had just cleared the structure when the heavy Montreal express, eon - tasting of nine ears ana two locomotive, crashed into the rear, The speed of the local train at the time was barely no- ticeable by the pasesngers as It hatl just got under headway after leaving several passengers at Baker Bridge Sta- tion. The impact was terrific, and prob- ably it majority ot those killed met death almost instantly. The foriverd locomotive telescoped the rear car and passed part of the way' through the coaelr•immediately abead. . The second ear of the local train was also badly damaged, but the first carernd locomotive escaped. The leading engine of the express was practically destroyed in the collision and the wreck was completed when fire, which immediately broke out among the heaps of wreckage, consumed the wood- work of the two rear cars which re- mained on the roadbed and. Incinerated a number of yietims. The fireman of the leading locomotive Charles E. Barnard, was burned to death in his cab, but Engineer Connors manag- ed to esenpe in some strange mannea. At first it was supposed that he perished, but some time after midnight, it report was received that he had been found un- der it tree on the embankment, near the scene. His injuries were not regarded as serious and he was able to walk„The se- cond locomotive of the express was bad- ly damaged. The engineer and firemau of this eogine escaped njury, an,d, no person in the coaches of the Montreal train was injured. All the cars ;remained on the rails. When the accident occurred the local train was said to have been a few min- utes late and nowing that the xpress was close behind, it is claimed that the rear brakeman, Donor Gauthier, who was killed, set out red torches indicating dan- ger Whatever the reason the first en- gineer of the Montreal traiu, whose duty it was to scan the signals failed to observe any warnings and without ft movement having been made to cheek its speed the heavy train plunged into the local. It is expected that the responsib- ility will be placed by the railroad au- thorities. Two more bodies were recovered from tbe wreck this morning. One of them was taken from the top of the forward engine and the otherfrom beneath the engines trucks. One was that of a man and the other a, woman. This makes a to- tal of 19 dead. •I, Death of Rev.

Beauty Bedecked With Jewels Greeted the British Princess—To the Tink- ling of Anklets and Silver -Note Bells She Was Made Welcome. London, Nov. 27.—The Daily Mail publishes the following front its corre- spondent at Bombay: "By far the most splenlid ceremony of the week has been - the reception of the Princess of Wales by the women of the Hindu, Mahomme- data and Parsee communities. Through streets thronged with enthueinstic mul- titudes, Her Royal Highness arrived at. the Town Hull, which some magician had transformed into a picture that might have been painted by I3urne-Jones. Up the centre of the broad stairs ran a carpet of cloth and gold, like a golden ladder, ascending among beautiful wo- men clad itt flowing robes of white aud delicate tints of mauve and blue. Un- der the Grecian portico, where the golden ladder faded in light, stood a group of claldreu like it posy of pale roses and tulips. Chaplets of pearls bound their dark tresses, antimg which were entavined sweet -scented jasmine. In their hands. were baskets of jasmine flowers to seat. ter in the path of the Princess. In the clear light that precedes the sunset the picture was surpassingly beautiful. Ascending the golden ladder, the Trim cess paused midway to submit to the ceremonial with which Parsee women ward off evil and secure good fortune. An egg and a cocoanut were passsed seven times round the Princess' head and, then broken. So evil was turned to good. Rice was scattered that her Royal Highness might have enough and to spare. A few more golden rungs, and the Hindu ladies went through a ceremony which brings light and bright- ness to life. Then the Prineess passed to the Ma- hommedans, from whose bands shower- ed gold, and, silver -leaved almonds, em- blems of peace. A cocoanut was pre- sented in order that the royal guest might never lack food, water, shelter, or furniture, all of which the nut yields the thrifty Hindu, - Conducted to the Peacock throne, the Princess found herself in another fairy- land palace of Aladdin. On the walls hung priceless carpets from the looms of India and Persia. Between the massive pillars stretched gardens of flowers. And the company was of women and children clad in white, mauve and blue. Pearls and diamonds shone and sparkled in their dark hair, and upon some of them aneient embroidered garments cahowed more precious jewels. Seated on the throne, queen among her ladies, the Princess received address- es of welcome in three language.% and made brief and fitting reply to "her sisters." Music sueceeded the speech, 'L'o the jingling of ankleth and silver - note bells, Hindu maidens approached bearing vessels of gola on their heads. They King a weira foliating. The Mahommedans mme next, with more music and songs, succeeded by. the PlIlliCOS holding the sacred flame, about which they mreled gracefelly. Food and flowers wove then given, and her Royal Highness departed greatly delight- ed with the novel and picturesque cere. tunny. viz LATE REV, DR.

The inen of the other vessels refueed to even answer the mutinous sailors' signals. The city is 'Valet. Regular militay order is strictly preserved by proper sentinels. A special guard has been posted at the water works. The sailors declare tha,t they will return to their allegiance when they obtain What tho Czar prom- ised them, but nobody here knows ivaat they believe they were promised. The mutineers have been deeorted by the Brest Regiment, which marched off under arms to a eamp formed by loyal sailors, and sent a inessage to Vice. .Admiral Chouknin, asking his pardon and saying that they were ready to re. turn to duty. The authorities have poster artillery on the boulevard, which is t.he sole avenue, of communication between the city and the stronghold of the mutineersi And on the Balaklaaa road, the only other egress from Ad- miralty Point. They have the muti- neers completely hemmed in, but are awaiting the arrival of the troops from Simferopol before attempting to retake the barracks. Tbe mutineers are in a state of excel- lent discipline. They have erected bar- rientles, have placed a guard at. the aqueduct which supplies the barracks, posted artillery on the boulevard, which take regnilar turns at guard duty.

Details fo the mutiny show that on Friday eight sailors at the barracks seized, disarmed ' and expelled their officers. Rear Admiral Pisarevski, commander of the practice squadron. supported by at company from the Brest regiment, went to the meeting, and when it refused to disperse ordered the troops to fire.• Instead of shooting the mutineers, however, two shots rang out, and Capt. Stein, of the company, fell dead, and Rear Atbniral Pisareystri received a ball in his slinkier. During the night the sailors, with the aid of the Social Democrat leaders, hav- ing learned a lesson from tbe less pru- dent mutineers at Cronstadt, elected officers and decided upon a programme, pledging themselves not only not to pillage, kill or drink vodka, but to take measures to prevent rowdyism. On Saturday- morning they were join- ed by the workmen of the port, and at 11 o'clock, in complete order, the sail- ors carrying the banner of St. George and the -workmen red flags, marched to the barracks of the Brest regiment. The officers of the regiment threatened to fire upon the mutineers, but Gen. Nepleuff, a colonel and five other offi- cers surrendered, and were sent under escort to the marine prison. Formed a Procession. Being reinforced by the rank and file of the entire regiment, the mutineers and workmen formed a procession, composed of 10,000 nien, and marched through the city. At Novissilstoff Place the procession encountered sev- eral companies of the Beilostok Regi- ment with a machine gen battery. The mutineers approached, their bands playing the national anthem, aud the soldiers receiving the procession with full military honors, presenting arms anti exelianging cheers. But the Bieli. stole Regiment resisted the appeals of zit° mutineers to join them, and, obey- ing the orders of Commander Selma man, marched off towards the road leading to Balakleve. The battery however, remained with the mummy , and participated in the meeting. After the meeting the procession formed again and went to the barracks of the Biota stock Regiment, where there were other companies, but thecae companies also de- clined the invitation of the mutineers to join them. itt the afternoon the sailors from the barracks signaled their comrades eboard the warships to join them, and r else sent it deputetIon th Vice -Admiral work bis scheme on several of the local banks, and it is this that result - palace followed by it breathless officer, whose clothing gave evidence that, he had sealed the wall in pursuit of the more agile Prince. Prince and put -atter entered the King's presence together. The former pro. tested. against his confinement, but the King ordered him back to the fortress immediately under more vigilant guard. The Belgrade newepapers ar now We- ing up the matter ancl demanding to know the details of the Prince's offence. Some of them protesb against the in- dignity which has been put upon the State by the lanniliation of it marc ruler. Vienna newspapers say that when the tutor wont in full .uniform to bid the Prince adieu before going to Paris the Prince who disliked the major because Ito tried to keep him closer to his studies than he liked, threw it water bottle at his head and tore up some of his hooks. There seems to be little doubt that the Crown Prince is somewhat, of it young "hooligan." . AWFUL RAILWAY WRECK. _— Fifteen People Killed and Thirty Injured on Montreal Express.

Palace of Count Salvadago Scene of an Outrage. Milan, Nov. 26.—The palace of Count Salvadago, nt Drescia, was last night the scene of a disgraceful outrage. Burglars broke into the palace, and, failing to find money or transportable objects of value, took reveuge by setting fire to two of the salons. The value of the art treasures in Salvadago palace is immense. In particular the large salon is fam- ous for its ceiling, painted by Buon- vicino del Moreto in the fifteenth cen- tury, and for old furniture of great value. Another salon contained ancient Japanese bronze stints, Gobelin tapes- tries, pictures .by Titan, Mime, Muretto, Borgognone and other potters of the fifteenth century. Losses by the fire are very great. Among the objects destroyed were pic- tures by Borgognone, it crystal lustre and it number of articles of furniture. The ceiling by Moretto also suffered considerably. The 'fire burned itself ont for want of air. TRIED TO CHEAT BANKS. Montreal Police Arrest Chicago Man on This Charge.
