warmly welcomed by Mr. Glenfellen. How
the young sailor had so soon got intelli-

HURLED INTO ETERNITY.
Struck by a Passing Train—Four Per
sons Drilled, an Infant Injured and one
only left to sell the Tale.
Lncax, Dec. 26.—James McGrath, his
wife Rebecca, a child thirteen months old,
Matthew McGrath and Annie, brother and
sister of James, and Ellen Blake, a cousin,
all living on the 7th concession of Bid- f
dulph, were returning from a visit to some F'
friends in McGillivray,. and as they were
crossing the London, Huron & Bruce rail-
way, one mile and a quarter north of Clan- 'r
deboye, were struck by the evening down,
train, and James, his wife and brother.1
Matthew and'the girl Ellen Blake were 4
instantly killed. The child is yet alive this
morning, and hopes are entertained of its re-,
covery. The girl Annie is the only one left to( c;
tell the tale. She was sitting in the sleight -
with her back to the horses, and when;:
nearing the track she- saw the head -light l
approaching and jumped from the .sleigh; i
just- in time to save herself, while all the! a
others were hurried into eternity in a mo-
ment of time.
The girl Annie `states that either th
horses became unmanageable- and rushe r'
on in front of the train, or otherwise th
driver, James, being deceived by the head. -I
