They left Mont- real .at'9 a.m., with other members of the Canadian Press Association, on the fast express for Toronto, all bay- ing just completed the excursion 'of the Association and being homeward bound. The train was full of tourists, and Mr. and Mrs. Holmes happened to be in the coach nearest the engine. The train had been running for an how' at the rate of a mile a minute, when there was a perceptible explosion of a dynamite cartridge, followed by the grating of fgt.-brakes, and in a mo- ment a collision followed, throwing everybody out of their seats, and caus- ing a 'momentary panic as the car left the rails and rail a short distance on the ties. It was soon found' that the engine had run into Some cars, smash- ing and partly capsizing the engine, and throwing the baggage and first coach off the track which fortunately, did not turn over though just on the edge of the enbankment The driver and firemen bravely stuck to their posts in the face of what seemed in- stant death yet; singular to say, not a solitary person on the train was injur- ed, beyond being shook up. Tbe pas- sengers were so delighted at their es- cape that they took up a collection amounting to nearly $50 for the driver, and 520 for the firernan. The former refused the money, saying he was not allowed to accept any under the cir- cumstances, andthe dopers simply turned his head away forcibly, and poured it into his pocket. The acci- dent was caused by three cars break- ing away from a freight train, and when discovered a man was sent back to warn the oncoming train, which he did by putting the cartridges on the rail, but the speed of the train, wet rails, and the cars being round a curve prevented them being seen in time to prevent the accident. A delay of four hours was all the inconvenience exper- ienced by the passengers, but the loss to the railway company .will be COD.. siderable.

TERRIBLE COLLISION. -Woodstock Sept. 10.—A wreck o • warred on the main line of the G.T.R. early this morning, which was attend- ed with three fatalities and the loss of thousands of dollars worth of property. Te accident happened about a mile and a half east- of Princeton station. There were ti ree trains in the wreck. The dead are: --Conductor Harmor, of Toronto; Engineer Fred. Denning, of Sarnia, Firernan Rennie, of Sarnia. Freight train No. 319,in charge of Con- cluct-oe Rich, passed Princeton station at 12,29 last night. She had through running orders. A few moments la tee a train of empty passenger coaches in charge of Conductor Harmon, of To- ronto, came in, and was sent after the freight at what WKS considered a safe distance. Following the passenger train, and anticipated by a danger signal on the rear car of the second train, came a through freight from Chicago. The train was in charge of Conductor Low, and in the engine were Fred. Denning, of Sarnia anclt Fireman Rennie, also of Sarnia. The trains had safely passed the station and the semaphores had been dropped - after, them, when the me11 on the first train made the discovery that one of , the boxes were burning. The brakes were applied and the train was stop- ped. The passenger train coming be- hind was signalled, and the engineer brought his train to a standstill a few yards from the caboose of the freight ahead. Anticipating some delay,Con- duetor Harmomof the pasSeriget train, knowing that he was being followed by the through freight,decided to back up, and signalled, Engineer Denning, of the through freightsseems,however, to have been unaware of the passenger train ahead of hitn, for he came on at , full speed. The result was a terrific collision. The engine of the freight completely telescoped three of the pas- senger coaches, dragging four freight cars after it. The engine landed on the: south side of the track, and the tender was thrown off on the other side. Al- most immediately after the collision took place the steam pipes burst and ` the -fire box of the engine was shatter- ed, scattering burning coals over the wreck. 10 an in§tant the mass of bat- tered wood and twisted iron was lost in flames. The two rearpassenger coaches over which the engine of the freight had bound.ed took fire first, and the flames were fed by the four freight pars, which were piled up by - the force Of ' the impact. Engineer Denning and Conductor Harmon were, caught in the wreckage and burned to death. Fireman Rennie was also caught before he could get 'clear ofthe,, wreck. He jumped, but was down beneath the shattered freight cars which- eame over the tender.' When released he was unconscious and." terriblrinjarecl, and be expired a few minutes afterwards. Brakeman B. Oliver was injure'd about the head and' Brakeman R. Peacock's right leg was broken above the ankle and had to be ' amputated. Conductor Harmon Wa,s for many years a resident of Windsor.' He was a man of fine physique, good' hearted and very popular. He was 34, year of age and unmarried. His fun- eral will be held at Bothwell,where his father and mother are buried. He left three brothers--Johthof Windsor, Pet- - er, of Chicago, and Edward of Pitts- burg. BIRTHS. MARTIN.—On Sunday Sept. lst, to 3.41r. and Mrs. W. Martin, a son.
