Editor of.The News -Record, Sire -This is my experience and that of a number of others with the Grand Trunk on Monday of lent week": We left Clinton by the morning train and when we arrived at Seatorth wo found there had been a wreck at Dublin, of the morning .ireight, ditch- ing three cars and derailing tvvo wheels ,of the,, truck Of the fourth. It geeing a long train the engineer was not aware that he had lost part of it until real:tins Seaforth. And the two wheels that left the rail cut all the bolts fastening the Ash plates And broke the spikes that fasten the rail to the ties, making the road int - Passable for six miles. Now came • the question as to what must be done. One passenger must be in Tor- onto at 3. p, rn,., otherwise it was useless , for hini :to go. Others would miss connections and would not reach destination until next day. What was tee be done? Would the order come to back up to Clinton and go by Lon- don to Stratford (which would per- haps only cause a delay ot tvvo hours. Or would we be transferredby teams to Dublin, as his Magesty'e mail must not be delayed. But no orders oame. , The conductor conclud- ed to follow up the men who rwere Axing the track and by twelve Wet- ock we were nearly two miles from Seaforth. Now most of us (there be- ing about thirty or perhaps forty) felt the need ot.dinner end we inter- viewed Mr. Conductor as to the advie • pability of backing to Seaforth for refreshments, agreeing to pay our own way. But 'ho feared •some might hill the . Company, and after being' entreated by so many he finally hid himself in the baggage car and was seen 110 More Until we reached Dublin at 5.35. I 'might say that sante of the male passengers got refreshed at farm houses, but this was anything but .pleasant as they were far from the read and it rained steadily all day.
