l mm 23 KILLED-A SI} Fatal Collision of Two Circus Trains on the Grand Trunk. A despatch from Durand, Mich., says: Wallace Bros.’ circus trains were Wrecked in the Grand Trunk yards here on Friday and 23 men, mostly employes of the circus, were killed. Twenty more were injured, some fatally. The show was travelâ€" ing in two sections over the Grand Trunk tracks from Lansing to Le.- peer, and the accident, it is said, was caused by the failure of the second section of the train to stop on time. The second crashed into the first at full speed. The engine of the second section and four cars of the first section were completely de- molished. Much valuable property was destroyed, and the loss to the circus people will probably be very heavy. Some of the victims were people attached to the train. These include Trainmaster J. McCarthy, of the Grand Trunk. Some of the aniâ€" mals were killed. AN APPALLING SCENE. The scene after the collission was appalling. The wreckage was strewn and piled high. The shrieks of ~the injured and the bellowing of the frightened animals could be heard above the hiss of the escaping steam and the excited shouts of the rescu- ers. It was some hours before the injured were rescued from the wreckâ€" ed cars. Some of them were in ter- rible agony, and it is thought that seven more will die. INJURED CARED FOR. A wrecking crew was on the scene in a very few minutes. All the phyâ€" sicians and trained nurses in town were sent for, and those in nearby places were rushed to the scene on handcars. The Hotel Richelieu was converted into a temporary hospital, and scores of volunteers with stretchers were in readi-ness,.,_,â€",.. The dead, many of them so terribly mangled that identification seemed impossible, were laid on the grass, a short distance from the scene. By six o‘clock a corps of twelve physi- cians Was at work. Four of them- jured died at the hospital before 8:30 o'clock. When the wrecking crews had finished, seventeen dead men 'L _____ __.__ _ _. NJU ‘ O were lying on removal to the morgue. performers were on the rear of the moving train and escaped injury. Wallace Bros. say that their loss will be heavy, but have given no estimate of it as yet. This is the second wreck that the Wallace shows have suffered within a month. OFFICIAL STA’I‘I‘LJ ICNT. The circus A (lcspatch from Montreal says: The C. ’I‘. R. management issues the folioWing ofllcial statement. of the accident:â€"â€" At 3.30 on Friday morn- ing a second section of Wallace's circus trains collided with rear end of firsbfscction just west of Durand, Mich., due to engineer I’robst. of the second, not having his engine under control coming into the yards. The Collission resulted in destroying the caboose of the first section and an old sleeping car which was occupied by tent and animal men belonging to the circus. It is reported that a number are killed and injured. Among the killed are Trainmaster J. W. McCarthy and Special Agent Large, of the Railway Company. and Assistant Special Agent Foley, load Foreman of Engines, J. Hazel, of the Railway Company, and Master of Transportation Thorpe, of the Circus Company, Who were also in the ca- boose, are among the injured. The circus was enroute from Charlotte to Lapeer, Mich., where they were to exhibit. BRAKES ,WOULD NOT WORK; Engineer Bropst, Fireman Colter, and Head Brakesnian Benedict, who was also an the engine of the second lsection, say that if the brakes had Iworked there would have been no |collision. Fireman Colter and Brakesâ€" man Benedict jumped, but Engineer Bropst remained at his post trying to get the brake to work until his train was within less than a hunâ€" dred feet of train No. 2, he then jumped. He was Shaken up, as was the fireman and brakesrman. None of the crew of either train was hurt. General Manager F. I-T. MoGuigan, of the Grand Trunk System, was on his way from Chicago to Montreal, and arrived at the scene on the pas- senger train-at 7 a.m. He immed- iately took charge of the work of clearing the track and caring for the injured and dead. TERRIBLE ACCIDENT. â€" People Killed and a Dozen Seriously Hurt. Nine A Philadelphia despatch says: Nine persons are dead, at least 12 are thought to be fatally injured, and fully 150 others hurt, some serious- ly, as the result of an accident on Saturday at the Philadelphia. Na- tional League baseball park. A board walk, which overhung the leftiield .bleachcrs fell to the street, carrying 200 spectators. The accident occurred while the Boston team was at bat in its half of the fourth inning of the second game. Over 10,000 persons had as- sembled to see a doubleâ€"header be- tween Philadelphia and Boston. The accident was indirectly due to a quarâ€" rel between two drunkcn men on the street. A crowd was attracted to the narrow walk over the bleachâ€" ers. The walk became crowded and without a moment’s warning two hundred feet of it fell to the sideâ€" walk below, carrying all who were on it. The rear made by the falling timber created a panic. The spec- tators on the bleachers rushed into the playing field. The ball players and. others tried to stop the mad rush, but they were SWept aside. Selleral persons were badly hurt in the Crush. ‘ A SCENE OF‘ HORROR. Outside the grounds the Scene was one of horror. Some of the injured were buried under the Wreckage. Others were lying in the gutters and dozens were stretched out in' li‘if- icenthâ€"strcet on the car tracks. Wil- ling hands cared for the injured, and all the houses in the vicinity were thrown open to the victims, while ambulances and wrecking cars from the street car barns were being hur- ried to the scene. One wrecking: car was quickly filled with helpless men and rushed to St. Joseph's Hospital, more than two miles away. Othch of the injured were quickly loaded inâ€" to Wagons and hurried to the So.- maritan. St. Mary‘s, the Jewish or St. Luke's Hospitals. hi the hospitals the injured were laid out in the hallways and every other available place, patients even giving up their beds. As soon as news of the accident spread, scores sought rrluiives and friends. Men pushed their way through the crowd, and frantic women appealed to the policr :‘or permission to enter the hospitals to find out 'wliether“ the person they were, interested in was there. The police. hem-yer, kept everybody back in order to give the hospital attendants an opportunity to Work. It is estimated that fully 100 persons were injured who went direct to their homes. of the walk after the. accident sliowrd many of the Wooden supports.‘ \vhich’ sextawa thise feet beyond the wall to be rot- ton. :ln examination Hamilton's Great Carnival and Reunion of Old Boys, Thousands are sure to attend the great Carnival and Reunion.

Most Magnificent Rite of the Cath- olic Church. A Home dcspaich says :--â€"The core- mony of the coronation of Pope Plus the Basilica of St. Peter's, in the pro- sonce of the princes and high digniâ€" taries of the church, diplomats and Roman nobles, and with all the solemnity and splendor associated with this, the most magnificent rite in the Roman Catholic Church. Those who had special invitations, including the high ecclesiastics who were not participating in the procesâ€" sion. the diplomats and Roman aris- tocracy, had a reserved entrance through the sacristy of St. Peter's. Prince Messino, accompanied by his daughter-inâ€"law, Princess Beatrice, the daughter of Don Carlos and Duke Robert of Parma, were the on- ly nvmbcrs of a royal fair:in to at- tend. Among the aristocracy there u'as‘a great mixture of those Roman nobles who remain faithful to the Papacy and those adhering to the Qin'rinal. Inside the Vatican Pal- ace there was no less movement and bustle as the Papal procession, com- posed of about 500 people, was formed. The Pope seemed to be the only tranquil one among them all. 'As Cardinal Macchi, the dean of the cardinal deacons, plared the triple trown on the head of the venâ€" erable Pontif‘i‘, the throng of seventy thousand persons gathered within the cathedral burst into unrestrained acclamations; the choir intoncd a hymn of triumph and the bells of Rome rang out a joyful peal. After the ceremony Pope Pius was quite overcome and had scarce- ly strength left to impart the aposâ€" tolic benediction. Cardinals Macchi and Sogni granted a. plenary indulâ€" gence to all present, and the pro- cession then reformed and left the Basilica in the same form as it came. The Pope was visibly fatigued, and his right hand shock as he raised it time after time to bestow his blessâ€" mg. When the rormnony was over all the exits to the, Basilica were open- ed, and within less than an hour the vast Cathedral was empty. ._‘+_____ ATTEMPTED SUICIDE. Prominent Newspaper Man Dundas Attempts Suicide. A despatch from Dundas says :â€" Alex F. Piric. editor of the ’Dundas Banner, who is well known all over of the Dominion, shot himself Satur- day evening about 9 o'clock. It is supposed that grief over his wife's death led him to make the attempt on his life. He had spent the even- ing with his cousin, Robinson Pirie, of the .W. E. Sanford Company, and '1‘. H. Begue. The three had sat chatting for seine lime. Mr. Begue went home and Robinson Pirie sug- gested a stroll. “Wait a minute till run upstairs," was his cousin’s reply to the suggestion. In a. few minutes Robinson Pirie was startled to hear a shot. He hurried upstairs to find his cousin stretched out on the floor with the blood streaming from a bullet hole in his temple. The wounded man had evidently placed the weapon close to his head, for the bullet went right through the brain. Robinson I’irie rushed for Dr. Ross. When they returned they found the injured man sitting up on the bed. He held a photograph of his dead wife in his hand and was looking fondly at it. In answer to questions, he made muttered replies, in which his wife's name was repeat- ed ovcr and over again, but he could give no connected account of what led him to shoot himself. Dr. Olmsted with Dr. Rees tempted to remove the bullet. did not succeed, although they re- lieved the pressure on the brain, and they say there is just a chance of his getting over it. Mr. Pixie is about 50 years of age. He has a family of four sons, three of whom are in Manitoba. â€"--â€"â€"â€"-~-9â€"â€"“ FATAL HAYFORK ACCIDENT.

Toronto, Aug. 11.â€"The export cat- tle trade was dull at the Western Market to-day, and sales were slow, and in most instances at lower prices than last week. The heavy deliveries of export catâ€" tle are causing a slight congestion thereof in the market, and hence buy- ers were not inclined to operate unâ€" less they could get their wants sup- plied on a. cheaper basis than prch vailed last week. So drovers did not quickly sell out, and a few loads remained unsold till the close of the day. There were a fairly large num- ber of exporters' of excellent quality offered, and as high as $5.15 was obâ€" tained for at least one load, by Crawford and Hunnisett, as may be seen by the list of transactions giv- on below. The butcher trade was quiet, and the quality of this class of cattle brought forward was not extra good, there being too many rough and in- ferior animals on sale for the dch mand. Consequently this class suf- fered most severely in the decline. There was a little enquiry for feedâ€" ers and stoclzers, and a few loads sold at current quotations. Values in thesl: are inclined to be easier in symâ€" pathy with the declines in the local export market. The values of sheep kept up well. and despite. the large deliveries all offered were sold. Spring lambs, however, sold considerably below last , week's prices. and the prospects that they will remain low. The run amounted to 81 cars, conâ€" taining 010 cattle, 12,303 Sheep, 1,- THU hogs, and (3-1 calves.

Ottawa Valley Mill Destroyedâ€" Men Killed and Injured. An Ottawa despwtch says :.â€"-A‘ ter. rific storm passed down the Ottawa. Valley on Thursday afternoon, carry- ing death and destruction in its train. At Deschenes, six miles west of Ottawa, 0. big lum'ber mill beâ€" longing to Fraser Bros. in just ap- proaching completion. It is one of the finest mills in Canada, and splen- didly equipped. On the east side was the engine and boilerâ€"house, a one and one-half storey brick build. ing. In this structure there were working when the storm broke, James Campbell, the 22â€"yearâ€"old son of exâ€"Ald. W. J. Campbell. and his helper, Joseph Valiquette. From the mill site straight across the river is a distance of three miles. The wind sweeping with tremendous force across the lake struck the front of the engincLhouse, carrying down the front wall, and burying Campbell and V'aliquctte under a. mass of bricks and mortar. The storm in its wild career struck the centre wall of the engineâ€"house, which fell on a lineman of the Hull Electric Co. named Joseph Chugg, who happened to be in the engine- room. The north end of the build- ing was also blown down, but the side walls were left standing. An alarm was immediately raised, and a crowd of Fraser's employes rushed over to the wreck. After half an hour‘s digging the three men were extricated, Campbell and Vali‘ quette being fearfully crushed. The injured were placed on an electric car, but oyoung Campbell expired just as the car was reaching Hull. The doctors say Valiquette will not live, but Chugg will recover. The accident created quite a gloom in the city, the Campbell family being well known. vâ€"â€"â€"+â€"â€" FOUR BOYS DROWNED. Capsizing of a Boat at St. George New Brunswick. A St. John, N.B., despatch saysr â€"Tho worst fatality of the year in New Brunswick happened at three o'clock on Saturday afternoon, when four youths lost their lives in the Mngagundavie River. about two miles below St. George, N.B. The dead are John Chambers, aged 20, and (loo. Phillips, aged 15, of St. George; Guy Henry, aged 19, and his brother, Gilbert. aged 12, of Caitliness, near St. George. A fifth boy, Charles Chaunbers.was saved. The boys borrowed a sailboat. and started for a cruise down the river. They did not know much about handling a boat, and were sailing along with the main and jib sheets tied down. A sudden squall caught them unprepared, and sent the boat kecling over, filling her with water. She righted again, but immediately sank, carrying four of them down with her. Challes was the only one who could swim. and he reached the bank. The father of the Henry boys saw the accident from the river bank. but was powerless to render assistance, as there was no boat in the vicinity. The bodies were my covered. _.__..5â€" â€"...
