So far as is known at present the special was barely moving, being just about to enter the switch at Azilda. Latest reports indicate that no person in the Limited was injured, though it is said the fireman was bruised by jumping from the cab. Almost every passenger seen unhesitatingly said that. the speed of their train had been checked considerably before the crash came. The grinding oi the air- brakcs on the wheels was distinctly audible, though it is said these did not work as they should have done. HARROWING SCENES DESCRIBED The deseription of the scenes subseâ€" quent to the collision are harrowing in the extreme. In the downpour of rain the work of rescue was immediately commenced. Passengers and neighbor- ing farmers .nohly assisted the train new in their duty. The injured and dead arrived in Sudburv at ahoutnoon, and their removal from the cars afford- eo one of the most mourntul spectacles in the whole history of the town. baggage or had been shaken up so that they did not care to continue the west- ern trip.

R. at Azilda. near Sudbury, according to reports given by passen- gers who were in the speedy Imperial Limited at the time it crushed into the harvesters’ Special, and passengers who were in the hitter also. A number of these passengers arrived in Toronto from North Bay by Grand Trunk, on Thursday, and their hurried descriptions convey an idea of the magnitude of the iiisilster in which fourteen lives were 05 .

The train going west had halted two car lengths from the east end of the switch, which is 2,500 feet long. The train going east was to stop four car lengths from the westbound train to allow the latter to enter the siding. The east- bound train was not going fast, and Engineer Thurlow put on his air brakes, but, owing to a closed angle-cock only the engine. refrigerator and mail cars responded, and the trains telescoped.” General Superintendent Brady of the Lake Superior division has issued the following official statement:â€" “I'was over the ground and I know September Report at U.

The heroic spirit of the Canadian people was maniâ€" fest. Scores of heroes rushed to the rescue. Men who will simply have the satisfaction of knowing that they had responded to the call of duty, and who can get no further recognition by rea- son of the fact that no one knows their names, risked their lives to save the guests. Many were injured in endeavoringtn escape from the burning building. Mr. Arch. Blue, Census Commissioner, and his tamity, had a narrow escape. They had to ,use the ladders, and Mrs. Blue fell for some distance, and had her left from burns. A Torontonian named George 3 gomery jumped from the second st and was picked up with a frac thigh and a severe scalp wound. was taken to St. Luke’s Hospital shou from A despateh from Ottawa says: The Gilmour Hotel on Bank Street was gut- ted in less than an hour on Friday night. The fire was of the fiercest de- scription and it spread through the great hostelry with lightning rapidity. The Gilmour has since its erection about ten years ago been essentially a family hotel. Many of the best people in Ot- tawa have been domiciled there from time to time. This week, however. the hotel was crowded from cellar to at- tic with strangers attending the fair. The building is a five-storey one. The lessee of the hotel was a French-Cana- dian, Edward Babin. A few minutes after eleven the guests who were in the rotunda of the hotel suddenly noticed smoke emerging from the elevator shaft, and then there came a rush of flame up the shaft and also into the olticc. At once the alarm was given; Em. ployes ran through the house to awaken the guests who had retired. The difll- culty was to reach those on the upper floors, as the main stairway wound round the elevator. The fire depart- ment was speedin on the spot, but it was at once apparent that the hotel was doomed. The firemen had for the mo- ment to abandon their dtities. as the‘ saving of life was the first considera- ion. Many People In mp Receive hunger as exists in Russia proper. The plague of Siberia is the onicial high- wayman, who in every station from the lowest to the highest, is a corrupt and dishonest petty tyrant to his subordin- ates, and the people generally. The Si- berian peasants are not against the Em- peror. They make a distinction between the Emperor and the Government. The former: they consider their saviour,the latter their curse. The dissolution of the Duma through the reports dinned into the peasantry by the clergy and police. which made it appear that. the assembly refused to co-operate with the Emperor, created little sorrow among the Mujiks. A despatch from Krassnoyarsk, West- ern Siberia, says: Conditions here are becoming unbearable. There is terrible corruption and depravicy among those in authority which make the people an easy prey of the agitators. The peas- antry are an ignorant, lot, easily amen- able to good or bad inttuences, but all the advice which they get now is in the direction of lawlessness and crime. Murders and robbery in the country and in the cities are daily, almost hour- ly Occurrences. The streets in Krassno- yarsk are unsafe after dark. Meetings are held daily in the woods surround- ing the city. The principal agitators are Jews, but they are too clever to be caught. The railroad employees are re- volutionary to a man, but remembering the awful repressions of General Atelier- Zakometsky, who cleared up the Siber- ian strike last {all with a ruthlessness that. is almost incredible, they are afraid of the initiative.
