HE .ENGINEE Swears That Train Was Travelling at Rate of Less Than 20 Miles. ‘A dcspatch from Toronto says: There Is every indication that the investiga- tion into the cause of the (Ialedon dis- aster is to be a very thorough one. The principal evidence was that addrrccd by Engineer Hodge, who was driving the train. Mr. T. C. Roliinette, K. C., appeared on behalf of Engineer; Mr. Angus Mc- Murchy represented the C. I’. R., and Ccumy Crown Attorney McFadden, of Peel, appeared on behalf of the Crown. Tl IE ENGINEERS STORY. George Hodge, the engineer of the .‘II- fated train, was called, and immediate- ty he got on the stand his counsel, Mr. fie-binette, K. C.. had entered a fornral objection to Hodge giving evidence, to as to obtain the protection of the court concerning anything which he might say to incriminate himself. "I think,” said the coroner, “it would be, well to allow the witness to give rris evidence in this way, that if he objects to answer a question because it might incriminate him, then he has the pro- tection which he craves. That answer could not be used against him.” “At the same time," remarked the ceroner to Hodge. “you are not excus- ed from answering any question which may be asked you here." "I am quite satisfied with that," Mr. Itobinette replied. The examination of Hodge was then proceeded with. He deposedzâ€""I left Markdale at 7.34, and had a good run to Orangeville, which we reached at 8.55. There were three cars added there and we left between 0.05 a.rm. and 0.00 a.m. We reached Calcdon at 0.20, and rr-ceived an order to run one hour late of the original schedule. We left Calc- oon at 9.21, and before reaching the curve, and about 150 yards from the slow board, I slowed down and shut off steam. I applied the brakes about a quarter of a mile from where the ac- cident occurred, and I felt the brake held. This made a reduction of 7 tbs. \VOLVES' TORE BOY’S ARM. Menagerie. A despatch from Winnipeg says: Walter Brewer, a lad of 9 years of age, met with a painful injury on Tuesday afternoon at River Park by having one of his arms nearly torn to shreds by wolves that are in the menagerie there. The little fellow was feeding one of the animals some grass through the wires, and in taking the grass a wolf took the boy’s thumb into his mouth and bit it so that it made the blood flow. This gave the beast a taste of blood and made it savage for more. Three or four other wolves which were in the enclosure at- tacked the boy's arm, and before aid could be summoned they had terribly lacerated it. A man came to the relief and beat the wolves off. The boy was sent to St. Boniface Hospital. The doc- tors fear that the arm will have to be amputated. ____..x._.___ G. T. P. CONSTRUCTION. Report Shows Good Progress In Various Sections.

S. Territory They Make for Canada. A despatch from Vancouver, B. C., says: Six Hindus, badly beaten and maltreated by a mob, are in the hospital at Reliingham. Washington; 400 are finding sanctuary in the jail and public buildings, and 150 beaten, hungry and half naked, are. on their way to British Columbia. These are the results of a savage outbreak of local sentiment in the [Suited States town on Wednesday even- in r. The trouble started in the Polly Street district, which is filled with Hindustani lodging houses. These houses were cleaned out, and the occupants driven out of the town. From there the mob swept. down to the waterfront and the lumber mill. After the lumber mill was visited the white employees swelled the mob, and every black man was hustled outside. [tore the police suggested that the unfortunates should be taken to jail. The proposal was hailed with delight, and the Hindus were hustled along. The mob kept up its work till early morning, when Darson's mill at Whatoom Lake was visited and hundreds of llindrrs brought in from there. The police were helpless, authority was paralyzed, and for five hours a mob of white men raided the mills where the blacks were work- ing and battered down the doors of the lodging houses where they sought shel- ts'r and dragged them from their beds. Mayor Black has organized fifty armed deputies for the protection of the Hindus, and those of them who return'5 1) work will do so armed. Tire explana- tion given of the affair is that every day. the whites in mills are being replru-etli by blacks. u is said that the Hindus-l have become insolent, pushingr women? into the, gutter and insulting them on the“. street car-s. ’ “Drive out the Hindus l" was the cry to which the mob marched on Wedncrv (lay night.

A despatch from Ottawa says: There- are eighteen Chinese in custody in Sydâ€" ney who are providing a puzzle for the- chief controller of Chinese immigration in Ottawa, and who seem to have hit. upon a flaw in the fabric of Canadian law. The Chinese canre ashore from the- sclrooner Colorus, which brought them, from Newfoundland. The captain al-' leged that they escaped. They were seized by the customs officials as smug-- gled goods. and are now in jail. The law provides that the Chinese who enter Canada irregularly may be placed in jail for a year. but. it makes no further- provision regarding them. No authority is given to deport. IL is not considered“ good policy to keep eighteen Chinese in jail ior a year and then give them their liberty, wilhorrt even the payment of the $500 entrance fee. A year in jail is. hardly considered a qualification for permanent Canadian residence. The only thing apparently that can be done is to keep the Chinese until a law may he passed next session for their deportau tron, and then send them back. .5‘ I’ll’TIiEN BI'RNED TO DEATH.
