TRAINS UBLLHIE IN F01} A despatch from Toronto says: The construction of certain viaducts on the Tumtskaming & Northern Ontario Rail- way has been delayed owing to the lack of steel. One of these \‘iaduchs is at. -Wabi and another at Waypeabeug. A Ilevcre rainstorm caused a landslide at Taylor’s Creek. south of Englehnrt, last week. The scarcity of labor, too, has kept. work back. Mon can receive excel- ‘lent wages working in the mines and with prospecting parties. The recent miners’ strike has not improved the la- l‘or’situ‘ation any, since any kind of ,iabor commanded high pay at the mines. Twenty-Five People Killed on the Quebec Express.

The cause of the accident, according to a stalemcnt given out by the rail- road officials here‘ was the misunderâ€" standing of orders sent to the, crew of the freight. An original order had been issued giving this freight it clear right oi way north out. of Canaan, but this order was rescinded by a second one, which called tor the height. taking a siding at Canaan and a110wing the passenger train the right of way. In some unexplained manner the orders were confused, tho freight, crew gelling the first one and golng on through Canaan. while the passenger train got a clearance from White River Juncli-rm, VL, on the north.

Her passengers lined the railings and crowded the different decks of the large vessel, waving handkerchiots and American and British flags.

A despatch from Niagara Falls, Ont., says: Harvey llill, foreman of the muni- cxpal electric light giant. came to his death on Saturday Might in an unac- countable manner and under particular- ly sad circumstances. He had taken his wife and three children for a drive, and coming to one of the pole boxes on Ferry Street, in the south end of the city. he saw that the light was out. He alvgtilcd to adjust it, and as he raised his hand to the pole, his wife and chil- dren were startled to see him full, and, on going to his assistance, they were horror-stricken to find him stone dead. There were no marks of electrical burn- ing; on the body, and it is possible that his death was due to heart failure, but ths generally accepted supposition is that some high voltage wire had come in contact with the incandescent light, wire, giving it. a. voltage sufficient to cause death.
