A despatch from Gi-imsby, Ont., shanty. being simply hiked (“lt- says: Speeding through the village in the half dark of the early mornâ€" ing, Grand Trunk express No. 8, eastbound on Saturday morning crashed into a sleigh full of people returning from a dance at Winona. Three persons were almost instantâ€" ly killed. one died in a few minutes, another later in Hamilton hospital, and two were injured. The dead are: Mr. and Mrs. Wil- liam Wilson. Mr. George Teeter and his wife. and Gordon Nelson. Mrs. Teeter lived only a few min- utes. The lives of three were snuff- ed out instantly. INFANT’S MIRACULOUS ESâ€" CAPE. Miss Lottie Teeter. aged sevenâ€" teen, was badly shaken up, and is thought to be injured internally, though the doctors think she will recover. Gordon Nelson was taken to Hamilton hospital, where he suc- cumbed later. The infant child of Mr. and Mrs. Teeter was with the, party, and had a miraculous es- cape, receiving only a few bruises. RUNNING AT HIGH SI’EED. The accident happened right in Grimsby, just east; of the station. The express does not stop here, and was running at high speed, stated by some to be sixty miles an hour. The track is straight at this point, but the station and the dwel- ing-house opposite may have hid- den the view of the approaching rain from the driver of the sleigh. he engineer gave the customary warning whistles as he neared the crossing, the train crew claim, but they were unheard or heard too late, for the locomotive struck the ileigh as it was almost square on the rails. DASHED AGAINST A SHANTY. The terrified _ ‘; "“W'ho saw the train at the Tast’muquEZ had not died away before the sleigh was dashed against the watch- man‘s shanty and demolished. In the twinkling of an eye three of the party were crushed to death, and a fourth so injured as to succumb soon after. Both horses were in- stantly killed. The occupants of the sleigh were not thrown very far on account of the presence of the iiii iiiiiisnI are no gates at this point. PICKED UP THE DEAD. The express was at once stopped. -. and kindly hands carried the dead, and injured into the station build‘ ing. close by. Dr. Morris and Dr. Smith were soon on the scene. :indi did what they could for those whof were suffering. A trained nurse, who was on her. way to New York} gave most timely aid to Miss Teetâ€" er. Dr. Morris went to Hamilton with Nelson on the regular west- bound train at seven o’clock. PARTY WERE HEAVILY MUFâ€" FLED. The ill-fated rig was being driven back from Winona by William Wilâ€" son, who was employed by.J. .W. Van Dyke. and who, with his Wife. was killed. The party were heaVily muffled up to protect themselves from the frosty air, and this seems to be the only reason why the nOise of the oncoming train was not heard . No doubt it was heard. but too late for the team to drag the sleigh from its grip on the steel rails. SEVEN IN THE SLEIGH. The five persons killed and the two injured composed the entire party, there being but seven in the sleigh. One of th-L" “on being an infant, there remmiit Miss Teeter to tell the story of the disâ€" aster. Grimsby, and. indeed. the whole vicinity, is filled with deep- est sorrow and consternation overl the terrible event. One child of Mr. and Mrs. Teeter survives, in addition to the baby girl who was with the party, and ,escaped with slight bruises. WILSONS LEAVE FIVE CHIL- DREN. Five children of the Wilson fainâ€" ily are left orphans. Four are at, Lch home in Grimsby. and one in' Hamilton, where he is undergoing an operation. There is a wateh~ man stationed at this crossing dur- ing the day. but not at night. Thcrei bx. Mr. J. Lorne McDougall. cxâ€"Au-l ditorâ€"General, died at Ottawa,,onj Friday. ' A. DOMPAUATEB BUS NESS Success of Dairying Depends on the Farmers’ Intelligence. A despatch from Brantford saysn The forty-seventh annual conven-l tion of the Western Ontario Dairy- men’s Association was held in this, city on Wednesday, and proved thel most successful gathering in the history of the association. President Creclman of the Ontario Agricul- tural College. and Deputy Ministcrl of Agriculture C. C. James deliv-l cred addresses, in which was urged closer study and application to soil' cultivation, which was the basic, element to success in the dairying‘ trade. Increased earnings as a re- sult of tiledraincd fields. said Mr. Crcelnian. paid for the expenditure in three years, aCCording to prac- tical experiences. He also adduc~ ed statistics to show the increase in productivity from propore varia- tion of crops. Deputy Minister James in his re-. marks pointed out that dairying proved the most difficult problem in manufacture. In this connection he. insianccd the various stages of iliel industry. from the cultivation ofi the soil. throuin plant productionJ to the animate life of a cow. whose milk-producing qualities depended, on the former conditions. It was, a complicated business, demanding- the highest intelligence. He urged the clearing of swamp lands. the! selection of the best seed. the weedâ€" ing out of old cows. which were merely pensioners on the farms, a proper study of the feeding ques- tion. and the erection of wellâ€"equip ‘ ped factories. These things would make duii‘ying a wonderfully rich l‘ll-‘HWSF. with the market of the World opt-n to Canadians. 1 RIA‘IICW OF THE INDI'RTRY.

Lloyd in Barracks here. was on Thursday afternoon acquitted of murder. af- ter 15 minutes’ deliberation by the jury. on the ground of insanity. He will be sent to the insane asylum at Hamilton. Four doctors. Dr. W. J. Robin-- son, superintendent of the London Asylum; Dr. C. K. Clark, head ofI the Toronto Asylum; Dr. Bruce Smith, inspector of asylums. and Dr. A. J. Johnson, of Toronto, tes- tified, and all agreed, that Moir was an epileptic, and that when the murder was committed he was in a befogged, semiâ€"conscious con- dition and knew absolutely nothing of what was taking place. It was quite possible that Moir might act the Wolsclcy‘ in a fairly reasonable manner anf still know nothing of what he was doing. (Youiisel agreed to dispense with addresses and Sir William Mcrcdi'h summed up briefly. pointing, out. that the evidence went all one way ito indicate Moir's irresponsibility. “You could have reached no other verdict,” he said, when the jury returncd it. Under the verdict the prisoner will be kept in close ron~ finement till the pleasure (f the Crown is known. which means [.rac- ,tically he will be. confined in an asylum for life. This trial shows the public are. in danger from epiâ€" leptics such as the unfortuan pri- soner.
