'TWO Cases of Infantile Paralysis Has Invaded This Country. SIX KILLED, TEN INJURED Wreck Horror on the Grand Trunk Rail- - " way in Michigan. ' VA despatch from Durand, Mich., says: Six dead, seven seriously in- jured, and three slightly is given out here on Thursday night by the Grand Trunk Railway Company as the official casuality list resulting from Wednesday night’s rear-end collision between two eastâ€"bound trains. The dead :â€" Mrs. Squi‘res’ residence is thought to be Chica- go, but this is uncertain. Master Squires, the ten-year-old son of Mrs. Squires, was crushed and burned. Mrs. Alma Woodward, en route from Chicago to Port Huron, Mich., was badly burned about the body, but her hair was scarcely touched. A nurse, name unknown, from St. John’s Hospital, Chicago, acoompanying Mrs. Woodward, was burned to a charred mass. Mr. James McB-ean of Chicago was also burned to a crisp, and Mrs. E. Gil- pin of 25 East 46th place, Chicago, was scalded and burned. The Season’s Output Sold to Luck- now Buyer. A despatch from Simcoe says: Perhaps the most important deal in apples made in the Dominion this season was closed at Simcoe on Thursday last, when Mr. J. E. Johnson, manager of the Norfolk Fruit-growers’ Association, closed out their season’s pack, 30,000 bar- rels, to Mr. J. G. Anderson of Luckn‘fiw. One matter of great sigâ€" nificance in connection with this deal is the fact. that up to about six years ago the county of Nor- folk was practically unknown as an apple-growing district; when Mr. Johnson appeared on the scene, and with the co-operative organization of the Growers, the membership of which is 355, took up the work of good orchard management, and brought it to such perfection in these few short years that the eyes of the entire apple-purchasing World are now turned on Norfolk county. NEW DISEASE IN CANADA Crippen Was Rooted on Arrival at Euston Station. A despatch from London says: Dr. H. H. Crippen and Miss Leâ€" neve were given a, hostile reception by a. mob on their arrival at Eus- ton Station on Saturday. evening. Crippen, who is on the verge of a nervous collapse, is being close 1y guarded. He slept little toward the end of the voyage over. He had many books, but read few of them. He talked little, but mutâ€" ter-ed to himself. Extra guards were plaoed over him during the last two nights of the ocean trip. Unseen by the passengers, the pris- oner walked the top deck in the early morning and in the evening handcuffed tgrlnspect'ors Dew and Mitchell. Cr1ppen had no commuâ€" nication with Miss Leneve, who went on deck in the evening with her wardresses. Miss Leneve was cheerful and talked freely to the wardresses. Inspector Dew fool- ed the waiting crowd at Liverpool, landing at the landing-stage aft, and taking his charges at once into the train for London. The injured are :â€"Mrs. F. S. Mc- Bean, Chicago, right leg fractured, taken to Flint Hospital; Albert B. Watts, Edmonton, Alta, face and hands blistered badly, but con- dition not serious; removed to Flint Hospital. Clinton A.

Donaldson of Battle Creek, fireman on No. 4, probably fatally scalded, now under care of physicians at Durand.

To Assistant Superintendent Fitzhugh at Montreal the Durand oflicials wired that there were nineteen pas- sengers in the Nebraska, of whom six were'killed and the remains identified. Five injured are in the hospital at Durand, one of whom is likely to die. Eight passengers con- tinued their journey to their des- tinations, having escaped from the forward end of the car uninjured. Engineer Mitchell of train No. 14 is in Flint hospital seriously in- jured, but will recover. The fire- man on No. 4 is badly but not seri‘ ously burnt. Aside from the loss of the car by fire, the damage to the equipment will be slight.

R. bonded cars and stealing goods therefrom. The police believe from the appar~ ently systematic manner in which the thefts were carried on that old- er people are behind the lads. His Claim to Divine Right Strong- ly Criticised. A despatch from Berlin says: The speech delivered on Thursday night by Emperor William at the Provincial banquet at Koenigs- burg, and in which he reiterated and emphasized his belief in the Divine mandate by which he rules, referred to the Prussian Crown as bestowed by God’s grace and not by Parliaments or people’s assem- blies, and laid a lance against the present movement for woman sufâ€" frage, is the political sensation of the hour. The leading organs of the German press devote extended comments to it, generally criticiz- ing the Emperor’s utterances, and there are indications that the dis- course will have a deep political effect upon the country.
