Schroeder had taken train No. 11 at Elmira fifteen minutes before. It was a. few minutes late. The stretch of track from Elmira to Corning is fitted for fast running, and he was sending his train along at the rate of 65 miles an hour. No. 9 was sup- posed to be half an hour ahead of him. He never had any warning until he made but the outline of the rear comb of No. 9 through the fog that was crawling up the mountain from. thdri‘ver far zhelowv He 'saw the" lights ,ahoad "andgthrew on the rr'eve'i'sefw'ithout shutting off; the: steam.

There was no flag out, according to Engineer Schroe- der. The signals, which he~ de- clared it was too foggy to see, were ‘juvgt, _aroupd trhercurve. The wreck was the worst. in the history of the road. Its cause, ac- cording to Engineer Schroeder of the express, was his failure to see the signals set against. his train. The morning was a, foggy one. and he said he could not make them out.

A_ despatch from Toronto says: Traflic is still increasing steadily on the T. and N. 0. Railway, although heavier operating charges keep net earnings from gaining much on last year’s figures. The gross earnings for April amounted to $142,525, compared with $118,181 in May, 1911. Operating charges increased from $78,000 to $107.000, leaving a net revenue of $50,869. In April, 1911, the net earnings for the month was $40,467. From the beginning of the financial year on Nov. 1 to the end of April net earnings amounted to $278,000, compared with $272,000 for the corresponding period last year. ‘A‘ considerable portion of the road’s earning rev- enue this year iii-«represented by ore royalties, the total being $71,- 900, compared with only $12,391 for the corresponding period of 19104 1911.

A despatch from Sault Ste. Marie, Ont., says: For the first ‘time in the history of navigation the freight traffic through the Sault canals for a single month has pass- ed the 10,000,000-ton mark, the re- cord having been made in June, the statistical report for which has just been issued by Superintendent Sa- bin. Although the prediction that the freight movement would total 11,000,000 tons for the month proved a little high, it was close, the exact figures being 10,747,159 tons. .The next largest month was July, 1910, when the traffic totalled 8,975,173 tons. In June, 1911, the freight ytraflic amounted to 7,476,097 tons. It is interesting to note that the amount of freight to pass the canals last month equaled that for the entire season of 1893-,rand'i's equal to the full amount passing through the canals for the first quarter of a. century after the canal here was first opened. The passenger trade shows considerable falling off in comparison with the record of last year, the » decrease being 2,324 to date.
