Alexander and Colin McKiegan of StraUsroy were in the car wiUs Uem aI the timne of the acci- dent, and a lighîed coai ail lamp in Use car expladed when Use crash camne, senting fire ta Use car and bumning Use horses in a frightful manner. The poor brutes inhaled fire and much smoke and cannot live. The men escaped, Uey cannot tel] how, and succeeded in extinguishing tise tire. One of Use horses was a Usroughbred Clydeadale and Use other a thoraughbred carniage horse, "Doctor Lynn," Usat took second prize at Use World's Fair at Chicago. A large number of cars were derailed and ditched. Great credit is due John Campbell who lives near the scene of the accident who, with L. Gallagher, succeeded in res- cuing Use car load of horses by cutting openinga in Use roof of Use car and leading thero out. Fortunately no person was injured. The campany had men at work ail day and bad Use track clear about 7 o'clock last night.

The invitation ta outsiders is what built and put us in Use position we're in today - benefactors of a greaîly diverse country, enjaying one of Use highest standards of living in Use world. It's a place where people wiling- ly corne ta work and devote Usem- selves ta Use bettering of ail of soci- ety, and nat individual fragments of it. It's a land Usat truly is nicb in resaurces and in people. It's not Use newcamers who we sbould fear, but Usose who protest Useir arrivai. They represent Use decline of a nation built on warm welcomes.
