DISASTE R lEAR eBIMSBY Express Struck Sleigh at Crossing, Crush- ing Out Five Lives. A despatch from Qrimsby, Ont., Eys: Sp«cding through the vilUge the half dark of the early inoru- g, Grand Trunk express No. 8, ea&tboinul on Saturoay nioiDing crashed into a sleigh full of people Mturning froin a dance at Wmoua. Thre- persons were almost instant- ly killed, one died in a few minutes, •nother l&ter in Hamilton hospital, and two were injured. The dead are : Mr. and Mrs. Wil- liam Wilson, Mr. Oeorge Teeter and his wife, and Gordon Nelson. ilrs. Teeter lived only a few min- ntc3. The lives of threo were snuff- ed out instantly. INFANTS MIRACULOUS ES- CAPE. Miss Loltio Teeter, aged seven- teen, was badly shaken up, and is thought to be injured internally, though the doctors think she will with Nelson on the regular west- bound train at seven o'clock. PARTY WERE HEAVILY MUF- FLhD. The ill-fated rig was being driven back from Winena by William Wil- son, who was employed by J. W. Van Dyk«, and who, with his wife, was killed. The p*rty were heavily mufiSed 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 the survivors being recovor. Gordon Nelson was taken ' *« infant, there remains but Miss ' ~ Teeter to tell the story of the dis- aster. Grimsby, and, inde:'d, the whole vicinity, is filled with deep- est sorrow and consternatio/i over 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 fam- ily are left orphans. Four are at the home in Grimsby, and one in Hamilton, where he is undergoi g an operation. There is a watch- man stationed at this crossing dur- ing the day, but not at night. There are no gates at this point. %o Hamilton lionpital, where ha suc- cumbed later. The infant child of Mr, and Mrs. Teeter was with the party, and had a miraculous es- *apo, receiving only a few bruises. RUNNING AT HIGH SPEED. The accident happened right in Grimsby, just east of the station. The express does not stop here, and was running at high speed, •tated l.y some to be sixty miles an hour. Tho track is straight at this noint, but the station and the dwel- ling houso opposite may have hid- den the view of the approaching train from the driver of the sleigh. The engineer gave the customary warning whistles as he neared the crossing, th« train crew claim, but they were unheard or heard too late, for the locomotive struck the •leigh as it was almost square on the rails. DASHED AGAINST A SHANTY. The terrified cry from those who •aw the train at the last moment bad not died away before the sleigh tras dashed against th« 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 snccumb •oon after. Both horses were in- •tantly killed. The occupants of the sleigh were not thrown very far on account of the presence of the •hanty, being simply jolted out. PICKED UP THE DEAD. The express was at once stopped, and kindly hands carried the dead and injured into tho station build- ing, close by. Dr. Morri^ and Dr. Smith were soon on the scene, and did what they could for those who ♦rere suffering. A trained nurse who was on her way to New York gave most timely aid to Miss Teet- er.

IIB ESCiPESTHE eillOWS London Murderer Will Spend His Life in Insane isylum. A despatch from London, Ont., says : Pte. Moir, who shot and kill- ed Sergt. Lloyd in the Wolseley Barracks hero, was on Thursday afternoon acquitted of murder, af- ter 13 minutes' deliberation by the jury, on tlie ground of insanity. Ho will be sent to the insane asylum at Hamilton. Four doctors. Dr. W. J. Robin- son, superintendent of tho London Asylum ; Dr. C. K. Clark, head of 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, jemi-conscious con- dition and knew absolutely nothing ot what was taking place. It was in a fairly i sonable manner anl still know nothing of what he was doing. Counsel agreed to dispenii's with addresses and Sir William Meredith summed up briefly, pointioa out that the evidence went all one way to indicate Moir's irresponsibility. "You could have reached no other verdict," he said, when tho Jury returned it. Under the verdict tht prisoner will be kept in close coo- fiaement till the pleasure cf th« Crown is known, which means jrac- tically he will be confined in an asylum for life. This trial shows the public are in danger from epi- leptics such as the unfortuuate i>ri- soner. Such people may go around without having knowledge of their condition and their homicidal mania quite possible that Moir might act may develop at any time. No. 1 Northern, Winter, steady.

Deputy Minister James in his re- marks pi>iiiU>d out that dairying proved the most difliciilt problem in manufacture. lu this connection he instanced the various stages of the industry, from the cultivation ot the soil, through plant production, to the animate life of a cow, whose milk-prnduciug qualities d<>pendcd on the former conditions. It was a complicated business, dpinandiag the highest intelligence. He urged irhe ch'aring of sv^'ainp lands, the telection of the best seed, the weed- ing out ot old cows, which were merely pensioners on tho farms, a proper study of the feeding quet- iion, and the erection ot well-equip- ped factories. These things would ftake dairying a wonderfully rich usineai, with the market of the world open to Canadians. REVIEW OF THE INDUSTRY. .

SIBERIA'S BUTTKR. An address by J. A. Riiddick, Cold Storage Commissioner of the I Dominion, on "Dairy Industry j f roin the Canadian Standpoint," i formed one of the cloning features 'of the convention. The Siberian e.vport of butter, he said, was now second in volume to tho Danish, and threatened to enter into seri- ous competition with the Canadian trade. Tho new trans-Siberian railway had opened up an enorm- ous dairying territory, where peo- ple lived in primitive surroundings and where butter could be produc- ed at a rate ruinous to Canadian industry, in which there was much higher scale of living. The chief hope ot Canadians lay in bringing to dairy operations the advantages ot science, the result of a mure ad- vanced civilization.

When the heavily-laden morning passenger train which leaves here at 10.40 was in the vicinity of Gou- rock tho rear coach left the track, due to a broken tire, and went in- to the ditch. The coach overturn- ed, and a scene of terrible confu- sion ensued amongst the passen- gers, among whom were several Quelphites, the members ot the Brantford professional hockey team which played here on Wednesday night, and the Hamilton Thistles curling team, going home from the Fergus bonspiel.
