FTTTlfn llJLLIilJ And fifty Were Injured in Passenger Train Wreck Near Corning, N. Y. A despatch from Corning, N.Y., laya : Westbound Lackawanna pas- senger train No. 9, from New York, du to arrive at Corning at 4.47 a.m., composed of two engines, a baggage car, three Pullmans and two day coached, in the order named, was demolished at Gibson, throe miles east of Corning at 5.25 o'clock on Thurday morning by express train No. 11, due at Corn- ing at 5.10 a.m. Forty -one persons were killed and between fifty and sixty injured. Many of the victims were holiday excursionists bound to Niagara Falls, who had boarded the train at points along the Lack a wan na from Hoboken to Buffalo. 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 hn said he could not make them out. The wrecked train stood on the main track blocked by a crippled freight train. There was no flag out, according to Engineer Schroe- der. The signals, which he de- clared it was too foggy to see, were just around the curve. Schroeder had taken train No. 11 at Elmira fifteen minutes before. It wa a f-w minutes late. The stretch of track from Klmira to 'Corning is !.'<<! 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 hu made out the outline of the rear coach of No. 9 through the fog that was crawling up thn mountain from the river far below. He saw thn lights ahead and threw on thn reverse without shutting off the steam. The jerk threw the train off the track, and the locomotive plunged on a few rods further to splinter the two day coaches filled with excur- sionist* and tar through the last of tho Pullmans. Schroeder said that tho impact was so great that it threw him from the cab and land- ed him on his shoulder on the road bed, practically unhurt. The 100-ton monster continued its plunge through the middle of the train, grinding everything in its path. It seemed as if it would cut through every car. Then when it was finally blocked by a mountain of debris piled in front of it, it re- mained on the roadbed in the midst of the desolation ita plunge had created, while thousands of person rushed in every kind of vehicle tc the 'in- to lift and pry the deox and injured from the tangled mas of wreckage. Thirteen of the injured and ten of tho dead were taken to Elmir on a special train. The other dea- were taken to undertaking rooms in Corning and the remainder of the injured were conveyed to the Corn ing City Hospital. There a large corps of doctors and nurses worke< rapidly and efficiently. All th< physicians in the city were summon ed, and many ministers and priest: were called to administer last sacra ments and receive messages for re latives and friends from tho dying Most of the bodies were badly mangled, their condition testifying to the terrific driving power o Schroeder's engine as it crashe< through the fated train. The cars themselves were one heapcd-up mass of wreckage, telescoped into o:\rh other. The last two cars or No. 11 remained on the track anc later were used as hospita coaches. The people of Corning have open ed their homes to the injured who could not find accommodation the hospital, or whose injuries were too slight to warrant their crowding other persons irom the institutions.

P, B, Will Erect 500 Houses A despatch from Hcgina, Sask., nays : The city officials in various committees have been working ever since t'.i- catastrophe with but a few hours' tih-ep, A complete canvass has IJPCII rnadc as to the necessity for relif?f. Immediate relief is need- ed for some 100 familial, while more will IIP added to the list later. Many who really nerd the relief are probably concealing their nerds, and will not apply for help unless urgi-d by actual want. Hundreds of otlior victims of the cyclone aro beiiiR kept by friends who can ill afford it. A largo portion of those wlms,' ii" ;<li-nces and property were devastated arc wealthy or well-to- do people who, while they hav re- ceived a severe setback, are not in actual want, and while they lack shelter of their own, are being housed by relatives or friends. Six automobiles an.- kin! busy in- vestigating cases for relief and dol- ing out provisions. The majority of the homeless arc bring provided for nt private hoimes, hut there uro still hundreds sleeping in the public schools and various public build- ings and in tents on the site of their former residences. The C'.P.R. have established a re- cord in building their freight sheds. Thn lie.ls wrrn almost a total wreck and tlieir whole yard w.is a scene of devastation. The yards are already nearly cleared, and five hundred carpenters have work- ed with feverish haste so that the sheds are now practically com- pleted. The city linji decided to build a corrugated iron warehouse;, which will be rented to Arms unnblt- to find accommodation. Thfi railway officials decided to erect a large number of resid^aces, and they nettled on plans for two classes of buildings, one a two-story house to cost about $2,500, the other a bungalow costing about Si, 800. If necessary they will build five hundred of these houses. Ten- tiers for the hoiiBCs have been called for, and work will bn started at once. It is hoped to have some completed within ten daya. Over a thousand carpenters are now at work, and more are pouring into the city on every train. All aro being put to work. Hundreds of bricklayers nro also busy nnd the residences which were slightly dam- nged <ir do not have to bo torn down aro being patched up for im- mediate occupancy in remarkably fnst time. The board of the Methodist Church have arranged to go ahead nt once with the re-construction of tlieir church. They propose occupy- ing a building of nimilar propor- tions on the old site, with few changes in detail. The task of removing the debris will be slow, on account of the heavy atone and timbers, which aro wedged in a mass of wreckage from three to twenty feet high. Inspec- tor Falls has not yet gone over tho ruiriH of Knox Presbyterian Church nnd could not say if portions of it were, snfo to rebuild upon. It i" quite likely it will bo torn down. Work of re-construction on tho Iliiptist Church will cost about $10,- 000, and is being rapidly pushed. Now pipe organ remains intact. The Government is working on the new telephone exchange, plans for which had been drawn up some months ago. Portion of the ruins of SmUh Street south.

Several people had miraculous escapes from theae houses, aa this view naturally leads one to expect. PRICES OF FARM PROWS REPORT* FROM THE LEAOINO TRADE CENTRES OF AMERICA.

A despatch from Toronto saysi Traffic is still increasing steadily' on the T. and N. O. Railway, although heavier operating charges keep net earnings from gaining much on last year's figures.

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.
