TRIAL OF EMPLOVEES MAY FOLLOW WRECK AT DANE Following the finding of the corâ€" oner‘s jury in the inquest into the death of Engineer Thos, Woollings and Brakesmen Kirkwood and Faulâ€" ken, who lost their lives as a result of a headâ€"on collision near Dane on Aug. 28th, Operator Gillice of Englehart and Despatcher J. Dwyer of North jay were dismissed from the service of the T. N. O. Railway. In Ahis evidence at the inquest the operator admitted that he hbhad forgotten to an order to. one of the train ence was To Tne AIlOrneyâ€" (General. Contrary to the usualt attiâ€" tude in such cases, there was no genâ€" eral public desire to visit punishment on anyone ‘for the sad accident. 1t was felt that any lapse or mistake hadâ€" been already punished. The thought alone that they might be conâ€" sidered in any measure responstble for the tragedy that occurred would be a heavy burden indeed on any railâ€" way employees. _ The menâ€" meeting death were popular fellow workers on the T. N. 0., no doubt wellâ€"known and liked, and any thought of resâ€" ponsibility for their death would be and liked, and any thought of resâ€" ponsibility for their death would be a heavy <~grief indeed. The fault, wherever the full blame might lie, apâ€" peared to be less than even deliberate carelessnss. It would be best deseribâ€" ed as a lapse. No punishment from the law would be likely to exceed the sotrow and regret roused by the acâ€" cident itself. Reports picture the operator as fainting on receipt of the news of the collision of the trains and being fairly frantic and ill from sorâ€" row for days after. On the other hand the law itself has the duty oi sternly upholding the sacredness ot human life and enforeing the lesson of such carefulness as will guard the lives and safety of others. In consiâ€" dering the matter the Attorneyâ€"Genâ€" eral had a difficult problem to deal with. Last week reply was received from the Attorneyâ€"General, and it is understood that this reply was folâ€" lowed by the issuing of warrants Yor the arrest of both the operator and the despatcher referred to. So far as learned these warrants ‘have not yvet been served. In case the charges are proceeded iwith, it is likely that reâ€" mands will be made and the cases takâ€" en up later. The despatcher will be tried at North Bay and the operator at New Liskeard if the cases go to the higher courts. So far as The Advance could learn ithe despatches in the daily papers stating that arrests had been made last week were premature. Operator and Despatcher on !Duty Likely to Face Charges.

Porâ€" cupine, Kirkland Lake, Cobalt and South Lorrain Camps will be visited. Last year the mempers of the Standard Mining â€" Exchange visited the North in a and the memâ€" bers in general found so much of inâ€" terest and value from the trip that it was practically decided that the tour would ‘be an annual event.. While many of those in the party had been frequent visitors to the North Land, and some had been resident here for years, there were also many who last year made their first visit to this country. To all in the party Jast year the tour proved of great value and as a result of the trip there has been more enthusiasm for the North Land and its industries. While in the iPorcupine last year the visitors inspected established and new mines and generally gathered much inforâ€" mation as to the progress and possiâ€" bilities of the country: The Standâ€" ard Mining Exchange includes all the concerns in Toronto dealing in minâ€" ing securities, and the party last year had representation from practically all the firms on the Standard Exâ€" change. In view of the pleasant sucâ€" cess of the tour last year it is probâ€" able that the visit in October wil atâ€" tract a considerable number. From such visits the facts about the wealth and possibilitiese of the North will be made more widely known to the outâ€" side world. with the Sports May put on by the Firemen is still in progress, the vyariâ€" ous competitions having not yet an been played out.
