Over « hundred delegates were in attendance, and in point of good looks and inteiligenco ttie meeting ccno- pafod favorably with any of equalmem- bership ever held in the State. The order is enjoying a phenomenal growth. Within three years the mem- bership has increascd thrce hundred per cent, and the cry is “still they corne.” The exercises were entertaining and profitable, and theaddressesat flic Wed nesday evening sesMion’vere of a very high order of merit. The delegates wese beautifully enter tained. One tells us that Grahams Is a “grand place.” Since the middle of June he has spent a good portion of his time there at the school examination, the Alliance meeting, thopistrict Con ference of the Methodist* and the Good Templars gathering.

We copy from the Bud- | g» t's Interview with fireman Johniion; “Tha train was making thirty-lira mile* an hour at this time. Rris«enden | and Brown were in the cab, one seated * on either side, Brissenden having his , w indow down, while Johnson was ' standing near the tender. They were all talking ami laughing, when John son turned and thruw two buckets of | mat Into the furnace. Just as he closed i the furnace he heard Brow n say, ‘I<ook | out: there is something the matter I ahead!’ Johnson jumped to the aide of the cab and grasping the hand rails, swung | out and looked ahead. The next mo- , incut he cried out: ‘It’s a red light!* and almost at the same instant all bands realised their danger. There was a train on the track just ahead of them. UriAseruleti put on all brakes and re versed the engine. IUU it wa* too late to avoid a collision, and the three men in the cab renli/ed it. Brown ran to the side of the cab and got out on the steps, while Brissenden went out on the foot rail crying out, ‘jumpfor It, boys!* Those were probably the last words be ever uttered.. In the meantime Johnson had clam bered up Into the coal box and bad braced himself against the wood board. Scarcely had these preparations b© !,n made when they had a second’s view of a man frantically w aving a red lantern. The n»-xt Instant Brow n made a leap for his life and went flying through thL* air. and thHi im^inrgTlfoTTTtsIied Into a freight car, tottered and trembled for a moment ami then went off the track with a crash. » The scene for the next few* minutes wa* one of almost indescribable confu sion. M**n were yelling unditUiuguish- abie directions to each other and racing frantically here, there and everywhere. A* soon **44*»^ nature of the catastro phe was realized, a search was at once begun for the engineer and fireman. Brissenden was found first. He was lying almost directly beneath the de railed engine ami had been horribly crushed about the stomach, while bis right leg was almost severed from his body. It Is supposed that he was caught between the engine and tender and crushed to death. A few minutes later the searchcra found'young Brown. He,was found ly ing near the sw itch to the “spur” track, and was stone dead. A dark blue bruise was on his forehead and right cheek, ami a small bole such as a bullet would make, was found just in the center of his forehead. His neck had also been broken. In jumping from the engine he must have struck his head against the switch and been instantly killed. Johnson was the only one of those who had been in the cab who escaped w'ith hi* life. He merely suffered a bad bruise o.n his right leg below’ the knee, and expects to be out at work iu a day or two.” ~ An inquest was held arid verdict found that the accident was due to the carelessness of freight train No. 86 in not giving sufficient warning to the crew of passenger No. 50. The trains were scheduled to pass at Georges, but No. 85 was behind time. Her engine and a few cars had entered the switch at Ridgevilie w hen the crash came. Conductor Gilbert, of No. 60, claims that his train was “dead on time” and the crew of No. 85 claim that No. 50 was ahead of hfcr time according to their watches.
