Str. THomas, Ont., July 18.
The smash up on the Grand Trunk Rail-
way to-night was the worst railway disaster that ever has been in Canada. At least twenty were killed and burnt and about one hundred injured.
As the train irom Port Hanley was ap- | proaching the Michigan Central Crossing jim the heart of the city, a train loaded with
a coal oil tank was across Port | Hanley track. It customrry for the | Port Hanley train to stop twenty yards off | the crossing at Wellington, but for some
reason unknown at present, although lights
passing
1s
and semaphores were turned,~ the passenger train dashed ahead running
quickly into the freight train, cutting the oil tank directly intwo. In an instant the was ablaze, and in than sixty seconds, furks and fiery tongues of burning liquid were wildly leaping a hundred feet jin the air, enveloping the surrounding | buildings.
Adjoining store-houses, lumber yards }and stables were quickly in a blaze. The frebells and whistles all over the city rang the alarm, and citizens flocked in hundreds | to see the flames.
For twenty minutes it was thought the | firemen could have no chance of preventing | the flames from sweeping the whole eastern | part of the city. All this time the mass of
less
' | oil
_| citizens had no idea how the fire broke out,
|and were unaware that beyond and inside the burning building which covered three blocks were lying a score of burning cars, the wreck of a great collision. The flames of burning oil seemed to reach to heaven, while a dense column of smoke, which for thirty minutes had been ascending, spread down, and with falling darkness of evening, doubly intensified the already dismal scene. All were crowding towards the fire; but the heat was intense. It was impossible to
stund within a c-uple of a hundred feet. Ali at once, however, and as sudden as a thunder bolt,an awful explosion took place,
and a tongue of fire seemed to reach to the |very heavens. It was the explosion of an
loiltank. Fora moment all was_ still as ideath, and then cries of agony | from scores of burned rent the air. |Men and women rushed headlong,
| trampling children and weaker ones under feet. Scores were burned more or less. In every direction men could be seen hurrying with burned arms and faces. Some were burried away on buggies, until every doctor's shop in town was filled with men with burn- ed hands and faces. When the crowd had recovered from the panic and confusion caused by the explosion, the firemen and citizens crowded around the wreck of smoking timber, and search was started, when it ,was found that two passenger cars with engine and tender lay in broken fragments. Engineer Donnelly’s body was found in his cab. As the search progressed. body after body was found among the smouldering ruins, until the charred remains of nearly a dozen per- sons were taken from the wreck. The fol- lowing are the victims, as far as can be ascertained :— Mrs. K. Smithers and chil- dren. Mrs. Straine and child, Mrs, 8S. G, Goland and child,#Mrs. J. Bowles and three children, Engineer Donnelly and Hermon Pousford.

A CORRESPONDENT at Georgetown gives the following particulars respecting the death of Mr. Wiltshire. He writes :—‘‘After over three days’ diligent search, the body of the missing man, Wiltshire, was found in the Thompson Mill-pond, on Wednesday, the 13th inst. The body was raised and taken into the mill, when the coroner, Dr. McLaren, was sent for. On his arrival, he proceeded with the inquest, appointing Messrs. Geo. A. Thompson, P. Charles Lavers, W. Leith Poole, Roderick McKinnon, Thomas Kemp, Sr., Benjamin Davy and James Kemp, as jurors. The Coroner and Jury examined the body, and his son, Thomas Wiltshire, on oath, identified it as that of his father. Several persons, who had seen him alive and also who were in search of him when found, were sworn aniexamined. When the evidence was heard the Coroner and Jury searched the clothing on the body, and found about eight dollars, a watch, knife and several trinkets. The Jury then deliberated on the evidence and the articles found, when they returned the following verdict:—‘ We are of opinion that the deceased, William Brenett Wiltshire, came to his death by drowning, while in the act of attempting to oross the Thompson Mill- yond, whilst laboring under a temporery evangement of mind.’ ”
