The Parnell Commission. § Dus, Feb. 19.

The Freeman's Journal, after reviewing the course of the investigation before the Parnell Commission, says that even the testimony of the last two weeks and the in- troduction of the Parnell letters is tame compared with what is to come. It predicts revelations of a sensational character which will take the Court and country by surprise. A state of things will be disclosed surpassing fictions of the imagination. The Freeman's Journal does not enter into particulars, holding its information in reserve so that the case of the defence may not be prejudiced by premature publications. It points out that there will be a thrilling end to a spy in- former, detective and purchaser of false testimony which is destined to become historic for England and Ireland.

Railway Collision.

Monrrear, Feb. 19.

Last night the Portland incoming express and a local passenger train for St. Hyacinthe collided with great force two miles from the last named town. The engineers both sprang from their trains and escaped, and fortunately only one passenger, named Lussier, was seriously injured. Station Agent Landry, at St. Madeline, disobeyed orders and allowed the Portland express to leave the depot and thus caused the col-

lision.
