Thirty Injured Are In the Hospital
at Sudbury Ont.
Sudbury, Ont., Jim. 24.- Eighteen
bodies have boon recovered from the
Canadian Pacific wreck nt Spanish
river and It Is bollovcd there nro
thirty still In the Bubmorged cars.
Two of the wrecked cars, the col
onist enr and the first class cuach,
whoso ventilators wore vlslblo above
the water, drifted under the bridge
during the day and finally wero com
pletely submerged. Moro than thirty
Injured wore taken to the general hos
pital and the hotels of Sudbury.
Robert Burroughs of Montreal gavo
the following graphic account of the
wreck: "My first Intimation of any
thing wrong was the pounding on the
tracks of tho Pullman trucks. When
the Pullman went down tho embank
ment, I was thrown Into a corner,
stunnod, and covered with debris.
Woman, Dying, Calls Husband.
"Extricating myself, t went down
the car, clinging to the scats. I found
a woman on tho floor pinned undor a
Beat and McFarland, who was unhurt.
"Wo tried to extricate tho woman, but
she- was hopelessly pinned. Sho asked
for her husband. After making her
as comfortable ns possible, we lctt the
enr and discovered the body of her
husband, who had been killed. On re
turning to her wo found that she had
died in our absence.
"Leaving the cur ngain, wo cllmbod
tho embankment to tho second' col
onist car, which by this time was blaz
ing. Wo could hear tho piercing
shrloks of womon and children inside.
Men tried to quench the flames by
throwing Bnow and their hands wero
burned nnd blistered as they tried to
tear away tho burning timbers, but
their efforts wore futllo. The an
guished voices grow fainter nnd as
tho flames roso Into a roar the cries
died away. At the foot of. the em
bankment hnlf the diner and tho roofs
of two other cars were visiblo. All
was deathly sllenco there."
Train Plunges Over Embankment.
The wreck occurred about thirty
seven miles west of Sudbury, where
tho trncks cut Into tho side of a steep
hill, which Is skirted by the rivor. The
forward part of the train passed over
the break, whatovor It was, in Bafcty.
Tho day coach, which was tho fourth
from the engine, was tho first to leave
the rails. The train wa3 running nt
tht rate ot about forty miles an hour.
About twenty-five passongera were In
ono car, and it Is practically certain
that none escaped.
Two minutes after the first crmh
only the roof of the day coach
showed above tho floating ico In tho
river. Tho second clnss car smashed
against tho end of a culvert and was
crushed like an eggshell. Sonio ol
tho pasBongers wero killed outright,
hut others wero caught In the wreck
ngo and wore roasted to death bo
fore they could bo rescued. Ninety
two passengers wore Injured.
HUNT FOUR TRAIN ROEBERO
Bloodhounds Fall to Run Down Mis
souri pacific Holdup Men.
St. Louis, Jan. 24. With all trails
leading toward St. Louis, the four
men who held up and robbed tho Mis
souri Pacific train near Eureka, Mo.,
are bolloved to bo hldjng In this city.
Two hundred men and six bloodhounds
covered tho greater part of St. Louis
county In an almost fruitless search.
Tho clues which developed In tho
search for the men, who are behoved
to have obtained $10,000 by cutting
open sixteen mall ponchos, show that
a boat in which tho bandits may have
floated down tho Meramoe river to St.
Louis was stolen l-'Vldny night a few
miles from tho scone of the robbery,
and the bloodhounds took up a trajl
which lod towards this city.
The theory was advanced tho rob
bers may have used an automobile in
escaping with their booty. Itowards
aggregating 57,200 were offered for
the arrest and conviction of the out
laws. PARIS FLOOD GROWS SERIOUS

Up Issue.
Chicago, Jan. 22. The movement to
combat the high prices of meat sprcaa
rapidly and is assuming a national
churacter. Coincident with tho growth
of the movement came announce
ments from Milwaukee and Cleveland
thut the prlco of meat had droppod.
In Mllwaukeo two retail butchers quot
ed porterhouse steak at 10 cents a
pound, sirloin ut tho same prlco and
other meats in proportion. The whole
Bale price of beef fell off 15 cents a
hundred pounds in Cleveland.

Samuel Dutton, president of tho West
ern Hotel Men's association, an
nounced that tho proposition of cut
ting down the consumption of moat
would bo before his organization at a
mooting to bo held here Jan. 31.

ONE RESULT OF BOYCOTT
Gtock Shipments Checked at Cleveland
and Prices Still Up.
Clovoland, Jan. 24. Tho wldo adver
tisement of tho Clevoland meat strlko
has placed a sharp check on tho In
coming supply. Although a cnnvns3
of nil the retail butcher shops In tho
First ward, a representtatlvo mlddlo
class section of tho city, shows a fall
ing off In trade of from one-half to
threo-foiiitlts In that locality, tho ex
ceedingly small receipts of live stock
here have operated, according to tho
butchers, to keep prices up. The de
cline of beef has been but 15 cents on
tho hoof and on lambs 10 cents. Two
hundred wagon loads of chickens
brought In from tho country were re
jected, commission men declaring that
they cannot sell fowls at all.
The number of active boycotters of
meat hns reached 125,000, according to
tho men who have the petitions In
charge. It is not believed that tho
number will greatly increase, as tho
United Trades and Labor council has
asked all union men to boycott tho
boycott and the more prosperous
classes havo ignored it.

worried over tho reports from various
quarters about the public feeling over

the recent boycott of meats Is causing
worrlment. This movement, which
started ,ln Clevelnnd, and Is now
