Maritime express, due on Sunday, jiimpud the track and overturned near Aniqui, Que., about four hundred miles from Mont- real, at 5 o'clock on Sunday morning, and though it carried twelve sleeping passengers, none of tlicm were reported seriously injured. The escape was rather remarkable, and may be attri- buted in part to the low embankment and to the immediate action of the emer- gency lirake, wliicli operated automati- cally, owing to the break in the coup- ling. The car lay on its side, and so severe was the jolt that all the lower windows were .smashed and Ihc frnine- woik badly wrenched. The front Pull- man was forced from Ihe track, but did not turn over. 11 is supposed Iho acci- dent was due to spreading rails, even though the engine and three colonist cars had pas.sed over safely. When Ihe passengers in the overturned Pullman regained composure and managed to get out, they observed that if the car liud left the track a few yards farther ahead they would have been hurled over a fifty-foot embankment to a stream of water.

At the mo- ment it looks as though 75 to 80 per cent, of the grain niiglil he saved, as the bins are intact, and the total loss on grain and elevator will not amount to more than $-250,000.
