The accident occarrcd at a point where the trains had to ascend a i^raiio on a bark lifty feet high. The first irbiu ascended the grade without trouble. Tho second section attempted to run the aeccnt, but the weight of the train proved too great for the engine. Several oars wore detached andalloweo torun back towards the Uvel traoh, but before they reached it they came in colliision with an ordinary train from Armagh prooooding at a good rate of spcfil. The excursion cars were completely wrcckeil. Tho scene which ensued was heartrending. Hosts of Tolanteers wore soon at band, and the dead and wounded were taken from the wreck and carried down the bank. Medical aid was called for, aiii a special train from Belfatt brought to the Bcene twenty â-  argoona from that city and a number of medical men from other places btlween Delfast and Armagh. The disaster is unparalleled in the railroad bintory of Ire- lactl. Ttiu accident bnj cast a gloom over Armagh. All the shops were closed this afternoon and the people are in general mourning'. The engineer, fireman and guard of the train, and the traffic mana- ger's clerk were sammoncd before a magis- trate aid were remanded on a charge of beiD), responsible for the accident. l<ETUi.s Of lui: MisABrzn. The break-power of the engine of the third train was inadcijuate. While the eeoond tram was ascending the incline the engineer remarked to the fireman, " I am afraid we can't do it." The following train was ooniniuucing the ascent when the engineer eaw the runaway cars. Bbntting oil steam and reversing tho lever the euginidr and fireman jumped (rem the engine, si ^uting tu the passengers to do likewise. The latttr. however, not hearing the cries did not obey. No one was injured on that train. The engine wax burled iX) feet down an embankment. The carriage that ran into the engine was shattered to Bplinterr'. and fragments of dress, umbrellsu, etc., were ocattered hundreds of yards. A dozen corpses were found beneath the engine in a parboiled condition. Borne of the occupants uf tho runaway cara tried to escape, but the doors were locked. The first part of the train started back in pursuit of the runaway cars, and the passengerh saw tho collision atadistanoe of 300 yards. A.Ni,TIIKIl ilCuVNT.

His body was recovered yes- terday afternoon. SKETCH OK IIIB Lli'E. Lord Gocil was born July 18tb, 1811, and joined the First Kifie Brigade in England when 17 years of age. He was a wild, reck- less youth, full of dash and pride, an inveterate gambler and horseman, and one, as ho stated in a sermon at Brookville, who had oommitted every sin in the deca- logue." He served as lieutenant in the Ititle Brigade, and with it came to Canada, to be .stationed in torn in Kingston, Ham- ilton and (Quebec. In MM be left the brigade bccauEC he was prohibited from promulgating the religious doctrine he pro- fessed among the men. The matter. was fought to the bitter end, and it was not uDtU the Duke of Cambridge issued a man- date that the coollict ceased. Then Lord Cecil tendered his resignation, and since that date devoted his lime, talents and for- tune to the propagation of the doctrine of the Brethren, to whom be bore the relation- ship of chief brother. To-day bis followers are scattered in all^lande. They are known as Cecilite<i or I'lymouth Brethren, but these titles are not recognized by those who have close relationship in the work. Lately he spent most of his summers in tho neigh- borhood of Kingston, camping and evangel- izing. HIS CONVEBHIOK. " Lord Cecil told me, " said a lady to-iay, " about his conversion. He was in Ham- ilton in 18G7 or 18t'i8, when he was called home on the demise of bis father, lliu mother, the Marchioness of Exeter, a godly woman, and his sister, tho wife ot\i8couiit Sandon, another pious lady, both appealed to him to forsake his wild career. Little good rctulttd, but en hiH iLtntn to Urn.l ton early religions impretisions, which had been made by a devoted governesa who frequently talked to him in childhood about JceuH, came swelling upon his soul, and a marvellous conversion occurred. Ho told me he was out with the soldiers on the march, and while the most lively music was being played he was stricken with the enormity of his sins. Then and there with tim idity he asked to be pardoned and God gave him peace. He frcijuently told me he could go to the very spot in Hamilton where tho glorious change was wrought. IIIH I lUIlACTKIl. Lord Cecil was of a most gentle and lovable disposition. He was retiring and most unpretending. He was devoted to Uod and His work. He was remarkably gifted. His knowledge of the ScriptnrcK waa somutbing wonderful. He was elo- quent and yet simple. Mis language was grand an<l lofty, and his bearing most gentle and winning. " Frcijuently he held his co-religionists spellbound as bo un- folded to them the deep things of Cod," said a riyniouthite. " Ho waa what would be termed in any other Church a big gun." He spent his winters in the Houtheru States. IIIH ANCEKT1I\. He was not givon to telling of his family bintory. Uis ancestry was ever kept in tho background. Onoe he waa asked as to hia relationship with the Marquis of Salisbury, tho present I'remier of Kngland, and im the question was pointed, and as it was said ho was bis brother, he stated as follows : "William Cecil waH an eminent statesman nf Liiioolnshiro, born in lfi'20, and Hon of Richard Cryssel, an otticer of tbe court in attendance upon Henry VIII., and who was raised to the baronetoy of Burghley in ITi?!, in Queen Klizabeth's reign. This states- man married in lACl Mary, sister of Sir John Cheke, tutor to Edward VI., to whom was born Thomas Cecil, successor to Baron Biirghloy. The first wife dying, tho Baron was married again to Mildred, daughter of Sir Anthony Coke, of Giddy Hall, Essex. By her Robert Cecil waa born, afterwards created Earl of Halisbury, and from whom tho present Earl is deKoended. Lord Cooil is a descendant of tho heir to the baronetcy. Two families sprang from the same parent. This constitutes tho relationship." HIS UKI.ATIVEH. Lord Cecil was IS years of age. He in- tended returning to England this fall on a visit to his relatives. He was nut on ru- niarkably gocd terms with tho present Marquis of Exeter. Some years ago, when the son of the Marquis becaino of age, great fetea weru being enjoyed at tlie baronial oastle. Lord iJisraeli was in at- tendance. Lord Cecil attended, and, in the midst of the gayoty, he arose in the park and preaohod the Gospel tu t hose assembled . Ills action greatly offended his brother. However, in after yeara they became reconciled, but Lord Cecil never visited him because he waa "a servant of the tiesh." KNO«.N I.S IHUIl.IoS. Lord Cecil was well known in Hamilton. It will bo remembered by many of the older inhabitants that he came out with the Uille Brigade and was stationed here fur some time. Uubsequently be visited Ham- ilton frequently iu connedion with serviots hold by the I'lymouth Brethren, He waa held in tho highest estimation. NEWS FfiOM BTAULEY, the Fazzliog Despatohes Beceired from Qreat White Explorer. A London special cable from Zanzibar last (Wednesday) night says : A letter has been received here from Ururi Booth, southeast of Victoria Nyanza, dated 2n(l of December. It states tbat Stanley ar- rived at I'ruri, stayed for a short time, re- turned to Victoria Nyanza, left behind 60 men, owing to sickness, and 40 rillea. Most of the sick eventually died. A short time after Mitchell arrived there and took away the rifles. Shortly after it waa reported that H. M. Stanley s.UBtaiDed a heavy loss of men owing to sickness and want of pro visions. Finally Stanley arrived. He e.aid Emin Pacha iu at Uuyara, fifteen days dia tant. Stanley took away everything and returned to Emin i'acha, giving the writer a letter to take personally to tbe Agent General. Sir Francis de Winton, who is a great authority on African exploration, writes : " The telegram just received via Zanzibar gives news of Stanley up to 2od December last. He was then at Ururi, at the south- east end of Lake Victoria Myanza, having left Kmiu at Unyara, which is situated iu the district of Kavirondo, at the northeast corner of the lake. It should be remem- bered that Stanley left hia camp at Bon- alya, on tho Aruwimi, on the 4ih of Sep- tember, 1888, and as it would appear an impossiblity for the journey from Bonalya to Ururi to be accomplished in 82 days, i.i-., from the 1th of September to tbe 2od of December, some mistake has been mads as regards this date. It in quite possible for the messenger who brought the news to have left Ururi in the middle of February and reached Zanzibar on tbe 10th of June, The allusion to Mitchell is also somewhat pu/.zliog. At present the white men with Stanley are Lieut. Stairs, Nelsbn, Moon- tenay, Jeppson, Dr. I'arkes and Bonny, Besides Stanley's servant the only other white men in that ptrt of Africa are Kmiu I'acha and Captain Casati. Nelson might, however, become Mitchell iu passing into the native vernacular and then back again into English. From the direction Stanley is taking it would appear be is making fur Msalala, at tbe south end of tbe lake, whore a large depot of provisions waa de- posited more than a year ago, and as he would have the advantage of water carriage to take hia caravan from Unjara to Kagheyi missionary station, at tho aoath end cf the lake, it is to be hoped he has for some time been in poasetsion of bis atorei<, so that the main aifl'iaulties of his enter- prise have bet II succtsjfully overcome. Should my surmiio tbat he arrived ut I'ruri about tbe 2nd February, in place of the 2nd December, bo correct, and that ho ban since pushed on to Kagheyi, &t the south end of the lake, wo may soon have further news in addition to the letter given to the trader uf Ururi, who forwards this message and who is bringing the letter hiinaeii to Zanzibar.

A ust (Fridaj) night'n Niagara I'alls, Out., denpatch says : About half-past 3 o'oluck this afternoon a well-drfssed lady walked deliberately out on tho raceway near tho river gate at I'rcKpect Park, imme- diately above the American falls, and holding her arms over her head leaped into theiunhing water, that took but a few seconds tu sweep her over tho American falls. Sjveral gentlenicu near by saw her make the leap, and rushed down to see tho unfortunate woman pass over tho brink of the falls. They nutillod tbe Park Superiii tondcnt, wjiu procured aaaiatance and made a search for the body in the river below tho falls. It was discovered about half an hour afterwards iu the river near tho Canadian side by Aaron Glassbrook, who towed the body to tho shore, and bad it taken to Undertaker Morse's rooms at Drummondville and taken charge of by the coroner. Tho description of the suicide Im as fallows : Largo, darkcomplexionec woman, about ir> years of ago, weighing about 170 poiindH, largo features. All tlio clothing excepting a pair of black corsets and dark stockings and shoes had been stripped off the body. Tbe woman came from Buffalo on the :< 10 train this after- noon and went direct to tba park and tuak her life. A lady who saw the woman jump off into tho river fainted and had to be curried to her hotel. At tho place whero tliu woman leaped into tho river was found a black silk parasol with light wood handle, a white handkerchief, a lady's wrap of black material, embroidered with black silk, a small, thin glass and a half pint empty flask that had recently contained whiskey. * ONK YKAK IN JAIL.

'The prisoner and his counsel, Mr. Chrisiie, were oonfldoot of an acquittal, and a I'inkerton detootive brought out all the facts derogatory to the girl's charac- ter. A strong defence waa mado and the case waa given to tbe jury at 10.45 p.m. In ten minutes they brought in a verdict of guilty, and Bright was remanded to jail awaiting seiitenuo.

A cablegram from London, dated last (Wediieeday) night says : Th* nine hours' sitting to-day of the county justices before whom Mrs. Maybriok made her first appearance in public on a charge of having put her late husband to death by arsenical poisoning, has served to exhaust only half tbe evidence in the long chain of facts. The excitement around the now County Seesiona House, where the magisterial investigation was opened this morning and will be continued to-morrow, baa been strung to the highest pitch. The jury's gallery was occupied with fashionably- dressed ladies, whilst the public gallery contained a mixed audience of the respecta- ble class. Supt. Bryning conducts the case for the prosecution, and the prisoner has tbe advantage ab counsel of Mr. Pick- ford, who is a leading junior at tbe bar in this city. Mr. A. Brierley, cotton broker, whose intimacy with the wife ot the deceased gentleman has brought him into un- pleasant prominence, was not represented by counsel, as before tbe coroner, nor did he put in an appearance. One other much interested person, however, has retained counsel. Mr. Edgecome appeared on behalf of Baroness Von Kcque, the mother of the accused lady. The court was hushed when in response to the command of Supt. Bryning Mrs. May- brick was brought into the dock from below. She approached the dock rails with a firm step and head erect. She is a slightly-built person of medium height, and, according to popular report, ia good looking, having light golden hair. She was shrouded from head tu foot in heavy black crape. Nothing but toe chain of the priaocer was visible to tbe court. Her widow's veil, which she never once lifted, completely hid the upper part of ber ^face. A comfortable-looking arm chair was provided, and into this she settled down, her head reclining upon the upholstery, while Supt. Bryning unfolded in a succinct, concise and unbiased way tbe whole series of startling facts already dis- closed before the coroner. Tho crosses amination of witnesses was directed to show tbat the deceased took nerve tonics oontaining arsenic, but tbe only new fact elicited was that Brierley paid a London hotel bill of 12 Dig Od. The court ad- journed till to-moriow. A last (Thursday) nighty Liverpool cable says : The police proceldings in the Maybrick case were concluded this evening, with tbe result that tbe accused lady has Iu stand her trial before an BHiize jury. Mrs Maybrick was brought into the dock at 10 this morning. The public part of the court was crowded with well-dressed people. Mrs. Uaybrick resumed her li inner position in an arm chair, provided for her convenience, and she sat through tho weary hours of examination and cross- examination with a rigidity that surprised everybody, A few minutes after tho hearing wag resumed she scribbled a pencil note to Mr. Cleaver, her solicitor, and this she re- peated eeveral times during tho day. Her face was still enveloped iu an impenetrable crape veil. The charwoman who cleaned Mr. May- brick's citico waa the first witness ot the day. she being followed by an office boy Their evidence bad reference to luncheons ot beef tea prepared by the accused lady, and from which Mr. Maybriok suffered Ill- effects. Mr. Michael Maybrick was the next wit ness. and stated iliat Florence Elizabeth Maybrick was from 27 to 30 years ot age, and her late liuiiband died in his SOth year. Witness was summoned to Battle Creaus by peremptory telegrams from his brother Fdwin and Mrs. Briggs, the friend ot ths Maybriuks, three days before the deceased gentleman died. He related how he was led to auapoct Mra. Maybrick was tamper- ing with her husband a medicines and food; the measures he took to secure proper and reliable nursing, and the treatment, more especially after his suspicions had been intensified by receiving from the children's nursu Vapp a remarkable letter from Mra. Maybrick to Mr. A. Brierley, her lover, and how he found certain incriminatory paok- ages and deadly phials in the ruom aaedby Mra. Maybrick. Other witnesses were tbe ohemiutH from whom Mrs. Maybriok had bought tly papers similar to those found iu tho solution in her wash basin. Ibu chemist's assistant who made up two bottles cf medicine for Mr. Maybrick friim a prescription by Dr. Fuller, of Lon- don, a physician whom the deceased gentle- man consulted at the end of April, said ths ingredients of which they wore oompottnded wore free from arsenic. .Nurses Gore, Gallery and Wilson related bedside episodes, including the suspicious handling of their patient's medicines and food by Mrs. Maybrick. The last named repeated an oxolamation made three times by Mr. Maybrick to bia wife tho night before ho died : " Oh, Florrie, how oould you do it .' I did not think it of you," and the wife a rejoinder, " You silly old darling, don t bother your head about anything." Mrs. Maybriok, turning to Nurse Wilson, added, " I cannot tell what ia the matter with him or what baa brought his illnesa on." In crc*s.examinatioii. Nurse Gore said that when she took charge of the patient the medicine bottles were kept in the lavatorv, but she had them brought into the bej- room, but not beside the table. Mr. May- brick waa not strong enough then to leave his bed without assistance. Mr. Edward Davies, analyst, produced a host of ominous looking phials, jars and packages, which were a portion of some scores cf them handed to him by the police fjr analysis. There were many articles brought from Battle Crease in which ho had found traces ot arsenio. He alaa found traces ot araeuio in a portion ot tho viaoera of tho deceased. He admitted in cross- examination that these traces were small iu (luantity, and that tho largest amount found in the liyer was exactly half of the least quantity the witness had found pre- viously in any fatal case. Superintendent Bryning next gave tho final evidence, and this concluded the case for the prosecution. Counsel tor the pisoner asked the bench if there was a case to go before a jury, and the magistrates said they wore agreed that there was. Thereupon he intimated that ho Khonld reserve the prisoner's defence. Mra. Maybrick waa asked to stand whilst the usual caution butoro committal was read by the preeidiog Magietrate, and. she stood forward without evinoing the slight- Mt norvoua tremor. She was then formaUy committed, and at a few minates to 7 o'alock she was removed from the dock and eubsequently oonveyedio Walton jail,, where she will await her trial at the next Liverpool assizas, which open on July 26th. THE KACOHTT PICTCKK8. Winnipeg " Sasslty " bboclied by Ayeged luiinural Pictorial AdvertUemenla. A last (Thursday) night's Winnipeg des- patch says: A case iu the Police Court yesterday attracted great attention. Bur- den, tbe city bill poster, waa arraigned on a charge ot a violation of the city by-law by posting lithographs of an indecent charac- ter for Lily Clay's Female Burlesque Com- pany. There waa a large attendance of spectators, and the defendant waa repre- sented by able counsel. The Chief of Police, several city clergymen, and leading Chris- tians gave evidence for the proH9cution,and were severely croaa-examined by the lawyer on the opposing side, who bad gathered from cigarette and quack medicine adver- tisamenta, illustrated papers, statuary, etc., all the suggestive advertisements he could find, with the view of eliciting an expression of opinion from the witnesses aa to their in- decency. The result was rather ludicrous. Tbe following is a sample of the examina- tion : Archdeacon Fortin waa shown one of tbe pictures complained of, and asked his opinion of its character. Answer, " I lock upon tbat picture aa grossly immoral to begin with, because it represents certain portions ot the body which decency dic- tates should be covered in proper society ; secondly, because. the women represented are attired in the garb of harlots, endeavor- ing to seduce by their blandishments ; thirdly, because I would bo afraid to let my little children look at pictures like that; fourth, becanae I think auch pictures will have a demoralizing effect on many mem- bers, particularly the young members of my tlock. Cross-examined â€" When oarsmen row on the river are they in the garb cf proper society 7 Yee. Ia a person attired for bathing properly attired 'i Yes. To the rev. gentleman was submitted a picture in the Qrtiphic. He thought it much less nude than the pictures complained of. In these pictures a part of the body which should be covered was represented. He regarded a picture from pen and pencil shown him aa immoral. He did not think Venus de Medici was immoral, be- cause ii waa a work cf art. These pictures were very far removed from works of art. He thought exhibit •' B," a common drug More advertisement, equally objectionable. The druggists' lithograph, representing Humphrey's homuopathio specifics, was in hia opinion also very ob- je:tionable. Other exhibits representing advertisementa for cigar stores were pro- duced. He thought them highly objection- able. He did not consider the Laocoon indecent, because it was a work of art and baoauee such representations were in such places that they were wittiessed only by educated people who would not extract evil from them. Tbe counsel then produced Alphonse Daudets' Bappho, a bwok, which, he said. he bad purchased at the bookstore ot Richardson, who ia a respectable man and a member of a city church. The work waa produced and tho illnatratioaa from it were submitted to Kev. Mr. Fortin. Some ot them he saw no objection tc, another one was a little off color. The pictures from the "Ladies' Pictorial, " an English publi- cation, were also submitted. They seemed to Rev. Mr. Fortin to bo all right. He had seen ladies in full dress at parties, and be had seen much that he considered out of place. He had endeavored to correct evils of that kind by private influence and public exhortation. He did not think the nude statue of Venus should be suppressed. This inquiry went on and witnesses on both sides ot the case heard, when the case waa adjourned till Saturday. ^ A OAKUINAL'H KAMK. A Quebec Faper Ulscanaes Uow CariltoaJs art. Treated In Canada and by Ilritish Koyalty Keapectlvely. A Cjuebeo despatch says : VElecteur has undertaken to reply to some statements made at the anti- Jesuit Convention in Toronto, and starts by taking up the claint of one of the speakers that Cardinal Tasch- ereau hod been given a seat on the throne on the opening of the Legislature along- side the Llentenant-Qovernor. This, it aays, is untrue. The Cardinal, as a prince ot the Church, waa entitled t3 rank as an Ambaaaador doea at court, and ho waa given a seat on tbe tloor ot the House to the left of the throne, but not on it. Thia,. it says, waa pure oourttsy, which would have been extended to Hia Eminence in any civilized country As an instance of the consideration in which Cardinal Man- ning ia held at the English court, it says that when Hia Eminence appears he does so in his full red and ermine and he takea the rank ot a Prince. The journal saya that when he onoe called at one of the royal palaces to visit the Queen by invita- tion, be was received by the Prince of Wales, who personally conducted him to Her Majesty, with whom he held a long conversation. His reception altogether was of the most affable nature. Fotaah tn Corn Cobs. There is a good deal of potash in corn cobs, as thrifty housewives long ago learned when making soap. It is here that a good deal ot the mineral elements of the corn plant are concentrated. Perhaps it is for the potash aa a corrective ot acidity in the atomach that animala will often eat the cob. It is all the better for being charred or burned. Burn to a crisp the corn ooba from which fattening hoga have devoured the oorn, and aee bow greedily tbe same animals will eat them.â€" i^«u) fbrk Mail and Expre$$, " Old Tecum seh" Sherman is authority fur the statement that every year the girla at West Point get prettier, and tbat auch has been the case for 60 years.
