The latest f:-‘:nonma kind with which . the town of Berlin has had to déal is that of &n _ imbecile young man, @bout 25 years of age, from _ the Fownship of Luther. The father ol the man in questicn, sold his farm about two years ago, with the conâ€" dition that the purchaser keep his imbecile son. The father, whose fame is Sweitzer, then moved to Berlin, where he at present lives. The purchaser of the farm in Luther has since sold it, and the poor imâ€" becile was turued out of house and home. The authorities at Luther then shipped _ the poor unfortunate _ to Berlin. The father is not able to supâ€" port his son as he has a family of small children, and a _ wife, (the mother of the unfortunate boy) _ to support _ in the _ Hamilton asylam. Moreov®r, the imbecile son is declarâ€" ced by the father to be a dangerous lunatic and has been incareerated in Berlin gaol fot some weeks but is discharged and has been taken Ly the _ town authoritiecs, back to his father‘s house. It nas been proposed to send the imbecile back to the county of Duflerin from whence hc came, as it is contended that he is a nitive of that county, thercfore the ‘expense of supporting him should be borne by the county of Bufferin, and not by the county of Waterloo, nor the town of Berlin,. Whether such a _ course is legally justifiable, or not is a question.

Strewn for some distance along either sides of the track are | trucks and debris from the wrecked trains. The two enâ€" gines were _ totally wrecked. They were almost _ welded together, so much so that it will be a difficult task to pull them _ apart. The tender on the east bound was torn off and thrown up on the bank, while thaÂ¥ ol the west bound is smashed to pieces. The engines proper are piled in a heap and strewn ower it is the debris of the wreck. When the two trains struck the cars of the west bound were forced on the top of the engine, while othâ€" ers _ ploughed their way into the ground; some of the cars were toin to pieces and in one place could be seen the floor, while the rool was some distance down the track. The contents of the cars, as far as could be seen, consisted of merâ€" chandise, dry goods, and liquor, while four flat cars, fully loaded with lumber and iron were amongst those destroyed. The crew of the east bound_ were all Sarnia men, of whom enly cne was injured. Conducior Gallan was in charge, â€" while engincer Blanchard was â€" at the â€" throttle. His freman was J. Hayson. The engineer and fireman _ saw the light of the westâ€" bound when it was cnly a short distance away. They closed off the steam, threw back the throttle angd consequently escaped death. In jumpâ€" ing, however, fireman lHayson was badly bruised. One side of his face is cut while he reccived an injury to his right knee cap. The west bound train was in charge of Conductor Vansickle, of Toronto, The engineer was II. Patâ€" on, and the fireman, Frank Snowdon, both of Stratford. â€" Engineer Paton jumped, but did not escape injury. The back of his head and on of his legs were badly scalded by csâ€" caping stcam, but otherwise he sufâ€" fered _ no serious injury. Snowdon was less fortunate. When he saw the other train it was too late to jump and he stood at his post. He â€" was caught between the cab and the cnâ€" gine and instantly killed. His body was thrown under the engine and alâ€" most burnad to a crisp by the escapâ€" ing steam. It was severat hours beâ€" fore his lifeless form was extricated ‘from the debris. The brakesmen . on “e west bound train were Bennett }wdd Hall of Toronto. Hall was kilâ€" , but his body has ngt becn found up to the time of going to press.

By it two men were killed and two inâ€" jured, while two locomotives and 12 cars were entirely wrecked and ruinâ€" ed. The trans consisted of 22â€"cars, on the east bound train, and 23 on the west, so that it can be easily imagined when these two enormous moving masses came into collision, what an awful disaster was the re sult. Pictures can give but little idea of â€" what such a wreck means. It requires to te seen in all its draâ€" matic, awlul and pathetic horror to be understood and felt. An error is made, and _ here we see its scâ€" quence in lives lost, splendid locomoâ€" tives wrecked, cars destroyed | and valuable property injured. A The scene of the accident was . on that part of the line knowr as ‘‘Trainer‘s Cut,"" An east bound and west bound freighs were toâ€"cross at Guelph, by some mistake the eastâ€" bound was allowed to go before the other had arrived. The eastâ€"bound was running slow at the time of the collision owing to the heavy upâ€"grade but the westâ€"bound was running at the _ rate of nearly fiftyâ€"five miles an hour. It is almost impossible for the crew of ome train to see the approach of another at this particuâ€" lar part of the line and this acâ€" counts _ for the fact that those on board the ill.fated trains did mrot jump until the last minute.
