It lef c the mine about 10 minutes past 7 a. m.; had 21 cars; 20 of coal aud one of timber. Lum-, .ber car was on tail end,L and brides that was the engine and tender, full of coal. The coal was weighed on the "cars���������between 23 and 24 tons of coal on each car. 'A car weighs between 9 and 10 tons. Had engine No. 4���������new engine. It is the largest one running on the line. I haven't seen it weighed. , It waa weighed at wharf. Mr. Beck* man and^endell are weighers., About quarter to 8 when we arrived at Trent river bridge- "I didn't see the' locomotive��������� go through the bridge. We were going vary slow, about as fast as a good fast walk. I thought it was time to get off. ' Heard, some, one scream. Of course I met Mr. Bell and Enoch Walker. I took' Miss Grieve out first, and Enoch 'lifted Hughey Grant on to the timber and he lay there quietly, and we' took Miss Home v out; then we got some blankets and rolled them up in them. Hugh v called for water to drink; then we swashed the wounds out. -A crowd of men came up from the wharf. I left for Union and met locomotive coming down; I went back to the wreck. I worked there for a couple of hours. Only the Japs and Mr. Nightingale ��������� were taken out'.,'when I was there. One of the Japti was lying right out. We were shovelling out from under the car. ' I mide no examination of the wreckage. I was on., the last car of coal. I turned round noticed something; looked around and saw the locomotive had gone 'through I saw 5 or 7 cars,.-, back- of the locomotive. ",I got off about 100 yards - off. I got ' off on the treaael. The trcssel at' this end is pretty long filled in within 2 feet of the top. Had no ^difficulty' iu getting oi? en to the tiesscl. TU,ere were' on the:^raiij,v,Alf/ Walker^ fireman Grant, Walter'Work, Grieve, Frances "Horde, Alex. Mellado, two Japs and myfcelf; "The engine duver was in charge of the train. Walker, Grant, Mellado, and myself were working on the train. The others���������two of them were going home���������Miss Home and Work- Miss Grieve was going down to the wharf intending to come back same day. Don't know about the Japs.' It has been lately quite customary for people, to go on these trains." .1 had no'.instructions from anybody about allowing people to ride on them. No notice on engine or any of the cars forbidding people to travel on them, or at the station or at wharf. Saw them 3 or 4 years 1 ago���������not seen them ��������� lately. ' Have been running over this road 17 months this last timer��������� thvee years and a half altogether. I don't know whether the bridge was ever inspected, nor if any precautions were ever taken. I thought the bridge was safe or I would not have gone over it. I think the cars are 30 feet long. Wheye I got off the cars, tressel was rilled from about two feet from the top. This, filling extends to within 75 to LOO feet of the span. I got off 75 yards from end of the fillsng in west end." - Gross-uxauimed.���������"I turned round had not heard the bridge break, but saw the engine was gone. I felt no particular jar or moLion before I turned round. I just ' turned round steped ou to wood at side of car and then on Lo the dirt. There were no brakes on, had no time to put on a brake. I have been in the employ of the Co,, sevoral years. I was not iu charge of tha train, and Mr, Little never gave me instructions. I have newr seen notice lately. I have seen them in the engine, these notices, some time ago there, not recontly at the wharf. Being accustomed to see them, I would not notice them. Don't know, the exact length of the cars. When the engine disappeared I should think it was going at 7 miles an hour, a good smart walk. I dida'c n<>tit:3 'sue cars wont any faster after the engine -disappeared.

The next witness waa Wm. Bell who testified as follows: r < "I veside in Union. I remember %he accident. I was at work .under,the^ bridge) A.s soon as I saw what was coming I told Niph [Enoch] to run. My reason for look- > ing after Walker was he was near sighted. Before I started to run, I was looking. The engine,had get to the centre of the span; it , had a string of cars following, aftcr'it, loaded. "I can't tell how many cars were on the < ".span. Th'- cars were'not uncoupled, from ��������� I saw . tho thini when 'it train came���������never heard brakes at all. As,, the engine was coming through I heard only the crackling'sound!

'{' said it was a cap���������I am not a bridge buttd- ' er or carpenter, but I use my., brains. \ never paid for passage; just jumped on. 1 never saw a notice, and I kpowv it is as a rule for all companies not to allow people to-'' travel on their trains.

' " < ��������� * TESTIMONY TO B_ CONTINUED. _t cracked and with a loud engine commenced to tall the . engine, commenced report the through. One"would ^\uk they were going aw tal cautious���������can't say any other way��������� and smoothly. None of the cars would leave the track. 1 suppose I would have seen it. I should think it would be only a few minutes before I returned, the engine was Mowing off steam. After I returned Matt Pier- cy gave the cry to come and give help. When I reached the spot where Piercy was hi says, 'Come on and give us help to get a girl out here.' Reaching oyer to give my assistance, I found he had her out in his arms. Then seeing everything so quiet hot calling for- help, Matt Piercy said, 'My God! are' they all dead?' I repeated the same words, and then I said 'I'll make my . way to the. section foreman, so if I could see him, I would make better headway by going to the wharf.' When Igot to the-wharf, . seeing Mr. Work,! told him of the accident and we came back to the bridge together. I made an examination of the wreck the day ' the jury waa there. I examined the timbers $nd th 1 span, and found out from the top to the bottom} looked at tbe breaks, examined the wood at the break.' What wasn't rot- ! ten out and out I should call a dry rot. I : Ic-lced. around the iron work and saw btvaks in the ro3s whicb connect the top aiMi bottoivxof i.hc span. They seemed to be clear breaks. The engine was lying on her sido, in the bottom, leading1 for thq. wharf, jm.t as she was on top. It seemed to me tho - tender was not in lino with her. The cars were heaped up at the back. The morning I was down t>ere, thero was ro*ten wood picked u������>. I should say it was a cap.���������some of the jury said it was a tie. The piece of timber was not there before the accident. ��������� Tho rotten stick was from two feet to two feet six inches lon^ crumpled up at each end; betSveen 12 to 14 inches one way.- and the other way I couldn't tell. T-was employed by Richard Nightinga'e to pull away the bxoakwater, to, build some piers or abutments. As far- as I could learn they were about to shorten the span. The water break was about I& inches from . the tressel, not incetfering" with it. The breakwater was., a log frame work filled with scone���������curb work. I have lived in Union nearly 12 months. I have, had occasion ti go to the wbarf once while Mr. . Nightingale was away. Generally gone to whart by coal train; some tunes on the engine and some times ou tlie cars. Never asked any permission at all; never was> ordered off the tr,ain. I have seen other people ou the train.

Tho most important sacred festival of tho Blackfcet Indians of tbe Alborta territory, Canada, is tho sun dance. It is usually instituted by a woman who has come ou$ of seme trial and is generally held in July and lasts seven days. Tho fuel of tho sacred flro is supplied exclusively by young men who have performed somo valorous deed, such as stealing horses. At such a ceremony, described by a writer, "a young man who had been successful In horse stealing came up tooffer himself asasacri- flce to the gods. An old medicine woman cub off one of his fingers, held.it np to the sun and dedicated it to him. One young man presented himself for admission to tho kaud of warriors, lie stretched him- solf on a blanket on the ground while four men held him and a fifth mado^ incisions. in his breast and back.

Thero aro no medical coll eyes, and" no examination tests o_is.fi to worry 'tho minds of tho future'practitioners. Ami noither are diplomas asked for or granted. v This unlimited liberty of- salouting an occupation has resulted in making tho Chinese medical profession very large, and' when tho Chinese start a business a Chinese- doctor is always included as one of tho partners, and lie acts as physician and apothecary for tlio linn: In China Chinese apothecaries, before they can curry on their business, must pans an examination ' and must exhibit a diploma iroin the examination board. , Medical study consists in ' mechanically learning tho old Chinese medical -works, and,"when possible, the inheritodknowlcdge of remedies all in accordance -with tho Chinoso maxim, "The older tho better."- r., ' When*a ���������'- vsickin has been unsuccessful, he retire-' di tho common Chinese adage that." tin 1 medicine for sickness, but' none for 1 ' " S01i.1ct.imcs an invalid will g'o.toadoJ and .'ask for<-ho%\Miiucb be -.will euro'In, "l and how soon the cure can _.he> performed. , Ho states tho diagnosis of his ca&o, tlie pulse-' is examined and every, other symptom investigated, when a bar-' gain is struck and a portion of tho"prica paid.

ORIGIN OF PANHANDLER. it ��� Its Invention Attributed to Mink Duien- lioffer of _b_ FnuaeJaco. - One of those slang words which, at first frowned upon, beoerne rrsflular and recognized individa���l* in the verbalcommunity because they'express something for wnioh there is no other adequate, expression, is the noun "panhandler," and its offshoot is thc verb "to panhandle." ' A number of letters have recently been received asking by what authority the word punhundk-r was used and whence it a_u:o.' Tho answer was that it established icsolf by authority of its being the only word to express that form cf ��� beggary which la characterized by tbe implied oructual throne of violence. As far the source of the word, tlie suggestion was m_de thai- a panhan-' dler is one who* ban ilea a pan or cu;i ot growler, eenaethiBg u_sd for carrying drinks." . - ~ Other eorraspendents objected to thitton the pround that i_ this oity, at leaai-, a growler is frequently called '"can" .or *' d nek'' or "* pitaher," tbu�� never a ' ��� pa ���.'' On shipboard the tem- pan might bo used in this sense, but panhandle is not a marine word.' A no the* suggestion waa that the word-came frem the wart whore tho tough tramps who follow the ,llDe^of tho Pun- handle' railroad are called panhandlers. From a California** who is visiting iu town' a Sun reporter got another version of .the word's origin. ��� ,' , "About., ten years ago," said the California n, "there was a ehap called Mink Diismhoffer in 8a��� Fruncisco who started a bar and '��ally.' a* ho called it, down near tho water front;.. His placo waa pretty tough, but ho had good things to eat.,'and the 'catTy* did a big ,bnsineaa. One night his cntirov force of waiters struck for higher wages und Mink turned 'em out. In their places he got agong of scatter iiiouohe3 and mulligrubberti that didn't know bean soup from charlotte mass,commonly ordered under the name jut' Charley Boss. Du- senhoffer und��*took to tmin 'om by disciplinarian inwtbods, chiefly enforced with a beer' mallet.' .On the third night thero were jQvo fLyhts in the place between customers and waiters; one man was shot and tho wholo gang' of recruits fell en Mink and broke hia bead. Then they .looted tho bar and got drunk. That:, night about. three dozen "people were held ,up in that part of tho city. -Minis put out a placard that read: u " ' Tho public Is wnraed against the Rant; of slush shngers. dish tiwabburn end punhaadlocs that leftiayplacM yesterday.

Every time there was an arrest for a hold up or assault during the next month tho word went along tho water front: " 'There's another of Slink's panhandlers.
