A suburban train, containing workmen was ran into by a freight train coming east. Ten persons, chiefly men employed at the bolt works, are said to be killed. LATES. . A "frightfnl accident occurred on the division of the Grand Trunk railroad this morning, whereby some twenty persons were killed outright, and a -large number injured. The accident was o&used by a freight train running into the rear end of the stationary suburban passenger train. The victims were nearly all Cana dians. STILL LAT«B. Tobonio, Jan. —One of the moat har rowing calamities that has happened in this neighborhood for a iong time oc curred here this forenoon on the Grand Trunk railway. A suburban train left the union station at 6:40. A ear attached was filled with employes of the bolt works, who live in this city and are conveyed to ■ their daily labor by this means, the train stopping for them opposite the works. After turning a curve at Parkdale boua dary a freight train was observed coming from the city warfl, bnt the impetus of both trains was too maoh to allow the brakes to do their duty in time, and the result was a fearful smashup, ending in a shocking tragedy. Nineteen men em ployed at ■ the bolt works are reported killed and twenty or thirty wounded. The conductor of the freight train, George Barber, is said to be respon sible for ths acoident as he was running his train without orders. He has been ar rested. The last accounts place the number of dead at twenty-seven and several are in jured so badly they are not expeoted to recover. An inquest is being held this afternoon, and a jury was impanelled, who viewed the bodies. The affair casts a gloom over the city. The wounded are lying in the hospital and several do ctora are giv ing them every attention. An eye wit ness describes the scene at the wreck aa heart rending in the extreme. The muti- , lated bodies, the groans of the dying and the phrieks of the wounded were enough to appal ths strongest. The newspaper of fice-; are crowded with citizens eagerly awaiting bulletins. Among the killed are G. A. Gates, W. Eletrfer, C. Spohuer, A. Lynoh, P. Mulli gan, A. W. Harrigau, J. MoDonald,J. Row lett, W. Harris, C. Robinson and C. Can nington. Among the wounded in the hos pital, lying between life and death are: W. Fitzgerald, R. Carruthera, H. C. Khera, W. Rogers, and Fred Burnton. The last two cannot live. C McDonald, John Lynoh, Jamas Kelley, A. Banks, Hugh Ccmuißgham, E. R. Bailey, Palmer Norton, Johti Oarrigan. A majority of these are nnconscious, and the doctors cannot say how many will survive. Friends of the families are surrounding the hospital and the morgue, and the ecenes are of the most heart rending description. Several of the killed leave wives and families. One of the most frightful railroad acci dents that ever occurred in Canada took place this morning at five minutes to 7. About fifteen minutes previously the sub urban train, consisting of a dummy en gine and two cars on the Great Western division of the Grand Trunk, left the union station, having on board about sixty pas sengers, chiefly employes of the Bolt and Iron works at the Huaaber, who are resid ing in the city and who were going to their work. Each was happier than the other, and although the weather was pierc ingly cold, and a gale blowing the snow against the car windows, the merry crowd did not heed it as they told HOW THEY HAD SPENT THS NEW YEAB'S. On rounding a sharp curve, just before reaching the Bolt works, the engineer saw a freight train coming thundering down grade towards him. He reversed the en gine, blew warning, and with the firem an jumped for his life. The conductor heard the warning and shouting "JUMP, BOY 3, FOB YOUB LIVH3," sprang into the snow. In a second more there was a terrifio crash. The engine of the freight train knocked the boiler of the dummy clear through the first car, crush ing the unfortunate passengers in every direction, and pinning many to the floor. The impetus was so great that the engine actually mounted the track of the dummy, which kept the rails and remained on a balance. The oogiaeer of the freight train, when he saw the inevitable,sprang from the ec^ino,but Thomas, THE FIBEMAJI WAS KILLED INSTANTLY. To add to the horror of the ecane the boiler of the dummy exploded, and the Bteam and boilioj; water scalded and car ried death or terrible injuries to the mangled and bleeding men. Then the fire, as if maddened at the other agencies clutching bo many victims, broke out, and completed the BIOKENING WOBK OP DISTBUOTIOM. Shrieks and heart rending cries for help from the agonized sufferers rent the air. Several poor fellows, Buffering untold agonies, with their limbs and bodies burst to a crisp, pitiouily implored ; those near them to pour water upon their scalded limbs, or put an end to their suf ferings. Strong men looked on appaled, and many an eye was dim j with tears. Erery possible phase ef disfigarement was to be seen. The limbs were out, braised, mingled and half ■ '.' "- ■ ATE* AWAY BY THE FISX. or rwollen to enormous size by tho steam and water. Hothinf more horrible could be left to imagination, and no more awful scene could be witnessed. The patseager car was a terrible wreok, and several hoars elapsed before the poor fellows buried be neath the debris could be extricated. A relief party of thirty or forty men were soon on the scene,and they at onoa set to work slowly and tenderly, to resoae the saffor ers, and about 10 o'clock a car LOAD OF THB DKAD AND IJfJtJBKD. were on their way to the city. On ar riving at the union station, wagons and several cabs and busses were in waiting. A large crowd had gathered, and as one after another of the dead and wounded were carried from oar to the conveyance, many turned sick at the sight. The wounded men bore their sufferings with fortitude and patience, a few groans being the only indication of their intense agony. The eoene at the morgue beggars descrip tion. There were fifteen bodies laid out side by side in rowe, and on the opposite side of the ro»m were the SCOXHXBS, SISTEBS, FATHIBS and brothers to be seen passing from body to body, and with, treiabling hands lifting the coverlet to gaze upon the faces of the dead. Now and again a cry of anguish would tell too plainly cf the discovery of some de>*r one, oarried off in the prime ef manhood. At the hospital on tha arrival »f the wounded, the doctors immediately set to work sewiug up the wounds, and they did all in thei; power to alleviate the eufar iags of ths unfortunate men. One man, John Bowlett, died shortly after his arrival at the hospital. When found smong the debris he spoke oheerfally, and asked t« be allowed to walk. On loekingdown he oried "OH GOD, MI LKG9 ABKOFF," aad so they were—burnt off. Coroner Lynd empaneled a jary, who viewed the bodies, and then adjourned till five •'clock, when they af aim met. Some evidence was taken and a farther adjournment made Barber, the conductor of the freight train was immediately placed under arrest. He admitted he got orders at Hamilton te ran to the Qaeen'i wharf, Toronto, avoiding all regular traias. He leoked at the time table, bat ferf ot the suburban train on the list of regular trains, hence the aeeident. Vublie sympathy is thoroughly aroused for the in fortunate widows aad children.

The High Water and lea Causes the Loss of i the Tow Beat Barton, and Part of H«r ■ Tow—Four Ken Drowned—L,oi» $75,000. ( Pittsbubg, Jan. 2.— accident oc curred, at Davis island dam, nine miles from this city, at two o'clock this morn iag, by which one man is > known to have lost his life while three others probably perished, as they are still missing. Shortly after midnight; the tow boats I. N. Burton and John T. Case left the city with tows for the lower ports. Their progress was slow owing to : the ice and a strong current. When Davis island was reached, tha boats lost control of the tows, and swung against the sooth ] pier. Three of the boats sank at once. 'The i Case drifted to the. head of Neville ,•;■ island, -.where •- she lodged. «. The Burton was not so fortunate: % The shook of the collision threw the fire from under her boilers, and . in two minutes she was burning in a dozen places. A scene of the utmost confusion followed. The crew, numbering twenty men, becume panic stricken, and several jumped overboard. About midway between the dam and Neville i«lr.nd the boat ca reened and went d?*n in aY allow water. The Case not having been injured, put oat her yawl and succeeded in picking up six teen of the Burton's crew, and the other four missing. Shortly afterward the body of Engineer Underwood was picked " up. It is possible the three still missing man aged to make the shore, but up to noon today they had not reported Their names are Frank Young, Alvis Bev ington, deck hands, and Gastavn3 Alten hans,cook, and are all young and unmar ried. Engineer Underwood leaves a wife aad five children. The Burton is a total loss, and was owned by Burton & Co. of this city, and was valued at $25,000, and .loaded with coal. The boats sunk are val ued at $25,000, making a total loss of $50,000. No insurance. The accident is attributed to the neglect to have the government signals lighted. The signals are required oa tr.e look wall and d:un, and if this precaution had not been n#gleoted the pilots would have no diffi culty holding their tows between . lights. When the Burton arrived within the usual distance of the dam, at which the lights are supposed to be visible, the outlook was unable to distinguish any more than one light, which he discovered &ft«rw&rds to be on the look, and it was then too lato to tie up or even to prevent the tow from driftiag, each was the force of the ice capped cur rent, and the boats went crushing against the pier. As nothiag has been heard from the missing men it is supposed they have perished. The men who went down with the steam er J.N. Burton this morning are, still missing, and the hope that they were res cue* has been abandoned. Two left the wreok on a log and are suppo«ed to have fallen off,;;-, j -v, .■;.: -.: ■ ■■■■•'••-.••■■ .v.\ -' OTHER ACCIDENTS. A JNctn JHaattwr—Hioe Lief* L»Bt. ; THE HTT«ON DAM ACCIDENT. .

PROVISIONS AND LIVE STOCK. A Slight Improvement in the Wall Street Share Market. CHICAGO. [Special Telegram to the Globe. J Chicago, Jan. 2.—The holiday season has ended, and the members of the board of trade aseembled for basiness thia morn ing. The orders from the oat side were large aad apparently about evenly divided, which gave an appearance of activity which has not been seen for some days. Cables and advices from New York and St. Louis had no ef fect upon prices, wiioh were governed solely by the local operators. Their ac tion, however, was to a certain extent in fluenced by the report of stocks on hand here, which were posted as, wheat, 11,800, --415 bnfthels, corn, 2,580,984, oats, 1,481,417, rye, 1,590,872, bßrley, 365,354, being an mi i crease during the week of 384,235 of wheat and 517,000 of corn—more wheat and less com than was anticipated. Erery one seemed to be sellers at the start and wheat took a tumble of %% then rallied and closed Ja@l^o lower than on Monday's close. The May option was the most active and early large lines were sold, N. B. Ream and Nat Jones being the heaviest operators. DariDg the ses sion there was one sale made at $I.ol^ and the highest point reached was $1.02%. The bears are again taking 85 oents for wheat on the crop. The deliveries on January contraots were large, but they did not develop any influence upon prioes, as they all seemed to get into one pot, the carriers'. The outside orders and a general feeling of buoyancy pervading' the corn pit at the opening fixed prices higher than they closed on Monday, but large orders to sell and the utter demoralization of the mar ket for January, sent the , market down, \ January 2%@2^0, February 2@2}£c, and May l^o below the opening. ; There were very large lines closed out, and the bears had it all their own own way far a while. May sold down to 57 } no, and January to 54c and a few trades at 53; 8 0. It then be came known that Schwartz & Dapae were taking and paying for all the corn that came to their office on January contracts, and the feellag changed." The market rapidly advanced, January 2%0, February 2o and May l^o, and at ; 1 o'clock *losed %a higher for January, lower for February and unchanged for May in com parison with, the dosing flgmts |ou Mob day.' On the call corn, 1 wen*\ %o, l(e higher . and closed firm. Daring the day the deliveries were moderate, and if any one had .any doabts a boat the existence of a corner in. Jan nary corn and its: control by a clique sack doubts must have been dis pelled not only by the action of Sohwartz , k Dapree, but the movement! of others. For instance, parties having 50,000 or 100,000 bushels of corn coming to them would receive only 5,000 or 10,000 bushels. Crittenien & Harvey tersely write: "We advise buying corn on all declines." Said a broker: "Had it mot been for the weak ness of wheat, oorn would have ndvanoed to-day." A. R. Bliss was one of the larg est buyeis on the break. Only 6,000 hogs to-day, and good pack ing weather, and packers were forced to pay 20@25c advanne. The provision side of the house opensned the year's business with an advance all around in pork pro ducts. Advices from the east showed but little change, while foreign advices quoted pork 23 higher and lard 3d higher. Feb ruary and May pork opened with an ad vance of s@7>£o and gradually went up 15@200 more. Under heavy offerings and in sympathy with grain the market went off, but finally rallied and closed qcite firm. Lard followed in the same line. Short ribs are comparatively neg lected. There seems to be a very wide difference of opinion in regard to the stock on band, and hence there is a good deal of wariness on the part of specula tors. On the curb to-night there is a better feeling than has characterized that depart ment of trade for some time. Still the bears are quite confident of seeing 850 wheat and 5t cent corn between now and May. There was no ohange in the flour market worthy notice, shippers were not buying. The stock of flour in Chicago is reported at 62,427 barrels against 43,936 one month ago, and 90,217 barrels one year ago. Railroad agents report freights steady on the basis of 600. flour, 30c. grain, and 35c. provisions. At the stock yards the receipts of cat tle were light and the demand active. The prices paid were considerably higher than on Monday, and ought not to be taken as tha Current rates, as for instance if there had been 6,txx> to-day instead of 2,500 it is morally certain prices would not have ruled bo high. About all the receipts yesterflaj and to-day were quickly bought up, buyers complain ing that there were not sufficient on sale to make up their orders. Upon the extra ordinary light run of hogs prices seemed to advance by leaps and jumps, many claiming the advance sines Monday, taking the quality into consideration, which was generally poor, was 20 @ 30c, some claiming 40c higher, but shippers should pay little or no heed to this ad vance, as it was brought about by the light receipts only. There were but two packers buying daring the morning and had there been 20,000 instead of 5,000 there would have been no advance. Shippers and speculators bought about all the arrivals, and about all were sold at an early hour. It wae an excited and Ftimnlated market, and should in no wise iuflaence the a try shipper, who at thi3 particular period should keep well posted. Chicago JFinanci 'I. 18»ecial Telegram to the Globe.

The moat notable fea ture was a drop in Erie second mortgage bonds to 88. Union Paoifis was thorough ly demoralized, selling down to G9>tf. Un ion Pacific preferred was an exception. It opened firm and was so soaroe for de livery that 1.64 was paid for it* use. It was reported that the Chicago, Burlington & Quincy officials denied positively the statement that they were to build to St. Paul. This, coupled with the belief that there would not be any rate cutting by the lowa line in any event stiffening prices, Northwestern recovering from HGj-a to 118. After these flurries the markat became quiet. Union Pacific appears to be heavily oversold. Boston parties bought the stock to-day. They were also purchasers when it was 85 above. The tone was quite firm at the last, with prices up to the best figures of the day in most cases. Pullman sold at 113%@114. Denver &, Rio Grande earnings during the fourth week of De cember increased $24,000. Extensive cov ering by the shorts helped the upward movement at the finish.

BODY SNATCHING. The Body of an Old I.s««ly, Stolen from a Sycamore Cemetery, Found in a Chicago ■Dissecting Room. [Special Telegram to the Globe. 1 Chicago, Jan. 2 —The detectives had been busy for the past week in the en deavor to bring to light a matter that is always horrifying to the general public, the discovery of a body stolen from its grave. Mrs. Hoy t, a lady aged about 72, died at Sycamore, 111., about the 20 th of December last. A few days later it was discovered by the relatives that the body had been stolen. The matter was at once placed in the hands of Sheriff Wood, with iastruclioas to spare neither time nor money -in hunting | the guilty parties, flo at once oamo to Chicago, and the matter was placed by him in the hands of the Turtle detective agency, and men sent to Sycamore. . It was then learned that ob the 22d, a whisky barrel, emitting an offensive odor, wad shipped from Syca more, and was traced to the Morthwestern depot, in this city, when all trace of it was lost. There the same offensive odor • was noticed, and the officer* continued.their search. Tester day Sheriff Wood came to this city, and Detective EUrtman was taken into the case. Hartmaa and the sheriff were seen around the armory and all of the jastices' offices yeiterday afternoon in search of a justice to issue a search warrant, but with out suooees, and the complaint was at last left in Justice Lyon's ofßoe.

Having no papers or authority to remove the body the officers left, and a telegram was sent^to the dead woman's ftianda to come and identify the remains. A reporter waited on Mr. Turtle (shortly alter noon. He at first denied all knowledge of the case, but • • finally acknowledged they were at work on it. "The arresis will be made and the body recovered to day, he said.. "as we are about to swear out warrants at once for the arrest of the officers of the college. We have a sure case against them and are positive the body seen at the college last night was that of Mrs. Hoyt." Further th«n that he would not say, as he remarked he didn't want the case published until after the ar rests had been made. Deteotive Hartman was also seen: "If there is such a case here I don't know it, and if I did know it I would not tell yon until after the arrests are all made," he said. CLOTHING. Seven Mnndred in round numbers, about represents our stock ©f WINTER OVERCOATS on hand to-day. We hard ly expect to sell every one of these gar meats this season, yet with the prices we are now offering them at, we cer tainty ought to dispose of the majority of them. Of coarse, each Overcoat we sell represents a straight MOSEY LOSS to us; but we had much rather sell an Overcoat SOW, and get the cash for it, even though we do it at a loss, than carry any over until next season, partly because we need the room and partly because we need the money. Therefore, we say that if there is any man in this 31 orthwest who needs now, or ever will need, an Overcoat, we can make it worth his while to step in and examine our goods and hear a few prices.
