Cars Into Dry Bed of the Stream Below Wreckage Caught Fire H Passenger Train Had Preceded th Freight, as Usual, Disaster Would Have Been Greater. Three men were killed In the wreck of a freight train at Mineral Springs, live miles west of Hamilton, Out, early Sunday morning. The dead are: Engineer McFadden, Fireman Brown and W. Malinoy, a companion of Fireman Brown. The freight train was en route from Waterford, Ont., to Hamilton on the Toronto, Hamilton and Buffalo rail voud. Fires along the railroad have been numerous owing to the exceed ingly dry weather, so that when smoke was seen around the bridge at Mineral Springs no particular atten tion was paid to II. When the train was almost upon the bridge It was seen that the heavy wooden supports of the structure were burning fiercely. It was too late to bring the train to a standstill and the three men could do nothing but sit still and hope thut enough was loft of the bridge to carry the train. The eng'ne was almost across when the structure gave way, carrying half a dozen freight cars into the dry bed of the stream b 'low. The wreckage caught fire and burned all day. The bodies of the three men have not been recovered. Vlrakeninn Samuel Dlckerson and (inductor Martin were slightly hurt. Diekersori was on the sixth car from the engine when the bridge gave way. The Jolt threw him to the ground be fore the car reached the opening. The rear brakemnn walked back to Summit Htatlon and flagged a passen ger train also bound for Hamilton. Had the passenger train preceded the freight, as it usually does, the loss of life would have been great. The heat from the burning wreck age was so great that the wrecking crew could do nothing until a fire en gine was sent from Hamilton to their aid. It is unlikely that anything re mains of the bodies of the three vic tims In the ashes of the wreck. JOHN D. AS AN AUTHOR. Writes For Magazine His Reminis cences of Men and Events. John D. Rockefeller appears for the first time in the rolo of an author, in a series of articles on "Some Random Reminiscences of Men and Events." .Mr. Rockefeller, among other things, says: "It has been said I forced the men who became my partners in the oil business to Join with me. 1 would not have been so short-sighted. If it were true that I followed such tactics, I ask would It have been possible to niake of such men life-long compan ions? For fourteen years I have been out of business and in eight or ten years have only once gone to the com pany's oflice." Further on he snys: "Another thing to be remembered about the so-called 'Octopus' is that there has been no 'water' introduced into the capital (perhaps we felt that oil and water would not have mixed); nor in all these years has anyone had to wait for money which the Standard owed. It Is a common thing to hear people say that this company has crushed out Its competitors. Only the uninformed could make such an asser tion. It has always had and always will have hundieds of active competi tors. Mr. Rockefeller recalls what he said at an official heurlng, that " if I were to suggest any legislation regarding an industrial commission it would be: first federal legislation under which corporations may be created and reg ulated, if thut be possible; second, In lieu thereof, state legislation as near ly uniform as possible, encouraging combinations of persons and capital for the purpose of carrying on Indust ries, but sulllcient to prevent frauds upon the public." Mr. Rockefeller also Rays: "I am an investor In many American enterprises, but a controller of none (with one exception and that a com pany which has not been much of a dividend payer) and I, like all the rest, am dependent upon the honest and ca pable administration of the Indus rles." Travelers' Home Company Dissolved. Justice Lyon at Ilinghamton has granted an order dissolving the Commercial Travelers' Home as sociation or America.

In his speech before a crowd that completely filled the hall the governor said in part: "We are devoted to a line of pro gress, straight-forward, honorable ad ministration above every selfish ad vantage, against every attempt to ex ploit the people for private Interest. We are devoted to the public welfare in establishing the stability of honest enterprise. We serve the republic be cause that through It these things can be accomplished. In the heat and tur moil of a political campaign It Is im portant that we should preserve a new and proper sense of proportion. "We are considering the choice ol the chief magistrate of the people. We are considering whom we shall elect to that office of vast power and responsibility, being in the honor of Its distinction,' the possibilities of Its Influence, the variety of its obligation, unrivalled among the great offices on the face of the earth." The speaker argued that the elec tion of Bryan would mean business disaster and depression. On the oth er hand he said the election of Taft meant a continuation of the Roosevelt policies, which, he said, have for sev en years kept the United States In the pah of prosperity, and he declared his belief that the people of this country are so pleased with the Roosevelt administration that they will vote for the man for president who stands for the same Ideals. Governor Hughes was given an ova tion at the close of his speech. lie was driven at once to his train and left for South Bend, Ind. HARDIE JARS LOYAL CANADA.

By this wife he has had seven children, three of whom accompanied him on the present trip. When an immigration inspector ask ed Bosnian who the women were who accompanied him he said: "They are my wives," and added, "I have three more in Hongkong."

Bosnian says he is a friend of Mr. Taft and entertained him In Hong kong. Tie is also a close friend of Wu Ting Fang. He says he will bring powerful pressure to bear on the government to get a permit to land. He has half a score of servants. LONG DROUGHT AT LAST BROKEN.
