TERRIBLE RAILWAY DISASTER; THIRTY-SIX KILLED. A west-bound passenger train has been wrecked near Hyack Station, in the Rocky Mountains. An east-bound freight train backed out of a switch, and 18 cars laden with shingle broke from the rear end on a steep gradient on one of the foothrlls of the Rockies, and ran down 16 miles to Nyack, 40 miles from Kalispell (Montana), and dashed into the rear of the passenger train, which was just pulling out of the station, smashing the rear coaches to atoms. The last car of the pas- senger train was a special occupied by Mr. Downs, assistant general superintendent of the CJreat Northern (Railway. lhe next car contamed 4G of the company's Scandinavian labourers from Duluth. Thirty-three of the latter were killed, and all the others were injured. Mr. Downs, his son, and his cook were killed. The debris caught fire immediately after the collision, and Mr. Downs's ear was quickly destroyed, the bodies of the occupants being cremated. The flames then spread to the ruins of the next car, and cremated the bodies of 28 Scandinavians. The third car was also burned, but the inmates escaped. None of the passengers were injured.
