MORRIEL (Orillia) Yesterday when the afternoon train from Midland drew into the station here, among the passengers who alighted were Charles Hebden.his brother, and a Frenchman named Philip Morriel. They made their way up town, Morriel stopping at the Oriental Hotel. In the evening the Hebdens came around with the intention, according to their threats, of giving the Frenchman a thrashing, but were promptly expelled by the proprietor of the hotel. The train left at 9 o'clock, all being aboard and somewhat the worse of liquor. Arriving at Flesherton about fifteen miles north of here, their place of residence, they alighted. The train had hardly moved out when the Hebdens attacked Morriel, Charles knocking him down with a pair of skates he had strapped together. A man named Thomas Cartmall, who witnessed the affair, tried to interfere but was also knocked down, but only slightly hurt. The Hebdens kicked; Morriel's face and body almost to a jelly and left him for dead. In a few moments, however, he arose and walked to his boarding house about a quarter of a mile distant. He told them that the

Hebdens had been trying to kill him but they couldn't kill a Frenchman. Dr. Hanly of Waubashene was immediately sent for, but arrived only a few minutes before he died, about four hours after he had been beaten. The Hebdens were arrested and brought to the Ryan House, Coldwater. An inquest is being held on the body of the deceased.

He leaves a brother and sister in Quebec who have been telegraphed for. It is rumoured that there is a woman at the botton of the affair.

MARKLE On Friday, January 4, Mrs. Elizabeth Markle, relict of the late Jacob Markle of Millgrove, died at the residence of her son-in-law, Richard Carey, of East Flamborough. She was born in Prince Edward County on Christmas Day, 1800, and therefore had entered on the 89th year of her life. Her father, the late Edward Ryckman, was a U.E. Loyalist who shortly after the revolutionary war settled on the shores of the Bay of Quinte where he remained until 1811 when he removed to West Flamborough and settled near what is now known as the Ryckman homestead. In 1821 she was married to Jacob Markle and shortly afterward removed to Zorra, Oxford county, where they remained some two years after which they returned and settled near the present village of Millgrove. In those early times there were no settlers back of this place, she and her husband being the second family to settle in the neighbourhood. Here she remained until age and infirmity rendered it necessary for her to make her future home with her eldest daughter, Mrs. Richard Carey, where she remained until her death. During her stay there she was made a welcome guest and every care and comfort which loving hands could bestow were freely and cheerfully given. All the members of the family now living were present at the last illness.

Having lived during the whole of the present century she was an eye-witness of many of the stirring events which have since become historical, notably those connected with the war of 1812-14 and the Mackenzie rebellion. Possessed of a retentive memory and excellent powers of description she frequently entertained her friends with thrilling recitals of many of these incidents. Her reminiscences of early pioneer life with its accompanying hardships were in strong contrast with the comforts and luxuries of many of her descendants. She lived to see what was once an unbroken forest become the home of a thrifty and industrious people over whose destinies she wielded a great influence for good. Millgrove has lost her oldest inhabitant and the people showed the respect in which she was held by the concourse that assembled to pay her a last tribute of respect. Thus the ties that bind us to the race of hardy pioneers who first hewed out their homes in the forest are gradually being broken as we lay one after another of these aged people to rest.

BLAKELY (Trenton) On Wednesday night amid the tragic accessories of ice, storm, and darkness, at the very doorstep of safety, was enacted a drama of despair and death that resembles a tale of suffering upon the high seas. Between midnight and dawn cries from the bay had once or twice been heard above the tempest by people living on the Belleville road, but in the darkness and ice jam, a boat could not be launched. Early on Thursday morning when the storm had lulled, shouts brought Charles Bousall to the shore. He put out in a skiff and rowed to a mass of ice that had drifted near the land. Upon It he found two men. One lay dead near the centre of the mass. A circle around the body showed the track worn by the other to keep himself from perishing with cold. He had barely succeeded. The mouth of the dead man was open. He had died in the act of calling for help. Exposure

had killed him. The body was without boots, hat, or coat.

These two men were fishermen, father and son. Their name is Blakely. They had gone on Wednesday evening to their fish house a little building large enough for two men to stand crouched or lie curled about a fire within it. They seem to have had no fear that the storm would break up the ice, and when the jam struck their fish house, the old man was lying in the partially dressed state his body was found in. It took all his activity to save himself from being drowned and he was only able to leave the fish house by his son's help. Thus began the night of terrible suffering. Their clothes were saturated, the temperature freezing and the wind threatened to blow them into the water. Successive patches of ice went to pieces under them or drifted away from them as they approached the shore. At last the old man gave out and lay down. The son kept moving, but his father never got up again. He leaves a large family.

The woman was arrested on Saturday, charged with the larceny of a sheet from Edwin Harris's lodging house on Bay street where she had been staying for several days and also for stealing a shawl and Jersey jacket from Hugh Daley. All day Sunday she complained about feeling unwell and wanted the constable on station duty to get her some laudanum. When she was arraigned before the police magistrate on Monday morning the prosecutor asked for an enlargement and she was remanded to jail until yesterday. Her death necessitated the dismissal of the case when it was called. The unfortunate woman was in the jail before, about four years ago at which time she gave the name of Eliza Brown. Governor Ogilvie remembered the woman more particularly because she had a craving for laudanum. When she was brought there Monday she said she was sick and wanted laudanum. The governor refused to give her any, but he telephoned to Dr. Rosebrugh, the jail surgeon, who prescribed an opiate for her. The prisoner appeared to be greatly excited and the matron, Miss Robinson, visited her frequently during the afternoon and evening. She repeatedly asked for laudanum and told the matron that she had been taking it for fourteen years. Miss Robinson locked the woman up in a cell, leaving Anne Johnston, another prisoner, in charge of her with instruct-

ions that she should visit her during the night. The Johnston woman saw the deceased about 12 o'clock and she was alive then. Shortly before 3 o'clock, Jane McCullough, who occupied the adjoining cell, heard the unfortunate woman crying for laudanum and threatening to hang herself before morning. After that she moaned several times and than all was quiet. Dublin Jane afterwards fell asleep. When she awoke she told Annie Johnston that she thought the woman was dead as she had not heard her moving about. The matron opened the cell about 6:45 and found her dead. She was lying on the bed with one foot on the floor and had a handkerchief tied tightly around her neck. Her face was only slightly discoloured. The deceased was about 52 years old.

He had on at that time his pants, socks, and underclothing only. He called at house some distance off and borrowed a hat, coat, and boots. This was the last seen of him until his dead body was found this morning.

The St. Louis fast express composed of five cars left the track immediately after crossing the switch at St. George station and tore across the high bridge just east of the station at a terrific speed on the ties. The engine and two cars got over safely, but the first-class coach, parlour car, and dining car went through the bridge and were wrecked. A frightful wreck occurred, resulting in the death of nine people, many of them prominent Canadians, and the wounding of twenty-nine others.

MITCHELL (Rothsay) Mrs. Thomas Mitchell, while attending the Presbyterian tea meeting in this place this evening appeared in her usual health. Suddenly she fell down apparently in a faint and expired a few minutes afterward.

MARSHALL (Watford) A fearful tragedy occurred last night after the service in the Methodist church on the second line of Warwick North. Miss Sarah Marshall had just come out from the church accompanied by a friend of hers when Albert Wilson came up and asked if she would come home with him, and she answered "Not to-night". He then drew a revolver saying "Take that" and fired, the bullet striking her in the head and killing her instantly. He immediately made off in the excitement and set fire to a straw stack adjoining a barn nearby so as to draw off the attention from his tracks. Numbers of people have been out in all directions but have failed to track him.

It appears that Wilson who shot and killed Miss Marshall last night after church had been wishing to keep company with her, but that she had never appreciated his company and that after frequent attempts to accompany her which were always unsuccessful, he became exasperated and threatened that she would keep company with no one else unless she did with him, but nothing much was thought of this at the time as Wilson was a quiet and industrious fellow. It appears that he had purchased the revolver with which he did the deed in Watford about a month ago, and as he had made the threat it is supposed that it was with that intent that it was procured. Miss Marshall was a young woman respected and esteemed by all who knew her. As soon as Wilson fired the shot he made off, but was followed by one of the party for a considerable distance, but Wilson turned on him and threatened to shoot him too. So far he has evaded arrest but a party answering to his description was seen making his way westward this afternoon for the American frontier, but it is thought he will not be able to cross over, as all ports are closely watched and large numbers are out in search for him. A coroner's jury has been empanelled and is now taking evidence in the case.

DAVIS Died in this city, on March 12, Jonathan Davis, youngest son of the late Jonathan Davis of Saltfleet. Funeral from his late residence, No 194 Main street east, on Friday, March 11, at 3 o'clock p.m.

Jonathan Davis, secretary of the board of directors of the central fair and licence inspector for South Wentworth, died very suddenly between 10 and 11 o'clock yesterday morning at his residence, 191 Main street east. Two or three days ago Mr. Davis complained to his physician, Dr. Wilson, of a numb sensation in his arm, but this symptom was not considered serious enough to warrant any alarm. Yesterday he complained about feeling unwell shortly after he had arisen and rapidly grew worse until between 9 and 10 o'clock. Dr. Wilson was sent for, and on arriving, found Mr. Wilson in a critical condition. He died shortly after 10 o'clock. The cause of his death was heart disease.

Mr. Davis was about 55 years old. He was born in the township of Saltfleet and lived there nearly all his life, for many years managing the old homestead farm. He was the youngest of the family, a family by the way which is Canadian as few Ontario families are, for Mr. Davis's father and grandfather were both residents of this country. James G. Davis and Samuel Davis of this city are his brothers, and there are three sisters, two of whom are married. The deceased gentleman operated the homestead farm until six or seven years ago when he sold out and moved into the city and lived here with his unmarried sister ever since. Mr. Davis never married. When the Crooks act came into operation he was appointed licence inspector for South Wentworth and held that office until his death. For many years also he was the efficient secretary of the central fair board. A more scrupulous painstaking, and conscientious official than Mr. Davis proved to be would be impossible to name. He had many friends and deserved to have, for he was not only courteous to all, but his courtesy was of the quality which springs from kindness of heart. Mr. Davis was a gentleman by instinct. He will be mourned by many.

LAPINE (Quebec) Leo Lapine, coach builder, was found dead in bed this morning, aged 22. He had been out in good health apparently, last evening.

Pierce Bowen, who lives in the city, rose early this morning, took his razor, and went to the basement where he cut his throat and bled to death. Another tenant heard him groan and summoned assistance but too late. Bowen was once a well-off merchant, but met with reverses and came down in the world. It is supposed he was suffering from despondency when he committed suicide, due partly to disappointed expectations.

Since Christmas he has been ailing although he was well enough to be around and attend to his work at the market.

He was around as usual Saturday morning but did not go to work. About noon he went into his bedroom, After he had been there for some time a member of the family went in and found him lying on his back on the floor with the blood gushing from a wound in his throat.

MONDIA (Niagara Falls) A very distressing accident occurred at 9 o'clock this morning in connection with the rebuilding of the new suspension carriage and foot bridge at the falls whereby an Italian employee named Carmine Mondia lost his life. The unfortunate man who was at work on the Canadian portion of the structure was carrying out a box of bolts to the riveters. He stepped on the end of one of the iron needle beams about the centre of the river when his foot slipped and down went the poor fellow a distance of 190 feet, turning two complete somersaults in the descent and striking the water feet first. It was a few seconds before the body reappeared on the surface of the water. When it did, blood was plainly seen coming from different parts of it. Some of those present who witnessed the terrible fall claim that after he rose to the surface he made an attempt to swim, but was seemingly so exhausted that he was carried down out of sight in one of the eddies near where he struck the water. His clothes were plainly seen torn in shreds by the terrific force with which his body struck the water. F. Lablonde who was in a rowboat at the 'Maid of the Mist' landing was signalled by the unfortunate man's fellow workers on the bridge, but before Lablonde could reach the body with his boat, it had sunk not to rise again until it passed through the whirlpool rapids, and no doubt will be found at the whirlpool in due time. The poor fellow was employed in the construction of the bridge which was blown down by the cyclone on January 13 last. He also worked on the railway suspension bridge when the woodwork of that structure was replaced with iron four years ago. He arrived in the neighbourhood from Salerno, Italy, where all his relatives reside about six years ago. He was 25 years of age and was looked upon as a steady, industrious, and careful young man.

Henry Bickford, mayor of Dundas, died Wenesday evening. He was taken sick about April 15 with erysipelas of the face and head and latterly it turned to congestion of the lungs. He died at 9:50. Mr. Bickford was elected mayor of Dundas after having served a term as reeve in January, 1888. He was elected by acclamation last January. In 1886 he was nominated by the Liberal-Conservatives to contest North Wentworth for the local house, but was compelled to retire from the fight on account of the press of business. He was a member of the school board for six or seven years. He was a member of the Masonic order and occupied at various times high offices in the gift of the brethren. He was a faithful and conscientious member of St. James church, always ready to do all in his power for the interest of the church.

The following sketch of his life is from the "Canadian Manufacturer". Henry Bickford of the firm of Messrs S. Lennard, Sons, & Bickford, proprietors of the Dundas Knitting Mills, Dundas, Ontario, was born in the city of London, England, March 2, 1843, and at an early age was taken by his parents to the town of Newton-Abbott in the county of Devon where, he received his scholastic preparation for life under the tuition of the Rev. John N. Lightfoot, M.A., the present rector of Moreton, Hampstead, in that county. Having tried farming for some time he thought to improve his fortunes by removing to London, but not being satisfied with intermural life, determined to visit the Great Lakes region of Canada and sailed for this country in 1867.

Arriving in Canada, Mr. Bickford soon found employment as a ‘white-winged angel of commerce' and for a couple of years was a commercial traveller for a large wholesale grocery concern in Toronto. In 1869 he became book-keeper and manager for the firm of N & E. Rooney, of Toronto, where he continued until the dissolution of that concern in 1877. At this time a fine business opportunity was presented to him by the town of Dundas, Ontario, and to that place he went to become a partner in the firm of S. Lennard, and Sons, now so familiarly

known to the wholesale dry goods trade of the whole Dominion as S. Lennard, Sons, and Bickford, probably the oldest and largest manufacturers of hosiery in Canada, the firm being the patentee of what is known to the trade as "Elysia" seamless hosiery.

By his education and Natural instincts, Mr. Bickford is a gentleman well fitted to perform any and all civic and social duties that may devolve upon him, his experience in successfully-conducting a large and important manufacturing industry and his

natural force of character making him a most valuable citizen. For years a member of the Canadian Manufacturers Association his presence at all the important meetings thereof is signalled by his expression of strong common sense arguments and reasoning and a comprehensive grasp of such important questions as may be presented. He is a member of the executive of the association and a member of the textile fabrics section of the association Tariff committee.

MCLEOD (Winnipeg) Brief details of a most horrible murder and suicide came from High Bluff, a small village halfway between Portage la Prairie and Winnipeg. A farmer named McLeod last night killed one of his motherless children and wounded another

unto death and then ended his miserable life by cutting his own throat. McLeod lived about two miles from High Bluff on what is known as the Bock road. He was last seen about dusk last evening.

The body of the son on whose head were no fewer than four great cuts inflicted with the same instrument, was also found.

The many friends of Dr. C. S. Chittenden, dentist, will be shocked to hear of his sudden death which occurred yesterday afternoon in his office on King street east about 5 o'clock. The deceased had not been well for some time and his physicians knew he was suffering from heart disease though he was not made aware of it. A short time ago he was advised to take a rest for three weeks and did so, and only returned again to active practice about a fortnight ago, since when he had been apparently in good health. He was feeling well and looking well yesterday, but during the afternoon complained to his student, Fred B. Ross, of feeling tired and lay down on the lounge in his private office, requesting not to be disturbed for a while. About ten minutes after, it became necessary for Mr. Ross to consult him. and on going into the room, he found the doctor lying on the sofa unconscious. The book he had been reading lay open upon his breast and his spectacles were still over his eyes, but the face was rapidly becoming discoloured and he was breathing stertorously. Mr. Ross became alarmed and summoned Miss Frances Hodgins, another student, and together they laid the doctor on the floor, opened his collar and vest, and Miss Hodgins applied such simple remedies as were within reach while Mr. Ross hurried out, summoned Andrew Rutherford, druggist, and telephoned for Dr. Miller and Dr. Malloch. The former arrived ten minutes after, but pronounced life extinct, and gave it as his opinion that the cause of death was the rupture of a blood vessel in the heart. It is thought that the doctor died five minutes after being discovered.

Mrs. Chittenden and Miss Chittenden were immediately informed of the doctor's death and were naturally deeply affected by the awful tidings. John W. Chittenden, his son, was out yachting and did not hear the news until late in the evening when he called at Mr. Rutherford's drugstore.

Mr. Chittenden was born at Burlington, Vermont, in 1825. He belonged to one of the oldest families of New England, the descendants of one of the earliest Puritan settlers. He came to Hamilton in 1849 after having graduated in the New York college of dental surgery. Since that time he was an honoured and deeply respected resident of the city. His genial manner and cheerful kindly disposition made him a favourite with all classes of the community, and his high intellectual qualities and cultured taste rendered him a delightful companion. His high professional standing was recognized by the dentists of the province who during several successive years elected him president of the royal college of dental surgery of Ontario.

He also held the position of examiner in chemistry and various other branches of study and generally took a great interest in the school, He was for many years one of the most active members of the Hamilton Association and held the position of president of the biological section.

Nowhere more than in the musical circles will the deceased gentleman be missed. Himself an amateur of unusual ability he took a lively interest in the education of the musical taste of the people and was foremost in musical enterprises of all descriptions that had that in view during the past thirty years; in fact he was looked upon as the Nestor of the musical progress which has given the city an enviable reputation in the Dominion. As far back as 1860 during the occasion of the Prince of Wales's visit he took a prominent part in the production of Haydn's 'Seasons' which was successfully performed by a large chorus and orchestra conducted by Carl Adams of Buffalo, In 1863, he was one of the soloists at the performance of 'The Creation' under the auspices of the Rifle Brigade band. In 1860 the Cecelia Glee Club was started with Dr. Chittenden as president and from that time to the day of his death his efforts in the direction of the musical development of the community were unremitting. In 1882 when the philharmonic society was formed, he was one of the moving spirits in the enterprise, and the society showed its appreciation of him by electing his president in 1887, the year of the great jubilee concerts.

The deceased leaves a widow, two sons, and two daughters. Miss Katie Chittenden inherited her father's musical talents and is now organist in one of the most important churches in New York. John W. Chittenden, the eldest son, is studying for the profession of dental surgeon.

The deceased was highly respected and well known, having lived here all his life.

WILSON Mrs. Thomas Wilson, wife of Thomas Wilson, treasurer of Dundas, died very suddenly Wednesday night. Mr. Wilson and his wife came to Hamilton early in the evening to visit James Mercer, contractor, 40 Ferguson avenue. Shortly after arriving there Mrs. Wilson, who had previously enjoyed good health, was taken sick.

About six o'clock yesterday morning Engineer Thomas Moore of the train, bound south on the Northern and North-Western division, saw the body of a man lying beside the track a short distance south of the new iron bridge which is being built over the river at St. Ann's, a flag station past Burlington. The body proved to be that of Peter Brennan, son of John Brennan, 208 Hughson street north in this city. It was frightfully mangled, the neck arms and legs being broken. The remains were removed to the station at St. Ann's where they await the arrival of a coroner.

Young Brennan with several other young men from the city was working oh the new iron bridge which is being put in near St. Ann's station. How he came to be run over is a mystery and nobody appears to have been with him at the time. Several companions were with him the previous evening, but they separated to go to their boarding houses and knew no more regarding the unfortunate young man until they heard of his death. It is thought that he was killed by a special freight which left here at 2 o'clock yesterday morning in charge of Conductor Wood and would have reached St. Ann's about 3:30. This was the only train through between the time Brennan was last seen and the finding of the body.

The body was brought to the city last night and taken to the young man's home.

ARCAND (Montreal) A farmer named Joseph Arcand of St. Remi committed suicide at St. Phillipe, Laprairie county, by hanging himself in a shed.

Deceased was a well known and wealthy farmer and no cause is assigned for the rash act.

LUSSIER (Montreal) George M. Lussier, butcher, was being threatened with prosecution for keeping a private stall without a licence.

He then went to the river and threw himself in and was drowned. His body has not yet been recovered.

HISCOX Jimmie Hiscox, the boss chimney sweep died at the hospital early yesterday morning from inflammation of the lungs.

Hiscox had been dangerously ill for some time but it was not until a couple of days ago that he was removed to the hospital. He was quite a character in his way and was known by every small boy in town. He was born in England about 45 years ago and lived in Hamilton for thirty-five years. Some years ago he created a sensation by falling from the roof of the old Canada Life building on James street. He was badly injured by the fall but he managed to pull through. Jimmie was frequently before the police magistrate but his crimes were nothing more than drunkenness or assault.

COLE Early yesterday morning John Cole, an Englishman, living at the prisoners' rescue house, 63 Macnab street south, became despondent because he could not get work and took a dose of 'rough on rats'. Cole is abaker and about 50 years old. He came out from England last May, remaining for a time in the States. He came to Hamilton last January, but could not get work. His money was all gone and having no friends he asked to be arrested and was sent to jail for sixty days on a charge of vagrancy. Cole's conduct was so good there that when his sentence expired, Governor Ogilvie sent him to the rescue home where he lived offand on ever since. He tried again to get work, but was unsuccessful. In April he walked to London in search of employment but the same hard luck had followed him and he walked back again. The man was so grateful and deserving that Mr. and Mrs. Danckert who had charge of the home, tried to cheer him up. The poor fellow got $2 from one of the officials of the house and purchased a small stock of needles, pins, blacking, etc. He went out peddling, but had poor success, the receipts seldom exceeding 25 cents a day, and sometimes much less. On Thursday he tramped all day and made 15 cents. He never drank and always handed his earnings over to Mrs. Danckert;. Yesterday morning at 7 o'clock Mrs. Danckert called him for breakfast. He replied, "All right. I'm coming". He was in the bathroom at the time. About fifteen minutes later Mrs. Danckert went up to his room to see why he did not come down to breakfast and found him lying on the bed, moaning and groaning. He said he had taken 'rough on rats'. Drs. Macdonald and Malloch were summoned. The latter used a stomach pump which had the desired effect. Cole took an overdose of the poison. He swallowed all that was in the box and threw the empty box out of the window. He was taken to the hospital in the patrol wagon and died shortly afterward.

The officials of the home were particularly kind to Cole, keeping him there without pay. A post mortem examination will be held at the hospital to-day.

PEMBERTON The first fatality since the boating season opened occurred on the bay Saturday afternoon. Early in the morning Henry Pemberton who lives with John Kavanaugh, 142 Hess street north, and Wilbert Kaye, 99 Hess street north, two young Englishmen employed at the Hamilton Iron Forging Co's works, after getting through their work went to Bastien's and hired a row boat. They first rowed to Dundas and then to Bayview where they remained for a couple of hours. On the way back to the city Kaye did the rowing while his companion sat in the back of the boat and steered. When they were in the middle of the bay and about 200 yards from the railway wharf, Kaye stopped rowing and let the boat drift along and the young men fell asleep. The next thing Kaye knew the boat had capsized and he and Pemberton were in the water. Kaye saved himself by getting hold of the upturned boat. When Pemberton came to the surface Kaye grabbed him and tried to get him over the boat, but his companion slipped from his grasp and was drowned. Kaye's cries for help were heard by Charles Wilson, 165 John street north, who was in a boat with his wife, his sister, and a baby. They were about 500 yards from the upturned boat and saw the young man's head above the surface of the water. Mr. and Mrs. Wilson rowed as quickly as possible towards the spot. They told Kaye to hold on to the upturned boat and then they towed it to the railway wharf. He was completely exhausted and the workmen who were there hurried him home. Mr. Wilson and several others rowed out to the spot where the boat upset, but could not find any trace of Pemberton's body. They found two coats and the drowned man's vest. In the pocket of his vest was his watch which had stopped at 4:30. The accident did not occur till an hour later. Neither of the young men could swim. Pemberton was about 24 years old and came from Lancashire, England, a year ago. His married brother, James Pemberton, lives at 118 Queen street north. A number of men were out looking for the body yesterday morning. It was recoverd by Neil Robertson, Albert and John Colbrook, and Walter Iredale who had been grappling all morning.

WISHART Died on Wednesday, May 22, James Wishart, aged 70 years, a native of Letham, Scotland. Funeral to-day (Thursday) at 3:30 P.M. from 37 Park street north.

Late on the night of February 16, James Wishart, an elderly man who lived alone in a small house on Mountain avenue just beyond the southwestern limits of the city, was almost killed by two burglars. The men whose faces were blackened so as to completely disguise them knocked at the door of Mr. Wishart's house and awakening him, said they had an important telegram for him. Before he could open the front door he was confronted by a tall man who ordered him to step outside. The intruder was quickly joined by another man and the two desperadoes set upon the old man. Mr. Wishart picked up a small hatchet that lay on the floor near him and tried to defend himself, but he was speedily overpowered. His assailants dragged him out of the house, kicked him cruelly, banged his head against the frozen ground, and one of them, holding the hatchet over his head, swore that unless he gave them all the money he had in the house, they would take his life. Wishart swooned and when he recovered consciousness, he was lying alone in the snow. His assailants had gone back to the house and ransacked it. They found no money and there was nothing valuable to take; they departed empty-handed, leaving the old man to his fate. Mr. Wishart, though between sixty and seventy years of age, was a sturdy old

man, He was a blacksmith and regularly worked at his trade in his shop near Brennen's planing mill and was troubled very little by illness of any kind up to the night of the assault. But since that terrible night he became a changed man. He suffered terribly from pains in the head and his nervous system had received a shock from which he never recovered. He had few friends. His most intimate friends were James Beardwell and Mrs. Beardwell of 33 Park street north where he visited occasionally. Last Monday afternoon he called at the Beardwells and complained of the pains in his head which he said were unbearable. On Beardwell's advice he consulted Dr. Ridley who gave him some medicine and he went home. On Tuesday afternoon he appeared at the Beardwells door and lay down on a lounge, apparently suffering extreme pain. Dr. Ridley was summoned and on his advice Mr. Wishart was put to bed. He rapidly grew worse and became unconscious. Dr. Ridley called again at night and at 1:30 yesterday morning, but Wishart was by this time beyond the reach of medical skill. He died at 2:15 yesterday morning. It is the doctor's opinion that his death was caused by the rupture of a blood vessel in the brain.

Wishart's assailants have never been discovered, but it is suspected that they are young men living in the neighbourhood whose cupidity(greed) was excited by rumours that the old man was a miser and had untold stores of gold concealed about the house.

Mr. Wishart was a widower, his wife having died many years ago. She was a sister of Mrs. John Greig of this city. So far as is known Mr. Wishart had no blood relatives in this country but two of his sisters are living in England. He had an adopted son who has been living in Rochester, N.Y., for some time. The deceased was a well-to-do man, but probably not nearly so wealthy as current rumour made him. He owned two lots and the house he lived in.

SEARLES Drowned, George Searles, aged 31 years. Funeral from Dwyer's undertaking establishment, Thursday afternoon, at 3 o'clock. Friends and acquaintances will please attend.

About 9 o'clock yesterday morning Miss Florence Fletcher, grand-daughter of Mr. Hughes who kept the post office at the beach was near the water s edge on the bay side when she saw the body of a man floating near the shore. She informed Mr. Hughes and he succeeded in dragging it to land. He also notified the city police, but as it was a county matter they referred the case to Mr. Blachford, undertaker, who sent a man out to bring in the"remains. There were no visible means of identifying the body and the people down there did not care to handle it until a coroner saw it, especially as there were two ugly marks on the head which looked as if there had been foul play. A reporter had no scruples on that score and instituted as careful a search as the circumstances would permit, but found little left in the pockets to act as a clue. The body was that of a man about 45 years of age and had apparently not been in the water more that five or six days. It is very well dressed and appears to be that of a respectable and

well-to-do man. probably a merchant or something of that sort. The head is very thinly covered with hair on the top and the face is beardless. The upper lip has seldom been shaved, and the deceased probably never grew a beard. The face is full with rather heavy features. The body is about five feet eight inches and is attired in a gray coat and vest, striped pants, and shoes, a turned-down collar with a blue necktie. The coat was tightly buttoned across the chest. On examining the pockets little could be discovered in them. A lady's card bearing the name of Lizzie Caldwell was in one pocket together with what looked like a small valentine, and a photograph of a good-looking lady and a little girl. The photograph is evidently an old one as the fashion of the dress is that of twenty years ago. In the breast pocket of the coat was a fine linen handkerchief, but it had no initials on it. There is a handsome horseshoe breast pin, apparently, gold, in the tie.

Mr. Hughes stated that when the body was taken from the water the face was not discoloured at all and on the top of the head there was a bad contusion; also another on the back of the skull and they appeared to him to be the result of violent blows. Otherwise the body was in excellent condition. After being in the air some time, the face became discoloured and blood oozed from the head as is usual in case of drowning.

The body was brought to the morgue yesterday afternoon. About 5:30 yesterday afternoon, T. Loney, 37 Young street, called at the hospital and identified the body as that of George Searles who had been employed in McPherson's shoe factory until last December. Dr. Beemer then also recognized the body as that of a patient who had been discharged from the institution on April 15. It appears that Searles got into a fight with a hackman last January and had his knee badly injured and was confined to the hospital for nearly three months. On Friday, May 10, the deceased left Al Loney's house, intending to go to Buffalo and had then on his person a silver watch, a gold chain, and a ticket for Buffalo, He was last seen about 9:30 that evening at McKeown's restaurant. The watch and chain are missing.

Dr. A. Woolverton opened an inquest on the death of Searles at 5 o'clock yesterday afternoon at the city hospital. After the jury viewed the body, the inquest adjourned until Monday evening at 8 o'clock

Dr. Beemer said last night that he could not say whether the marks on the head were caused by a blow or not until a post mortem was held.

The funeral will take place at 3 o'clock from Dwyer's undertaking establishment, 24 James street north.

PAGE Thomas Page, who died at his home at Palermo on June 6, was born in the north riding of Yorkshire, England, and immigrated to Canada in 1832. For a time he worked at his trade as carpenter in Hamilton. He took part in putting down the rebellion of 1837 after which he bought fifty acres of land in the township of Trafalgar, Halton county. Subsequently taking to himself a helpmate, he began to subdue the forest to make room for a house and the beautiful fields now to be seen there. The result of his marriage was five sons and one daughter. Two of his sons died when young, but there remained three to see him carried to his last resting place. In 1854 he sold his fifty-acre farm and bought a larger one containing

one hundred acres within one mile of Palermo where he lived up to the time of his death. In politics Mr. Page was a staunch Conservative and admired the wisdom of the Right Honourable Sir John A. Macdonald in guiding the ship of state for the last quarter of century. He said that he never knew the Reformers to do anything great for the country.

NORQUAY (Winnipeg) Hon. John Norquay died suddenly this evening of fatty degeneration of the heart. John Norquay, MLA for Kildonan, ex-premier of Manitoba, was a native Manitoban, born in St. Andrew's in that province, May 8, 1841. Mr. Norquay first came to the front after the troublesome times of 1869-70. His peculiar position as one in which both whites and half-breeds - he had a strain of Indian blood in his veins -could have confidence together with a forcible way of stating moderate views marked him out as a leader. He was made minister of public works after the settlement of the troubles in 1871. In 1872 he was an unsuccessful candidate in Marquette for the Commons. In the Assembly he sat for High Bluff from 1870 to 1874, since which he represented St. Andrew's continuously till the last election, being three times returned by acclamation and twice by large majorities. At the last election he presented himself for Kildonan and was one of the Conservatives returned. He resigned with his colleagues in 1871, but became provincial secretary the next year and resumed the public works office in 1876. In 1878 he became premier, being the head of the Norquay-Royal government in which he held the treasurer's portfolio. In 1888, owing mainly to complications resulting from the failure to build the line of railway from Winnipeg southward to the United States boundary to connect with a branch of the Northern Pacific, Mr. Norquay resigned his place in the administration. Mr. Norquay owed his long continuance in power to a combination of talents, prominent among which was moderation, boldness tempered with judgment, eloquence, and a capacity for ceaseless work. After the downfall of his government in 1888, he never seemed to be the same man, and he suffered keenly from anxiety and worry, the prairie provinces being in a bad financial state at the time.

FOX A sad drowning accident occurred in the bay yesterday afternoon where John Fox, a tall, muscular, athletic-looking young man about 21 years old, who resided with his parents at 19 Florence street, met his death while bathing. Fox used to work for the Hamilton Iron Forging company. Yesterday afternoon in company with his elder brother, William Fox, and William Dalton, he went down to have a swim, selecting a spot opposite Carey's ice house, a short distance east of Wentworth street. The water there is not very deep and the bathers can wade out for a considerable distance. There were three other young men in swimming when Fox and his companions went into the water. They were not expert swimmers and did not venture out very far, contenting themselves with keeping where the water was not far above their heads. Some boys were playing with an old rowboat and the bathers jumped into it and paddled out into the bay until they got about 350 years from the shore. Dalton did not get into the boat. The men were seated in the boat when a sudden jar upset it and the five of them were thrown into the water. They all started to swim ashore, but the Fox brothers who were not good swimmers as the others fell behind and could not keep up the pace. William Fox had an awful time getting ashore and came near being drowned. He went down twice but bravely struggled on arriving in safety. His brother John either took cramps or became exhausted, for he was behind the other swimmers and was seen to disappear before any help could reach him. The men afterwards went out in a boat and searched for the body using grappling irons, and some of them dived, but they did not succeed in recovering it. William Fox was completely exhausted when he reached the shore.

Good-natured Walter L. Davis is no more. He was over at Buffalo attending the big races there yesterday when he dropped dead. The news was received here last evening and was a great surprise as the deceased was the picture of health when he left. Around the hotels and in sporting circles little else was talked about last night and his death was everywhere regretted. Few men were better known or more popular that deceased. For years he and his brothers have been the lessees of the James street market. The writer had a conversation with the deceased shortly before he left for Buffalo. He was then in the best of health and was in excellent spirits. Samuel Davis, Jr, his brother, W. Henderson, and James Burgess went to Buffalo with him. Mr. Henderson was with him shortly before his death in the grandstand where they sat watching the races. The deceased was rather restless and was not contented to remain in the stand, preferring to walk around among the crowd. He left Mr. Henderson sitting there. Shortly afterward the latter met him and Walter complained about not feeling well. Without any warning he fell to the grass. Mr. Henderson went to look for the deceased's brother. When he returned he found Samuel Davis, Jr, and several doctors trying to revive him but their efforts were of no avail and he died ten minutes afterward. The cause of death was thought to be heart disease. The deceased was 38 years old and unmarried. He was born in Hamilton where he lived all his life. He was the second son of Samuel Davis and brother of James, Samuel, Jr., and Horace M. Davis. He always took a great interest in all kinds of sporting, his favourite sport being horse racing. He was kindhearted and good natured and made friends wherever he went. The body was brought here this morning. The funeral will take place on Friday afternoon.

CASMAN (Yarmouth, N.S.) A remarkable and fatal accident happened here last night.

It then passed through four heavy board stall partitions before it was spent. The effect produced was out of all keeping with the amount of powder used and many believe that those who put the ball in put some powder in first.

From the position of the bodies when recovered it appears as though the smaller boy fell into the water, and his brother in trying to save him was also drawn in. The first heard of the accident was when their little sister was sent to find them. She saw their hats floating in the water and ran to the mill and gave the alarm. The father was away at one of the neighbours thrashing. In a short time a number of villagers were searching.

Among the passengers on the excursion from this city to Orillia yesterday were Mrs. Sarah Buttler, a poor widow residing at 172 Markland street, and her two sons, William and David. They had taken advantage of the cheap rates to pay a visit to the eldest boy who is in the Orillia asylum. When the train was between Beeton and Cookstown, William Buttler and his brother and a youth named Winton were out on the platform of a car sporting about and tossing 'conversation' lozenges to some girls inside the car. Suddenly when neither of his companions were looking at him, William fell off the step of the car. He was witnessed by Winton just as he was disappearing and he informed David Buttler who ran into the car and told his mother. It took some time to convey the alarm to conductor C. W. Flanders who was in charge of the train, and before it was stopped the train had run about two miles. In the meantime some section men who were working on the track and saw the young man fall came up and found the body lying by the rail with the head cut off completely and portions of the brain and skull

strewn along the track.

When the train backed up to the spot the mother of the deceased pressed through the crowd and insisted on reaching the spot despite kindly efforts to keep her away. The other boy also came up and on seeing the mutilated corpse fainted and had to be taken into the car. This, however, diverted his mother's attention upon the brother. The body was taken to Cookstown and brought to the city on the 9:30 mail train and undertaker Blachford took charge of it.

The young man who was killed was nineteen years of age and worked at the Ontario Rolling Mills Co. of this city. He was the sole support of his widowed mother.

He entered politics when quite young and was finally appointed deputy minister of justice. A clever, scholarly man, he won fame in the domain of literature, particularly for works on democracy and commentaries on the writing of Alex de Tocqueville. He was director of the Bank of Lyons and when the institution collapsed, fled to America to avoid arrest. He was subsequently sentenced to five years' imprisonment. There are judgments of 8,000,000 francs against him to-day. Before leaving Paris he fell in love with the handsome wife of his secretary. The secretary surprised them in a café and received a bullet which lodged in his pocketbook. Savany was accompanied to Canada by the erring woman who survives him. His first wife still lives in France. Savany is regarded as the author of the Riel agitation, his writings helping to stir up the feelings of the French Canadians.

Filaitre, O.M.I., and was reconciled with the church. The funeral takes place here to-morrow.

The waiter saw him as he fell and immediately threw him a rope, but the unfortunate man did not catch it. They could hear him call for help but before they could lower a boat his cries were silenced. He said he was from London and the authorities wired the chief of police in that place. His body has not been recovered and the probabilities are that it will not be until it rises, as the current is very swift where he fell in.

POTTRUFF Late yesterday afternoon while a heavy freight train was running into Dundas on the steep grade between Dundas and Lynden and when it was a mile and a half west of the town, the engineer saw a woman walking along the middle of the track ahead of the train. He blew the whistle vigorously, but the woman did not seem to notice it. At any rate she did not turn around. It was impossible to stop the train; the grade is too steep. On it rushed and solitary figure still plodded on apparently oblivious of danger. The fireman started to climb down in front of the train with the hope that he might avert the approaching catastrophe, but before he could reach the cowcatcher the train overtook the unfortunate woman. She was hurled over the embankment and the train rushed on. as soon as it could be brought to a standstill, the engine was detached and sent back to the scene of the accident. The woman was found dead at the bottom of the embankment. The body was taken to Dundas and in the evening was identified as that of Mrs. Pottruff of Harrisburg. She was 65 years of age. Her son-in-law, Mr. Galbraith, keeps a hotel at Harrisburg and one of her married daughters lives at Stony Greek. Mrs. Pottruff was an eccentric old lady and at times hardly accountable for her actions. She had started yesterday to walk all the way from Harrisburg to Dundas and had nearly reached the latter place when she met her death in so sudden and terrible a manner. She was hard of hearing which accounts for her failure to hear the warning whistle given by the engineer.

LONDIGO Londigo, engaged on the Gatineau Valley Railway construction, lost their lives last evening through a landslide in a cutting near Ironsides. The cutting at this place is quite a deep one.

FOUCOURT (Ottawa) News reached the city yesterday of an accident at the North Nation river by which a man named Foucourt lost his life in a horrible manner. The details are meagre but so far as could be ascertained it seems that one day last week two brothers , farmers named Foucourt, organized a deer hunting expedition. Each armed himself with a gun, and after duly loading with buckshot, they started for the place where the deer frequently were seen. While on their way one of the guns accidentally went off. The buckshot and slug contents struck one of the brothers in the neck, almost severing the head from the body. Death was instantaneous.

STAFFORD, (Port Rowan) The schooner "Erie Wave", commanded by Captain Stafford,

MARLATE capsized last night between here and Clear Creek, and eight persons were

SOPER drowned. The vessel had been aground for some days and had an extra crew

BELL aboard to assist in getting her off. The wind and high water allowed her to float and the crew made canvas, and a squall struck her. Four of the crew were drowned and four landsmen who were on board. Two of the crew reached shore... The names of the victims are: Captain Thomas Stafford, Robert Marlate, Edward Soper, and George Bell, and four others from Clear Creek, names unknown. The names of the three who succeeded in swimming ashore are: Thomas Baker, and Azarial Vaughan of this place, and Joseph Crawford of Clear Creek. The sad intelligence has cast a gloom over the entire community.

MCDONNELL (Wallaceburg) Alexander McDonnell, father of W. J. McDonnell, shipbuilder, of this town, was found dead in his orchard this afternoon by his wife. He was picking apples when last seen. The ladder on which he was standing has a broken rung which apparently was the cause of his falling. His neck was broken and when found the body was lifeless and cold.

CHADWICK (Stratford) Thomas Chadwick, a man of about 46 years of age, came here from Hamilton when the new shops were opened. He was a fitter by trade and when in the Hamilton shops he was frequently taken with epileptic fits while at work, but when he

came here the change seemed to do him good and up to about a month ago he enjoyed comparative good health and freedom from his old malady. During the last month he was taken bad again and laid off work. He was able to be about, and yesterday while crossing past the Dominion Hotel just across from the depot he was again taken with an epileptic fit. He was taken to his home just a few doors away on Downie street and a doctor sent for, but before the medical man arrived he was dead.

SPECK (Smithville) On Thursday, August 29, a usually quiet, and inoffensive young man named Civillian Speck, the seventeen-year-old son of Henry Speck of Caistor, was on his way from prayer meeting when he met with a crowd of young men near Gilmore's blacksmith shop in Merritt settlement, Lincoln county, a short distance from Smithville. Previous to this, a disagreement had arisen between Speck and another young man named William Garrison who was somewhat older, and the parties were induced to fight although very much against their will it is said. The encounter was terribly brutal. Speck bled profusely, but the full extent of his injuries was not ascertained until the following day when it was found that some blunt instrument must have been used in the fight as Speck's skull was fractured in two places and his hat was full of holes. Dr. McMurchie of Smithville was called in, who with the assistance of Dr. McCallum of Dunnville, performed the difficult operation of trepanning, thus relieving the patient of the pressure of the broken pieces of bone upon the brain, which operation it was thought might save the young man's life. In the meantime the assailant, Garrison, had secreted himself or left the country. The authorities, however, hold to the belief that he is still concealed by his friends. The injured lad lingered for a time under the best physicians when death finally relieved him of his suffering on Tuesday of last week, September 24.

October 4, 1889

Newning Died at the residence, Auburn, Texas, on September 21, Annie Brush, wife of Charles A. Newning.

MCRAE (St. John, N.B. ) To-night the citizens were horrified to hear it whispered about that Mrs. McRae, wife of Rev. Dr. McRae, had met her death by being poisoned. The authorities and physicians are endeavouring to keep the matter quiet on the ground that the ends of Justice might be affected by the disclosure of all the facts, but this is hard to do, as all the main points are out. It appears that a box of choice confectionery was received by mail by Mrs. McRae on Tuesday addressed to Rev. Donald McRae, city. She opened the box and ate. On examination of the candy afterward, it was proved beyond all doubt that the confectionery contained strychnine in it, and a post mortem examination showed that this was the cause of her death. This evening it was discovered that similar packages were

received by the Rev. J,. Desoyres, rector of St. John's Episcopal church, and the Rev. J. Dienstadt of the Exmouth Methodist church, but both escaped the terrible consequences of eating in a strange manner. Mr. Dienstadt had opened the box and was about giving some to his child when his wife had a presentiment that something was wrong and would not allow the child to touch it. Mr. Desoyres on opening his put a piece of candy in his mouth and immediately discovered a very bitter taste and spit it out, thinking some one had been endeavouring to play a joke on him. He was prompted, however, to show the candy to Dr. Harding, and that gentleman at once said there was strychnine in it. The box of confectionery like the one sent to Rev. Mr. McRae was then handed over to W. F. Best to analyse and he has reported that there is enough strychnine in either box to poison a whole family. It was late to-night when these facts leaked out sufficiently to be relied on, but the news soon spread throughout the city and has created quite great excitement. Coroner Berryman to-night empanelled a jury. After viewing the body, inquiry was adjourned until Monday. Rev. Dr. McRae arrived here to-day but the cause of his wife's death has not yet been communicated to him.

BLOOM Yesterday morning a man who had given the name of James Bloom was found dead in bed at the Red Lion Hotel, Dundas. When last seen he was in good health and the supposition is that he committed suicide. He was a stranger in Dundas and came to the hotel last Tuesday. He was about 65 years old, five feet eight inches high and looked like a farmer. He was dressed in a dark brown suit of tweed and gaiter boots. Little else is known about him in the town. When he did not come down yesterday the people around the hotel became suspicious and on going into the room they found him dead in bed. About $4.45 was found in

his pockets. That was all the money he had. He wore a white shirt which bore the name of William Jamieson. It is thought that perhaps the man did not give the right name when he registered at the hotel. As the circumstances connected with the man's death were suspicious an inquest was opened before Coroner Woolverton and a jury at noon yesterday. After the jury viewed the body the inquest was adjourned till next Tuesday.

The wagon was stopped at the bottom of a hill to give the horses a rest. When they started again, the boy slipped off the wagon and fell under the wheels which passed over his stomach.

The boy died twenty or thirty minutes after the accident. No bones were broken and he did not complain about any pain.

RAMSAY Died at Hamilton, Ontario, on October 8, Alexander Ramsay, eldest beloved son of a. G. Ramsay, aged 35 years and 4 months. Funeral from his father's residence, on Thursday, at 3 p.m.

Many will regret the death of Alexander Charles Ramsay, only son of A. G. Ramsay, president and managing director of the Canada Life Assurance Company, which occurred yesterday morning;. He had been ill for several months, but his death was a great shock, as his relations had hoped that he would recover.

Mr. Ramsay was a comparatively young man and very popular, being well liked by all who met him, particularly the clerks in the office of the company. He was born in London, England, about 36 years ago, but he lived the greater part of his life in Hamilton. Many years ago he was in the office of the Canada Life here. Latterly he was connected with the British Bank. Then he went to Halifax, N.S., where he acted as secretary of the branch of Canada Life. Returning here, he was appointed superintendent of the company which office he filled for six years. Some years ago he was married to Miss Annie Broughton, daughter of the late Frederick Broughton, formerly manager of the Great Western Railway. He leaves a wife and two young sons.

It was in July that Mr. Ramsay was taken sick. While at Murray Bay and along the St. Lawrence, he contracted a severe cold which became worse and worse and finally turned to consumption. On his return home from Murray Bay his illness became serious, but at times his condition improved under skilled medical treatment and there was a faint hope that he would recover. Within the past few days, however, he had another bad spell and death relieved him of further suffering at 8:30 yesterday morning.

POLES (Lindsay) About 6 o'clock this morning the town was startled by what seemed like a heavy explosion. Houses in various parts of the town felt the vibration and the sound was heard miles away. The boiler in John Dovey's mill had exploded. The mill is situated on the east bank of the river about half a mile from Kent street. So terific was the explosion that the frame mill was about levelled to the ground and parts of the building and machinery blown and scattered a quarter of a mile or more from the scene of the disaster. Several large plate glass windows in stores on Kent street were broken. The cause of the explosion was supposed to be a lack of water in the boiler but as yet the full particulars cannot be obtained as the engineer, John Poles, the only person on the premises at the time, was killed. Had the accident occurred ten minutes later the employees would have been assembled for work.

GRAHAM (Strathroy) This morning Mrs. Messiahs, who keeps a boarding house on Colborne street, was somewhat starled on going to call one of her boarders to find him dead in bed. She at once notified the authorities and Coroner Billington and the chief of police at once visited the scene. From the facts gleaned by the coroner, the landlady, and the boarders, it appears that the deceased's name was Graham and he was between 60 and 70 years of age, a pedlar of patent medicines, and came here about three weeks ago. He seemed to be rather well informed, had plenty of clothing, paid his board regularly, and had in his possession some $70 in gold and $150 in silver. From papers found upon him, it seems he has been working for J. L. Stevens

of Hamilton, has a son in Winnipeg, and is also supposed to have a daughter. Cause of death is supposed to have been heart trouble. The authorities' efforts to find his friends so far have proved useless.

holiday camping and hunting on one of the islands near there. Muirhead attempted to shove a boat off, but in doing so, missed his footing and fell into the deep water. The current being very swift and the water very cold, he found that his strength was leaving him and cried out for assistance to his companion who was at some distance up the bank.

IRVINE (St. Thomas) Our Ruthven correspondent writes: The citizens of Olinda were horrified Friday morning by an appalling accident whereby a young man, Louis Irvine, lost his life. He had spent the night with a young friend and the two had decided to spend the day in hunting. Louis humourously remarked to his mother, while preparing for the hunt, that she must have the kettle on so as to cook his black squirrels. He had loaded one barrel of his gun and was loading the other when by some means the barrel was discharged, taking effect in the young man's chin, blowing out his teeth and scattering his brains over the floor. He fell backward into his mother's arms and died. Your correspondent visited the grief-stricken home and was met by a sight never to be effaced from memory. Teeth and brain

LOBB (Toronto) Francis Lobb, a man of 46 years of age and brother of the ex-alderman, shot himself through the heart this afternoon about half past two. He leaves a wife and six children. He was the oldest employee in the treasury department, having been there nineteen years. Latterly he had been the chief of the rent and taxation division of the department. For some time past he had been in ill health and became very melancholy in consequence. This is the only assignable reason for the tragedy of to-day. He had no money to take charge of and the city treasurer reports his accounts perfectly regular. He was at work as usual this morning and went away to lunch at one o'clock. He went directly to the office of his brother, Ex- alderman James Lobb, 56 Front street east, and in the hallway of that building he pulled out a revolver and shot himself. Great consternation prevailed at the city hall when the tragedy became known, and several committees which were in session or were to be held were adjourned out of respect to the deceased who was very popular with all the officials and aldermen. No inquest will be held.

TANGNAY (Quebec) This morning Coroner Boileau was notified of the sudden death of a young man named Tangnay at Levis during the night.

He immediately ejected the stranger from the house and nothing more was known of the scandal till it was rumoured this morning that Tangnay, Jr., aged 25 years, had died during the night. His mother and a man named Lavalee were put under arrest this morning and brought to town. An inquest will be held to-morrow.

HARRIS The quiet village, Ailsa Craig, was startled this morning by the announcement that the wife of Charles Harris, a well known and respected resident, had taker her life by means of a razor. The unfortunate woman had been troubled with a large tumour in the stomach for a couple of years past and on June 20 last was admitted to the city hospital to have an operation performed on her. After she had sufficiently recovered her strength, she returned home in July, but was suffering such pain that she was unable to sleep and took very little nourishment. Her husband had occasion to go away on business on Monday until Saturday, and left his wife in charge of the latter's sister. This morning the last named got up to light the fire about seven o'clock and Mrs. Harris slipped quietly out of bed into the pantry and with a butcher knife cut a great gaping wound but did not think it sharp enough to finish the job and with the greatest coolness placed it back in its accustomed place and got her husband's razor. With this the half-crazed woman made a terrible gash under her chin extending frcm ear to ear and severing the windpipe. When her sister found her she was lying on the floor with the blood flowing in a large stream from the wound. Medical aid was summoned but before the doctor arrived, the vital spark had fled.

TURNER Died at the family residence, Highfield, on October 19, James Turner, in the 64th year of his age. Funeral will take on Tuesday, October 22, at 3 p.m.

On Saturday evening a man who for upwards of a third of a century has been one of the foremost of Hamiltonians and one of the most universally esteemed passed away from this life. Hon. Jumes Turner died at his residence, Highfield, a few minutes after six o'clock. It is now two months since the handsome face and stately presence of the senator were seen on the streets of the city. His illness, however, dates farther back than the present. About two years ago he was threatened with the loss of his sight by cataract and he undertook two operations which were only partially successful. To a man of Senator Turner's energetic nature and active habits, the enforced inactivity which resulted from the treatment of his eyes was very irksome and it is surmised that the sudden cessation of physical exercise which became necessary hastened if it did not cause the disease which resulted in his death. It was shortly before the summer

carnival that Mr. Turner began to feel unwell, but he did not suspect that there was anything serious the matter with him, and during the first three days of the carnival he was at his office giving a cheery welcome to his numerous friends and customers who came here from all parts of the country. It- was on Thursday, August 22, that the indisposition took a serious turn. On that day he left his office and went home, complaining that he felt unwell. Since that day he was not seen again in the city. Up to a few days ago the exact cause of Mr. Turner's illness was not definitely known. There was an internal abdominal growth, but whether it was an abscess or tumour could not be ascertained by the physicians in attendance - Drs. Ridley, Malloch, and Mullin of this city, and a surgical specialist from Buffalo. Last Wednesday, however, all doubts were set at rest by the bursting of the abscess. At first it was hoped that this climax to the disease would prove favourable, but it soon became evident that Mr. Turner's system, already enfeebled by his long confinement, could not endure the drain upon his strength. On Thursday he grew worse and his strength gradually but surely ebbed away until death came on Saturday evening. He was conscious up to within an hour of the last and at one o'clock was able to speak. His end was very peaceful. Surrounded by the members of his family, all of whom were present but two sons, John T. and James L. Turner, he quietly sank to sleep,' the sleep that knows no waking'.

Mr. Turner was born in Glasgow, Scotland, on March 31, 1826. His father was the late John Turner of McLellan & Turner, power loom manufacturers. Young Turner received his education at private school, and later on at the Glasgow high school. When in his twenty-second year he came to Canada to push his fortunes, proceeding direct to Hamilton which has been his home ever since. His elder brother, the late John Turner, was established in business here as a wholesale grocer when he arrived in Hamilton, and the younger brother entered the establishment and was soon admitted to the firm as a partner. Not many years afterward on the death of his brother, Mr. Turner became the head of the firm and very soon the impetus which he gave the business by his shrewdness, energy, and unswerving integrity made it one of the most extensive wholesale houses in the country. For many years Mr. Turner has been recognized as among the foremost business men in Canada. He was one of the first to recognize the boundless resources and possibilities of our Northwest territories. As early as 1867, he established a branch of his business in Fort Garry, and the business which he then founded was flourishing under the name of Turner, Mackeand, & Co, wholesale grocers of Winnipeg. In 1869 he made a tour through the Northwest territories, then almost terra incognita, in company with the late Hon. Joseph Howe, and since that first visit, he has almost annually visited the Northwest, and two or three times extended his tour to the Pacific coast. In 1882, he sailed down the Saskatchewan from Edmonton to Winnipeg. In 1875 Mr. Turner built the first brick store in Winnipeg. In addition to his Winnipeg business, Mr. Turner established a branch in Montreal

and was special partner in the firm of Turner, Ross, & Co., tea merchants and wholesale grocers of the metropolis of Quebec province.

Mr. Turner was essentially a public-spirited man. He took a deep interest in all enterprises that promised well for the country and especially for Hamilton, for he was a good citizen and loved his city. He was one of the chief promoters of the Wellington, Grey & Bruce, the Northern and Northwestern, the Northern & Pacific junction, and the Hamilton & Lake Erie Railways, having been a director of those roads and the only president of the last named. He was one of the founders of the Board of Trade and was the president as far back as 1869 and continued as one of the most active members up to the period of his last illness. He was also a director of the Bank of Hamilton. When in January, 1884, he was elevated to the Dominion Senate, the appointment was universally commended as a wise one, and its wisdom has been proven, for in the senate as in every other sphere of activity, Mr. Turner's sagacity, prudence, foresight and energy have enabled him to do good service for his country. In fact, in every field of effort in which he has laboured, Mr. Turner has taken a foremost place naturally and by the tacit consent of his fellow workers. He was by nature a superior man, born to lead. A lifelong Conservative, the deceased gentleman had been an honour and an ornament to the great party which he loved so well and which he served so faithfully.

Senator Turner was a member and trustee of the Macnab Street Presbyterian Church from the date of its establishment. For some time before his death he was the only survivor of the original trustee board of the church.

In June, 1850, Mr. Turner married Caroline Huldah Greene, of Kingston, Ontario, and became the father of four sons and four daughters. His wife and seven of his children survive him. The eldest daughter married R. K. Hope of this city, and died several years ago. The living members of the family are: John T. Turner, of Edmonton, NWT; James L. Turner, of Winnipeg; W. R. Turner, of Hamilton; and A. D. Turner, of Montreal. One of the daughters is Mrs. J. Hunt, of London. The other two are unmarried and live at home.

The funeral will take place to-morrow afternoon at 3 o'clock. Services will be held at the house and the remains will be conveyed direct from Highfield to the cemetery.

MCFARLANE About 5 o'clock yesterday afternoon, the police found the dead body of William McFarlane in his house on Queen street south of Concession street. The house which is situated a short distance from the street is an old broken-down two-storey frame building, hardly fit for a human being to live in. McFarlane was an eccentric old character about 68 years old. He was married but had lived alone for a number of years, his wife being employed as a domestic by Samuel Roos of East avenue south.

The last seen of Mr. McFarlane alive was on Sunday last. Between ten and eleven o'clock he was seen by William Lord, a milkman for whom he worked, and James Findlay who lives at the corner of Locke and Concession streets. Later in the day about three o'clock his wife visited him. They had a long conversation and when Mrs. McFarlane started for home her husband accompanied her going several blocks with here. That was the last seen of him alive. He was then apparently in good health, as he was addicted to drink his wife noticed particularly that he was sober at the time.

As McFarlane did not report to Lord on Monday or yesterday, he and the neighbours suspected that something had happened to him. Mr. James Findlay called at police headquarters and told Constable Gruikshank that he believed the old man was dead. Constables Coulter and Johnston went in the patrol wagon to the house. Finding that the door was locked, the constables peeped in the window and saw McFarlane lying on the bed. A terrible stench came from the room. Breaking open the door the constables entered the house. They found McFarlane lying on his back on the bed. He was dead. The body was swollen and looked as if

the man had been dead for a couple of days. He wore a pair of trousers, a vest, and a shirt. There were no marks of violence on the body. In the vest pocket Constable Coulter found a purse and 36 cents. The house was in a filthy condition. In a room upstairs there were about twenty pigeons. The constables found a set of good furniture locked in another room and in the shed they discovered seven or eight chickens. When the room was entered two dogs were guarding the corpse.

Coroner Philp was notified. He examined the body but, could not find any evidence of foul play. He instructed the police to take the body to the morgue. The coroner notified the Crown Attorney who decided to wait for further development before ordering that an inquest, be held.

On September 30, McFarlane was arrested by Constable Johnston for being drunk. The old fellow was in the habit of getting drunk, but he was quiet and never gave the police much trouble. Mrs. McFarlane was very much affected when she was told of his death. Although she had not lived with him for a number of years, she visited him quite frequently. McFarlane had two daughters. The furniture found in the house belonged to one of them who is married.

NIXON Another disastrous railway accident occurred on the Grand Trunk near Merritton yesterday afternoon. One man was killed and three others injured. They were employees of the road and lived in Hamilton. The accident was caused by a pitch-in between No 33 freight coming west and a mud train, or as the railroad men call it, a wildcat.

The wildcat was composed of eight flat cars and a caboose with a gang of thirty labourers in charge of Thomas Newhall and it was engaged in taking earth out of some cuttings east of Merritton and dumping it down an embankment on another part of the line near the tunnel under the Welland canal. The train was standing on the embankment and the labourers had just finished shovelling the earth off the cars when No 33 freight bound west came flying round a curve some distance off. Newhall immediately yelled to the driver to pull out as fast as he could and try to run away from the oncoming freight. The engineer did so but the brakes were hard on and before he could coax a move on the heavy train, No 33 was on them. The thirty labourers were on the flat cars and saw the freight coming and they immediately began to run forward and some of them jumped off. The freight train caught up on the wildcat, however, and ploughed into the train, throwing nearly all the flatcars into the ditch. The panic-stricken men ran in all directions in order to avoid being caught in the wreck, but when the engine of No 33 was

finally brought up in the ditch, it was found that James Nixon had been killed and Martin Allen, William Hyland, and Thomas McKeough severely injured, besides half a dozen others who got off with slight hurts....

TRAVERS On September 21, Mrs. Travers, an elderly woman living alone near Alberton in Ancaster township, was the victim of a most brutal outrage. Before dawn three or four men broke into the house and ransacked it for money which they supposed to be concealed there. When they could not find any, they seized Mrs. Travers and demanded her to give up what money she had. The spirited old lady refused, whereupon they beat her and put her through nameless torture of the most cruel description until she

became insensible. Then they renewed their search, found $10, and went away with it. When daylight came., Mrs. Travers crawled to her nearest neighbour, Robert Mulholland. She was more dead than alive, bruised and battered, and her face and clothing covered with blood, a piteous sight, enough to melt the heart of the most hardened criminal. Two men named Burnside and Sager were arrested on suspicion of being implicated in the outrage but there was not sufficient evidence against them.

Since that dreadful morning, Mrs. Travers lingered in a precarious condition. Her physician could not tell whether she would live or die. About two weeks ago she was smitten with paralysis on the side where she had received the most injury. She lingered until last Monday morning when she died.

A couple of weeks ago Heinstman, who is a cigar maker, was sent to jail for forty days for assaulting his wife. He had been in the court so often for assaulting her that the magistrate had no pity for him and would not give him the option of paying a fine.

Mrs. Heintsman who had been sick for a couple of days and was in bed yesterday when the little girl was playing about the house. There were three or four children about the same age with her. The children got hold of some matches and were amusing themselves by lighting them. Matches are dangerous things to play with. The Heinstman girl's dress caught fire and before the flames could be quenched she was horribly burned.

Imagine the mother's agony as she lay in bed hearing the child's screams for help and being powerless to assist her. Some of the neighbours heard the little girl's cries and went to the rescue, but by that time the dress was destroyed and the child's body was frightfully burned. Her face was blistered and swollen, the charred flesh peeling off in some places. Her whole body above the top of the stockings was a mass of sores. The poor little thing suffered terribly. Dr. Olmsted was summoned and dressed the wounds of the sufferer.

The child was removed to the hospital in the ambulance by Sergeant Vanatter and Constable Coulter, but nothing could be done for her, and she died at 8:30 last night. What makes the affair doubly distressing is the fact that the father of the girl is in the central prison.
