SAWYER - Died at 264 Macnafr street south, on Thursday, January 14, of pneumonia, Luther D. Sawyer, in his 66th year. Funeral on Saturday at 3 p.m.

Luther D. Sawyer died yesterday of pneumonia. He was taken ill on Thursday of last week and for several days his death had been expected. Mr. Sawyer's death will be learned with sorrow not only in Hamilton, but by people throughout the Dominion, for he was one of the oldest and best known of Hamilton's manufacturers and had established a reputation for upright and straightforward dealing in business matters as well as for geniality in social life and for great liberality in his benefactions.

Luther Dimmick Sawyer was born in Amesbury, Mass., in 1826 and came to Hamilton in 1844. He was a nephew of Dr. Calvin McQuesten and he entered into the employ of the firm of McQuesten & Fisher which was then carrying on a foundry business on the site now occupied by the Royal Hotel. In 1853 Mr. Sawyer was admitted as a partner in the business. In 1858 he with his brothers, Samuel and Tayson, took over the business and greatly extended it, confining themselves to the manufacture of agricultural implements. The firm was again changed by the death of Samuel Sawyer and the removal of Tayson to Muscatine, Ia. where he still lives. H. B. Coburn and the late Jonathan Ames were admitted to partnership and the firm continued with that personnel until 1889 when Messrs Sawyer and Ames sold out their interest to the Sawyer, Massey Company.

Mr. Sawyer is survived by three daughters; Miss Sawyer, and Mrs. A. H. Hope of this city, and Mrs. H. A. Brown of Lowell, Mass. Mrs. Sawyer died about five years ago.

The funeral is fixed for to-morrow at 3 o'clock from the family residence, 264 MacNab street south.

January 16, 1892

CUMMINGS (Blackheath) - The residents of this neighbourhood were shocked to learn of a very sudden death of a beloved and respected citizen in the person of Mrs. Sarah Cummings in the 53rd year of her age. The circumstances in connection with the closing months of her life were extremely sad. In the early part of August she met with an accident whereby she had one of her legs badly fractured. She exhibited at the time a degree of nerve and courage rarely seen, by binding up with her own hands the broken limb and assisting the doctor to set the same. She lay in an almost helpless condition for nearly fifteen weeks, enduring great suffering. Of late, however, she had greatly improved, was strong enough to be removed each day, and every indication pointed to an early recovery, and hope beat within her heart that she would soon be enabled to mingle in the active world from which she had been excluded so long, but hopes were destined never to be attained.

On the above date, one of her daughters was removed from the room as was the daily custom, when she was seized with weakness of the heart and within an hour had passed to that sphere where suffering is unknown. Rev. Mr. Bell had charge of the funeral and took occasion to refer to the Christian character of the deceased as personally known to himself. Seldom on any similar occasion in the neighbourhood were so many manifestations of respect and sympathy and never were so many eyes bedimmed with tears. The writer of these lines when he recalls to mind the

many hospitable welcomes while he thinks of that always cheerful spirit under all circumstances when comes running to his memory the many encouraging words and kindly acts, desires to pay this respect to one so deserving. Thus the circle becomes narrowed and one after another the associations of early life, the confidential friendships of mature years are broken and the ties that bind some of us are loosened. May we at such a time as this look forward through faith, with hope and confidence to that blessed time when these friendships will be realized never to be broken for evermore.

MYLES - Died in this city, at 91 Victoria avenue south, on January 17, Thomas Myles, in his 81st year. Funeral Wednesday at 3 p.m. Friends will please accept this intimation.

Thomas Myles died last night at his residence, 91 Victoria avenue south. He was prostrated several days ago with the prevailing malady which fastened on his lungs, and his system enfeebled by age was not vigorous enough to shake it off. Mr. Myles would have completed his 81st year had he lived until February 27. He was born in Limerick, Ireland, in 1811, and came to this country in 1845, settling on a farm in Binbrook.

There he lived for seven years and then sold out his farm and went to New York where he lived for two years. Returning to Canada, he settled in Hamilton, and with his brother, James, went into business together as coal merchants. Ten years later James Myles moved to Toronto and Thomas Myles carried on the Hamilton business and continued to conduct it down to the present time. The deceased gentleman has always been highly thought of in business circles in Hamilton as a man of peculiarly upright and honourable character and by those who knew him well he was

regarded with sincere affection as well as respect. He was a member of St. John's Presbyterian Church.

Before coming to Canada Mr. Myles was married to Mary A. Martin of Dublin. Mrs. Myles died about twelve years ago. Of their children, two sons and a daughter are living, Alfred and Charles Myles, and Mrs. Emily Clarke. The funeral is fixed for Wednesday at 3 p.m.

Mrs. Pocock, wife of Gabriel Pocock of this city, died at her home, 15 Hunter street east, on Saturday. The deceased lady was in her 69th year, having been born in Bath, England, in 1823. She came to Canada with her husband in 1848. They lived in the Niagara district until about five years ago when they moved into Hamilton. Mrs. Pocock was an intelligent and amiable Christian lady and her loss will be particularly felt by the James Street Baptist church of which she was a member. She is mourned by four sons and an adopted daughter.

This is the first break that death has made in the family for forty years, but it is feared that Mr. Pocock will not long survive his wife, for he now lies at the point of death, suffering from a complication of grip and bronchitis.

Mrs. Pocock's maiden name was Emily Rodaway. Her mother's name was Cromwell and she could trace her descent in an unbroken line to a brother of Oliver Cromwell, the Lord Protector of England. The funeral will take place to-morrow at 1:45. The remains will be taken to St. Catharines for interment.

MOFFATT - Mrs. Janet Moffatt, an old resident of Ancaster township, died Saturday, January 16, in her 80th year.

MEAD - Death has removed a familiar and pathetic figure from the streets of this city, Mrs. Charlotte Mead, or 'Blind Charlotte' as she was called. Thousands will remember the portly old blind woman who used to sit at the street corners singing hymns and sentimental songs in a quavering voice and squeezing uncertain and wheezy accompaniment out of an old concertina. Charlotte died at the city hospital on Friday night. She had for twelve weeks suffered excruciating pain from ulceration of the bowels and she bore her suffering with a meekness and fortitude which would have done credit to one of more saintly pretension then she. Blind George with whom she formed a life partnership some years ago and who also appealed for public aid with the assistance of an asthmatic hand-organ was assiduous, in his attentions upon the old woman and his demonstrations of grief at her death were profoundly pathetic to witness.

Mrs. Mead was accorded a funeral yesterday that she would have been proud of had she known of it. Rev. Dr. Fraser conducted the funeral service and the coffin was borne by Charles Laman, Mr. Edwin, J. E. Applegath, and Major Moore. A decent burial was a luxury upon which the old couple had set their hearts and they has accumulated a sum sufficient to supply that luxury to the one who should die first. Although they often suffered for want of the necessities of life, neither of them would touch this little hoard.

Mrs. Mead had seen better days and there was a romance in her life which it would be charity to partially conceal as it involves several very worthy, esteemed, and innocent persons in Hamilton. She was not always as respectable a woman as she was in her latter years of poverty and humiliation. In early life she was the wife of a respectable citizen of Hamilton, but eloped with another man and was not heard of for many years. A report came that she was dead, and her husband married again. She suddenly returned and succeeded in having the husband punished for bigamy. She herself committed bigamy afterward by going through a form of marriage with Blind George whose name she took.

STEVENSON - The death has just taken place at Niagara of Dr. Robert Stevenson, member of the oldest settled family in Canada.

Dr. Stevenson was the last surviving grandson of Rev. Mr. Addison, the first rector of the ancient St. Mark's Church at Niagara, and also a grandson on the paternal side of Sir John Stevenson, the famous composer of music of many of Moore's melodies. Dr. Stevenson for many years resided at the old homestead, Lakelodge, on the lake road between Niagara and St. Catharines, a property

deeded over 400 years ago to the Addison family by government. The deceased's father was lieutenant in the British army and his brother, Judge Stevenson of Haldimand, died about four years ago.

ROBINSON (Toronto) - Mrs. John Beverly Robinson, wife of the ex-lieutenant-governor of Ontario, died yesterday afternoon. Mrs. Robinson had been ailing for the past three weeks and while in a weakened state contracted pneumonia which ended fatally yesterday. Mrs. Robinson was a daughter of the late Judge Hagerman in whose office John Beverly Robinson as a young man studied law. She was a lady particularly fitted to shine in the high social position that she has occupied all her life, and it is not stating anything invidious to say that Government House never had a hostess who was so completely at home as the lady who died yesterday. Her reign at the gubernatorial residence was the most brilliant period of its history. She had a sweet natural voice and a decided taste for music, a taste of which her daughters have inherited a large share. She also possessed a perfect genius for making social events of all kinds a success.

SADLEIR - Died at his residence, 12 Main street east, on Monday evening, January 18, 1892, in the 67th year of his age, Charles A. Sadlier, barrister-at-law, native of Tipperary, Ireland. Funeral on Thursday, January 21, at 3 o'clock. Friends will kindly not send flowers.

SADLEIR - Until the past year or so, the venerable form of C. A. Sadleir, barrister, was one of the best known figures on the streets of Hamilton and many will hear of his death which occurred shortly after 7 o'clock last evening at his residence on Main street with regret. He had been confined to the house for over a year suffering from a complication of diseases which were gradually wasting his aged frame. Last summer he was removed to Port Dover for several months in hopes that the change might prove beneficial, but did not improve, and since that time has been slowly sinking. He was singularly free from pain, however, and passed peacefully away.

Mr. Sadleir was the oldest practising barrister in Ontario, having been admitted to the bar in 1847 at Kingston where he was studying law at the same time as the late Sir John Macdonald. In the same year he settled in Hamilton and entered into partnership with the late H. B. Wilson. Later on he became a partner of the present Judge Burton of the high court and the firm did the largest commercial business in Canada thirty-five years ago.

It is said that in those days it was not unusual for them to have as many as one hundred cases on the list at a single court. The rules in regard to bringing down cases of trial was then different and the dockets were larger, but that will give some idea of the business done. Mr. Sadleir was the counsel for the firm, Mr. Burton being the consulting member, and his colleagues say that his power with a jury was remarkable. Subsequently the firm went largely into real estate during the boom here incidental to the building of the G. W. Railway. After the dissolution of the partnership which lasted fifteen years, Mr. Sadleir continued to practise alone for some years and also in partnership with his son, the late H. H. Sadleir who died in June, 1876. In recent years the deceased had acted as special examiner for the court here, a position which was subsequently so ably assumed by his youngest daughter who was the first lady examiner appointed in Ontario.

Mr. Sadleir was born in Scalaheen, county Tipperary, Ireland, on April 8, 1825, being the only son of Major Sadleir, an officer in the British Army. He came to Canada in 1838 and settled in Kingston, finishing his education at the Upper Canada College.

He was twice married, his first wife being a daughter of James Durand, registrar of Kingston, by whom he had two children, both of whom are dead. His second wife was Miss Wetenhall, daughter of the late James Wetenhall. His son, C. A. Sadleir, was until recently clerk of the Legislative Assembly at Winnipeg, but resigned to enter the church, and is now studying at Wycliffe College, Toronto.

He leaves four daughters, two of whom are married: Mrs. E.Cowdry, Simcoe, and Mrs. J. O. Grahame, Kamloops, B.C. The deceased was highly respected by all who knew him and especially by members of the bar. He was a courteous and genial gentleman, possessing admirable qualities of head and heart which commanded the esteem of all who had the pleasure of his acquaintance.

HEATH - James Heath died yesterday afternoon after a short illness at his residence, corner of Peter and Pearl streets.

He died at six o'clock last night. He leaves two daughters and five sons.

MCFEE (Toronto) - In a wretched room over Hermann's bakery store, 150 York street, Mrs. Mary McFee, a widow, 42 years of age, was found dead yesterday afternoon about four o'clock. She had been drinking heavily for some time and a number of empty bottles were found in the room. When found she was lying on a mat in front of the bed, face down, and the body was quite warm, death evidently having taken place only a short time before. Dr. Pollard who was passing at the time was called in and after an examination declared that death resulted from suffocation.

CRAWFORD (Ottawa) - Mrs. Crawford, principal of Coligny College, died early this morning of pneumonia after an illness of only four days.

Mr. McCarter was born April 1, 1811, one and half miles distant from the pretty little town of Newbliss, county Monaghan, Ireland. He came to Canada in 1842 and having spent five years in Hamilton and the township of Saltfleet, he afterward located in Caistor in 1847 when it was a wilderness and modern advantages were scarcely dreamed of. Here he created his home and commenced life in comparative solitude. In spite of the toils and cares to which he was subject, he ever had a pleasant greeting for his many friends. He was a Presbyterian and had been a member of that Christian body for upwards of sixty years. In politics he was a staunch Conservative and well deserved the approbation of the party as he never failed in performing his duty at the time of a contest. He was an Orangeman who knew and felt the

benefits of the order and never failed to march on the 12th of July but once in thirty years. He is the last of a family of five of Ireland's worthiest sons and a daughter who have been borne through the silent stream. Three nephews and a niece, together with many friends, mourn their loss.

LONG - Stephen Albert Long, a bright lad of 19 years, son of D. H. Long, saloon keeper, corner of Jackson and John streets, left home this morning in good health and spirits. Four hours later his lifeless body, riddled with a charge of shot, was brought home to his loving father and mother. He met his death while out hunting with a companion. It was the old story of boys fooling with firearms.

About ten o'clock young Long, William Gowland, and James Neville, all boys, started out in a cutter to go shooting. They all had guns. They drove to the Royal Oak hotel, John Carr's old place, over the mountain, and now kept by James Neville. They left the rig there and taking their guns, they went into the bush to shoot. Just how the terrible accident occurred it is hard to say, young Gowland being so excited as to be unable to tell a connected story.

To a reporter he said, "When we were in the bush Jimmy Neville got on the fence and Al (young Long) pushed his off. Al got on the fence and I gave him a couple of kicks and got on the fence. We were poking each other with our guns. Al caught mine near the trigger and it went off. I did not raise the hammer, but I think I must have caught it on the rail when he took hold of it. Al fell over and did not speak. I took hold of him, but he was dead". Gowland told his story between sobs. He and the deceased were chums and he was deeply affected at his death. The poor lad must have died immediately after he was shot. The shot entered below the right shoulder and left an ugly wound. Young Gowland is positive that he did not raise the hammer because he did not see anything to shoot.

After the accident the boys returned to the hotel and with the assistance of Mr. Neville they carried the body from the bush and brought it to the city. When the sleigh containing the lifeless body of his son to Long and the members of his family had a terrible shock. Tenderly the body was carried upstairs and what was four hours before a happy home was the scene of agonizing grief. The lad was a great favourite and his death is sadly felt by his relatives and friends.

Young Gowland is a son of William Gowland, proprietor of the Court House hotel. He is a sharp, curly-haired boy about the same age as his companion. According to his story the shooting was due to their carelessness in handling the guns. The accident occurred about noon.

An inquest will be likely held.

CLARK - There died at his residence in Barton township on the mountain on Sunday morning a well known and deservedly popular citizen, George Clark. Mr. Clark was born in Fraserborough, Scotland, nearly 74 years ago. He enlisted in the 83rd Highlanders and during a service of ten years and a half saw much of the world and participated in many a glorious battle in which his famous regiment distinguished itself. After quitting the army, Mr. Clark came to Canada. He resided in Glanford township for about thirty years and then came to Barton. He successfully carried on dairy farming for twenty-two years and raised a family of stalwart sons and daughters who are of the most popular young men and women in the county.

Mr. Clark never took much interest in public affairs, devoting his whole time to the care of his family and farm. He was a Presbyterian. He had been ill for some time with grip which finally carried him off. He leaves a widow and four sons and five daughters who have the sympathy of an unusually wide circle of friends, and the fact that nearly all the members of the family who are at home are laid up with the grip adds to the general sympathy. The funeral will take place to-morrow at 2 p.m.

STEVENS (Toronto) - The cloud of mystery which has been hanging over the disappearance of Robert Stevens has at last been penetrated. The unfortunate man's body was found by the merest chance yesterday afternoon in the pavillion at High Park, covered with a winding sheet of snow which had drifted in on him during the heavy storm of Monday and Tuesday of last week. The body was found by James Sibbald of 1 Maple Grove avenue.

On passing the pavillion his attention was attracted by a peculiarly shaped heap of snow which on investigating he found to cover the body of a man. He immediately called two men to whom he had been talking and all three started for No 6 police station and notified the sergeant in charge. Constable Little was immediately sent out and he reported to Coroner Lynd who went out in the patrol wagon to view the body, and mounted policeman Rutherford saw the body before being disturbed, and from the position it occupied the deceased must have entered the pavillion and immediately sat on the bench at the left of the door, as the body was lying as if it had fallen forward from the seat and rolled partly on the back. The legs were bent, the right one more than the left. His feet were under the bench and the right hand which still held a revolver rested lightly on the inside of the left thigh. There was a bullet hole through the head, going in at the right temple and out on the left side above the ear. His hat was lying on the floor near him as were also his pipe and tobacco, and the paper box in which the revolver was wrapped when he bought it.

In his pockets were a number of papers, his gloves, a number of pieces of pencil, his keys, and a purse which contained three one-dollar bills.

After carefully considering the circumstances, Coroner Lynd concluded that the unfortunate man had suicided while suffering from mental aberration and decided not to hold an inquest as there was no evidence of foul play whatever. The funeral of the deceased will take place on Tuesday at 10 o'clock from the home of his family and the remains will be buried in Mount Pleasant cemetery beside his four-year-old daughter who died two or three years ago.

Many a heart in Hamilton is sad to-day because of the death of Edward Mitchell. Few citizens of this town have been so well beloved by so many people as he. His was one of those warm-hearted, generous, sympathetic natures which attract friends and hold them. His loss is deeply and widely mourned and his memory will be green in the minds of many until they follow him into the unknown land.

Mr. Mitchell had been in poor health for a long time and four weeks ago he went to Buffalo and entered Dr. Pierce's sanitarium. His health seemed to improve and last Monday he felt strong enough to come home for a visit. But he took a chill on the journey and went back to Buffalo the same day. Pneumonia set in and Mr. Mitchell rapidly grew worse, his heart being seriously affected. Towards the end of the week his condition was so critical that his friends Mr. Roberts, of the Bank of Commerce, Hugh Murray, and J. J. Mason went to Buffalo to see him. Their presence evidently cheered him. Yesterday his condition appeared to improve. His attending physician pronounced him to be much better, and Messrs Roberts, Murray, and Mason returned

home yesterday, having a good hope that he would yet pull through. But to-day their hopes were cruelly eclipsed by the sad news of his death. He died at 4:30 this morning. Messrs Mason and Roberts will go to Buffalo this afternoon and will return to-night with the body of their friend. The funeral is fixed for Wednesday.

The deceased gentleman was 51 years of age. He was a native of Scotland and came to Canada with his parents when a boy. During his youth he lived in Caledonia where he learned a trade. Coming to Hamilton he was employed as a clerk in the sheriff's office. Afterward he was on the local staff of the "Evening Times". In 1868 he entered the Bank of Commerce as teller and continued in the service of the bank until his final retirement in 1886. His business capacity was speedily recognized and his promotion from teller to assistant inspector, assistant manager, and manager were rapid. For five years before his retirement he was manager of the Hamilton branch of the bank.

Mr. Mitchell was twice married. His first wife was a Mrs. Bruce and his second wife, who survives him, was the widow of the late George Worthington. Mrs Mitchell has been in poor health for some time and it is feared that, her husband's death will prove a prostrating blow to her.

Mr. Mitchell was internationally known as a freemason and had attained high rank in that order. He wis initiated as a member of St. Andrew's lodge 63, Caledonia, on April 8, 1863, and affiliated with Acacia Lodge 6L, Hamilton, December 23, 1864. He was a master of Acacia lodge from December 1867 to December 1870. He was a Royal Arch mason, being principal of St. John's chapter for several terms. He had also been past eminent preceptory of Godfrey de Bouillon, and was a member of the Royal order of Scotland. He was appointed grand treasurer of the Grand Lodge of Canada in 1876 and was grand treasurer of the Grand Chapter. Two years ago he was elected with J. J. Mason as a member of 380, A & A.S.R.

Mr. Mason telegraphed John Ross Robertson, grand master, about Mr. Mitchell's death and he will likely attend the funeral.

In his will Mr. Mitchell expressed a wish to be buried by his brethren and that his 32 degree sash presented to him by his old friend, J. W. Morton, be buried with him. W. Roberts and John Ross Robertson are the executors of his will.

MEWBURN - Died at his late residence, 262 Main street west, Hamilton, on Monday, March 7, 1892, Thomas Chilton Mewburn, inspector of customs, aged 70 years. Funeral private.

Customs inspector Thomas Chilton Mewburn died at four o'clock this morning at his residence, Main street west. His death was quite unexpected and was learned with surprise as well as profound regret by his numerous friends to-day. Mr. Mewburn had been ailing for about two months, his health having been impaired by an attack of the prevailing influenza. To a man of his active nature and habits, confinement was intolerable and he ventured out too soon after his illness. The result was a relapse, and Mr. Mewburn's naturally strong constitution was seriously impaired. Notwithstanding his weakness he insisted on going to his office and transacting business. He was greatly worried by the Townsend affair and it not unlikely that the anxiety which it caused him by sapping his nervous force had much to do in bringing on his sudden death. Last Friday he rose from his bed with the intention of going to Dundas on business, but the effort brought on an attack of what was thought to be indigestion which prostrated him. Last evening he so far recovered as to be able to come downstairs for tea and he was then quite cheerful and bright. During the night, however, alarming symptoms set in. His condition rapidly grew worse and he died at four o'clock. He was conscious almost to the last. The cause of death was heart failure.

Thomas Chilton Mewburn was born in Whitby, England, January 8, 1822. He was the youngest son of the late Dr. Mewburn of Stamford, Ontario, and came to Canada with his parents in 1832 The family settled at Niagara Falls where the deceased received his education. When the rebellion of 1837 broke out, the young Mewburn volunteered his service to the government, saw

active service, and when the rebellion was over, he was made a captain of the reserve militia. In 1845 he was appointed collector of customs at Port Colborne, but resigned the position in 1851, and coming to Hamilton engaged in the banking business. In October, 1873 he was appointed to the position of customs inspector which he held to his death.

Mr. Mewburn was twice married. His first wife was Miss Jane Gourlay Hamilton, daughter of the Hon. Robert Hamilton of Kingston. When she died she left one daughter, now Mrs. J. W. Young of Carrying Place near Trenton, Ontario. His second wife, who survives him, was Mrs. Baker of this city, a daughter of Dr. B. S. Cory, formerly of Wellington, Ontario. The only issue of the second marriage is Sidney C. Mewburn, barrister, of this city.

Mr. Mewburn was an Episcopalian, one of the oldest members of the Church of the Ascension. He was an ardent loyalist and as one of the promoters and most active members of the Wentworth Historical Association, he did his best to foster in the community a natural spirit and attachment to the imperial throne. Of his private worth it is unnecessary to say much. He was a gentleman in thought and deed with all that term implies.

SWARTZ (London) - A shocking suicide occurred in the Gore of Westminster, a few miles south of this city, on Friday morning. Mahlon A. Swartz dressed himself and went about his chores as usual. He brought into the house a large quantity of wood and then went out again, the family suspecting nothing amiss. Procuring a can of coal oil the unfortunate man went a short distance from the house at the rear, and deliberately poured the contents of the can over his head and about his clothes, completely saturating them. Then he struck a match, applied the light to his coat, and in a moment was in a blaze. The flames shot up above the tops of the surrounding trees and burned very furiously. The writhing victim's cries brought out his wife who hurriedly procured a quilt which she endeavoured to throw about her husband, but he sternly warned her to keep away lest she should be burned, and when she continued to approach he fought her off and finally ran away, until exhausted he fell down and after a few moments of excruciating agony, death relieved him.

The remains were burned to a crisp. Deceased at one time lived near Aylmer where he was unfortunate in business, and twice before attempted his life, once by cutting his throat with a jack knife, inflicting a terrible gash, and again by jumping from a hay mow, endeavouring to alight on his head.

But last week Mr. McLellan had an attack of his old nervous trouble, and the doctors at the sanitarium regretfully informed him that they could hold out no hope of a permanent cure. Last Saturday he returned home. Although not at all well, he had purposed to be in his office to-day, but yesterday afternoon he suddenly became ill, the symptoms being such as usually seen in cases of paralysis. He soon became unconscious and at two o'clock this afternoon was still in a comatose condition and rapidly growing weaker.

STENEBAUGH, Stenabaugh (Jerseyville) - The funeral of Mrs. Philip Stenebaugh was very largely attended on Wednesday last.

FINTON - Thomas Finton, one of Stony Creek's oldest and most respected citizens, died on Sunday. The deceased has been ailing but a short time and the disease was not thought to be serious. His illness took a violent turn and he expired in a few minutes. He was born at the Horsehead in Pennsylvania over 86 years ago. He came to Canada when young, and after a few years married the eldest daughter of the late Elias Pettit by whom he had several children. In 1857 death claimed his beloved partner, and for several years he remained a widower. He again married and by his second wife had one child who still survives. His second wife died four years ago. His sons are Elijah, Thomas, and George who are all highly respected residents of Saltfleet. His daughters, Miss Dela who resides with her brother Elijah, and Mrs. Thomas Boden still survive him.

The deceased was of a retiring disposition, never taking a very prominent part in public life, a firm Conservative in politics. In religion he was a Methodist and had read the family Bible through four times. He selected his own funeral text; namely, Psalms xxxvii, 25, "Once I was young but am now old, but never have I seen the righteous defiled nor be seen begging bread", from which the Rev. Mr. Hockey delivered a very touching discourse. The remains were interred in the Stony Creek cemetery in the presence of a large concourse of friends.

MCLELLAN - It is the opinion of those who knew the late ex-mayor McLellan that he wore out his life in hard work. He undertook more than most men of robust physique would have cared to undertake and all his numerous and varied duties he strove to discharge with thoroughness. The task was too great and his constitution broke under it. Mr. McLellan was a native Canadian of

highland Scotch extraction, having been born in Toronto in January, 1841. His father, Malcolm McLellan was a merchant tailor. After spending four years with the firm of Robert Walker & Sons of Toronto, Mr. McLellan, then a mere youth, crossed the line, living for a while in Buffalo, and afterward in Louisville, Kentucky. In 1861 he returned to Toronto and engaged in the grocery business, and ten years later he settled in Hamilton and began business here, but in 1871 he retired from mercantile life upon being appointed agent of the Royal Insurance Company. His connection with that company was maintained until his death.

In 1876 Mr. McLellan was elected an alderman and in that capacity he served the city well during his aldermanic career, particularly as chairman of the markets, fire, and police committees. In 1890 he was elected mayor and was returned unopposed last year.

In 1879 Mr. McLellan was appointed by the city council as its representative on the Board of Education in the interests of the Collegiate Institute and in 1883 he was made chairman of the board.

He was one of the most widely known Freemasons in the Dominion and had attained to high rank in the order. He was registrar of the Grand Lodge of Canada, past eminent preceptor of Godfrey de Bouillon preceptory, K.T., and grand scribe of the Royal Arch chapter, and had obtained what is considered the highest degree in masonry, the 23rd (32^nd?) degree in the Scottish Rite. He was also a member of the Royal Arcanum and A.O.U.W., and he had taken office in both societies.

A member of Knox church, Mr. McLellan’s activity and business ability soon brought him into prominence in church affairs and he was during many years treasurer of the church, an elder, and a representative to the presbytery and assembly.

Other positions which he held were those of treasurer of the Y.M.C.A., secretary of the Bible Society, and director of the Art school and society for the prevention of cruelty to animals.

Mr. McLellan is survived by his wife and a family of two sons and three daughters.

Last evening the following telegram was received from H. G. Puriator, commandant of St. Bernard commandery, Knights Templar, Chicago of which the deceased was an honourary member, "Convey to the family the sincere sympathy of every members of St. Bernard dall corps".

The funeral has been fixed for Sunday at 2:30 p.m. It has been delayed in order to allow time for friends to be present who have to come long distance and who are anxious to attend.

A meeting of the City Council has been called for this afternoon to make arrangements for attending the funeral.

STEELE (Sheffield) - George Steele, who has been poorly all winter, died on Tuesday, March 8. He was a victim of that dread illness, consumption. Late in the fall he began to feel its weakening effect for the first, and although he struggled manfully and hopefully against the inevitable, he is so soon cut off. The disease was part of his constitution and had lain dormant so long only to be

the more effective when turned into life. He suffered no pain, but surrounded by loving friends the spark of life became weaker until it simply went out. The funeral, which was largely attended, was under the direction of the Home Circle of which the deceased was a member.

ADDY (Hagersville) - Anthony Addy, a retired farmer, has joined the silent majority.

ROSZEL (Smithville) - Died on Tuesday, March 8, Edwin, youngest son of George Roszel, of the township of Gainsborough. The remains were interred in the St. Ann's cemetery on Thursday, the 10th instant, a large number of sorrowing friends assembling to pay the last tribute of respect.

Lawrason, who passed away at the residence of her son, Silas, in South Grimsby. The remains were conveyed via G.T.R. to St. George, the former home of the family, for interment.

HENNING (Smithville) - Great sympathy is felt by the entire community for Dr. Henning, his second daughter, Jennie, having passed away after a lingering illness on Saturday evening.

When the body was found it is said his pockets had been rifled and a watch he was known to have carried was missing and other indications that he had met with foul play. Those who knew him best seem to think such was not the case. It is said that Martin was addicted to drink and may have met his death by falling into the canal while in a state of intoxication. An inquest will be held on his remains this evening.

ZINGSHEIM - Two or three days ago Jacob Zingsheim, the well known furniture manufacturer, was brought home from Montreal in a dying condition. He had gone to Montreal a week ago, partly on business and partly to consult medical specialists there. Mr. Zingsheim had for several years been bothered with kidney disease and five or six weeks ago his condition grew so serious as to cause his family great anxiety. While in Montreal he suddenly grew worse and was obliged to go into a hospital. Since his return home he steadily sank, and died last evening at seven o'clock. The immediate cause of death was pyemia.

Mr. Zingsheim was one of the most prominent of Hamilton's German citizens and was respected by all for his uprightness, square dealing, and his fine social qualities endeared him to a wide circle of friends. He was born 48 years ago in the village of Moritzheim, Prussia, on the banks of the beautiful Moselle. When nine years old he came to Canada with his parents who settled in Hamilton. For a year or two he was employed in the post office as a messenger, and afterward served his time as a cabinet maker with the late James Reid. Soon after the period of his apprenticeship, he entered into partnership with a companion and started in the furniture business, but lost all he had saved and went back to the bench again. Once more he tried business on his own account, opened a small cabinet-making shop and a retail store in connection with it. He prospered and when the N.P. came into operation he took advantage of it, going into the manufacture of furniture on an extensive scale.

About seventeen years ago Mr. Zingsheim married Miss Zeistein of Rochester, N.Y. She, with six daughters, survives him.

His other living relatives are a brother, Matthew Zingsheim, of Buffalo, and two married sisters, one of whom lives in Hamilton and one in Germany.

Mr. Zingsheim was a member of the German Benevolent Society and had been several times president of the Germania Club. He was also connected with the Catholic Mutual Benefit Association. In religion he was a Roman Catholic and was a faithful and devout son of the church.

The funeral has been arranged to Sunday. The remains will be taken to Rochester where Mrs. Zingsheim has resolved to take up residence.

STONEY - On Saturday, Mr. and Mrs Stoney of 70 Herkimer street, received the terrible tidings that their only son, Henry C. Stoney, had been drowned in the lake near Cobourg. He was a theological student at Victoria university. The particulars of the way in which he came to an untimely death are contained in the following dispatch from Cobourg.

A short time ago Henry C. Stoney, a theological student of Victoria College, bought a centre-board skiff from W. D. Burn,, a gentleman now residing in Toronto. This morning, accompanied by W. P. Herren, a college friend, he went down to the lake to take the first sail of the season, as he ambitiously declared. The water inside the harbour seemed comparatively placid, but sailors could see that a tremendously high sea was running outside the shelter of the long pier. Some men on shore who saw him embarking spoke of the danger of going out in such a sea, but he ignored their caution, although his companion refused to go with him. With a small sail up he glided into the bay end of the harbour. A few minutes afterward the wind was sweeping down the lake from the west, caught the boat in a squall, and almost upset it. The unfortunate student escaped upsetting by letting loose his sheet and coming up in the wind the skiff quickly ran out into the open lake before an irresistible wind which increased violently the further out one went.

It soon became evident to persons on shore that the frail boat and its occupant were drifting helplessly upon huge waves which threatened to overwhelm it every moment. An alarm was soon raised, and D. Rooney, captain of the lifeboat crew, hastened to the lake and four stalwart fishermen, coming to his assistance, made a heroic attempt to rescue the poor fellow who had become sport for the relentless waves. The lifeboat crew worked with desperation to overhaul the runaway skiff, but after pulling hard and gaining on him perceptibly, the wind would catch her

sail and send her scurrying southeastward farther out into the lake. For miles the chase was kept up and after being out three hours, Captain Roony and his crew came within about sixty yards of the little boat. They could see the unfortunate youth kneeling in the bow apparently trying with all his might to pull the mast. Then with his rescuers in sight, a wall of water rose and buried him beneath the waves. He was seen to fall out of the boat and that was the last seen of him. With the utmost difficulty the lifeboat crew reached shore and effected a landing at Grafton harbour. Several times they were nearly overwhelmed by the tremendous seas. The young man perished between three and four miles out from Grafton harbour.

He was 23 years of age and a probationer in the Niagara conference of the Methodist church. He took courses in divinity at the Montreal Theological College and also at Victoria College and was in the fourth year of his probation, looking forward to his ordination in June next. He was a young man of kind disposition and good ability, and was held in high esteem by all his friends and fellow students. The sad loss of his life which was thrown away through some strange infatuation, has cast a gloom ever the college and town, and deep sympathy is universally expressed for his bereaved parents whose grief is inconsolable. There in not much chance that the body will be recovered at this season of the year.

MORETON - On Saturday evening the Hon. Mrs. Reynolds Moreton, wife of the pastor of St. John's Presbyterian church, passed from this life after an illness of only a few days. The immediate cause of death was heart failure, induced by a complication of heart and lung complaints.

The deceased lady was a daughter of Rev. R. Mahony and was born in Dromore castle, county Kerry, Ireland. She was descended from the Blakes of county Galway, one of the oldest baronetcys in the British Isles, and was an aunt of Lord Woolvett and Lady Norreys, and cousin of Lord Ventry, the Marchioness of Conyngham and countess of Hopetown. She was the second wife of Hon. Reynolds Moreton. Her three children, a son and two daughters are at present in Hamilton. Since Hon. Mr. Moreton took up his residence at Hamilton, Mrs. Moreton had with her two daughters divided her time between here and England, and arrangements had already been completed for them to reside on the Isle of Wight this summer.

The funeral will take place from St. John's church at 3 p.m. to-morrow. No service will be held at the home. It is the request of the family that no flowers or wreaths shall be sent. Thomas C. Watkins has kindly placed his vault in the cemetery at the disposal of the family, and the remains will be deposited there.

She made her way to the door leading to the yard and screamed for help. A boy named Bell driving a bread wagon noticed her and gave the alarm when John Williams rushed in, but left immediately and sent an alarm to the fire department. Capt.Benjamin Back heard the cries and crossed the back yards. As he reached the door the unfortunate woman fell to the floor and as he got into the room the body was all ablaze. He seized a quilt and threw it over her and also a quantity of water on the fire which had caught the wool carpet. The husband, who was among the first to arrive on the scene, was badly burned about the hands and arms in his efforts to rescue his wife from her terrible death and is quite heart-broken.

ROWLAND - Frederick Rowland, one of London's most promising business men, died yesterday, aged 76.

CLARKE (Toronto) - The even tenor that generally pervades the old parliament buildings was abruptly broken yesterday afternoon a little before five o'clock. H. E. Clarke, one of the members for Toronto, fell dead on the floor of the house while vigorously supporting the bill introduced by Joseph Tait to amend the assessment act. Mr. Clarke had pointed out by a clear and forcible line of reasoning that the only tax that any individual paid was a tax on personal expenses. His last words were, "The present plan of assessment is only a pawn..." Then without finishing his sentence, he sat down heavily and placed his hands on his forehead. This, Dr. Willoughby of East Northumberland afterward said was the last moment of consciousness of heart action.

Several members of the house who were medical gentlemen hurried to him and did everything for the sufferer that they could devise. But all without any avail. After the doctors had satisfied themselves that life was extinct the deceased gentleman was carried to the reception room of the house.

Mr. Clarke was born at Three Rivers, Quebec, on March 20, 1829. He was a son of Henry Clarke and Ellen Armstrong, both of whom came from Midhill, county of Fermanaugh, Ireland. He received his tuition which comprised a sound and practical English education from public teachers and private instructors, and at fifteen years Mr. Clarke left home to push his fortune in the world. Commerce drew him into the busy and active field. At the age of eighteen he had learned the trade of saddle and trunk making, and found employment in one of the large shops in Montreal. Here he remained until 1845 and then removed to Ottawa, then Bytown, where in the following year he was foreman of the largest saddle shop in the town.

At Ottawa he remained about four years, working diligently and perfecting himself in his trade. Mr. Clarke again returned to Montreal in 1853 and the next year he was sent to Toronto to open a branch trunk store for R. Dean & Co. of Montreal. Mr. Clarke now resolved to carry on business for himself and ten months after his arrival here he bought out the business of R. Dean & Co. Although he had little capital at his command he had industry and perseverance, and the result is that he soon was at the head of one of the largest trunk manufacturing establishments of America and one of the most noted and enterprising of Toronto's citizens.

Although an active man in his own business, yet Mr. Clarke found some time to devote to public affairs. For eight years he was a director of the Mechanics' Institute, was alderman for St. George's ward in 1879, and for St. Andrew's ward for the years 1881, 1882, and 1883. He was chairman of the court of revision in 1881 and one of the executive Committee in 1883. He was elected in 1883 and again in 1887 to represent Toronto West in the Ontario Parliament.

At the last provincial election he was one of the three members to represent the city of Toronto

He was for a time one of the directors of the Federal Bank. As a politician Mr. Clarke achieved distinction and won a high place for himself in the Ontario Legislature. He was an effective speaker and on repeated occasions ably supported his leader, Mr. Meredith, in the active duties of legislation and did good service to his party on the floor of the house. He possessed an active and practical mind, was fairly well read and kept himself posted on all the leading questions of the day in so far as they came under the purview of politics. Lately he took a prominent part in opposing the commercial union of Canada with the United States, feeling that it might tend to an undesirable politcal alliance with the republic and retard the industrial life and development of Canada. On this subject Mr. Clarke contributed his views on the opposite side of the argument to the "Canadian Almanac" for 1888, Erastus Wiman of New York taking the affirmative side. Of other subjects of practical moment in the domain of politics and legislation Mr. Clarke wrote and spoke much, and his views always commanded considerable public attention.

Mr. Clarke was an Orangeman, having joined the order in 1849. He travelled extensively in 1878, visiting London, Edinburgh, Dublin, Belfast, Paris, Geneva, Mt. Blanc, Berne, Lucerne, Munich, Vienna, Trieste, Venice, Florence, Rome, Naples, Pompeii, and other historical places. On his return he delivered a lecture called 'Impressions of a Tour in Europe' in the Richmond street Methodist church and afterward published it in pamphlet form. Mr. Clarke belonged to the Methodist denomination and in politics was a Conservative. He married in May, 1856, Annie, the daughter of the late Thomas Kennedy of Montreal and had a family of three children, a boy and two girls. His son died at the age of 14.

He leaves two daughters, one of whom is Mrs. McMannus of Freelton. Dr. McGregor saw the body yesterday and he says he never saw a human form so completely withered away. Lilly was never a tall man, but at the time of his death he had shrunken to the height and size of a small boy. Up to a recent period his intellect was bright and his memory retentive. For the benefit of people who moralize on these things, it may be mentioned that he used whiskey and tobacco.

The funeral took place at ten o'clock this morning, Father O'Leary officiating.

HOGGBIN (Seaforth) - The hostler of the Queen's hotel found on entering the barn yesterday morning the body of a man lying dead upon the floor with marks of blood on the face and on the floor a short distance from the body. Several recognized the body as that of a man who had been seen about town the previous day. He gave his name as Hoggbin and said he was a carpenter. An inquest was held last evening by Dr. Smith and from medical evidence given as the result of a post mortem examination by Dr. Mackay, the following verdict was rendered at an early hour this morning.

"The deceased came to his death from concussion of the brain, caused by violent contact with a hard, smooth, slightly rounded surface, but whether such injuries were inflicted by a weapon in the hands of some person or by a fall, the jury cannot decide from the evidence so far obtained."

The post mortem examination revealed a very serious fracture of the skull with an indentation as if made by some heavy weapon. There were several fractured ribs and a dislocation of the spinal column. Naturally there is considerable conjecture as to the cause of the unusually severe injuries, but the whole matter seems to be thus far wrapped in mystery.

Mrs. New, widow of the late Daniel New, and mother of Henry New, died this morning. She was ill only two weeks, paralysis of the brain being the cause of death. Mrs. New was 75 years old and had lived in Hamilton for a number of years.

Mrs. Eliza New, widow of the late Daniel New, was born in Kingston, Ontario, December, 1817. She came to Hamilton in the year 1833 and was married the same year to Mr. New. At this time Hamilton seems to have been a suburb of Dundas. Mr. New was compelled to go to the valley city to procure the marriage lines. Six sons and one daughter survive her, together with grandchildren and great-grandchildren to mourn the loss of one who was ever a mother indeed to them all. On the death of her husband in the year 1866, she undertook to carry on her husband's business which she did with singular ability and tact for the space of fifteen years until her children were settled in life. Nor did her untiring energies cease when she relinquished the business. For the poor and needy she was ever ready to be a helper and to the sick and sorrowing a comforter and sympathizing friend. She united with the Baptist church here in its earliest history and was a consistent member throughout her long life. She rests from her labour and her works do follow.

EDGAR (Montreal) - William Edgar, general passenger agent of the Grand Trunk Railway, died at 11 o'clock this morning at his residence, 262 Bishop street, this city. Mr. Edgar has been seriously ill of late. He contracted a severe cold which with the complications arising therefrom was the cause of his death, which was, however not anticipated.

Mr. Edgar was born in Birkenshade, England, in 1841, and has been connected with railway work in Canada for the past 35 years, twenty-five of which were in the service of the Great Western Railway, now a part of the Grand Trunk, and the remaining ten with the latter company. He succeeded to the position held at his death when Sir Joseph Hickson resigned the presidency of the Grand Trunk and was succeeded by Mr. Wainwright, now general manager, but then general passenger agent. Mr. Edgar was a highly esteemed citizen of Montreal, being connected with several benefit and fraternal societies. He was a prominent member of the Sons of England. Mr. Edgar was married but over a little over a year at the time of his demise.

Mr. Edgar, though not a resident of Hamilton for several years, has always been regarded as a Hamilton boy. He came to the city with his father when a boy, learned the railroad business in the office of the Great Western Railway company, worked his way up to the position of general passenger agent of the road, and lived here during the greater part of his life. He was very popular not only among business men but in general society and hundreds of hearts in Hamilton have had a warm corner for 'Billy' Edgar.

MACKENZIE (Toronto) - At 12:40 yesterday, Hon. Alexander Mackenzie breathed his last. The early bulletins had foreshadowed dissolution, but it was only after a protracted struggle that the weary spirit found release.

Mr. Mackenzie, like so many prominent men, was a Scotchman, born at Logierait, near the famous pass of Killiecrankie, on January 28, 1822. He had thus completed the allotted three score and ten when summoned home. His father was in the middle walks of life, of a strong Whig family, and the future premier got the usual schooling of a middle-class Scotch boy, some five years in all. When he was fourteen, his father died, and he set to work as a stone mason's apprentice. When he was 20, he emigrated to Canada and settled in Kingston, working at his trade and taking a keen interest in politics.

The late Sir John A. Macdonald and the Hon. Oliver Mowat were also in Kingston at the same time. In 1874, Mr. Mackenzie, together with his brother, Hope F. Mackenzie, moved to the neighbourhood of Sarnia. For a time he continued in his business as a builder and contractor; then his interest in politics found a vent, and in 1852, he was editing the "Lambton Shield" in the Liberal interest. His editorial work soon attracted attention, and in 1861 he succeeded his brother, Hope F. Mackenzie, as M.P. for Lambton. Once in parliament his powers in debate and acquaintance with politics, present and past, placed him in the forefront, and he was a prominent supportor of the Sandfield Macdonald-Sicotte, and Macdonald-Dorion ministeries. The ministry having fallen, he was a supporter of Confederation. After Confederation he became leader of the Liberals in lieu of Hon. George Brown who had been defeated in South Ontario, and in 1873, in consequence of the Pacific scandal, he came to office.

From thence to 1878 Mr. Mackenzie was premier and distinguished himself by the great amount of practical work he acomplished. Among the acts passed by his ministry may be mentioned the grand election law, the controverted elections act, the independence of parliament, the homestead exemption act, the act relating to the extradition of criminals, the Canadian Pacific act, etc.

In 1878 Mr. Mackenzie's government was overthrown on the tariff question and he became once more leader of the opposition until April, 1880, when his party deposed him for Mr. Blake. In 1882 he gave up his old constituency of Lambton and was for East York of which he was the member up to his death.

Mr. Mackenzie was married twice, his first wife being Miss Helen Neil of Irvine, Scotland. She died in 1857, and in 1858 he married Miss Jane Sym, who still survives. By his first wife he had one daughter who is married to Rev. John Thompson, Presbyterian minister of Sarnia.

In 1879 shortly after the change of leadership took place, the first symptoms of disease made their appearance in a partial loss of speech, followed by a loss of power in his left side. These symptoms did not improve but rather steadily advanced, the infirmity of speech increasing in its severity. Mr. Mackenzie, however, was able to attend parliament and attend to his duties till February 2, 1892. While about to enter his carriage to go to his office, he fell and was carried into the house, when it was found that the loss of power or motion was complete in the left side,

also partial loss of sensation. His articulation became more indistinct and difficult to understand. He seemed to improve somewhat occasionally until about four weeks ago when his mind became impaired, but he would answer questions correctly occasionally.

During a great portion of his illness to within a few days of his death he was able to take some food and enjoy it. The last week he took almost nothing of any kind of nourishment.

Mr. Mackenzie possessed wonderful vitality, clinging to life as long as it was possible. His life was worn out, a case of pure exhaustion.

According to present arrangements, the funeral will be conducted as follows: On Wednesday at, 2 p.m. a service will be held at the Jarvis Street Baptist church after which the remains will be taken to Sarnia, arriving at 2 p.m. The funeral service at that place will be held at 2:30 on Thursday, and the interment will take place in the family plot in Lakeview cemetery. A special train will be arranged to leave this city at 4:35 a.m. on Thursday to enable those who wish to attend the funeral at Sarnia to arrive there on time.

This was followed by a deathly pallor and a moment afterward the man was dead. The cause was attributed to heart failure.

The funeral took place on Saturday and was largely attended.

WALKER (Beamsville) - Mr. Walker, whose serious illness was alluded to last week, died on Friday evening last. From the first his illness baffled the skill of his physician.

He was closely related to the Stinsons of Hamilton.

REED - Died on Thursday, April 21, at his late residence, township of Glanford, Nathaniel Reed, Sr., aged 87 years. Funeral on Saturday, April 23, at 11 o'clock. Friends will please accept this intimation.

There has just passed away at a ripe old age and full of honour one of the most respected citizens of the township of Glanford. Nathaniel Reed, Sr., was born in Suffolk, England, on April 9, 1805. During his life and early manhood Mr. Reed exhibited a great deal of that industry which

in after life made his success so conspicuous. At 23 years of age he married Miss Mary Spink and the youthful couple decided to make Canada their home. They arrived in the Gore of Toronto in July, 1805. At that time that part of Ontario was a wilderness but Mr. Reed determined to make himself a home and a competence. The dense wilderness soon yielded to his energy and ere many years had passed, he found himself the possessor of a comfortable home, surrounded by a young family of seven children.

For years serving his country and training his children to become good citizens he continued to prosper until he found himself in a position to retire with a competency. He sold his property in the Gore of Toronto and moved to the township of Glanford, county of Wentworth, in the year 1855 where he at once became a favourite with all whom he came in contact with. In the year 1840 he became a member of the Methodist church and for many years filled the most important offices in the gift of his fellow church members. In politics the Liberal party always received his support. He leaves an aged widow who for over half a century has proven in the best sense of the term a worthy helpmate.

Three children survive their aged father and each of whom is filling a position in life in a manner creditable to so good a father, amply justifying the scriptural injunction, "Train a child in the way he should go and when he is old he will not depart from it". He leaves a large number of grandchildren of every one of whom it may be said that truth and virtue is the guiding star. Mr. Reed deserves to have inscribed on his headstone, "In memory of one whose life was made up of virtue, truth, and honour". No greater monument need mortal man crave to have.

STONE - Died on April 21, Mrs. Mary Stone, aged 73 years. Funeral from the establishment of Chapman & Sons, undertakers, 59 King street west, Friday afternoon at 2 o'clock.

CALDWELL (Sydney, C.B.) - Quite a sensation was caused at Sydney Mines to-day by the finding of the lifeless body of James Caldwell at the foot of the cliff near Battery Point in that town. The deceased had been in North Sydney last evening, but drank considerable liquor before starting for home. He was seen for the last time at Sydney Mines about 11 o'clock last night. It is quite evident that death was caused by his fall from the cliff.

HAYES (Toronto) - About 5520 a.m. yesterday the dead body of Pat Hayes, a shoemaker, was found on George street near the Esplanada. The body was taken to the morgue, but an inquest was not considered necessary as the medical examination showed that death was caused by heart failure.

WILLIAMS (Quebec) - At 4:30 o'clock this afternoon the tolling of the English Cathedral announced the painful tidings that the Right Rev. Dr. Williams, lord bishop of Quebec, had passed away to his reward. The deceased prelate was a near relative of both Sir George Prevost, a former governor-general of Canada and of Isaac Williams, the poet and Biblical expositor. An Englishman by birth, after having visited New Zealand with a party of engineers and becoming enamoured of the self-denying and manly qualities of Bishop Selwyn, he entered Oxford, and a few years after ordination came to Canada as headmaster of the Lennoxville school. His love of athletic sport made him the idol of the boys, many of whom, such as Hon. J. S. Hall, Provincial treasurer, are to-day among the foremost men of the country. In 1863 he was elected to succeed Bishop Mountain in the Episcopal see of Quebec. He leaves a widow and one son, Rev. Lennox Williams, rector of St. Matthew's church in this city.

Only a week ago last night, the deceased prelate held a confirmation service in the cathedral. His illness which had developed into inflammation of the lungs only assumed a serious form on Sunday last. He was conscious until an hour or two of his death. Archdeacon Roe of Lennoxville arrived here this afternoon to see him but only a few minutes before the bishop breathed his last.

The funeral which will be attended by the clergy of the diocese will take place Saturday afternoon. The synod will be called in about six weeks to select a successor to the bishop and the choice is likely to be between Bishop Hamilton of Niagara, Canon Dumoulin of Toronto, Dean Carmichael of Montreal, Dean Norman of Quebec, Archdeacon Roe, Rev.

CLAY (Montreal) - Those who have known George Clay, the coloured pullman porter who has for some time past run on the Montreal and Vancouver route, will know him no more. Two days ago Clay went out from the Lachine where he lived to shoot muskrats, being accompanied by a friend. At night the latter returned and reported that he had lost sight of Clay about a mile from town, but that in all probability he would soon turn up. The supposition, however, has never been verified, for the well known porter was never again seen alive, and in fact no trace of him was discovered until this morning. While a Canadian Pacific train was approaching the company's bridge, an employee was surprised to see the body of a man floating in a deep ditch alongside the track, and upon slowing up, the body was soon recognized as that of the missing man, Clay. There was great excitement at first as murder was supposed to have been committed. The poor fellow's head was badly bruised, an eye knocked out, and his gun was lying on the bank some yards away. One theory is that Clay might have jumped from the train, thus sustaining fatal injuries, and on starting to walk could have fallen into the ditch which is full of water at this

season. His companion tells a story to the effect that a short time after he had parted with Clay, the discharge of a gun was heard, and at the time of writing there are three theories: accidental death, suicide, and murder, all of which say the residents of Lachine will be carefully inquired into.

Prittie, 144 Shannon street, were playing with some other boys in a sand pit on Shannon street when the bank caved in and suffooated all three of them.

Dr. Ray, Dr. Hunter, and several other doctors were on hand shortly afterward, but though they worked hard, their efforts were in vain. The youngest son of Mr. Lucas was alive when rescued from the pit, but he was too far gone to be revived. The sand pit is a vacant lot on Shannon street where a cellar had been dug out and left open and the boys while playing in the sand on Thursday had dug a pit while the sand was wet, but yesterday the sand being dry, it caved in.

Bennett, butcher, committed suicide by hanging himself in his slaughterhouse which is just beyond the western limit of the city near the agricultural showground.. An evening paper gives the following particulars.

At about ten o'clock this morning a lad named Fred Klienbiel, aged 8, was passing the slaughterhouse of the late R. N. Bennett, butcher, which is situated on a lot a short distance west of agricultural building, when he saw a man hanging from a rope in the interior of the building. He ran a short distance to a field where his father, H. Klienbiel, and a man named Fred Smith, were working and reported what he had seen. They went to the place as quickly as possible and were horrified to find what the lad had stated was only too true. Suspended in mid air was the lifeless form of Fred Bennett. They examined him and found that he was dead. As soon as possible a telephone message was dispatched to the police station, informing the officers of the affair.

Chief Newton, officers Cook and Morton, and reporter of this journal were soon on the scene. Officer Cook cut the rope and the body was lowered to the floor, but life bad been extinct for some time. The unfortunate young man had, from appearances, taken every precaution to make the attempt a successful one.

A hemp rope of half an inch in thickness had been fastened to a block, the latter being attached to a rafter in the centre of the barn. After making a noose and placing it around his neck, he jumped from a loft in which was stored hay, to the floor below. The distance was about eight feet, six inches, and when the rope was taut his feet were only some four of five Inches from the floor. The drop was of sufficient height to have broken his neck, but such was not the case. The knot had been carefully made and placed under the right ear. The rope being rather small, had made a deep impress on the neck. The face was somewhat discoloured, but the features were not distorted.

Dr. Farley, coroner, was summoned, and after learning the facts of the case, did not consider it necessary for an inquest as it was a case of premeditated suicide. He stated that the young man had died from suffocation. An order was given for the removal of the body and it was taken to the residence of Joseph Woodley on Sinclair street, who is an uncle of the victim.

RUHL (Elmwood) - Conrad Ruhl, a machinist, was instantly killed in the sawmill here last night by the breaking of the large driving belt. Dr. Cooke of Chesley, coroner, held an inquest this morning. Deceased was about 50 years of age and leaves a wife and six children in poor circumstances.

April 28, 1892

FRASER - Early this morning the body of Hugh Fraser of Bullock's corners was found in Clark's mill pond. The residents cannot make up their minds whether it is a case of suicide or accidental drowning. Mr. Fraser was a son of the late Hugh Fraser who used to keep a store at the Corners. Since the death of the father, the young man has lived with his mother and sisters. Their house is close to the mill pond.

During the winter Mr. Fraser suffered from the grip and was very ill at one time, but he recovered from it. He left the house yesterday morning, bidding his mother and sisters good-bye but they did not think there was anything strange about that. When he did not return at noon and was still missing at tea time, his relatives became alarmed. A searching party was organized but no trace of him could be found. Another search was initiated this morning. The deceased's hat was found on the bank and the searchers then knew that he had been drowned. The body was found in the mill pond a short distance from the shore.

The residents are inclined to believe that Fraser was suffering from temporary insanity and that he committed suicide. Others believe that he was accidentally drowned. He appeared to be in good health when he left the house in the morning. An inquest will be held this afternoon or this evening.

The deceased was unmarried and was about 35 years old.

Willie, a young son of George V. Crockett, who was with the unfortunates, says that they were playing on a raft when, by some means, they all fell off together. Willie managed to get out and drag himself home, but by the time he reached there was so chilled and ill that he could not give any account of himself. The other boys, one the third son of F. Daley, V.S., named Fred, aged ten years, and George, fourth son of Richard Peering, aged 8 years, were not missed till supper time. Inquiry being made for them, it came out that they had been seen near the pond. By this time it had become dark and all the village turned out with lanterns and dragged the pond, resulting in finding their bodies near where the raft lay, about midnight. It is particularly sad in the case of Deering, for it is only four months ago that his second son was killed by a falling tree. The stricken parents have the sympathy of the whole village.

NENGEL (Halifax) - A tragic affair occurred at the dry dock this afternoon. The steamer "Wilhem Oeleaner", which ran ashore at the mouth of the harbour, is in the dock for repairs. Three of the crew were standing on the dock this afternoon, semi-intoxicated, and conversing in a loud tone. They made a wager for the beer that one of them, Carl Nengel, a fireman, could not walk from the steamer along one of the stays to the dock. The distance was about fifteen feet and the stay was round and only five inches in diameter. Nengel started on his fatal trip, the ship's company by this time watching him attempt the foolhardy feat. When a little more that half way across, he staggered, lost his balance, and fell. The poor man tried to save himself from the certain death that awaited him on the granite bottom of the dock, thirty feet below, by clinging to the stay. It was of no avail, and after a momentary struggle, he dropped to death. His skull was crushed and his body frightfully disfigured. He was 22 years of age, unmarried, and a native of Luebeck, Germany. The two men who won their bet of the beer but saw their mate die, are Otto Sonntagg and Carl Lichie.

to the moment when she was stricken down.

NICHOLSON - The death was announced in Montreal yesterday of Peter Nicholson, one of the city's best known builders, in his 71st year.

MUNZINGER - An octogenarian, John M. Munzinger, ended his life by taking a dose of strychnine shortly before noon to-day. He was one of the oldest and best known of the German citizens. For years he kept a bookbinding establishment on York street between Macnab and Park streets, but for the past few years he has lived with his son-in-law, Frank Kelk, 33 Bay street north. He was a genial and good-natured old gentleman and was highly esteemed.

For some time past, however, he had been troubled with gangrene of the foot and was unable to leave his bed. He was attended in his illness by Dr. Mullin. The foot became so bad that the doctor contemplated making an amputation, but after an examination he decided that this course would not be advisable as there were other complications besides the gangrene. His illness and his helplessness on account of old age worried Mr. Munzinger greatly and he suffered terrible pain from the foot.

For twenty years he had kept a bottle of strychnine in the house and in a moment of great pain he dragged himself out of bed, and getting the poison he took a large dose.

No doubt the old gentleman thought he had not long to live and to end his suffering, he took his own life. But shortly after taking the poison, he regretted the rash act and wanted to live. He called his wife and told her what he had done. Mrs. Munzinger was greatly distressed. Messages were sent for doctors and Dr. Abraham was the first to arrive. To him Mr. Munzinger admitted that he had taken the poison and asked him to get a stomach pump. Drs. McGilivray and Mullin afterward arrived, but before they reached the house, the old man was dead. He died half an hour after taking the poison.

When a reporter called at the home the body was lying on the bed. The mouth was ptrtly open and the features were distorted, giving the idea that the deceased had suffered great pain. Mrs. Munzinger and her daughters were much distressed. The old man had never hinted at suicide and it was a great shock to them.

Mr. Munzinger was about 80 years old and was born in Germany. He had been a resident of Hamilton for thirty-six years.

Coroner White was summoned, but after investigating the facts, he decided that an inquest was unnecessary.

On Saturday a terribly sad accident occurred in the western part of the city, resulting in the death of Frank Keller, 63 Locke street north. Shortly before seven o'clock James Cheeseman, a butcher on the market, was driving north on Sophia street when his horse became unmanageable and dashed into the curb, upsetting the vehicle and breaking the shafts. Mr. Cheeseman was slightly hurt. As there was a lot of stuff in the wagon to be delivered, Frank Keller, who lives on the opposite side of Victoria Park, took his own wagon and hitched up Mr. Cheeseman's horse, started out to get his goods, and deliver them. He had with him his little son, George. Immediately after leaving the house, the horse again became unmanageable and dashed down Locke street. Keller and his son, George, held on the reins and did their best to pull the animal up, but in vain. At the corner of Locke and King streets the horse bolted westward and upset the wagon. Keller was thrown out on his head against the curb and his hands being entangled in the lines, he was dragged along under the wagon for some yards and then flung on to the boulevard. His son, George, was knocked senseless. Keller was carried into an adjoining house until the

ambulance could be summoned and was removed to his home. Dr. Miller attended him but not much could be done for the unfortunate man as he had suffered concussion of the brain and other injuries. The boy, George, had an ankle sprained and was badly cut in other places but was not seriously hurt.

Deceased was 45 years of age and a tobacco worker by trade. He leaves a widow and six children. Poor Mrs. Keller was almost crazed with grief when she came down from the house and saw the terrible nature of her husband's injuries.

GARNEAU (Toronto) - A very sad accident occurred at Davisville last evening about 6:30 by which Gordon Garneau, the 4-year-old son of William Garneau, was instantly killed by an electric car on the Metropolitan railway. At the time mentioned the little lad, alongwith several other children, was playing in the roadway a couple of hundred yards distant from his home when the electirc car, going north, dashed along. In his play the poor little fellow did not see the car and was directly in front of it. The car knocked him across the rail and one of the wheels ran over his neck, crushing the young life out of the body before the onlookers could as much as cry out, much less do anything to prevent the lamentable occurrence. The little lifeless form from which the head was almost severed, was carried home to the distracted mother who supposed that her little son was still playing in the garden where she had left him but a few minutes before. Doctors Armstong and Foster were both summoned, but the child was beyond human aid before he was picked up from beneath the wheels of the electric car.

CARNEGIE, ROBERTS (Port Perry) - On Saturday last a sad accident happened by which two-young men were drowned in Lake Scugog. On Thursday last James Carnegie of this place sent his steamboat to Washburn island where his men were to load a scow with wood. Mr. Carnegie's son, James, a young man 20 years of age, and James Roberts, about the same age, son of Humphrey Roberts, also of this village, went with the crew. On Saturday morning young Carnegie said he would go and look for a punt lost from the steamer on Thursday. He was advised by one of the crew not to go as it was much too rough to which he answered that he was not afraid and started off in a canoe with Roberts, promising to be back by 11 o'clock. Not appearing at noon, those on the island concluded that they had decided to wait till the sea went down before returning. When night arrived, men began to be alarmed and waited up till midnight

watching in the moonlight, from shore. Mr. Bowen, owner of the canoe, started a search about 11 o'clock. Four miles from Washburn he found the boat on the beach upside down. He returned to the island1 and gave the alarm. Steam was got up and the steamer returned to Port Perry at 4 o'clock Sunday morning. Grapnels were secured and with many willing hands and anxious hearts aboard, the boat returned to Washburn. Dragging was continued all Sunday and Monday. About half past seven on Monday night Roberts's body was caught and in half an hour afterward Carnegie's body was found. They will be buried to-morrow. Both were promising young men. Kindly references were made in the churches on Sunday to their sudden ending.

SHAW (Toronto) - Last evening a milkman named Joseph Shaw, who lived at 1457 Bloor street west, fell dead from an attack of heart disease. He was driving along Margueretta street when some boys began throwing mud and stones at his wagon. He stopped his horse, got out of the wagon, and pursued the boys, catching one of them after a short run. Shaw had barely caught hold of the boy when he staggered and fell to the ground, dead. Dr. Spence was called but life was extinct. Sergeant Lobb had the body removed to the house that the unfortunate man had left but a short time before apparently in good health.

Coroner Lynd was notified, but on investigation decided that an inquest was quite unnecessary as there was no mark of any blow being received, and it was known that the deceased had been suffering from heart disease. It is supposed that the exertion of running after the boys had over excited Shaw. According to Coroner Pickering's warrant there will be an inquest on the body at the late residence of the deceased at 8 o'clock to-night.

BAYLIS (Vancouver) - A man who registered under the name of W. Baylis arrived at the Oriental Hotel yesterday. An hour later his dead body was found in his bedroom. Beside him was a revolver and there was a bullet hole in his head. Ashes in the stove showed that he had destroyed all letters or papers which would lead to his friends being informed of his death.

Robert T. Graham subsequently recognized the corpse as that of William Baylis whom he had worked with in a lumber camp near Donald in December 1890. Baylis was then of a despondent disposition, and while the others were engaged in sports in the evening, he would sit by himself apparently brooding over his misfortunes. He seldom spoke of himself and all Mr. Graham knew about him was that he had come from near Toronto.

Birely Died at 199 Charles street, on May 12, 1892, Elizabeth Gage, widow of the late Lewis Derrick Birely, aged 87 years and 4 months. Funeral on Saturday at 4 o'clock.

One of Hamilton's oldest residents passed away yesterday at her home on Charles street. Elizabeth Gage Birely was born at Stony Creek in 1805 and was the daughter of James Gage, who was one of the earliest settlers in Upper Canada, having come to this country about 1779 during the exodus of the U.E. Loyalists from the United States.

Early in life she had deep religious impressions and joined the Methodist church with her husband in 1826. Their home was noted for its hospitality to the early Methodist ministers. She felt a warm interest in her church and was a constant attendant until the failure of her health. She was retiring in disposition, an affectionate wife, and a loving mother. The family consisted of three sons and two daughters: James Gage Birely, Oshkosh, Wis., the late Norris F. Birely, and Lewis D. Birely; and Mrs. D. B. Galbraith and Mrs. R. R. Waddell of this city.

PREVOST (Montreal) - A dreadful case of suicide has just been reported from the parish of St. Antoine Abbe, Chateauguay, where a well-to-do farmer came to an awful death under the following circumstances. Demase Prevost went to the field in the morning taking with him two horses which were attached to a harrow. After working away for several hours, the farmer

appears to have suddenly became insane and being seized with a terrible desire to do away with himself, he proceeded to carry out his designs in a most methodical manner. He led the horses to the middle of the field where grew a large tree around which the unfortunate man tied a strong plough line and throwing himself to the ground, he fastened his feet solidly to the other end of the rope. This done, Prevost caught hold of another piece of line, drew a noose over his head and also attaching it to the whiffletrees, started the horses. The result can be easily imagined as the head was almost severed from the body. His poor old father was the first man to discover the son's awful death. An inquest was held and a verdict rendered in accordance with the facts as detailed above. The terrible death of the young farmer has caused the greatest excitement for miles around.

CARROLL (Toronto) - John Carroll, formerly of St. Catharines, died last night at his residence, 61 Robinson street, after a short illness. Four days ago he took cold which was followed by inflammation of the bowels, and he grew rapidly worse until last night when he expired. Mr. Carroll, although 68 years of age, was a hearty old gentleman and his sad death was a surprise to all his friends. He has been very low spirited since the death of his wife who was buried about two weeks ago. He has been an extensive contractor for the last twenty-five years and has helped to build nearly every railroad that has been constructed during that time. In 1875 and 1876 he constructed several sections of the Welland canal and at a later date had the contract for enlargement.

He was one of the firm that built the Niagara Central Railway. His name is also remembered in connection with the building of the Toronto, Grey and Bruce, Whitby and Port Perry, Grand Junction, Kingston and Pembroke, Ontario and Quebec, Canadian Pacific, and many other railroads. He has been engaged for the last three years in the construction of the large irrigation canals which have built in Utah. He was a great horseman and kept the Clandeboys stock farm in St. Catharines well stocked with the best bred animals he could procure. On Saturday morning the remains will be taken to St. Catharines and buried there.

On Saturday night, James Prescotte, postmaster at Appleby, was driving-home from Oakville when his rig was struck by the express and he was instantly killed. The accident occurred at the crossing a short distance west of Bronte station about 10 o'clock. Mr. Prescotte arrived at the crossing just as the westbound freight train was passing, and as soon as the caboose was clear of the crossing, he drove across, but at that moment the eastbound express came dashing along the second track and struck the cart, smashing it to pieces. Mr. Prescotte's body was carried on the pilot until the express stopped at Bronte station. The body was terribly mangled and life was extinct. The deceased was about 45 years of age. He leaves a widow and eight children. The funeral will take place on Tuesday at 10 o'clock.

GUNNER - Died at his late residence, No 51 Queen street north, on Sunday, May 15, 1892, William Gunner, in his 98th year. Funeral private. No flowers.

William Gunner, probably the oldest man in Hamilton, died yesterday morning in the 98th year of his age. He was born in St. Mary's Gray, Kent county, England, January 6, 1795, and left there in 1838 for the States where he remained for a number of years. He came to Hamilton in 1851 and lived here for forty-one years. He was in the leather business for many years. He lived with his daughter, Mary Gunner, who keeps a small grocery at the corner of Queen and Napier streets. Up to three years ago, he was active, his mind was clear, and he was remarkably smart old gentleman, but he became very feeble, and for two years had not been out of the house. He was a strong Conservative and a great admirer of Sir John A. Macdonald. In March 1891 he cast his vote for McKay and Ryckman. The polling booth was in his daughter's store and he did not have to go far. About six months ago he took to his bed and never left it. He became weaker and weaker and quietly passed away at 8:45 yesterday morning.

He was anxious to vote for Mayor Blaicher last January, but he could not get out. The funeral will take place to-morrow afternoon.

Mr. Gunner's memory was remarkably clear and his other intellectual faculties were also active up to a few months of his death. A few years ago a "Spectator" reporter had an interview with him and the old gentleman chatted quite volubly about reminiscences of his early life. He had a vivid recollection of being taken to London by his father to see the funeral of Lord Nelson, and as he was then a boy of ten years, he remembered and described accurately many of the details of that great spectacle.

Several years before this, before the 19th century was born, an event occurred which he remembered well. He went to London with his father and remained for hours in a wagon in St. Paul's churchyard with a pet dog as his only companion, his father having missed his way to the great city and got lost. Mr. Gunner saw four British sovereigns: the present queen, William IV, George IV, and George III, and used to tell with delight of how he used to watch the little princess Victoria riding about Brighton on her pony.

LACHANCE, LEBLANC (Montreal) - A triple drowning occurred to-day in the Lachine canal under the very saddest of circumstances, and to-night two families are mourning over their dead. This afternoon four bright little boys named Edgar Lachance, aged 4 years; Arthur Lachance, his brother, aged 6 years; and Napoleon and Paul Leblanc, aged respectively 6 and 4 years, set off with the consent of their parents to buy some candy at a small shop a few blocks away. After they had started, one of the little fellows suggested that they should go down to the canal and see if the water was high, and the others agreeing, the quartette arrived at the bank. It appears that a raft of logs lay moored near at hand and while three of the boys jumped and began to amuse themselves, the fourth, Paul Leblanc, more timid perhaps than his older brother and the two companions,

refused to leave the canal bank but stood watching the others walking about on the raft. In a moment Paul was horrified to see all three fall into the water and sink. Being so small, he could do nothing to save them, yet the child cried for help with all his might. No one being near, however, the trio of playmates drowned before his eyes after which little Paul went home with the sad news of the accident.

In the meantime the St. Cunegonde police arrived at the canal and the bodies were recovered and taken to their bereaved families who are naturally terribly distressed at the loss of the little boys.

HANEY (Cornwall) - An old man named Charles Haney was struck by the cylinder of an engine at Lancaster to-day, throwing him a considerable distance and breaking his neck. He was given ample warning, it appears, but being 87 years of age and walking on crutches, he was unable to clear the edge of the track. Had he had time to have taken one more step, he could have saved his life.

BARLOW (Winnipeg) - A Calgary dispatch says that yesterday Mr. McMillan, a farmer of Fish Creek, on going to the residence of F. W. H. Barlow found him lying on the floor in a pool of blood with a gun lying beside him. Deceased came to this country from Bolton, Lancashire, England, on January 1, last, settling on a section. He engaged Mr. McMillan to build a house for him on the place and went to live there two weeks ago.

Mr. McMillan had occasion to visit him yesterday. Getting no response to a knock, he raised the latch to enter and found the body as above described. The deceased was about 40 years of age, unmarried, and seemingly in good circumstances. Mr. McMillan came to town this morning to get coroner Dr. Grant McKay who went; out to the scene of the tragedy this afternoon for the purpose of holding an inquest.

PRINGLE (Whitby) - John R. Pringle, a merchant tailor here, died suddenly of apoplexy at 8 o'clock this morning. He retired last evening in his usual good health.

RAY (Windsor) - Peter Ray, an old recluse living alone in a hut on the Huron Line, was kicked by a stallion. Ray made his way into the house and seated himself in a chair. Four hours later when Dr. Casgrain arrived, the old man was still seated in the chair with his chin down on his breast. "What is the matter, Mr. Ray?", asked the doctor, but no answer came. The doctor took him by the vest to shake him, thinking he was asleep, and found the old man was dead. Ray had lived in the old hut about fifteen years and practically a hermit and miser. He was nearly 80 years of age.

OLIVER - Died in this city, on May 19, Thomas.Oliver, aged 56 years. Funeral from his late residence, 57 York street, on Friday, at 3:30 p.m. Friends and acquaintances will please accept this intimation.

A gruesome sight was presented when Patrol Driver Coulter broke in the back door of Thomas Oliver's shop at 57 York street this morning. On the bed behind the counter at the back of the shop lay the stark body of the proprietor, the throat and lower part of the neck horribly gashed and a puddle of clotted blood on the floor showed where he had hung his head over the side of the bed and bled to death. Amid the blood lay a cobbler's knife just as it had dropped from the nerveless fingers. On an old bureau near the bed was a partially emptied can of beer and an empty gin bottle in a drawer close by completed the stage setting of the tragedy.

The body was that of a man about 55 years of age and it lay upon the bed partially dressed. A long dark beard had prevented him from getting at the throat properly and he had hacked the upper part of the chest and the lower portion of the neck. On a chair beside the bed was a piece of tobacco and some matches but the pipe had been placed on the bureau. The whole surroundings were most comfortless and the deceased had evidently been keeping a sort of bachelor's

apartment in rear of this workshop though his wife and family live in fairly comfortable style above the adjoining store which is used as a second-hand shop and was controlled by Mrs. Oliver.

Mrs. Oliver is rather a good looking woman considerably younger than her husband and is at present in very delicate health. To a reporter she explained that the deceased had been drinking more or less since Good Friday and about two weeks ago he placed a bed in the rear of his shop next door and had been living there since, coming to see the family occasionally. Yesterday about 4 o'clock he came in to me and said, "Do you forgive me, old woman, for all I've done to you?" "Yes, Tom, I forgive you". "He asked me to make him a cup of tea as he felt sick, and I made him a nice supper and sent it to him. When he mentioned he was sick he also said he was afraid he was going out of his mind" The deceased came in again during the evening and his mother-in-law was there. He stayed until after 10 o'clock and seemed cheerful. About 11 o'clock Mrs. Oliver went down to the back door to put out a pitcher for the milkman in the morning and her husband heard her and came out of the adjoining door. They had a talk and she says he promised to straighten up and go to work, and he put his arms around her and kissed her. He went back to his quarters behind the counter in the shoe shop and Mrs. Oliver went to her bedroom. About 1 o'clock she was taken ill with heart trouble and sent her sister out to tell her husband to go for Dr. Dillibaugh, but the girl returned saying she couldn't make Oliver hear. A couple of hours later Mrs. Oliver had another attack of heart palpitations and sent her sister again to arouse her husband, but with the same result. Then she became alarmed and exclaimed, "Surely he can't be dead". They went to bed again and did not awake till nearly 7 o'clock. Mrs. Oliver's sister went to work and she sent a boy and later a servant girl to arouse her husband, but they could not get a response. The girl could see Oliver lying on the bed by looking through a crack in the door. Some neighbours were summoned and they sent for Patrol Driver Coulter from the Napier street station who broke the door and found Oliver dead.

Dr. Philp, the coroner was summoned and at his arrival at 8:50 there was still some warmth perceptible in some portions of the body though the limbs were quite cold and stiff. The doctor was inclined to think that death had occurred in the early morning though the warmth may remain a considerable time when a body is well covered. The hands and arms of the dead man were covered with blood and he had evidently make a rough task of the throat cutting. When found the head hung over the side of the bed and had evidently been held in that position while he bled to death. Dr. Philp decided to hold an inquest and the jurors will view the body at 3 o'clock.

Thomas Oliver was an Englishman about 56 years of age and had a chequered career. He had served in the 16th Regiment during the Indian Mutiny and came to Canada about fifteen years ago. He was twice married. Before he married his present wife, he had been in the asylum here

for some time and was of a very excitable temperament. On August 29, 1889, while residing in Rochester, N.Y., he attempted suicide by cutting his throat with a knife and almost succeeded, He was in the hospital there for over a month. He has been drinking heavily for some time past and there has been, it is said, domestic trouble at the bottom of it. Three weeks ago Mrs. Oliver applied to the police at the Napier street station to arrest the deceased as she was afraid of him, but the officers refused to act without a warrant. Subsequently he was arrested in the street for being disorderly and eventually his wife paid the fine. She said that bad companions caused her husband's ruin.

SUTTON (Beamsville) - One of the oldest inhabitants of this place died here on Monday in his 85th year, in the person of Thomas Sutton. A quiet and respected citizen, a thorough Conservative in politics, and he never failed to get in his vote if he had to be carried to the polls.

ROBERTSHAW - Mrs. John Robertshaw, one of the oldest settlers of Woodstock, died yesterday, aged eighty-three.

LECHAPELLE (Macleod, N.W.T.) - Antoine Lechapelle, better known as 'Tony', was found dead on his small farm hear the Blood reserve yesterday, having poisoned himself. His death makes one more of the old-timers of ante-police days who has passed to the great beyond. Tony came to the country before the advent of the police to trade with the Indians. He carried on this business in various parts of the country and at different times had his trading headquarters on

Bow and High River. In one of the frequent battles which these traders had with the Indians in those days, Tony was seriously wounded and had a very close call. When the police arrived they put an end to the whiskey trade with the Indians, and when old Fort Macleod was established, Tony settled down as a merchant. In this business he had many ups and downs and his flights from bedrock to wealth and vice versa were as rapid as they were wonderful. He did not remain long in business after the removal of the town, and at the time of his death had a small farm just across the river from the Blood reserve.

GEORGE, WELLER (Toronto) - Two young men were drowned yesterday afternoon by the capsizing of a boat on the bay at the foot of Simcoe street. They rented the boat from Armour's boathouse to row to the island where they learned George Martin, a brother of the yacht club steward, was to be found. They knew but little about the handling of a boat and were overturned when but a few yards from the dock. The men were supposed to be Charles W. George and Charles Weller, but as one of them was a dark man, it is not positively known whether he could be. The man who registered at the Crosby Hotel as Weller was a fair man. The two men registered at different times with different clerks and Weller was not seen about the hotel anymore. The one who registered as George was also fair, but he did not give checks for baggage. Weller, however, had a trunk brought to the hotel. When it was known that the two men were drowned, the trunk was opened, and from indications either the two men shared the trunk or else the man was making use of both names.

It is certain that George crossed the ocean on the steamer "Parisian" under the name of Charles Weller, because Mr. Martin came out on the same boat which started from Liverpool on May 5. George had been in this country before and worked in Montreal as a waiter in the Windsor Hotel. The different articles in the trunk bore several names, but Charles W. George and Charles Weller were the principal ones. In the trunk were a number of letters from young ladies and also a number of lead-pencil sketches made by C. W. George. There were also a number of children's and Ladies' articles as well as a lot of ladies' fancy work, finished and partly finished. He had a good stock of collars, but there was a variety of initials used as marks. The bodies were not recovered last night as the water was too rough to drag, but esplanade constable Williams will make a search this morning. George was known to be an expert swimmer and it is supposed that the other dragged him down.

A respected and efficient city official, Frank Sturdy, steward of the House of Refuge, died this morning. His death was unexpected though he had been ill for ten days, but was not confined to his bed. About six months ago he had a bad attack of grip, but he pulled through, although he felt the effects of it in his last illness. Last night about 11 o'clock, he had a bad turn and kept getting weaker and weaker. He became unconscious at 4 o'clock and died at 9:30 this morning.

Mr. Sturdy was in his 46th year and was born in the county of Donegal, Ireland. He came to Hamilton twenty-five years ago. For five years he kept a grocery store at the corner of Mulberry and Macnab streets. In July 1886, he was appointed steward of the House of Refuge which position he held until his death with great satisfaction to the hospital committee. He leaves a widow and two daughters.

Amherstburg, May 15, 1892

I, Jack Hodson, am tired of life and bid good-bye to all my friends in this world. All through drink I have lost all my friends and am in this world alone. Whoever finds this, please inform my friends at Brown House, Amherstburg.

Good-bye. Jack Hodson.

Hodson was a stonemason and had been employed on the new Methodist church since work had been commenced there. For about two weeks before he left, he had been on a spree. All the workmen agree that the writing resembles Hodson's very much and say he was very despondent the day before he was last seen and believe he took his life. Hodson was a single man about 32 years of age, and although the men have worked for some time with him, they know nothing definitely of his family, but believe he has a father and mother and five brothers in Port Burwell, Elgin county, Ontario.

He had his dinner and left his boarding house unnoticed by the proprietor, to follow three men up the cut. After the men had gone a short distance up the track, they met an eastbound freight train. As they left the track to allow the train to pass, they saw Ryan lying on the track a short distance behind. He was struck on the forehead, the skull being completely crushed. He also received a three-cornered

cut on the top of the head, and one leg was broken. He had been working here about ten days and came here from Toronto.

JOLLEY - Died on May 25, Archie Jolley, youngest son of James Jolley, aged 21 years and 9 months. Funeral private.

Without any motive that can be learned deliberately and methodically Archie Jolley, ledger keeper in Stinson's bank, put an end to his life last evening.

About ten o'clock night watchman Cook noticed a gas jet burning in the basement of the bank and entering the building, he went into the basement to investigate. A frightful scene was there presented. The dead body of a young man lay on the floor at the west end of the basement. The head and shoulders were propped against a wash stand, the body and legs extended at full length and the arms resting carelessly alongside the body. The floor underneath the corpse and surrounding was covered with blood which had poured from a ghastly wound in the head. Bits of brain were scattered about. Near the right hand lay the weapon with which the deed was done, a small 'bulldog' five-chambered revolver, 28 calibre.

The night watchman hastened out to notify the police of his horrible discovery and soon constable Bainbridge and detective Reid arrived and took charge of the body. Coroner Mackelcan and Major Moore, manager of the bank, were also summoned, and promptly arrived, but before their arrival, Chief Aitchison and others were called in to identify the body.

Strange to say nobody could positively identify it at first as the body of young Jolley, even some who had known him well in life failing to recognize in the white shrunken features on the floor any resemblance to the rosy, fresh, handsome face that they remembered. Some thought it was Alex Leith, the senior clerk, and the rumour quickly spread through the city that it was he who had suicided. Even Major Moore failed for some time to recognize the body as that of Jolley. But very soon there was no more room for doubt. The young man's hat was found on Major Moore's table and his coat was hanging on a rack near the head of the steps leading down to the basement and in the pocket was a sealed envelope addressed to Alex Leith in Jolley's handwriting.

Soon after the discovery Mr. Leith himself arrived and opened the letter. It was written firmly and clearly and betrayed no evidence of haste or nervousness. Mr. Leith, addressed affectionately as “Dear Alick”, is told that the letter is addressed to him because the writer does not want to give his parents any more trouble. The young man's meaning was that the news of his death would cause grief enough to his parents without the additional anguish of reading a farewell letter from him.

Mr. Leith is also requested to inform the writer's parents and relatives that his last moments were happy. He wrote the names of six young men, friends of his, whom he desired to have act as pall bearers at his funeral and he concluded by wishing Mr. Leith ‘a last farewell’ and signing ths name, Archie. At the head of the sheet the line from Gray's Elegy is written in scroll fashion, "The paths of glory lead but to the grave".

About midnight the body was removed to Blachford's undertaking establishment and prepared for burial. The sad task of breaking the news to the young man's father, James Jolley, saddler, of John street south ,and Mrs. Jolley was left to the family physician, Dr. Leslie. Archie was the youngest, the last in a numerous family.

All the facts show that the suicide was coolly and deliberately planned and carried into effect. The young man left the bank at 3:15 bidding Mr. Leith a cheery good-bye. He went home, took tea, and was engaged for some time cutting grass with a lawn mower in front of the house. When it began to grow dark, he went into the house, changed the ordinary business suit that he wore every day for a dark suit, put on a clean shirt and fresh necktie, polished his shoes, and came downtown. He probably went direct to the bank and wrote the letter which was found in his coat pocket. Then removing his coat, he hung it on the rack at the rear of the inner office, and placed his hat upon Major Moore's table.

The revolver was Mr. Leith's and was kept in his drawer to which young Jolley had access. He got the weapon out of the drawer, went down into the basement, lit the gas jet above the washstand, and standing with his back to the stand, placed the muzzle of the revolver behind his right ear and fired. The weapon did not go off on the first trial. The hammer snapped on the cartridge without exploding it, but the second attempt was successful and the bullet crashed through the poor fellow's skull. Death must have been instantaneous. The deed was probably done between eight and nine o'clock, for the body was quite cold when it was discovered at ten o'clock.

The deceased was a handsome, bright young man about 21 years of age. His disposition was cheerful and even jovial. His habits were regular, and his general character above reproach. For three or four years he had been employed as ledger keeper at Stinson's bank and Major Moore says that during that time his conduct had been such as never one to have called for a reprimand.

Whether young Jolley had any motive for taking his life and what it was, if he had any, is not known and must probably remain a mystery.

The first rumour was that he was short in his accounts at the bank, but there is no truth in that. Even if he had been inclined to be dishonest, his duties at the bank were such as to give him no opportunity to profit by dishonesty. The cause was certainly not depression of spirits, for all day yesterday Mr. Leith says he was in his bustomary good humour and joked and laughed up to the time of his departure in the afternoon. Major Moore and others who saw and spoke with him during the day corroborate this.

The probability is that the deed was caused by suicidal mania, for it has been learned that members of the family have of late noticed with anxiety certain signs of mental irregularity in him. The idea of suicide was evidently a familiar one to him. Two or three days ago he purchased at a city drugstore an ounce of laudanum and asked for the strongest that could be supplied.

But there was nothing in his appearance or usual manner that would indicate insanity. His face was frank and pleasing, and his complexion beautifully clear, delicate, and rosy. His movements and manner of speech indicated a mind quick, clear, and alert. He was widely known and his cheerful, affectionate disposition made him a great favourite with all his friends. At home he was almost idolized being the youngest of the family and the pet of the household.

No inquest will be held. After learning all the circumstances which have been narrated above, Coroner Mackelcan decided that an inquest was unnecessary.

Since the preceding account was written a rumour had gained circulation that young Jolley was in trouble recently on account of an intrigue between him and a young woman of the city which threatened to get him into difficulties. The rumour lacks confirmation and those who know him best are confident that there is no truth in it.

ARMES (Glanford) - John Armes, who moved some time ago from Barton into Glanford, passed away to his long rest on Wednesday of last week.

REID (Ottawa) - Howard Reid, a lad of twelve years, residing in South March, Carleton county, committed suicide by strangulation yesterday. The case is a peculiarly sad one.

His son was to have come to Ottawa with him yesterday, but asked to be allowed to take his holiday some other day when the shops would be open. He went out to the barn to feed some fowl he was raising and was not again seen alive. His sister found his body suspended by the neck by a piece of roller towelling. It is believed by those who know the lad that he took his life while suffering temporary insanity, the result of an injury to his foot which caused him intense pain for a considerable time and which nearly caused an attack of lockjaw. An inquest will be held.

SMART -The familiar figure of ex-Judge W. L. Smart will not be seen on the streets of Hamilton anymore. He died shortly after seven o'clock this morning at his residence, 294 Park street south. He was out as usual on Thursday last and was feeling as well as usual, though he had not been very strong for the last three or four years. On Friday he was taken ill and rapidly became worse until last evening his friends became alarmed. Unfortunately Mrs. Smart had left on Thursday for Denver, Col. to look after the judge's son who is at a health resort there and the old gentleman

was alone in the house with the servants. W. F. Walker, Q.C., and other friends heard of his illness and saw that everything possible was done for him, but shortly after seven o'clock this morning he died. The deceased suffered from a serious attack of hemorrhage of the liver about four years ago and nearly died at that time. Subsequently he went south for his health and then visited England where he consulted Sir Arthur Clarke, the prominent London physician. Since that time he had suffered more or less from the same complaint, complicated with dropsy, but at the last death was comparatively sudden. He had been at Denver lately, but returned about a week ago.

William Lyon Smart was born at St. Albans, Middlesex, England, on September 16, 1824. He was the eldest son of the late John Newton Smart of Trewhiltt House, Rathbury, Northumberland, who married,, in 1823, Mary Ann, co-heiress of Rev. Thomas Gregory, vicar of Henlow, Bedfordshire by whom he had six children, the subject of this notice being the eldest. He succeeded his father in the Trewhilt and Netherton properties on the death of the former in 1875. Most of these estates he subsequently sold to Lord Armstrong. Judge Smart was a nephew of the late Admiral Sir Robert Smart, K.C.B., K.H.R.N. He received a first-class education, finishing his course at King's College, London. He left college in 1842 and was articled to Smart & Buller, attorneys-at-law and solicitors in chancery with whom he remained for five years. He was admitted as attorney in 1847 and was taken as a partner in the firm of Smart, Buller, & Smart. He remained in this firm until 1853 when he came to Canada on a visit to the late Col. Light, Woodstock, Mrs. Light being his aunt.

He liked Canada so well that he concluded to remain in the country and accepted the appointment of secretary of the Woodstock & Lake Erie Railway Company, representing the English bondholders on the board. The company amalgamated with the Amherstburg & St. Thomas Railway under the title of the Canada Southern Railway, and Mr. Smart remained as secretary of the new company until 1862. During the period of his secretaryship, he was admitted as an attorney-at-law by the law society of Upper Canada.

In 1864 he entered into partnership with Hector Cameron, Q.C., the office of the firm being in Toronto, where Mr. Smart continued until 1868. In 1866 he was called to the bar of Upper Canada. In 1868 he commenced business for himself in Toronto and remained there till 1873 when he removed to Hamilton. He received the appointment of deputy judge under the late Judge Logie and also the late Judge Ambrose.

The duties of this office he discharged until the appointment of Judge Ambrose's successor, the late Judge Sinclair in 1876, when he retired from his judicial position and began business for himself in the court house here. He practised his profession until quite recently when his impaired health compelled him to seek rest.

The deceased gentleman took a keen interest in military matters and was for a time a member of the Woodstock volunteers. He also took considerable interest in public affairs and served as

councillor in 1870 and 1871. He also sought election as an alderman in Hamilton but unsuccessfully. He was a candidate for South Oxford in the provincial election of 1882, but was not successful. He was a freemason of long standing and also a member of the Orange order. Having a passion for travel, Judge Smart visited every part of the United States, and travelled extensively in the British Isles, France, Germany, Spain, Russia, Switzerland, Tangiers, and several parts of Africa, and in the West Indies. In religion he was an Episcopalian;, in politics a staunch but broad-minded Conservative. In 1863 he married Catherine McGill Crooks, daughter of the late John Crooks, of Niagara.

MADDEN (Toronto) - Yesterday Christian Madden, a student of De La Salle Institute, met his death in Ashbridge's Bay. One of the teachers of the school had invited a number of her pupils to a trip on the bay. The boat engaged was only large enough to carry half of the boys at each trip. Young Madden, a boy of 14 years of age, was one of the passengers in the first boat. This party was landed at the crib and the boat returned with the teacher for the remainder of the scholars. Before leaving the crib the teacher instructed the boys not to venture into the water. When they were left alone, however, the temptation was too great for them to resist, and when the teacher came back with the other merry crowd, she found waiting for her many sad faces.

On the pier were all the boys that she had left a short time before with the exception of young Madden. The boys had a sad story to tell. Nearly all of them had gone in swimming and were hugely enjoying themselves when they heard young Madden who was only a few yards from them cry for help. Before any of them could reach him, he had disappeared from view and did not again come to the surface. He had gone down in deep water and as none of his comrades were good swimmers they dared not dive for him. This sad accident cast a gloom over the little party who lingered around for some time waiting for the body to rise to the top of the water. An attempt was made to recover the body this morning.

The boy's parents who live in Hamilton were immediately notified of the accident but up to an early hour this morning they had not been heard from.

It is thought that Madden's mother lives at the House of Providence, Dundas.

He has lived in fear since then that his mother would have him incarcerated in an insane asylum. He was unusually melancholy yesterday morning and left his home at nine o'clock taking with him a worn-out razor. Shortly afterward he was seen on the wharf throwing pebbles into the bay. He continued to amuse himself until two o'clock when he started as though some one had spoken to him. He then ran into the lane and drew the ragged edge of the steel over his throat, inflicting a wound that extended from ear to ear, severing the windpipe and grazing the jugular vein. The act was witnessed by three boys who gave the alarm. The ambulance was hastily summoned and the wounded man was conveyed to the hospital where every effort was made to save his life. He died at 7:30 last night after telling a priest, who administered the last sacraments that he killed himself because he was tired of living a wretched life.

He sank from view and when he rose to the surface the other boys were too frightened to render him any assistance.

MUIR Died at his residence, Jefferson avenue, Detroit, Michigan, on June 23, 1892, William E. Muir, formerly resident of this city. Funeral from Central Presbyterian church, Hamilton, to-morrow (Saturday), June 25, at 3:30 p.m.

W. E. Muir died yesterday at his residence in Detroit. For some time he had been affected with rheumatism and three weeks ago returned from a trip to Japan and improved. The immediate cause of his death was inflammation of the brain. At the time of his death he was president and general manager of the Eureka iron and steel works and of the Star line of steamers. He was a shareholder in the old Detroit City Railway Company and largely interested in several business enterprises. He leaves a $1,000,000 estate.

Mr. Muir was born in Kilmarnock, Ayrshire, in 1829. He began railway work when a lad and worked himself up to an important position in the service of an English railway company. In 1852 the late C. J. Brydges, general manager of the old Great Western, brought him to Canada and assisted in opening the G.W.R. line for traffic, remaining in the service of the company till 1857. He was then sent to Detroit to manage the Detroit and Milwaukee Railway in which the Great Western Company was interested.

In 1865 he resigned his position to accept the office of assistant general superintendent of the Michigan Central Railway. A few years later he succeeded C. J. Brydges as general superintendent of the Great Western. Under his management the road was re-equipped throughout and the gauge was changed. Subsequently he became general manager of the Canada Southern Railway. Mr. Muir was acknowledged to be one of the best railway men on the continent. During his residence in Hamilton while connected with the Great Western he was popular among all classes and leaves many personal friends here.

Me. Muir leaves a widow and five children, four daughters, Mrs. Henry Russell, Mrs. Wetmore Hunt, Mrs. Bethune Duffield, and Miss Crissie Muir, and one son, W. Howie Muir. James H. Muir, treasurer of the D., G.H. , and M. Road and Thomas Muir, general manager of the Ontario Car Company, London, Ontario, are brothers of the deceased.

The remains are to be brought to Hamilton for interment and the funeral will take place to-morrow afternoon at 3:30 from Central Presbyterian Church.

PAULIN (Port Arthur) - The three-year-old child of a settler named Paulin, residing near Chelmsford on the C.P.R., was run over by No 9 express on Monday and instantly killed.

MULLINS (Halifax) - An aged farmer named James Mullins died recently at Vernon River, P.E.I.

MCNEIL (Collingwood) - A terrible accident which resulted fatally to a lad of some thirteen summers named Patrick McNeil occurred at Burton's mill, Byng Inlet.

GRIFFITHS (Brantford) - The time-keeper at the Grand Trunk shops, Mr. Orr, had occasion to call at the residence of Charles Griffiths, 44 Lawrence street, at noon to-day regarding some question of payment of time worked. Mr. Orr entered the house and found Charles Griffiths, the man whom he sought, lying dead upon the kitchen floor. Further inspection found the wife of deceased was also in the house in, it is alleged, a state of semi-intoxication and unaware of the death of her husband. Judging from the appearance, deceased had hot been dead more than a few hours. Certain portions of his body are horribly swollen, bruised, and discoloured, a coroner's inquest had been ordered by the authorities and will be held by Coroner Kerr. From information derived from the neighbours Griffiths, who is about 60 years of age, has been drinking rather heavily of late and has indeed been on what is described as a prolonged spree. He was last seen by the people in the neighbourhood on Sunday.

She had been very despondent of late and notified her daughter a few days ago that she intended to take her life, and since, the family have been guarding against the possibility of her carrying out her design and they are at a loss to know how the poison was procured.

BOGGS (Toronto) - A very sad accident occurred yesterday about 11 o'clock in the forenoon by which David Boggs whose residence and place of business was at the corner of Dundas street and Brock avenue, lost his life and six people are left orphans. The deceased had been engaging for the last ten years in the coal and wood business with his brother as a partner. This partnership was terminated quite recently, the brother selling his interest in the business to John Stark of 86 Wolseley street. The latter entered into active operation yesterday and was engaged with the deceased at sawing wood.

The latter was giving his attention to the saw and Stark was running the engine. The belt pertaining to the pump which supplied the boiler with water was rather slack and was performing its task inefficiently. Stark having failed in his attempt to make it run as it should, he applied to Boggs for aid. Boggs requested Stark to attend to the saw and went away himself to see what could be done.

In a moment he heard quite a great commotion near where his partner was at work and looking up was horrified to see him whirling around the shaft and his life blood spurting over everything in the locality. He hastened to turn off the steam and when the machinery stopped he found Boggs dead, his skull crushed, one leg torn off completely and the other mangled in a horrible manner. Portions of his bleeding flesh were scattered over the floor and his tattered clothing lay about the machinery. An adjacent partition was entirely destroyed by the whirling body. Dr. McConnell was summoned but his presence was of no avail. Coroner Lynd was notified and after an inquiry into the facts deemed an inquest unnecessary. Messrs Bates & Dodds, undertakers, took charge of the body and will send it to Caledonia, Haldimand county, this morning at nine o'clock. The unfortunate man was formerly a resident of Caledonia where he worked at his trade as a carpenter. His wife died a few years ago and his death deprives a family of six, of whom five are girls and the eldest only 21 years of age. He had been in Toronto for two years.

June 29, 1892

JOHNSTON - Died on June 29, Ann Miles, relict of the late William Johnston, in her 77th year. Funeral from the residence of her son-in-law, Jefferson Stevens, 403 King street west, on Friday afternoon at 3 o'clock. Friends will please accept this intimation.

STINSON - Died at the Homestead, Queen street north, on Wednesday, June 29, 1892, suddenly of Bright's disease, Thomas Henry Stinson, aged 31 years. Funeral on Saturday, July 2, at 2:30 p.m., from the Homestead.

Not regret only but grief, genuine, profound, and widespread, is felt in the city to-day, for one of Hamilton's most popular citizens, one who loved Hamilton well and was beloved by Hamiltonians as but few citizens of this town have ever been, Thomas H. Stinson, died at 6:45 a.m. to-day at the old Stinson homestead on Queen street.

The immediate cause of his death was uremic poisoning resulting from Bright's disease. Although there was little in Mr. Stinson's appearance to indicate that he was suffering from an incurable disease, the sad fact was known to his relatives that for more than a year the terrible malady had been sapping his vitality and did not yield dither to medical treatment or to change of climate.

For several months recently Mr. Stinson's condition has been so serious as to cause alarm to his relatives and to his medical advisers, Drs. Cummings and Mullins. His strength already reduced by his fatal malady, was severely taxed by an accidental injury to one of his knees which kept him in bed for weeks. He recovered from the effects of the accident, however, and was able recently to be about, but a day or two ago alarming symptoms suddenly developed and he was removed from his own home to the Homestead in order that he might be under the immediate

care of his relatives. But the tenderest care of his relatives and the skill of the physicians were alike unavailing. Rapidly growing worse, he sank into unconsciousness shortly before midnight last night and continued in a state of stupor until his death.

The funeral will be held on Saturday, at 2:30 p.m. Until then the body will remain at the Homestead.

Thomas Henry Stinson was born in Hamilton on December 16, 1860. He was the only son of the late John Stinson who was also a native of this city. His grandfather was a native of Monaghan county, Ireland, and coming to Hamilton from the green isle in 1825, speedily became one of the most prosperous merchants in this part of the country. For half a century the Interests of the Stinson family have been intimately identified with those of this city. T. H. Stinson was educated at the Galt Collegiate Institute under the eminent instructor of youth, the late Dr. Tassie. He studied law in the office of Bruce, Walker, & Burton and in the spring of 1882 was admitted to the practice of law.

He did not, however, practise in a general way as a solicitor, the care of the family estate which he managed being sufficient to engross his time. In the autumn of 1882 Mr. Stinson married Agnes, only daughter of C. J. Hope, and three children, two sons and a daughter are the fruits of the marriage. The sadness of Mr. Stinson's untimely death is deepened by the fact that Mrs. Stinson is seriously ill and away from home under medical treatment.

Mr. Stinson's experience of public life was short but eventful. In 1884 he accepted a nomination for alderman in ward 5. Among his opponents was the late Mayor McLellan. Mr. Stinson made a magnificent run, beating Mr. McLellan by a majority of eighty and polling the largest vote which up to that time has been recorded in favour of any aldermanic candidate in Hamilton. He did not seek re-election in 1890, but in that year a higher honour was bestowed upon him. The provincial elections were held on June 5. On May 3, at a convention of the Hamilton Liberal Conservative Association, he was unanimously and enthusiastically selected as the Conservative for the representation of Hamilton in the provincial legislature.

The contest was one of the keenest political struggles that ever took place in this city, and the victory was with Mr. Stinson. He beat the provincial secretary, by a majority of eighty-four. The election was protested and the case want to the courts. Through no fault of his own, for in spite of the unexampled activity of his political enemies, not a single case of personal corruption or even irregularity oould be proved against him, Mr. Stinson was unseated on the ground of technical irregularities in the conduct of the election by his agents. Again he was nominated by the Conservative party and again he faced battle with the same cheerful courage and energy which he had shown before. But the Mowat government had been sustained and all the resources that the government could bring to bear in favour of the provincial secretary were centred here. The odds were too great and Mr. Stinson was beaten. He took his defeat good-naturedly.

No one heard him murmur at the defection of many of his former supporters, and when the Dominion elections took place shortly afterward, no member of the Conservative party worked more cheerfully and energetically than Thomas H. Stinson and none rejoiced more in the result.

Declining health obliged him to seek a more genial climate and he visited Nassau, but the change did not yield him any permanent benefit.

For a dozen years Mr. Stinson has been a most generous supporter of all kinds of manly athletic sports. There is not a branch of legitimate outdoor sport which hd did not aid either by his personal efforts or with his purse. At the time of his death he was president of the Hamilton Cricket Club and the Ontario Cricket Association. He was no mere passive sportsman either, but was for years one of the best cricketers and football players in the city.

There were substantial reasons for the large popularity which the deceased gentleman enjoyed. His manners were cordial and unaffected, the outcome of a nature overflowing with generosity good fellowship, and real kindness. He was moreover magnanimous, chivalrous, and true-hearted, a thoroughly manly man. A landlord who owned many houses inhabited by the poor, a case has yet to be discovered in which he treated any tenant with anything but kindness and consideration. The poor of Hamilton have lost a good friend in him. Even in the excitement of political strife not an ungentle or ungenerous word came from his lips and he bore defeat and disappointment with the cheerfulness of a well-balanced and courageous nature. In short, it can be truthfully said of Thomas H. Stinson in the noble lines of the laureate:

He to whom a thousand memories call,

Not being less, but more than all

The gentleman he seemed to be.

Best seemed the thing he was and joined

Each office of the social hour

To noble manners as the flower

And the native growth of noble mind.

And thus he bore without abuse

The grand old name of gentleman

Defamed by every charlatan

And soiled with all ignoble use.

SHAW - The funeral of Thomas Shaw who was killed yesterday took place from the Bethel Mission this afternoon. The St. George's Society kindly provided the grave and the mission and a few friends the balance. Rev. Dr. Fletcher officiated. Shaw was a sober, industrious man, and only last Sunday night, after the evening mission service, expressed himself as much impressed by Mr. Manseigh's address on the Prodigal Son.

ROBSON (Victoria, B.C.) - A telegram from Hon John E. Robson's private secretary was received by Joseph Hunter, M.P.P., his son-in-law, Thursday afternoon informing him of the premier's serious illness in London. Mr. Hunter at once cabled for particulars. This afternoon an answer was received stating that an accident to his finger had aggravated Mr. Robson's already weak condition and no hope was entertained of his recovery. The premier was not in good health when he left Victoria for the east and the warm weather there had a weakening effect on him. He, however, stood the ocean voyage all right and arrived at Queenstown all but well. The first news that he was ill was conveyed by the telegram to Mr. Hunter received yesterday.

Later advices say that the Hon. John Robson died at six o'clock this evening.

Hon. John Robson was a son of the late John Robson of Sarnia, Ontario. He was born at Perth, Ontario, March 14, 1824, and in April, 1854, married Susan, fourth daughter of the late Capt. John Longworth of Goderich. He emigrated to British Columbia early in 1858 and established and edited the "British Columbian". He was mayor of New Westminster in 1866 and government paymaster of the C.P.R. in British Columbia from 1875 to 1879 when the position was abolished. He sat for New Westminster district in the legislative council from 1866 to 1870, and for Nanaimo from 1871 to 1874. He became provincial secretary and minister of mines in 1883 and continued in that office till 1887. He became premier the following year. Premier Robson left for London a few years ago in connection with the Crofter immigration scheme.

NICHOLLS (Toronto) - Harriet Nicholls, wife of Joseph Nicholls of No 6 Ramsay Lane, committed suicide yesterday morning by swallowing a large dose of 'rough on rats', a preparation containing about ninety per cent arsenic. The woman had been an invalid for some time and had hot been able to attend to her household duties. Her husband, who is a labourer, had been out of work and these troubles together with ill reports concerning herself which had been circulated by a neighbour caused her to be more than ever despondent. Shortly after nine o'clock she sent her

husband for some medicine, and when he returned she told him that she had taken the poison. Dr. Coatsworth was called in but the unfortunate woman was beyond medical skill and died shortly after his arrival. She left a note bidding her husband and three children good-bye. Coroner Aikens, after hearing the fact, decided an inquest was unnecessary.

JARVIS (Chatham) - One of the most painful events in the annals of Chatham is the melancholy death of Col. Salter M. Jarvis, who was last night found drowned in a cistern in the basement of his residence. Recently he had suffered from a severe illness and it is supposed that while

examining the cistern, as was his wont, he was overcome by weakness and fell through a trap door as he was preparing to descend into the tank. The body had evidently been in the water some hours before being discovered. The deceased gentleman was well-known in the community in which he was deservedly esteemed and popular citizen. He was a retired lieutenant-colonel of the Queen's Own Regiment, Toronto, a barrister by profession, a member and lay delegate of Holy Trinity Church, and a Conservative in politics.

O'BRIEN, LEE, RANSOM, STEEP, MILLIGAN (Montreal) - The St. Lawrence riyer opposite Montreal was the scene of a terrible boating fatality yesterday afternoon by which the lives of six young men were lost. Early in the afternoon a party of seventeen members of the Grand Trunk Boating Club rowed over to St. Helen's Island in the war canoe, Minnehaha. The war canoe is thirty-two feet long and has just room for seventeen people. The men spent the afternoon at St. Helen's Island, the popular resort opposite the city, and about six o'clock left to paddle home. The current in this portion of the St. Lawrence is very strong and treacherous. The canoe had just reached Moffat's Island, opposite St. Lambert's wharf, when it gave a sudden lurch and without a moment's warning the canoe was capsized and the seventeen men were thrown into the rapid current. The accident was so sudden that the occupants of the canoe were wholly unprepared and a desperate struggle for life ensued.

Nearly all the young fellows could Swim and those who could, made for the shore. Fortunately the accident had been noticed by some men who were bathing on Moffat's Island and they at once took to their boat and made to the rescue of the capsized men.

GLENN (Stratford) - A very sad accident occurred at a barn raising on the farm of Robert Nicklin, lot 14, concession 8, Mornington, on Thursday. A number of men were at work on the building and had raised two bents into position. In some way not explained the third bent when

HAYWOOD (London) - A fatal accident happened at the Egerton street crossing of the Grand Trunk Railway yesterday as the morning mail express from the east was coming into the yard. Thomas Haywood, fish peddler, Trafalgar street, an old citizen, was going south in his cart when he saw the train approaching. Thinking he could safely cross the tracks ahead of the train, he drove on to the rails and getting excited jerked the reins vigorously. His feeble old horse, doubtless thinking it a signal to him to stop, stopped just as he had safely cleared the tracks himself, leaving the cart directly in the path of the engine.

Haywood, realizing his predicament, scrambled to get out of the cart and in the act of rising to jump to the road the engine struck him with frightful force, knocking him some distance into the air allowing him to fall in front of the engine with his right leg lying across the iron, with the result that the limb was completely cut off by the ponderous wheels. The train was stopped and backed up to the street crossing where Haywood was found. He was still breathing but lived only a few minutes. A terrble gash on the forehead from which the blood was pouring in a stream that ran among the old fellow's gray hairs told a part of the story of the fearful blow he had sustained. The wagon was smashed into kindling wood, but the horse escaped without injury. Deceased was about 60 years of age and leaves a wife and one son. An inquest was opened last evening and adjourned till to-morrow evening.

Hearing the little one give a cry of pain, the mother rushed to her infant who was lying on the ground, he having fallen from the carriage. As soon as the little sufferer was picked up it gave a gasp and then the little head fell to one side and the frantic mother held a corpse in her arms.

Dr. Rosebrugh of Hamilton was present but could do nothing as the neck was broken. Mr. Ryckman is a carpenter who at present is working at some cottages on the grounds.

men, but all search for Noyes was fruitless. He was left in a watery grave. It is reported to-day that there were several other drownings on the bay, but at this writing the reports cannot be verified.

intelligent interest in city affairs long before he became a permanent citizen here. It was a matter of great pride to him that he had attended all the annual festivals of the St. Mary's orphans’ asylum with one exception since the festival began forty years ago and he had been one of the inevitable guests of the annual dinner of the St. George's Benevolent Society for more than thirty years. He was a gentleman of overflowing geniality and courtesy, and in his prime was an effective public speaker.

Mr. Barton was born on July 12, 1829, at Carrick-on-Shannon, Ireland. He came to Canada with his parents when a boy and passed his youth in Toronto where he studied law. Being admitted to practise when only 21 years old, he settled in Dundas and made his way so rapidly that in the following year he was elected mayor of the town. He was identified with many of the industries of Dundas, notably the Dundas Woollen Mills of which he was manager and principal owner. He never relinquished his legal practice and when three years ago he became free from other interests, he moved into Hamilton. Ill health prevented him from actively engaging in the practice of his profession.

In 1851 Mr. Barton married Alice Elizabeth, daughter of Ma jor-General Atkins. She, with three sons and two daughters, survives him. The sons are: E. J., real estate broker of Toronto) King, and Fred. The daughters are: Mrs. Greening of Dundas, and Miss Alice who lives at home.

The deceased gentleman was a member of All Saints Church. In politics he was an independent Conservative. He was an active member of the Wentworth Historical Society and the Hamilton Association.

The funeral will take place on Sunday afternoon at Dundas. It will be private.

The train in charge of Conductor Gibson left Burlington at 5:10 p.m. and was due in Hamilton at 5:40. When near the trestle north of the Wellington Street crossing, the engineer saw a man walking on the track towards the train and sounded the whistle. The old man was deaf and did not hear the whistle, and as the train was close upon him, the engineer did not have time to stop and the engine struck him knocking him into the ditch.

The train was stopped and the conductor and others walked back and found the old man lying in the ditch. The body was carried into the baggage car and was brought to the King Street station. The patrol wagon was telephoned for, but when it arrived the policemen could not remove the body from the car until it was seen by Coroner Mackelcan who decided to hold an inquest, at the hospital this morning. The body was afterward taken to the morgue. Near the point where the accident occurred there is a bend in the road and the engineer did not see the man on the track until the train was upon him.

Hiram Jones, a small boy, was an eye-witness of the accident. He was standing at the corner of Picton and Wellington streets and saw the locomotive strike Moody. The old man was tossed in the air and landed on the track and was tossed into the ditch. He knew that it was Moody who was killed, having seen him only a short time before and he ran to tell Mrs. Moody of the accident. The body was badly cut, both legs were broken, and the skull was fractured.

The deceased was well known in Hamilton, having lived here for twenty years. He wore his hair long and was very deaf which accounts for him not hearing the whistle.

About four months ago he sold out his business and went to live with a married daughter in Muncie, Indiana, his wife remaining here with her daughter, Mrs. Christian.

MCKIM - Robert McKim, the faithful beadle of Toronto University for the past thirty-three years, expired from heart failure at five or ten minutes past six on Saturday evening. Just about the same hour on Saturday Sir Daniel Wilson passed away. He had been most attentive in inquiring if he could do anything for Sir Daniel during his illness and every way manifested his grief at the president's death. He had suffered from heart disease for the past two years and was prepared for the end. He leaves a widow, three sons, and two daughters. Mr. McKim was born at Collooney, Ireland, county of Sligo, 67 years ago, coming to this country thirty-three or thirty-four years ago shortly before the university building was erected to which he was appointed beadle on its completion. He served with great bravery through the Crimean war as sergeant in the 13th Light Dragoons, was one of the 600, and fought at Alma, Inkerman, Sebastapol, and Balaclava, for which he received four medals.

WILSON (Toronto) - Sir Daniel Wilson, L.L.D., K.C.B., F.R.S., president of University College, Toronto, is dead. He died at his residence on St. George street at 5:50 p.m. on Saturday. During the winter months he had a severe attack of sickness, but regained his strength sufficiently to resume the greater part of his work at the university. He appeared in public for the last time at the commencement exercises in the pavillion on June 10. Shortly after that his constitution grew weaker until death came. Sir Daniel died in the library. He had been unconscious all day and his end was peaceful. The funeral took place at 3:30 p.m. yesterday from St. Philip's Church.

In Sir Daniel Wilson the University of Toronto has lost a man who for nearly forty years has been identified with her interests and who for years has occupied the highest position in her gift, and Toronto has lost a rare personality, has lost a citizen whose attainments had secured him pre-eminence in his special line of investigation and honour from scientists in America, Britain, and Europe alike.

The contribution to "The Encylopedia Britannica', the fellow of the Royal Society of Edinburgh, the foreign associate of the Societe d'Anthropologic de Paris, the author of "Prehistoric Man", was truly a citizen of no mean renown and the ex-president of the Y.M.C.A., the founder of the Newsboys' Home, and the friend of every charitable undertaking was a public spirited and benevolent citizen. Now that he has gone from our midst, it may be well to pass in brief review that record of a life well spent and to take stock of the work which he has done. It is not too much to expect that it will long be remembered after his decease.

Sir Daniel Wilson was a Scotchman, a native of Scotland's ancient capital. His father was Archibald Wilson and he was the second son of a rather large family. He did not possess a monopoly of the talent of the family, for one of his younger brothers was Professor George Wilson who in 1850 died an untimely death, not without having won for himself much repute in scientific circles. The famous high school of Edinburgh from which have gone forth so many noted men laid the foundation of his training. From there he went to the University of Edinburgh and from that seat of learning he emerged in 1837 twenty-one years of age and a graduate.

Then the young man turned to the literary mecca of the English speaking work to London. For several years he fought the battle of the pen in that crowded resort of men of letters and then he turned his face homeward again.

Still he was a writer and the columns of the "Scotchman", "Chambers Miscellany", the "British Quarterly", and the "Gentleman's Magazine" were open to his work. Then he made his first venture as an author. "Memorials of Edinburgh in the Olden Times" first appeared in 1842 and won the author no small fame. Daniel Wilson's spurs were won; the hardest part of the battle was over. A bare list of the Works he has published since that will show his subsequent activity. "Oliver Cromwell and the Protectorate"; "Prehistoric Annals of Scotland" his great work which appeared in 1851; "Prehistoric Man", the first fruits of American studies which was published in 1862: "Chatterton, a Biographical study"; "Caliban, the Missing Link"; "Spring Wild Flowers", his only venture in the line of verse; "Reminiscences of Old Edinburgh", printed in 1878, and his recent excellent work on lefthandedness, are items in the long and honourable list.

It was the "Prehistoric Annals of Scotland" that won Dr. Wilson as he then was the invitation to the chair of history and English literature in the then new University of Toronto. He accepted the post and had since then been identified with the interests of the university. It ws then in 1853, comparatively speaking, a day of small things. It was four years since the theological faculty has been wiped out and secularization accomplished. Previous to his arrival there had been only four professors. He threw himself into his work with ardour and within a few months refused the principalship of McGill University. He lectured and taught. As examiner he instituted an admirable system of questions. He cared for university outside interests and when necessary fought for her with vigor and success. And yet he was all the time engaged in incessant and profound research as the list of his works already given show.

Like many another thinker Sir Daniel possessed the gift of doing several things at the same time. The quiet labours of college life are not exciting and there is but little incident to note in his life from this time on. Not long after his arrival in Canada he was involved in a hot controversy with the Rev. Egerton Ryerson on the question of the subdivision of the university endowment. In 1881 he succeeded Dr. McCaul as president of the university. In 1888 he was knighted. Those are the main incidents of his outward life. The real dates are those of the publication of book after

book, each one a registrar, of successful stages in the inner life of the intellect. Of them mention has already been made. Hallam, the great historian, pronounced the “Prehistoric Annals” the most scientific treatment of the archeological evidence of primitive history which had ever been written. Costly as the work was, a second edition was necessary. "Prehistoric Man" won the highest praise. We may instance one passage, an extract from a review in the "Edinburgh Witness" then edited by Hugh Miller: "The topic is not only vast in range, complex in material, and difficult from its nature, but brings the man who ventures to discuss it, into contact with momentous and perplexing questions touching the origin of civilization; the unity of the human race, and the time during which man has been a denizen of this planet. Dr. Wilson proves himself at all points equal to the task". It may be noted that in the current edition of the "Encyclopedia Britannica" the articles on Canada, Confederation, and Toronto, are by him.

Another side of Sir Daniel's life calls for notice. He has been described as the eminent scientist, as the painstaking and successful educationist, as the authority on Archeology. It remains to speak briefly of him as the benevolent man whose hand was never withdrawn from a good work. The Boys' Home, the Y.M.C.A., the Newsboys' Home, have owed much to his care and interest. He took an active interest in the cause of education of all grades and was several times selected chairman of the Ontario High School Teachers' Association.

He was pre-eminently a man open to all influences of the time, a profound student, yet not immersed in his study, at once a scientist and a philanthropist. His life has been a well-spent one and has drawn to a peaceful,.dignified close. In life he was one of Toronto's most honoured citizens. In death he will be long remembered.

The barn was struck by lightning and burned to the ground and it is thought that Mr. Anderson received a shock and was unable to escape.

August 11, 1892

WICKS (Toronto) - John Wicks, aged 20, who boarded with Mrs. Parsons, Teraulay street, went in bathing off the old Credit Valley wharf at the foot of Simcoe street last night and was drowned. He had just secured employment on the street railway and commenced work yesterday morning. After supper he went to the wharf with Harry Leslie, Charles Knolton, and Thomas Metcalf, When they arrived a number of men were swimming and Knolton and Metcalf joined them. After they had been in the water some time, Wicks disrobed and stood on the edge of the dock.

One of his companions asked him if he knew how to swim. He replied that he did but had not been in the water for six years and was timid about taking a plunge. Harry Leslie advised him not to go in if he was doubtful about it. Wicks made no reply but jumped from the wharf. His feet seemed to shoot from under him and his back struck the water. He made a feeble motion with his head and sank from sight, never to rise again. His body was not recovered.

BERRINGER (Berlin) - A sad fatality took place at Waterloo last night. James Berringer, an old farmer, was returning to his home about a mile from Waterloo, when about half a mile from the town, his horse took fright and ran away. Mr. Berringer was thrown from the rig and the wheels passed over his body. He also sustained other very serious injuries from the effects of which he died. He is about 60 years of age.

FORTUNE (Carluke) On August 6, the remains of Mrs. Robert Fortune were laid to rest in the White Church cemetery. A very large procession of vehicles was in attendance. Mrs. Fortune had been in declining health for about a year and passed quietly away on Saturday morning. Her husband died about four years ago. She leaves four sons and four daughters to mourn her loss as

well as a large circle of friends. She was one of the oldest settlers and a consistent member of St. Paul's Presbyterian church, Carluke. The funeral services were conducted by Rev. Mr. Shearer of Drumbo in the absence of Rev. Mr. Muir, the pastor.

EBY, MOYER (Berlin) - One of the most shocking fatalities ever happening in this county took place near Centreville, a little village a few miles south of this town, last evening. Allan Eby and Simon Moyer, two young married men, were ploughing a field on their farm which is called the Stafford farm, yesterday afternoon when towards evening as the rain started to come down very heavily, they must have sought shelter under a large tree. An hour or so afterward, their wives, becoming anxious for the safety of their husbands as they did not come home, went out to look for them. Suspicions that some thing wrong had happened were aroused when they found the horses which the two men had been ploughing, running around the field loose.

Nothing, however, could be seen of their husbands and with deep foreboding thay began to search the field. Under a large tree they found them dead, lying side by side, the work of the dread lightning. One leg of one of the men's trousers and a shoe had been torn off by the lightning, but no other marks were found on either of the bodies. Half frantic, the women gave the alarm and medical aid from Berlin was summoned and the victims of the lightning removed to their homes. When the doctors arrived they pronounced the men as having been dead for hours. The deceased Allan Eby was about 28 years of age and was the son of Rev. Amos Eby, United Brethren minister. Simon Moyer was a son of Jonas Moyer, a prominent farmer in this township and a brother of Dr. S. Moyer of Galt.

LAROSE, BEAUCHAMP, RATELLE (Montreal) - Another of this frightful accidents which have been of so frequent occurrence in Montreal harbour this season, took place at an early hour this morning while the tug "William Paul" was moored at her berth in the Lachine carnal a few feet from Black's bridge. The fatality was a peculiarly sad one, three valuable lives being lost, without as much as moment's preparation for their last and greatest transition.

The "William Paul" is an old tug, commanded by Captain Larose, and after towing yesterday afternoon, the master left his craft and went home, leaving his two sons, Henri and Arthur, Alfred Beauchamp, aged 30, and Alexander Ratelle,14, on board to pass the night. Before leaving the captain took the precaution to stuff the exhaust pipe with cotton waste, and saying good-bye, walked up to his residence on Common street, not far away.

Unfortunately this did not keep the water out of the tug, for when the captain's eldest son who was sleeping in the wheelhouse awoke at one o'clock he found that the tug was rapidly filling with water. The young man, in fact, had barely time to jump on shore when the "William Paul" sank, carrying the three victims who slept in the cabin to the bottom of the canal. It is very easy to imagine the commotion created in the vicinity when the accident became known.

Thousands of people gathered on the canal bank, and foremost among the workers who were endeavouring to raise the tug was the captain himself. They succeeded however at four o'clock this afternoon and the bodies were found in the hold. The captain's young son, Henri, who perished was but 16 years of age and had been home from college on his holidays. An inquest will be held.

WARNER (Brockville) - This morning the body of a woman named Mrs. Warner was found floating in a bay of the river at the foot of Home street. She is alleged to have been deserted by her husband a couple of weeks ago, and becoming despondent, took to drink, which it is generally thought led her to commit suicide. She had told her associates on several occasions recently that she intended to drown herself. She had been rather a dissipated character for some time.

To-day the father and mother are mourning the loss of both their children which came about in the most tragic manner. Yesterday Madame Lachance has occasion to leave the house for little better than half an hour and it was during this brief absence that the dreadful fatality occurred. As soon as the mother had left, the younger girl suggested that they boil some corn and surprise Madame Lachance upon her return.

They at once placed some wood in the grate and in order to make it burn as quickly as possible the imprudent girls poured upon the wood a quantity of kerosene and then applied a match, both children standing near the place at the time.The result was an immediate explosion and while the girls' clothing was in flames the room was filled with blinding smoke. The piercing cries of the little unfortunate victims could be heard for a hundred yards and the parents and neighbours came rushing to the rescue of the little girls. They were on time to save the house and furniture

from destruction, but as far as human life was concerned the sacrifice was complete. The ten-year-old girl died in two hours’ time and her sufferings were not so intense as the little sister's were who during four hours underwent the most agonizing pain when death came to her relief.

He was sitting on the stern of a boat where he was seized with a fainting spell and fell into the water. One of the other youths bravely jumped in to the rescue, but. was unable to hold on to him in his death struggles, and before ten minutes the body was recovered and willing hands directed by Dr. Gullin did every thing to restore life but without avail. The body will arrive in Toronto at 5:30 this evening.

August 17, 1892

BURNS - Hanging to the rafters of a frame cottage on the farm of Walter Ghent, a quarter of a mile west of the waterworks, the body of John Burns was found last night. The body was discovered at 7 o'clock by Mr. Depew who notified Mr. Ghent. Mr. Ghent went to the cottage but as he did not know the man, he notified Constable Hazel. The constable and Thomas Armstrong cut down the body. At first it was thought that the deceased was a stranger in the locality, but he was afterward identified as being John Burns, an old soldier who had been in the neighbourhood for a couple of weeks. The body had been hanging in the cottage for fifteen or twenty hours. It was clearly a case of suicide, the deceased having threatened to drown or hang himself if he did not find some pension papers he had lost. Burns was about 48 years old. He serves as a private with ‘G’ Regiment, New Hampshire Volunteer Infantry during the American Civil war.

He was in receipt of a pension of $6 a month which was granted from December 29, 1885, on account of a gunshot wound in the right hand. The pension certificate and a medical certificate from Dr. Britton, 17 Isabella street, Toronto, were found on the body. Burns also received $900 from the U.S. Government. Coroner Woolverton was notified by constable Hazel and he decided to hold an inquest at 11:30 this morning.

COUSE - Early Tuesday morning one of the best known villagers, Alexander L. Couse, died in Beamsville. The death was a very sudden one. The deceased got up about 5:30 that morning and after performing his toilet went and called the servants. He returned to his room and without giving any sign fell to the floor. Mrs. Couse's screams brought immediate help, but only to find that the vital spark had fled. The sudden taking-off of the deceased was quite a shock to the community.

Mr. Couse had carried on the tavern-keeping business in the village for the last twenty-five years and no man in that business was better known or more highly respected throughout the county. An affection of the heart was the cause of the sudden death and although it was known to himself that he was liable to drop off at any moment, he kept that knowledge from his friends. He was a prominent Mason and will be buried by that order, a wife and two daughters mourn the loss of a kind protector and father.

DILLON (Montreal) - A painful scene was witnessed at the general hospital this evening. George Dillon, aged 35, was brought to the institution in question a few days ago and died at an early hour this morning, his wife and mother arriving from Chambly County shortly after 2 o'clock this afternoon. However a second woman appeared at the hospital, claimed to Mr. Dillon's wife, and declared with a great deal of persistence that she was the deceased's widow. The two women, in fact, would have come to blows had not the hospital authorities intervened. There can be no doubt that the woman from the county was Dillon's legitimate wife.

BLIGH (Toronto) - William Bligh, aged 30, of 303 Crawford street, attempted to get on the front platform of a Broadview Avenue car on King street west of York shortly before 2 p.m. yesterday.

BROUGHALL (Toronto) - The body of Henry Lloyd Broughall, one of the victims of the Port Union drowning accident, was found floating in the lake at noon yesterday about four miles below Victoria park by Joseph Williams, Jr., the manager of Kew Gardens. Mr. Williams was sailing about three hundred yards from the shore when he came across the body which was bloated and decomposed beyond recognition. He made it fast to his boat and towed it to a spot where C. P. Baker of College street and some other gentlemen were camping on the shore. Mr. Baker surmised that the body was either that of young Broughall or his companion Macnider, and determined to bring it to Toronto, With the assistance of his friends he wrapped the corpse in a sail and placing it in a dory towed it to Frederick street wharf and deposited it in the morgue. Esplanade constable Williams searched the body and found some papers in the dead man's pockets which established his identity beyond question. The family were notified and the remains were taken in charge by undertaker E. J. Humphires.

The accident in which the two young men lost their lives occurred on Sunday, July 17, near Port Union. The deceased, together with George F. Macnider, G. S. Kirkpatrick, and E..R. Ricketts, were out on a pleasure tour when a squall struck the yacht, upsetting it. The young men with difficulty climbed on to the upturned boat and with an oar endeavoured to reach the shore. Benumbed by the chilling waters of the lake, Broughall and Macnider lost their hold and were drowned. Kirkpatrick and Richetts reached the land in an exhausted condition. Broughall was 20 years old and was a son of Rev. A. J. Broughall, rector of St. Stephen's church, and was a valued employee of the Farmers' Loan and Savings Company.

Diack Died on August 18, Ethel, eldest daughter of Mr. and Mrs. William Diack, Jr., aged 2 years and 2 months. Funeral from late residence, 217 West avenue north, on Friday, at 3 p.m. Friends please accept this intimation.

HORE - Died in this city, on August 17, Francis W. Hore, in the 72nd year of his age. Funeral will take place from his late residence, 249 Victoria avenue north, on Friday, August 19, at 2 p.m., to proceed to the family burying groud, Bullock's Corners. Friends are requested not to send flowers.

Francis W. Hore, founder of the Hore Wheel Works, died yesterday afternoon at his residence, 249 Victoria avenue north. Mr. Hore had been ill for more that a year, suffering from a bronchial complaint which defied the skill of his physicians. He had been confined to his bed for the last eight days. His death was not unexpected.

By Mr. Hore's death Hamilton loses one of its foremost and best known manufacturers as well as a citizen of sterling worth. Mr. Hore was born in 1821 in Hunstan parish, Sussex, England. His father, John Hore, came to Canada with all his family settling in Galt. With characteristic energy these sturdy Englishmen went to work wherever work was to be found and the father and his three sons helped to construct the Dundas road and the Waterloo road.

The family moved to West Flamborough in 1848. F.W. Hore secured a position in Hon. James Crooks's saw mill at Crooks Hollow and three years later he was rewarded for his fidelity with an interest in the business. In 1854, he withdrew from the business and removed to Lynden where he set up a saw mill of his own, but two years later he sold out and rented another mill at Greensville, subsequently purchasing it together with an adjoining farm.

Here he lived for several years and carried on a prosperous business until the pine timber began to give out. Then in 1873 he built a large hub and spoke factory, and taking on his son, Francis, into partnership, did a large and rapidly increasing business until 1879 when the factory was destroyed by fire and the firm last half its capital. Nothing daunted, Mr. Hore moved into Hamilton and established the manufacturing business with which he and his sons have ever since been identified. In 1887 the capital of the factory doubled. Additions have since been made until now the Hamilton Wheel Works are the largest works of the kind in Canada. Latterly the business has been carried on by John G. and George C. Hore under the firm name of F. W. Hore Sons, the eldest one, Francis, having died. Two years ago the founder of the firm retired from business.

In 1852 Mr. Hore was married to Sophia Fearman, daughter of the late William Fearman, and sister of F.W. Fearman of this city. She, with a family of five children, two sons and three daughters, survives him.

The deceased was a sound Conservative, always consistent with the political principles which he professed. He never entered public life in Hamilton, but was for fifteen years a member of the West Flamborough council and for three years deputy reeve. He was a member of the committee which selected the site of the county jail.

Mr. Hore took a keen and active interest in church matters. He was a member of the Anglican church and was for a number of years church warden of Christ Church, Flamborough. Since coming to Hamilton he was a member of St. Thomas church.

The career of such a man is a valuable object lesson, By sheer industry and integrity, he rose to a commanding position in the industrial world and impressed his mark wide and deep on the community.

The funeral will take place to-morrow at 2 p.m. from the family residence. The remains will be taken to the family burial ground, Bullock's Corners, for interment.

HOWELL (Goderich) - This afternoon about 4:40 James Howell, aged 14, and Roy Howell, aged 5, sons of Rev. J. R. Howell, and Montague Colborne, aged about 9, were out on the lake together in a small flat-bottomed boat. Roy, who was sitting in the end of the boat leaning over, fell out. His brother, James, jumped in after him, caught him, and tried to get him in, but could not manage it, and after calling for help, both sank in about ten feet of water and were drowned. They were with other members of the family at a small picnic on Attrill's beach, north of the town. Your correspondent who was some distance away, got a boat and went to the spot as quickly as possible, but as the water was rising the bodies could not be seen.

After bringing ashore Montague Colborne who was sitting in the boat with one oar, he gave the alarm at the wharf to lighthouse keeper Robert Campbell. Campbell and others succeeded with hooks in getting the body of James about six o'clock. Resuscitation was tried but nothing could be done, the body being rigid when found. Parties are now (8:30) still searching for the body of Roy.

WILSON (Keswick) - An inquest was held here to-night on the bodies of Mrs. Frank Wilson and her little daughter, and the coroner's jury returned a verdict of manslaughter implicating Frank Wilson, husband of the deceased.

DILLON (Montreal) - Yesterday's papers told of George Dillon who died yesterday in the English hospital here and whose body had been claimed by two alleged widows. The funeral took place this afternoon and afforded a scene not often witnessed in this county. Dillon had died a Roman Catholic and as both wives were Protestants, it was difficult to decide where the much-married man was to be buried.

Finally Mount Royal was chosen and an Anglican divine officiated at the institution, above mentioned, after which the procession moved off. Following the hearse was a carriage containing the widow Dillon from St. Philip street, and later came the other Mrs. Dillon who with her mother had come from the country to take part at the last rites. One lady says her name was Miss Scott and she married Dillon three years ago, and the other asserts that she has been the one and only legitimate Mrs. Dillon for ten years or more. By the side of the grave widow No 1 remained in her carriage while No 2 moved forward and shed copious tears in face of the open tomb, and on the whole it was about as unique a scene as has been witnessed for many a long day.

BLACK (St. Catharines) - On Monday evening, Robert Black, a young farmer residing near Wellandport, went in the Chippawa for a swim. A number of friends were with him. He must have taken a cramp as he sank and was drowned. His body was recovered some hours later.

MOSS (St. Catharines) - A sad and fatal accident occurred at Virgil on Saturday evening. A young man named Moss, working as a farm hand for Mr. Perry, was driving a spirited horse

BRENNEN - Died at his residence, No 418 Main street east, on Sunday evening, Michael Brennen, aged 57 years and 9 months. Funeral on Wednesday at 3:30 o'clock. Friends will please accept this intimation.

Last night Michael Brennen, a man well known and universally esteemed by Hamilton, passed away from this life. Mr. Brennen had for many months been suffering from an internal disorder which the skill of the local physicians could not cope with. Last spring he sought relief in change of air and scene and visited his married daughter in Regina, afterward going on to the Pacific coast. His trip did him no good.

Five weeks ago he went to New York and consulted eminent specialists there. It was only then that the gravity of his condition was realized. The New York physicians pronounced the disease from which he suffered to be cancer of the stomach, and their opinion was that he had only a few weeks to live. Mr. Brennen received the news with the calm resignation of a Christian man and during the past few weeks bore his suffering with heroic patience and fortitude. He was conscious up to a few minutes of his death.

Mr. Brennen was born in Hemingford, Quebec, in 1834. He came to Hamilton in 1853 and two years later started in business as a manufacturer of sashes and doors, his factory being in rear of the premises now occupied by his extensive factory. For ten years he carried on a prosperous business there and then bought the present factory site and moved there. In 1872 he purchased a saw mill in West Flamborough and ran it for three or four years when he sold it to advantage. A mill in Tioga, Simcoe county, was then added to his property and still continues to be operated

by the firm. In 1886 the large mill at Huntsville, Muskoka, and Sundridge, Parry Sound were established and are still operated. Until 1881, Mr. Brennen managed the whole of his already extensive business, but its rapid impelled him in that year to take his three eldest sons into partnership and the firm of M. Brennan & Sons was established. In 1889 the firm was again changed, being organized with the name M. Brennen & Sons Manufacturing Company, under which name the extensive manufacturing business founded by Mr. Brennen is now carried on.

In 1854 Mr. Brennen married Miss Sarah Scott, the ceremony being performed in Knox Church, by the late Prof. George Paxton Young of Toronto-,University, who was the pastor of Knox Church. Mrs. Brennen survives her husband with ten of their children, six sons and 4 daughters. The sons are: Joseph S., Hugh S., Edward, Fred W., Herbert, and Albert, the eldest of whom are married. The daughters are: Mrs. Adam D. Ferguson, of Regina, N.W.T.; Mrs. Thompson, wife of Rev. James Thompson, of Watford; and Misses Maria and Edith Brennen.

The deceased had been a member of Knox church during almost the whole of his residence in Hamilton. He was an active church worker and was particularly interested in Sunday School work, having been for many years a teacher in the Knox Church Sunday school and for three years as superintendent. In Tioga he built a church and contributed annually towards its maintenance. He was chairman of the Tioga school board.

In all matters affecting the moral condition of the community Mr. Brennen was profoundly interested. His interest took a form in 1886 when he accepted the responsibility of running for mayor as the candidate of the 'moral reform' party. He did not hope for success but he succeeded in polling a large vote. His interest in moral reform did not, however, begin or end with the election experience. His sympathy and his purse were always at the command of those who instituted any movement which appealed to his intelligence as being the interest of the moral welfare of the community. In fact Mr. Brennen was a practical philanthropist.

He was a member of Doric Lodge, A.F. & A.M. but he never sought the higher honours in Masonry. He was one of the organizers of the Freeholders' Association and at the last annual meeting was elected president.

The funeral will take place on Wednesday at 3:30 p.m. from the family residence, 418 Main street east.

His head was completely severed from his body and the body was literally cut to pieces.

Shortly before 8 o'clock last night a frightful accident occurred at Freeman's fertilizing works on Wentworth street. On the third storey of the building was a large boiler or tank used for the purpose of reducing the remains of horses and other animals. This tank was attended by the night watchman, Albert Babcock, whose duty was to look after the building at night and attend to the steam tank. Last night he allowed too great a pressure of steam to accumulate and the result was disastrous to himself. The big iron cover of the tank was blown off, and was driven against the

roof with such force as to leave a jagged hole in it. The cover fell back into the room. The noise of the explosion was heard many blocks away and soon attracted a large crowd at the spot. Poor Babcock was found in a corner of the room. He presented a horrible appearance. The top of his skull was crushed in and his brains were exuding. An arm was broken, his face was black and bloody, and he was terribly scalded by the steam. He was still alive, however, though unconscious, and the city ambulance was hastily sent for. Babcock was conveyed to the city hospital where he died half an hour after his arrival.

It is supposed that at the time the accident occurred he was standing in a stooping position over the tank and that the edge of the cover struck him in the forehead as it flew up, crushing in his skull and hurling him into the corner. There were safety valves and a steam gauge attached to the tank and the inference is that the poor fellow's death was the result of his own carelessness.

Babcock was 26 years of age. He came to Hamilton from England eighteen months ago and had for ten months been in the employ of Mr. Freeman. A year ago he was married and he became a father a few weeks ago. He lived at 185 Simcoe street.

He saw a dark object on the track in front of the station and pulled up. When the crew reached the spot where the object lay they were horrified to see the mangled remains of a human being. The body was then still warm, showing that it could not have been dead more that half an hour.

The deceased was engaged in work among some machinery when a belt flew off a pulley and dealt him a severe blow on the head which left him in a state of unconsciousness. He was borne to his residence and Dr. Spencer of Dundas street did all that was possible to alleviate his suffering. Medical skill proved of no avail, however, and on Saturday evening the wounded man passed away.

YORK (Toronto) - About fourteen months ago a young man named Arthur York took up his residence in the village of West Sutton. He hailed from near Uxbridge. York was bright and blythesome, not bad looking, and was not long in forming a large circle of acquaintances. Notwithstanding his predilection for the wine cup, gay young Arthur was quite a lady's man and soon comely and petite Miss Torbett fell under his sway. Their courtship was as short as was the happiness of their subsequent married life. The fruit of the union was a son, but instead of being looked upon with joy by the father its advent was greeted with displeasure. Saturday night the unnaturalness is alleged to have led to the perpetration of a crime which has lodged the father behind prison bars.

On the day in question York and his wife had one of their usual broils. During its progress the mother, in a fit of anger, recklessly told her husband that she would leave both him and the baby. Suiting the action to the word she left the house. An hour's absence served to soothe her ruffled feelings. She returned ready to forgive and be forgiven and was shocked to find the babe lying on the floor dead.

Suspicion fell upon the father who had previously tried to take his own life. An inquest was ordered and yesterday an inquiry into the cause of death was opened by Coroner Scott of Newmarket. The jury returned with a verdict of manslaughter and York was placed under arrest. Constable Millard will bring him to Toronto jail this morning and his case will come up for trial at the fall assizes.

Both tried to pass to the north side in front of the car and they came into collision. Heard fell directly in front of the car and his companion, paying no heed to his friend, rode on. The motorman reversed the motor and applied the brakes, stopping the car almost instantly, but too late to save the unfortunate man's life. The stopping was so quick that the first wheel instead of passing over him, pinned him down and the car has to be jacked up in order that the poor fellow might be extricated. He was still living, but died before the police ambulance arrived. The body was taken to the morgue in the patrol wagon.

CURRIE (Woodstock) - John Currie, a foreman in James Hay & Co's factory was the victim of an accident at the factory yesterday afternoon which resulted in his death. He was in the act of running some lumber off at a circular saw when the lower board caught. Mr. Currie did not use the gauge, although there was such an attachment as a guarantee of safety and when the board flew back, it struck him a stunning blow in the stomach. He held on to the boards, however, and attempted to pull them out, but the pain from the first shock almost doubled him up. He suffered the greatest agony. There was not even an abrasion of the skin but the awful suffering of the poor fellow was evidence that he had been injured internally. Mr. Currie was taken to his house

on Beal street and Drs. Welford and Odium summoned. They did everything, of course, but were unable to relieve their patient. For several hours he suffered the most excruciating pain, when finally mortification set in and he died at 7 o'clock this morning. John Currie was 39 years of age and was unmarried.

Robert Jarvis Hamilton, probably the oldest inhabitant of Hamilton, not in years but in length of residence, died this morning at the old Hamilton homestead at the corner of King and Bay streets. Mr. Hamilton had lived in Hamilton continuously for 80 years. He saw the place when it was but a small settlement, a straggling collection of log houses in the midst of the primeval forest, and has lived to see it gradually grow into the second city of the first province of this imperial Dominion. Mr. Hamilton had been in poor health for eighteen, months, being troubled with a bronchial complaint. This hastened the natural decay of old age and for several months his death was looked for at any time.

The deceased was a son of the late Hon. George Hamilton from whom the city derived its name. He was born at Niagara, 81 years ago, and when he was an infant his parents moved to Hamilton. His father was a member of parliament for the Gore district and lived in the residence now owned by Samuel Barker.

VENEY (Amherstburg) - A shocking affair, the brutal murder of a wife by an insanely jealous husband, startled Amherstburg on Saturday night. The murderer is Anderson Veney, coloured, 45 years of age and a barber by trade. George Street, while on his way home, heard screaming from his neighbour Veney's house. He ran to the back door and on looking in, a frightful scene was presented. Mrs. Veney lay upon the kitchen floor, her throat cut from ear to ear and Veney was walking up and down the room covered with blood and with an open penknife in his hand.

Mr. Street at once ran to summon the police and soon returned in company with Chief Lundy. When Mr. Street and the officer reached the kitchen, they found Veney in the act of cutting his own throat with the same knife he had used to murder his wife, the knife being taken from him and Dr. Proudfoot called in.

An examination showed that Mrs. Veney was dead and that Veney's wounds, though severe, were in no way likely to prove fatal. The small gashes in his throat were stitched and he was locked up. He persistently refused to answer any questions and it is inferred that he will make insanity his defence. The murdered woman was his second wife. He has two children by a former marriage, and none by the last. The couple had been married about eleven years and of late had repeated quarrels, all on account of the husband's jealousy. About four weeks ago during one of their fits, he nearly chopped her to death with an axe.

He intended while here to undergo a course of treatment by some of the leading city doctors. On Saturday morning he boarded a Carlton street car, but before he had ridden many minutes, he was struck with acute heart failure. The dying man was carried to Dr. Trow's residence and the best medical did summoned, but without avail. The remains were conveyed to Stratford on the 11:20 train Saturday night.

READ - A familiar face will be missed at the next meeting of the Niagara Synod, for the venerable Canon Read of Grimsby has passed away. For the past quarter of a century the deceased had been a prominent figure in the councils of the church and his clear foresight and sound judgment made him a valuable co-adjutor in any work that was to be carried out either in the temporal or the spiritual interests of the church

Rev. Canon Read died at Grimsby on Wednesday, September 7. His funeral took place on Saturday when twenty clergymen with the bishop of the diocese were present. Having been rector for twenty-five years and been foremost in all religious and philanthropic work, the deceased had such a strong hold on the community that his funeral was the largest that has ever taken place in the vicinity of Grimsby. The reverend doctor will be much missed in his late field of toil. He had reached the ripe age of 76 years.

Not only by his church had he been most useful. As chairman of the high school board of the Village of Grimsby he did good work. Probably no man now living had the experience that the late rector had in the matter of education. In every public effort that in any way he was able to assist in, he was also always found ready and willing to act. From an attack of la grippe about two years ago, he never completely recovered and the sad death of his wife in the spring of 1891 at the same time when he was suffering from a severe attack of sickness was almost too much for him to bear. He, however, recovered almost entirely and taking a trip to England, his native home which he had not seen for nearly seventy years, he returned to his parish in the fall of 1891 apparently much benefitted in health and resuming his duties as rector continued until a short time before his death to take part in the services of the church, preaching for the last time on Sunday, August 21. On the following Friday he was again taken ill and gradually becoming worse, on Wednesday, September 7, he quietly passed away.

The funeral which took place on Friday at 2 p.m. was very largely attended. All places of business in the village were closed and every possible mark of respect shown.

The flags in the city and St. Boniface are at half mast in respect to the dead.

The boy had his leg amputated and it thought he will live.

TREMBLAY (Montreal) - Catharine Tremblay, aged 80 years, died to-day in the Notre Dame hospital under the following circumstances.

Poor John MacIntosh died at the asylum for the insane yesterday. A few years ago he conducted a tailoring business on James street and was one of the best known and most popular of men in town. He was an inveterate practical joker and made much merriment for the boys. His little boy, of whom he thought a great deal, was one day crushed under the wheels of a heavily laden wagon and died. From that day poor John Macintosh was not the same. He brooded over his bereavement until softening of the brain set in. He grew rapidly worse until he became hopelessly imbecile and he was removed to the asylum. At the asylum he was quiet and apparently contented, but his world had gone from him and he failed to recognize his former associates. Even his wife could not raise recognition from the poor fellow.

He was a member of Court Oronlyatekka, Independent Order of Foresters. After her husband was sent to the asylum, the court paid her $1000 on account of his permanent disability. A thousand more is now due the widow.

STEWART (Oakville) - The shooting suicide of Robert Stewart, aged 32, who lived with his mother on the 6th line, Trafalgar, was the old, old story of a girl in the case. His body was found lying across the bed and a 32 calibre revolver by his bedside on Saturday last. He had shot himself in the right temple, causing instant death. Dr. McCrimmon of Palermo visited the place on Sunday and considered an inquest unnecessary. The remains were buried in Omagh cemetery on Sunday afternoon.

A letter was found, dated 7 a.m. Tuesday last, in which the the deceased bade good-bye to his mother, sisters, and sweetheart, and said that the cause would be buried with his heart. The latest rumours state that it was well no other lives were sacrificed as a rival in love affairs was looked upon with vicious eyes by the deceased. Stewart had kept company with a young lady in the vicinity for years, but another young man had recently come in for a larger share, and it is believed that the girl's refusal to attend the Toronto exhibition with him brought about the suicide which is suspected to have been Tuesday night or Wednesday morning. Stewart went to Omagh post office on Tuesday last, received a letter, went home, wrote a reply, and posted it to whom is not known. This was the last seen of him alive.

MITCHELL (Perth) - About 9 o'clock this morning the body of George Bruce Mitchell, a son of our respected townsman, John Mitchell, was found lying dead alongside the C.P.R. track about two hundred yards from the station. When found the body was lying face down in the ditch in two feet of water about six feet from the track and was first noticed by a fireman on a passing freight. The body was immediately removed to the station and the friends and coroner notified. The coroner viewed the body and decided to hold an inquest.

The jury and the coroner inspected the place and the inquest was adjourned in order to obtain the evidence of the railway employees.

Mr. Mitchell was born and brought up in Perth and for many years was a clerk in Martindale's hardware store. He left Perth over twenty years ago. He held a situation at Rochester, N.Y. for a few years and then removed to St. Louis where he has carried on an extensive and successful hardware business. He was in Chicago and Detroit last week and on Thursday telegraphed to his father that he would be in Perth on Friday morning. His friends expected him here on Friday

or Saturday. His parents supposed he had changed his mind and had gone home to St. Louis. Mr. Mitchell arrived here at the station by the night express from Toronto which reached here about 4 o'clock on Monday morning. He got off the train and gave his baggage and overcoat to the Hicks House porter and told him he vas going to Smiths Falls to see a friend and would return on the eight-o'clock train the same evening. So far as known at present this was the last time he was seen alive.

When found he had a gash on the back of his head about the size of an egg, and a cut about two inches long on the upper part of the forehead, but no other marks of violence were seen. Blood and a piece of waste about the size of the hand, saturated with blood, were found on the south side of the main track while the body was found on the north side of the siding, about thirty or forty yards distant, so that in some way poor Mitchell must have been moved after he had received his injuries nearly forty yards over an embankment about two feet high and across two tracks. It is considered impossible that Mitchell could have walked that distance without assistance after receiving such serious injuries. On his person were found his watch and $6 in Canadian bills and 35¢ in silver, but no letters or papers of any kind by which he might have been identified. Mr. Mitchell was in the habit of carrying papers and comparatively large sums of money when travelling, and the fact that no paper being found in his pockets and such a small sum of money being found, leads to the suspicion of robbery and murder to cover it up. Mr. Mitchell leaves a wife and two children in St. Louis, besides his father, mother, and one brother here, and two brothers at present living in the United States.

He was taken into a neighbouring store where he died within a few minutes. Deceased came here from Hamilton a short time ago and was a law student in the office of Ritchie, Ludwig, and Leeming.

Mr. Blackley was a well known young law student here, having studied in Walker, Scott, and Lees office for the past three years.

She lay in a pool of blood with a charge of shot in the centre of her breast and her brother's gun lying nearby. The circumstances of the young woman's sensational death are most mysterious. The generally accepted theory is that she suicided, but there are those who incline to believe that she was murdered and their belief is strengthened by the positive statement of a lady neighbour that about three o'clock in the morning she heard a man hurriedly leaving the Odell residence and run down the street. The strangest part of the affair is that neither this lady nor the families sleeping upstairs heard the report of the gun.

The brother of the young woman says that he returned on Saturday evening from a hunting expedition and before leaving the gun in the kitchen where it was found withdrew the charge. Miss Odell had no trouble as far as known and retired last night at the usual hour apparently in good spirits. The police are now busy on the strange case.

She left the house of her employers about 6:30 and though search was made until long after midnight, nothing was seen or heard of her. The searchers continued for some days without avail. The mystery was solved this morning by the discovery of her body floating in the Sydenham river at the south end of town by John Colpitte who had gone out early this morning duck shooting. An inquest was held this evening and evidence left no doubt that she had drowned while labouring under a fit of temporary insanity.

AIKENS - After eating a heavy dinner to-day Robert Aikens, a sailmaker, living at 46 Stuart street east, went into a bedroom, tied a valise strap twice around his neck, and fixing it to the bedpost, succeeded in hanging himself. Mrs. Aikens heard a noise in the room but thinking that it was a horse in the stable at the rear, she did not investigate. When she did go into the room, she was horrified to find her husband dead. After he attached the strap to the bedpost he spread out his feet and in that way strangled himself.

Aikens had been out of work for several months and was very despondent. Last winter he had the grip and since recovering, his mind has been affected. Several times he had threatened to commit

suicide. This morning Aikens had a razor and was walking up and down in the room swearing that he would kill himself. Mrs. Aikens had heard him speak in that way before, but she did not believe that he would carry out the threat.

The suicide was about 50 years old and was the father of four children. Coroner Woolverton was summoned and went down to the house. After being made acquainted with the facts, he decided that an inquest was unnecessary as it was clearly a case of suicide.

Additional particulars of how Manson committed the awful deed are furnished by Mr. Ryckman. The deceased had been very restless for several days before, and the authorities of the Homewood retreat, fearing that he might injure himself, had him confined in a room with

nothing but a bed in it. His razors and everything that he might injure himself with had been removed and the attendants kept a close watch upon him. He was visited about 7:30 in the evening to see if he wanted anything and said he was quite comfortable. He was lying down then. At 9:15 the attendant visited him again and was horrified to find him lying dead in a pool of blood. He had a razor in his hand with which he had severed the jugular vein. The razor belonged to one of the convalescent patients who had been using it the previous day and placed it in a drawer. Mr. Manson must have secured it and secreted it about his person, for his pockets were searched before he was put into room to see that he had nothing on him with which he could injure himself.

When they were attempting an entrance below the cries of the suffering children were awful. Then followed a terrible heart rending shriek and all was silence save the crackling of the burning wood. After the fire had burned out, the charred remains of the four little ones were taken out. The children were aged respectively one and a half, two and a half, four, and six years.

In a fit of despondency, James Munn, a moulder, took a dose of 'rough on rats' between four and five o'clock this afternoon. There was some difficulty about getting a physician, all of those telephoned being out on their trip, and when Dr. Woolverton arrived, Munn was very low. By the aid of a stomach pump and emetics, the unfortunate man showed some signs of improvement and there was every hope that he would recover, but he became worse again about midnight and died at four o'clock this morning.

The circumstances of the case are very sad. Mann was about 52 years of age and lived at 135 John street north. He was employed at Burrow, Stewart, & Milne's foundry and was a hardworking man, but at times he fell a victim to strong drink and could not control himself. When in that condition he was very despondent and had frequently threatened to take his life. Until a little over a week ago he had worked steadily for several months, but last week he broke out again. He was seen by Dr. Mackelcan on Monday and promised to go to work on the

following day, but he did not do so. It is said that he asked his wife for money but she would not give it to him. He became despondent and took a large dose of the rat poison. Mrs. Munn knew nothing about her husband's desperate act until she heard screams, and going into the room, she found him in a stupor. Dr. Woolverton did all in his power to save the man's life, but too long a time had elapsed between the taking of the poison and when Munn received medical attention, and the unfortunate man died.

The deceased leaves a wife and six children. He lived in a little frame house, 135 John street north. It is said that Munn made two previous attempts to commit suicide and that on one occasion he jumped into the water at the foot of James street and was saved by constable Coulter.

It was decided to hold an inquest at 12 o'clock to-day and constable Tuck summoned a jury, but after Coroner Mackelcan heard the facts he concluded there was no necessity for it. He had attended Munn and knew his failing. Munn was well liked but his love for strong drink caused his ruin.

Yesterday his medical advisers held a consultation and would have performed an operation upon him, but his condition was such that it was thought advisable to abandon the idea for the time at least. Three weeks ago Mr. Bigelow accompanied the Toronto party to the dedicatory services of the World's Fair, and it was during that trip that he contracted a cold, the immediate cause of death.

JONES (Montreal) - An old newspaper man came to a sad end last evening. William Jones was well and favourably known on both the English and French press and his only fault was strong drink which no doubt can be credited with his tragic death.

He was boarding at 33 German street and not coming down at the usual hour, the landlady went up to see what was the matter and the messenger was horrified to find the old gentleman dead, he having committed suicide by hanging.

On Saturday night he took umbrage at something and went to bed without his supper. He was not disturbed until 9 o'clock yesterday when his wife went to call him. He made no intelligible reply; so his family allowed him to sleep until 2 o'clock in the afternoon when his better half made a second attempt to rouse her husband but without success. Mr. Ramsden, Brady's son-in-law, went to the old gentleman's room at five o'clock and found him dead. Death was evidently due to either heart disease or laudanum.

The doctors decided that an inquest was unnecessary. Some time ago the deceased boasted that he had a quantity of poison in his possession and that he would destroy himself with it some day. There were no traces of the drug to be found however. The deceased has been too infirm to work for a long time. He was formerly known as an industrious worker and was always a total abstainer.

It was his custom to drop down in the bottom of the wagon and allow the team to pass over him. But on this occasion he either did not drop quick enough or the horses backed with a rush and the result was that Guest was thrown forward and his head caught between the front of the wagon box and the top of the shed, crushing his skull.

A friend claimed to have seen him get off the train at Essex, but no person else saw him. Some time after, a pile of bones, a pair of shoes, and portions of clothing were found near Woodslee, and the conclusion was at once arrived at that they were the remains of Oscar Thornton.

A coroner's jury sat on the find and decided that way, and everybody thought Thornton had been robbed and murdered. Now, however, comes the mystery. Yesterday Mr. Thornton's family received a telegram from a town in Indiana to the effect that Mr. Thornton had died there on Tuesday and that the body was being sent home for burial. Explanations are eagerly awaited.

Snow forced an entrance and discovered O'Hara face downward on the bed.

He had all his clothes on except his coat and hat. He was black in the face and blood was oozing from the mouth. The body was removed to the morgue. Coroner Aikins was called but he decided not to hold an inquest. The police telegraphed to the Collingwood authorities for information about the deceased.

James Jolley died at his residence, 27 Hunter street east, this morning. Mr. Jolley's health since last spring slowly declined, but it is not many days since he was confined to his bed. His death was the result of physical decay caused by old age.

Mr. Jolley was born in Argyllshire, Scotland, in January 1812. Having learned the trade of saddlery in his native land he emigrated to Canada when a boy and settling in Montreal, worked at his trade. When only seventeen years old he was foreman of a large shop owned by a Mr. Thornton. He was in Montreal during the Papineau rebellion of 1837 and took an active part on the side of the government. About fifty years ago he came to Hamilton and established a business on King street east opposite the Ladies' College. Two years later he moved his business to his well known premises on John street south where it has been carried on by himself and his sons ever since.

Mr. Jolley although a public-spirited man only sought municipal honours once. Many years ago he was elected as an alderman for St. Patrick's ward, but served only one year. When he left the council he devoted himself to the task of having a free road constructed up the mountain for the benefit of farmers entering the city and the result of his labours in that direction is the road which bears his name, the Jolley Cut, which was built by private subscriptions chiefly through his instrumentality.

The deceased gentleman was a consistent and devout member of the Anglican church. He and F. W. Gates were the oldest members of the Church of the Ascension. Mr. Jolley was deeply interested in the troubles which recently distracted the Ascension congregation and his latter days were comforted by the restoration of peace in the church. Long ago he took an active interest in the Oddfellows' Society and passed through all the chairs of one of the city lodges. Mr. Jolley was a man whose conduct was regulated by principles of honour and strict integrity and few citizens of Hamilton have been more generally esteemed that he.

He was twice married. His first wife bore him one son, Hon. R. L. Jolley, of Vermilion, South Dakota, a member of the United States congress for his district. His second wife survives him, together with the following sons and daughters: H.B., C.J., and W.D. Jolley of Hamilton: Mrs. J. R. Moody, Hamilton; Mrs. William Foulds of Rochester, N.Y.; and Mrs. W. A. Williams of Columbus, Ohio.

BUTT (Toronto) - Elizabeth Butt, a widow aged 45, who resided at 63 Wood street, committed suicide yesterday by hanging herself. She had supported herself and her two children by renting furnished rooms to students and had grown despondent on account of the small income she derived from that source. Mrs. Butt was last seen about 8:30 yesterday morning by William Hamilton, a student at the School of Pedagogy. She had just bidden her two children good-bye as they started for school. She said, "Don't fret, Ernie, if I am not at home when you come for lunch at twelve". They did not see her at noon and when she wis still missing at four, they called on Mrs. W. C, Johnston who lives next door.

Mrs. Butt was a frail weakly woman and might be unconscious in the cellar, so Mrs. Johnston thought. When she went in search she found the deceased in the cellar hanging by a rope from the joist overhead. The rope was braided quarter mesh and was tied double in a running noose.

Mrs. Butt had no relatives in this country, but Mrs. Johnston knew that she had formerly been a nurse in the family of Thomas Jolliffe of Jolliffe and Co. So that gentleman was promptly notified. He has been on intimate terms with the deceased ever since she arrived from England four years ago and in the absence of relatives took possession of the premises until friends could be cabled.

Coroner Aikens was notified but upon investigation concluded that an inquest wis unnecessary.

Mrs. Butt had been twice married. Her first husband was a Mr. Marshall and the second, Mr. Butt, was a hotel keeper who lived but a short time. Upon his death she came to Canada. Nothing is known of her friends in England, but Mr. Johnston hopes to ascertain the necessary information by searching through her affects.

Coroner Devlin is holding an inquest which has just adjourned till to-morrow in order that a post mortem may be made.

CABLE (Ottawa) - Mr. Hamilton Cable, a well known and well-to-do farmer of Aylwin township near Kazelbazua, committed suicide yesterday by hanging himself in his room. No cause is assigned except temporary insanity. A brother of his, who was a student for the Methodist ministry, committed suicide some years ago by shooting himself. The act in his case was also put down to insanity as nothing to account for such an act could be discovered. Mr. Cable, who owned a large and well cultivated farm, was one of the pioneers of the county in which he lived. He was a married man of family and had always been respected by the neighbours. In disposition he was quiet and plodding, and he had never been known to be intemperate. The unfortunate man vas about 50 years of age.

Here his daughter Catharine was born in 1809, one of a family of fifteen. In 1837 she married William O. Eastman, son of Rev. D. W. Eastman, one of the pioneer preachers in the peninsula who began his work here in 1801. At that time he was undecided whether to secure a farm where the city of Hamilton is now built or to settle at Beaverdams, but finally decided on the latter location. The newly-married couple settled in Gainsborough township where they lived happily and where seven children were born to them.

December 10, 1892

HENDERSON - The circumstances connected with the death of Teenie Henderson whose body was found lying on the cold sands of Willow Cove on the north side of Hamilton Bay this morning would furnish all the elements of a sombre romance such as the genius of Hawthorne delights in. At daylight this morning searchers found the body of the unfortunate young woman lying on the bay shore. She had not been drowned but had died of exposure, and no more pathetic picture could be imagined than the sight of that handsome young form lying amid the ooze and slime of the bay margin. It represented the last sad scene of one of these really romantic love affairs that occasionally come to light in these modern and practical days.

Teenie Henderson lived with her mother and uncle in an ancient frame dwelling on the bluff overlooking the bay near the Roman Catholic cemetery. She was a fine-looking young woman, a teacher in the Sunday school and a member of the Young People's society of Christian Endeavour in connection with the neighbouring church. According to the story told a reporter by her uncle, Alexander Henderson this morning, Teenie was wooed and won by a young Methodist minister who had charge of the church she attended. A little over a year ago she announced her engagement to her friends and her wedding dress was got ready. But something came between them at the last moment and the wedding dress was put away and the girl became despondent and melancholy. Meanwhile the young preacher had come to Hamilton to take charge of a prominent congregation and had married here. Miss Henderson became more despondent and gradually her brain seemed to become affected.

A fright she sustained last June when a couple of drunken city roughs tried to break into the house on a Sunday afternoon still further aggravated her mental trouble and soon she took to her bed and has remained there almost altogether since that time, only getting up at intervals. Physically she was quite well, but her mental trouble seemed to be of a peculiar kind. She took no further interest in what went on around her and seemed satisfied to mope in her room day after day, waiting for death. She never expressed any particular wish to die or spoke of suicide, but her interest in life had departed.

Yesterday she was in her room as usual. Mr. Henderson and his sister, who are the only other occupants of the house, were up late preparing to go to the market to-day, and at eleven o'clock they did the churning. Teenie was in her room then. They went to the barn for some purpose, and returning five minutes later, they found the girl gone. Taking a lantern, old Henderson searched in every direction, calling his niece, but could find no trace of her. They searched most of the night and as soon as it was daylight went out again. Just in the gray winter dawn as the heavy mists were rising up from among the dry reeds on the bay shore, they found the body. It was lying in the tangled mass of weeds and drifted flotsam washed up by the waves in the pretty cove just east of Willow Point. There was nothing on the body but a night dress and the deceased lay on her side, the feet only being in the water.

It is nearly a quarter of a mile from the house to the bay shore and she had evidently come down a long rough path in a ravine which is full of tangled brush and thorn bushes, for her face and arms were scratched and her feet cut by stones and pierced by the thorns. Whether she intended to drown herself and fell exhausted on reaching the water, or whether she simply wandered out into the bitter night and died of exposure, will never be known. Henderson summoned Charles Shears, constable David Blain, and the caretaker of the Catholic cemetery, and the four men carried the body up the steep tortuous path to the house where it is now lying. She was a tall, well-formed young woman with a ruddy handsome face and long black hair. She will be buried

in the dress that was prepared for her wedding, said the old uncle sadly this morning as he looked down at the body as it lay on a table in the house.

Some of the neighbours who were spoken to said that they had heard some talk of Miss Henderson going to marry the young minister in question, but had never heard that he had paid any particular attention. The girl's uncle, however, was positive about his niece having been engaged. "If Teenie had lived", said Mr. Henderson, "she would have fallen heir to a fortune of about $20,000 when her aunt, Mrs. Fouldes, who lives on the beach, dies. Her aunt left all her property to her in her will". He admitted that the clergyman had never visited at the house a great deal.

Dr. McGregor was notified this morning and visited the house. He subsequently saw Mr. Crerar, the county crown attorney, and it is likely an inquest will be held. Constable Blain was left in charge of the body in the meantime. The father of the deceased is said to be living in this city and his name is McAlister, but the girl and her mother have lived with Alexander Henderson since she was born. The Hendersons formerly lived here also.

The clergyman to whom the girl's uncle said she was engaged was seen this afternoon by the "Spectator". He was shocked at the news of Miss Henderson's death, but smiled when he was told of the reported relation between her and him. "The report is absurdly false", he said. "I was pastor of Freeman's church for two years and during that time I was in Mr. Henderson's house only twice, once by invitation of Miss Henderson when I went there to tea with some other people, and the other time when I made a pastoral call.

I left there six years ago and since then I have seen Miss Henderson only once. That was quite recently when, in company with my wife, I attended a church dedication in the neighbourhood. Miss Henderson, seeing me after the ceremony, came up and shook hands with me. I always thought there was something wrong with the poor girl's mentality. She was not actually demented but was eccentric, and what the neighoburs call soft. I am afraid she used to be laughed at a good deal by her acquaintances. The story of my engagement to her is not new to me. I heard it after I left Burlington Plains circuit, but recently Miss Henderson ceased to use my name, and had been telling her friends that she was engaged to Dr.--- (mentioning a well known Hamilton physician).

WATSON - Between four and five o'clock yesterday afternoon, two neighbours went into Mrs. Watson's house, 86 Young street, and found her sitting in a chair with her head lying back against the wall. "Why, she has fainted", said one of the women. They laid her on the floor, placing a pillow under her head, and then it was that they discovered that the woman was dead. John Eustice was sent for by the women and he notified the police and Coroner Woolverton. The coroner decided that death resulted from heart disease and decided that an inquest was unnecessary.

Very little is known about Mrs. Watson by the neighbours. She had lived in the house, a little frame building, for about two years except for a short time when she lived in the east end. She was a hardworking, industrious woman, taking in washing, and lived alone in the house. She was about 60 years old. Yesterday she was around as usual, but later in the day she was ill. Mrs. Whulen and Mrs. Carey, two neighbours, both went to see her and did not consider that she was seriously ill. They were surprised when they afterward went in the house and found her dead.

The police were left in charge of the body. From several letters found in a box it was discovered that she had relatives in Buffalo. Chief McKinnon telegraphed to Rev. Mr. Green of Buffalo who

is supposed to be her brother. Documents were found which showed that the woman had been twice married in England. The clothing in the house was of good quality and it is thought that the woman had seen better days.

Rev. Mr. Wade said that if the relatives were not found he would attend to the funeral arrangements.

STERLING (Toronto) - Charles M. Sterling, manager of the Toronto branch of the New York Life Insurance Society, died on Saturday evening at Santa Barbara. The deceased was one of Toronto's most energetic young business men and was highly esteemed in business as well as social circles.

Mr. Sterling had an attack of typhoid fever during the summer and before his complete recovery from the effects of his illness, he was married to Miss Lottie Wark, but on account of increasing weakness, left for California, November 21. Ten days before his decease he entered the Santa Barbara hospital but as no improvement was apparent, his mother was telegraphed for and left on Thursday to join her son.

The New York Insurance Company with great forethought provided tickets for Mrs. Sterling's trip and wrote advising her to spare no expense for providing comforts for Mr. Sterling. They also expressed the hope that he would soon be sufficiently recovered to assume the management of one of their offices in a milder climate.

On Saturday week, Pepler was jumping in the school gymnasium. In lighting he struck the ground

obliquely on the end of his heel before the rest of the foot had come in contact, and the shock caused concussion of the brain, from the effects of which, after eight days' illness, death resulted.

LAND - Died on the 21st instant, Lieut-Col John Land in the 87th year of his age. Funeral from his late residence, Woodland Park, Wentworth street north, on Saturday, December 24, at 2 p.m. to St. Thomas Church.

Col. John Land died peacefully and painlessly last evening at the family homestead, Wentworth street north. By his death Hamilton loses a citizen whose life in the district went parallel with the whole history of Hamilton from the time when it was a nameless and struggling settlement, of a few huts.

Col. Land was the oldest son of the late Col. Robert Land and was born on November 11, 1806. As a child he was delicate and sickly though he early developed the traits so marked in his after life, determination and patience. At the age of thirteen he began to take his share of the farm work, holding a plough when he had to reach up to the handles. At fourteen he took charge of his team and from that time the care and management of the horses was left in his hands. He grew up tough and wiry rather than strong and was noted for his endurance which was severely tested in the exciting times of 1837-8 when as lieutenant of the cavalry under the late Col. Servos he took part in the expedition against Dr. Duncombe in Scotland Township which resulted disastrously for the doctor.

Lieut. Land was sent with dispatches from the front to Sir Allan MacNab and he delivered them without resting. After two hours' rest here he was sent on to Toronto, returning to sleep in his own bed the same night. When his troop was sent to Chippewa he was in command owing to the captain having been disabled, and was kept busy carrying dispatches, guarding trains, etc. till the rebels gave up and the troops sent home. In 1839 he married Esther, only child of the late John Morris, by whom he had eight children six of whom are still living. They are: John H., of this city, secretary of the Royal Templars; Capt. Peter M., of Nanaimo, B.C.; Mrs. David Lucas, of Trafalgar; Mrs. J. G. Y. Burkholder, of this city, who has been living with and caring for him since the marriage of his youngest daughter, Mrs. J. F. Webster, of this city; and Mrs. David Reid, of Brooklyn, N.Y. Of his three sisters and two brothers, only his youngest sister, Mrs. George K. Chisholm, of Oakville, survive him.

Colonel Land was of a retiring disposition, and though often pressed to be nominated for municipal and other offices, he steadfastly refused to accept any office but that of school trustee when section seven, now a part of the city, was set off from No 1. Needless to say he was, like his father and grandfather, in politics a Conservative and a firm supporter of N.P. and its author. He inherited from his father the old fashioned kind of honour that made his word as good as his bond and prevented him from seeing the difference between 'A sharp business trick' and actual robbery and between a 'diplomatic misrepresentation' and a lie. He had an utter contempt for one who could be guilty of a mean action, was a kind and firm friend, a generous and magnanimous enemy, had a firm, abiding faith in the future greatness of the country, eighty years of whose progress he had witnessed and helped, and was proud of his native city whose growth progressed before his eyes and to which he had contributed.

Six years ago he became blind from cataract. A successful operation by Dr. Osborne two years ago however restored his sight, the loss of which, though a heavy cross for a man of his active, energetic nature, was borne cheerfully as all his ills and illnesses had always been. His last illness he seemed to feel would end in death, for he sent for his solicitor and settled his affairs as soon as he took to his bed. Though painful in the extreme, taxing to its utmost tension his powers of endurance, it was borne with the utmost patience and his death was easy at the last. He was a member of St. Thomas Church and the funeral Saturday will be conducted by Rev. Canon Curran assisted by Rev. F. E. Howitt of Stony Creek.

There were two trains running on the track and after the G.T.R. rounded the curve, he drove on the rails, was struck by the K. & P. engine and terribly mutilated. Deceased was highly respected and worth $20,000 in real estate. He leaves a widow and two sons. Six lives have been lost in the same locality, but still there is neither flagman nor gate at the place. An inquest will be held.

TOWNSEND -Rest and surcease of sorrow and suffering came to John Townsend last night. He died shortly after 9 o'clock. His daughter Florence, Mrs. Allen of Toronto, who has been with him for several days, sat by the bedside of the old man and saw his life go out.

Mr. Townsend had been ailing for months and was confined to bed for five or six weeks. The immediate cause of death was cancer of the liver, complicated with kidney disease. He suffered intense pain and during his last sickness his most earnest wish was for death. His last days, however, were cheered by the kindly attentions of some of his old friends, particularly C. R. Smith, who cared for his wants with the forethought and gentleness of a loving son.

Mr. Townsend was ready to die and talked with calmness, even with cheerfulness, of his approaching end. Early yesterday morning when Mr. Smith visited him, the old man was repeating to himself softly, yet in a clear voice, the following beautiful lines:

Now the labourer's task is o'er.

Now the battle day is past.

Now upon the farthest shore

Lands the voyager at last.

Father, in thy gracious keeping

Leave me now, thy servant sleeping.

There the tears of earth are dried.

There its hidden things are clear.

There the work of life is tried

By a juster judge than here.

Father, in thy gracious keeping

Leave me now, thy servant sleeping.

When he finished, he looked up to his old friend and said with a smile, "This is my last day on earth. I am so glad". To the last Mr. Townsend manifested the studied, formal courtesy which always distinguished his manner and speech and which was in part, perhaps, the result of his long

theatrical career. Several days ago Rev. Canon Curran sat by his bedside conversing with him and read two or three consolatory prayers. After one of them the old actor pressed his hand to his heart with a theatrical gesture and said with perfect intonation and emphasis, "To that last sentence, my dear Canon, I can with all sincerity of soul echo 'Ah-men".

John Townsend was born in 1819 at Deptford, England. He was the only son of J. Townsend, auctioneer, of Greenwich, who was a kind and indulgent parent and took pleasure in supplying his son with the means to gratify his tastes during the period of youth. Young John was educated in Deptford and Fairford, in Gloucestershire. He early evinced a taste for amateur theatricals which speedily developed into a passion for the drama and it was only because he knew that it was contrary to his father's wishes that he did not adopt the stage as a profession in his boyhood. In 1842 when only 23 years old he tried his hand at theatrical management and for a year or two leased and successfully managed the Theatre Royal at Richmond, the theatre under the immediate patronage of the Duke of Cambridge.

Under his management some of the brightest theatrical stars in England appeared at the Theatre Royal. While thus congenially employed Mr. Townsend was known as Mr. Tamworth, he having adopted the fictitious name in deference to the prejudice of his father. Having had enough of managerial experience, he went to Greenwich and joined his father in the auctioneering business. He was now a man of family, having married Miss Sarah Mitchell, a lady eight years older then himself, and the daughter of a London barrister. Mr. Townsend had met her in amateur theatrical circles and had been charmed with her grace and ability as an amateur actress. Through all the vicissitudes of his chequered after life until her mind became darkened a few years ago, Mrs. Townsend proved a never-failing source of strength, comfort, and inspiration to her husband, and in the last days of his life, the old gentleman spoke of her with the tenderness of a lover.

Mr. Townsend's business as an auctioneer prospered and he became one of the foremost citizens of Greenwich. In 1857 he was selected by the Liberals as their parliamentary candidate for the borough and he was elected by a large majority over the third, his colleague being Lieut. Gen. Sir W. Cadrington, the Crimean hero. He took his seat in the House of Commons and was by no means a silent member of that great body.

His political creed at that time is set forth in the following summary in the parliamentary handbook for 1858: "John Townsend, Esq. An auctioneer. A Liberal but thoroughly independent of any party. Supports the ballot, extension of the suffrage, admission of Jews to parliament, and the abolition of church rates". Mr. Townsend's financial affairs, while sitting in parliament, became involved,, owing probably to his neglect of the business for his public duties, and he was obliged to seek relief in the bankruptcy court. A parliamentary commission was issued, he was adjudged a bankrupt, and was suspended from parliamentary duty for twelve months, the period being allowed him to pay off his creditors. With characteristic courage, Mr. Townsend went to work to raise the money necessary to retrieve his fallen fortunes.

He took to the stage. For a while he contented himself with, giving readings from Shakespeare, devoting an entire evening to the recitation of a single play. In this way he recited Richard III, the Merchant of Venice, Othello, Macbeth, and Hamlet, and won for himself considerable notoriety for dramatic recitation, for dramatic recitals were not much in vogue then and not much money. Then he went upon the stage in earnest, acting the star parts in a large repertoire of standard dramas. Until his twelve months' probation was ended he was advertised and mentioned in all criticisms at John Townsend, M.P., and was probably the only professional player who ever had a right to use that honourable appellation. He never again took his seat in the House of Commons, but he had the greatest satisfaction of paying his creditors twenty shillings in the pound for all he owed them.

But Mr. Townsend's career in England as an actor manager did not continue to prosper and he resolved to seek new fields across the Atlantic. In 1864 he came with his family to Canada and in a sense began life again, life under new conditions and with different surroundings. In those days the people of Canadian towns did not have much practical knowledge of the drama. The visits of regular Dramatic companies were rare luxuries and there were but few of the smaller towns that had places of amusement where a dramatic performance could be given. The Townsend family were pioneers of the drama in Ontario.

Many blase' theatre goers of the present generation owe to the Townsends their earliest impressions of the theatrical representations and recall with a feeling akin to tenderness and regret the great old days when passion on the stage was unrestrained and the indication of 'reserve force' was not deemed an essential of good acting, the dear old noisy nights of loud-tongued 'legimate' when Othello was indeed a barbarian, and Iago a villain who should be shot on sight, when there was no doubt about Hamlet's madness, or when Richard was really himself again. There might not have been scholary and original readings of disputed passages as now, but there was no lack of realism, and there was plenty of physical force. The sword combats between Richard and Richmond and between Macbeth and Macduff used to be worth the price of admission then.

After spanning some sixteen or seventeen years on the road with varying success, Mr. Townsend's growing infirmities compelled him to retire from the stage. The members of his family found engagements in other companies and he settled in Hamilton with his wife. He had not saved enough to maintain them in comfort and he eked out his income by taking pupils in elocution and acting.

An occasional public benefit also helped him along. Five or six years ago a great sorrow came to him. Mrs. Townsend's mind grew clouded and at last she lost her reason altogether. The old gentleman cared for her and watched her with tenderness and vigilance of a mother tending a sick child until the charge became so great that it was impossible for him to continue it, and it became

necessary to place her in the asylum for the insane. Mr. Townsend walked with her, hand in hand, up the long flight of stairs on the mountain side and resigned her to the charge of the asylum attendants. Occasionally when he could spare the money he would hire a cab, drive to the asylum, and bring his wife home to spend a day or two with him. These visits were the luxuries of his later days. They brightened his solitude, for he lived alone in his little house on West avenue after his wife left him. Four years ago she died and then he was indeed alone.

But in solitude and sorrow and hardship, brave old John Townsend did not pine at his fate. His was not that kind of soul. Like Ulysses he was a "Heroic heart/ Made weak by time and fate, but strong in will/ To strive, to seek, to find, and not to yield".

He believed that old age hath yet its honour and its toil. Many of the youth of Hamilton and elsewhere can attest to the patience, care, and intelligence of his work as an instructor in elocution. He trained several ambitious aspirants for the stage and the rapid progress which some of them have made is evidence of the value of his tuition. He was very fond of his pupils and always proud to hear of their success. In the progress of Miss Julia Arthur, his favourite pupil, he took especial delight and wi s never weary of praising her and predicting great things for her.

Mr. Townsend was a thorough gentleman in character as well as in manners. High-minded and chivalrous, tender hearted and free from guile, he was a man who left the world better for his having lived in it. As an actor he belonged to the old school, distinguished by robust force rather than refinement and subtlety, but he was by no means a mere ranter.

He was a Freemason of fifty years' standing and was in early manhood the master of St. George's Lodge, Greenwich.

Of his sons and daughters only three survive: Florence, Mrs. Allen of Toronto; Harry, who continues in the theatrical profession; and George who is at present living in Toronto.

The funeral will be a Masonic one, and will take place to-morrow afternoon from 184 East avenue north.

This afternoon the city editor of the Spectator received the following telegram from Fort Wayne, Indiana:

“Is there any truth that John Townsend is dying? H. Townsend.” Mr. Townsend was immediately notified of his father's death.

HYSON (Halifax) - Mahone Bay, 60 miles from this city, is horrified by a tragedy which occurred there last evening. The dreadful act was the result of a fight over a pack of cards after a tea meeting. A party of young men went into the house of Charles Zwicker to have a game, and

in looking for the pack, it was found the cards were gone. William Mader, who had been there, was suspected of taking them away. Dennis Hyson, son of Capt. Hyson of the Mahone Bay packet, with others followed Mader and soon overtook him on the roadside. Hyson sprang upon Mader and in a fierce struggle attempted to secure the cards. The men separated and then Mader challenged Hyson to 'come on'. The response was a kick from Hyson and then a second, when Hyson cried, "I am dying", fell on the road, and bled to death in three minutes. They carried the body into an adjoining house. Mader was arrested and a coroner's inquest is being held. It is supposed as Hyson kicked Mader the second time, the latter met the leg with a knife and severed an artery. Hyson was 31 and Mader 28 years old, both unmarried.

HURDMAN (Ottawa) - A sad accident occurred this afternoon at Sheppard & Morse's lumber yard by which Thomas Hurdman, a young man aged 21, son of George Hurdman, was instantly killed, and William Ascher, aged 16, was severely injured. The two young men were checking lumber in a box car for shipment to the United States when the shunting engine, through some mistake, struck the train of loaded box cars heavily, throwing the piled lumber on the young men by which young Hurdman was instantly killed. The box cars are filled with lumber at each end and the space at the doorway in the middle of the car is left with enough room for a man to load and unload the lumber. It was in this space the victims were standing when the lumber pitched forward. Both were badly mangled. The accident was soon discovered, and medical aid sent for to town. Dr. Robillard, coroner, drove out and was soon at the scene. Young Hurdman was past his assistance, but Ascher was still alive though unconscious. Last accounts say he may pull through.
