Judge Muir died at the residence of his son-in-law Ernest S. Ball, 115 Madison street, Toronto, yesterday afternoon. While his death is deeply regretted by all his friends, it had been expected for some time, as there was no hope of recovery from the disease he suffered from. He was taken ill about three years ago, shortly after which he was unable to perform his duties as judge. The past year he had lived with his married daughter in Toronto.

John Muir, M.A. B.A. LL.B. was born in Grimsby Lincoln county on June 12, 1843, his father being Andrew P. Muir, and his mother was a daughter of a U.E. Loyalist, Isaac Smith. Mr Muir’s father was born on April 12^th, 1803, and was one of the first white children born in the township of Grimsby. When he was a young man, there were troublesome times in Canada, and he was out during the rebellion of 1837, on the Loyalist side. He was afterwards a Captain in the militia.

The deceased was educated at St. Andrew’s parochial school, under the charge of Rev. F.J. Lundy, B.C. L. rector of Grimsby the grammar school, and finally at Toronto University, from which institution he graduated B.A. in 1865, taking his degree of M.A. the following year. He obtained LL.B. with a silver medal in 1873. In 1866 he entered upon a study of law in the office of Cameron & McMichael. He became a barrister in 1869 and practised in Grimsby for a short time. In 1871, he came to Hamilton, where he entered into partnership with John Crerar, Q.C.

Mr. Muir obtained a first-class certificate at the Military school in Toronto in 1865, and held the rank of Captain, besides being drill instructor.

Mr Muir remained in partnership with Mr. Crerar until June 1888, when he was appointed Junior Judge of Wentworth. As a member of the bar he was highly esteemed, and as a judge his decisions were fair and impartial. He was of a quiet and retiring disposition and loved his home. His wife died some years ago. This affliction was followed by the death of his only son, whom the deceased idolized.

Judge Muir was superannuated last year. Before his appointment as judge was a member of the executive committee, of the Conservative association. He was for years a prominent member of the Church of the Ascension.

The deceased leaves one daughter Mrs. Ball of Toronto

The body will arrive from Toronto on the afternoon train tomorrow and will be taken to the Church of the Ascension, where a service will be held. It is requested that the members of the bar attend the funeral.

WILLIAMSON (Toronto) Jan 16 - Inspector Greer, of the attorney-general’s department, is at Horning’s Mills, Melancthon township, investigating the mysterious death of Mrs. Margaret Ann Williamson, wife of John Williamson, a farmer of that vicinity. The woman did her usual work around the house, and partook of a hearty supper. Shortly afterward she was attacked with terrible pains, and died in great agony during the night. Coroner Norton, of Shelburne, was notified, and ordered a post-mortem examination, which was conducted by Doctors Gower, and Mason, who found that the woman had died from an irritant poison, probably arsenic. The intestines were sealed up and will be forwarded to Dr. Ellis, of this city for analysis.

All sorts of rumours are in circulation in the vicinity. Mrs. Williamson had never expressed any intention of taking her life, although her domestic relations are said to have been the reverse of happy. In fact, the couple were separated some time since, but finally agreed to live together again upon the distinct understanding if her husband again ill-treated her she would leave him, he agreeing to pay her a stated sum per month.

A quantity of paris green was found in the house, and it is conjectured this may have been a poison which caused her death. Pending the result of the analysis the inquest has been adjourned.

MARSHALL - “Dear Jack don’t think too hard of me in what I’m going to do. I am of no earthy use - only a burden to myself and others, so I will end this mortal career by taking a dose of strychnine, which I have had in contemplation for four years. What belong to me you take for your own use, and I thank you for the kindness you have shown me. You can show this to the rest of the family. There was no insanity about this affair. Your father, T.M.”

This note was put in as evidence at the inquest held before Coroner Philp at No. 3 police station last night to investigate into the death of Thomas Marshall, who committed suicide at the residence of his son, John Marshall, 55 Tom street, on Wednesday last. It was addressed to the son and was found after the old man’s death. It showed conclusively that the deceased committed suicide, and it was surprising that an inquest was held.

John Marshall, son of the deceased, swore that his father had not threatened to take his life. The deceased had not been in the best of health, being attended by Doctors Leslie and Storms, who suggested on Wednesday morning that he had better go to the hospital, where he would received skilled attendance. The witness swore that about 1:30 Wednesday afternoon he saw the deceased place a vial to his lips. He ran to him and asked him to spit it up, or to take some salt and water; but the deceased replied; “it’s no use, Jack; I have taken a dose before.” The witness ran to telephone for a doctor, but his father died before medical aid arrived. The witness said his father had a dread of becoming paralysed. The strychnine had been kept in the house for years.

Evidence was also given by Doctors Leslie and Storms and Mrs. Marshall. No autopsy was made.

Although only four witnesses were examined, it was about 11 o’clock before the inquest was over. When the verdict was being considered, one of the jury men wanted a clause incorporated recommended that the government provide a lawyer and a stenographer at all inquests, but the coroner told the juryman that he could write to the government and make such a suggestion. The verdict was that the deceased came to his death by his own hand, and that the members of the family and the physicians had not been guilty of any inattention.

McKENZIE (Windsor) Jan 29 - Suicide, and not murder, seems to be the generally accepted verdict in the case of Roderick McKenzie. Chief Willis inclines to the theory of suicide, because, so far as he can learn, McKenzie’s money had run out. It is known that pressure was being used to collect some indebtness from him. The police say that if they could obtain a clue to the persons who spent Wednesday evening with him some light might be thrown on the affair.

Dr. Sanderson, who conducted the post mortem, has declared himself as convinced that the old man’s death was not due to apoplexy that a drug was used by him to end his life is the general belief. The gradual loss of his means and the fact that he had lately given away articles of apparel and other things to friends, coupled with the belief that McKenzie realized he had not sufficient means to carry out his cherished wish to revisit his fatherland before his death, are all circumstances that tend to confirm the theory of self destruction.

PARROTT - On Thursday Feb. 9^th, 1899, Bridget Parrott, aged 61 years, wife of Benjamin F. Parrott. Funeral notice later.

Shortly after five o’clock last night, Benjamin F. Parrott, a carter, went to his father’s home, 44 Steven street, and made a brutal attack on his aged mother with an axe. Her head was split open and she died from the effects of her wounds in the city hospital this morning. Parrott was caught shortly after he committed the deed, and is now lodged in the Barton street jail.

Parrott was on the main street carter’s stand yesterday afternoon until about 4:30, when he drove home. What happened immediately after he got there will probably never be known, as there was nobody but the unfortunate woman in the house at the time. It is supposed that the mother and son

had some words, and that Parrott, on going to the back door, found it locked. He picked up an axe which was handy and commenced to smash in the door. Mrs. Parrott became frightened and ran out of the front door. Her screams attracted the attention of Walter Jackson, who was returning home from his work. He looked around just as Mrs. Parrott emerged from the front door, and before he had time to realize what was the matter, the son came out of the side entrance with an axe in his hand. When Mrs. Parrott reached the edge of the sidewalk she slipped and fell and was in the act of rising when the axe was brought down heavily on her head.

The blow was followed by two others, and then Parrott, calming, looked for an instant at his victim, walked into the back yard, where he left the axe and, going out through a lot to Nightingale street, hurried from the scene of the awful tragedy.

About ten minutes after the crime was committed, Dr. Cockburn was visiting a patient in the east end, and being informed of the sad affair drove to the scene. He got there just before the police, and found the unfortunate woman lying on the side of the road, her head resting in a pool of blood. He examined the wounds, and saw at once that it was a hopeless case, that it was only a matter of a few hours until she would die.

Benjamin F. Parrott, the murderer, is 32 years of age. He was always of an eccentric turn. His dislike to his mother made him take up his quarters in the barn in the back of the house, with his horse. There he fixed up a sort of room and lived in a contented way. He cooked his own meals and lived high. He was not content with ordinary fare and would be satisfied with nothing less than turkey, duck, chicken and such food. It is said he did not know the taste of bread, and was not known to drink tea or coffee; while water as a drink, was almost unknown to him.

RAMSAY (Gananoque, Ont.) Feb 13 - Part of the George Gillies Bolt factory was destroyed and part of the main bolt shop damaged by fire this evening at 6:30. It is impossible to estimate the damage at present, though it will possibly exceed $15,000, the damage to stock, machinery etc. included. W. Ramsay, a machinist employed in the factory entered the shop to secure his tools, and was suffocated by the smoke. Inquiries after him showed he had not been seen since leaving the shop, and one of the firemen, W. Potter, entered in search for him. The smoke was so dense that Potter was driven back. On the stairs he stumbled over the body of Ramsay. Potter carried Ramsay out with difficulty, being nearly suffocated himself. Three doctors worked over Ramsay without success, life being already extinct. His family are heartbroken with grief, he being the only son and eldest child.

WILLIAMSON (Toronto) Feb 14 - Prof. Ellis, the Provincial analyst has completed his examination in the case of Mrs. Elizabeth Williamson, of Melancthon, who died several weeks ago, and who was thought by many to have been poisoned. The result of Prof. Ellis analysis is to show arsenic in the

stomach in sufficient quantity to have caused death. The inquest in the case will therefore be resumed next Monday, and inspector Greer will go to the scene to investigate the matter for the Crown authorities.

It is known that at the time of Mrs. William’s death there was a quantity of paris green in the house and this fact maybe advanced in support of the theory of suicide.

The circumstances attending Mrs. Williamson’s death were peculiar. She was the wife of John Williamson, a farmer at Horning’s Mills, and on the day of her death did her work as usual about the place, going into the house and partaking of her supper as usual at about seven o’clock. An hour or so afterwards she complained of feeling unwell, and became worse as the night passed on, until about two o’clock in the morning, when her husband went for a doctor. When he returned with the physician he found his wife already dead.

The home life of the couple, it is alleged, was unhappy and this fact, together with the curious manner of Mrs. Williamson’s death caused so much comment as to lead to an investigation. The stomach of deceased was sent to Toronto for analysis with the result given above and the inquest was adjourned pending the result of Prof. Ellis examination.

For three years young Weston had been a friend of the family of Mrs. Judson Wright, a well-known and respected resident of Windsor. He became engaged to the young lady about eighteen months ago. He had been a great sufferer from locomotor ataxia, and had been unable to retain situations any length of time. He had been boarding in Detroit for the past few months and during this time talked very despondently. Recently he attempted to press his engagement with Miss Wright, but the later was unwilling to be married.

This afternoon Weston called at the Wright home and entered the parlour without knocking. When Mrs. Wright and her daughter came together to see who their visitor was they found him seated on a sofa facing the door. As they entered he exclaimed “I have come here to have you witness this act”, and pulling a revolver from his overcoat pocket, deliberately unbuttoned his vest and placing the muzzle over his heart, fired. The first shot did not kill, he fired a second immediately afterwards which pierced the heart.

The women fled screaming from the room. The police and coroner were at once notified, but the latter not deeming an inquest necessary, the body was removed to O’Dell’s undertaking establishment where it now lies waiting instructions from Wilkinson Weston, of Sarnia, the suicide’s father.

Miss Wright is a handsome brunette of 22, and is known as one of the belles of the county.

The case evidently was one of deliberate suicide. In the pocket of the dead woman was found a note addressed “257 King street west”, and containing the expression “forgive me Dad”. At the address named lives William H. Harper, grocer, and brother-in-law of the deceased. The woman’s father died years ago, and the note presumably is intended for the brother-in-law who, however, refuses to speak. Miss Byers lived with her mother at 261 King st. west, where the latter keeps a boarding house. Despondency caused by ill health is the alleged motive of the suicide.

The occupants of the larger boat evidently did not notice the smaller one for they also changed their course and headed for shore.

BLAKE (Springfield, Ohio) March 2 - A story around which many a novelist might leave a web of wondering and of wrong, of a woman forsaken and forlorn, and a child deserted, and forsworn, was revealed at the city hospital in Cincinnati last evening. On Dec 15 last, John Blake was brought to the institution from the Salvation Army lodging house on Canal street, suffering from a minor affliction. He lingered along undergoing several operations, and on Monday night died. The nature of his disease was not sufficient to make death probable, and a post-mortem examination was decided upon.

Yesterday afternoon a woman, worn and wasted, yet still retaining traces of youthful beauty, called at the hospital with a little girl and gave her name as Mary Blake. The child, eight years of age, she said, was her daughter, and she had seen the announcement of John Blake’s death in the papers, and believed him to have been her husband. Nine years ago she had married a man by that name whose home was in Hamilton, Canada, the place the dead man had given as his residence to the hospital authorities. His age, 37, as entered also agreed with that of her husband, and she requested that she be allowed to see the body. This was readily granted, and she was taken to the dead-room. As she gazed for a moment on the stark, upturned face, her fragile form shook like an aspen leaf. Turning away she hid her face in her hands, and, amid convulsive sobs, pronounced over and over again the name of the dead. He had, indeed, been her husband, but soon after the birth of their child he had deserted her, leaving no word of explanation. The cruel years came and went: the child grew from dimpled babyhood to graceful girlhood but still he was as silent as the tomb. Blake’s remains will probably be sent to Hamilton for burial.

He came to this country when a young man and resided the greater part of his life in Hamilton, and had for some time charge of the wholesale grocery department of Kerr, Brown, & McKenzie. On the dissolution of that firm he was appointed an official assignee and with an interval at London, where he had the financial management of the wholesale establishment of D.

McENTEE - James and Edward McEntee arrived home from Oswego last night. They identified the frozen body found in the Oswego harbour as that of John McEntee, who was drowned last fall. The head and body were so badly swollen that it was impossible to recognize the features, but Mr. McEntee identified the clothing and also some tattoo marks on the arm. The remains were interred yesterday morning at Oswego.

An inquest was opened before an Oswego coroner, but Mr. McEntee did not wait to hear the result. After viewing the remains the jury ordered that a post-mortem be held and then adjourned, to meet again on Friday night.

Mr. McEntee, the father of the man who was drowned, is not at all satisfied that the drowning was accidental. He does not see why the man would take off his outer clothing if he was drunk or laying down to sleep, especially as the weather was very cold about the time McEntee was drowned. He is of the opinion that his son was either murdered and thrown into the water, or else got into a fight and was shoved in.

David Baird, flagman on the T.H. and B Railway met with an awful death early Saturday evening. Baird watched the crossing at the corner of Catharine and Hunter streets, and went to his post as usual, at 6 o’clock Saturday night. A little over an hour afterwards, his mangled form was found lying at the side of the railway track, just east of Catherine street. The deceased, who was

about 55 years old, had been employed as flagman for T.H. and B. for a little over a year. It had been his custom every evening to watch for the 7 o’clock freight and take the lunch baskets from the conductor and brakeman who live near the crossing. It is supposed that he stepped onto the north track for this purpose and did not notice the yard engine backing down the track eastward. The tender of the engine struck him and dragged his body to where it was found a few minutes after the freight and yard engine had passed. The deceased, David Baird, was born in Monaghan county, Monaghan, Ireland 55 years ago. He was educated for the ministry under the tutorship of Rev. John Blakely, but owing to a defect in his speech had to give up the idea of following this calling. Twelve years ago he moved to this city, where he has lived ever since. For a number of years he was a sewer contractor until he got the possession of flagman on the T.H. and B. Railway. While residing in Ireland he was prominently connected with the Red Cross Order of Orangemen, but was never affiliated with the order here. A widow and ten children are left to mourn his loss.

David Louis Custman was, a few days ago, a vigorous man of twenty-one, today he is a corpse, dead from a cause that has baffled medical skill and experience.

Suddenly on Monday morning, Custman nose began to bleed. He consulted Dr. A.R. Pyne.

The customary remedies were applied without effect. The bleeding continued. Dr. Pyne paid frequent visits to his patient, but instead of his condition improving it became worse and worse.

Yesterday morning at the end of the his skill, Dr. Pyne, called in Dr. James Bray. They were perplexed. The continuous bleeding was unaccountable.

A sudden change for the worse took place. The blood oozed from every pore of the unfortunate patient’s body.

About three hours before the spirit fled, Custman, because of weakness, became unconscious

and remained so till death.

The immediate cause of Custman’s death was suffocation. The doctors think a blood vessel burst and clogged the circulation. Another supposition is that a clot of blood gathered on the brain. But a definite adequate solution was not forthcoming.

WELCH (Amherstburg, Ont.) March 26 - Lizzie Welch, a sixteen-year-old-girl is lying cold in death at the home of her aunt Mrs. Eli Moro, and there’s every indication, says the physician who attended, that her death was due to poison by strychnine.

The supposition is that Lizzie committed suicide.

During the past couple of weeks the girl had attained considerable unenviable notoriety by having Henry Burneski, a Jew pedlar from Windsor arrested for assault. Burneski was sent up for trial by police magistrate McGee, of Amherstburg. At the assizes in Sandwich last week the case was dismissed by the judge on the evidence of Dr. Hobley, who testified that there was not the slightest indication that she had even been molested.

The girl returned to town on Thursday and on Friday was quite ill, suffering from severe vomiting spells. These increased on Saturday and in the afternoon she was seized with convulsions. Her condition became critical and a doctor was called, who administered a quieting potion. She remains unconscious until this morning when she died.

Her friends ridiculed the idea of suicide and claim that her death was due to the treatment she alleged at the hands of Burneski. They are clamouring for an investigation.

accident occurred at the Courtland crossing of the Airline railway. An east-bound fast express on the Wabash struck and killed Jas. F. Cohoe, and his wife. They were driving into the village in a covered buggy during a blinding snow storm, and as a large pile of wood on the roadside obstructed their view they did not notice the approaching train, and as they reached the track the train bore down upon them. Mr. Cohoe was thrown about 20 feet, and Mrs. Cohoe about 40 feet. The buggy was completely demolished, but the horse was not injured. The train was pulled up quickly and a crowd gathered immediately and the victims were carried into a neighbouring house and Dr. Bennett of this town summoned.

WELCH (Amherstburg, Ont.) March 27 - Amherstburg people are beginning to regard the death of Lizzie Welch as a grave mystery. This morning the coroner decided to hold an inquest, and under his instructions Dr. Teeter made a post-mortem examination of the body. As a result of this examination the Jew pedlar, Burneski, of Windsor, stands doubly acquitted of the girl’s charge against him, and Dr. Hobley’s evidence of the trial of that case is verified in every detail. The girl’s organs were found to be in normal condition, without the slightest sign of ever having being disturbed in any way whatever. The brain was normal and healthy.

The case now resolves itself into either suicide of murder. The former idea is not strongly supported. The girl always had an inordinate fear of death, and her bearing during the progress of the recent case was not such as would impress one that a sense of shame weighed very heavily upon her. It is just as hard to find who would have sufficient cause to get rid of her, as to resort to murder. The mystery may never be solved. (Some detail left out. Ed.)

The coroner’s jury will meet tomorrow afternoon at 2 o’clock to hear the result of the post-mortem and examine the witnesses.

In view of this, the jury rendered a verdict that deceased came to her death by poison administered by some person or persons unknown, and recommended that the stomach and other organs be subjected to a chemical analysis.

“We find that Archibald McCoy came to his death on March 25, 1899, due to the neglect of the G.T.R. company in not having enough employees to keep the switches clear in such a stormy night; and we also feel that the section foreman was greatly to blame in keeping McCoy at work when he knew that the train was due; and we recommend that the whistles and bells be sounded at these crossings.”

It had been said repeatedly that the matricide would plead guilty, as he was not disposed to expend any money in defending himself, with sundry talk of a similar nature, but from his conduct yesterday afternoon, a change had apparently come over the young prisoner, for when asked; “Are you guilty or not guilty”? He promptly answered in a strong clear voice, “Not guilty”.

J.J. McLaren, Q.C. the crown prosecutor asked his lordship to proceed with the case this morning, as he was prepared with his witnesses.

George S. Lynch-Staunton informed the chief justice that he had been retained and was not prepared with the defence. He asked that the trial be taken up on Thursday.

Mr. McLaren objected to so long a delay.

“I will fix the case for Wednesday morning at 9 o’clock”, said Chief Justice Armour.

“Make it Wednesday afternoon my lord” asked Mr. Staunton.

“I will take up so important a case in the afternoon and keep the jurors here all night” replied his lordship.

After a few more observations from the learned council, the chief justice said with emphasis

“Wednesday morning at 9 o’clock”, and so it was decreed.

Parrott looked in excellent health and was as cheerful as ever. He was brought from the jail to the court house and taken back in a cab, in company with Jailor Ogilvie, and Sheriff’s officer

Stewart. Parrott nodded to several of his old friends in the crowd, and cracked a joke with one or two of them.

Years ago he went mining in California and came back a wealthy man.

A few years ago the deceased came prominently before Hamilton citizens through the efforts of a party of slick Yankees to unload on him a gold brick or two. The deceased was too shrewd to bite however and the fakirs had all their trouble for nothing.

The deceased leaves a widow. The funeral will take place next Sunday afternoon at 2:30 to the new cemetery, Grimsby.

Some weeks ago, Charles Crickmore, the twelve-year-old and only son of Mrs. Mary Crickmore, 31 Steven street was taken ill with appendicitis. He was a sturdy little chap and it was thought his chances of recovery were good. Complications set in however, and after two operations both of which he manfully submitted to, as he said, for mother’s sake, the little fellow passed away. The physicians did not think the last operation would be successful and doubted if the lad would live through it. His reply to their doubts was “go on.

WHITTON (London England) April 23^rd - On Thursday, a grave was dug too short at the Macclesfield cemetery, and the mourners had to wait in the rain for three hours until it was lengthened. The funeral was that of a colossal fat man, who died suddenly while on exhibition in the town at a public house.

The coffin, which measured three feet six inches wide, by six feet ten inches long was so large that the window and a large portion of the front of the house had to be removed in order to get the corpse outside. No funeral hearse could be found sufficiently large to take the coffin and a tradesman’s lorry was requisitioned, a jack being used to lower the corpse into the grave.

The deceased, Leo Whitton, was aged forty two and weighed 41 stone. He was a native of Canada, having come here from near Belleville, Ont. and had been in Macclesfield only a few days.

The funeral was watched by a large concourse of people, who were kept back from the grave by the police.

It was found impossible to place the coffin in the grave, which was too little, and the relatives gave instructions for it to be returned home after it had been lowered no fewer than four times.

Owing, however, to its enormous weight, it could not be lifted onto the lorry. Hence the mourners had to wait around while additional grave-digging operations were carried out.

COULLIARD (Huntsville) April 23 - From all accounts there is apt to be serious trouble in store for parties involved in the death of an infant girl here last week, which a coroner’s jury has determined was caused by “want of attention and wilful neglect”

The wife of J.T.A. Coulliard, a barber, gave birth to twins last December, one of whom died after 23 days. The other, a girl expired on April 13. The medical man in attendance refused to give a burial certificate, and an inquest followed. From the evidence it appeared that the child was normal when born, but through lack of nourishment and proper care died as stated. Sores on the body were attributed to neglect and Drs. Hart, and Howland, who conducted a post-mortem stated in their report that the heart was natural, except from its anaemic condition, and that death was caused, in their opinion, by a long continued hypostatic congestion of the posterior of the lungs, which must have produced by the child being kept too long in one position and not having taken suitable nourishment.

The mother of the infant, in her evidence, said she was not very strong. She had two other children to look after and she did the best she could.

WEBBER (Peterboro) April 29 - An awful double tragedy was enacted here this afternoon, which has shocked the entire community. John Webber, a man about sixty years of age, who was employed as engineer at the water works pumping station shot and killed his wife and then, turning the revolver on himself with a single ball in the right temple, ended his own existence.

The awful tragedy occurred about 2 o’clock and as far as can be learned was witnessed by no one. The Webber family were just moving into the house, 814 Water street, where the tragedy occurred and the children were absent at the time. One of the daughters left the house at 11:30 and nothing was noticed at that time. However, the shooting must have taken place very shortly afterwards.

The son, Lloyd Webber, a youth of about 16 or so, states that he had not left the house more than ten minutes and was over near the adjacent corner when he heard the shots. He ran back to the house and saw his mother lying dead just near the shed at the rear. He ran to give the alarm. He did not know of the suicide at that time. There was, he states, nothing whatever wrong at the house when he left it. The side of the house faces south. It is composed of a main part, a kitchen, and an open shed, also facing south.

Mrs. Webber’s body lay just at the entrance to the shed. The body of Webber lay in the back room in the main part of the house, the kitchen intervening between him and the spot here his wife’s body lay. He also was dead when the neighbours entered, and was laying flat on his back with his head towards the door. The instrument of death, an ordinary revolver, lay between his legs, as if he had dropped it when he fell backwards. A small stream of blood issued from the bullet hole in the temple just above and back of the eye. This was the only mark on him, and showed that he had taken deadly aim and died instantly. There was blood on his hands, and a few drops of it on the floor beside him.

He had evidently entered the house and shot himself deliberately after committing the murder.

John Webber was a native of the town, about 60 years of age, and was respected as an industrious, honest man. He was a carpenter by trade, and since 1882 had been employed as one of the engineers at the water works pumping station. Some years ago he had a serious illness, which

left him with bad effects, noticeably a moroseness at times. Last summer he had another illness, and again after this showed signs of not being himself, although serious was feared.

A double funeral to be held tomorrow will end the shocking tragedy.

SNELL ( Parry Sound, Ont.) May 1 - On Friday evening last, the body of a man was found floating in the water near Rose Point. From a paper in the clothing, it proves to be that of Thomas Snell, who was supposed to have dropped off the railway bridge near the spot last November. The body was in a good state of preservation and the features recognisable.

An inquest is now being held by Coroner Stone. The post-mortem examination made by doctors Walton and Appelbe, indicates that the man was not drowned, but that death was caused by a blow on the side of the head, inflicted by a pointed instrument, as a hole was found over the right ear, penetrating to the base of the brain. It might have been inflicted with a piece of wood with a nail driven through it.

Snell was a railway fireman, and was in the company of two others, whose whereabouts are unknown. The night of his disappearance they had all been drinking. His wages had not been drawn from the railway company, and nothing pointed to anything but accidental drowning. The relatives of deceased live in Brockville. The inquest was adjourned this afternoon for other evidence.

MOSIER, SHAW (Kingston, Ont.) May 1 - Last Thursday evening as Manly Cross, keeper of Jack’s Straw and the lower lighthouse, St. Lawrence river, was going to light up he found a punt floating near the lower light, containing a man’s coat and hat, a woman’s coat and a child’s boot, and some provisions, a pipe and matches. Next morning Mr. Cross went to Gananoque to make inquiries and found that two men named Mosier, and Shaw, with their wives had been camping on the foot of Grindstone Island, and that on Thursday, Shaw and Mrs. Mosier had started for Gananoque but failed to return. The punt was identified as belonging to them. On Sunday the body of Mrs. Mosier was found off the head of Ash Island, near Ivy Lea. Undertaker Webster was notified, and he went down and took the remains to Lansdowne. Nothing has as yet been heard of Shaw and in all probability he is also drowned. Mrs. Mosier was a daughter of Richard Seymour, who lives near Ivy Lea.

ICE (Cornwall, Ont.) May 1 - Jake Ice, a St. Regis lawyer, was shot and instantly killed at St. Regis by a Dominion police officer this morning; two other redskins were badly wounded and four chiefs

carried off into captivity. The cause of the trouble dates away back several years, and was primarily the objection of the St. Regis band to submit to the Indian Act and allow an election of Chiefs to be held.

On March 27^th, 1899, when Inspector Hogan, and policeman Chamberlain, of the Dominion police, were sent down from Ottawa by Lieut. Col. Sherwood to assist Indian Agent Long in holding an election, they met with savage treatment at the hands of the redmen who snatched away a revolver and literally bounced them out of the vicinity of the polling booth. Agent Long was kept all day a prisoner in the booth, and not released until after the police had returned to Cornwall. Then followed several deputations from the election and anti-election factions to the Indian department at Ottawa.

Everything seemed to have quieted down till this morning, when, according to the Indians who came from St. Regis today, a squad of five or six Dominion police arrived at St. Regis on the tug Beaver of Cornwall, which was charted for the purpose. They at once arrested Chiefs Jake Fire, Peter Fire, Joe Thomson, and Angus Bourbonne, who were charged with being leaders of the riot on March 22^nd, and of assaulting officers in the execution of their duty.

The news that the officers were again on the reservation, and making arrests spread like wildfire, and the police had hardly got their prisoners into Mr. Long’s office when the place was surrounded by a mob of wildly excited red men, when in forcible and threatening language demanded that the chiefs be at once released, and that the strange officers leave the reserve.

They forced their way inside the building despite the threatening muzzles of the policemen’s revolvers and attempted to release the prisoners. It is believed that the officers were finally compelled to open fire in self defence.

Ice was shot through the breast and died immediately. Another red named Jake Sunday was shot through the cheek. The police fearing further trouble, handcuffed the prisoners and with revolvers in their hands marched down to the wharf and were in a few minutes steaming down the lake on the Beaver.

John Ice, who was killed, had been a bad character for some time. He had been in Cornwall jail more than once and a year or so ago was accused of attempting to kill his wife with an axe. He was looked upon as a disorderly and dangerous character.

The situation may be regarded as grave, there are about 1,000 red men on the Canada reservation and anything in the line of trouble will receive a helping hand of bad Indians and agitators.

Peter White, the well-known Indian lacrosse player, said it was Louis Thomas and not Peter Fire, who was arrested. He says that Thomson and Bourbonne, arrested on St. Regis Island, were prisoners on the Beaver when the fight took place at St. Regis village on the mainland. The Indian who was wounded in the face was clubbed with the butt of a policeman’s revolver. White, who is an intelligent and educated Indian, said that the reds got what they deserved. However, he thinks there will be a hot time in store for the next visitor to St. Regis who is suspected of being a policeman.

MURRAY (Whitby) May 23 - Edward Elliott, a youth of sixteen, was tonight found guilty of the murder of William Murray, a retired farmer of advanced age, at Beaverton, on Nov. 12^th last, and was sentenced by Justice MacMahon to be hanged on Aug. 17. The prisoner is small for his age, with a face of the criminal type. He evidently does not realize his dreadful position, and heard the sentence with unmoved continence. His parents, who were in court, burst into loud weeping when the sentence was imposed.

The trial began in the morning and occupied until 10 o’clock tonight. About 22 witnesses were examined for the crown, while for the defence the father, mother and brother of the accused gave evidence with a view to showing that young Elliott could not have committed the murder.

Amid a profoundly silent court at dusk, with one solitary lamp in the room, Justice MacMahon began his charge to the jury, which was a most impressive deliverance. Calm and judicial was his demeanor, and it was hard to realize that a human life was at stake. The jury then retired and after about an hour returned with a verdict of “guilty”. Before pronouncing sentence, the judge spoke to the prisoner of the awfulness of the crime of which he had been found guilty, of the necessity of punishing crime, and, holding out no hope of escape from the consequence of his deed, urged him to prepare to meet his coming doom. The judge continued; “the sentence of the court is that you be taken from the place whence you came, and on the 17^th day of August next you be hanged by the neck until you are dead, may the lord have mercy upon your soul”.

Almost immediately after he had spoken, the young man’s head fell forward on his breast, and before Mr. Secord could reach him, Galbraith was dead indeed.

Deceased, who was 24 years of age, had been subject to heart trouble, and was warned by his doctor not to over exert himself. He had not heeded the warning, however, and had taken a long bicycle ride on the 24^th. This with his ride to Secord’s house is supposed to have hastened the end.

Dr. Maw, of Middleport called on the sick woman during the afternoon and the last seen of the little brothers was when they followed the Doctor down to the gate.

An hour later, a neighbour discovered the body of the elder child floating face downwards in the river, which runs close by the house. It was then discovered that both children had been playing on the river bank and had slipped in and been drowned. The elder is supposed to have reached for his brother and to have fallen in face downward, thus accounting for the body not sinking.

The body of the younger boy was raised this morning.

CUILILIERIER (North Bay) May 29 - A double drowning accident occurred in the French river in which two brothers named Cuillilierier of Massey were the victims.

Ellis, agent for McLeod & McCormack of Markstay and went across the lake on the tug Empress, the agent accompanying the men to the camp. The trip up the French river had to be made in canoes, and when the agent got through with his business at the camp he employed the Cuillilierier’s brothers to take him back to the tug in a bark canoe. All went well until they came to a strong current at the foot of a chute, and in attempting to cross this the men were precipitated into the chilling waters. One of the Cuililierier’s immediately disappeared, while the other and Ellis clung to the canoe and bravely battled for life for about half-an-hour, when becoming exhausted, the second Cuililierier also sank into a watery grave. Ellis still clung to the canoe, and was rescued about a mile and a half further downstream by River Driver W. Nixon in an almost exhausted condition.

JEWETT (Newmarket, Ont.) June 1 - Mrs. S. Jewett, of West Toronto Junction, has been in bad health for a length of time and, with her three children, has been visiting with her brother, Bert Starr, living near Pine Orchard, about five miles east of Newmarket. Thursday morning the sister, Miss Starr, went to the cellar to attend to her ordinary duties and left Mrs. Jewett washing her baby. When Miss Starr came out of the cellar, she went into the wood shed and was horrified to find the body of the child, which was about 6 months old, lying with its head crushed in. The blow had evidently been given by the axe, which lay near by. Miss Starr immediately ran to her brother in the barn, and found that Mrs. Jewett had sent the other two children to the barn to hunt eggs, saying that she would soon follow them. Search was then made for the mother, but it was not until noon that her body was found under a bridge over a small creek, behind the barn. She had drowned herself in a few inches of water. Temporary insanity is supposed to be the cause of the tragedy. Coroner Scott of this town has received instructions to hold an inquest on the body of the child tomorrow.

Mrs. Jewett was the daughter of the late James Starr, of Pine Orchard. She had been married about twelve years, and was Mr. Jewett’s second wife. She had three children all girls, the eldest being five years old. Ever since the birth of the youngest child, Mrs. Jewett has been very melancholy. She was known to sit for hours and gaze intently into the child’s face. Mrs. Jewett had a servant girl to whom she was very much attached, and after the young woman left her employ, she appeared to take it very much to heart. A few weeks ago, Mr. Jewett sent his wife and children to her mother’s farm to recuperate her health. He paid her a visit on the Queen’s birthday and thought she had very much improved in health.

Mrs. Jewett’s family are Quakers, and are one of the wealthiest in the district. The dead woman attended the Davenport Road Methodist church regularly with her husband. The family lived at 77 Charles street, Toronto Junction. Mr. Jewitt is the principal of Carlton street school, Toronto Junction.

THOMAS - A terrible runaway accident occurred on the Waterdown road, about a quarter of a mile west of the Valley Inn, early this morning, by which Mrs. James Thomas, whose home was near Lowville in Nelson township, was killed almost instantly, and Mrs. Roberts, of the eleventh concession East Flamboro, was very seriously injured and is now lying in the city hospital.

Mrs. Thomas, who was 72 years of age, was with her son, John, a middle-aged man and they were driving to market in a heavy wagon with a load of apples. The time was about 5 o’clock, when quite a number of farmers were coming to market. In a light rig, some distance ahead, were Mrs. Robert, who is about 57 or 58 years of age, and her son James.

As John Thomas approached the railway bridge crossing the Grand Trunk railway a short distance west of the Valley Inn, he noticed a freight going Toronto-wards, and he kept watch over his horses, which were skittish. While attending to the freight, he did not notice the newspaper train coming from the west, and as it rushed beneath, it frightened the horses which bolted. The sudden bound threw out Mrs. Thomas, who was hurled with great force on the side of the road.

Continuing on their mad rush down the road the horses missed James Mitchell’s wagon, which was the second in the procession of rigs, and ran the big lumber wagon into the Robert’s light rig, which was smashed to pieces. One of the horses in the Thomas wagon was killed, and Mrs. Roberts was thrown violently into the road.

Up the road, George Cudmore helped John Thomas to attend to Mrs. Thomas and she was carried to the Valley Inn. It was seen she was terribly injured. She was unable so speak when picked up and she died in a few minutes. Willing hands assisted the Roberts down the road. Mrs. Roberts was taken to the Valley Inn where Dr. Metherell later attended to her injuries. He found that her left elbow was fractured and she was badly bruised about the upper part of the body. She was placed in Mr. Mitchell’s and brought to the city. The party met the ambulance a short distance from the patrol station and the injured woman was conveyed in it to the hospital.

Later Coroner Philp went out to the scene of the accident to investigate and found that no inquest was necessary. On examining Mrs. Thomas he found that she was terribly injured. Both

her legs, one of her shoulders, and most of the ribs on the left side were broken. The last, in Dr. Philp’s opinion, was sufficient to cause death.

The body was taken home later in the day by a Burlington undertaker. Mrs. Thomas was a widow, and she leaves, besides the son, John, a daughter Jemima.

SCOTT (Tillsonburg, Ont.) June 2 - A little boy aged three years, son of William Scott, one mile north of Tillsonburg, was drowned in the cistern this afternoon.

She sprang in and managed to lift him out, but was unable to climb out herself, the water being up to her shoulders. There was no one near the house but a gentleman driving by heard her cries and ran to the rescue, and succeeded in getting Mrs. Scott out. When they picked the child up, life was extinct.

LAWRY - Accidentally killed on Beach road, June 5^th, Willie, only and beloved child of Simon and Emma Lawry, aged 14 years. Funeral private, Thursday at 3 p.m.

Yesterday’s thunderstorm carried death and destruction in its wake. In many parts of the city trees were blown down, and other damage done, but the damage in the country was even worse than that in the city, one fatality resulting on the Beach Road, just east of ex-mayor George E.

Tuckett’s farm, the victim was Willie Lawry, only son of Simon Lawry, furniture dealer, 21 King William street. The lad was fourteen years of age, and had not been in good health for many months. Early yesterday afternoon he rented a wheel at Brigger & Baldwin’s store to ride to the Beach. The first wheel he took out got punctured and he returned and got another. His trip to the Beach was on business and pleasure, he taking with him a “lot to let” sign to put on a cottage. The lad got to the Beach alright and after a short rest, started for home about 3:30 o’clock. He passed Fitches’s hotel shortly before four o’clock, and just about that time the storm began to blow up. When he was just east of Tuckett’s farm the storm came on, and the boy leaving the wheel at the side of the road, took shelter under a big oak tree, which stood a few yards back from the road in a field of wheat. Just how or at what time the accident happened will probably never be known, as nobody saw it. About 4:30 as Alex Murray, the well-known bicycle rider, and J.H. Clappison, 444 Mary street north, were wheeling towards the city, after waiting at Fitches until the storm had spent its fury, they saw a wheel standing against the fence, and not seeing an owner near got of their wheels to investigate. The next thing they discovered was the body of a boy lying beside the oak tree. The young men rode to the jockey club from where they telephoned to the police, and Constable Cruickshank and Driver Anderson, went down in the old patrol wagon and conveyed the lifeless form to the city morgue. The cause of death was very apparent. The boy must have been standing very close to the tree, and the lightning struck it and travelling down the trunk switched off to the lad’s body. The bark was stripped off the tree and a large branch was broken off. There was a red mark on the boy’s face where the lightning had struck. This mark continued downward to the chest, where it divided, going down both legs and clearly showing the course taken by the electric fluid. One heel was badly burned, and the right shoe was almost torn the foot.

It was not long after the body was placed in the morgue before it was identified as that of young Lawry and his parents were at once notified.

The news of the fatality was an awful blow to the parents, as Willie was an only son.

He was a very quiet and lovable boy.

The body remained in the morgue overnight and was removed to Pray, Robinson & Peterson’s establishment this morning to be prepared for burial. The funeral will take place Thursday afternoon at 3 o’clock.

When the news of the accident reached the city the boy’s father was working in the east end of the city, and a young man drove down and acquainted him with the sad information. It was a terrible shock to him. The mother was much affected.

Higham and Albert Smith boarded at the residence of A. Lentz at the corner of Wilson and Tisdale streets. On the afternoon of December 28^th they went skating on the bay and were last seen by Mr. Lentz heading in the direction of the beach. When they did not return home that night, it was thought that they were drowned, and it was afterwards rumoured that they had been seen together in Buffalo.

An effort was made at the time to locate Higham’s body but it proved futile, no trace of it being found until this morning, when some Beach residents noticed it floating near the shore. County Constable Hazell was notified, but after securing the body he telephoned the local police. Undertaker Dodsworth was notified and drove to the Beach and brought the remains back to be prepared for burial. The young man’s parents live at 4 Henry street, his father being a painter.

Russell jumped in to save him and came near drowning when William, seeing the state of affairs, leaped in, and in obedience to Russell’s command, “save Allan! save Allan!” with difficulty carried senseless form to shore, and by the time he had accomplished the feat, brave Russell had sunk for the last time.

CARLTON (Toronto) June 8 - Alexander Carlton, 205 Oak street, died at the general hospital at 2 o’clock this morning, from blood poisoning. His case was a remarkable one, for although as already stated, blood poisoning caused death, his sudden end can be directly traced to a slight cut from a blade of grass.

Mr. Carlton went fishing early last week in Ashbridge’s bay, and during the afternoon, as he was bothered with a toothache, he picked a blade of coarse marsh grass, and began to pick his inflamed gums with it. While he was doing this, the end of the grass got down his throat, and inflicted a slight scratch. Mr. Carlton did not notice the pain at the time, and when he went home in the evening he had forgotten the little incident.

In a day or so, however, he was conscious of a pain in his throat. This increased alarmingly in a few hours, and a doctor was summoned. The trouble was diagnosed as erysipelas, and the patient was later on removed to the general hospital. It was then found that blood poisoning had set in, and for two days the doctor’s struggled to save his life, but their efforts were brought to a close by the death of the patient early this morning.

WESLEN (Chatham, Ont.) June 7 - John Weslen met his death in yesterday’s storm near Blenheim. On the farm of Joseph Lethwaite, a barn was being raised. When the heavy wind and thunderstorm came on, the men working on the barn sought shelter in a small berry building about a hundred yards from the barn. While running to the berry building the wind lifted a section of the roof off, and it came smashing down on Weslen, killing him instantly, breaking his neck and shoulders. Sherman Griffin had a providential escape from death. He was running in company with Weslen, when he remembered he had left his coat in the barn. His thoughtfulness saved his life, as a moment afterwards, Weslen was crushed to death beneath the wreck of the roof.

EBACH (Toronto) June 8 - The Dawn was the scene last night of the first drowning accident of the season. Frank Ebach, a thirteen-year-old-lad was the victim. Just above the bridge at Winchester street, some east-end lads were enjoying a bath, and Ebach and his friends decided to join him. In a short time, Ebach joined in the game of handball that was in progress amongst the bathers.

The last time the ball was thrown to Ebach, it went over his head, and in reaching back for it he stepped into a hole and sank from view. His companions waited for him to come to the surface again, but he did not appear.

Many friends of Samuel John Stratton, of the Bell Telephone co. will regret to learn of his death, which occurred at an early hour this morning. As a boy, the deceased entered the employ of the Montreal Telegraph company, 28 years ago, starting as a messenger. From that position he rose to be

check boy, and afterwards an operator with the same company. His health not being good, he resigned his position, and travelled for a short time. On returning to the city, the nervous disease with which he was troubled prevented him from following the calling of an operator, and he accepted as clerk in the telegraph office. After eight years service with this company he resigned, and accepted the position of secretary to Manager H.C. Baker of the Ontario Department of the Bell Telephone company nineteen years ago. From that position he worked his way up until he became chief clerk in the Ontario department, which position he held at the time of his death.

In politics, Mr. Stratton was a Liberal, but was not tied down to either party. At the time a new party was formed a few years ago, he was its secretary.

He was also connected with the Masonic order, and a member of Centenary church.

The deceased was a son of Robert Stratton, a local letter carrier, and was in his 40^th year.

He had been ailing for several years, but up till about two weeks ago was able to attend to business. His heart has always given considerable trouble, but the immediate cause of death was dropsy.

HARVIE (Galt, Ont.) June 8 - A shocking accident occurred this afternoon on the farm of Campbell Scott, about three miles from here. Walpole Boy, a Clydesdale stallion, owned by Andrew Harvie, Beverly, became vicious and attacked his groom, Alexander Harvie, a nephew of the owner, knocking him down, biting him, and otherwise injuring him.

Mr. Harvie Sr. went out to catch him, and the horse made for him, knocking him down, but jumped over him without injuring him. A mare coming into the barn yard next attracted the mad animal’s attention, and he made off towards her, but was caught at the gate.

Mr. Harvie took charge of the horse while the other men took the injured young man up to the house and sent for a doctor. Though only a few minutes elapsed before their return, they were horrified at seeing the stallion running around the barn yard with the old gentleman in his mouth, perfectly naked, his clothes being strewn about the yard. Mr. Scott picked up a stone and hit the horse on the head, which caused him to drop his now lifeless owner. A decoy was used to entice the

horse towards the barn where he immediately began to batter down the door, and would soon have been in among the other horses, had not Mr. Scott obtained a rifle and killed him. Mr. Harvie is terribly mutilated, his neck, ribs, arm, and legs broken, neck and shoulder bitten, and bruised from head to foot.

The deceased had been a resident of Beverly for 55 years. He was in his seventy-third year and leaves a widow and one son. The nephew was badly injured but not dangerously. Walpole Boy was a Canadian bred Clydesdale horse, and his late owner had had him about three years. He was never looked on as a vicious animal.

There was no inquiry and no inquest, and at the present time the friends of the deceased do not know whether the drug was taken with suicidal intent or merely to induce sleep. In fact it was not until the body was interred that even Prices friend’s discovered anything about the man whom they had known for some time.

Price came to Hagersville some time ago, and was employed at Wilson’s hotel. He was a quiet sort of man, an Englishman, and not given to talking about his affairs. Some days previous to his death, he intimated that he intended to go to Brantford and his trunks were left at the station baggage room. Not until after he was buried were these trunks thought of, and when their contents examined, it was found that deceased was a native of Nottingham, England, and that he had a sister there to whom he was in the habit of sending money. It was also found that he had a savings bank account with a small amount therein to his credit. From papers in his trunks, it is also believed that Price was a member of the Sons of England society, of Hamilton, having united with the Beamsville lodge.

Deceased was a man of about 25 years of age, well educated and a splendid musician. It is believed by Price’s friends that he had been drinking and took the laudanum to induce sleep, and not with any suicidal intent.

Deceased walked up Carlton street from the east about 7 o’clock, and on reaching Sherbourne street, halted to let some cyclist pass. Thinking that the way was clear, she stepped over the curbing and attempted to cross the street. No sooner had she put her foot to the pavement when suddenly she was struck by a woman on a bicycle. The force threw her to the ground on her side. The woman on the wheel did not look to see what she had done, but quickly got away. Pedestrians picked up the

unfortunate woman, and after a few minutes she seemed to recover.

The ambulance was summoned, and she was removed to St. Michael’s hospital. There it was found that her left hip was hurt, and several bruises on her body. Mrs. Smith was able to talk and told how the accident occurred. She was sure it was a lady bicyclist who ran her down and that the rider did not take any notice of what had occurred.

BAYLEY (Toronto) June 21 - Samuel Bayley, an eighteen-year-old-lad, employed in Barchard & company’s box factory, at 124 Duke street, met a shocking death last evening while at his work. Bailey was engaged in removing sawdust from underneath the saws, and it was while he was thus employed that he lost his life. The firm for the past several weeks has been working overtime in order to meet the demands of the trade. Last night the employees returned to the shop again about 7 o’clock, among whom was Bayley.

Work was resumed but only a few minutes, when George Bayley, a brother of deceased who is employed in the same factory, and who was working on the next floor, heard a scream and hurried down to the flat below. There he found his brother lying underneath a saw with blood flowing from a large cut in his head.

Doctors were called, and on their arrival they did what they could for the unfortunate lad. Thinking that he would not live anytime, they ordered his removal to his home.

Bayley was unconscious when he was taken home, and it was thought better to have him removed to the general hospital. On his arrival there, he was in a semi-conscious condition and was rapidly sinking. He lingered until 9:30 when death ended his suffering.

It is thought that Bayley, at the time, was underneath the saw, removing the sawdust, which was his usual occupation. In order to do this he would have to put his head into an opening of the box which incased the circular saw and remove the sawdust with his hands. He was doing this when, not thinking that the saw was running, or perhaps forgetting his danger, he reached his head up and came in contact with the rapidly revolving saw.

His head was cut completely in two, down as far as his ears, severing the skull and crushing the brain. Deceased was born in London, Eng. and had resided in Toronto for the past 14 years. He was the youngest of nine sons.

ADAMS, HAAS, HOWE (Rat Portage) June 20 - The worst mine disaster that has yet occurred in this district happened at Black Sturgeon Mine on Island Lake, ten miles east of here, last night. As the result of the accident, which was very similar to the one at the War Eagle Mine at Rossland about

a month ago, three men are dead and the forth is seriously injured.

The names of the dead are: Charles Adams, of Nova Scotia; Charles Haas, Sudbury, John Howe, Rat Portage.

The injured man is Charles Anderson of Rat Portage.

The particulars of the catastrophe, is far as can be learned are as follows: At 7 o’clock last evening the night shift was going to work and the foreman above named had taken their places standing on the edge of the bucket to be lowered away by the hoisting apparatus. Without warning the bucket began its rapid decent of the shaft, which is perpendicular for 70 feet, and then slants to the bottom a distance of 175 feet. When the bucket with the four men reached the incline it was going at a terrific rate, and its human freight was hurled from their places.

The three men killed fell to the bottom of the shaft, but Anderson was more fortunate. It appears the engineer in charge got control of the hoist when the bucket was down 130 feet, and Anderson in his descent of the incline grabbed the cable and slid into the bucket, thus saving his life. The bucket was at once hauled to the surface and Anderson was taken out. As soon as possible a party was sent to the bottom of the shaft and there they found Haas dead, and Howe, and Adams dying. The last two named lived two and three hours respectively after being brought to the surface.

Engineer McMullen, who was in charge of the hoisting apparatus, lost control of the machinery, thus causing the accident. He has been for some time employed by the Black Sturgeon company, and has always been considered a very careful man.

HELM (Toronto) June 21 - After school was dismissed yesterday afternoon Tommy Helm, of Chester, and several of his school mates went down to swim in the Don. They chose a spot some distance above the Winchester street bridge and went in. Tommy could not swim, but some of his companions tried hard to teach him. The boys helped him until Tommy suggested that he be allowed to go without aid. In endeavouring to find a place where his feet would touch bottom easily, he got into a hole and sank from view. His companions became alarmed and ran for help. One communicated the facts to the city police of Wilton avenue station, but the city authorities could not institute a search, because the scene of the drowning was in the county. Last night about 8 o’clock, Archibald Reid, of this city, made several attempts to recover the body and was successful in the end.

The drowned lad is the eight-year-old-son of Robert Helm, Ellerbeck street, Chester.

He lived about three miles from the village and was a prosperous farmer. A widow and family survive.

June 25 - Last evening Arthur Wigle, aged 24, youngest son of Philip Wigle, farmer, living on the third concession of Gosfield township, was drowned while bathing in Cedar creek. Deceased and his two companions, Robert Drake, and Mr. Moore, were all good swimmers, but without a word after diving, deceased made a slight struggle and sank, apparently being seized with cramps or heart failure.

He was to have been married in one month to a prominent young lady of the township.

Deceased, who was in her eighty-fourth year, retired about 10 o’clock and death must have resulted shortly after, as the aged lady was found lying only partly disrobed. The cause of death was a paralytic stroke. Deceased was the mother of eighteen children, fifteen of whom are living. She was born near Toronto and was a resident of that city for a number of years.

REEVES (Galt, Ont.) June 28 - Harry Reeves, of Ayr, died this afternoon from injuries received in a small quarrel which occurred about one month ago, and which the participants have since keenly regretted. Reeves, Wm. Gemmell and George Guthrie were doing statute labour in a gravel pit near Ayr, when Guthrie made remarks which resulted in a dispute that was ended by Gemmell’s hitting Reeves on the head with a stone, rendering him unconscious. He had since lingered between life and death and passed away this afternoon.

Coroner Vardon, of Galt, was immediately telegraphed for and left for Ayr this evening. All three young men are well known and respectable fellows, and the two survivors have done all in their power to atone for the deed committed.

No June 30^th available.
