Sherritt, of Brantford. According to Russell, Sherritt was killed while carrying him to a place of safety. The letter says in part, “the bullets were dropping within six inches of us, and the incessant ping! soon became quite familiar. I can tell you that when the bullets began to fly around you it makes a fellow king of queer. I kept cool, and fired about 200 shots. I think I dropped one Boer, but I am not sure. My horse played out just as the battle started, and Corp. Sherritt put me on his horse and we started off. The horse threw both of us, and just as we reached the rest of the troop Sherritt was killed. It was Sherritt that saved my life.”

REID - There is now every reason to believe that William S. Reid, the Hamilton man whose body was found in a small stream near Marshville, Ontario, last Thursday, was not drowned, as was at first supposed, but was murdered and thrown into the water.

When the body was found, it was badly decomposed, and it was difficult to discover any injuries or bruises. When a post mortem examination was made Friday, injuries sufficient to cause death were discovered. There was evidence that the deceased had been struck a severe blow over the groin and another between the eyes, the nose bone being broken. But something more conclusive than any of the injuries was found. No water was found in the lungs when the post mortem examination was made, and the doctors, in giving their evidence at the inquest held by Coroner Hopkins, said they were convinced that the body was lifeless when it entered the water.

This morning, acting Chief Prentice made some inquiries about the case, and is satisfied that Reid was murdered and that robbery was the motive for the crime.

I must content myself with giving you some impressions made upon me during the seven years in which I was his pupil. .... I need not tell you of his power to read the human heart, and of his noble faculty of encouraging in the best in his pupils. Queen’s is a monument as his power as an administrator. ...... the fact that Queen’s will go on without him will be the surest proof that his work was well done. ..... When Canada’s history is written, as it ought to be, it will be found that among her greatest formative forces in the nineteenth century, George Monro Grant holds a foremost place.”

MONTURE (Waterford, Ont.) May 19 - On Saturday evening last, the shocking fatality occurred on the fourth concession of the Indian Reservation, which resulted in the death under very distressing circumstances of Mrs. Eliza Monture. About seven o’clock, wild shrieks were heard to proceed from her home, by the husband and a couple of friends, who stood conversing on the road in front of the house. As the woman had for ten days previously shown unmistakable signs of mental derangement at times becoming violent, little attention was paid to her cries at first. Flashes of light appearing at the window, and the cries becoming more agonizing, the men went to the door and finding it locked burst it open. The unfortunate women was found to be enveloped in flames, rushing madly about in a vain endeavour to get out, while her aged father-in-law was trying to put out the fire by throwing water over her. The men, with difficulty, succeeded in extinguishing the flames, but until the victim was so badly burned that after a night of terrible agony she died next morning about ten o’clock. The old gentleman explained that Mrs. Monture had being lying down, resting quietly when she suddenly rose seized a lighted lamp, smashed it, and purposely threw the contents all over herself with the evident design of taking her own life. Her insanity is said to have been induced by the sufferings endured throughout the past winter when herself and four children were often without food or fuel.

REID (Marshville) May 19 (Special) - The inquest on the case of W.S. Reid, of Hamilton, held before Coroner Hopkins, at Marshville, was finally closed last Saturday afternoon. Detective Griffin of Fort Erie had charge of the case, and was there with witnesses, who covered in evidence every move of the deceased from the time he left Hamilton on April 22 last, until his body was found floating in the Welland canal feeder, on May 8, sixteen days afterwards.

In a small rubber matchbox, the deceased had carefully placed a clipping from the Spectator, giving a report of his mother’s funeral, when she was borne to her grave by her four sons, and four sons-in-law. This he seemed to have cherished, as it was placed in a small inside pocket of his vest, and was only thing in that place.

Several witnesses gave evidence as to the deceased’s strange conduct, reference to which was made in the Spectator. He hung around the bridge near the feeder for some time, and looked into the water, and seemed to be examining as to the distance down to the water. He would change his position and go to another place on the bridge, and again looked down into the water, but finally crossed the bridge and walked along the road that lies beside the stream, but he went in an opposite direction to Dunnville and was seen to travel about a mile, and then disappeared from view. The bank is uneven in that place that interrupted the view of those watching him. That was the last seen of him alive, and it is certain he did not go far from there, as there were people working in the fields around and they would have seen him. On the afternoon of May 8, a tug passed and shortly after his body was found where he disappeared floating in the water.

The jurymen returned the following verdict; “We find that the body on the unknown is the body of William Smith Reid, of Hamilton, and the cause of his death is to us is unknown.”

The first witness examined was Edward McGovern. In company with Patrick Mulvale, and Patrick Wickham, he was one his way home last Friday morning about 4:00 o’clock, when he saw Pulkingham’s body on the track at the Ferguson avenue crossing. He notified the police and the body was removed to the morgue.

Patrick Mulvale, and Patrick Wickham corroborated the story told by the former witnesses.

John Lush was engineer and James Muller, fireman on the passenger train which arrived here from Niagara Falls shortly after 1:00 o’clock last Friday morning. They did not notice anything on the track, but thought that it would possible to run over a man without knowing it. Friday night was particularly dark and foggy.

Mrs. Almeda Belanger, sister of the deceased, said he had been under Doctor Storm to care for about six weeks. His system was greatly run down and he was a poor eater and sleeper. Since his mother’s death, about three months ago, he had been very despondent, and had very little to say to any person. He appeared to be broken-hearted. Frequently he got up and wandered about the house. She never heard him threaten to take his life. On the night preceding the accident, he retired about 11:45 after eating a hearty meal.

LAMBERT (Colburne, Ontario) - Isaac Lambert is under arrest here charged with murdering his wife. He was apprehended upon evidence furnished by Government Inspector Greer, of Toronto, who has been in the vicinity for the past week working on the case. Lambert lived with his wife and three children at Hilton, in Northumberland County about twelve miles from here. His wife died some time ago under circumstances that led the neighbours to believe that she had been foully dealt with. The Provincial authorities were communicated with, and Detective Greer was sent her to investigate the case.

The body was exhumed and an autopsy held. The stomach was sent to Toronto and analysis of the contents showed that death resulted from paris green poisoning.

Up to this time, it had been impossible to learn anything from the children, but when the cause of the death had been made known they were induced to tell what they knew. According to their statements, their mother was the victim of their father’s brutality. The eldest child states that the day previous to her mother’s death, the father quarrelled with his wife, and threatened to kill her. A relative was present at the time, and, according to the child’s statement, this man pried opened with a knife her mother’s mouth, while her father poured paris green down her throat.

The agonized cries of the unfortunate woman attracted the attention of passers-by, and they ran to the house but were not allowed admittance, as the door had been securely barred.

A sufficient quantity of the poison to cause death was poured down the woman’s throat and of course her agony indescribable, as was shown by the face of the victim when exhumed for the autopsy.

The prisoner refuses to give any accurate account of the deed and maintains a stolid indifference.

It is said that, at the time the murder was committed, the unfortunate woman had but few rags for clothing, and there was not a morsel of food in the house for her family of three little children.

CALLARD, CLARK, KERR, SEE, RUSSELL (Toronto, July 10 ) - Five fireman were killed this morning as the result of one of the most disastrous fires in the history of Toronto. More men, not firemen, may have been killed, but it will be impossible to tell this until the debris has been removed. The fire was in the McIntosh warehouse, at the corner of Front and George streets, which occupied half the block, and stretched clear through to the Esplanade. The fire broke a few minutes before 6:o’clock. Twenty minutes later the walls of the building collapsed. Two of the men were killed near the south west corner, and three at the south east corner.

When the walls collapsed, a number of firemen stood on ladders against the south wall, but everyone thus situated miraculously escaped. Chief Thompson says that at least two of the deaths were due to disobedience of orders. A general alarm was sent in a few minutes before the collapse occurred. The dead firemen are: Walter O. Callard, assistant foreman, Ross avenue hall; Harry Clark, No 5 section, Lombard street hall, Adam Kerr, No. 5 section, Lombard street hall, David See, No. five section Lombard street Hall; Frederick G. Russell, No. 3 section, Yonge street hall. Collard and Clark were married. Clark leaves three or four children.

It was at first feared that seven men had met death, but after a roll call of the sections of the brigade who were fighting the fire, Chief Thompson said that the five named above were all the dead.

The premises destroyed were the huge storage and grain cleaning warehouse of D. McIntosh & Son, on Front street. The building, which was formerly a street railway car barn, was over 444 feet long, by 63 feet wide, and the walls were about 30 feet high with a flat roof. The fire broke out at 6:15, and as the building stores in the building were inflammable, it burned with great rapidity. The various sections of the brigade were scattered, and many men were on ladders and on the roof when signs of collapse were seen. Chief Thompson ordered those on the ground close under the walls to go back, and two of those killed were caught by the falling wall because they did not at once respond to the chief’s orders. At 6:40 the walls of the building, released from the support of the roof trusses, gave way in all directions. Dozens of firemen were on ladders all around the building and they fell with the walls, but the only men buried beneath the debris were firemen attending to hose lines and hydrants on the ground who did not get warning in time to save themselves.

The financial loss will be very great, but so many interests are involved that no definite statement is yet available.

GOODMAN - Granny Goodman, the subject of many a dull day newspaper writeup, and the woman whose successfully dodged the great issue of the human race - death - for 110 long years, has passed over at last. A few months ago, her only surviving son, Dave, himself an old man, as men are counted aged ordinarily, succumbed quickly to an attack of pneumonia.

One by one, the old lady has seen death claim her thirteen other children until only Abe was left. He was her only son, which meant much more, especially to a mother who had seen child after child, tie after tie taken and severed, until but one remained. And so Granny loved Abe her boy, and Abe in his way loved Granny. And thus it was that when Abe was taken, Granny, who was then an inmate of the House of Refuge, gave up her desire to live longer and longed for the day to come, “please God quickly”, when she too might be freed the bondage of her weakened, wrinkled, old house of flesh.

The end came last night and today Granny Goodman is a free spirit in the world beyond. There was nothing the matter with her, so the doctors say. No organic derangement or functional weakness. She just took to her bed when she heard that Abe was gone and slowly faded away.

According to the best authority to be obtained, Charlotte or Granny Goodman was born in Norfolk, England, in the year 1793. It is impossible to find the day or date. She came to Canada in 1837 and has lived in Hamilton ever since that time. In those days there was but one grocery store situated at the corner of King and MacNab streets, and it was known as the Checkered Grocery store. There were rail fences and closing what is at present the market square, and all west of that was forest inhabited by wild beasts and Indians. There were no steamboats, no railroads, no stagecoaches even; all teaming was done with oxen, and horses were used for distance travelling only.

Mrs. Goodman’s husband was in the old days of the city a chimney sweep. He died many years ago. A few years ago, Rev. W.F. Wilson took an interest in Mrs. Goodman, and through his instrumentality, she joined Wesley Methodist church. Her last years were peaceful and happy. She was, until a few years ago, able to carry on a bright and interesting conversation having a good memory and excellent hearing and the best eyesight, not having to use glasses. She was free to confess that she was tired of living, and would be glad to die as soon as possible. It is more than likely Granny will have an imposing funeral, as she was so well known in the city, and had so many friends who were anxious for her comfort during her later years.

MacNAUGHTON (Port Hope) July 16 - Joseph William MacNaughton, of Peterboro, died in a buggy this morning at Henry Goheen’s gate, Hope township, on his way home after being cured by Christian Science.

RICE (Toronto) July 18 - Fred Lee Rice, murderer of County Constable William Boyd, was hanged here this morning.

The storm suddenly coming up, Hickson drove his team under a tree nearby for shelter, and he had only been there a few moments when the fatal flash occurred. It appears that the lightning struck his watch chain, which was exposed and fastened to his suspenders, and holding the watch which he carried in a front pocket of his trousers. The time piece was shattered by the lightning. Except that appears to be a slight burn on the back of the head, there were no marks or injuries made upon the body of the unfortunate man.

KEARNS, MACGREGOR, HART, BRECKSTEAD (Chesterville, Ont.) July 18 - (Fatalities: Mrs John Q. Kearns, age 33; Edward Kearns, age 7; Miss MacGregor, age 35; Mrs. Nelson Hart, age 23; William Breckstead. Ed.) Yesterday evening, a storm of great severity passed over this territory accompanied by a cyclone which exceeded in fury anything of its kind in the memory of the oldest inhabitants. About 6:00 o’clock in the afternoon, the citizens of Chesterville were alarmed by the appearance of the sky to the northwest of the village, while incessant electric discharges lit up the twilight. Large cloudy masses were roiling and scudding before the wind. It was evident that a fearful storm was raging in the immediate vicinity. Nearing here, the tornado took a southeasterly direction, and passed within a mile of the town. Those who were watching felt distinctly, the hot blast from the cyclone, as it swept with fearful velocity to the south east. The wind monster twisted, tore and destroyed everything in its path, for a space of 50 or 60 rods in width, while everything in a radius of a mile was more or less affected.

The storm struck the township of Winchester in what is known as the Ormond settlement in the northwest corner and travelled in a south easterly direction across the townships of Winchester, Finch, and Osnabruck. This morning, the country miles around presents a scene of devastation. Fences have disappeared, dwellings and out buildings, were over turned, and in some cases torn to pieces. Dead cattle are lying here and there at almost every farm in the centers of the storms path, and dead, maimed, and bruised human beings are added to the horror of the scene.

At the farm of John Kearns, seventh concession, township of Winchester, portions of the barn are lying about the premises, and of the dwelling not a vestige can be found. The father was found lying in the clover field with a broken hip and otherwise terribly bruised, and near him lay his little son, seven years old, quite dead. The corpse of the unfortunate mother evidently picked up with the house, was found against the fence. The two other children were found in the field with broken limbs and terribly bruised, but still living.

A fine hardwood bush, the property of J. Coyne, adjoining the Kearns property, presented an unique appearance. Maples, elms, and oaks were torn from there roots, twisted, broken, and splintered. Many instances of narrow escapes are being reported.

A Miss McGregor is reported killed, and James Wilson was seriously injured at Ormond.

COWAN (Windsor, Ont.) July 21 - Walter Cowan, aged 79, father of M.K. Cowan, member of the Dominion Parliament for North Essex, died suddenly at his home in Leamington on Saturday evening. Mr. Cowan was a member of the Essex city council and the Leamington council for twelve years. Besides his widow, he is survived by two sons and a daughter.

STONEHAM - Wm. Stoneham, an aged inmate of the house of refuge, died at that institution on Saturday of heart disease. The deceased was 80 years of age, and at one time was a well-known plasterer in the city. He will be buried from Blatchford’s undertaking rooms.

WHALLEY (Toronto) July 21 - George Whalley was found dead in the basement of Evans & Sons, wholesale druggist, 23 Front street west, yesterday afternoon. It is not two months ago that a clerk at the establishment, Edward Geen, was found dead there, and singularly enough Whalley was the man who discovered the body.

Whalley is survived by a widow, five sons, and two daughters. He was 55 years old.

He told his family that he intended going to Toronto Junction on Saturday afternoon. Yesterday, as he had not got back home, his sons George and Harry went to the Junction and found that their father had not been there. They then went to the Evans warehouse, arriving there about 2:30 p.m. Looking in the basement window, they saw their father’s body lying face downwards between two packing cases. They summoned Acting Patrol Sgt. Reburn, who was on duty at the wharf and he notified Coroner Young. An entrance was effected at the back door and it was found that the only mark upon the dead man was a wound on the nose which might have been caused by the fall.

Coroner Young has called for an inquest to open at 4:00 o’clock this afternoon. The jury will adjourn and proceed to the Evans building the vicinity of the death. The case is to be thoroughly investigated.

An unaccountable circumstance of the case is that Whalley received his pay on Saturday but no money was found about the body when it was searched except a .25 cent piece and a few odd cents.

Whalley was employed as a shipper at Evans & Son, and it was in the shipping room in the rear of the basement where the body was found. He had been in the employ of the firm for four years.

There is a very general belief in police circles that the mysterious death of George Whalley, in Evans & Sons warehouse, was caused by men desirous of hiding a conspiracy that has been in progress for some time. Whalley was found dead in the basement of the warehouse in which he was a shipper, yesterday afternoon, and the condition of the body is said to point to violence. The police are looking now very closely for the men engaged in the burglary of the warehouse on May 20. On that night, the watchman surprised two men in the act of blowing open the safe, and afterwards it was found that they had materials prepared to set fire to the place to hide their mischief. Eight days later Edward Geen, a young man and a South African veteran, whose home was at Belleville, and who was employed by Evans & Sons as a shipper, was found dying in the basement. His money was missing. Eight days later, again fire broke out in he basemen of the same warehouse and spontaneous combustion was the only cause that could be ascribed to it. The assertion is now made that the burglars on that occasion must have been men quite well acquainted with the warehouse and its contents, and that the deaths of Whalley and Geen will be traced to the mysterious burglars.

GILMOUR - The announcement of the sudden death of W.A. Gilmour on Monday afternoon came as a sad and terrible shock to the citizens of Vancouver. Indeed, so unexpected was the news that when first rumoured it was regarded as incredible, many absolutely refusing to believe it as only that morning Mr. Gilmour had been seen going to his office at his accustomed hour. Few, even of the most intimate friends of the deceased, knew that he had been feeling indisposed for the past or six or seven days, that only his indomitable willpower and termination had enabled him to continue attending to his numerous professional engagements, and not even to intimate friends did he acknowledge that he was not enjoying his accustomed health. Only when too late to avert the fatal termination of his illness did Mr. Gilmour acquaint his friends and his medical adviser of his condition. A serious attack of convulsions had, however, seized the patient, although neither the doctors, his nurse, nor his grief stricken and devoted wife left the bed chamber, their untiring efforts proved unavailing, and early in the afternoon Vancouver’s much respected citizen passed to his rest.

The sad incident caused a general feeling of the most profound sorrow and sympathy for and with the young and so suddenly bereft widow, who had hardly more than doffed the bridal veil, having been married but little more than a month ago at her home in Hamilton, Ontario.

GOODMAN - Hundreds of citizens turned out yesterday afternoon, despite the unpleasant weather to pay a last tribute to Granny Goodman. The funeral took place from the residence of her grandson, Henry Smith, Wentworth street north, to Wesley church, and thence to the cemetery, where the mortal remains of Hamilton’s resident were laid at rest. The funeral procession was not unusually large but the church was well filled and a large number of people gathered about the grave to witness the last rights.

The pallbearers were all grandsons and great grandsons of deceased. They were; William, Henry, George, George A. and Alfred Smith and Walter A. Garrity.

HOLT (Dunnville) - William Holt, of the firm of Holt & Kitchen, carpet manufacturers, formerly of Paris, but who has been a resident of Dunnville for the past five years, died at the Farmer’s hotel, on Monday July 7^th.

CHARTER (Niagara Falls, Ont.) July 21 - The remains of Lucille Charter of Greenville, Ohio, were buried from Morse & Sons undertaking establishment at Niagara Falls South this morning at 10:00 o’clock, interment taking place in the Drummond Hill cemetery. In this simple announcement, there is nothing to arouse more than average curiosity. But Lucille Charter gave Niagara Falls a mystery that will never be solved. On June 23, 1902, the body of a young woman was found in a room at the Parkside Inn on the Canadian side. On the bureau in the room was an empty bottle, which had contained morphine, indicating that it was by this means that the dead woman had come to her end. It was immediately supposed that she had committed suicide, but it has since been learned that she was addicted to the use of morphine, and there are many who believe she died as a result of an overdose of the drug.

For almost a year the remains were unidentified. The body was taken to the Morse establishment where such care was taken in its embalming that it afterwards became petrified and has since served to attract many people to the undertaking rooms.

Some months ago, relatives of Lucille Charter, who was in life a professional nurse, and whose home was at Greenville, entered into correspondence with Mr. Morse, as a result of which it was practically determined was the body was that of the Greenville girl. Saturday last, Mrs. Jones of Greenville, a sister of Lucille Charter, arrived at Niagara Falls and immediately identified the remains. This morning, a private funeral was held from the undertaking rooms, and the remains consigned to their last resting in Drummond Hill cemetery. Rev. Mr. Findlay of the Presbyterian officiated. The body was in a perfect state of preservation.

He is survived by his widow and two brothers, George Kennedy, of Huttonville, and William Kennedy of Hamilton.

FEENEY (Toronto) July 23 - A child dead in a baby carriage, and its mother drunk on the floor, was the discovery made by P.C. Chapman, of the morality department when he visited a home at 54 Sydenham street, about noon yesterday. The husband has been in jail for the past week.

The child, whose name was Catharine was about six months old. About four o’clock yesterday morning, the woman rushed wildly out of the house and informed the neighbours of the death.

Doctor Wallace, of Queen and George streets, was called in about a week ago and found the child to be suffering from cholera infantum. It is said he was not called in a second time and that no doctor saw the child since his visit. The woman, whose name is Mary Feeney, was taken into custody, and is held on a charge of drunkenness, but it is possible that a more serious charge made be made. The circumstances were reported to Coroner Johnson, who has issued a warrant for an inquest to be held at Moffat’s undertaking rooms, Yonge street, at eight o’clock tonight. The body was removed there yesterday. A question to be decided is whether the death was caused or hasten by neglect.

A postmortem examination will be made this afternoon.

About a year ago, when Mrs. Fenney was serving a term for drunkenness, her baby died at the jail, the result, it was alleged, of neglect.

Another woman in a drunken condition was with Mrs. Feeney at the latter’s house yesterday, but she left hurriedly at the constable’s appearance.

HORSEY (Owen Sound, Ont.) July 23 - Three minutes after 6 o’clock this evening, Dr. T.H. Horsey, representative for North Grey in the Dominion house of commons, was fatally injured by the bursting of the flywheel on an accessory engine at the Sun Portland Cement Works. The big mill had just commenced manufacture of cement a day or two before, and Dr. Horsey, who was the founder and principal promoter of the enterprise had been spending much time around the plant. Today he passed one department of the works to the other personally superintending the initial work of manufacture. About 5:30 W.P. Telford, a well-known local banker and one of the directors of the cement company, went to the mills which are situated on the west side of the harbour entrance. He was greeted by Dr. Horsey, and together they went from one department to another watching the big rotaries turning, and discussing many of the innumerable details of the concern. A few minutes before six o’clock, they entered the engine room which is situated in a building at the north side of the plant. In the engine room at the time were M. Smith, chief engineer, who was on day duty; Wm. Webb, assistant engineer, having just entered to go on duty for the night.

Dr. Horsey instructed the engineer to start the big engine at nine o’clock, and then again turned to speak to Mr. Telford Engineer Smith reached over to the valve, and was in the act of turning off the steam when the swiftly revolving flywheel burst, wrecking the engine room in an instant. Broken pieces of iron shot in every direction, twisting the iron girders supporting the roof and tearing large rents into sheet-iron room itself. One section of the wheel was carried one hundred yards from the building. The long inch pulley ropes in some inexplicable manner were wrenched from the driving wheel of the big engine, windows were burst out, the floor sprung and bulged up in many places, making a wreck of the interior of the engine room that beggars description.

Recovering from the terrible shock, W.P. Telford and engineers Smith and Webb were horrified to see Dr. Horsey lying on the floor with a terrible gash in the skull, through which the brain protruded. He was still alive, though gasping feebly for breath. Medical assistance was telephoned for and Doctors Lang and Hershey arrived in a few minutes, but both pronounced the victim beyond hope of recovery. He was removed to the General and Marine hospital, where he died at midnight.

Mrs. Horsey who is in Wingham, has been notified of the accident to her husband.

Dr. Horsey was elected to the house of commons for North Grey as a Liberal in 1900, defeating Charles Gordon by a majority of 17. He was 32 years of age, and was a medical practitioner with the good will of a large section of the community. Some years ago he represented the Sun Life Insurance company in China, Japan, and the Philippines.

He married a daughter of Doctor McDonald, of Wingham, deputy speaker of the house of commons. Two small children are the result of the union. (Article edited.)

WHALLEY (Toronto) July 24 - Interest of the most feverish nature continues to be displayed in the case of the man Whalley, found dead in the Evans warehouse, and the inability to arrive at some reasonable conclusion which cannot be discounted by facts connected with this case tends to increase this interest. While various explanations are still be offered as probable, the one most generally accepted is the theory of suicide. Whalley may have died from natural causes or because of an accident, and but of for the chain of events at the Evan’s warehouse during the past two months, no explanation outside these would very likely be seriously entertained. If it is proved that his death is a natural one, or that he died

accidentally, the shroud of mystery will be lifted. But, on the other hand if this is not proved that two reasonable conclusions remain; Whalley either died at his own hands or was murdered.

REID (Toronto) July 28 - Seized with cramp in seven feet of water, Norman Reid, aged 17, was yesterday afternoon drowned at the mouth of the Mimico creek.

Deceased, who was the eldest son of James B. Reid, guard at the Central prison, left his home, 53 Brookfield street, about 2:00 o’clock, on his bicycle accompanied by Bert Kenney, of 97 Shaw street, and a younger brother. When the three lads reached the creek they decided to go in for a bathe. Reid was a poor swimmer, but crossed the stream successfully, and had started back when his companions on the bank heard a shriek and saw he was in difficulties. Bert Kenney pushed out to the drowning lad and told him to rest his hands on his shoulders. Reid did so, but only for a moment. He seemed to double up and then slip off.

Kenny dived several times, but failed to see his friend’s body again, owing to the muddiness of the water due to the storm. Doctor Godfrey happened to come up with his boat and he also endeavoured to find the body but without results.

Constable Geo. Simpson was then notified, and he at once started to drag the stream. In less than half an hour he was successful in recovering the body, but artificial respiration failed to restore life, and the corpse was removed to Benson’s undertaking rooms.

It is supposed that Reid, who had become heated by his ride from the city, was seized with cramps in midstream.

Mr. Warnock was born at Nelson, a suburb of Glasgow, Scotland, and came to Canada when a child. He started in business as a young man as a woollen manufacturer, and continued in this line all his life, building up a solid industry, which his sons are now carrying on. For twenty years he was president of the Galt Knitting company, and continued to give it his personal direction until failing health compelled him to retire a year ago. Mr. Warnock was vice president of the Gore Mutual Insurance company of Galt. He was a life-long Conservative, a man of great tenacity of purpose, of strict probity, and of genial disposition. Like most Scots, he was a firm believer in intellectual culture, and did a great deal of good in an unostentatious manner. He leaves a widow and

two sons, C.R.H. and James E., both of Galt, and both engaged in carrying on the business. Mrs. Warnock is a sister of the late Jacob Hespeler, of Hespeler, and of Hon. Wm.

MOON (London) Aug 29 - Two years ago, Rev. Alfred Moon left Newmarket to take up the pastorate of Kelvedon congregational church. Yesterday he visited his old congregation and died in their presence.

Mr. Moon was for eleven years at Newmarket, and his return for the day to his former church brought an unusually large congregation yesterday morning, all desirous of renewing their acquaintance with one who had been so highly popular while among them.

The minister seemed especially happy that morning, and there was no indication that he was any other than good health.

The service proceeded, and Mr. Moon, in addressing a few words to the congregation, alluded feelingly to those who had died during his absence. He missed several friends from among those who worshipped regularly there and then, in a voice that sounded almost strange to those who knew Mr. Moon best, he said, “but I can see them above”.

A minute or two later he gave out the hymn and sat down. The choir and congregation were singing, and had just reached the line, “man with eyes majestic after death” when Mr. Moon fell forward in the pulpit. Several persons hurried to him and found that he was dead.

TAYLOR (Tapleytown) Aug 29 - The funeral of the late Mrs. Ellen Octavia Taylor took place from the residence of her son-in-law, John Tingey, to St. George’s church on Thursday. Rev. C.E. Bell, M.A., kindly officiated for the rector who is ill. Mrs. Taylor was born in 1814 in officers’ quarters in Toronto, and was the only surviving daughter of Lieut.-Col. Thos. Taylor, judge of the county of Wentworth. Chas Durand, in his biography of celebrated men, speaks of him as having a university education, of his being the first reporter of the superior courts in Upper Canada, an able lawyer and clever judge, perhaps the ablest man of his time in early days. In military affairs, he was brave and experienced. In the Battle of Stoney Creek, he was wounded in both arms and left for dead on the field. Col. Taylor was also wounded in the terrible battle of Niagara.

When the Americans took that town again, he was wounded and taken prisoner, his wife and daughters suffering great hardships at the hands of the Americans. Mrs. Taylor had many of her father’s characteristics and was a good soldier during a long widowhood and years of suffering, which were born most uncomplainingly. She is survived by one brother, George Taylor of Ancaster, and five children, Miss Isabella D. Taylor, of Church Cottage; Messrs. Rothwell, and Buckbee, of Hamilton; Mrs. Ivison; of Sarnia, and Mrs. Tingey; of Tapleytown, and T.B. Taylor, of Watford.
