Monday, September 1, 1902

WILKINSON (Toronto, Ont.) Sept. 1 - Instantaneous death was a fate of Thomas Wilkinson, a plasterer who was working on Saturday afternoon on the Foresters arch at the Exhibition grounds.

Wilkinson was nearly fifty years of age. When he quit his work on noon on Saturday, he went to the Forester’s arch to help to get it into shape for the opening of the Exhibition on Monday. They needed all the skilled labour they could get, and about 50 men were working on the arch when Wilkinson met his death.

He was standing on a scaffold with Foreman Foley. The height of the scaffold was about 40 feet. In turning half around for a tool, he tripped on a trestle, and in a moment he had overbalanced, and, falling upon his head, he died with hardly a struggle.

Medical assistance was obtained but Wilkinson was past all aid.

The fatality occurred just before four o’clock and cast a gloom over the enormous crowd of visitors on preparation day of the fair. He is survived by a widow and six children.

Dunfield and Chalmers, but was of no avail. Deceased was 33 years of age. The body was taken to Wingham for internment.

KENNEDY - Reginald Aeneas Kennedy, president of the Times Printing company, died last evening in the Roach Ward of the city hospital, after a comparatively brief illness.

From that time, he continued to fail in health, and last Thursday he was removed to the hospital. Since then, he had been unconscious and death came between 9 and 10 o’clock last evening.

The deceased was born in Hamilton in December 1846, and on his father’s side was a lineal descendent of Robert Bruce, Scotland’s famed hero. Six years before the birth of the deceased, his father came to Hamilton and, with James Parker, started the firm of Kennedy, Parker, Co. The deceased received his education up to the age of sixteen at the Galt Grammar school, under the noted Dr. Tassie.

Fred Fox, secretary of the company, and Jesse Robinson, the processor, occupied a room adjoining the office on the first floor. Mr. Fox being ill, retired early and about the same time Mr. Robinson left the building to visit some friends. At the hour above mentioned Mr. Fox was awakened by the crackling in the office.

PEFFERS - The adjourned inquest into the cause of he death of Archibald Peffers, proprietor of the Volunteer hotel who was found in a dying condition in a bedroom over his hotel last Sunday afternoon, was concluded last evening. Several witnesses were examined but they could not throw any additional light on the cause of death. The jury brought in the following verdict. “We find that Archibald Peffers came to his death by poisoning, self administered, by mistake.”

David Flight, the first witness sworn, said he was deceased in his bedroom for about an hour Sunday afternoon. He appeared to be alright when the witness first saw him, but half an hour later, he began to act queerly, as is suffering from cramps. He did not make any mention of having taken poison.

Dr. Dillabaugh said that when he arrived at the Volunteer hotel in an answer to a summons he found Mr. Peffers in a dying condition. He passed three or four minutes later. The symptoms were those of strychnine poisoning. He knew of nothing else that would produce convulsions such as he suffered from.

In answer to a question asked by C.L. Mavor, a relative by marriage, the doctor said that the symptoms were not such as would result from alcoholic poisoning.

Mr. Mavor was next sworn. He had been acquainted with Mr. Peffers for 25 years. The dead man came to this country two years ago, and on March 3^rd of this year he gook possession of the Volunteer hotel. He was despondent over family troubles, and for some time prior to his death he had been drinking heavily. Sunday afternoon the witness called at the Volunteer hotel and found Peffers acting strangely. He was suffering from convulsions, and Mr. Mavor had awaited until his wife arrived, and then went for a doctor. He thought Peffers was suffering from delirium tremens. When he returned with the doctor the unfortunate man was unconscious and died a few minutes later. He had since searched the house and backyard but found no indication of Peffers taking any poison. Deceased told him and his wife after they had been in the house for some time, that he had taken poison by mistake.

FREEMAN (St. Thomas, Ont.) Sept. 11 - On Tuesday it was reported that James William Freeman, the 16-year-old adopted son of D.B. Freeman, of Hog street, Aldborough, had been killed by the discharge of a gun.

At first it was supposed that the boy was fixing or handling the gun and that it was accidently discharged. Closer examination however, disclosed the fact that this could not be possible, as had the lad been shot as he was found in the drive-house astride a work horse with the gun in his own hands, the muzzle would have been so close to his face to have burned and marked it with powder. However, there are no marks of powder on the boy’s face at all.

Another fact that upsets the theory of accident is that the shot spread all over the boy’s face for a radius of five or six inches. If shot as supposed, with the gun to close to his face, the shot would not spread. The gun was discharged at a distance of three feet from an object, and the shot only spread for a radius of two inches. Then, two, if shot at such close range, it is believed the wound would have worse than it was.

Doctor Dorland opened an inquest yesterday and heard the evidence of Charles King, aged 25, a not overly bright young man who lived with the family, and who first reported the shooting. King testified to finding the lad shot as described, and the inquest was adjourned.

DINGLE, KENT (Rochester) Sept. 14 - Murder and attempted suicide, or suicide or attempted murder, two legal questions are left with the criminal authorities of Munroe county to solve as ghastly relics of the wreck of two lives in a whirl wind of illegal love. The double crime is mystifying in its culmination and atrocious in all its features, especially so when the intelligence and social standing of the parties are considered. Leland D.

Kent, general agent of the Masonic Life Insurance Association was found in room 147 at the Whitcomb house, Rochester, under the influence of morphine and strychnine with a three-inch, shallow gash on the left side of his throat.

His body was recovered before it had been in the water, more than five minutes, although C. Nurse and assistants worked for an hour or more all efforts toward resuscitation proved futile.

Deceased went out to the Humber yesterday morning. About 1 p.m. he was sitting on a bench. Beside him was another man, who was reading, and paid no attention when White got up and walked away. Soon after that the man saw White on the wharf at the mouth of the river, where he apparently had a fit and fell into the water. The several people who had seen what took place ran to the spot and White’s body was recovered, though it had begun to sink in the quicksand. The throat contained a considerable quantity of sand in it.

Coroner Orr, of Cowan avenue, was notified, and arrived about half an hour after the fatality. After investigation he decided that an inquest would be unnecessary.

After examination of the shot wounds, it was considered that it would be impossible for them to be self-inflected. A visit was then made to the Freeman home, and King put through all his alleged movements after hearing the shot from the day of the tragedy.

After talking the matter over with detective Murray, the suspected man broke down and acknowledged that he had shot young Freeman because he was jealous of him.

SCOTT - The following is from the Los Angeles Record: John A. Scott, or Old John, the Shoemaker, as they called him could tell many stories, but there was one he always told before he went home for the night.

It was a simple little tale, something about his golden haired little Nellie, holding a lightened match to a glass of whisky which he had poured out for himself and asking him as she stood, startled at the flame that sprang from the glass, if that was what the preacher meant when he spoke of whisky being the invention of the devil. It was the story of Old John’s reformation, and he usually closed it with; “do you wonder that I loved the youngster better than the others, though I loved them all.”

His shoe shop was at 10306 east ninth street. He never spoke of the subject again, but several days ago he told Slater that his health was gone. Yesterday he told them his cough had reached the last stage.

“I have had a hemorrhage” he said. A pail half full of blood showed that the old man had had another hemorrhage.He had placed a pistol in his mouth and the bullet plowed up through his brain.

The Spectator has received the information from Los Angeles that Scott came from Dundas.

FRANKS (Niagara Falls, Ont.) Sept. 25 - Great excitement prevails in the village of Chippawa over a horrible tragedy which occurred there last evening, and of which Mrs. Jessie Franks was discovered this morning about 9:30 o’clock lying on the floor of her residence with her brains almost battered out. Mrs. Franks lived in a large house on the Market Square, her only companion being a Miss Thomas of Milwaukee, who sleeps at her house, but the greater portion of the day at the home of Mrs. Thomas Macklem. Miss Thomas has been spending the summer at Chippawa. When found, Mrs. Franks was lying in a pool of blood in her bedroom, while another pool of blood was found in the adjoining room the parlour, where the struggle had evidently took place.

Constable Lymburner was notified and he in turn summoned Coroner McGarry, of Niagara Falls South, and Detective Mains, Niagara, of the Ontario Police, arrived at the scene of the murder about noon. Entrance was gained through the rear door, which had been kicked open, as muddy foot marks plainly showed.

The supposition is that Mrs. Franks was eating her evening meal, as the remains of the supper were on the kitchen table. In Miss Thomas bedroom was found an axe which had evidently been used to force the trunk, as there was no bloodstains either upon the handle or blade. The trunk was thoroughly ransacked. The murdered woman had resided in Chippawa a number of years. Her husband, with whom she had not been living for a number of years, died in Troy, N.Y., three years ago. A son, William, survives but his whereabouts is not known.

A thorough hunt for the instrument with which the deed was committed was made this afternoon, but it could not be found. It is believed that the murderer made away with it by throwing it into the Chippawa Creek which flows a few yards away.

As a result, the remains of Mrs. Edgar, wife of J.Allen Edgar, a prosperous young farmer, residing two miles north west of Paris, and Miss Agnes Gourlay, a distant relative, are lying at a local undertakers establishment awaiting a post-mortem which has been called for tomorrow. Mrs. Edgar, accompanied by Miss Gourlay, the young lady of 25 years of age, who acted as a maid at the Edgar homestead, and Wallace Edgar, a thirteen year old son, attended the Presbyterian church this morning as was their custom. They drove in a buggy, to which was attached a horse which was afraid of trains. On returning to their home after the service, they were forced to cross the Buffalo and Goderich railway tracks. As they approached, a freight train passed. They paused, and attempted to cross the track, when the train was cleared, but failed to notice another freight, which was closely following the first at full speed. The horse balked, and could not be moved from the position it had taken, directly on the rails. As a result, the buggy was struck.

The horse was instantly killed and the buggy and occupants were thrown high into the air. Mrs. Edgar was struck and thrown to side of the track. She sustained internal injuries a large scalp and face wounds, from which she died fifteen minutes afterwards. Miss Gourlay was hurled a distance of 150 feet along the track and expired instantly, presumably from shock, as there were no serious injuries.

Young Wallace Edgar, in falling from the buggy, alighted on the cowcatcher of the train and clung there until rescued by the fireman, who bravely made his way to the imperiled youth and snatched him just as he was about to slip from his position. The inquest will be held tomorrow morning.

SPENCER (Toronto) Sept. 28 - Bertram Spencer, one of Toronto’s leading and most highly respected physicians, died at his late residence, 8 Bloor street east, yesterday, under most distressing circumstances.

a time his life was despaired of. Just when he was on the fairway to recovery his daughter, and only child, died suddenly. Doctor Spencer was deeply attached to his child, and it is doubtful if he ever fully recovered from the shock caused by her death. He was obliged for a time to give up his large and growing practice. A vacation in England from which he returned a short time ago did much to restore him to his old time vigor. Less than two weeks since, he told an old medical friend that he was feeling his old self again, and intended to devote himself to his practice.

Nine days ago, Mr. Spencer, while boarding a moving a Yonge street car, tripped and fell, cutting the back of his head slightly. The wound was of such a trifling character that he thought nothing of it at the time. Shortly after returning home, however, erysipelas set in, from the effects he succumbed yesterday.

The girl left letters to her mother, her mistress, and Richard Howard, a young man with whom she kept company. These indicate the cause of the act to have been jealousy, Howard it seems, having paid some intention to another girl.

HALE (Sault Ste Marie, Ont.) October 3 - Noah Hale, one of the best-known farmers in this district residing on the People’s road, six miles north west of here, this morning, shot and killed his son. Frank Hale attempted to murder his own wife, and afterward is believed to have committed suicide. Father and son lived almost opposite each other.

Early this morning, the mother and son were seated at breakfast in the son’s house when the old man entered with a shotgun, and without warning shot Frank. The gun was charged with buckshot which took effect in the victim’s side. Frank ran out of the house but fell in the yard.

The murderer then turned on his wife and beat her with the butt of the gun knocking her down. He then ran out into the yard where he saw son lying dead. This seemed to make him even more frenzied, saying he would kill his wife also.

In the meantime, the woman had recovered her feet. He struck her with the gun again, and she started to run. With great difficulty, the woman reached the house of her daughter, Mrs. Panther, who lives half a mile distance where she still is. She suffered a broken arm and several bad wounds in the head and body, but may recover.

After leaving his wife, Hale ran to the woods and a little later a shot was heard from that direction. It is supposed that he committed suicide. A posse, headed by Constable Pearson, is out looking for him.

Coroner Dr. McLurg and Magistrate Norris, who went to the scene this morning, have returned to the Soo with the body of the murdered man. Noah Hale is a market gardener, and is well known in the Canadian Soo. He is 65 years of age. Frank Hale the victim, was unmarried, and was liked by all who knew him. He was a hard-working industrious young and had acquired a farm and a home by his own efforts.

Those who know the family say that Mrs. Hale and the children never knew a moment’s peace, as almost every day threats were made against their lives. The old man has always been somewhat peculiar, and five years ago was arrested for threatening the life of his wife. Three weeks ago, he was again arrested and on the same charge, and was bound over to keep the peace. Since his arrest, the old man has made many threats against his whole family, and those who have heard him talk are not surprised at what has happened. On account of the trouble, Frank took his mother in his home two weeks ago, and she has remained there since.

MARCEY - When John Gompf, employed at the smelting works, entered one of the outbuildings in connection with the works, about 9:00 o’clock this morning, he saw something that startled him. Huddled up in one corner were two small boys, both of whom were almost dead from exhaustion and exposure. The smaller of the two was nude, while the other boy’s clothes were soaking wet. On the floor lay the clothes of the smaller boy. They, too, were very wet. Mr. Gompf started to question the boys but they were so cold, wet, and exhausted that they could not speak. Wrapping one of them up in his coat he carried him into the works and then returned for the other one. It was some time however, before either of the boys was able to speak. The elder of the two a lad of ten years, was the first to talk, and from him Mr. Gompf and his work mates learned that the lads were Claude and Ernie Stewart, and that they lived at 119 Hess street south. Word was telephoned to police head quarters and the patrol wagon was sent to the smelting works to remove the youngsters to the hospital.

In the meantime, Mr. Gompf succeeded in getting some information from Claude, the elder of the two. From what he said, it appeared that yesterday morning his mother gave him a two dollar bill to go to the store to pay a bill. He took his seven-year-old brother Ernie with him and on the way they met Halford Marcey, the twelve-year-son of Andrew Marcey, 167 Bold street. Instead of going to the store, as directed, the lads started out to have a good time with the money. They purchased some candies and got on a radio car and went to the Beach, where they remained until 4:00 o’clock in the afternoon, when they took a row boat which was pulled up on the shore, and started for home. There was a heavy sea running and it did not make much progress. They soon got chilled through, and unable to row any longer, they allowed the boat to drift. When it became dark they were cold, wet, and frightened, and still a long distance from shore. One after another, they became so exhausted they lapsed into a semi-conscious condition, and what happened during the long hours until daylight appeared they know very little about. Claude Stewart, however, maintains that the boat upset, and that they were in the water all night, but later developments showed that this could not have been the case although the condition of their clothing bore out the story.

How they got ashore they are unable to tell, more yet do they know how long they were in the outhouse, where they were found. Evidently when they got inside, the younger boy took off his water-soaked clothes and lay down beside his brother to sleep.

When asked about Marcey, Claude Stewart that he had gone uptown on a streetcar and it was thought that he was alright until some time later, when George Hayward, another smelting works employee, found his lifeless body in the bottom of the boat, which was on the shore not far from the building where the other boys were found.

While they did not fare as badly as their companion, the Stewart boys are both in bad shape, and it is a question whether or not they will recover. The parents of the unfortunate lads were notified at what had happened and were almost heart broken.

MARCEY - The story of the adventurers of three small boys which terminated in the death of one of them - Andrew Halford Marcey, 187 Bold street - was told by the other two - Claude and Ernie Stewart - and several other witnesses to a coroner’s jury last night. The adjourned inquest was held at No. 3 police station, and while very little additional light was thrown on the cause on the unfortunate lads death, one thing was established beyond a doubt. The boys did not get any liquor at the beach or any other place. The Stewart boys are particularly bright for their years - Claude being only nine years and Ernie two years his junior - they told a straight and intelligent story of all that occurred Monday and Tuesday morning up to the time they were found. Both have recovered from the effect of their terrible experience. Doctor McNichol was the coroner.

From Burlington they walked back on the railway track to the beach where they found a boat on the shore. Claude and Marcey got into the boat but Ernie didn’t want to get in. The deceased coxed him to get in and he did. There were no oars in the boat and they used a couple of sticks to row with. They got tired rowing before it got dark and all three lay down in the boat and went to sleep. Marcey thought it was about six o’clock when they stopped rowing for he heard the bells in the city ringing.

The next thing he remembered was waking up in the morning and finding the boat in the weeds. Claude called Marcey, who was in the bottom of the boat but received no answer, and Claude went to sleep again. When he awoke, Marcey’s eyes were open and there was froth on his mouth. He tried to rouse him but couldn’t. He got out of the boat and helped his brother out.

Questioned by the coroner, Claude said they had nothing to drink not even water, before leaving Hamilton, or while at Burlington or the beach.

S. Evans, employed at the powerhouse, saw the boys fooling with the boat and questioned them. They gave him wrong names and resented his interference by answering him saucily.

George Hayward works at the smelting works. He saw the Stewart boys after they were carried into the works. They were in very bad shape.

Doctor Peters said he saw Marcey’s body late Thursday morning. There were no marks of violence and the appearance did not indicate that death was due to drowning. It took the jury less than a minute to arrive to the following verdict. “We are of the opinion that Andrew Halford Marcey came to his death as result of exposure while out on Hamilton Bay drifting in an open boat.

Mrs Margaret Lynch, an old resident of Dundas, was found drowned in the canal last evening.

The body was removed to the town hall and Undertaker F.A. Latshaw took it in charge.

BREADY, HUGHES, HAINER - The village of Grimsby is a great house of mourning today. As a result of a terribly fatal accident about 8:30 last night, two of the most estimable young ladies of the village, and one of its best known young men are lying dead, their bodies mangled and torn awaiting the calling of a coroner’s jury to determine as to the cause of the fatality. Their names are Miss Gertrude Hainer, Miss Maude Hughes, and Harry Bready.

When the Grand Trunk express from the east reached the Stuart street station a little before 9:00 o’clock last night, the engineer, in making his usual examination, found a boot and bits of clothing on the pilot. He concluded that the train had run over a man, and reported the find. A message was sent to Grimsby and the section gang was called out. The wire from Hamilton said that the accident had occurred about a mile from Grimsby, in the direction of Winona, and in that direction the section patrolled the north track, without finding any evidence of accident. They returned to Grimsby and the south track, and not until they reached Grimsby yard did they discover the victims of the awful affair. In the railway yard, thrown some distance from the rails were the three bodies, mangled and bruised, and horrible to look upon.

The supposition that the three young people, not to be able to cross the yard until the freight moved out, stood on the south track waiting. While they stood there not thinking of danger, the express came in an opposite direction, thundered along, and before they had time to escape, hurled all three into eternity.

Miss Hainer, who was about 19 years of age, was a daughter of Murray Hainer, of Grimsby village. She was bookkeeper and typewriter in the Grimsby Independent office, and had formerly been a student in one of the Hamilton business colleges.

Miss Hughes was about 25 years of age, and was a daughter of Charles Hughes, one of the best known residents of the village.

Harry Bready was 20 years of age, and his former home was in St. Catharines. He was an employee of the Independent staff, and had intended to leave the village in a few weeks, for Rainy River district where his father is living.

THOMPSON - The funeral of the late Mark Thompson took place yesterday afternoon at 2:00 p.m. from his residence, 296 Victoria avenue north. The large attendance shows the high esteem in which deceased was held. After a short service at the house the cortege wended its way to St. Matthew’s church, where a very impressive service was conducted by Rev. Mr. Whitcomb. There was a large turnout of the Sawyer-Massey company’s employees, also Dixon lodge of Workman. The pallbearers were three shop mates and three members of the Workman.

The widow and family have the sincere sympathy of a large circle of friends.

Mr. O’Donohue had been in failing health for some time, being a sufferer from kidney trouble, but his death was somewhat unexpected, and will come as a shock to his many friends throughout the Dominion.

For 63 years, deceased had been a resident of Toronto, and for the major portion of that period was prominent in the public eye, as a lawyer, a politician, and a leading member of the Ontario Catholic League.

ROGERS (Havelock, Ontario) December 7 - A terrible disaster occurred here last night, when a whole family were nearly wiped out of existence in a railway crossing accident. The calamity occurred at 8:08 o’clock at the west end of the village, where the C.P.R. level crossing is very dangerous for anyone approaching it from the north. Buildings erected close to the track hide any view of trains coming from the west. James Rogers, about 35, farmer, residing two miles from the village, his wife, aged about 40, his two sons, Walter and Fred aged 13 and 11 years, and an adopted daughter aged about 9, were on their home, and just as Rogers drove on to the crossing the local express thundered upon them, striking the bobsleigh exactly in the middle and hurling the occupants in all directions. Mrs. Rogers was struck on the head, and killed instantly. Mr. Rogers and the youngest boy Fred were terrible mangled on the head and body, but were still living. The little girl was knocked unconscious but her injuries are not fatal, her lower jaw being fractured in two places. The other boy was thrown 40 feet over wood piles and ties, and only sustained a sprained ankle. He was conscious when found and has since explained that his father could not control the horses when he saw the train coming, and that the express struck them before they had time to jump. The funeral of the three victims of the awful affair will take place on Tuesday afternoon from the residence of Mrs. Griffin in this town. An inquest will be probable be held here on Monday.

MARTIN (Cleveland, Ohio) December 7 - Still another victim was added today to the long list of fatalities incident to the construction of the water works tunnel.

Martin went down early today, as usual, with the regular shift. While in the tunnel, he was seized with the chokes, but remained at his post for the required two hours. Just at noon, however a violet attack of chokes again seized him, and he passed away almost immediately. Martin was 32 years old, and he had been working in the tunnel for about five weeks.

KAMM (Toronto) December 8 - Julius Kamm, 168 Dovercourt road, shot himself through the mouth on Saturday, and is now at St. Michael’s hospital at the point of death.

That the shooting was done with suicidal intent is beyond the possibility of a doubt. Kamm was found in an unconscious state in an armchair on Saturday about 2 p.m. by his son, who had just returned from work. An old fashioned pistol was found in his right hand. Dr. Smuck was called, but his attempts to revive the man were unavailing. About 6:00 p.m., he was removed to St. Michael’s hospital where the doctors pronounced his case hopeless.

For many years Kamm has been despondent, and of late quite given over to despair. He is 57 years of age, and has a wife and family of grownup children.

Burrows went to Detroit to visit his brother, he indulged rather freely in liquor, and, from remarks he made during lucid intervals after the shooting, he thought he was the victim of unrequited love.

Witnesses noticed him suddenly stop near the corner of Woodward avenue and Windsor street, about eleven o’clock on the night in question. Then a shot rang out and Burrows fell to the walk unconscious.

The trains came together with terrible force, the baggage and express cars telescoping the smokers. The loss of life is over 25. The injured number considerably more.

The injured were brought here early this morning and placed in Victoria hospital.

The train conveying the dead arrived in this city at 10:30 o’clock this morning. Twenty-five bodies were on the train - seventeen men, seven women, and one little girl.

Engineer Gillies of Sarnia Tunnel was killed at his post, and so were the firemen from both trains.

They say there was no warning of the terrible crash. The rain was running at a great speed judged by the swaying of the coaches. Most of the people were asleep or dozing. Then as suddenly as the crash had come an awful hush. After the stillness came a bedlam of noise. The sound of the escaping steam from the engines and broken steam pipes in the coaches seemed like a hissing of a thousand demons bent upon drowning the awful cries and shrieks of the maimed and dying.

The death train which arrived here this morning, consisted of an engine, two passenger cars and a freight caboose.

All the undertakers in the city were called into service, and while the bodies were being laid out in a ghastly row within the freight house the work of identification was going on.
