MUIR (Brantford) Jan. 17 - The Expositor says: John Muir, who has many friends living in Burford, was shot dead in the mountains forty miles from Neepawa, Man. A man named Bell was out in the Riding mountains shooting. He heard a crackling in the bush ahead and saw what he supposed to be a deer’s head about forty yards away. He took deliberate aim and fired and running forward found Muir lying on his face. He had shot him through the top of his head, making a deep furrow, exposing the brain matter and some of which was oozing out.

Bell was frantic at the sight, and being an elderly man was not able to carry Muir alone. He finally found help and between them they carried him out of the mountain to such a place as they could bring in a team.

After they got to the house, which was five miles away, they then had to send forty miles for a doctor at Neepawa. The doctor arrived at 4 o’clock in the morning, but could do little except to dress the wound. Mr. Muir was conscious for about six hours and died about 42 hours after the accident.

John Muir had several relatives in Burford, and was well known. He was a cousin of the Burtches of Woodstock.

December of last year. The first intimation her father had that she had left her employer was the news of her death at Grace hospital in this city. Investigation revealed the fact that she had sought refuge at the house of Mrs. Tranter, 56 Teraulay street, where in the course of time she gave birth to a child. She was subsequently removed to Grace hospital, where on Dec. 17 she died of peritonitis. The man who negotiated for the girl’s care and keeping in Toronto at first gave his name as Locke, but subsequently said that it was John Young, and that his post office address was Princeton, Blenheim township.

The circumstances of the case, as told by Crown Attorney Clarke, who arrived this noon from holding the inquest at the town hall in Gesto are that the couple were married some years ago. Domestic troubles caused a separation. Seven weeks ago they came together again and went to live together at his home. Again they quarrelled and fought frequently.

In the evidence at the inquest it was stated that Mrs. Nolan told a Mr. Artis that Nolan would not trouble her again in a few days, and Nolan’s mother gave evidence that his wife had told her that she would fix Nolan; that he would get the worst of it. On Saturday Mrs. Nolan bought some rat poison from a storekeeper at Gesto, so stated the dealer, although the woman denies it. On Sunday night after supper Nolan was seized with cramps of the stomach and had violent fits of vomiting. Dr. Park of Gesto was summoned by a neighbor and defined the symptoms as those of poisoning. Nolan died on Tuesday night. An information was laid before Magistrate Rodd at Gesto, charging Hattie Nolan with murder and she was arrested.

DUNHAM - A horrible accident occurred at Stony Creek at an early hour yesterday, resulting in the death of Jonathon Dunham, a young man 25 years of age , who was fatally burned in attempting to extinguish a fire caused by the explosion of a lamp.

Dunham, with his wife and child, were in bed about 5:30 in the morning, when a kerosene lamp which had been left burning in the room, exploded and the burning oil ran over the floor. Without a moment’s hesitation, Dunham grabbed an armful of bedclothes and sprang out of bed to smother the flames around the burning lamp, but found himself literally in a pool of burning oil, the flames of which ignited his nightgown. He bravely caught up the lamp, however and made a rush to the front door, the burning oil from the lamp flowing over his hand and his nightdress burning about him. He ran into the passage, but his exit was obstructed by a door which he could not unlock for some moments but though suffering excruciating pain he held on to the lamp and finally getting out with it. During those moments he was terribly scorched and must have inhaled the flames. Having succeeded in opening the door, he ran into the village street, flung the lamp down and rolled in the snow until the burning nightrobe was extinguished. Dunham’s right hand had been so badly burned when carrying out the lamp that when he threw it into the snow most of the flesh of the hand stuck to the lamp, leaving the bones exposed. Though so badly injured he remained conscious for six hours but died during the afternoon.

Mrs Dunham had caught up the child and got out of the opposite side of the bad and escaped out the rear door.

The weather was considerably below zero, which added a great deal to their suffering.

The occupants had all retired for the night, and were awakened to find themselves completely enveloped in flamed. Mr. Harris jumped from the front upstairs window, and in spite of his terrible burns ran about half a mile to secure help. Mrs. Byers awakened her daughter, and grabbing some bed-clothes told her to follow her, and started for the door. After herself getting out she was horrified to find her daughter was not beside her. The fire, however, in this moment of time had so far advanced as to preclude a entrance to the burning building, and with all the terror of a loving mother Mrs. Byers ran to the window of the room she occupied and breaking it in called for her little one. After repeated calls the blood-curdling wail came back. “Ma, Ma, I can’t get out” and with that the roof fell in, carrying with it the second floor, shutting out all possibilities of rescuing the little girl.

Mr. Harris, after running about half a mile to awaken John Winters, the nearest neighbour, fell exhausted, and on examination was found that his injuries were terrible. His face, head and hands were fearfully burned, and his legs so badly cut from the ice that Dr. Ray, on being summoned, found it necessary to stitch the flesh in several places.

FURLONG (Nanticoke) March 9 - This afternoon, Wm. Furlong Jr., a much respected citizen of this vicinity was aiding his brother in unloading logs at Howey’s mill. He fell insensible to the ground and before medical aid could be summoned the vital spark had fled. Over-exertion and hereditary heart trouble was probably the cause of the fatality, a sister having died under similar

circumstances some ten years ago. Deceased was about 26 years of age, and, in addition to a large family of brothers and sisters, leaves behind him a young wife and child.

SWAN (Toronto) March 10 - The medical profession are completely baffled over the case of George Swan, the Kincardine merchant tailor, who shot himself with suicidal intent on Feb. 29 last, and only succumbed to his wounds yesterday morning.

Dr. J.G. Mennie, who had been in constant attendance on the suffering man, in the presence of Coroner Powell, yesterday afternoon made a post-mortem examination of the remains and brought to light some facts which will no doubt be read with considerable interest by the medical profession at large. The bullet, it was found, had entered the forehead at the base of the nose, directly between the eyes, making an aperture sufficiently large to admit a person’s two fingers. Some splinters from the skull had been driven right into the brain. The ball was found in the right ventricle of the brain, almost five inches from the outward entrance. There was also a blood clot fully one-third of an inch in thickness over the whole of the right hemisphere of the brain. From the time of the shooting, about 2:30 o’clock on Saturday afternoon, Feb. 20, until within two hours of his death, Mr. Swan was perfectly conscious, and could converse freely with those about him. He first began to sink on Saturday last, about noon, and weakened gradually until death occurred. There will not be an inquest as was at first expected, for, after hearing the result of the post-mortem, Coroner Powell withdrew his warrant.

MOORE (Brockville) March 10 - The town is still intensely excited over the murderous work of Lapoint yesterday. At two o’clock this morning Chief Rose was resting nicely, but it was uncertain whether he would recover.

An eye-witness off the affair describes the shooting briefly as follows: “Chief Rose and Mr. Hall were walking towards the opera house and when opposite Perth street, Lapoint, who was standing on the corner, opened fire with a double-barrelled shotgun, and the chief fell to the ground, while Mr. Hall managed to escape unhurt, and sought shelter. Lapoint then removed his coat and proceeded to start a private burying-ground in true wild west fashion. Another shot was heard, and an old man named Moore seemed to fall heavily. He was evidently instantly killed, as he never moved after falling, being shot through the head. An old Indian, who was standing near the corner, received part of the same charge which sent Moore to his last account. Officer Tinsley, at this juncture, procured a double-barrelled shotgun, and pluckily walked toward the corner. Here he got a bead on Lapoint, who also covered him, and both guns exploded simultaneously and Tinsley was seen to be wounded. The officer returned to the police station where his wounds were attended to. A shot entered the face near the eyes, lodging in the nasal passages.

The hay scales office, some thirty yards distant from the spot where Lapoint held forth, was converted into a temporary fort, and observation tower, and several who took up positions behind him had cause to regret their temerity. Constable Tinsley is a son of E. Tinsley of Hamilton, chief game warden of the province of Ontario. He was for a number of years on the mounted police, and came to Brockville last year as a guard at the asylum. He joined the police force last summer and had proved himself a most efficient officer. While armed with a revolver this constable with several others, kept in cover of the hay scales, and Lapoint peppered away at them, riddling the scales and wounding several. Wm. Howison procured a gun for Tinsley, and he then, with one or two others, got across the street into the store kept by Mrs. Murphy, near where Lapoint stood. The constable stepped outside and took a look around the corner, when he was confronted by Lapoint. Both levelled their guns but Lapoint was too quick, and poor Tinsley got a big charge of shot in the arms and face. Luckily he got into the fire station, where he was taken care off; but some of his shot took effect on Lapoint.

The man is a member of a well-known family residing in Elizabethtown and has a brother resident in Brockville. His father died some years ago and the mother died about two years ago, leaving considerable property, and this son, who, relatives say, has always acted very strangely, imagined that the rest of the family were trying to appropriate his share. Some few months ago he got into trouble in the town, and, after threatening the life of his brother, was sent to jail for being drunk and disorderly from which he was shortly afterwards released. An attempt was made to have him place in the asylum at one time, but it did not prove successful. His appearance does not indicate viciousness, and the general opinion was that he was demented.

Mrs. J. Dresher, wife of Jacob Dresher, western traveler for the W.E. Sanford company, died at Winnipeg yesterday. Her death was a great shock to her relatives and friends in Hamilton, as it was unexpected. She had an operation performed on Saturday and died from the effects of it.

HAYNES (Windsor) March 10 - The Rev. Dr. W.H. Haynes, a well-known coloured preacher and a graduate of Toronto university, is dead in Detroit. He was for several years in charge of the M.E. church at Harrow. In some manner he got control of a parcel of real estate owned by the First Baptist church in Harrow village, and disposed of some of the lots. Some property which Dr. Haynes mortgaged to the Rev. John Neeland, of Strathroy, and of which the Baptist church claimed ownership was held only on a tax sale title. The church had commenced legal proceeding to recover the property when Dr. Haynes’ death ended the controversy.TOUGH (Gravenhurst) March 10 - The inquest on the death of a young women, Kate Tough, who was found dead here on Friday evening under suspicious circumstances, was concluded this afternoon, and is the first stage of what promises to be a sensational murder trial.

The inquest opened yesterday afternoon before Coroner Bridgeland, of Bracebridge. Several witnesses were examined, and found that the deceased had left her parents home about 8 p.m. Friday, having being up town for a few minutes. Shortly after nine o-clock she was found lying in the snow on the road between Mr. Hammonds residence and her own home. Life was nearly extinct, and she expired almost before she could be carried home.

The first testimony of a startling nature was elicited from Dr.Campbell, who swore that on Friday afternoon William James Hammond bought one ounce of prussic acid at his drugstore, ostensibly to kill cats. Hammond, on Saturday, informed the witness that he had thrown away the poison without using it. It was brought out in evidence that two bottles were found secreted in the dead girl’s bedroom, and that one was labelled and contained half an ounce of prussic acid.

It was also shown that Hammond had been secretly married to Miss Tough, last November, in Buffalo, and that since her stay at home of about three weeks they had been corresponding, he signed his letters with initials. Hammond was married of the assumed name of James and their relations had been kept a secret. Their marriage, however had been suspected, but both parties denied the relation.

The medical men called in to see deceased were of the opinion that she had been in perfect health. This, coupled with the fact that a faint odor of prussic acid had been detected in her breath just before her death, pointed to poison as the cause of her sudden demise. The theory of suicide could not be made to fit the facts of her habitual cheerfulness and freedom from all morbid feeling.

The coroner, after hearing the available evidence, called Hammond and informed him of the grave nature of the suspicions aroused against him by the evidence produced and asked if he wished to make a statement. Hammond replied that he was anxious to do so, and after the usual caution was sworn.

He admitted the prussic acid from Dr. Campbell. It was a small sealed bottle, which had never been opened. He wanted it to kill a dog which had greatly annoyed by following him and his wife in their walks. Immediately after his wife’s death he had thrown the unopened bottle of poison away. It never occurred to him that under the circumstances he should have kept it. He admitted that he suspected his wife had poisoned herself. At the moment, however, of throwing away the poison he attributed her death to apoplexy.

This evening Hammond was arrested by Chief Constable Sloan and brought before H. Castle, J.P., for a preliminary hearing on a charge of murder. After the putting of the formal record of the inquest, the case was remanded for eight days to allow of further inquiries being made. Constable William Sloan conveyed the prisoner to the district at Bracebridge on the 11:45 train to-night.

The town and neighbourhood is greatly excited over the affair. The young woman was brought up here, and her parents are highly respected residents of the town. She bore a good character and was a most amiable young person.

Judging from the funeral cards issued today the parents of the dead girl ignore the alleged marriage, her maiden name only being used in the announcements. (Article edited.)

BROWN - A dispatch from Sault Ste. Marie says an inquest opened here yesterday (Tuesday) on the body of Frank Brown, who committed suicide last Wednesday.

He rushed out of the building crying “Papa is dead”! Papa is dead”! Attracted by the boy’s cries a number people entered the office, where they found Brown lying dead at the back of the office.

The clothing over his heart was clotted with blood, and his right had held a 38-calibre self-cocking revolver.

Doctors Reid and Hunter were summoned and found two bullet wounds right over the heart the bullets having passed right through and out of the back. The trigger of the revolver had been pulled three times, but the cartridge in the second chamber failed to explode.

MILLER (Chatham) March 11- James Miller, aged 65, was engaged to-day hauling wood for J.& R. Ferguson, Thamesville, and in whose employ he had been for 28 years.

This man noticed the load go down the incline, and then lost sight of it for a moment. The next thing he saw was the team free of the wagon, and galloping up the opposite incline. He hurried over, and found Miller buried under the over turned load. When taken out the unfortunate man was dead, being terribly crushed about the breast, head, and face. No inquest will be held, as the occurrence was clearly an accident.

LOGAN - For some time past a quiet investigation has been going on as to the cause of death of Mrs. Ollie Logan who died under peculiar circumstances on Feb. 3.

The deceased was supposed to be the wife of A.G. Logan, who came to Hamilton from the States on Dec. 11 last. He and Mrs. Logan boarded at the Commercial hotel, after which they went to board at 105 Bay street south. When Logan came here he got a situation with John A. Barr, druggist. He left Mr. Barr’s employ about Christmas, and went to work for A.J. Seguin, who represents the manufacturer of fancy soaps.

Mrs. Logan was taken ill in the later part of January and early in February Dr. Lafferty was called in. The patent complained of severe pains, but was unable to ascribe any cause for her illness. She died on Feb. 3 and was buried a couple of days afterwards in the Hamilton cemetery. A certificate of death from heart failure was given.

The certificate of death mentions heart failure, which covers a number of ailments as the cause of death. Although the police were consulted they have not taken any action. It maybe that certain people have unnecessarily alarmed themselves about the woman’s death and that she died a natural death. It would probably satisfy them if an investigation was held, and this is likely to be done.

The circumstances seem somewhat peculiar, but Dr. Lafferty gave a certificate of death from heart failure. Logan left the house shortly after. He seems much dispirited at his wife’s death and said he could not bear to remain. He left the city to go to Buffalo about the end of February, but his situation was left open for him. Ten days ago an acquaintance here received a letter from him from Buffalo saying he would not be back.

HOLLAND (Toronto) April 1 - A mysterious death occurred last night at the residence of Adam Miller, sewing machine agent, 3 Elm street and Coroner Aikens has issued a warrant for an inquest, pending the result of a post-mortem examination, which will take place to-day.

On March 20 last, a rather delicate-looking girl went to Miss McIntyre’s W.C.T.U. shelter, 5 Elm st. and asked admission. She stated that her name was Agnes Holland, and she was 22 years of age. Miss McIntyre took the girl in and she stayed for four days, leaving the shelter to go to Mrs. Miller’s, next door, to act as nurse. The girl had been in apparently good health since, until shortly after seven o’clock last night, when she was taking suddenly ill and died an hour afterwards, under circumstances that would indicate poisoning. Dr. G.B.Smith was called in, but was unable to do anything for her.

Deceased told Miss McIntyre that she was an English girl, having left the old country seven years ago. She stated that she came here from Montreal last September and went to board at the southern branch of the Y.W.C.A., which she left because she was unable to pay her board. She further said that her trunk was at the Y.W.C.A., and also her gold watch, which she valued at $60.

At 6 o’clock last night she sent an express man for her trunk, but the man returned with a message to the effect that it was being kept for arrears of board. This seemed to deeply grieve the girl. Miss McIntyre speaks highly of the deceased, to appeared very quiet and respectable, was a good nurse. Since she went to the shelter she has been despondent and morose, but this was attributed to her having had to leave her effects at her previous home.

The accident happened at the west end of the Stuart street Yard east of the curve from the main line into the yard. O’Connors and his brother William were walking along the track toward the other side of the bay, where they were going to visit a sister. It is thought that neither man was sober at the time. Pat was struck by the engine without being mangled. William was evidently not walking on the track at the time and his escape may be accounted for by that fact.

The train was stopped and picked up both men, bringing them to the Stuart street station. William at first denied that he knew the dead man, but both were identified and from facts made by the man who escaped injury it seemed that Pat thought he would jump on the train.

The body was moved to the home on Picton street, and Coroner White notified.

The animal went into the stall quietly, but while McCallum was chaining it to the manger, it broke away, gored him in the chest and tore it open from shoulder to shoulder. One horn pierced the left lung, and by trampling on him the animal crushed the unfortunate man’s ribs and bones in. Patrick ran into the stable to help his brother, and as soon as the bull saw him it rushed and knocked him down. His hip and right side were torn and lacerated. The bull then turned his attention to some cows, throwing one over his head.

HARVEY - The story of the death of George Seal Harvey of 291 Huron street, a member of Harvey & Van Norman boot and shoe company is of more interest than the mere death notice indicates and is an illustration of the serious consequences following a simple mistake on the part of a chemist.

Mr. Harvey was a young man of 29, a fine, stalwart fellow of six feet or so. He had been ill with typhoid fever and was on a fair way to recovery, under the care of Dr. John L. Davidson of Charles street and his friends were looking forward to the time when he would be out again.

Prescriptions had been prepared from time to time on the order of the medical attendant. These were showing good results but it was naturally to be expected that the patient would be in a weak condition after his illness.

A prescription was sent to the druggist to be filled and it so happened that another order by Dr. Davidson was filled in the store at the same time. When both were ready one was handed to the message boy for delivery at Mr. Harvey’s home. Immediately on its receipt a dose was administered.

The druggist soon discovered that he had made a mistake and sent the other patient’s medicine to Mr. Harvey and immediately sent the boy back after it. He lost no time getting to the house, rang the bell and when he was answered, explained that Mr. Harvey had got the wrong medicine.

The sick man had heard the quick footsteps approaching the door and called out to know who it was. He also heard the boy’s remarks and the shock was too severe for his already weakened condition. He became unconscious and remained almost continuously in that condition until his death, medical skill being unavailing to bring him around although Doctors Davidson, Temple and Henwood consulted in the case.

It was not the improper filling of the prescription that caused the death but nervous prostration resulting from the shock caused by the message boy. The chemist feels very keenly because of his part in the unfortunate experience and the relatives of the dead man are endeavoring to shield him from any injurious consequence which might result by the revelation of his name.

Mr. Harvey’s father at one time was owner of the property in Hamilton on which the new smelting works now stand.

An accident in front of the Ryerson school this morning resulted in the death of John C. Springate, a son of John Springate, 104 Pearl street south. It was during recess and young Springate was out in the school yard playing with other boys. He was being chased by a companion named Thomas Martin and a boy named Herbert Marshall was following Martin. Springate left the yard making a run out on Queen street. He evidently had not noticed a wagon coming down the street, or, if he did, thought he could dodge in front of it. This he tried to do with the result that the shaft of the rig struck him in the side, knocking him over, and the hind wheel of the rig then passed over his body. The rig was one of Hazell’s delivery wagon’s driven by a young man named Frank Hooper. The horse was not moving fast, and it is said by persons who witnessed the affair that no accident would have happened if the boy had not run in front of the rig. Principal Davis was on the scene at once, and Hooper took the injured boy home in his rig. He died almost as soon as he reached the house.

The boy was thirteen years old and was in Miss Chilman’s class. Dr. Husband was called in and it is likely that an inquest will be held.

Tisdale and Coates went to Gibbons boarding house and Tisdale rapped at the front door, while Coates went to the back door. When the door opened Gibbons fired two shots at Tisdale, one of which struck him in the neck and the other grazed the lower part of the body, but neither luckily, made a serious wound.

LINGARD (Port Hope) June 10 - The utmost excitement was caused in the town this evening by the arrival of several farmers from Quay’s Crossing who had in their charge a lad aged about fifteen years, charged with the terrible crime of murder. Whether the investigation by the coroner and magistrate will sustain the charge of murder or not, it is of course impossible to say, but the story the men tell is sufficiently serious one whatever the ultimate charge may be.

It appears that the young prisoner who is now in the cells, whose name is Alfred Prentiss, and was employed on the farm at Quay’s Crossing, was in the habit of shooting over the lands of some of the other farmers, it is alleged, without their consent. Yesterday afternoon about 5 o’clock he is reported to have been on the lands of Thomas Lingard, who objected to his presence and ordered the lad to go away. The story is that Prentiss refused, and deceased proceeded to put him off, when the prisoner fired straight at Mr. Lingard, the shot taking effect, and death resulting almost immediately thereafter.

The shot and cries of some of the people employed by Mr. Lingard attracted the neighbours and Prentiss was arrested.

A Great North Western dispatch from Port Hope says “about five o’clock that evening Thomas Lingard, a farmer living near Quay’s Crossing about eight miles north of this town, was shot and instantly killed by young Barnardo home lad of fifteen, named Prentiss. Prentiss was rabbit shooting on Mr. Lingard’s farm. Mr. Lingard, coming along ordered off his property. The boy refused to obey, Mr. Lingard said if he did not he would put him off by force, and advanced towards Prentiss. The later raised his gun and said “if you come another step I will shoot you dead.” Mr. Lingard continued to advance, when the young man fired, the charge taking effect in Mr. Lingard’s neck, killing him almost instantly. Some farmers in the vicinity hearing of the shooting promptly arrested Prentiss, and brought him to town, where he is now securely locked up.”

Yesterday the No. 2 team of the Thirty Seventh battalion were firing in the Military Rifle league match at Oshwegan pond. Mr. Johnson was a member of the team, being colour sergeant, and in the afternoon drove out to the targets in company with Lieut. Elliott, taking with him his sporting gun, with the intention of putting in the spare time by hunting plover, which are very numerous in the vicinity. On arriving at the ranges Mr. Johnson, having some spare time before his turn for firing came, decided to hunt in the marsh nearby. It would appear that after having shot a plover, he was in the act of loading the discharge barrel of his gun when the other barrel discharged, the whole contents entering just above the left eye, completely tearing off the whole left side of his head. It is surmised that the neglect to let down the hammer of the loaded barrel previous to reloading the discharged one and he struck the hammer with his knee.

While he was out the old man, scarcely able to walk, asked the lad to give him a lift. Dryden helped the old fellow into the cart and was driving down Yonge street, when the harness became disarranged and the horse ran away. A collision with a telegraph pole knocked off one side of the cart and Mr. Brown tried to get out with the result that he became tangled in the wheel and his head was dashed against another post. When he was thrown out of the cart as the horse turned Carlton street he was dead. The collision had fractured his skull.

The deceased was 23 years of age and a good swimmer.

PARSONS (Toronto) June 23 - M. Parsons, the young fellow of 18, who was drowned while bathing in the Rouge river last Saturday is but one of the seven children of a family which has been pursued by ill-fate for years. The Parsons are a poor farm labouring family living in the township of Pickering. A few years ago, Josiah Parsons and his wife went out at noon, leaving the three youngest children asleep in one of the bedrooms of the shanty, only to find the house, on their return, a heap of ashes and mingled with these the charred remains of the three children. A short time after, three more of the children were accidentally smothered, then when the parents were slowly recovering from the shock, came the disaster of Saturday. Young Parsons was bathing with a number of companions, who, seeing a boatful of holiday makers turn the bend in the river, made for the bushes. Parsons chose, instead, to dive, and was not seen again until two hours later, when his body rose to the surface. The spot in which he plunged is quite deep water and clear of weeds or entangled brush.

HILLIARD (Rochester N.Y.) June 22 - Charles Hilliard, aged 35 an employee of the Citizens Light and Power company, while working among some heavily charged wires in the power house yesterday, suddenly fell to the floor dead. There is no burn on his body and it is not known whether he came in contact with a wire or was stricken with heart disease. Hilliard’s home is in Toronto, Ont.

SCOTT (Thamesville, Ont.) June 22 - A melancholy accident happened in the township of Camden, some five miles from here about noon to-day. Two bachelors brothers, John and James Scott, were engaged in building a rail fence, James hauling the rails and John building the fence. On his way to dinner up the lane John came on the lifeless body of his brother, who had left him to drive home the team for dinner about fifteen minutes before and was at that time in his usual health. John called two of his neighbours and together they brought in the body, having found his neck broken and his head and face cut. James evidently fell with his head between the wheel and body of the wagon. Coroner Stewart of Thamesville was informed of the facts, but deemed an inquest was unnecessary.

MCNICHOLS - A fatal accident occurred a few minutes after midnight last night on the beach road as it crosses the Grand Trunk tracks at the Jockey club grounds. W.A. McNichols, a St. Catharines man, was struck by an express train, thrown from his rig a distance of many yards and landed on the ground with his head split open and body badly bruised. The horse was thrown nearly 60 feet into a ditch, and was killed by the shock. All his legs were broken. The buggy was reduced to kindling and parts of it, with sections from the harness of the horse, were brought in to the Stuart street station hanging on various places on the engine.

The dead man had been in the city for some weeks and was engaged by the Hamilton Radial railroad people in the construction of their road on the Beach. His son and wife are living on the Beach. Yesterday afternoon he left the Beach with the understanding that he would come to the city, get some information regarding the work, return to the Beach and this morning go to St. Catharines to vote. Not returning home last night his folks came to the conclusion that he had changed his mind and gone to St. Catharines ahead of time. The news of his death was an awful shock to them. Last night before leaving the city he did some business with Thomas Leather, and started for the beach. The surmise is that he fell asleep in his buggy. A curious thing about the accident is that the bridle of the horse was brought in on the engine and in complete condition, even to the throat strap. How it was torn from the head of the horse in that condition is a mystery.

June 24 - Yesterday, while six men were crossing Bulger lake, in the township of McKenzie, Parry Sound district, on their way to vote at Whitestone polling division, their canoe capsized owing to overcrowding, and John Jones, aged about 25, married, was drowned. He was placed several times on top of the canoe, but evidently having lost his presence of mind, jumped off again every time. Finally the other men gave him up and made for the shore very much exhausted. Deceased was working for McCormick & McCleod, lumbermen. His body was found three hours after the accident.

Medical was immediately at hand, but he could not be roused, and was conveyed to the hospital, but never regained consciousness, and passed away this afternoon. Mr. Workman was 60 years of age, a son of the late Dr. Workman, of Toronto, and had been in business here since 1865. He leaves behind a wife and seven children, and his sudden calling off generally regretted.

BURNS (St. Thomas) June 25 - The remains of a man, said to be Frank Burns, Toronto, were found on the Grand Trunk railway track this morning a mile east of Aylmer. He had been struck by an east-bound freight, and portions of the body were scattered along the track for half a mile. Burns was one of a company of five tramps who spent the night in a barn near the track, and had all been drinking during the evening. His companions can give no reason why or when he left him, they being all asleep when found in the barn this morning. It is thought Burns had gone on the track and in his drunken condition fallen down and gone to sleep. His companions were locked up by the police and closely questioned, but nothing could be obtained to warrant their further detention and they were released.

BUTLER (Windsor) June 25 - John Butler, an old coloured man, who had been living out in the fields for some time, made Mayor Mason’s brick fields his headquarters recently. He built a fire night after night at the root of a large tree and lay on a carpet beside the blaze. The fire ate into the tree until the trunk was burnt almost through and about three o’clock this morning a strong wind made it fall. It fell across the old man’s chest and crushed his life out in an instant. His body was removed to Undertaker Joyce’s establishment this morning.
