The death occurred this morning, at her residence, 35 Hollis street, of Ellie S., widow of Cotton ALMON, son of the late Senator ALMON, and a member of one of the most distinguished families in this province. Mrs. ALMON had been in declining health for some months, and her condition has all along been recognized as one to cause much solicitude, especially in view of her age - 70 years. However, although not unexpected by those familiar with the state of her health, the news of her death will be received with deep regret by her very many friends thoughout the province, as that of a beloved "lady of the old school," a type now vanishing rapidly - indeed almost extinct.
Mrs. ALMON, who was Miss DODD, was a cousin of Judge DODD, of Cape Breton, of honored memory. She was personally charming, and a devoted churchwoman, her activity and interest in all branches of the work of the parish of St. Paul, of which church she was a member, making her death specially felt there. Up to the time of her last illness she was the treasurer of the Woman's Auxiliary of the parish. She is survived by three children - a son, Dr. W. Bruce ALMON; and two daughters, Misses Susan and Caroline ALMON.

A sad accident happened at Pleasant Harbor, Halifax county, on Thursday last, by which Captain George BORGAL lost his life. He was piloting the schooner Barcelona out of the latter place, when suddenly a heavy squal struck the ship, the ropes entangling him about the body and fearfully mangling him. Both his legs were broken, as also his arms, and face frightfully torn. He lived only an hour and a half after. The deceased, who was in his 58th year, was a man of upright character, honest in his dealings and a model of unselfishnes in his home. He leaves a wife and four children to mourn the loss of a kind and devoted husband and father. The children are Captain William, at home, Aylmer, in the Northwest, and Essie and Muriel, going to school.

HUBBARDS, October 8 - A more than usually sad drowning accident took place on the west side of St. Margaret's Bay this morning, when Leslie COOLEN returning with his cousin Asaph COOLEN from their trawls, was drowned by the capsizing of their boat. The wind was squally and the water rough. The accident took place between the bell buoy and Fox Point. Leslie was unable to swim and although clinging to an oar soon became exhausted and sank. Asaph could swim, and with the aid of the other oar kept afloat until a boat put off from the shore. The deceased was twenty-nine years of age, an intelligent, respected and industrious fisherman, and the youngest son of John Joseph COOLEN, Sr. He leaves a widow and two children. A large party were this afternoon grappling for the body, but without success.

He was the oldest resident of the latter settlement where he was respected by everybody.

One of the largest funerals that has ever been seen in Eastern Passage took place yesterday afternoon (23rd) when the last marks of respect were paid to the remains of the late Thomas EDWARDS, of Devil's Island. The funeral took place from his daughter's (Mrs. Andrew CLEARY) and proceeded to the Catholic church, were the Rev. Father UNDERWOOD performed the funeral service. He spoke for some time on the qualities of the deceased, having been intimately acquainted with him for the past fifteen years. He knew no man for whom he had more respect - a man of his word, a man that edified the community in which he moved. After the service the remains were interred in the family lot in the cemetery.
Mr. EDWARDS was the oldest resident on Devil's Island, having settled there about 60 years ago. He was one of the first that built there. During the years he lived there, he endeared himself to those about him and often braved wind and waves to save human life and to give happiness to others.

Dartmouth was shocked this morning to hear of the sudden death of John L. GRIFFIN, the manager of the Electric Light Company. The deceased passed away at two o'clock this morning. His sudden demise is one of the saddest events in the town for some time. Yesterday Mr. GRIFFIN was aparently in the best of health. Last evening he was out driving, and returned home shortly after nine o'clock. At tea he complained of feeling unwell and of a heaviness of the chest. Dr. MILSOM was summoned and everything done to relieve the patient, but to no avail, death occurring a few hours afterwards. The direct cause of death was heart failure, but the action of this vital organ was weakened by congestion of the lungs brought about by a cold the deceased contracted some time ago. Mr. GRIFFIN was a young man, not more than 35 years of age. He was a son of the late County Stipendiary GRIFFIN and leaves a widow, two sons and four daughters. The oldest child is 12 years of age, and the youngest not more than two mont hs. The deceased spent the whole of his life in the town and was well known throughout the community. He has been manager of the Electric Light Company ever since its organization, and very efficiently performed the duties of the office, and gave every satisfaction to the public. Mrs. Jabez CONRAD, Mrs. Richard BURBRIDGE, Mrs. Edward WARNER, Jr., and Mrs. SETTLE, of Dartmouth, are sisters of the deceased. He left one brother, who is now in the United States. He married a Miss FRASER, daughter of Alexander FRASER, superintendent of the marine railway.
The Evening Mail, Mondy, 9 May 1904, p. 2:
Dartmouth News - The funeral of John L. GRIFFIN took place yesterday from his late residence, Maple street. The members of Court Chebucto, I.O.F., and visiting brethern, walked in a body ahead of the hearse. Following the remains were a vast gathering of people, a striking proof of the esteem in which the deceased was held by the community. All the prominent citizens of the town were present, and many well-known men of the city were also among the mourners. As the residence of the deceased was about directly opposite St. Peter's church on Maple street, the funeral went along Ochterloney, Pine and Myrtle streets before proceeding to the chapel. At the church the burial service was sung by Rev. Father Underwood, the choir singing the responses. The service was very impressive. The internment was in the Catholic cemetery. The pall bearers were Frank POWER, George MISENER, George FOSTON and H. C. CREIGHTON. Among those who walked immediately after the hearse were Arthur GRIFFIN, a brother of the deceased , who came here from Boston, and Joseph McLEAN, of Sydney, the deceased's brother-in-law, and formerly dynamo operator in the electric light works here.

In these times of "short cuts" to competence and of "rolling stones" in the business world, a record of 30 years continuous service with one firm is a notable one. Such a record was that of Samuel E. GUY, who passed away this morning at his residence, 44 Lucknow street. Mr. GUY, who was 46 years of age, had spent 30 of these years in the employ of Stairs, Son and Morrow. Entering as a sixteen year old lad, in the capacity of junior clerk, he rose step by step to the position of confidential clerk, his record from beginning to end being one of signal efficiency. About eight years ago he had a long and very serious illness, from the effects of which he never fully recovered. His last illness was of three months' duration, and he has been confined to the house for that period. He wife and several children survive him. The funeral will take place on Tuesday afternoon, the 5th, at half past three o'clock.

The death occurred this morning, at her residence, 35 Almon street, under very sad circumstances, of Caroline, wife of Henry HARDING, manufacturer of fruit syrups. Two weeks ago, Mr. and Mrs. HARDING, who had spent the last nine years in Boston, came to Halifax, having determined to make their permanent home here.
They were passengers by the Olivette, and Mrs. HARDING, who had been for many years subject to very severe attacks of asthma, contracted a heavy cold. On arrival here it became obvious that the cold was a tenacious one, but no member of the household had the remotest idea that the consequences were likely to prove fatal. However, the skill of the physicians proved unavailing, and this morning she passed away. Mr. HARDING has the sympathy of many friends in his sudden and grievous bereavement. Mrs. HARDING, who was sixty-eight years of age, was a Miss DeYOUNG, of Dartmouth, and was married to Mr. HARDING, who was an Englishman, in that town, forty-seven years ago next November, the ceremony being performed by Dr. SHREVE. She was the mother of twenty-one children, six of whom survive her. These are:-
William, a minister of the Disciples church, now in Illinois. James, a furniture mover, resident in Boston. Frederick, a stair builder, living in Boston. Arthur, a plumber. Unity, wife of J. M. NAUGLE, Boston. Annie (Mrs. McGUIRE) of Summerville, Mass.
A daughter, Mrs. Eliza LAVERS, died about four years ago, and another, Mrs. Bessie VERRIGER, about one year and a half ago, both being residents of Boston. Mrs. HARDING was highly esteemed by a wide circle and will be greatly missed.

Dr. James ROSS received a telephone message from Portuguese Cove last evening, stating that the body of Agnes HARGRAVES had been found in a lake at that place. The girl had been living in Halifax, but grew tired of it and went to live with her aunt, Mrs. L. BOWERS at Portuguese Cove. She took her clothing to the Cove nine days ago, and it was Friday evening of last week that she left the BOWERS house, without a sacque or hat to visit a relative in the Cove, intending, it was supposed to return in a few hours. That was the last seen of her alive. Parties have been searching the woods and lakes for miles around, and yesterday afternoon the body was found in a lake not far from her aunt's home.
From marks on the body, there is a strong suspicion in the minds of the residents of the Cove that foul play has been committed, and a coroner's inquest has been ordered, when the matter will be thoroughly sifted out. She was twenty years of age, and was a great favorite in the place.
And at page 8:
The funeral of Agnes HARGRAVES, found drowned in a lake near Portuguese Cove, took place from the residence of her aunt, Mrs. Lawrence BOWERS, Portuguese Cove, with whom she lived. She was 21 years of age. (Boston papers please copy.)

MRS. HARRINGTON HAS PASSED AWAY
Daughter of Famous Presbyterian Missionary to the South Sea Islands
None was better known among the women of the Presbyterian church in this province than was Mrs. W. H. HARRINGTON, whose death last evening about nine-o'clock at her residence, Pleasant avenue, it is the duty of The Herald to announce. Mrs. HARRINGTON had been in failing health for a considerable time, suffering more recently from an affection of the heart, which at last proved fatal. She was the eldest daughter of the late REv. Dr. John GEDDIE, the pioneer foreign missionary of the Presbyterian church in Nova Scotia, whose heroic labors in the New Hebrides form the subject of a thrilling story and made his name a household word among Presbyterians of a generation ago. She inherited her father's love for and interest in foreign missions and was a dvoted worker in the Women's Foreign Missionary society. During recent years Mrs. HARRINGTON edited The Message, the monthly periodical which keeps the members of the society and the church in touch with missionary endeavor. Hers was a charming character, and she was loved and esteemed by the very large circle with whom she came in contact socially and in church work. In her death the community suffers a distinct loss. Mrs. HARRINGTON'S mother still survives, residing with an unmarried daughter and son, called after his father, in Melbourne, Australia. Two sisters married foreign missionaries, both of them, if we are not mistaken, also residing in Australia.
Mrs. HARRINGTON'S husband, who was a member of the old firm of Lawson and Harrington, predeceased her some years ago. The surviving children are a son in Montreal; Lottie, married to George MUSGRAVE, and Emily and Lucy at home. The time of the funeral had not been arranged last night. There will be sincere sympathy for the bereaved children and other relatives.

Jairus HART, one of the oldest men of Halifax, a merchant of the old school, and one of our wealthiest citizens, passed away last evening. He had been in failing health for some time, a year ago having undergone an amputation of a leg. Mr. HART was born in Guysboro on March _1st, 1819, and was in his 88th year. His father was Tyrus HART, who was born at Hartford, Conn., in 1763, and came to this country at the close of the revolutionary war, and the son was therefore one of the very few who now could claim that his father was a United Empire Loyalist. He mother was Margaret HULL, and he had twelve brothers and sisters, two only of whom are now living - Reuben and Levi. He was married in 1846 to Eliza, daughter of Francis COOK, who predeceased him about eleven years ago. There were no children. Jairus HART began business at Canso, but in 1850 came to Halifax, where he entered into partnership, establishing the wholesale flour and West India business of Young and Hart. The firm was dissolved in 187
6, and Mr. HART retired from active business. He was one of the capitalists of Halifax, was for several years a director of the bank of Nova Scotia and also its president, retiring from the latter position about four years ago. He was a leading member of the Methodist church and was known in that body far beyond this province. He was a director of the School for the Blind and was interested in other benevolent enterprises. The funeral will take place from his late residence on Pleasant street at 3 o'clock tomorrow afternoon, the religious service to begin at 2.30. The internment will be in Camp Hill cemetery.

One of the oldest residents of Eastern Passage passed away on Monday morning in the person of Mrs. Agnes HARTLEY, at the advanced age of 83 years. The deceased lady had not been enjoying good health for over a year, and her death was not unexpected, even by those outside of the family circle.
Mrs. HARTLEY was highly respected by all. Her pleasant disposition won for her a host of friends. She was a devout member of the Anglican church. She always found it a great pleasure to help along all church work. Her husband died about seven years ago. She is survived by seven children, five sons and two married daughters. The sons are David, Ferdinand, Richard, Dennis, of Eastern Passage, and Henry, of Dartmouth. Mrs. DUNCAN, of Bogg street, Dartmouth, and Mrs. DeYOUNG, of Eastern Passage, are the daughters.

The funeral of Mrs. Provo HORN took place yesterday afternoon from St. Peter's church, Cow Bay, the rector, Rev. Mr. ROY officiating. Seldom in many years has a funeral in that section been more largely attended. A large party made the trip down from Halifax while scores came in from the surrounding country, crowding the little church. The officiating clergyman took occasion to deliver a brief address, eulogizing the fine character and lovable qualities of the deceased lady, and referring to the fact that her good example should inspire to emulation. The musical details of the service at the church included the singing of the hymns "Nearer my God to Thee" and "When Our Heads Are Bowed With Woe", Miss ROY being the organist, and the full choir of the church; which was present, being supplemented by other singers from Halifax. At the grave side the hymns sung were "A Few More Years Shall Roll" and "Days and Moments Quickly Flying". The Dead March in Saul was also played as the congregatin left the church. Mrs. HORN'S death is widely mourned as that of a truly excellent lady, the memory of whose many virtues will live after her.

HUBBARD'S COVE, March 4 - A feeling of sadness pervaded the whole community when it was learned for a certainty that Granville JOHNSON, of H company, First Canadian Contingent, died of wounds received in the engagement at Paardeberg on the 18th of February. This brave lad was a most promising young man and well liked by all. He was a son of Captain Robert JOHNSON of Black Point, who had the terrible misfortune to lose both eyes in a blasting accident several years ago. In conversation with Captain JOHNSON in January, he told your correspondent that "if he had twenty sons he would not keep one of them back from going to fight for their country." It was this same spirit that prompted his plucky son to volunteer for battle and lay down his life for queen and country on a South African veldt.

On Sunday morning, October 20th, there passed away Mrs. Jonas JOHNSON, at the advanced age of 88 years. Mrs. JOHNSON had been a faithful member of Brunswick Street Methodist church for many years, and during these years she was seldom absent from the regular services. During the last few years of her life she was not able to enjoy the privilege of attending the usual services of the church, but full appreciated the visits of her pastor and other friends who had known her for many years. Mrs. JOHNSON was an intelligent and interested reader of current events of the day, and was also a kind friend of the poor and unfortunate. To the bereaved friends sincere sympathy will be extended by many who have long known her as a friend to all who needed help and sympathy. The funeral will take place from the residence of her son-in-law, Thomas C. JOHNSON, on Tuesday afternoon.

Former Dartmouthian Dead
The North Sydney Herld has the following:-
"Another of North Sydney's oldest and most respected citizens has passed away in the person of Daniel LAWLOR, of the firm D. Lawlor & Son, merchant tailors. The deceased had been ill for some time and his death was not unexpected. Mr. LAWLOR had been a prominent figure in business and social life of this town for more than half a century, and he will be much missed in the community. He was active as a temperance man, being a member of the order of the Sons of Temperance from its organization in Cape Breton more than fifty years ago. He was always a foremost member of Royal Albert lodge A.F. & A. Masons. In both these societies he held the confidence and esteem of his associates in a noteworthy degree during his long connection with these bodies. The deceased was a man of kindly heart, a warm friend, a good citizen and an affectionate father and husband. In every relation of life he was the same true man. Born at Cole Harbor, Halifax county, he came to Cape Breton when a young man in 1848. He lived for a time at Sydney Mines, but took up his residence two years later at North Sydney, and he had been a leading citizen ever since. The deceased was a brother of the late Henry M. LAWLOR, was associated with his father son, T.J. LAWLOR, [who] some years ago went to Manitoba, in the western section of which province he is one of the leading merchants. His second son, M.W. LAWLOR, was associated with his father in business."

Dartmouth News - The many friends of Andrew LAWLOR will regret to learn of the death of his wife which took place this morning shortly after midnight. Her death was sudden and unexpected. She had been confined for some time but there was not the slightest comprehension of danger. Last evening she was visited by her sister. While in conversation Mrs. LAWLOR took a weak turn and went off in a faint. Medical assistance was quickly summoned, but ere the doctor had arrived the spirit had departed from the body and was winging its flight with the old year to the regions above. The deceased was a young woman and her early demise will be learned with much sorrow. Mr. LAWLOR has the heartfelt sympathy of the community in his bereavement.

The Proprietor of the Lorne Passes Away
John LOMAS' Unexpected Death Casts a Gloom Over the Popular Morris Street Hotel
There passed away at half-past four o'clock this morning, at the Lorne House, of which for twenty years he has been the proprietor, John LOMAS, one of the best known men in Halifax.
The sad news will be received with great surprise and genuine regret. An air of gloom pervaded the Lorne House this morning, for the genial host was heartily liked by all the guests, and his death after a week's illness was a real shock to them.
In June last Mr. LOMAS fell ill, and about eight weeks ago he underwent the amputation of one of his legs. The result was in a high degree satisfactory and he had apparently made a complete recovery, when, one week ago, he contracted a heavy cold. Pneumonia subsequently developed, but a fatal termination was not dreamed of until yesterday, when an ominous change in his condition made it impossible to encourage any hope of his recovery.
He passed away in the early morning in the house which under his admirable management has become one of the most popular private hotels in the whole province.
John Stakesby LOMAS was an Englishman. On November 23, 1836, he was born in Derby, England. At the age of 17 years in the midst of stirring times, he enlisted in the British army and was subsequently ordered with his regiment - the sixty-second - to the Crimea, where he gallantly defended the flag through a memorable, a glorious campaign.
At the close of the war his regiment was ordered to Halifax. Here he purchased his discharge from the army, and was successively thereafter in the employ of Lord MULGRAVE, the officer commanding; Sir Brenton HALIBURTON and Mr. Enos COLLINS, as butler.
Subsequently he became steward at the Halifax hotel and still later visited the United States.
In 1887 he returned to Halifax and purchased the property now known as the Lorne House, which he has since continuously conducted.
He married in 1859 Ellen, daughter of William HAZLETT, of England, who died in 1892, at the age of 55 years.
Four children of this marriage survive - George A., baggage master on the Intercolonial railway; Emma (Mrs. CAMERON), living in Winnipeg; Laura, wife of Rufus ZWICKER, chief engineer on the government steamer Tyrian, and John W., unmarried and living at home.
Mr. LOMAS' second wife, who survives him, was Jessie, daughter of Charles WHYTE, of Turiff, Scotland. There was one child of this union - Isabel May - who also survives her father.
Mr. LOMAS' death removes a sterling man. Sympathy will be widely felt for his wife and family.
He was an active Mason and a member of St. Mark's Lodge. Every one of his fellow members will feel his loss as a personal sorrow. "LOMAS", said one this morning, "was a good fellow." He was in politics a staunch conservative. He was a member of St. Luke's, whence his funeral will take place at half-past three o'clock on Wednesday to Camp Hill cemetery, Dean CRAWFORD officiating.
And also at p. 12, col. 4:
Died - LOMAS - At his residence, the Lorne House, Morris street, on the morning of November 4, John Stakesby LOMAS, a native of Derby, England, in the seventy-first year of his age. Funeral at 3.30 P.M., on Wednesday, from the Pro-Cathedral of St. Luke, and thence to Camp Hill cemetery. (No flowers.)

William MANN, of Herring Cove, was drowned on Saturday night almost within sight of his home. MANN had been in Halifax on Saturday and set out to return in the afternoon. He did not reach home, and in the morning parties found his boat on the rocks broken up. Further search discovered the body. The boat had capsized, probably by a squall, or MANN lost his way in the blinding snow that was falling heavily, driven by a high wind, and his boat struck and he perished within a few rods of his home.
The Evening Mail, Tuesday, 15 January 1907, p. 3:
Great difficulty was experienced by the residents of Herring Cove in recovering the remains of William MANN, who was drowned Saturday night within sight of his home by the capsizing of his boat. The body was discovered at ten o'clock Sunday morning, a few yards from the shore. As this part of the shore where the body was located was very rocky, it was impossible to launch boats, as they would have been dashed to pieces. As the sea was rough the body was carried right upon the beach, but before the men could reach it another sea would come up and carry it out again. Grappling hooks were attached to long pieces of wood and these were floated out and at three o'clock in the afternoon they finally succeeded in recovering the body.

Page 6: SYDNEY - February 7 - Jno. A. MARR, who was found dead yesterday in a Boston tenement house, was a native of Mabou, Cape Breton, and was 43 years of age. He lived in this city for two or three years, being employed by Dominion Iron and Steel company as a pattern maker. He went to Boston a few months ago. His wife and family of six children are still living here. Before coming to Sydney, MARR and family lived in Bath. Me. He belonged to the Oddfellows' Lodge there and they are having [the] remains taken to that city for internment.
Page 9: The dead body of John A. MARR, of Sydney, was found, face downward, in a bath tub on the fourth floor of the tenement house at 130 Dart street, where he had been lodging last night. As the body was partly clothed, and from the fact that his bed had been opened, it is thought that he had retired, felt faint and gone to the bathroom for water. Medical Examiner Stedman was summoned after the finding of the body by Miss Stuart, the landlady, but from his superficial examination all thought of foul play or suicide was dispelled. It is said that the man has a wife and six children living in Sydney.

Five of the latter live at home and two - Elisha and Robert - are in the west.

The death occurred shortly after midnight last night, at his residence, 51 Seymour street, of John McCROW, one of the best known men in this city. The news of his death will be received with deep regret in the wide circle of his friends, and comes as a sad shock to them, owing to the fact that his illness was a very short one, dating only from Friday last. However, it became almost immediately apparent that his symptoms were such as to cause grave solicitude and he rapidly grew worse, death as stated, supervening shortly after midnight last night. Mr. McCROW was a native of Aytown, Berwickshire, Scotland, and was in the sixty-ninth year of his age. He came to Halifax in 1862, as a member of Battery 5, Fifteenth Brigade, Royal Artillery, and during the forty-four years of his residence here came to be regarded as one of our most useful men, adding to business acumen the sterling qualities of character which win and retain friends. He was a most kindly and humane man, delighting in doing good quietly and unostentatiously, and the number of those to whom he has lent a helping hand will never be known. Mr. McCROW went in a provisional battalion as captain at the time of the Riel rebellion, and did gallant service. He was a member of the society of Royal British Veterans, a past master of Virgin Lodge Free Masons, joining the Grand Lodge in 1876; was a member of Murray Division, Sons of Temperance, and a past grand worthy associate of the Grand Division as well as a member of the National Division. He lent his influence always to the promotion of good causes and will be greatly missed in the various organizations of which he was a member. He is survived by his wife and daughter, Miss Ella McCROW. The funeral will take place from his late residence, 51 Seymour street, on Thursday, at 4 p.m.

A. P.E. ISLANDER'S MURDER. - On the 20th inst. in Los Angeles, California, Aldolfo SILVAS was hanged for the murder of James McINTYRE. The latter belonged to Campbell's Cove, East Point. P.E.I. About 2 o'clock on the morning of July 21, 1884, McINTYRE and Timothy HICKEY were on New High street, Los Angeles. When they arrived in front of No. 318, a saloon kept by Frank OLIVLER, HICKEY, who was on the inside of the walk, jostled against the occupant of a chair. The touch was but trifling, but in an instant the occupant jumped up and commenced to call one of the men disagreeable names. A scuffle immediately ensued. The lounger in the chair drew a large knife and made a lunge at McINTYRE. The latter tried to beat off his antagonist, but being unarmed his efforts were futile. While McINTYRE was using his hands his assailant thrust his knife several times into his body. These blows had fatal effect and within twenty feet from where the scuffle commenced McINTYRE fell, and soon expired. His companion, HICK EY, in the meantime had deserted him. The man who committed the deed was Adolfo SILVAS.

PLANT LINER HALIFAX HAS FLAG HALF-MAST
Ship's Carpenter, John McLean, of This City, Washed Overboard and Drowned in Terrible Hurricane That Swept the Steamer's Decks - Twenty-Four Hours Overdue Reaching Boston.
BOSTON, November 4th. - With her flag flying at half-mast, her deck houses battered, and broken, the crew of a shipwrecked fisherman on board, and everyone of her own sixty-two passengers thankful to reach dry land once more, the Plant line steamer Halifax came into port yesterday morning, twenty-four hours overdue. From stem to stern the big ship gave eloquent testimony of her fearful encounter with a North Atlantic hurricane, and the signal of death at the masthead denoted that one of the crew, John McLEAN, the ship's carpenter, had paid a fearful tribute to the fury of the wind and sea. Thursday last the full force of the storm overtook the Halifax, and for twenty-four hours terrific seas washed the decks continuously, battering down the doors, flooding the saloon, and stripping off the woodwork as though it had been paper. While panic reigned in the cabin, and the women passengers were plunged in despair, Captain ELLIS and his men stuck manfully at their posts, and to their heroic efforts the salvation of the ship and its terrified passengers is due. McLEAN was washed overboard and lost in the darkness before there was time to give the alarm or to throw him a line. __________________
H.L. CHIPMAN, manager of the Plant line company, received a telegram Saturday morning from Boston stating that the steamer Halifax, which sailed from here Wednesday at midnight had arrived in Boston Saturday morning, being over fifty-five hours on the trip, and that during the voyage John McLEAN, carpenter of the steamer, had been washed overboard and drowned. Mr. McLEAN was formerly carpenter on the steamer Alpha, but for some time past has been in the Plant line service. The deceased was a man of sterling qualities and was highly respected by all who knew him.
Mr. McLEAN lived at No. 48 Robie street and leaves a wife and two small children. Mr. CHIPMAN notified Rev. Mr. GLENDENNING, whose church the deceased attended, and who conveyed the sad news to Mr. McLEAN's family.
When the Halifax left the Plant wharf Wednesday night it was raining, but not blowing hard, and she evidently struck the storm Thursday when well down the coast, as the telegram stated she hove to for twenty hours in Thursday's storm.
The passengers by the Halifax were: - Miss MELVIN, Miss WEYNOTT, Miss N. VANCE, Mrs. S. DeYOUNG, J. WEBSTER, Miss McQUARRIE, Miss CHISHOLM, Miss L. BROWN, Miss K. MURPHY, Misses CAVANAGH, D. GREENOUGH, Miss G. STEWART, I. MAHER, E. BOUTILIER and wife, E. KROVES, C. COLCHESTER, Mrs. A.C. STONE, S. KAYZO, J.A. CARMICHAEL, A.I. GILZEE, Mrs. W.H. HALLIDAY, Mrs. H. MERRILL, Miss E.K. DeFREYTAS, S. SMITH, Miss DEMPSEY.
Miss Fannie FRYER, former secretary of the Y.M.C.A., this city, was also a passenger.

The Halifax Mail, 7 January 1941, p. 8, col. 2:
News of the sudden passing of Edward (Spud) MURPHY on Dec. 31 came as a distinct shock to numerous friends in the city, particularly old army comrades of the early 1900's and co-workers on the waterfront. The veteran was at the South Terminals shortly before he was stricken, and he was in his usual good spirits, walking along, apparently as smart as the good soldier he was 40 years ago.
Mr. MURPHY was one of the most popular figures in military and civilian circles since, as a youth of 19 years, he enlisted in the Third Special Service Battalion, the R.C.R. We have heard of his smartness in drill which resulted in his being picked from among the trained men to give a display at the Provincial Exhibition in 1900. He was a boxer and won a heavyweight championship in Quebec. He was one of the originals of the No. 5 Detachment C.P.A.S.C., and was among the smartest appearing on the streets in the attractive Lilywhites blue and white uniform.
During the First Great War he served with the 66th P.L.F. and was on the Military Police. He had an opportunity to continue soldiering but decided to re-enter civil life, a step he said, a short time ago, that he regretted. The sympathy of all is extended to his widow and relatives.

Pathetic Tale of the Sea
Two Fishermen Rescued After Being Adrift in Open Dory, Without Food or Water for Three Days and Nights
NORTH SYDNEY, September 23 - Given up as lost - victims to the old ocean, two fishermen, Patrick NOLAN, of Placentia, and Benjamin GERRIOR, of Arichat, who strayed from the schooner Judique 40 miles off Low Point, September 4th, at five in the afternoon, turned up this morning on board the schooner Muriel Y. Young, which arrived here. For four days and nights the men were buffeted by blinding lightning and fierce seas, and when picked up on Saturday, 75 miles off Ramson, were exhausted and on the verge of madness.
The tale of hardship told your correspondent this morning by NOLAN was one of the most trying heard for many days. Only their rugged constitutions saved the mariners from an awful death. "From Wednesday until Saturday", says NOLAN, "we had no food or water. On the second day, during an awful cold rain, thunder and lightning storm, GERRIOR ate a rotten squid which he found in the bottom of the dory. Immediately he took sick and that night became delirious. The sail was carried away. Believing all hope gone we lay down to get our first sleep, caring not what our end might be. When we awoke in the morning the sun shone, but nothing but the blue expanse of ocean was to be seen. From steering my arm became paralyzed, but I still held a hope of seeing a passing sail. This continued until Saturday at noon when we were taken helpless from the bottom of the dory and put on board the schooner. The men are to be sent to Gloucester by the American consul.

SHELL ALMOST HITS A CHURCH
One Fired From MacNab's It Strikes Few Feet From Herring Cove Church
Two Minutes Afterwards Congregation Dispersed and Were Gathered On the Spot
Councillor Hayes Saved His Life By Ducking and Snow's Driver Narrowly Escaped
Albert BURNS, driver for Snow & Co., undertakers, had an experience yesterday, which he does not care to repeat, through the carelessness of a party of soldiers at big gun practice at McNab's Island. Snow & Company were conducting the funeral of Miss Alma OAKLEY, at Herring Cove, and the remains had been taken into the Roman Catholic church at that place for the service, Mr. BURNS remaining outside with the hearse. Shortly before the close of the service he leaned up against the northeast corner of the building, and had not been there many seconds before he was startled by hearing a peculiar noise, and immediately noticed Councillor HAYES, who was walking toward the church, stoop. And he did so just in time, for no sooner had he done so than a twelve-pound steel shell flew right over him almost touching his hat. It passed close over the backs of the horses, badly frightening them, and struck the ice just five yards from the northeast corner of the church, breaking up a patch about five feet square. It rebounded and flew into the woods, where it was picked up later. Not two minutes afterwrds the service was closed and the congregation was gathered in front of the building where the shell struck. It is a piece of steel about eight inches long and three inches in diameter, and is now in charge of Councillor HAYES, who will bring it to the city and enter a complaint to the military authorities.
The Evening Mail, Friday, 18 March 1904, p. 8:
Patrick HAYES, of Herring Cove, who called at The Mail office this morning, had in his possession the shot fired from a gun at McNab's Island during recent gun practice, and which nearly struck the church at Herring Cove. He was on his way to see Major-General PARSONS in connection with the matter. The shot weighed over twelve pounds.

Deceased was a well-known printer, for many years foreman of The Herald job department, and filling the same position in other offices of the city at different times. Of a retiring nature and much given to reading and study, he became well informed on current topics and problems of scientific thought.

His wife predeceased him on Palm Sunday, three years ago, a remarkable coincidence. He leaves to mourn his loss, four sons and a daughter - Henry F., employed at Alex. MOODY'S printing office; John A. (Fred), engineer on the cable steamer Mackay-Bennett, at present in New York; Arthur J., in Toronto, printer, and Albert P., grocer, of this city, and Mrs. RYAN, wife of Mr. RYAN, bandmaster of the R.C. regiment.

On the afternoon of Friday, September 28th, the little community of Ship Harbor was startled by news of a distressing fatality, the victim being Harry O'BRYAN, son of Sylvester O'BRYAN, aged 14 years and 5 months. The lad lost his life while sailing across the harbor, after a visit to a friend, John STODDARD, on the west side of the harbor. When halfway across the boat - a one-sail-boat - was struck by a squall, filling and sinking immediately. Mrs. James FAHIE, at whose house young O'BRYAN boarded, saw the boat sink and at once gave the alarm, her husband reacing the spot in a few moments. No trace of the unfortunate lad could be seen. The body never rose again, and in spite of continuous effort on the part of neighbors, it was not recovered until 10 o'clock last Saturday morning.
The funeral took place from Mr. FAHIE'S home, Rev. Father SWEET officiating both at the church and grave. This was Father SWEET'S first ministration at Ship Harbor, to which he was recently appointed. Much sympathy is expressed for the lad's parents, as well as for Mr. and Mrs. FAHIE, who were much attached to him.
On the occasion of the funeral many beautiful flowers were received, the list being as follows:- Cut flowers, Florence O'BRYAN; wreath, Mrs. Ralph BLAKNEY; wreath, Mrs. Joseph CHAPMAN; cross, Miss Myrtle RUSSELL; cut flowers, Helen and Eva MARTIN; cross, a friend; a memento, Gregor O'B. FAHIE.

To the Editor of the Mail
Sir, - It was with a feeling of grief I read the announcement of the death of an old friend and comrade in arms, Corporal Robert PORTEOUS, of the Royal Engineers, which took place on May 13th. Corporal PORTEOUS, or Sapper PORTEOUS as he was at the time of our soldiering, was one of those who took a many pride in his profession and would as soon have thought of suicide as bring disgrace to the uniform he wore. He was always ready to "fall in" at the last tap of the sticks, and placed duty before pleasure in all things. He has attended his last muster on the square, and now goes to answer the roll up higher, where I feel assured he will be found in the front rank. He married some nine years ago, a Miss Jane BLANK, of Eastern Passage, who survives him, and to whom our heartfelt sympathy goes forth in this her dark hour.

TWO HALIFAX MEN KILLED ON STEAMSHIP TYRIAN
Plug in Boiler Tube Blew Out and Patrick McGrath and Patrick Purcell Were So Badly Scalded That They Died in a Few Hours
SYDNEY, October 29. - The government cable steamer, Tyrian, Captain O'LEARY, arrived in port at ten o'clock last night with the news of a fatal explosion that occurred on board the steamer while off Cape North early yesterday morning. The Tyrian left North Sydney late Friday night to complete repairs to the Magdalen Island cable. Matters proceeded satisfactorily until about seven o'clock Saturday morning, when a plug in one of the boiler tubes blew out, filling the engine and boiler rooms with steam and gas. Fireman Patrick PURCELL and Trimmer Patrick McGRATH were engaged in cleaning out the fire at the time of the blow out and before leaping to the deck were horribly scalded. Upon examination their condition was found to be critical and all was done for the unfortunate sufferers that could be done with the limited medical facilities at hand. After consuming about seven hours in making temporary repairs to the boilers, Captain O'LEARY headed the steamer for Sydney at full speed, the object being to
secure the best medical assistance for the injured men. PURCELL succumbed while the steamer was coming into dock, and McGRATH died at 10.30 this morning, medical assistance being of no avail. Patrick PURCELL was aged 60 years, and Patrick McGRATH, 40 years. Both are Halifax men, and the remains will be forwarded to their homes to-morrow. PURCELL is a widower and McGRATH unmarried. The Tyrian will make permanent repairs to her boiler before leaving port.
The Evening Mail, Tuesday, 31 October 1905, p. 10:
Died - The funeral of Patrick PURCELL, who was scalded to death on the steamer Tyrian, will take place from the residence of his brother-in-law, 26 Lockman street. The deceased leaves four sons and three daughters to mourn the loss of a kind and loving father. (Newfoundland and Boston papers copy.)

The remains will be taken to Prospect for internment.

Arthur HURST, John HORN and Clyde ROBERTS went out in the bay, in a small boat for the purpose of jigging squid, and while returning home, the boat was struck by a squall and sank with all hands within a mile from shore, before aid could reach them. Young HURST was the only support of his widowed mother. The sad event has cast a gloom over the whole neighbourhood and much sympathy is felt for the bereaved parents and relatives. None of the bodies have yet been recovered.

DARTMOUTH NEWS - OLDEST INHABITANT DEAD
The death of Margaret ROBERTSON yesterday removed from the community probably the oldest person in Halifax county, if not in the province. She ws 103 years of age, and although she has been confined to her bed for more than a year her intellectual faculties have been preserved in a remarkable degree and she could conerse rationally on all matters, her memory carryng her back to times beyond the recollection of all others. The deceased was a daughter of James ROBERTSON, who came to this country from Scotland more than 125 years ago and settled in Musquodoboit. When she was about eighteen years of age her family removed to Dartmouth, where they lived in the old Russell house on the Asylum road. Some years later the family removed to Cole Harbor, where the Robertson homestead near the Dyke became one of the best known resorts in the county. There the deceased and her family resided for many years. There she watched the progress of improving the dyke reclaiming large tracts of land from the sea. The place was a great fishing resort and many of the older generation will remember the deceased. After the death of her father she removed to Dartmouth and has since resided with her niece, Miss Ellen ACKER on Ochterloney street.

Mr. ROSS seeing the danger of his situation ran towards the bow of the vessel but was overtaken by the falling spars, and struck in the region of the back and kidneys, from the effects of which he died two hours after. He was a genial man, having hosts of friends and not one enemy. We miss him like a very brother." The deceased was in the fifty-second year of his age.

The news of the death yesterday, at her residence, 59 Birmingham street, of Margaret Cecilia, wife of I.E. SANFORD, of Sanford Brothers, will be received with genuine regret by all who knew her, and more especially by her friends in the parish of St. Mary's. It has been known that her condition for a week past has been such as to encourage little hope of her recovery, but it was yet thought possible that, in spite of her alarming symptoms, her life might be spared. However, this was not so to be, and in spite of the most devoted nursing and best medical skill, she passed away yesterday.
Just a month ago Mrs. SANFORD was taken ill, of pneumonia, but at that time no one suspected a fatal outcome. She apparently was well advanced toward recovery, when she had a relapse and complications involving the heart made themselves apparent. This was about a week ago and was recognized then to be an undoubtedly alarming development. It is thought that the shock of the very sudden death, two months ago, of her sister-in-law, Mrs. J.William SMITH, was a very appreciable factor in her own. It was a distressing blow to her, as to all the family.
Mrs. SANFORD, who was Miss Margaret Cecilia CAMERON, was 39 years of age, and the centre of a particularly happy home. She was a devout Catholic, attending St. Mary's cathedral, and lending generously of her energies and means to all the parish work. She was one of the most energetic workers for the fair to be given in November by the Children of Mary of the parish, in aid of the poor. To her had been assigned charge of the fancy table, and for weeks before she was taken ill, she had been hard at work making pretty things for her table. She was also a member of the Ladies' Auxiliary of St. Mary's Young Men's Society. By her friends of these organizations she will be sadly missed.
Mrs. SANFORD is survived by her husband, for whom much sympathy is felt. Her mother, Mrs. William CAMERON, resident in Halifax, a sister, Miss Mary CAMERON, also of Halifax, and a brother, Duncan CAMERON, of New Glasgow, also survive her. The funeral will take place at half-past two o'clock on Tuesday afternoon.

H.D. Stevens is Among the Dead
Musquodoboit Man Lost His Life in the Boston & Maine Railway Wreck
CONCORD, N.H., Spetember 16. - Among the killed in the Boston and Maine wreck from Sherbrooke, near Canaan, early yesterday morning, by which 25 passengers of the Quebec express lost their lives and nearly 30 were injured was H.D. STEVENS, of Musquodoboit. The investigation by the officials occupied the entire time of the heads of the system to-day. General Superintendent GELEE and Assistant General Superintendent G.H. FOLGER, of Boston, with William E. RAY, superintendent of the Concord division, examined the records in the train despatcher's office here, and also made a careful investigation at Canaan and other stations along the line of the Concord division, in an effort to determine just who was responsible for the blunder by which the two trains were brought together. The proceedings of the examination were secret, but it is known that J.A. BROWLEY, the train despatcher in this city, and Operator GREELEY, the man who received the order from the train despatcher at the station in Canaan, were particula rly questioned. After the examination of these men at the office of Division Superintendent RAY, the railway officials, accompanied by operator GREELEY, left for the scene of the accident in a special train.
The Evening Mail, Thursday, 19 September 1907, p. 7, col. 6:
The remains of Herbert Donald STEVENS, who was killed in the Quebec express train wreck arrived last night and were taken in charge by Funeral Director SNOW, who forwarded them to Musquodoboit for internment. The deceased who was in the thirty-third year of his age, was a blacksmith by trade, and when the accident occurred he was on his way to visit a sister, who he had not seen in years.

Bay of Island's Merchant Drowned
William Tibbo, Well Known in Halifx, Seized With a Cramp While in Bathing and Drowns.
NORTH SYDNEY, September 16. - From captains arriving here today come news from the Grand Banks of one of the most tragic drowning accidents occurring in the ancient colony for many years. The victim, William TIBBO, a prominent young man, twenty-four years old, a member of the firm of Tibbo and Son, Grand Banks, was one of the prominent and successful men in Newfoundland, and had many friends in Cape Breton and Halifax.
According to Captain William EVANS, of the schooner Olive Evans, now in port, young TIBBO and a friend, named Chester HARRIS, left Grand Banks in a sail boat for Garnish, a small village twenty-one miles distant. After reaching their destination, the young men went bathing. TIBBO, who was further out to sea than his comrades, was seized with cramps and by the time HARRIS reached him he was sinking for the third time.
After considerable difficulty, HARRIS managed to hold the half conscious young man partly out of the water, finally getting the latter's hands around his neck. The task was no easy one, but finally Harris started for the shore, taking TIBBO with him. How far he got with his burden no one knows.
People passing along the shore later on saw HARRIS lying unconscious and after resuscitating him the discovery was made that TIBBO had proved a victim. Searchers afterwards found the dead body of the young merchant and sent it to Grand Banks, where it was buried by the Masons, of which the deceased was a member. TIBBO was well known in athletic circles, being captain of the crack football team of his native place.

The death occurred last night in Dartmouth, under circumstances calculated to excite the deepest sympathy of all familiar with them, of Elizabeth, wife of Albert TRIDER, chief clerk at W. H. Cabot's. Mrs. TRIDER who leaves a baby boy three weeks old, was apparently doing well until about a week ago, and her speedy recovery, especially in view of her hitherto perfect health, was regarded as a matter of course, but heart trouble developing baffled the skill of Doctors MILSOM, STEWART and CHISHOLM, the young mother, who was but 28 years of age, sinking rapidly. Mrs. TRIDER was a daughter of Captain George MAY, of Dartmouth, and had a wide circle of friends in that town, as well as in Halifax. Her marrige took place in 1900 in the church from which her funeral will take place - Christ church, Dartmouth. She was a great favorite with all who knew her, and the blow which has removed her from the home in which she was so happy is felt to be a very hard one for her husband, who, with a son two and a half yea rs old and the infant referred to, survives her. She leaves also three sisters and one brother. The sisters are Ida and Hattie, and Mrs. PRESCOTT, of Dartmouth. The brother, Arthur, is a child of ten. The funeral will take place at half-past two o'clock on Thursday from her late residence and thence to Christ church.

ELMSDALE, December 5 - The funeral of the late John URQUHART, J.P., took place from his late residence on Tuesday, 4th inst., at one o'clock p.m. Rev. Mr. DAVISON, pastor of the Elmsdale Presbyterian church, conducted the services. Notwithstanding the recent snow fall, which blocked the roads, many friends and neighbors gathered at the old homestead to pay their last sad token of respect to one who was universally beloved and respected. The pallbearers, all old neighbors, were Messrs. Stewart SMITH, James KENTY, John P. HORNE, George McKENZIE, Charles HORNE and Hugh FRASER.
The deceased, although of Scotch Presbyterian parentage, in his youth became a member of the Methodist church, remaining true to his convictions during the remainder of his life. For over forty years he filled the office of justice of the peace in and for the county of Hants. He was a man of strong intellect, clear in his judgments, quick to see his duty, which no amount of false reasoning could ever deter mhim from performing. His knowledge of law was remarkable for a man in his modest position, and he never failed while dealing out justice to temper it with mercy and kindliness. In politics Mr. URQUHART was a lifelong conservative, regarding his vote as a sacred trust to be conscientiously used for his country's benefit. He was for thirty years a subscriber to the Montreal Star. He was noted for his kindness and hospitality both at home and toward his neighbors, not one of whom but accorded him the respect and esteem due an honorable man in whom there was no double-dealing. He leaves a family of ten, four daughters and six sons, to mourn the loss of a beloved and respected father, whose place cannot be filled on earth, but whose example is worthy of an honored place in the lives of each and all of them. Mrs. KENTY, North Sydney; Mrs. FIELDING, Windsor, and Messrs. Fred and James URQUHART, of Kentville and Wellington, respectively, were with their father when he died, and remained until after the funeral on Tuesday.

The death occurred at Prospect, on Friday, September 20th, of Margaret, widow of William WALSH, aged eighty-five years. The death of this lovable old lady - a remarkable one in many respects - will be very deeply regretted throughout the section in which she lived. In spite of her advanced age, she retained the use of all her faculties to the last. Her last illness was of only eight days duration, and up to that time she enjoyed practically perfect health. Possessed of a most kind heart, delighting to do good unostentatiously, she will be sadly missed.
Her funeral, which took place on Sunday last, was one of the largest which has taken place in the neighborhood in years, and many expressions of sympathy were received.
She is survived by two sons and four daughters - Mrs. CAMERON, Mrs. Frank MEEHAN, Mrs. P.A. DUGGAN, and Mrs. Daniel MEERHYS.
