George
Hendry's Death
A telegraphic message received by Mr. George Hendry, of this Town, on Sunday morning
conveyed the startling and distressing intelligence that his son, George Hendry, had
been killed on Saturday night at Harvey Lake.
Mr. S. Watts, a coronor for the County of York, also received a
dispatch asking him to go to McAdam and hold an inquest. It so
happened that the Presque Isle Express, detained by the storm on
Saturday, reached Woodstock early in the afternoon on Sunday and in that train Mr. Hendry, the
undertaker, with a casket, and Mr. Watts proceeded to McAdam where the
remains having arrived an inquest was held and the facts, on
evidence, disclosed as follows:-
Mr.
Hendry, aged 23 years, was a fireman on the St. John Section of the C.
P. R., and on Saturday evening was, acting in that capacity on
one of two engines, ordered out with a snow special from McAdam
Junction; the
driver was E. Haddock and conductor James Wright. The train consisted of
snowplow, two engines and caboose. At Harvey Lake, from some
unknown cause, the snowplow and leading engine with cab and
tender, the train running at about 12 miles an hour, left the
irons and went over the embankment, about 20 feet high, on and
through the ice into the lake, the engine and greater portion of
the cab being submerged. A hole was broken into the tank, by the
collision, from which the water rushed into the cab and the coal
from the tender also poured into it.
The driver escaped through the window of the cab onto the the
ice, Hendry
being, as it appeared, carried down into the water of the lake
under the coal in the cab. Efforts were at once made to find the missing
man. Mr. G. A. Haggerty was, as soon as possible at the scene of
the accident with a wrecking train, but it was found impossible
to secure the body until the morning, (Sunday), when the cab was
burned, the ice melted and on reaching down his arms length into
the water, one of the men was able to grasp Hendry's hand. It then required the united
strength of two men, Michael Ward and John Ganong, to draw the body , which
seemed to be in a crouching position, from under the coal which
was upon it. It was found that the left arm was broken above the
elbow and one arm and leg badly scalded.
The
coronor's jury,
J. W. Hoyt, J. W. Green, E. W. Brownell, M. H. Goodspeed, G. T.
Baskin, W. H. Densmore and J. H. McLeod, found a verdict in
accordance with the facts, as they appeared on evidence,
exonerating the Ry. Co. and employees from blame.
The
remains of young Hendry were placed in a casket by the
undertaker, Francis Kelly, in the office of G. W. Haggerty who showed
every possible attention, and then brought to Woodstock on Monday morning on a special.
The funeral, largely attended, took place on Tuesday. Rev. Mr.
Baker of the Albert St. Baptist Church officiated. Woodstock
Lodge L. O. L. attended the funeral in a body, and also a
delegation of Foresters from McAdam. The parents and sisters of
the deceased have the public sympathy in this sad bereavement, by
which a promising and bright young man, only 23 years old, highly
esteemed by those who knew him, met his untimely end.

Glassville Items
Our neighborhood was the scene of a very sad calamity this
morning, Saturday the 20th, involving loss of life. Mrs. Harvey Fisher, whose
husband was absent in the lumber woods left her house about 10
o'clock to do up her barn work, her two children, aged one and
three years respectively, remaining in the house.
Shortly
afterwards from some cause, to your correspondent unknown, the house took fire.
Mrs. Fisher heard an alarm and made for her dwelling, reaching
the door, only to be driven back by the flames. Her efforts to
rescue her children were alas unavailing. In a brief period the dwelling
was in ashes, and the remains of the little ones buried beneath
the debris.
The heart broken mother's friends in West Glassville were
immediately notified of the mournful dispersation, by-Robinson, Alexander Brown and Frank Hume harnessed up and started for
Burnthill to apriee the bereaved father of his loss.

Mr. G. S.
Wiggins met with a painful accident and had a most wonderful
escape from a shocking death, Monday morning. While working in the griss
mill, his clothing was caught in a rapidly revolving laying
shaft, and he was carried round with it. The shaft was about
three feet from the floor, so that only his feet would strike at
each revolution. He supposes he must have turned with the wheel
at least a hundred times, before he lost consciousness. When he
came to himself he was lying on the floor under the shaft, with
his coat, vest and under clothing completely torn from his body,
by these giving way he had fallen free from his dangerous
position. Dr. Atkinson was summoned, but upon examination found
that with the exception of some very severe bruises on his feet,
shoulder and head no injury had been sustained.

lost his life.
Mr. Hume was moving about the house in the dark when in some way
he fell down the entire length of the stairs. His daughter was

suffered a dislocation of one shoulder, a breakage of the collar
bone and, of course, a severe shock to the whole system. His
sons, George and Bedford were sent for, and everything done to

and after lingering till Wednesday evening death came to the

In
Memoriam
The sudden and unexpected death of Mrs. Dr. T. S. Pitt, of Boston, better known here as Miss Sadie
Shaw, will
be sad news for her many friends in this part of the county.
Mrs. Pitt was born in Middle Simonds some 35 years ago. When
quite young she learned dressmaking, and after working at it here
for several years, she went to Boston, and there continued
working at dressmaking, occupying an important position in one of
Boston's largest dressmaking establishments. Three years ago she married Dr.
T. S. Pitt.
Immediately after her marriage she went west with her husband
where they remained for a year, after which they returned to
Boston and occupied a handsome residence in Boyleston, a suburb
of Boston.
The cause of Mrs. Pitt's death was a tumor of the stomach which
had been growing on her side for the past year, but so mindful
was she of others feelings her trouble was known but to a few of
her friends. About two weeks ago in consultation with
specialists, they advised her as her only hope to live any time
was to submit to an operation. With the same brave spirit with
which she faced the battle of life, she faced the painful ordeal
of a surgical operation from the shock of which she never
rallied, dying Wednesday evening Feb. 8, two days after the
operation.
Funeral services were held at her home in Boston, Friday
afternoon, after which her body was taken to the train that was to bear
her to her old home and friends in Woodstock and Simonds. The body arrived in Woodstock
at one o'clock Saturday, accompanied by her husband Dr. Pitt, and
her two sisters and brother.
The remains were taken to her mother's house on Water St. where
they were viewed by her many friends of Woodstock. Sunday a. m.
she was taken to Simonds, where at 12 o'clock the funeral
services took place, Rev. D. D. Page of the Advent Church,
conducting them. She was buried in the old Simonds burying ground
beside her father and two sisters. Much sympathy is felt for the
bereived mother, this
making the third daughter brought home to her from the States to look upon for the last time.

appreciation of Mr. Garden's professional attainments and
personal qualities, and of the energy and ability he had shown in
carrying out the work, which was calculated to be of much
importance to the northern part of the county of Terrebonne.
The address, which was read by Mr. Murray, of St. Jovite,
concluded by expressing the hope that Mr. Garden's wife and
family, as well as himself, would be blessed with a long and

FIRE
At an early hour Thursday morning fire broke out in an out
building attached to the Queen Hotel. The firemen were prompt in responding to the
alarm and soon succeeded in subduing the flames and confining it,
as was supposed, to the locality where it started, but at a later
hour fire was discovered in the main building of the Queen and
before the firemen got control of the flames the entire roof and
upper portion of the ell and main building were destroyed, while
it was perfectly flooded with water so that the damage to the
interior of the building and the furniture was disastrous. Mr. Watson, the owner, has on
his property insurance of $2,000 in the Imperial, Miss Allan
local agent, and $1000 in the North British and Mercantile, J. N.

After the first fire had been quenched, as supposed, the firemen were handsomely regaled at supper by Mr. Boyer, but they had scarcely finished when the last alarm again called them to duty.

Messrs. Latson & Burpee's premises, at No. 150 Water street,
are at present a veritable hive of industry, and over time has to
be resorted to in order to keep up with the many orders in hand.
This firm became established here at the above premises in
October last, they
being patentees and manufacturers of the Latson & Burpee can
wiper, while special attention is given to cannery work,
especially as regards die making. They have a die of their own
invention and manufacture, which has many features to recommend
it, and which has been favorably received by those practically
interested in the cannery business. In one die there are two
centre pieces, of single parts, thus doing away with the old
custom of having two dies. Their can-wiping machine is an
exceedingly clever device and must come into service in every
modern cannery, for whereas the old machines were only capable of
handling 400 or 500 cases a da?, by this firm's invention, as
high as 2,000 cas?s can be put through in a day, this having been
actually done in one of Alex. Ewen's canneries. These machines
have been installed in many canneries on the Fraser and up North,
while orders are in hand for 10 more. Six machines have just been
completed. They are adjustable to wipe and clean cans of any
size, and are capable of being regulated to different speeds of
operation. The works are most thoroughly equipped in every way,
having their own motive power, in an Elison 12 horsepower
electric motor, with the lastest and most approved styles of
lathes, planers, etc.

Michael Gallagher, of
Newburg, is a well and hearty man today,
and it is a wonder. On the 6th of last September, he tells THE
DISPATCH, he met with a slight accident. It was this:
He was driving on a wagon along the river road and fell off the
seat. The wagon was well loaded. On it were eight pieces of
scantling, 40 bushels of buckwheat, 6 men, 2 barrels of flour and
20 gallons of molasses. This load passed over Michael's prostrate
form and to make use of his own realistic description, " it tore all the ribs off my back
bone, shoved one rib through my bowels, and one rib ain't knit
yet." It is wonderful what some men
can pass through and live.

All the papers have given THE DISPATCH a hearty welcome. This
from the Sussex Record : "We
welcome to our exchange list Woodstock's new eight-page weekly,
The Dispatch. The new venture is a
healthy and vigorous youngster and will, we are inclined to
think, make its neighbors hustle. It has a good advertising
patronage and a splendid county to back it."
